  Introduction: The Double-Edged Sword of Perfectionism Imagine this: You’ve just completed a project at work, nailed a presentation, or finally perfected your morning routine. But instead of celebrating, you feel a hollow ache.  Was it really good enough? Could I have done more?  If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Perfectionism, often praised as a hallmark of high achievers, has a dark side—one that clinical psychologist  Dr. Ellen Hendriksen  unpacks in her ground-breaking book,  How to Be Enough . Let's explore why perfectionism can leave us feeling isolated, anxious, and never-quite-enough—and how to reclaim self-acceptance. The Healthy Heart of Perfectionism Perfectionism isn’t inherently toxic. At its core lies  conscientiousness( विवेकशीलता ) —the drive to be diligent, responsible, and thorough. Research shows this trait is the strongest predictor of success in life. Think of the student who earns top grades, the athlete who trains relen...

We’ve all been there—desperately reaching out to strangers, hoping that one of them will be kind enough to vouch for us and help us land that perfect job. But let’s face it: It’s not working. Seriously, think about it for a second. Would you  trust for someone you’ve never met before? Probably not. And that’s okay! Because here’s the reality: when you ask someone to refer you without building a relationship first, you’re asking them to put their reputation on the line for someone they don’t know. That’s a big ask, and it’s likely going to fall flat. So, what does work when it comes to getting referrals that actually land you a job? Let’s break it down. 1. Tap Into Your Existing Network Forget cold emailing strangers or randomly reaching out to people you’ve never interacted with. Start with the people who already know you and your work ethic—your existing network. Think former colleagues, classmates, or even that barista at your local coffee shop who remembers your complicate...

  Cervical cancer, a disease that develops in the cervix—the entrance to the uterus—continues to be a major public health concern, affecting hundreds of thousands of women worldwide. In fact, cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women globally. Yet, despite its prevalence, we have the tools and strategies necessary to eliminate it as a public health problem. The Link Between HPV and Cervical Cancer Almost all cases of cervical cancer—99%, to be exact—are caused by infection with high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPV). This common virus is transmitted through sexual contact and, while most HPV infections resolve on their own without causing harm, persistent infection can lead to cervical cancer over time. Cervical cancer remains a leading cause of death among women, particularly in low- and middle-income countries where access to screening and treatment is limited. In 2022, an estimated 660,000 women were diagnosed with cervical cancer, and approximately 350,000 women...

In today’s fast-paced world, the greed of pursuing an MBA while continuing a full-time job has made distance education a popular choice for many professionals. The flexibility of online learning, combined with the promise of career advancement, makes it seem like a perfect fit. But what happens when the reality doesn’t align with the promises?

My friends and I climbed to the top of Dharan Clock Tower this Tuesday. Here are some glimpses of mine epic ascent to the summit 😂😂 The Dharan Clock Tower is located in Bhanu Chowk, Dharan, Nepal. Constructed as part of the city's twenty-year plan, the tower cost NPR 5,639,000. The financial support was provided by The Dharan Hong Kong Manch, a forum of Nepal immigrants (mainly from Dharan) residing in Hong Kong and Mac. The tower was opened to the public in 2062 BS (2005-2006). The design of the tower is inspired by the Clock Tower in Hong Kong. It stands at 76.5 feet tall and has five stories. At the top, there is an observation platform that can accommodate around 50 people at a time, offering a panoramic view of the city. Additionally, a memorial has been constructed around the tower to honor the victims of the 1988 Nepal earthquake (2045 BS (1988-1989)). We visited there but forgot to take the photo of clock tower 😂😂. By the way, you can easily access the image of tower by...

