Mistakes

-
In life, we make lots and lots of mistakes. If we choose to learn from those mistakes, it becomes a lesson. Be it in a relationship, education, career, or investment, all of us have made mistakes in our life at one point or another. Mistakes are bound to happen as we leave our comfort zone and try to experience the new world. We encounter with several challenges as we voyage through this strange seas. Because of our ignorance or bad judgment or influence of others, we might take a wrong step when faced with new challenges. These wrong steps, basically, make us regret our decision for some time or rest of our life depending on its severity. It is at this crucial time that we don’t entirely succumb to regret or sadness or depression. If we sink into this black hole, chances are that we will be trapped in it for eternity. But if we don’t fall into it, and learn to swim away from it, we will come out as a strong person with a new set of skills and knowledge. I believe mistakes should be looked at from fresh light of perspective. It shouldn’t be treated as a culprit, but as a good teacher who always wants the best for their kids.

Waste Problems in Bhutan

“We must be the change we wish to see in the world.” ― Mahatma Gandhi. In Bhutan, it is not uncommon to see ugly sight of garbage dumped on the roadside, solid waste thrown away at river banks, and landfills amassed with huge amount of rubbish. It is becoming more and more difficult for municipalities to manage solid waste in an efficient manner as urbanization and population has both increased.                                                                  Thirty years ago, it was not a big issue as Bhutan had no more than 600,000 people and more than half of the population lived in rural areas. Bhutanese imported few goods from the neighboring countries, mainly India. They produced almost everything in their own country, such as: milk, cheese, butter, rice, meat, wool, cotton, etc. But in recent years, Bhu...

My Opinion: Only Ada Rachu for Women

-
Kuensel published an article titled “only ada rachu for women” on 27 th April, which explicitly stated: “Women across the country will now have to wear only ada rachu on all occasions, according to a circular from the home ministry.” Since then, many (both men and women) have expressed their utter dislike and criticism for this new regulation. Here, I would like to take the opportunity to express my personal opinion on this subject, but first let’s break down all the points stated in the article – i.e. to say points made by dzongkhag cultural officers supporting this new regulation. Women are mandated to drape only ada rachus and not patterned rachus for uniformity and to preserve the tradition. As the eight lucky sign patterns was entitled only for Royal Family members, women should wear only ada rachu. In the past, common women wore ada rachus while only Royal Family members wore different patterned rachus that were more elegant. Many women prefer different pattern...

5 Habits You Must Strive For

-
We all know how important technical knowledge and intelligence are, but we always overlook the importance of our habits or character. If you have traveled in the East, you will find that most countries in that region value personality and character of a person more than intelligence. They appreciate kids respecting their parents, elders and strangers. They like raising their children with values instilled in them. They like to teach their children what they were taught by their parents, and they want their children to do the same. However, they also value the importance of technical knowledge gained from schools or universities, but they put more emphasis on social skills.     "85% of your financial success is due to your personality and ability to communicate, negotiate, and lead. Shockingly, only 15% is due to technical knowledge." -- Carnegie Institute of Technology.  Following are the habits you must strive for: 1. Respect It i...
