Should we change our measurement of development?

Most of the world leaders have said that the youth of any country decides where the country will be in the next ten years. Youth power makes their country strong from inside. If the youth is awake then country is awake. Youth power can push all the boundaries, no chain can stop them. Because they are fearless, brave and most important focused. Every country's youth power decides where this country will stand. 
   The reason that I am writing this is that I want to change some convention in the world. The measurement of development, those who don't know about how we calculate the development process let me tell you some methods. All of this measurement are based on average of a handful data, and they calculate it then for creating some bigger data. I have read a book of sir Abdul Kalam , here is how he had explained the development process, -
"What makes a country developed? The obvious indicators are the wealth of the nation, the prosperity of its people and its standing in the international forum. There are many indicators regarding the wealth of a nation: the gross national product (GNP), the gross domestic product (GDP), the balance of payments, foreign exchange reserves, rate of economics growth, per capita income, etc. In addition, the volume of trade, the share in international trade(both imports and exports)and rate of growth in both of these also provides an idea about the strength of economy and its ability to sustain the wealth created and to create more .Economic indicators are important, but they provide only a part of the picture, The numbers, impressive though they may appear, can veil considerable human misery, especially that of the common people, in this context, I and rajan have often discussed something I observed during my stint at the defence research & development laboratory(DRDL), hyderabad. I came across three persons there who became in my mind points of reference that called me back unceasingly to certain issues. Venkat had two sons and a daughter. All were graduates and employed. Living in the same area was kuppu who had tree sons. He succeeded in educating oniy one. He lived in a rented dwelling.Karuppan had two daughters and one son. He was semi employed. Could not educate any of them because of poverty, and had no regular dwelling place. Was it not possible for him to merely give a normal life to his offspring and not an unrealistic or extraordinary one? A reasonable lifespan, an occupation that would provide them basic comforts and good health care? This is our dream of a developed India."

So I think we should leave the old measurements and should start viewing world on a different scale. Let me give you a small example of average system flaw,-
Presume that there are ten person in the city. If the average of their wealth is a million, what do you think how much money each of them would have. 1 Million * 10 = ten million. Is that seems right, no its not. There can be five very poor or middle class, maybe the other five who are rich can have more than a million. So this is the problem of the average it gives you appropriate statics but never gives you precise results. We are still aware of GDP and GTP, while there are still some poor in our city who cannot eat properly.
                           For our current government they are working nice in both direction. I hope they will be able to fill the gap between poor and rich and also grow our development at the same time .

Wallflower's Diary 1

I like people laughing. I like people smiling. I like everyone around me to stay happy. It bothers me most of time when I see anyone struggling with their fate. Usually its hard to keep everyone happy. But It is possible to keep them satisfied. satisfy every one by truth and right that's what I think is an easy task to do.                      It become easy to stay happy when you attach your happiness with others. Then not only you , but everyone around you will help you to keep you happy, cause they will work for keeping themselves happy. World would have a better place without jealousy , money , greed . We all know this still we are unable to detach ourselves with these things. Anyway never stop hoping. Cause that is the only tool we got to face uncertainty of world. We all knows that money is not going to help us fighting with our future problems. May be for a while money will work , but later we need people to help us. Its necessary to be that way. Helping way.            

Activity that connect me with life

I guess, it's a very large topic for me. I would start to explain how anything connect me to life , I can write so many 400 pages books on it. Each activity connect us to the life, but the question is which one connect you more depth. Which one take you to peak of happiness. So I think the topic should be named " One activity that separate you from your life. One Activity that takes your mind away from everything that is connected to the life." When you feel that you don't belong to this world anymore. I think that kind of activity we should  discuss.                                               Well now as I mentioned that each activity made by me connect me with life. I want to explain how, and this answer will answer the other question too. In simple words, I am going to answer two of the questions simultaneously. 1- One activity that connect you to the life?. 2- One activity that takes you away from the world and life?.                                        

StartUP

                                               StartUP Here I am Nitin Tiwari again for sharing some of my experience. Well for your kind information I am not that much experienced. I am just 19 years old but as Steve Jobs Sir says that age is irrelevant to experience. You gain experience by mistakes and events you encountered. And age is a thing you cannot control it will keep running until death will put a full stop at the end.                                                                             So this time I am thinking about my start up. I haven't started up yet. I am working under my father right now. But now I do 30 percent of his work, like i look after his shop and his deals of contracts. His PO's and quotations and many more. But I am thinking about starting something my own.                                               As every new young gun feel when he start , I am also very much scared. But It has been my theory to stay scared and nervous, that mea
