Do not Give Up | Buddhism In English I Inner Guide Special Video

[Music] this is a special inner guide video that is dedicated to the little daughter who had asked a question from us she had mentioned in her comment that she has a big problem with laziness and also her exams are near so she is in a big stress and also she said that she no longer finds a value in her life i think most of the people most of us have these kind of questions okay let's start with the first question she had said that she has a big problem with laziness and sleepiness i know that

getting up early in the morning and sitting for studying and doing the studies is a little bit of a hard thing to do when you are a student especially first of all let me introduce you to the words of inspiring words of the supreme buddha supreme buddha said sukharani assad it is very easy to do evil things the things that brings the unhappiness or the suffering or the regret to our life [Music] supreme buddha said yang [Music] if there is something that brings us the happiness to our life if there is something that make us

proud about ourselves doing such things is a really really hard thing so getting up early in the morning and sitting for studying studies is a hard thing to do why because if you do that it brings the happiness to your life right studying educating yourself brings the happiness to your life so most of the people they find hard to get up early in the morning now we all like that fluffy and comfy and warm feeling that we feel on the bed in the morning so when you open your eyes in the morning your mind says

just stay another five minutes and that's the point that you are making the mistake your mind you listen to your mind you listen to what your mind says you when your mind says just take another five minutes more it's okay it's not a problem that is where you make the mistake and that five minutes will last long for another hour and when you get up after an hour you start your mind the same mind that told you to stay on the bed for five minutes will complain you you are not studying it will say that

it will say that you are going to fail the exams [Music] that is how our mind lies us that is how our mind tricks us so when you get up in the morning when you open your eyes in the morning right when your mind says to stay on the bed for another five more minutes do not listen to that do not listen to that lie get up and refresh yourself and start studying early in the morning there's a great quote that i remember all times when even in my life when i'm going through hard times

i remember this quote it says it is a wonderful quote it says if you do what is easy today your life will be hard tomorrow let me repeat that again if you do what is easy today your life will be hard tomorrow but if you do what is hard today your life will be easy tomorrow so getting up early in the morning is hard is a hard thing but if you do that hard thing remember your life will be easy but if you if you stay on the bed for another five minutes feeling doing what

is easy your life will be hard tomorrow so get up early in the morning do you know how long you're gonna feel the hardship of getting up early in the morning do you know how many for how many days that you are going to find very hard to get up in the morning only for three weeks [Music] if you get up early in the morning and start studying in the morning for four three three weeks remember for only for three weeks it will make a habit to your life and after the after that three weeks

you will never find it hard it will become a habit you don't want to think about it again and again it will become a day-to-day practice so do that although you feel hard for three weeks and see the result that is the answer for first question and let's go for the second question she had mentioned that her exams are near so she's stressed and she's unfocused her mind is clumsy so what is the answer for this remember now when the exams are near it is the normal nature that we feel frustrated distracted unfocused and clumsy

that is the normal nature right so i need you to do one thing this is a special thing to do when the exams are near right focus on one thing at a time to study right focus on a single thing [Music] at a time to study study for 20 minutes right when you're studying just forget all the other things that you have to study now normally when we start to study we think when we we find that there are so many things that we have to study in the in a short time [Music] now the

more you remember these things the more your mind will regret the more your mind will start to become clumsy so i need you to do when you are i need you to do this thing when you are studying just forget about all the other things that you have to study just think now i have to study only this thing that's nothing that how you have to study more just focus on that and study for maybe 20 minutes and take a break for five minutes this is called the pomodoro technique i think it is well known

so study for 20 minutes well focused and give yourself a little bit of a break for five minutes and start studying again and focus on the special points in your studies right and now when the exams are near if you haven't studied right so i think i know you are you're regretting in your mind [Music] so if you didn't make through the exam i'm using the word if right if you did not make through your exams i need you to do this thing what is that never ever give up studying at some point in our

life we will lose our balance and we will fall down we will go through hard situations right we will fall down in our life but get back up and try again you will fall for the first time you will fall for the second time you will fall for the fourth time fifth time one if you though you fall for the one millionth time what you have to do is get back up and try again as humans we should never give up in our studies and in our success so if you did not make through the

exams do not quit your studies do not quit your education right get back up and try again and one day one day you will find that you have been success [Music] and let's go for the third question she said that she no longer finds a value to in her life remember as humans we are born to this world to add a value to our life when we come to this world we brought nothing we had nothing we knew nothing but as humans we have to add a value to this life right study well start start

loving others start loving your parents and if you cannot study for yourself right if you cannot work for yourself work for the people who loved you there are so many people around you who loves you who have dedicated their life on behalf of yourself right they're your parents try to bring a smile to your parents face saying mom dad i made it one day you should do this so if you did not give up you will be success one day but if you quit if you give up your education if you give up in your

goals it is very sure you will fail therefore never give up work for yourself as well as work for the people who love you most right bring bring a smile to their face right the only thing that you have to do in your position as a child as a student is to study only you don't want to earn money you don't want to look after the babies there's nothing to do only thing that you have to do is to study do that but never give up that is what i have to share in this special

video so i wish the daughter and all of you have the same questions in your life may you be well and happy may you live long may you live a happy life and may all of your dreams come true and may all of you realize the four noble truth in this gautam buddha's dispensation namo buddha
