Is history a mystery? Yes history is indeed mystery for those who don't know about the history. History is very interesting subject but unfortunately only few of us read history. In a wider sense reading history is essential for every human being. As everyone knows about his/her family i.e., his father and mother and ethnicity, so everyone should know about the history of human; that is from where we have come and how we have been able to make tremendous success and development over a period of centuries.

I was watching a movie inception and in that film, the writer described that when we are in a dream, we don't know the starting of a dream every time we end up in the middle of some situation, and that is true. It is true in real life as well; we don't have any memory about our origin and our first few years in this world. So we all kind of ended up in the middle of some situation. So are we all in a dream? According to that concept, in a dream we have to die in order to wake up from a dream, will any of us try to shoot him / her to wake up from this dream? It sounds crazy; but looking at it from religious point of view, it is true.

There is a concept of life after death i.e., there is a life after this life where there would be heaven and hell and people will go there after their demise, those who do good deeds will go to heaven and those who do bad deeds will suffer in hell. So we can say that this life is a big dream and reality will struck when we die, and the dreams we see in night are actually dreams within a dream.

Reading history is so important because through studying history, we can know more about ourselves i.e., from where we have come and how we have evolved to a civilized society. Study of history makes us more aware of ourselves, by studying history, we can know more about the advancement man has made and it also gives us inspiration to do more and achieve more.

Today we study novels with interest and we get involved as if it is happening in front of us, we read novels with interest because the stories in them are very exciting and have some great characters. But these characters and stories are not real.

You would be surprised to find that history books are more interesting than the novels; this is because in history books there are interesting stories and great characters and these are all real. These books are more interesting than novels because by reading these books we know that the stories and characters we are reading are real and the facts are real as well so we can get real inspiration from these books.

There are many famous personalities in history who have revolutionized the world and brought much advancement in the fields of science, politics and arts. By reading their biographies, we can get real inspiration and bring positive changes in our life.

Hope Quotes

AppId is over the quota

There is nothing like hope quotes to bring us away from the brink of despair in the midst of tragedy or depressing times. That is the idea (sort of) behind this man's book, though I think that his hope is of too much of a political slant and not enough of true hope for the world. To me true hope cannot be brought by the hope quotes of a political party or political opinion, or even by a great political philosopher. If it could, then wouldn't the hope quotes of the many, many politicians of this world's history have changed the world to a much better one than what we have now. Of course, on that logic one could argue that without the hope quotes that have already been given the world that it would be a much worse place, but that is a philosophical argument for another day.

While I understand the importance that politics have played in the history of both our culture and country and the world at large, and certainly hope quotes have been important, I feel that it would take something more than what everybody is already doing and relying on to change the world from the path that it is headed down to one that is more promising, more enlightening, and better for us all.

Perhaps part of that is because there has been left much room to doubt the authenticity of many of the world's hope quotes. While I don't doubt the sincerity of the hope quotes of most of the great thinkers, writers, and speakers of both our age and all previous ones, one can't help but wonder at times whether these hope quotes are inspired purely by a desire to be of use to one's people and to the world, or whether they are inspired by a fear of being obliterated by history's passing after one's death and the subsequent urge to prolifically create and share as many of these quotes as possible in the hope that the more one puts out there the longer one's memory will live in the hearts, minds, and historical annals of the people. Often, it seems, contributions to society originate in a weak human grasp at immortality.

Perhaps instead of pursuing immortality through personal history, like becoming famous, writing popular books, or single-handedly raising and destroying governments, we ought instead to be pursuing this eternal effect on the world by learning how to live and love appropriately. Perhaps by leaving an indelible legacy of love on the lives of those we touch during our brief existence we can mold them to do the same. Perhaps our own little words and actions of love can be the quotes that change the world. Not in a big, glamorous way, but in the way a thousand individual grains of rice pile together to tip the scale in their direction.
