Somebody has brilliantly said: “Be so good that they cannot ignore you”. so cool. Love it. Life favors the devoted. The more you give to life, the more life send back.

It is just not possible for you to be great at what you do, always reaching for your brilliance and standing for excellence, and not win in the end. IT COULD BE A LONG BATTLE BUT EVENTUALLY VICTORY WILL BE YOURS.IT HAS HAPPENED WITH ME IN PAST AND I AM YET AGAIN ON ITS WAY TO TASTE IT. Yes! sometimes discouragement do set in. Happens to all of us at some point of time. We try hard, stay true to our dreams and persue our ideals. Yet nothing happens for a very long time. Or so it seems!

But every choice matters. And every steps count. Life runs according to its own rule and agenda,not ours. BE PATIENT. TRUST! BE LIKE A STONECUTTER, STEADILY CHIPPING AWAY,DAY BY DAY. Eventually, a single blow will crack the stone and reveal the DIAMOND.

An enthusiastic, dedicated and determined person,who is ridiculously good at what they do just cannot be denied. SERIOUSLY!

LIFE IS ALWAYS FAIR IN THE END.TRUST IT!!

WHAT IS THE POINT IN HAVING GREAT IDEAS IF WE DON’T EXECUTE IT!!

Categories Inspirational,motivational, belief system Life lessons,learnig6 Comments on WHAT IS THE POINT IN HAVING GREAT IDEAS IF WE DON’T EXECUTE IT!!

Yes! I feel very strong about this theme!

” The smallest of actions is always much better than the noblest of intentions”- this proverb is very close to my heart. It is not so much about dreaming up a big idea. Its all about acting on them.

What seperates the ordinary ones from the Great ones is a simple fact: The best of the best execute brilliantly around their most vital priorities.

Leadership is, in so many ways, about getting right things done.

NOT STARTED. NOT IN PROCESS. DONE.

So today, make a decision that will revolutionize your career, life or self: Never leave the sight of an opportunity without doing something to seize it.

BOTTOMLINE

BE LESS ABOUT TALK AND MORE ABOUT DO!!

 

 

 

 

THE ONLY WAY TO INFLUENCE PEOPLE IS TO LEAD THEM BY EXAMPLE!!

My Flying Training was the best phase of my life.It taught me many sensible lessons which I very much remember and cherish even today. When I was undergoing flying training, my instructor and Mentor Wing Commander Vincent Mendonze would often tell me one thing and I still remember his exact conversation. He said something brilliant I want to share with you all. LEAD PEOPLE BY EXAMPLE!!

“Ravi, he said, ” the greatest sermon in life is the one you see.” Very sensible and smart ideas: Make your life your message. Live your truth. Walk your core values. Behave your conviction and philosophy. That’s how you can move those around you to play at their best.NO OTHER WAY!!

It is so easy to talk about a brilliant and a splendid lesson. But far harder to live it. However, the great ones do it. Elegantly.Consistently. Passionately. My dad was one of them.

This reminds me what famous psychologist Abraham Maslow said once, “In order for us to become truly happy, that which we can become, we must become.”

SO SET YOUR OWN EXAMPLE AND LEAD OTHERS.IT WOULD CERTAINLY WORK.

THE LAW OF ONE-POINTED ATTENTION!!

Categories Inspirational,motivational, belief system Life lessons,learnig2 Comments on THE LAW OF ONE-POINTED ATTENTION!!

 

Have you ever heard of one-pointed attention? What is this after-all? Imagine a martial artist who is about to break a solid brick with his bare hand. What does this man do? He stands in one place and focuses his attention on the central part of the brick. His intention is to cut through the solid resistence of the brick with the power of his hand. He draws his whole mental and physical energy to the edge of his hand. The soft hand becomes as sharp and tough as a sword. One-pointed attention channels the vast energy of his mind in the desired direction.

