Here the "human being" is the object under consideration, so we can re-define stress as the "tension exerted on the human mind"<o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-family: inherit;">Is stress bad? No, absolutely not. Stress is what compelled human being to set goals, chase dreams and achieve success. Stress is what helped the evolution of the present day man, had there been no stress, there would be no invention.<o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-family: inherit;">How is stress caused? Its the mindset that we would fail on something, its the mindset that we wont achieve a target on a particular mind, its the mindset that we would run out of business in 90 days.<o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-family: inherit;">If we let the footballers play the entire day they would score less number of goals they would have if we restricted them for 90 minutes. Reason? Its because every player is stressed to score within 90 minutes or else they perish.<o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi5qO-aVFoTxgnjNX8_SOQi8b4dLQYZJfB7qhqn2f2d9d8O-htOhLLT__vWa-F2slp7_cC5vVsXZ9kNQx3tRRxM0nbOk2UNMVKp9jcF0RONj6WrrbCKxHRbyMqn1cbsssvdPkFxNQsNW8/s275/images.jpg"><span style="color: blue; mso-no-proof: yes; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;"></span></a>So, it all starts with a dream. Dream is a statement that we will achieve something. When we fix boundary dates for the dream, it becomes a goal. Now stress is something that pushes us to work to achieve the goal. The more the stress, the better we get finding easier methods to achieve the goal. The more the stress, better we become at innovation.<o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-family: inherit;">If you are a highly stressed person, its a good sign. Its an indication that you are pressed hard to find a solution in a short time. There are only 2 outcomes to this situation. Option A - you perish and Option B - you come out successful. We dont want you to perish, we want you to solve the problem, to come out as a better person.<o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-family: inherit;">Now this requires more study, we need to sit with ourselves to find what desire burns us, what puts us into trouble. The toughest part is to analyse the root cause of the problem, once you have done that - solution becomes much easier.<o:p></o:p></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div> <div class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-family: inherit;">If i tell stress pushes up the rung of the ladder, its not wrong. If you have solved a problem, you gain more confidence, your appetite grows for a bigger problem and you grow. So what pushes you is what worries you, solve it and get ahead.<o:p></o:p></span></div> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> <div class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div> <div style="background-color: white; color: #212121; line-height: 13.63636302947998px;"> <table class="vk_txt ts" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-size: small !important; margin-top: 20px; text-align: justify;"><tbody> <tr><td style="padding: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></td></tr> </tbody></table> </div>  </article> <article> <h1>The fire in us is dying...</h1> <p>noreply@blogger.com (balu) — Sun, 23 May 2010 17:25:00 +0000</p> Ever felt the fire in us is not staying as long as it is expected? Ever felt we quit digging 3 feet from gold? Ever felt the grass is green on the other side of valley? <br /> <br /> My life is full with these questions. My mind is like a pendulum that swings from one desire to another, and by making sure, I just don’t stand to achieve them. This is just the feeling that can happen to any one of you? We are all creatures that live in the past and live on memories.. We just feel our past was better than present, and we worry our future will not be as bright as our past.<br /> <br /> You seen the new add of Maruti Ritz car? just the same is true with our lives, we got choices - but we end up selecting a compromise. The patterns of thoughts that go through us are also the same, just as i was thinking - to stay in job or to build the business? to buy some land or get a new car ? To travel abroad or stay with family? go out selling or watch TV ? <br /> <br /> The truth is, even if we know what’s best for us, we refrain from doing it, because of the fear we have. I can tell you, I have been the laziest boy for the last 4 months or so, going to office and coming back home, doing nothing that my mind speaks off, I had the time for all the things in the world, I just did not want to blog as well. For a moment I thought whether the fire in me is dying???<br /> <br /> I am quite sure, people who have made places are the ones who have controlled this emotion very well and knew how to dust the butt and move on.. I now realize how foolish was I to waste my time doing useless things and bore my brains...<br /> <br /> Its when your goals are bringing fruit to you alone that you tend to become lazy. The smarter way to get rid of this is to ensure the end product of your goals is service to other people - so you can’t stop working. I am of the impression that you don’t remain stagnant anywhere, either you advance or you recede. So if you are doing nothing for the position you are holding now, it means you are gradually wiping yourselves out.<br /> <br /> The only way to keep the fire in you flaming is to add more oil into it. We need to reach out to the next opportunity that comes our way. Take up all the tasks we got, work as hard as ever, because we never know - a small little work can give us a huge opening that can change the way people see things.<br /> <br /> Sometimes I feel, the greatest oil that I had to move forward was the ridicule and put down I used to get from my friends. Guess what, it was too in a <a href="http://viswaram.blogspot.com/2010/03/most-things-in-life-falls-in-cycle.html">magic circle</a>, that when I stopped doing things, my friends stopped teasing me and it led to kill my fire. Now that I need to ignite my fire, because I am pretty sure, my fire is going to warm many a lives.... </article> <article> <h1>Most things in life falls in a cycle.. either you keep gaining or you keep losing..</h1> <p>noreply@blogger.com (balu) — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 17:50:00 +0000</p> <div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Not just wealth, but almost all things in life falls in a cycle. God has made things in a special way so that if we try to create an imbalance on any attribute, it reflects in some other attribute. Considering this aspect, we can form a perspective which is good or bad.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Now how can we define a cycle :- it is something that is connected by a chain, but something that keeps spiraling. Life's cycle is not a closed entity - its a spiral i.e. if you start gaining then you have a better chance to keep gaining. Similarly the vice verse.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Lets take the case of hunger and weight gain. What we naturally see is that people who are obese keep gaining in weight and people who are lean keep loosing weight. How can this theory be explained? Any idea? Simple when you are hungry -> you eat food -> stomach digests the food -> Energy is released to the body.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">When hungry and you overeat, then the stomach buys in resources to digest the extra food resulting in a bigger stomach and extended intestine. Now what happens is that when the stomach gets bigger it tempts the person to consume more food, and as he consumes the stomach keeps expanding. This is why people who are in the cycle of gaining weight keep gaining. Similarly you can think of what must be going around with lean people.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Not just food and stomach, almost all things in life goes to the person who has already achieved them. Be it money, recognition, fame, promotion in job and even the negatives like accident, loss, theft, bad times etc. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">When you know the working of this cycle and the <a href="http://viswaram.blogspot.com/2008/11/super-conscious-mindand-its-ability-to.html">mantra </a>to change the spiral you can succeed no matter what odds are against you.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Darkness cannot be broken by removing darkness, Sadness cannot be relieved by being less sad and <a href="http://viswaram.blogspot.com/2009/09/and-people-say-i-am-greedy.html">Poverty</a> cannot be alleviated being less broke. To break the cycle you need to apply yourselves with energy that can help you <a href="http://viswaram.blogspot.com/2008/11/super-conscious-mindand-its-ability-to.html">change states</a>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Rich gets richer and poor gets poorer. If the poor person has to become less poor - then he definitely need to get rich. Its well said but tough done. From there on, its a spiral - it may be half the effort than to change states.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Ever felt like you are not a super achiever, then this is the right time to act. This is the time of your life to make things happen - get into the upward spiral and cruise along. Then all the positives will keep flowing to you in the form of money, recognition or the coveted promotion.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Now you have all the reason not the feel bad when you are depressed, because you know what to do! and how to go about doing it!</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Always remember - The thing that breaks darkness is Light. Let the light shine in your life.</div> </article> <article> <h1>Dont take things for granted and dont work like a dog to secure your descendant’s future...</h1> <p>noreply@blogger.com (balu) — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 16:30:00 +0000</p> <div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">I may have to brush through my learning through the <a href="http://viswaram.blogspot.com/2009/07/theory-of-technological-evolution_15.html">theory of technological evolution</a> to make a bold and weird statement here. Remember me saying, <a href="http://viswaram.blogspot.com/2009/07/theory-of-technological-evolution_15.html">everything and anything you do today is evolution?</a> Which even means, even if you sit simply – you are evolving yourselves and your bundle of future generations.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> These are findings that cant digest all brains, bold because we never had the courage to think that way and weird because they are the realities we are going to live with...</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Life can be thought of like a giant wheel, the one with fortune in a basket and trouble in all other. We all pray to that day to sit on the fortune basket; some people do but 99% of others left with no other choice.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">You needn’t take things for granted, if you are poor today, that doesn’t mean you can be rich tomorrow. If you are healthy today, that doesn’t mean you cant die of illness.