Image
  When we were kids, we were told by our parents, teachers, friends, and relatives that Schools, private coaching’s and libraries were the best places to learn but it was not their fault that’s how they used to learn. There were many ways through which we used to gain knowledge by attending classes, lectures, self-study, and going to tuitions. In fact, the best way to learn new things is Group study with your buddies. Then came the internet in the late ’90s and mobile phones, however, the majority of people used the internet for unproductive activities and cell phones for calling their friends and relatives only, not many people were aware of a lot of things back then.

Mindfulness: Spirituality makes us become more mindful. Mindfulness means being fully aware of everything that we do in this present moment and become less judgmental. 2.

Life Management: Spirituality helps us to become more mindful of everything including ours and other's time. It helps in living a responsible a...