We have to recognize the fact that it is neither information nor physical energy that gives real power. Power comes from the undivided and one-pointed attention, as is evident from the following story:

A Business man was driving in his expensive car through a highway in Dubai. Suddenly, the car’s engine stopped. The Business man tried his hand at the engine. No effect. He decided to walk to the nearest town to get a mechanic. The ragged mechanic came, opened and had a good, long look. Then he took out his hammer and hit gently on a small component of the engine. The car regained its life.

The Business man asked, “How much?”

The mechanic replied, ” That would be a thousand dollars, Sir!”

” What! A thousand dollars just for hammering once?”

” Yes Sir, the break-up is as follows:

One dollar for giving you the information about the problem. A couple of dollars for the energy I spent in striking with this hammer. And nine hundred ninety seven dollars for the one-pointed attention that tell me where to hit and with what force.”

MESSAGE

One -point attention is priceless. Ancient Indian Sages defined an attentive mind as ‘ekagra’, which literally means one-point. You can achieve anything by using law of one-pointed attention.

HOW TO HAVE A MIND OF OF YOUR OWN AND CONVICTION TO BACK IT!!

Categories Inspirational,motivational, belief system Life lessons,learnig, Uncategorized17 Comments on HOW TO HAVE A MIND OF OF YOUR OWN AND CONVICTION TO BACK IT!!

 

We all have our own stories to tell about weird questions at job interviews. But have you heard about how Thomas Alva Edison interviewed people who wanted to work with him? That’s an interesting story there!

After the initial round of questions, if Edison came across a bright candidate, he would take him out to dinner before making up his mind on whether to hire him. The interview could continue, and when the food arrived, Edison would take a bite and remark, ‘ I think this needs more salt!’ And then he would watch the candidate.

If the candidate added salt before tasting the food he would not be hired. However, if the candidate tasted the food first and then decided if salt needed to be added Edison would hire him. Edison knew that people who easily believed what other people had to say, or made assumption without first-hand knowledge or experience,would not be able to look afresh at problems and find innovative solutions. They would have closed mind. Edison was looking for people with a mind of their own and the conviction to back it.

We all know people whose potential and dreams remained unrealized because they did not have the conviction to back their instincts. They chose a line of study or career simply because someone else said it was best for them. They did not chase their passion just because someone said it was doomed, it would not work. In many cases, they even gave up even without trying, assuming they could not do it- simply because someone else had said it could not be done. We all have had great ideas but not all of us have gone on to work on them and make them come to life. They later discovered someone else did exactly what we had in mind and found great success.

Do your own things. Make mistakes. Live on the edge. Chase your dreams. Don’t just go by what other people tell you. That may be a safe option but it is unlikely to get you the success you deserve.

GO FOR IT. AND YES, DON’T BLINDLY ADD THE SALT IN YOUR FOOD!!

MESSAGE:

HAVE AN INDEPENDENT AND INNOVATIVE THINKING AND YOUR OWN MIND.

THE MOMENT THE MIND IS FOCUSSED,THE ANSWERS FALL INTO PLACE!!

Categories Inspirational,motivational, belief system Life lessons,learnigLeave a Comment on THE MOMENT THE MIND IS FOCUSSED,THE ANSWERS FALL INTO PLACE!!

 

Our face tells us how to hear. We have two ears on the opposite side of our face, one facing left, and the other facing right, both of them going into the brain. In other words, we must hear from both the sides. If we hear only from one side, we will never understand.

I would like to share with you story of a Japanese warrior and his teacher, a General. In the olden days, they use to send messages through pigeons. So this General sent a message to his student, the warrior, through a pigeon.

But the bird was caught in heavy rain and the student unraveled the message, most of the message was blurred. Nevertheless, the student carried out the instructions of his master to the letter, based on a word or two which was legible, much to the amazement of those around him but not to his master.

He was so focussed as a student that he could read his master’s mind. By reading a word, he knew where the sentence was going. He saw the composite picture beyond his ears and beyond his eyes.

Message

Listen to your teacher or mentor with focus and concentration and you will reap the full benefits of his wisdom. The depth of understanding is in the student, not in the master.