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> The wheel of life keeps spinning around and someday you need to jump out from the current basket – why does that happen, let me explain.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Scenario 1:</strong> You are a person with adequate health, you live in highly polluting and contaminated surroundings and you hope to improve your health by consuming some health tablets and pills – what happens (1) your health definitely improves, you become a step ahead of your peers and (2) your body evolves into the new profile – the one which needn’t adapt to the polluting surroundings.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> What we see here is that, when you push things to happen – the ones which had to happen automatically does not happen. When we consume things that make us healthy, we stop the process of the body to generate and tolerate the polluting atmosphere. The result being a weaker race. Our heir becomes less competent to our peers to adapt to the then atmosphere.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Scenario 2: Saving tigers.</strong> Recently saw an advt that says there are only 1411 tigers in India and we need to act soon. If tigers are facing extinction, then god has designed it to be that way – we all know that the entire weight of earth remains the same, when more humans are being born, naturally more species have to be wiped out. If we try to do something to stop the nature’s will, then we are inviting more trouble.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Lets think of this as, if tigers have to be saved, then we need more forests which means more land. If man were to plant all the trees to make the forest, leave alone the success – it leaves a greater carbon footprint. Finally doing more harm than benefit.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Scenario 3: Conserving fuel</strong> – We all read campaigns to save fuel, save energy. Use cycle instead of cars and reduce petrol consumption. This is absolute rubbish. Its better to invent newer sources of energy fearing the wipeout of fuel than conserving it. If man had no fear to the decreasing supply of petrol, he would not have invested his energy to research on newer and greener fuels. A day will come when we will use water to run automobiles, when we have no more drop of petrol left.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> What we see around is man becoming proactive to make or design his future generation. The only thing that man may fail to invent is his son. The reason being, if we keep saving things for tomorrow, we miss out on the opportunity of our heir to invent something better.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">If we keep taking precautionary methods to keep us from falling ill, we seldom give our immunity system to rebuild itself – resulting in a fragile inheritor. Those days are not far, when the son of the beggar will stay healthier than yours, because he is the one who is in the rain and sun and the body copes up to rebuild his gene.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> This is reason why the <a href="http://viswaram.blogspot.com/2009/07/theory-of-technological-evolution_15.html">theory of technological evolution</a> is so important. If you sit simply, you group and regroup your body and mind which then is taken over by your son.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Its so very exciting to build a smarter and better race, only then it will become a positive evolution. Otherwise I fear, we will be the ones that are going to face extinction soon..</div> </article> <article> <h1>Its Introspection time...All you want is all you have asked for..</h1> <p>noreply@blogger.com (balu) — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 17:46:00 +0000</p> <div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">How many of you really believe in the law of attraction. The law that brings prosperity, wealth or love. Yes, its quite true that you can bring what you think all day long. If you think prosperity – you attract prosperity, if you think debt – you attract debt. Now if its that simple, then why don’t everyone practice this simple law and turn their life 180 degree?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> The law holds good, just like a magnet, your mind attracts whatever it dreams off – but there is a condition. This is the most exciting news you are going to listen, something that can lift your spirit, something that you were searching for the last many years. </span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> We all know our mind can be broadly divided into conscious mind, sub conscious mind and unconscious mind. Now the power of subconscious mind is 1000 times more powerful than conscious mind, same is the case with unconscious mind with subconscious. But there is a problem, there is only one language the subconscious or lower unconscious mind accepts – the language of binary. Unlike conscious mind which can carry out complex arithmetic and language translations – lower minds can only read 1 or 0.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> Now what is the binary coding for the lower minds – very simple, it can only read two decision statements – either YES or NO<span style="background-color: white;">. <span class="goog-spellcheck-word" style="background-attachment: scroll; background-image: none; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat;">Eg</span>:</span> “I can drive a car” – 1, “I cannot sing” – 0, “I can take my family to dinner” – 1, “I can...” -1, “I cannot...” – 0. Now when you write down these codes into a sheet of paper, it will show something like this  10110. This has been carrying on for all the decisions you take. Now this unique code is what determines you, its that sum that makes you or breaks you.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> Suppose my arithmetic for the last 20 years looks like this  001010011011010101... and yours look like 1111001000111111..., the only difference might be one “1” or “0”, but that coding could make you super rich and me broke.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> The reality is that there is some unseen handshake made my all 3 minds, when that happens regularly, we become super achievers. I could explain the correlation of conscious and subconscious mind as simple as possible. The ability to set goals and to tenaciously dream is the character of conscious mind, but the person who makes that into reality is the subconscious mind. Now when your dreams are in the same direction that is when the law of attraction works wonders for you.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> I shall narrate it as a story than abstract words, <span style="background-color: white;">suppose Mr.<span class="goog-spellcheck-word" style="background-attachment: scroll; background-image: none; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat;">Ramesh</span>, our</span> hero is meeting up the richest man on the earth, he gets inspired and sets goal for becoming one like his role model. What the subconscious mind does is actually help him, makes sure all his resource are working with him to turn him into the worlds most richest man. Also the mind adds a “1” to the log.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> Next day, he sees a saint – doing some yoga on a deserted beach, he thinks in his mind – “Oh wow, what a life, he must be enjoying a freeman’s life, no tags attached..” Immediately the subconscious mind pulls all resources to help him become a saint. All what the subconscious mind knows is the help the conscious mind. Thus appends a “1” to the <span style="background-color: white;">log, now since his previous two dreams are clashing the mind adds a “0” also to the log – <span class="goog-spellcheck-word" style="background-attachment: scroll; background-image: none; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat;">ie</span> “110” in total</span>.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> Few days later, our <span class="goog-spellcheck-word" style="background-attachment: scroll; background-image: none; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat;">Ramesh</span> sees a gorgeous girl in town, then his mind wavers and then decides that he want to marry that girl. Poor subconscious mind, puts together all resources to help him achieve his dream, appends a “1” and “0” to the log.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"> Now the code becomes “11010” – what has happened in the process is that <span class="goog-spellcheck-word" style="background-attachment: scroll; background-image: none; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat;">Ramesh</span> was giving commands to his lower mind that were contradicting his previous dream statements. This results in total confusion and slippage of personal success. Only a person with (“1111111”) consecutive ones for a short period can become successful.</span> When you make a vision statement, the mind starts work for the same. Your next command should always be to assist the work, only then mental faculties become alive and take you the rightful destination.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> The major reason that law of attraction does not work is not because the law is incorrect, its because you don’t know how to use it. We are all situated at the footsteps of equal opportunity, your success till today is history – tomorrow is the same for you and me, if I start keeping stepping stones, there is no reason that I should live in darkness...</span></div> </article> <article> <h1>and the research goes on...</h1> <p>noreply@blogger.com (balu) — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 05:11:00 +0000</p> <div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">What is success? How can we Measure it? Can we say we become happy if we are successful? Is success a milestone, or is it a roadmap?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> There are many questions like these that still remain unanswered. My quest for success and the reasons why people become successful still remains unanswered.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> There should be some fine line that separates the successful from the non-successful, but what can it be? If 100 people try hard the same way, believe things the same way and even do things the same way, only 5 will be successful. How can god behave so miserly here?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> Researches say being successful is more of mind play than physical doing. Now what can that mindset be?</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> If everyone knew how to be successful, there would be drought and famine here – somehow that’s not logical, god doesn’t want it that way. Out of every 100 people only 5 needs to be successful, 50 people should work for this 5 people and 45 people should be broke – that is how god wants to be.