PAYING ATTENTION

Image
One of the major skills that separates the winners from the losers is the art of paying attention. Losers are too impatient and rigid to pay it, whereas winners understand that their ultimate success depends on it.

TO TRUST OR NOT TO TRUST?

Image
I don't know why I'm very particular about trust, but I just have to write this otherwise it's gonna explode inside of me. Our daily existence on this planet is a function of our trust for one another. Without trust, we

BECOME A CREATOR

Image
What are you creating in this world? Take a look around you. All the very successful people you know are creators of something. They all offer value to you! In football, the players create the game by their actions on the pitch while the spectators are entertained. These players are well paid for their efforts while the spectators just enjoy the game. Spectators pay with their money and time. In engineering, engineers get paid for creating and designing systems and machines, while the consumers of their products pay them for it. Doctors create by applying their skills learnt in medicine to effectively take care of the sick(consumers). They get paid by the consumers for it. Comedians, Actors and Musicians entertain you with their skills and get paid with consumers money, while the consumers are just entertained. Restaurant owners get paid by their consumers for the services they create and Banks are thriving because they create value for their clients. I

FACE YOUR FEAR, LIVE YOUR DREAMS

Image
Pay attention this short story:  One day, a young buffalo named Jack approached his father and asked him if there was anything that he should be afraid of. “Only the lions my son,” his father responded. “Okay, I'd be careful around lions. If I see anyone, I’ll turn and run as fast as I can,” said Jack. “No, that’s the worst thing you can do,” said Jack's father. “Why? They will kill me," asked Jack The dad smiled and replied, “Jack, if you run away, the lions will chase you and catch you. And when they do, they will pounce on you and tear you apart”. “So what should I do?” asked Jack. “If you ever see a lion, stand your ground to show him that you’re not afraid. If he doesn’t move away, show him your sharp horns and stomp the ground with your hooves. If that doesn’t work, move slowly towards him. If that doesn’t work, charge him and hit him with everything you’ve got!” “That’s crazy, I’ll be too scared to do that. What if he attacks me back?” sa

SUCCESS TIP: DO NOT MAKE HASTY ASSUMPTIONS

Image
It is very common for man to easily make assumptions, form unproven theories and jump into conclusion about things he's not even sure of.  A major cause of this is that it suits man's ego to have that sense of pride in knowing everything. But this is more folly than wise. You've often heard some quotes like "All men are the same" "All women are the same" , "All men are liars, all women are deceptive" etc..  All these fake postulations are made by people who have had few experiences and the "generalized" it to the whole. Truth is you cannot make such statements except you have experienced the character of either all men or all women. Some claim that some things are impossible and that you shouldn't try. But many things have been invented by people who didn't believe in assumptions formed made others. It was once thought flying was impossible and that the earth was round. What's up with those postulati

LIVING IN THE PRESENT MOMENT

Image
Many of the problems we face in our lives today can be  traced to not living in the present. Why? Because most people would rather live in the past or in the future. The only time that always exists presently is "NOW". It's not yesterday and it's not even tomorrow. You're always existing in the present. You can't bypass it and actually live
