YOU ARE..

YOU ARE..

One day not too long ago the employees of a large company in St. Louis, Missouri returned from their lunch break and were greeted with a sign on the front door. The sign said: "Yesterday the person who has been hindering your growth in this company passed away. We invite you to join the funeral in the room that has been prepared in the gym." 

At first everyone was sad to hear that one of their colleagues had died, but after a while they started getting curious about who this person might be. The excitement grew as the employees arrived at the gym to pay their last respects. Everyone wondered: "Who is this person who was hindering my progress? Well, at least he's no longer here!" 

One by one the employees got closer to the coffin and when they looked inside it they suddenly became speechless. They stood over the coffin, shocked and in silence, as if someone had touched the deepest part of their soul. 

There was a mirror inside the coffin: everyone who looked inside it could see himself. There was also a sign next to the mirror that said: 

                                        "There is only one person who is capable to set limits to your growth: it is YOU." 

YOU are the only person who can revolutionize your life.
YOU are the only person who can influence your happiness, your realization and your success.
YOU are the only person who can help yourself.

Your life does not change when your boss changes, when your friends change, when your parents change, when your partner changes, when your company changes.

Your life changes when YOU change, when you go beyond your limiting beliefs, when you realize that

YOU ARE the only one responsible for your life.

FLY Beyond your FEARS

SOAR BEYOND YOUR FEARS!!!

Once there was a king who received a gift of two magnificent falcons from Arabia. They were peregrine falcons, the most beautiful birds he had ever seen. He gave the precious birds to his head falconer to be trained. 

Months passed and one day the head falconer informed the king that though one of the falcons was flying majestically, soaring high in the sky, the other bird had not moved from its branch since the day it had arrived. 

The king summoned healers and sorcerers from all the land to tend to the falcon, but no one could make the bird fly. He presented the task to the member of his court, but the next day, the king saw through the palace window that the bird had still not moved from its perch. Having tried everything else, the king thought to himself, "May be I need someone more familiar with the countryside to understand the nature of this problem." So he cried out to his court, "Go and get a farmer." 

In the morning, the king was thrilled to see the falcon soaring high above the palace gardens. He said to his court, "Bring me the doer of this miracle."

The court quickly located the farmer, who came and stood before the king. The king asked him, "How did you make the falcon fly?" 

With his head bowed, the farmer said to the king, " It was very easy, your highness. I simply cut the branch where the bird was sitting."

-

We are all made to fly -- to realize our incredible potential as human beings. But instead of doing that, we sit on our branches, clinging to the things that are familiar to us. The possibilities are endless, but for most of us, they remain undiscovered. We conform to the familiar, the comfortable, and the mundane. So for the most part, our lives are mediocre instead of exciting, thrilling and fulfilling. 

So let us learn to destroy the branch of fear we cling to and free ourselves to the glory of flight.

What is 'SUCCESS'

Most successful men have not achieved their distinction by having some new talent or opportunity presented to them. They have developed the opportunity that was at hand.
- Bruce Barton

The difference between failure and success is doing a thing nearly right and doing a thing exactly right.
-Edward Simmons 

Part of success is preparation on purpose.
-Jim Rohn 

I do not think there is any other quality so essential to success of any kind as the quality of perseverance. It overcomes almost everything, even nature.
-John D. Rockefeller

Successful men are influenced by desire for pleasing results. Failures are influenced by desire for pleasing methods.
-Frank E. Brennan 

Achievement seems to be connected with action. Successful men and women keep moving. They make mistakes, but they don't quit.
-Conrad Hilton

To me success would be to be able to do your very best in everything you do.
-Paul Cummings 

I believe that the true road to preeminent success in any line is to make yourself master of that line.
-Andrew Carnegie 

A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and gets to bed at night, and in between he does what he wants to do.
-Bob Dylan 

Failure is success if we learn from it.
-Malcolm Forbes

The Wolves Within

An old Grandfather, whose grandson came to him with anger at a schoolmate who had done him an injustice, said, "Let me tell you a story. I too, at times, have felt a great hate for those that have taken so much, with no sorrow for what they do. But hate wears you down, and does not hurt your enemy. It is like taking poison and wishing your enemy would die. I have struggled with these feelings many times." He continued, "It is as if there are two wolves inside me; one is good and does no harm. He lives in harmony with all around him and does not take offense when no offense was intended. He will only fight when it is right to do so, and in the right way." "But the other wolf, ah! He is full of anger. The littlest thing will set him into a fit of temper. He fights everyone, all the time, for no reason. He cannot think because his anger and hate are so great. It is hard to live with these two wolves inside me, for both of them try to dominate my spirit." The boy looked intently into his Grandfather's eye and asked, "Which one wins, Grandfather?" The Grandfather solemnly said, "The one I feed."