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> If there were no poor people, rich people would have no value. But the thing that separates the poor from the rich is not money, but its mindset. Somehow common-men believe its money that separates poor from rich. They say, “having money is success”, but the reality is “money is the by-product of being successful”.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> Now its this mindset that makes rich richer and poor poorer. You can never be rich without a rich mindset. And however money you have, you will loose it if you have poor mindset. This is why success is slow and gradual. Imagine if success came overnight, we could never held on to it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> This is why people are paid so heavily with debt and hard work and liabilities before One-Million. This is for them to value their efforts. What happens if you get a lottery for 1Mn, sure you will loose it in another 3 months. This is why there is no reported incidents of lottery winners topping millionaire charts.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> Be happy with what you have now; if you are paid 10,000 or 30,000 that is well deserving for you. Now if you are broke at the end of every month, we now know why. When you expand your mindset for more money you get more. This is no joke.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> The reason why people with huge liabilities say 10L or 1Cr are shown more opportunities is because they keep chanting of 10L or 1Cr all the time. They physically know how much is 10L to them, whether they utilize the opportunity or not is a different story. But for us, we all know 10L as 1 followed by 6 zeros.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> Our research for success continues, none of us are quite sure why some people get ahead or some people become rich. Why someone whom we know is half as educated as us making millions and we are struggling. Why someone we don’t admire is rich and famous and some one we want to be like that is still broke.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> It’s a question that has been troubling me for 3 years. If I could get the answer to it, I am more than willing to share it with you, so that you surge ahead in your area of work.</span></div> </article> <article> <h1>The first thing you need to have is a good "BACKBONE"</h1> <p>noreply@blogger.com (balu) — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 19:55:00 +0000</p> <div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></meta><meta content="Word.Document" name="ProgId"></meta><meta content="Microsoft Word 9" name="Generator"></meta><meta content="Microsoft Word 9" name="Originator"></meta><link href="file:///C:/Users/balu/AppData/Local/Temp/msoclip1/01/clip_filelist.xml" rel="File-List"></link><style>  </style></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">In this fast changing world, fast changing ideology - mere survival is no more audacious, but excelling is. The most important thing we need to have is a strong backbone, one that will help us take wise decisions.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> We cannot believe the rate at which things around us keep changing. The rate of changes has increased so steadfastly, that things we read in science fictions are becoming reality now.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> For a glimpse of the changes taking place, lets see the no of car manufactures in our market, 10 years back we knew every model, 20 years back we kept count of the people around who actually owned cars. It is the case with every buy-able thing.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> Things are changing so alarmingly that we cannot keep track of the information. The one thing that is going to really matter in the scenario is a good decision.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> The great thing about a decision is that, it is going to mould your future; the bad thing is that you need to have a strong backbone to take one.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> Many time, people prolong their decision because of their lack of confidence, scepticism or dilemma. But the reality is that what keep them cynic is because they don’t have a good backbone.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> Now how much can you price a good decision, I will say - its weight in gold. Because there are two things that are happening when you take a quick decision</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /> </div><ol style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; margin-top: 0in;" type="1"><li class="MsoNormal">You have the early bird to carve out the fortune and the good benefits.</li> <li class="MsoNormal">If you end up loosing, you can quickly realize and do the needful.</li> </ol><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /> </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Most often people keep beating around the bush waiting for some external force to make their decision. They end up leading compromising lives.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> Lets all accept, all decisions are one in which money is involved - you either make or loose. But the stronger your decision, the weaker the hammering. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> I have a friend of mine whom i know is the worst guy to make a decision. When we go out to shop, he says he will take 3-5 shirts, takes 1 hour in selecting it, takes it all over the counter and still waits for the cashier to ask whether he needs it. And after all the process ends up not buying.</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> Few months back, we had some idea to change apartments. This friend was interested to join us. Since money matter was involved, we rechecked his decision to move with us. <span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">After all the procedures to shift to the new location, this guy said he is not interested.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> And two months back, he said he is ready to join me in my distribution business. After the legal procedures and like, I asked him to submit his ID proof within 10 days to keep his account alive. 60 days have passed; poor this guy has not even found 10 minutes to fax his id.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> Being careless and being without backbone are two different things. The value of all your decisions are going to cost like gold now because technology is evolving fast, money transactions are happening 1000 times faster than a decade and people are getting richer at the rate never before.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> Just like taking the decision requires backbone, living it also does. There are some basics rich do that the poor and mediocre fear to do – one of them is to have the backbone to make things happen.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> Now go sign that cheque, sell that villa, trade that share or start a new venture, but live it up to your decision – your life will never be the same again !!!</span></div> </article> <article> <h1>And people say I am greedy…</h1> <p>noreply@blogger.com (balu) — Wed, 09 Sep 2009 18:53:00 +0000</p> <span style="font-size: small;"></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; font-size: small;"></span><br /> <div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type"></meta><meta content="Word.Document" name="ProgId"></meta><meta content="Microsoft Word 9" name="Generator"></meta><meta content="Microsoft Word 9" name="Originator"></meta><link href="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/RV/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/msoclip1/01/clip_filelist.xml" rel="File-List"></link><style>  </style> </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: 18pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><br /> <div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">We need to invent a new word that stands between desire and greed.

What is a driving school? Its a place where we go to learn driving. They might have helped us get a drivers license - but the real learning must have come when we took the automobile out on road alone, heard all the shouting and honking of other vehicles and we really sweated it out.<br /><br />When we hear such rejections and shouting, we make a choice - either to stop driving or to learn the trade. This is why many licensed people out there sit at home.<br /><br />We are fortunate to have an academic qualification. The moment we think of our degree, we say "Thanks to the lovely friend of mine, to help me by showing the answers..." We might have taken the degree, but are we really educated?<br /><br />This habit of getting things done through shortcut slowly spreads into the business world, for people who step into the shoes of an Entrepreneur - expects results to come overnight. The first question they ask is there a shortcut to become rich?<br /><br />Just like many licensed people sit at home, many entrepreneurs also give up and sit at home. But the people that matter are the ones who were out there to hear all the NO's, refusals, rejections and all that takes to become successful.<br /><br />The most horrifying part for any human being is to hear refusals, that’s because refusals are something that creates inferiority complexes. People who wish to make a difference should come out of that nutshell and exploit themselves to get the things done.<br /><br />Things are changing today at the speed of light; people are running around crazy to make more and more money to buy lifestyle. But the fact is 95% of all these people are looking for a shortcut to make money. They keep their eyes are ears open to take up anything that creates them money without putting in effort.<br /><br />Just like the licensed people sitting at home, one of these days this 95% population is going to sit at home. The people, who run the show, are the ones who are thoroughly prepared.<br /><br />Now what is that will make you run the show: -<br /><br />1. Know where to put the effort. There is no point in working hard at JOB – there is a limit to which your income will rise (ask your director/manager their salary package).<br />2. Keep your eyes and ears open - opportunity is knocking you everyday.<br />3. Learn your strengths and weaknesses – you need to better yourselves before you better your work.<br />4. By far – the highest income-earning people in world today are business class people, try to have a mentor from this quad.<br />5. Once you are focussed – be all out and do all that takes to become successful. There is nothing called as second best – you need to become the top performer.<br /><br /> The people who sit at home after failing from businesses, what you suppose they do “they start a new business venture and fail in that too”, they keep doing this again and again till they learn the trick – ALL OUT AND HARD WORK –COME WHAT MAY!<br /> </span> </article> <article> <h1>You can only give what you have….</h1> <p>noreply@blogger.com (balu) — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 19:01:00 +0000</p> <div style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-family:Times,";"><span style="font-size:small;">If I give you 3 apples, its only because I had 3 or more apples with me.

