In today's fast-paced life, how do we react with people, how do we converse with them all these determine many things including what we are and what we want to become, says a new self book 'Life Lingua' penned by bureaucrat Saumitra Mohan.
Our interaction with each of them should be measured and customized accordingly. One wrong move somewhere and many things in one's life may go awry. That is why, every time we meet someone, we are always thinking, modifying our reactions and behaviour as per the specifications and requirements of the relationship we are entering into, says the book which was released by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee at the Kolkata Book Fair yesterday.
The human being grows up to conduct oneself in a particular way, depending on his/her educational, cultural and social background. But notwithstanding the same background, people still behave differently which may have something to do with our genetic make-up, which makes each of us unique.
That's why, you have persons of different dispositions and deportments in the same family. Whatever be the natural selection of God or the deliberate grooming of a person to mould his/her entire personality in a particular way, things still turn out to be diametrically opposite because of the different experiences one undergoes.
However, one does believe that with a dedication and determination, one can definitely do and achieve that one has desired. A man has to just desire and set one's eyes and attention to that particular goal and then go after the same in a methodical manner and soon the goal shall be within the reach. Same goes for any and every aspect of our life.
There is nothing in life that can't be fixed or achieve. We just need to have in ourselves all the requisites that are required. If we have a positive approach, a steely determination and a capacity for sustained hard work, we shall definitely achieve our deserved place in the sun.
"The book Life Lingua: Learning the Grammar of Life is a book on 'self-development and interpersonal relationships'. It is a distillation of my own personal experience and convictions, interspersed with the suitable popular quotations and anecdotes, culled from different sources, to support and corroborate whatever I have said in the book," says Mohan was is the District Magistrate of Burdwan.
"While reading this book, you may find some contradictions unless you read the same in their true perspectives. I would not flinch from saying that the imperfections of this book are actually a reflection of my own imperfections. So, I would request the reader to enjoy the observations keeping the same in mind," Mohan said.