  यदि म कुनै कुरामा गर्व गर्छु भने त्यो मेरै बारेमा हो र ती सबैको बारेमा  नि जो म जस्तै संघर्षको यात्रामा छन्। हामी सबैमा एउटा तथ्य समान छ, त्यो हो हामीले गर्ने कोसिस। हामी बिहान ओछ्यानबाट उठ्न भरपुर कोसिस गर्छौं चाहे ओछ्यानले जति सुकै gravityभन्दा बढी बल अर्थात् हामीलाई निद्राले नछोड्दा होस्। हामी बाहिर निस्कँदा धेरै मेहेनत राम्रो र चिटिक्क परेको लुगा लगाउन निकै कोसिस गर्छौं चाहे सेन्डो र कट्टुमा बस्न जति सुकै आनन्द मिलोस्। हामीलाई एकान्त र एक्लो हुँदा आनन्द हुन्छ तर पनि हामी समाजमा खुलेर घुलमिल हुने कोसिस गर्छौं। हामी संसारी र सामाजिक दुनियाँमा घुलमिल हुन जतिसुकै समयको बरबादी ठाने पनि हामी त्यसमा घुलमिल भएर रमाउने  कोसिस गर्छौं। 

स्वस्थ प्रतिरोधात्मक शक्तिले कोभिड १९, रुँघा, मर्की र अन्य रोगबाट टाढा राख्दछ। अभिभावकहरु प्राय: अलमलमै हुन्छन्, आफ्नो सन्तानलाई स्वस्थ कसरी बनाइराख्ने भनेर। के साँच्चै रोगहरूसँग लड्नका लागि रोग प्रतिरोधात्मक शक्ति बढाउन सकिन्छ त?  उत्तर हो सकिन्छ, तर संसारमा त्यस्तो कुनै जादुको छडी वा जादुले बनेको दबाइ छैन जसले त्यस्तो काम गर्न सकोस्। सबैभन्दा उत्तम उपाय वा दबाई भनेको ससाना कुराहरूमा ध्यान दिनु नै हो।  म तपाईँहरूलाई आफ्नो बच्चा कसरी स्वस्थ राख्ने भनेर उपाय सुझाउन चाहन्छु। मैले मिती २०८१ साल असोज ६ गते इन्टरनेटको माध्यमबाट थाहा पाएका जानकारीहरू तपाईँ माझ साझा गर्दैछु। निम्न लिखित कुराहरू मैले जाँचबुझ गरेर वास्तवमै सही छन् भनेर ठहराएतापनि यी कुराहरु तपाईंले आफ्नो जीवनमा लागु गर्दा केही नकारात्मक असर पुग्यो भने म जिम्मेवार हुने छैन। (क) उनीहरूलाई स्वस्थ आहार दिनु  स्वस्थ भन्नाले म यस्तो आहार भन्न खोज्दैछु जसमा धेरै फलफुलहरू र सागसब्जी हुन्छन्। कम्तिमा दिनको पाँचपटक दिने गर्नुस्। यी पाँचपटक मध्ये बिहान र बेलुका खाना खाँदा खानाको ५०% फलफुल र साग सब...

सफल हुनलाई संसारमा त्यस्तो कुनै अद्भुत र सटिक सुत्र छैन। तपाईंले सफल हुन कुनै पनि क्षेत्रमा, सुरुवात गर्न आवश्यक हुन्छ। सुरुवात जेबाट पनि हुन सक्छ। सुरु चाहिँ गर्नुपर्यो त्यसपछि त्यसमा एकचित्त भएर लागिपर्नुपरो। मैले प्राय: सुन्दै आएको सवाल हो, छिटो सफल कसरी हुने? र मलाई लाग्छ त्यसको जवाफ निकै सरल छ - काम गर्न सुरु गर्नुपर्छ। गरेको गरै गर्नुपर्छ। काम चाहिँ थाल्नुपर्छ, किनभने कतिपय समय मा हामी त्यो/यो काम सक्दैनौँ की भनेर काम टाल्ने तिर लाग्छौँ र असफल हुन्छौँ।

मेरो भाइलाई जन्मदिनको धेरै धेरै शुभकामना ❤️🎂🎉