We can actually put a halt to other people’s anger, frustration, fury, and jealousy by just not being receptive. As long as we are not receptive they cannot give it to us. Listen to all harsh words showered on you like a kid looking at a flower.<br /><br /><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-family:Times,";"><span style="font-size:small;">Similarly, you can only give what you have, you cannot give love if your mind is full of jealousy, you cannot give motivation if you are not self driven and obviously you cannot give advices without being “feel, felt, found”.<br /><br /><o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-family:Times,";"><span style="font-size:small;">The best thing that you can give today is Information – its not time, money or any other aspects.

Their job mainly circles around finding the best solutions for their customers. Their duty lies in locating the right kind of resources, fulfilling the requirements of their esteemed customers.</div><div style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Someone said, “We are now living in a customer focused world – we need to be treating the customer like the king”. That’s right. The customer is the most important person; if they are not there – we don’t survive.</div><div style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">It was when I was having a discussion with an entrepreneur that it occurred to me that, there also exists a paradox to the “May I help you” query. This is something that we never thought off, and its trueness is still uncertain.</div><div style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">For the people who believe in ego and inferiority complexes, when someone says “May I Help you”, he is actually offering to help you on areas that you are not aware of. He is willing to put his time and efforts to ensure you are being served. He has access to information and resources that you don’t, hence, he is more supreme than you.</div><div style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">The person, who offers to help you, can be naturally considered as being superior to you. Just think about this, all the people who offered to help you were better than you at doing that particular stuff.</div><div style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Even when you offer to help someone, you will be doing it in areas in which you are proficient. Say you are good at repairing fuses – now if your neighbor comes and asks you for help in changing fuse, will you not offer it? Think about it, since you were good at something, the other one wasn’t, your help was necessary. Now if you didn’t know how to repair fuses, you would surely look for someone in your neighborhood who knows how to do it.</div><div style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Now think about all the occasions when people came forward to help you; all those people could help you, because they were better than you in that particular area.</div><div style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">This is the great paradox we need to walk with now. Our egos and complexes are now facing a big problem, whether to ask for help or to do things ourselves. The best way to keep your ego contented will be to use your skills to help people.</div><div style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Pretty confused right, me too. But there is some flaw in this speculation; this cannot explain why people with less technical knowledge go places. This thought cannot explain why school dropouts, non-qualified people reign the business world.</div><div style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">May be I can think of an rationalization this way, the best thing you can do to become extraordinarily successful is to find people who keep saying “May I help you” and put them to work at things they are good at. This secret explains why entrepreneurs scale great heights and the common man is stuck in 9-9 jobs.</div><div style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">What we need to change is our thought paradigm, lets analyze these conditions. </div><div style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Case 1: If you keep assigning tasks to people who are good at that, you can employ them as well as you can satisfy their ego</div><div style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Case 2: If you allocate the right kind of resources to your people, they will always respect you – because they are doing stuffs that they are good at.</div><div style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Case 3: They wont mind the salary, if they are given the work they love – think about all the people who keep complaining of salary and increments, they are people who do not love what they do.</div><div style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Case 4: The person who is doing all these satisfies their ego as well - “they are ready to find people to do specific tasks for them”</div><div style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">There are many things in life that we cant explain, there are also some basic stuffs that need no explanation.. </div> </article> <article> <h1>Just Shut Up and Listen... (JSUpL)</h1> <p>noreply@blogger.com (balu) — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 17:28:00 +0000</p> <div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">If you are confident, get up and speak, if you don’t know the answer Just Shut Up and Listen (JSUpL). These words are not unfamiliar, but are truly unpracticed. Its almost natural for us to react to situations around but most often we forget to whether we are the right person to advice people.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Whatever is your age, experience, qualification – you need to develop the habit of listening to topics that you are not aware of. You need to respect the person who is helping you learn new practices and principles. Most often our ego gets in the way and protects us to learn things from people who are not qualified, inexperienced, under aged but with knowledge.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">This is so true, and just like it applies to me, it applies to you as well. Let think of this situation, you are 8+ years experienced in your organization, now a fresher comes in and talks about things that are knowledgeable and intellectually correct – but your ego gets in the way, and your years of experience logically defends the fresher to share his knowledge.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">This happens to even people who are educationally qualified as well, they will not promptly JSUpL to a person who is a school dropout, similarly a 40 year old will not JSUpL to a 20 year old.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">This is the golden rule for learning. If there is something you are sure about, don’t stop – go ahead and spread your knowledge, be bold enough to prove your things are correct. If there is something you are unsure, learn that from a person who is more knowledgeable than you are. Show some respect to the person in front of you with knowledge.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Most of us assume things to be this way and that way, without having a clear understanding. The three letter word EGO will make us more inferior than we are right now, if we dont eliminate it. Our Ego will make us traitors and often make us loose the good that were to come our way.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><b>SECRET : </b>The main reason to why middle class people remain mediocre is because, they stop learning. Unfortunately learning comes from everything, they might come from a unqualified, inexperienced or under aged person. So we need to be brave enough to JSUpL and learn from it.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Whatever you are, never stop learning – I don’t mean degrees, but practical stuff’s that help you make money. There are only 2 situations out there – one which help you make money and second one that will help you learn something to make money tomorrow.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">If you compromise on learning, its like compromising on money. Its not the 500 rupees increment I refer to in JOB. Its about the millions you are going to earn out there in businesses.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">The Tata’s, Relaince’s and ABG’s have no problems in listening to an expert, but we have – that may be why they keep getting rich and we get stuck up in Rat Race. JSUpL will do wonders for you, learn to work out this paradigm… </div> </article> <article> <h1>Theory of Technological evolution – REVISITED.</h1> <p>noreply@blogger.com (balu) — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 17:03:00 +0000</p> <div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">The advance of technology by the human race was more or less visited in the last week’s discussion. Lets remain focused with this phenomenon that is creating tremors around for many a business owners as well as corporate people. Now lets closely analyze the latent power this episode has got.<br /><br /></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">We had discussed earlier that the current generation has got all the probabilities to rein supreme than the preceding one. Its also true that the current generation should, in all ways try to accomplish far more than the preceding ones did. It means we need to really fire on all cylinders and work harder than them.<br /><br /></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Most of us are working on the principle “scarcity creates demand”. If we look back into history and see the evolution of the super power called Japan, we see that they were thoroughly struck with scarcity, they didn’t have food to eat, money to live, clothes to wear or anything to survive after the 2<sup>nd</sup> world war. They actually had a choice to perish or to struggle harder. They did struggle, and right now they are the highest per capita income country.<br /><br /></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"> Demand is what made Japan a super power, Demand determines the extent of prosperity and the ability to evolve.<br /><br /></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">There is another law which is guiding evolution, it says <b>“Anything we do today, anything is actually evolution”</b>. This means all the steps we do today are actually becoming the stepping stones for the generations to come. The paradox is even if we are not doing anything, we are actually creating future in it. This might seem illogical – but the truth is even if we are not doing anything, we are actually creating better future for the next generation.