Spreading Positivity

  || WE HAVE ONE LIFE ||   All these years in the universe, the sun rises in the morning and sets at night. The moon rises to remove darkness and vanishes once the bright sun rises again. The day ends, night comes, and after the night, another day arises. Plants grow; they lose their leaves and grow again. The weather keeps changing to balance the air in the atmosphere. We have gods and goddesses who are worshipped, and we also have devils around us. Gods and goddesses do their best to make them vanish from society.

|| Do Good Things and Talk About It || What a positive statement I have ever heard! I was fortunate to attend the World Hearing Forum, which recently took place at the WHO headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland. There were over 150 participants from 70 countries, representing stakeholders working towards promoting healthy hearing in their respective countries. The attendees, comprising government officials, representatives of various organizations, institutions, and non-profit organizations, engaged in numerous group activities to exchange information. During the forum, we were tasked with brainstorming the best ways to create awareness among the public so that more people could benefit. Many participants shared insights, and one hearing-impaired individual in a group discussion mentioned an inspiring statement: 'We have all overcome the challenges of our lives, and with the scientific revolution, we now have numerous solutions available to address hearing issues. Good things are happ...
