Common sense is not so common !!


"Common sense is nothing more than a deposit of prejudices laid down by the mind before you reach eighteen." - Albert Einstein

The dictionary defines common sense as sound and prudent judgement based on a simple perception of the situation or facts .....basically a good sense and sound judgement in practical matters.
I believe people with common sense are reasonable, practical ,trustworthy, understanding.They are down to earth.

Many problems that we face today are due to the lack of common sense.We are just too caught up in the moment we forget about the consequences of our actions.Smart people not always do smart things.They too gamble all their money in stock market.
The more we are trained to think one way, the greater the chance that sometimes we allow sloppy or thinking to take the place of common sense. Common sense isn't a one-stop-destination; it's a way of thinking that needs constant nourishing and application.
We do not realize certain common things :-

  • If we text or talk while driving we might have an accident 
  • Posting a picture of yours on the social media with your first credit card won't help you
  • Making a You-tube video about each and every damn stupid thing wouldn't help too.....
Our common sense tells us that if we eat too much we will fall sick and it tells us that sun rises and sets accordingly,we sleep and wake up etc.Common sense is not what we are born with , it is what we need to develop by adjusting and learning.People fail and succeed in life .....why??
Why can't all succeed , why some fail....??The answer is COMMON SENSE again!!

You need to basically think and act accordingly.Start thinking what are you doing, why are you doing it and what will be its consequences.Make good choices with a positive attitude and everything will be new to you.Try a different and correct approach to each and every situation. When in an argument talk calmly to the person about it or rather choose to be quiet.Silence, my friend, is really powerful.

You need to ask questions to gain knowledge and develop understanding.Do not be afraid to ask and do not think your question is a stupid one or what others gonna think about it .Be yourself ......anyway its your right to talk :P so talk :P

Connect to every situation that life offers you and try your best to learn something useful from it.Learn to learn from your mistakes.Think before taking decisions and plan every thing in advance but do not live your life in stress.Enjoy it in a planned way.Develop your skills and experience by gaining a good knowledge about a particular subject. Read books an anything and everything......build your general awareness.Stay open minded and respect others ideas and notions ....respect their beliefs ......do not agree immediately but try to think about it from your perspective.

Common sense after all is a state of mental awareness which takes the five sense into account :)

Lyrics of "Song For Survival" by Neel Adhikari and Mithila Palkar #DiceLittleThings

   It's Not for us to say What will be And at the end of the day We'll see which way the whole thing bends And what it could bring 'coz nothing really matters 'cept the little things Some say it works like this, Maybe it's true, But the truth can lie sometimes, That's faith for you, Let the preachers talk, and we could sing The song for survival make sure it swings We are not perfect, we are not slick ooooooah We don't steal , just like thieves we are thick we walk our talk and we sing The song for survival make sure it swings It's not for us to say What will be and at the end of the day we'll see Which way the whole thing bends And what it could bring 'coz nothing really matters If we could swing with the little things.

Lyrics of "Tham Ja Zindagi - Girl in the city"

I love this song. I hope you will like it too. Tham ja zindagi  Lambi daud hai, thak jayegi tu  Ab manzil door hai  Wadein jo kiye the khud se  Poore honge muskil se  Ghayal ho gayi hai par hari toh nahi  Agar magar tujh ko lagta hai darr  Bheed mein tu akeli nahi hai Ahista se chal Thokar khayi hai Bachpan se girte padte  Himat aayi hai,  Wadein jo kiye the khud se  Poore honge muskil se  Jahan dag-magayegi, khud ko payegi wahi  Phir bhi agar tujhko lagta hai darr  Bheed mein tu akeli nahi hai.... Iss bheed mein, iss bheed mein.. Kadam dag-maga jae toh girne na dena  Rastein bhatak jaaye  Toh manzil dikha dena(3) Bheed mein..

The addiction is also known as compulsive shopping or compulsive buying disorder. When we come across the term shopping it right away indicates women shopping but it affects men and women equally.