<br /><br /></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">These laws are actually hard to bite on, but if we give it a close look – we may understand it better. Let me try to throw some examples to catch on –<br /><br /></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><i>We know Edison as the person, who invented tungsten bulb, but actually the bulb had been invented earlier but the challenge was they could not help it burn longer. The laws of evolution actually hold because the prior researches actually helped Edison in perfecting the bulb.<br /><br /></i></div><div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><i>We know Galileo as the person who invented telescope, and the person who promulgated the sun at center theory. As a matter of fact, telescope was invented earlier – the only reason was it wasn’t perfect. The sun at center theory was actually done 80 years prior by Copernicus. Those papers actually helped Galileo in completing the theory.<br /><br /></i></div><div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><i>Jesus Christ died 2000 years ago, but if we analyze the reach Christianity has on this world – we can see evolution. The followers of Christ actually spread his message far better than him. All this happened without telephone, internet, social networking etc. That’s evolution.</i><br /><br /></div><div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">So no matter of what we do or not do, we are actually stepping on the gas to help our future generations to succeed. Evolution is so wonderful yet fearsome topic to discuss on.<br /><br /></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Let me explain to why it can be fearsome also. Today we see the rate at which technology changes - its almost uncontrollable, if we look back 15 years – we might have not even heard of a mobile phone. Its almost sure we did not have an email id 15 years back. But now things are changing so fast that we cant keep track. We are confused whether to sign into orkut or facebook, whether to use CDMA or GSM. We find ourselves to be a store house of more than 5000 marketing messages daily.<br /><br /></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Can someone think what its going to be 10 years from now. Say, even with technology we may find it hard to keep track of our friend. But that’s evolution – and it has to happen.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">The people who make it in life will be the ones that are actually speeding up the evolution process; they are the people who fall in the evolution-cycle. They create and recreate wonders. </div> </article> <article> <h1>The Theory of Technological Evolution..</h1> <p>noreply@blogger.com (balu) — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 18:01:00 +0000</p> <div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">What could be the first thing we recollect when we hear the word –Evolution, yes Charles Darwin and his studies on this wonderful topic. We can rest assure that these laws of Evolution are still being taught in schools today. Lets all salute to the wonderful insights and thought processes Darwin’s theory has given us.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">My discussion here is to stress the relevance evolution has on our day-to-day lives. Evolution is the art of inheriting capabilities from a person and then adding value to it. According to Darwin, Inheritance came only from parents ie genetic. We mold out to be better than our ancestors. We start out from where they left out. So the theory of Evolution holds good there, not just to the humans but to all creatures of the planet.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">According to his theory - "Natural selection acts to preserve and accumulate minor advantageous genetic mutations. Suppose a member of a species developed a functional advantage (it grew wings and learned to fly). Its offspring would inherit that advantage and pass it on to their offspring. The inferior (disadvantaged) members of the same species would gradually die out, leaving only the superior (advantaged) members of the species”. </span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">The technological version of this theory can be thought about as “A doctor having years of experience and extended hours of research trying to pass on this developed skill to his son/daughter – and in most cases failing miserably”.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Unfortunately this theory was incapable of explaining the technological revolution. Had humans believed to this theory only – and was not ready to learn from people outside their family – we would have been living today just like the people were 2000 years ago. The Theory Of Technological Evolution applies to only humans and creatures that can communicate.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">The </span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms; font-weight: bold;">first theory</span><span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"> states that <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">“we advance in technology by speeding up the communication process; we need to speed up the messages we receive as well as promulgate" </span>Imagine the same doctor “He becomes a doctor because he was ready to learn from another doctor, and he keeps the flame burning by teaching the same thing to the next generation”. Now if we can speed up the learning and teaching process we can have more doctors around.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">The <span style="font-weight: bold;">second theory</span> states that <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">“The follower always become better than the leader – however small the fraction is”</span>. The person, who learns from the teacher, ultimately becomes more powerful and influential than him. There is no better day than today to be a follower; you are surely going to outgrow your teacher. The doctor outgrows his <a href="http://viswaram.blogspot.com/2009/06/who-can-be-mentor.html">mentor</a>, by applying his teachings – he also discovers better technologies and innovations.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">The<span style="font-weight: bold;"> third theory</span> states that <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">“these two theories work for anyone independent of the technological hierarchy”</span> For the Darwin theory of evolution worked when there established blood relationships. However there are no relationships of any kind between the learners and teacher for technological transfer to take place. This gives us the freedom for independent technological transfer ie. Any person can decide what he wants to be, and start to learn the required. We have a choice to be a doctor, engineer etc.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">The 3 theories of evolution are very much stronger than we can conceive. This is the secret to why man has learned to conquer any challenges that comes his way. We are entering into a very powerful era called the information age where the speed with which technology multiplies is going to increase – that gives us all the same window of opportunity – to survive or to succeed. </span></div> </article> <article> <h1>Are you Lost in Thought (LIT) ?</h1> <p>noreply@blogger.com (balu) — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 16:00:00 +0000</p> <div style="font-family: trebuchet ms; text-align: justify;"><meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" equiv="Content-Type"><meta content="Word.Document" name="ProgId"><meta content="Microsoft Word 9" name="Generator"><meta content="Microsoft Word 9" name="Originator"><link href="file:///C:/Users/balu/AppData/Local/Temp/msoclip1/01/clip_filelist.xml" rel="File-List"><style><br /><br /></style> </div><div style="font-family: trebuchet ms; text-align: justify;">Humans are the only species known to change their surroundings by changing their <a href="http://viswaram.blogspot.com/2009/04/power-of-positive-intent.html">thoughts</a>. This fact has been substantiated over the years, by exhaustive studies conducted by various scientists, all over the world. This ability of ours is not just because we are the most intelligent of all species on earth, but because we also have the ability to focus our energy on a dominant thought and make that come true. <br /> <br /><o:p></o:p></div><div style="font-family: trebuchet ms; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="font-family: trebuchet ms; text-align: justify;">If you observe the many species on earth, you’ll find that they are all highly equipped to adapt to the situations around them. The polar bears have heavy fur to help them survive the cold, the chameleon has the ability to change colors to get away from a predator, tigers and cats can run fast to catch their prey, the antelopes and deer are provided with horns to fight their predators, the sharks are given powerful teeth to get their meal and many more. We find that almost all of god’s creations, other than man, have been created in such a way that helps them survive hardships. <br /> <br /><o:p></o:p></div><div style="font-family: trebuchet ms; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="font-family: trebuchet ms; text-align: justify;">Now, what has god given man? Or has he given man something to help adapt to situations? Yes; The Almighty gave us the ability to <a href="http://viswaram.blogspot.com/2008/08/change-ability-to-redirect-your-energy.html">change</a> our circumstances, rather than just adapt to them. We are the only known species that can change our circumstances, while all other species have to adjust with it to survive. The question now is - how do we do this? <br /> <br /><o:p></o:p></div><div style="font-family: trebuchet ms; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="font-family: trebuchet ms; text-align: justify;">We change our circumstances by changing the way we think. If you hold on to the same thought consistently for a period of time, you could convert it into reality. Let’s look for some examples from history to reinforce this – we wanted to travel places, cover long distances; but we could not run fast – so we invented motor vehicles. We couldn’t fly like the birds out in the sky – so we invented aircrafts. We couldn’t swim like fishes in the unknown depths of the ocean– so we invented scuba diving equipments. Now take any example, be it a small or a massive change – we have brought about these changes by the thoughts we held in our mind. <br /> <br /><o:p></o:p></div><div style="font-family: trebuchet ms; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="font-family: trebuchet ms; text-align: justify;">Are you a person <b>“Lost In Thought (LIT)”</b>. If you are, you are going to bring about a <a href="http://viswaram.blogspot.com/2008/07/desire-stepping-stone-to-success_17.html">desirable change</a> to yourself as well as others. What you think about, you bring about. LIT just not to dream, but to dream the same dream over and over again.

