Avoid Fear and Uncomfortable Situations

noreply@blogger.com (Aniruddha Nandanwar) — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 06:43:00 +0000

It’s tough to walk into your boss’ office and demand a raise or go up to that hot girl in the party and introduce yourself. It’s frightening. You don’t know what will happen, and there’s a reasonable chance that you may not get the desired outcome. However, it is only through reaching outside of our comfort zone that we can begin to expand what is possible in our life. It’s the things we have to work for and take a risk to get that we treasure the most in life. Yes, you might experience the sting of rejection, but the courage needed for taking a chance will start to build, like any muscle that is exercised, and you’ll begin to become more bold and courageous in other things in life too.

Fear

noreply@blogger.com (Aniruddha Nandanwar) — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 12:38:00 +0000

What is your fear teaching you? Is there a hidden lesson inside your fear? Perhaps it is showing you a deeper part of yourself that you have not wanted to face until now.

Fear may seem scary but that is because we’ve put the label fear on it. If we remove the label, fear is just sensations and energy moving in your body. From that we make up our own conclusions and fuel it by creating horror stories of what has been and what might be.

Innovative "lucky coin" building under way in China

noreply@blogger.com (Aniruddha Nandanwar) — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 08:07:00 +0000

By this time next year, a walk along the Pearl River in Guangzhou, China, will come with an unusual bonus: a view of the completed Guangdong Plastics Exchange research center/warehouse. Far from being just another boxy building, this unique, 1 billion yuan (US$159 million) edifice is patterned after objects the Cantonese traditionally associate with luck and good fortune. One thing's for certain - at 138 meters (453 feet) in height, with a 47 meter (154 foot) diameter hole in the centre; this is one landmark that will be difficult to miss

"Procrastination" Tales Of Mere Existence

noreply@blogger.com (Aniruddha Nandanwar) — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 11:11:00 +0000

Know your Value....!

noreply@blogger.com (Aniruddha Nandanwar) — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 04:14:00 +0000

A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a Rupee 500 note. In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this Rupee 500 note?" Hands started going up.

He said, I am going to give this note to one of you but first let me do this." He proceeded to crumple he note up. He then asked, "Who still wants it?" Still the hands were up in the air.

"Well," he replied, "What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty. "Now who still wants it?" Still the hands went into the air.

"My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth Rupee 500/-. Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.

You are special. Don't ever forget it! Never let yesterday's disappointments overshadow tomorrow's dreams. “VALUE HAS A VALUE ONLY IF ITS VALUE IS VALUED”

West Coast Chill lays claim to title of "World's First Self-Chilling Beverage

noreply@blogger.com (Aniruddha Nandanwar) — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 17:40:00 +0000

Miller Beer may have announced its plans to do so several years ago, but now someone else is actually going through with it ... releasing a beverage in a self-chilling can, that is. At the end of the first quarter of this year, Joseph Company International will be launching its West Coast Chill all-natural energy drink, which will come in the company's patented Chill Can. When buyers press a tab on the can, the temperature of the liquid inside will decrease by 30ºF within three minutes.

Although details on the workings of the technology haven't been publicly released, the cooling process doesn't require any energy source, and is said to be environmentally innocuous. It should also be noted that the Chill Can is not related to the I.C. Can, which is what Miller was planning to use for its beer.

5 Reasons to Become an Early Riser

noreply@blogger.com (Aniruddha Nandanwar) — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 18:01:00 +0000

This post is taken from www.howtogetupearly.com by Amber Smith.

A lot of people find it difficult to wake up early in the morning, and indeed it takes much effort to become an early riser when you are used to be a night owl. When it comes to waking up early, it turns out to be very rewarding. These five reasons to get up early in the morning can give you needed motivation to become an early riser.

1. Health improvement
First of all, early rising is a fundamental part of healthy living. Human body was designed to function in harmony with nature. We are supposed to get up when the sun rises and go to sleep when the sun goes down. But how often we forget about that and stay up all night or sleep until noon. All these are bad habits that affect our health on a daily basis. We should remember about the Mother Nature's original plan and wake up early.
Of course, it is not easy to make drastic changes in your sleep schedule, and it can be stressful too. So, you should start waking up a little earlier every day. Making it a routine and never sleeping in will help you succeed. This way you will be able to build a strong habit of getting up early.

2. Time management
Start getting up early every day and soon you will notice that you have turned into a totally different person, more confident and productive. Along with the right morning routine, early rising will pay you back with an energy boost for the rest of the day. Get out of bed as soon as the alarm rings. Avoid the snooze button, now it is your worst enemy. Always have time to take a contrast shower, if for some reason you are being late, make sure to at least wash up alternating warm and cold water. Have your morning coffee and head to work. Now you are ready for new achievements.

3. Dreams come true
Everyone has something he always wanted to do but never had time for. By waking up early you can find a few hours of free time to fulfill your dreams. You can start learning foreign languages, writing your own blog, or practicing your hobby from high school that you never had time for. Remember how fun and joyful it can be to do something for yourself.

4. Live today
Now think of the things that you need to do but you set aside until the last moment. These things can also be done during the morning hours. Put on a few extra pounds and plan to join the gym tomorrow? But how often does tomorrow turn into never? Spend your morning working out and soon you will be back in shape. If you don't like the idea of joining the gym, find something you would like more. Get a dog and walk him out every morning. Walking in fresh air is very good for your health too.
If you have kids and never have time for cleaning, spend your morning hours on that while the kids are still asleep. Don't set aside these routine things, do them today and you will have less to worry about.

5. Everything counts
Think of every single thing you get out of waking up early even if it's a little one. Do you like to drive to work avoiding morning traffic? Or maybe you enjoy watching the sunrise? The best morning coffee in a city can be a real reward for coffee lovers. There are so many great things around us. Just wake up early not to miss them!