The Self and The Consciousness

Let me take a crude example to define and differentiate The Self and The consciousness.

All living animals are aware of the self but not consciousness, only the human being is aware of his consciousness, the dialogue in GITA is not between Krishna and Arjuna, but between NARA and NA...RAYANA or better between the self and the consciousness....and that is where intelligence is born....or the ability to rationalize...the ability to use the free will to refine ourselves..

to be continued.

God won’t ask how many promotions you received, but will ask how you promoted others.

God won’t ask what your job title was, but will ask if you reformed your job to the best of your ability.

God won’t ask what you did to help yourself, but will ask what you did to help others.

God won’t ask how many friends you had, but will ask how many people to whom you were a true friend.

Don’t draw conclusions until you know all the facts

One old man was sitting with his 25 year old son in the train.

Train is about to leave the station.
All passengers are settling down their seat.

As train started young man was filled with lot of joy and curiosity.
He was sitting on the window side.

He went out one hand and feeling the passing air. He shouted, "Papa
see all trees are going behind".

Old man smile and admired son's feelings.

Beside the young man , one couple was sitting and listening to the
conversion between father and son.

They were little awkward with the attitude of 25 years old man
behaving like a small child.

Suddenly young man again shouted, "Papa see the pond and animals.
Clouds are moving with train".

Couple was watching the young man embarrassingly.

Now it started raining and some of water drops touches the young man's hand.
He was filled with joy and he closed the eyes.

He shouted again," Papa it's raining, water is touching me, see papa".

Couple couldn't help themselves and ask the old man.

"Why don't you visit the Doctor and get treatment for your son."

Old man said, “Yes, We are coming from the hospital as Today my son
got his eye sight for first time in his life".

[Moral: "Don’t draw conclusions until you know all the facts".]

Life Still Has A Meaning

Life Still Has A Meaning

If there is a future there is time for mending-
Time to see your troubles coming to an ending.

Life is never hopeless however great your sorrow-
If you're looking forward to a new tomorrow.

If there is time for wishing then there is time for hoping-
When through doubt and darkness you are blindly groping.

Though the heart be heavy and hurt you may be feeling-
If there is time for praying there is time for healing.

So if through your window there is a new day breaking-
Thank God for the promise, though mind and soul be aching,

If with harvest over there is grain enough for gleaning-
There is a new tomorrow and life still has meaning..

Lesson Learnt...

 

Lesson Learnt :::

When I was in elementary school, I got into a major argument with a boy in my class. I have forgotten what the argument was about, but I have never forgotten the lesson learned that day. 

I was convinced that "I" was right and "he" was wrong - and he was just as convinced that "I" was wrong and "he" was right. 

The teacher decided to teach us a very important lesson. She brought us up to the front of the class and placed him on one side of her desk and me on the other. 

In the middle of her desk was a large, round object. I could clearly see that it was black. She asked the boy what color the object was. "White," he answered. 

I couldn’t believe he said the object was white, when it was obviously black! Another argument started between my classmate and me, this time about the color of the object. 

The teacher told me to go stand where the boy was standing and told him to come stand where I had been. 

We changed places, and now she asked me what the color of the object was. I had to answer, "White." It was an object with two differently colored sides, and from his viewpoint it was white. Only from my side was it black. 

My teacher taught me a very important lesson learned that day: You must stand in the other person’s shoes and look at the situation through their eyes in order to truly understand their perspective.

--- copied from great author's biography..

We Will SEE..

We'll see..

Once upon a time, there was a farmer in the central region of China. He didn't have a lot of money and, instead of a tractor, he used an old horse to plow his field.

One afternoon, while working in the field, the horse dropped dead. Everyone in the village said, "Oh, what a horrible thing to happen."

The farmer said simply, "We'll see." 

He was so at peace and so calm, that everyone in the village got together and, admiring his attitude, gave him a new horse as a gift. 

Everyone's reaction now was, "What a lucky man." And the farmer said, "We'll see." 

A couple days later, the new horse jumped a fence and ran away. Everyone in the village shook their heads and said, "What a poor fellow!"

The farmer smiled and said, "We'll see."

Eventually, the horse found his way home, with couple more horses (its frds) and everyone again said, "What a fortunate man."

The farmer said, "We'll see."

Later in the year, the farmer's young boy went out riding on the horse and fell and broke his leg. Everyone in the village said, "What a shame for the poor boy."

The farmer said, "We'll see."