Yet we hear people talk about "following one’s dreams, so as to achieve success and happiness in life." What we need to realize is that dreams can never be concluding, the moment we have achieved one - a better dream pops out of us. When we have progressed one level, we see that our dreams have progressed two levels.<br /><br />Dreams, Just like happiness, success are worthwhile when progressively realized .Every one of us have dreams, be it the one we see subconsciously when we sleep or the one we envisage during the daytime. No man has ever succeeded in intentionally stopping himself from dreaming. Experts are of the opinion that, the dreams we see at night are, in fact, the manifestations of our activities during the day.<br /><br />On the other hand, day-dreams are the manifestations of what we would like to do. They show us the picture of a prospective future, as we want it to be. And these are the ones that will, in reality, manifest itself. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Luckily, we have a choice to decide what to dream about and hence what to bring about.</span> I am not quite sure how many of you believe the above statement.<br /><br />Most achievements were a blueprint initially; and even before it was a blueprint – it was in the hearts of some people. Now when we stand in front of such huge monuments or wonders and think about the person behind it, we must also understand the dream that he had, the courage that he had to follow his heart…<br /><br />We feel that some people are ‘lucky’ – they get their breaks, get ahead and become world famous and rich. Most others – the ones, whom we entitle ‘unlucky’, starve, live in poverty, and die miserably. Now what could the difference be? Is it because their surroundings and circumstances did not favor their growth, or is it because they did not know how to become a super achiever? <a href="http://sajeevnair.blogspot.com/2008/07/you-are-not-product-of-circumstances.html">You are not the product of your circumstances; you are the product of the choices you make – today, this minute, this second.</a><br /><br />There are some laws that are applicable to all human beings, whether he is man, woman, black, white, poor or rich. These laws are called as the <span style="font-weight: bold;">universal laws</span>, and it is applicable in all walks of life. There are some resources that all of us have in the same quantity – <span style="font-weight: bold;">24 hours, degree of hope, ability to dream, ability to communicate, throb to socialize.</span> Now, we can have the answer to all the questions if we know how to exploit our priceless possessions to the max.<br /><br />The higher your dreams, the higher placed you will be in life. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Successful people – focus on things that they want in life and unsuccessful people – focus on things that they don’t want.</span> What is it that you really want? The dreams that we see today are going to come true, for sure, tomorrow; we have two choices: either to discard them or to have the courage to follow them.<br /><br />Just like any powerful entity, dreams can be positive or negative – lets all learn to follow the good dreams, because they are the ones that will earn us goodwill. Make sure you have the same dream every day, let there be focus of energy. Let the dream be so powerful enough to move your subconscious mind. Let the dream be so big to shape your surroundings and circumstances. Let the dream be so good, that it will bring prosperity to millions, not just you alone.<br /><br />If our ex-president stated “India is becoming a super power by 2020” it has a lot to do with the dreams we carry every day. God knows, maybe it may be one of us topping the Forbes billionaire chart that day. Life’s success never goes to the faster, stronger or the better man – it always goes to the one who thinks he can! </div> </article> <article> <h1>who can be a mentor ?</h1> <p>noreply@blogger.com (balu) — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 15:15:00 +0000</p> <div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><b>Mentor:</b> [men-tawr, -ter] :<b>noun: </b>(1) a wise and trusted counselor or teacher. (2) an influential senior sponsor or supporter. verb (used without object) (3) to act as a mentor: She spent years mentoring to junior employees.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><b>Mentee</b>:[men-tee] : <b>noun:</b> a person who is guided by a mentor.<br /><br /></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">The dictionary defines a mentor and a mentee in just a few simple words, but that does not give a complete picture of the privileges and power these people have got. A Mentor is someone who gives an honest and wise advice to his/her followers. Of the many followers, the one who grasps his advice and goes ahead to use them are mentees.<br /><br /></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"> All of us may have a mentor, but not necessarily mentees. The reason for this being, <b>"No one is perfect".</b>We are all people who want to bring in perfection, be it in our personality, family relationships, work motivation, earning skill or the way we close sales. So we seek the help of a force greater than us to guide us.<br /><br /></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"> A mentor is someone who hands you a torch, when you approach a dark tunnel. He doesn’t give you a lighted torch; it’s your responsibility to switch on the torch and pass through the tunnel. If a mentor were to take all the decisions for you, then what would be your role?<br /><br /></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"> People usually confuse a mentor and an advisor. The latter is one who gives you a focused approach to do things, say <i>“You need to invest 30,000 in HUL shares so that you can triple your shares”,</i> mostly that they might not have done themselves. Whereas a mentor is someone who gives you a range of advises to gear you up to face the challenges before you, say - <i>“You need to do the right thing, even though the wrong one benefits you the most”. </i>There is nothing wrong even if a mentor says “<i>You need to share your innovative idea with atleast 20 people a week, to become a millionaire”</i> provided he has done it, and he is a millionaire..<br /><br /></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"> I think this is going to hit you hard. You not only confused advisors to mentors, but have always done what the advisors had told you. We can relate this as much as, the advices we give to our peers, colleagues and friends - we might say "do this... ","do that..." but most certainly we might have opened our mouth because of our intutions rather than the existing facts.<br /><br /></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Nothing to get disheartened, but there are three things we need to keep in mind.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">(1) Don’t give advice to someone, on something that you haven’t accomplished yet.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">(2) Don’t take advice from people who are not achievers themselves.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">(3) Dont hesitate to follow the mentor, he is the one who has acheived in areas which you wish to excel for.</div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><b>It’s not quite surprising that you may find real leaders of the country driving autorikshaws or shaving heads. </b>It isn’t quite funny when your friend advices you to take up an MBA when he himself has no intention of taking it up.

