SHORT...............CUTS

SHORTCUTS
Might be familiar with this topic, hope so! In order to complete our work faster and ahead of others we do use the short cut keys, don’t we? Therefore computers have made our work easier indeed.
Strolling down the street on a calm cool day, suddenly from somewhere there is a traffic jam across the street where the vehicles are moving at a snail pace. Immediately the advantageous two wheeler do take the shortcuts through the narrow gaps in front of other vehicles. Some of them pass on through the footpaths unaware of the fact that sometime they might be caught unaware of what lies in front of them. Copying in the exam is another shortcut which some students do employ as they are afraid that they may not be able to cope with others and they are also afraid that they would receive a good scolding from their parents. Bribing officials is another shortcut employed by many to complete their work faster.
In terms of achieving love and acquiring huge money people do use shortcuts which maybe through fair or unfair means to achieve what they had hoped for. Similarly a pack of cigarettes is a shortcut to cancer. Consumption of drinks, too much of which leads to is the shortcut to death.
Do we need these shortcuts in our daily life? Is there any shortcut to happiness? Never! Money and power does it bring in happiness? Love, affection, compassion and service to mankind leads to real happiness and which stays with you for long but not money!
When a baby enters into this world, he or she has an ‘innocent’ smile on her face unaware of the hurdles which lie in front of it. But afterwards this ‘smile’ vanishes. Is it not our duty to keep them smiling forever? Look around and you will find the people living below the poverty line are a happy lot come what may! We find in them a bright lit face and a smile always on their faces.
Money does not travel a long way but a smile does travel a long way. Therefore keep smiling everyday for it does not cost you anything it is free!