Two days later, the army came into the village to draft new recruits. When they saw that the farmer's son had a broken leg, they decided not to recruit him.
Everyone said, "What a fortunate young man."

The farmer smiled again - and said "We'll see."

Moral of the story: There's no use in overreacting to the events and circumstances of our everyday lives. Many times what looks like a setback, may actually be a gift in disguise. And when our hearts are in the right place, all events and circumstances are gifts that we can learn valuable lessons from.

Face Obstacles.. Win over them..

In ancient times, a king had a boulder(big Stone) placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it. Many loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the big stone out of the way. 

Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. On approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. 

As the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the king indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many others never understand. 

Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve one's condition.

Failures are Stepping Stones for Success

This is my today's story and Inconvenience regretted.
I cant stop myself from writing this.

Today, I have lost it and a guilty feeling is killing my mind and am not able to come out of it.
I have attended the Selections happening for Oracle applications technology in WIPRO.
This was my First External Company Interview after I joined IBM.
Lot of things were playing in my mind yesterday.,

1. review all techincal stuff learnt till now
2. review all functional setups in modules which am working on .
3. review some commands on Unix, which might come handy in interview.,
4. what is the best way to present myself for interview panel
5. How much salary should i ask if i get selected through that.

The day started and it was getting nervous more and more.
I had a good breakfast and reached there sharp by 10am.

The first round of tech interview started and I have given 80% of what i can.
They told us we have cleared it and asked me and one of my frds to wait for the next level.

It was getting nervous again, and its a telephonic call in second round.The questions kept on coming from the panelist and a feeling started in my mind that I cant make/answer it.Still, I have answered 70% of questions correctly nevertheless and 30% not sure.

I felt like I will get through and slowly nervousness became a relief and happier feeling inside.My friend is a gem and He was always confident about his result.

After an hour or so, One of the panelists came and asked me that I can leave and they will get back to me.My friend was asked to stay there for further rounds of HR.


From that particular moment till now, Its an unexplainable feeling of pain in my heart, which kept on saying me I have lost.

The reasons may be various but Should I have to think about them still and keep this pain in my heart ever?


Was it a mistake from my end not to express promptly?
Was it a mistake from the Panelist not to cope up with me?
Am I really ready with all the stuff I mentioned in the Resume?
Did it have anything to do with my appearance or anything as such?
Was it due to the 'Rahu kalam (time)' which my parents were warning me not to start between 9-10.30 on saturday?

These Questions were rotating in my mind, with the speed of Eternity.

The only Answer I got Finally is 'THIS IS NOT THE END OF THE ROAD.'
This is the OPPORTUNITY to revive myself and the things I have learnt, to correct the mistakes happened.
I feel I have given my best but Everyone will have bad and good days.
I lost in Infosys selections during my engineering but I could win into IBM the very next time.
My Fav sachin also gets out cheaply sometimes.
I swear from the Heart now that I will give 100% of what I can best do.

I have the confidence to prove that the below saying is Correct.

"Failures are the Stepping Stones for Success."

I will prove it and SO ARE YOU...

Always GIVE Yourself another Chance.

Dont Ever Feel that You are a LOSER at any moment in life..,

This is extremely dangerous than whatever the other people think of you.
Something Better must be waiting for us if we loose one opportunity.

YOU should keep up your SELF-CONFIDENCE.

After All, its Our LIFE.. We have to win it and we WILL WIN it.

Iam sure the Answer is a Big NO..

Take a Bow Master...

Here is what his Mates say about him:  (from Cricinfo.com)

"Come on Sachin my friend get your 200. World record to please! Glad I'm not bowling to him today ha ha ha."

Tendulkar's old pal Shane Warne tweets his excitement as he nears the double-century

 

"I thought the way he celebrated when he reached his 200 epitomised the man's persona. There was no running laps around the field, no aggressive gestures, nothing over-the-top. He did what he always does, raised both his arms, closed his eyes for a moment and quietly acknowledged that it had been done."

Anil Kumble applauds a long-time team-mate 

"He has always respected the game and is dedicated to it. But I think this is not enough for him. He is hungry and I am sure he will keep creating new records. He is a dedicated student of the game and is still keen to learn things."

Ramakant Achrekar, Tendulkar's childhood coach

"He is my favourite player. I had said that one day he would go on to break all batting records and now you see him scoring runs and runs."

Javed Miandad kinda saw it coming

 

"Whatever record is seen to be impossible to achieve, he makes it possible. That's all I can say. It seems as he's getting older, he is becoming more and more mature. No wonder Sir Donald Bradman saw himself in the way Sachin bats."

King of parsimony Bapu Nadkarni is not parsimonious with his praise