When our past gives us experience and the future waits with <a href="http://viswaram.blogspot.com/2008/09/hopethe-medicine-that-keeps-us-alive.html">hope</a>, today is the most promising day we ever have. The person we are, the decisions we make, the things we buy, the places we visit and almost everything we do is because we have this wonderful day called today. And for this wonderful ‘present’, I express my gratitude to almighty everyday.<br /> The golden rule in any self-sustaining business is “Learn – Do – Teach” and in the general corporate world it is “Learn – Teach”. This statement needs no further explanation. Almost all big business owners laid their foundation to LEARN the nuances of the business, taking time to DO it and later they become leaders and TEACH others to do the same. This is why the business is highly but delayed gratification. Now no one expects the corporate to follow the “L-D-T”, they get their businesses done by a mere “L-T”, seriously I do not know why it’s this way, but let’s accept it for true.<br /> If you can observe, the person who is motivating you in your job will be a person who has not done your kind of work himself. They call in external trainers to help you out. Whereas in business atmosphere, it seldom clicks – all business owners demand to counsel with a person who knows what their business is.<br /> We all have very, very short lives – even if you live 120 years, you are not going to learn all the systems and processes in the world. If you have learned something; dont wait to start doing it, and once you are an expert; dont wait to teach others. But never insist on teaching something that you haven’t yet learned. You wont have a reputation there.<br /> The personal development industry has grown so big and it remains a promise for the generations to come, but the challenge we may not see is that – there are lots of people out there who have not done what they say and say what they have done. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Its your responsibility to choose the right mentor, then only will real personal growth happen.</span><br /> You Learn by Doing, Do by Learning, Do by Teaching and Teach by Doing but never teach by learning and learn by teaching. Pretty confusing right ? Now I have heard people say to me, “Boy you don’t do what you say and how come you continue to blog”. Now that is something that you have to decide, you might have read my earlier blogs as well – If I am improving, its because I have done what I said and if the standard has gone down its the other way round.<br /> <span style="font-weight: bold;"> The entire personal development industry works on the principle of thought provocation. </span>No one in this universe but you can change your action and results. If my articles have in some way motivated you or at some point of time helped you, I shall consider myself the most satisfied person on earth. Now someone asked me that when all your articles basically emphasize the same point, then why do you have to write a lot and confuse us? That’s because different people think differently, hence it’s tough to say what may <a href="http://viswaram.blogspot.com/2009/05/everything-that-goes-down-can-come-up.html">motivate</a> someone?<br /> There is no better day than today to <a href="http://viswaram.blogspot.com/2008/08/change-ability-to-redirect-your-energy.html">change</a> your fortune and success. A small change everyday for a person can bring about a revolution to the entire mankind, and I believe in something called as the evolution – you become a better person than your predecessor. You are the best person walking on this planet that can guide many people to their destiny. Any change is grudging, but most certainly it is highly rewarding.<br /> There are millions of people who wish to be mediocre, nothing can be done there. But there are thousands who wish to grow and out grow – the only thing they lack is the right vehicle for growth. You practice the “L-D-T” principle, and you cannot be outrun. Go give your best shot buddy!<br /> </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"></div> </article> <article> <h1>Guaranteed recipes to fail...</h1> <p>noreply@blogger.com (balu) — Wed, 27 May 2009 16:26:00 +0000</p> <div style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type"></meta><meta content="Word.Document" name="ProgId"></meta><meta content="Microsoft Word 9" name="Generator"></meta><meta content="Microsoft Word 9" name="Originator"></meta><link href="file:///C:/Users/balu/AppData/Local/Temp/msoclip1/01/clip_filelist.xml" rel="File-List"></link><style>  </style> </div><div style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">There are certain things in this world to which we cannot attach a guarantee card, say happiness, love, friendship, affection, hatred, anger and frustration. All these may be counted as emotions or state of the mind, which may even be temporary .i.e. it can be changed by external forces and incidents. And there are others which come with a guarantee; say the TV that comes with a 5 year guarantee or the refrigerator or the air conditioner or the mobile phone or anything that we get to buy in the market.<o:p></o:p></div><div style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"> Almost all manufactured products are offered a guarantee, be it 5 years or 5000 hours or 2 lakh kilometers. All man-made things can be given a surety, while almost all god given gifts cannot. This is the reason as to why we cannot guarantee we’ll be happy even when we earn $1,000,000,000. Who knows, we might be happier as a poor man.<br /> I have heard people state that successes and failures are states of mind and that we have the ability to switch between success and failure. The explanation, I can think of for this, is that both successes and failures are manufactured products that can be bought from the market just like the way we buy a TV for a price. Some people choose to win and the others choose to loose, its not that failure happens automatically – its that they choose to loose. Now thats something very hard to accept, so let me try to convince you.<br /> Failure and success come with a guarantee card that lasts till you buy the next product. If you buy success now, you can continue enjoying successes till you buy another failure product. Now it is very easy to merge the god given products (like love, happiness, affection) with the success product and those like anger, frustration, and hatred with the failure products. <br /> <u><br /> If we learn as to what will make us fail, we may/can refrain from doing it.</u> <u1:p></u1:p><o:p></o:p></div><div style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;">1.<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span>Your brain can have n number of earning skills (like painting, singing, accounting, marketing etc), but if you don’t identify as to what you are good at – you can fail. <o:p></o:p></div><div style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;">2.<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span>You can be in the wrong business – like trying to sell type writers in this fast, hi-tech age. <o:p></o:p></div><div style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;">3.<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span>You can be in the right business but at the wrong time – like trying to start an IT industry in these times of recession. <o:p></o:p></div><div style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;">4.<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span>You can be in the right business but with the wrong people – like trying to build a tourism industry with all your partners being doctors. <o:p></o:p></div><div style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;">5.<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span>You are unaware that you are in the right business now – like it happened to millions of people in the 80’s when they were in distribution business and quit half way. <o:p></o:p></div><div style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;">6.<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span>You dont have a mentor to help and guide you. <o:p></o:p></div><div style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;">7.<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span>You are a pessimist – you always expect everything to go wrong, and so it does. <o:p></o:p></div><div style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;">8.<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span>You are a quitter – you give up when you are just 3 feet from gold. <o:p></o:p></div><div style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;">9.<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span>You find excuses and whine for not hitting the target.

Our work culture is such that not only do we have <a href="http://viswaram.blogspot.com/2008/09/timethe-commodity-that-cannot-be.html">no time</a> for our family, but we also fail to maintain relationships within our social circle. Due to the restrictions on time we refrain to participate in social activities, help our friends or relatives in some crisis or even simply maintain contact with them. We call up people only when we need help. Have we ever thought of calling up someone to ask <a href="http://viswaram.blogspot.com/2009/01/may-i-help-youhelp-is-always-around.html">“may I help you”?</a></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">We are not to be blamed. Had we had the time, we would have cared more and stood by each other in times of need. Lets closely look at the life of a typical nuclear family. The Father goes to work @ 8.00AM, comes back home @ 7.00 PM. Mostly the Mother will be an employee too who leaves for work @ 7.00 AM to return @ 5.00 PM. Now the kid will be with the grandparents or if the kid is school going, they get a maid to sent him to school @ 8.00AM and bring him back from school @ 4.00 PM. Now lets see the quality time a man spends with his wife and kid – hardly 3 hours (neglecting sleep). What if he carries home, some left over work from office??? </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">This again is a totally helpless situation. No one is to blame; we are all leading this kind of life today. Imagine the case if both the man and woman are software professionals? They probably wouldn’t have the time to have a kid even. Now it’s only natural that no one would bother to find out who one’s neighbors are or what they do. </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Now in the same family, on one fine day when the Father is @ work and working on some important deadline, suppose the Mother falls ill. Whom can he rely on for helping his wife? I have personally seen situations where people can’t apply for a leave so as to help with some household work. All we can do is pray that tough things don’t happen to people who work hard. But again let me tell you, you are not to be blamed. </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;">The most, most important thing a human wants is recognition, I will bet its not money, lifestyle or things money can buy – but it’s the joy when he gets when his friends applaud him. Corporates like IBM, Walmart and many more recognize this. Would you be happy, when you live in your dream house on a ranch or lake side, with lots of money – but no friends to come? Someone rightly pointed out that man is a social animal, that its when he is in a group that he enjoys the most. <a href="http://viswaram.blogspot.com/2008/12/associationthe-key-to-achieving-your.html"><b>Relationship is the key</b></a>; you first build good relations all else like financial freedom, spare time, more money etc will follow. </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqUuGdnVyi0ye8H_6KJCc9IgmKJLr-6HpKRrxesk7cgwCrCPvn9Z9WCHCSqgK0U3u7C3cZK7D7KhOUnaVdX6uUa_bDuJL9SR2FAqj5YY_yULaOY9q8du5rvFe7A05Mo3hbjfAmfD__uE8/s1600-h/Build-internal-relationships_slideshow_image.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a>Over the next few decades, the most important attribute that is going to be followed by every individual, society, company, corporate giant, any pvt. Organisation or even the government will be to build cordial relationship with others. People will awaken to be 'High-touch' people even in these times of challenging 'Hi-tech' life. There is nothing short of a guarantee that all 'high-touch' organisations will be ruling the business front in every area of functioning. Let’s estimate more number of people will have more time+money to invest in relations when India grows to super power in 2020. </div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div> </article> <article> <h1>Faith can move mountains for real...</h1> <p>noreply@blogger.com (balu) — Wed, 13 May 2009 17:19:00 +0000</p> Reading through the great holy books of all time and the wonderful message they convey about faith, it sounds much exaggerated when they say “Faith can move mountains”. I simply could not accept that faith could make the impossible, possible, until recently. What changed my perspective was an audio program that pointed out that faith is just not to move mountains but to do a lot of other things as well. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">Faith is the power to <a href="http://viswaram.blogspot.com/2008/09/perseverancewhen-you-have-nothing-more.html">persist</a>. Can u think of a simpler, yet convincing definition than this? Faith is really the power that helps you continue to do what you are doing now. Faith is just not the love of god or the love for god. It is the vitamin that let’s you <a href="http://viswaram.blogspot.com/2008/09/perseverancewhen-you-have-nothing-more.html">persevere</a>. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">We have heard people say that faith can work wonders. Ever wondered how? It is the element that urges you to get out and start hunting for your success. It is the reason why people, in spite of the innumerous rejections and setbacks they face, come back again and perform. It is the reason as to why even when the entire world is against you – you still stand for what you believe in. We have heard of the stories of Socrates, Aristotle, Galileo and many more – who were rejected by people around them when they told the truth. After 4000 years we don’t remember the names of the people who were against them – but we certainly do remember these heroes for their faith. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">Relating this to the present day scenario, I think this should give us enough relief when some one rejects us when we come up with an idea to change their financial destiny. Success is not denied to the person who strongly believes that he deserves it. People who have faith in them and Almighty will not be denied success, however delayed the gratification might be. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">If we closely analyse any success story, it is always a mixture of failures, bad times, financial struggles, crisis and lot more sad stuffs. Just like a coal under tremendous pressure and heat transforms to a beautiful gem called Diamond, I believe these hurdles are very essential to <a href="http://team1.in/">transform</a> yourselves into a better person. </span><span style="font-size: small; font-weight: bold;">Can you lead a team of 5000 people right now with the skill sets you’ve right now?</span><span style="font-size: small;"> I really doubt it. Someday when you’ll head an organization, you’ll need to have the skills to <a href="http://viswaram.blogspot.com/2008/12/leadershipyou-either-lead-follow-or-get.html">communicate, motivate and inspire the mass</a>. Now if you wish to do that someday in your lives, here is what you can do today. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><u1:p></u1:p>1.

