1. They move on. They don’t waste time feeling sorry for themselves.
2. They embrace change. They welcome challenges.
3. They stay happy. They don’t watse energy on things they can’t control.
4. They are kind, fair and unafraid to speak up.
5. They are willing to take calculated risk.
6. They celebrate other people’s success. They don’t resent that success.
A person should treat everyone (person on the same level as he is, person on a level up and most importantly a person on a level below than him) with same integrity and respect. It shows the real character of a person.
The great Muhammad Ali once said, ” I don’t see the character of a person by the way he treats me, i see his character by the way he treats the person lower than him”.
Everyone deserves respect, no matter how rich we are, how much we have achieved in life, we don’t have any authority to disrespect someone and make fun of them.
So, be humble, be respectful, be nice to everyone and in return you will automatically get the respect and love from everyone.
Good Morning
1. Stop complaining and appreciate how lucky you are everyday.

4. Throw off the TV and set internet controls.
5. Pick one skill you want to cultivate and put all your efforts in developing it.
6. Commit to the goals you set and never look back.
7. Sweat everyday to boost your mind.
8. Fail forward. Learn from every mistake you make.
I don’t think this picture needs an explanation. Every blogger and reader here understands the relevance of consistency and the relationship between consistency and success.
So i am leaving it as it is. Your valuable comments are awaited😊
We have always heard that experience matters everywhere. Whether you go for a job, start a company or even in life, experience matters a lot. Often we have seen someone giving life advice saying that he has a lot of experience and that’s why he knows these situations better than anyone else.
But do you gain experience? How you become experienced in something? Is it just the number of years you spend studying about something? Is a person who is older guaranteed to have more experience than a younger one?
Let me tell you how-
MISTAKES!!!
Mistakes are what helps us gain experience. When we make a mistake, we learn new things and this helps us gain experience which further leads to success.
I once asked someone on a very high post-
Me- How did you do this?
He- By making good decisions
Me- How do you make good decisions?
He- From experience
Me- How do you gain experience?
He- By making bad decisions
So don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Your mistakes are just the pearls you are gathering in your backpack you just don’t realise the value of. But these pearls are the ones which will make you rich someday. So keep collecting them😊
All of you must have rad the novel “Think and Grow Rich”. Even if you haven’t read it, you definitely have heard that “The people who achieve their dreams are the ones who watches one”. Without having dreams and goals, you can’t achieve much in life.
We all have heard infinite number of thoughts describing importance of dreams such as, “If people don’t laugh at your dreams. they are not big enough” or “If you can dream it, you can achieve it” So, i think we can all agree to the fact that watching dreams is very important. Dream is what burns a fire in your belly to go out in the world and become the best thing there has ever been. Dream is what keeps us going through the hardest of times and continue to work hard and at last, it definitely pays off, ofcourse sooner for some than others, but it definitely pays off.
But as the fact is, there are two sides of a coin.
What if i say that as a road to success, dream’s success rate is only about 10% or even less. That means, for more than 90% of people, watching dreams doesn’t act as a motivator, but become a hurdle in their path to success. WHY???
Because once they start watching dreams, they start fantasizing their success. Suppose someone wants to be a big singer, he will start seeing himself on a stage performing with a huge crowd in front of him. He will feel good about seeing this dream and would wish it to be real. He will see this dream all day and night but he will not be able to achieve it in reality because he has become so accustomed to dreaming that he just wants to reach the summit, he doesn’t want to climb it.He does not want to go through all the pain and sacrifice on his way to success because in his mind he has already succeeded.
This is the problem with all of us. We all want the reward not the struggle. We want the result not the process. We are not in love with the fight but only the victory.
But life doesn’t work that way. Who you are is defined by what you are willing to struggle for. People who enjoys struggles of the gym are the ones who run triathlons and have chiseled abs. People who enjoys long workweeks and the politics of the corporate ladder are the ones who climb to the top of it.
This is not about willpower or grit. This is the most simple and basic component of life: Our struggles determines our success. Our problems birth our happiness along with slightly better and upgraded problems.
It’s a never ending upward spiral. And if you think at any point you are allowed to stop climbing, i am afraid you are missing the point, because the joy is in the climb itself.
We are told since we are kids, “Set goals, targets and then work hard to achieve them”. Whether it is academic or sports or business, everyone sets a target and then achieve them or nearly achieve them.
But why is setting target so important? can’t we succeed without setting target? The answer is yes, we can obviously get success but target setting just helps our mind to know what is the maximum we want to achieve and it operates the body accordingly. Okay, those lines maybe complicated.
Let us take an example: when you go to gym, you know a level of every exercise you can do easily. Let us take squats, lets suppose you can do 40 squats comfortably. But you will set you target to 50 squats and when you start, you will do 40 easily, 41 to 47 will be very hard and last 3 would just take as much effort as the previous 47 did. Obviously you will complete 50 squats but you will not be able to do a single more. After doing 50 you will feel totally exhausted and will not be able to do more.
Now, lets analyse the example.
I hope you will find the answers, do share them. Now, you know why is it important to set high targets.
like someone said, Always aim for the moon, if you miss it, don’t worry, you will fall among the stars.
and like Dan Pena said,” You will never achieve a cent more than your target”.
All of you know there are two situations in our life, Happiness and sadness. Now, we feel good when happiness comes but feel bad when it goes. In the same way, we feel bad when sadness comes but feel good when it goes. So, we can say that we feel good and bad in both the situations, although in a different way. So now my question is- Which one is Better? Happiness or Sadness?
Let me clear this- No one is better.
All these are just situations of life. No situation is better and no situation is worse. We just make them better and worse as per our understanding. We should just live and we should respect every situation because every situation teaches us some lesson.
Now, some of you will ask that we enjoy being in state of happiness but not in the state of sadness. So, according to this logic, happiness is better than sadness. The answer is to analyse why are you able to enjoy the state of happiness? How do you know that you are in the state of happiness? Because you have experienced sadness and you know how miserable it is to be in that state. So, the state of sadness acts as a catalyst to help you fully enjoy your state of happiness. If there was no sadness, you would never know what happiness is. We know about one only because we know about the other. Both of these are complimentary to each other.
I also discussed this thing in my previous post Comparison.
Will appreciate your views on the topic
Thanks
What do you think is the most difficult thing to say?….let me tell you…NO.
From the time we are in school, we are taught to say yes to every work or responsibility given to us, we are supposed to say yes to everything our teacher says. But the real meaning of life lies in saying NO. The person who has the ability to say NO without any hesitation or second guesses has no stopping whatsoever.
So , learn to say NO and teach our children to say NO.
Comparison is a good thing and a bad thing as well. Comparison is what motivates a person to become better and better every day. It is what helps us to push our limits and scale new heights.
But it is also the cause of our misery and unhappiness. Comparison is what makes you think that you are not good enough, you are not efficient enough and you are not ENOUGH.
Comparison is what lets us think that we are not worthy enough. You see is there is only one millionaire in the town and others are poor, the millionaire would be very happy of his wealth because he is comparing it to others near him. Now, if all others near him are multi millionaires or billionaires, he would feel himself as poor and will become unhappy. Why? Just because he is comparing his level of success with others. This is where we go wrong.
Comparison is not a bad thing but it should not overtake yourself from you. It should act as a motivating force and not as a reason of your dissatisfaction and misery. You need to take care of that.
Thanks😊