Parasites

noreply@blogger.com (Aniruddha Nandanwar) — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 18:06:00 +0000

There are people who are so dependent on others that they think it is their right to suck. They keep doing it unknowingly at the cost of others. One can find such type of individual in every organization and team. Worst happens, when these individuals are at leadership position and their decisions plays critical role in success of company.

Recently one of my friend was sent to a construction site located out station. Site was 35 km from his hotel. Since there was no onsite office, my friend decided not to carry his laptop. When he reached on site and just started his work, his boss called him and asked him to send a quotation to one of their customer on ASAP basis. He told his boss that he is not carrying his laptop and he can send it only in evening after returning to hotel. But boss told him, that it was urgent and he must send it within an hour- ego comes into picture.

My friend request his boss that since his other team members are in office, he can ask them to send quotation. But his boss was not in mood to listen. Either his boss did not have confidence in other or want to trouble him. After few hot exchanges on phone my friend agreed to return to hotel and send the quotation. He took taxi went to hotel, submitted the quotation and come back to site again.

After submission of quotation thru mail, my friend called his customer to confirm whether they have received quotation or not? On which customer informed him that he has not seen the mail and since tomorrow is republic day he can go through quotation only day after tomorrow.

What did company achieved?
1) Taxi bills
2) Time loss
3) Employees frustration

Be careful while changing traveling plan on last moment and plan & use juniors efficiently.

Coldest day of winter

noreply@blogger.com (Aniruddha Nandanwar) — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 18:04:00 +0000

Delhiites shivered today as the maximum temperature plummeted to 14 degree Celsius, making it the coldest day of this winter.

Icy winds blew across the city and overnight rains added to the chill in the morning hours. Fog also returned to the national capital as the mercury dropped overnight after 2 days of clear sky gave relief to old persons.

It was a foggy night in Delhi with the visibility falling below 50 meters at one point. The capital also recorded a rainfall of 0.5 mm during the night.

Rains had lashed the city over the past two days and were attributed to a western disturbance.

The Met department has predicted a downward trend for the mercury for the next two days when the minimum is likely to fall to as low as six degrees.

Boiled Frog

noreply@blogger.com (Aniruddha Nandanwar) — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 08:22:00 +0000

They say that if you put a frog into a pot of boiling water, it will leap out right away to escape the danger

But, if you put a frog in a kettle that is filled with water that is cool and pleasant, and then you gradually heat the kettle until it starts boiling, the frog will not become aware of the threat until it is too late.

The frog's survival instincts are geared towards detecting sudden changes.

This is a story that is used to illustrate how people might get themselves into terrible trouble.

This parable is often used to illustrate how humans have to be careful to watch slowly changing trends in the environment, not just the sudden changes. Its a warning to keep us paying attention not just to obvious threats but to more slowly developing ones.

A turn of the screw

noreply@blogger.com (Aniruddha Nandanwar) — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 12:07:00 +0000

There was an industrialist whose production line inexplicably breaks down, costing him millions per day. He finally tracks down an expert who takes out a screwdriver, turns one screw, and then - as the factory cranks back to life - presents a bill for £10,000. Affronted, the factory owner demands an itemised version. The expert is happy to oblige: "For turning a screw: £1. For knowing which screw to turn: £9,999."

Journaling - Habit for self improvement

noreply@blogger.com (Aniruddha Nandanwar) — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 06:15:00 +0000

This is one of the most important habits to build for yourself improvement. There are at least three reasons why journaling is important:

It makes you find the lessons behind every experience

Perhaps this is not the case in the beginning, but once you make journaling a habit, your mind will automatically explore every possible lesson in your experiences. Rather than just being a passing event, every experience becomes a learning opportunity.

It encourages you to think through the lessons you learn

Journaling involves writing down the lessons you learn. To do that, you will have to get the gist of the lesson and put it in a concise form. That encourages you to think through the lesson so that you can truly get it. This will make the lesson sinks deeper into your mind and heart.

It helps you remember the lessons

First, the act of writing itself helps you remember the lesson. And second, your journal becomes a place that you can refer to in case you forgot the lesson.

As you can see, journaling is good for yourself improvement, not just for the end product but also for the process itself. So, if you haven’t done so, make journaling a habit of yours this year.

WakaWaka solar LED lamp

noreply@blogger.com (Aniruddha Nandanwar) — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 19:03:00 +0000

Although we have entered 2012 approximately 1.5 billion people around the globe remain without access to a stable or safe source of light. Commonly in some of the world's poorest regions, kerosene lanterns are the standard form of night time lighting, which leads to the possibility of fires, explosions, asphyxiation and toxic fumes. Cheap, accessible solar lighting presents an obvious solution to this problem and the latest tilt at making this a reality is WakaWaka - a solar LED lamp concept that can fit snuggly onto a soda bottle.

WakaWaka lamp is a solar charged, portable LED lamp that hopes to hit the market with a low US$10 price tag, which is the equivalent of 2-3 months worth of toxic kerosene fuel. Unlike its competitors, the WakaWaka promises to provide 16 hours of light from one day of solar charge. Solar Pebble comes close with 12 hours of light but the others fall behind with only 4-6 hours of usage time.

The two minute rule

noreply@blogger.com (Aniruddha Nandanwar) — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 07:29:00 +0000

Everyone has to deal with interruptions to their work, especially when you’re working at a computer with email constantly pinging into your in box. In his book Getting Things Done, David Allen suggests a simple rule for interruptions: if it can be done in two minutes, do it now. If not, write it down in your notebook and forget about it. Later on in the day, you can go through your notebook and actually allocate some time to all the items you’ve collected throughout the day.
