Proverbs,
thoughts, quotes, phrases– as necessary elements that teach, yet make use of
fewer words, each of these have been attached with our lives since good, old
times. Though language may differ, accent may vary and dialect may show
different shades, these proverbs and thoughts convey the same message to each
one alike. Focusing on an essential thought and prompting us towards its
significance till the end of time, these proverbs certainly play an essential
role. As ever-green factors that can never fade away, understanding the meaning
behind these thoughts can color our lives with beautiful shades. While
appreciating their significance and incorporating them in our course of life,
we realize their true role.
While the phase
of childhood showers us with these proverbs through parents, schools, teachers
and curriculum, contemplation of their real meaning is only possible along the
real course of living. What enters into our minds as compulsory words soon take
the form of valuable lessons, as we realize their impact in our daily lives. Diverse
experiences, varied adventures and wide array of encounters train us for the
challenge called life. As we walk along the path and attempt to fit into the
frame, these proverbs seem to add their own share. Transferring from books to
realities, they radiate their charm all around.
While pondering
about the endless list of these proverbs and thoughts, the blogger in me was
tempted to revisit the proverbial world. Filled with proverbs that inspired our
lives, motivated us in one way or the other, stayed with us to convey their
meaning and ensured valuable touch to our living, this walk will take us
towards the days of the past. As we move from one interesting proverb to the
other, I hope to activate some past memories and ignite the further course.
So, whether you
have heard these thoughts on numerous occasions or whether you are experiencing
their magic in close proximity for the first time, gear up for an exciting
journey ahead!
Halt 1: Necessity is
the mother of invention
A proverb that
can relate with each one of us at some point in our journey of life, necessity
certainly gives way to new ideas and newer plans. A strong foundation of
inventions, discoveries, innovations and novelties, necessity has given birth
to every possible novel aspect that we enjoy today. Though the word ‘invention’
may sound as a break-through innovation or a life changing creation, it can be
equated to any simple experience of daily life.
Change in
circumstances, situations, experiences or encounters can force us to adjust our
daily course of routine life, giving rise to newer adventures. While fitting in
the frame of life with new specifications and measurements, we are prompted to
innovate and invent.
A thought that
enlightens us about the value of adjustments, necessity is the fuel that adds
power to our ideas. By forcing us to think about new actions, thoughts and
aspects, our needs form the primary support of every novel task. An extremely
essential factor that motivates us to enjoy living, necessity ensures
consistent change and continuous improvement. Taking us away from the boredom
of stagnancy, necessity keeps us on our toes. By opening doors to novelties,
needs drive the desire to form, create and construct. Though we all can invest
our efforts and resources towards creations and innovations, basic human
instinct relies on the basis of ‘necessity’. Unless we need something, we do
not engage in experiments or attempts towards creating it.
A recent close
encounter with this thought gave way to the idea of the post. By learning and
utilizing new factors that were ignored quite often, I realized that need is
the most powerful fuel to start, sustain and stabilize. Impacting and
influencing our life in one way or the other, necessity ensures progress,
development, improvement and success.
By entering our journey during simple
acts and simpler encounters, we come across its daily relevance along the path
of life. We will be surprised to realize that every aspect around us takes
birth from the womb of need. From household value to commercial importance,
from technological utilities to luxurious trends, every domain celebrates the
essence of necessity. A universal element for each one alike, necessity is
truly the mother of invention.
What are your experiences with this thought? Do you believe
in the reality of this proverb or consider it as yet another literary work?
Hope you enjoyed this halt at the proverbial park, while we
continue our stroll ahead!