You will be able to do the same to 1 or 2 of your friends or relatives. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><u1:p></u1:p>3. You continue doing it, and after sometime you might be addressing 40-50 families. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><u1:p></u1:p>4. Certainly after a while, you will be helping and benefiting more than a 1000 families. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">If you dream to build a company of your own, you need to get started. You need to refine your skills, define your goals and targets and obviously have faith in what you’re doing. The example I quoted was no exaggeration; you need to have around 5000 people with you, to set up a <a href="http://viswaram.blogspot.com/2009/04/million-dollar-habits.html">sustaining business</a>. For those who think this is impossible, continue doing what you are doing now, because you’ll never get anywhere without faith. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">Fortune favours those who work with <a href="http://viswaram.blogspot.com/2008/10/commitmentyou-need-to-give-all-that.html">commitment</a>. In this information age, when a lot many people are losing their jobs and income (<a href="http://richdadpoordad.com/">predicted by leading economists in 2003-04</a>), <a href="http://viswaram.blogspot.com/2009/03/winners-in-downturn-sequel-to-great.html">entrepreneurship</a> is the name of the game. People who are self-sufficient will ride the tide, for the others it’s like a Tsunami that will sweep away their lifestyles. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;">It will not be a mistake to say that, there is a power greater than yourself that decides when to favour you with results and achievements; until then have faith and persist. <u1:p></u1:p><o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"></div><div style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /> </span></div> </article> <article> <h1>Everything that goes down can come up...</h1> <p>noreply@blogger.com (balu) — Wed, 06 May 2009 14:22:00 +0000</p> <div style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5cj8T1N7XJrrHeEm-4qeCegPO4LddgJNSJmAaIT1HEK4WcjgODAfbgmppLHPeMW3g0EyziSopB1xin8f3wYxH3rTTEKhyphenhyphenzeU0hXy9kumeLn29x3YNeHj7wEdKmRIEPt2frsLYSRLlEnQ/s1600-h/motivation_philosophie.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"></a> </span><link href="file:///C:/Users/balu/AppData/Local/Temp/msoclip1/01/clip_filelist.xml" rel="File-List"></link><link href="file:///C:/Users/balu/AppData/Local/Temp/msoclip1/01/clip_editdata.mso" rel="Edit-Time-Data"></link><style>  </style> </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: black; font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7p6nU-WaRz1gvHtAg3LRA9Gzs_oxrzsApUTYnKEhFSzpUAdcNyQt3C2jstE8nmU6xBzEz-U9bSz75UrSxVO0CXjql4RiDliVO_HyJd3UtzeS4TC-0rzaaGMLYTYNdiqwWdURhqJY02ak/s1600-h/motivation_philosophie.jpg"><span style="text-decoration: none;"></span></a>Everything that goes up must come down.

Thus the saying <a href="http://viswaram.blogspot.com/2009/04/million-dollar-habits.html">“Winning is a habit; so is losing”</a>. We can attribute this phenomenon to the power of positive intent.

Only when we counsel with a person who is an <a href="http://viswaram.blogspot.com/2008/12/leadershipyou-either-lead-follow-or-get.html">achiever</a>, do we realize this fact. We all are achievers when it comes to getting what we want. We all had worked hard and acquired admission in a college of our choice. We then coached ourselves for recruitment into a reputable firm. These are actually our set of achievements, but not the kind that we could place in our resumes’ and so we take them for granted.</span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: 100%;"> Just like the power of positive intent could help you succeed in life, so can the power of negative intent make you a loser. People, who have little or no education, wouldn’t have dealt with either of the two. So it’s easy for them to go on and become top achievers. That could be the reason why the most successful people are mostly college dropouts. These people experimented with their lives and were led by their <a href="http://viswaram.blogspot.com/2008/08/confidence-never-run-out-of-it.html">gut feeling</a>. That may not be possible for all of us. People who are already into a profession need to utilize the power of positive intent to turn millionaires and billionaires. They cannot quit their job and start an endeavor to turn successful. Instead, they should plan carefully and create assets to become rich. </span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: 100%;"> “The ability to pump yourself with positives and blessings when the entire world is giving you a bad image, rejection and failures – is the power of positive intent”. It may be simply expressed but is actually tough to contain. Its really tough to come back and perform with <a href="http://viswaram.blogspot.com/2008/08/confidence-never-run-out-of-it.html">confidence</a> each time you are rejected. Most people remain unsuccessful because of their self limiting intentions. If you learn how to fill yourselves with positives, then you will not remain mediocre. Learn this at an young age, you will have a bright future. </span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: 100%;"> People with ordinary thoughts never become extraordinary. People who have accomplished extraordinary feats were ordinary people, but with extraordinary thoughts. Similarly to become rich, we need to have <a href="http://viswaram.blogspot.com/2008/07/desire-stepping-stone-to-success_17.html">rich thoughts</a>. It’s not possible to become rich by thinking mediocre thoughts. This is the reason to why any amount of money given to a poor person only makes him poorer than richer. There has not been any reported cases of a person winning a lottery, hitting the billionaires list consecutively – rich thoughts are required to earn money as well as to maintain them. </span><br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: 100%;"> Now don't waste your time by spending it on activities that spoil your energy. Be committed to something that will benefit you as well as the society. As my friend said “I<b><i><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">f your commitment is deeper than sea and if dreams are higher than sky ..then your future is brighter than sun..”</span></i></b></span></div> </article> </main></body></html>
