A few random thoughts hovering on my mind, which summarise my way of looking at my life and the recent events of my life.
1. 24 hours are too much if they are split into minutes and seconds and each interval is taken care of individually.
2. The real taste of adventure in life, is to explore a path with more unknowns & less equations. For, that is when life will have infinite solutions.
3. GO OUT! BREAK THE RULES... Taste glory & create a story!
4. Doing something really big at a young age is marvellous, for, only that can make you realise - "rules are meant to be broken!"
5. SELF EVALUATION - If you are not criticised & everybody around you is satisfied with you, you can be sure of being on the wrong path. CHANGE DIRECTION!
6. Last but not the least - "All the world loves a lover". Love everyone. The easiest way to get loved is give love.
....
Just a few quotes to reinforce stuff.

Silver Lining! - Cogitate Over This One!
Friends! Sit down to introspect and push yourself into few moments of retrospection. Look into your past, thank all the people who have, in the slightest way possible, been responsible for your present. Look at all the occasions, least expected, that cropped up only to ensure your pleasant present took birth. Thank them all.
Look back into the past - all these little angels and occasions are those dots, which when connected, within the limits of an optimistically practical frame of mind, have the power to extrapolate into a future that will turn out to be the benediction in its most chastise form, that universe bestows on your dreams. This line, formed by connecting all the dots, is always the detour, that life takes when you ask for something and dont know the route - This route, is what, I call the SILVER LINING.
This article deserves extrapolation too. Append your thoughts into the comments column. Thank You for being a dot on my silver lining.

Power of Belief!
I know, I am not the first one to write about this. Rhonda byrne's "The Secret" will tell you more about this topic. But then, I just felt like putting up my thoughts on this. This article is definitely more, than merely a testimonial to "the secret".
In the recent journey of mine, everything in my life has just come true the way I exactly believed it should for me and for many of my ebiz colleagues and all other people whom I know, who truly believe in this power of belief.
You are reader no.
In this case I would love to just say, let your belief be completely pure in whatever you want in your life. Visualise it exactly the way you want it, innumerous times. Feel the feeling deep within, how it would feel once the belief turned reality. Why most people do not achieve their beliefs or what they visualise is because once something that practically seems impossible is visualised, the very next moment, our mind is preoccupied with thoughts which are trying to sketch the route ot the destination imagined. If you try to plan the step by step journey to where you want to reach or what you want to achieve, then you would end up accomplishing what you are already capable of and you deny the universe from doing the planning for you.
To justify the above paragraph just think of this person from a small town who dreamt of being the president of the country but when asked "How?", just said "I dont know!". He moved ahead in life with enough zeal and enthu in whatever he did. Once he looked back at his life after he turned the president of the country, he had no way to explain practically everything that happened.
He narrated those innumerous co-incidences that took place all along, right from childhood till his winning the elections. Those competitions in school where he had to participate in debates and only those people stood for it, compared to whom he was better off, these served as moral boosters. Only on those days co-incidentally he found on many an occasion, that those better off than him, were absent, that staying up late at school and that very meeting with chairman of his university just when he had for the first time topped his class ever in his journey of schooling, that getting impressed of the chairman at that instant, that offering of sholarship for further education, that travelling in the train, that co-incidence of sharing the compartment with a senior politician, that getting impressed of his for him being a student of such an elite college, though hailing from a poor background.
He remembers the co-incidence, of health going down of the university president for students' union, on the annual day and that pushing down of the opportunity of addressing the university crowd of over 20,000 people amidst the chief guests of elite status and varied political background on him, that falling of easy questions in the next days exam only from the syllabus he happend to prepare for, that getting impressed of all the circle around him and publishing his name in students magazine, that increase of fame, those invitations for guest lectures in various under-grad schools for being student of such elite performance and high extra-curricular record, that clicking of one opportunity after another for various talks around the country.
As he recalls further, that missing of the last bus back home and only way to return home being the option of taking a lift, that getting of a lift in the car of an individual who was looking for a great speaker with firm credentials to promote his party for next elections in return for a good payment, that co-incidence of his desire to earn money to help his mom recover out of the cancer treatment she was going through which made him accept the proposal, that co-incidental victory of the party he promoted which made the winning party offer him more than money - a seat in assembly, the co-incidental meeting of an upcoming author at a book store who aspired to co-author a book with this person, as the aspiring author had heard a lot of his speeches, that getting famous of that book, bringing him country wide glory and huge response from the crowd and what followed later is something you and I can only imagine. A series of more co-incidences leading him to the post of president.
As he looked behind, everything in his life looked perfectly planned, but he wasnt the one who planned. This is where the universe played its role. But, he acted with passion and commitment at every step with a very high belief of being the president of the country one day.
The above paragraph, I must say, definitely sounds like a fairy tale, for, my understanding of power of belief stands clear and confirms, that every belief thats practically impossible goes through a series of, otherwise never expected, incidents which sums up the journey to real success, as a fairy tale.
I just want to conclude that there is eternal power in power of belief, which makes the universe take the burden of planning things for you. Just ensure you know your passion and follow it completely and engage in relentless pursuit of it with complete honesty and integrity, the universe will take care of the rest.
"For, the universe has many a fairy tales written already and is engaged in a relentless search of characters for its tales, you could be the next. You have to BELIEVE IT!"
PS: This article is open to commments. Do share your experiences where dots seem to have got connected in life, giving me a chance to learn. I know there is co-incidence waiting to happen.

When going gets tough, The tough get going. Once the tough get going, for the rest, the going gets easier.
In times of despair, with the dreams burning in the eyes, with efforts on the field going futile one after another, the only adage that keeps ringing in the ears, that gives the fighter some solace and patience to keep himself focussed, is - "When the going gets tough, the tough get going".
Every business is filled with ups and downs. The phase which takes your business down, is always the one that will end up as filteration process for your business. It filters your team that performs from the team that doesnt, strategies that work from strategies that do not, sectors which generate cash from those that need to be shut down etc. Its this phase which takes you to higher levels of performance and elegance, higher levels of responsibility and intellect, higher levels of business acumen and PR abilities. It fine tunes you for the next growth phase of your business.
But can everybody go through this phase. In two cases you can. Either 'you' are a "tough individual" or you are working with a "tough individual". (hence the adage holds true).
Then the question arises - Who is a "tough individual"? He can be defined as "An individual with the ability to envision, chalk out a step by step action plan, take wise decisions and stand by them until visions turn reality and smooth road arrives again. A person who can keep the entire team motivated even when the business is running under loss, yet every team player feels, that paychecks are just pouring without breaks. Just that they are'nt reaching home, but they soon will." ('they' refers to paychecks)
These Tough Individuals are a benediction in disguise for all the people working with them, who believe in the ray of hope that the Tough Individuals have to offer. Once the things get going and smooth roads arrive, the team would have learnt the qualities of patience, hard work, being passionate about work & not fretting over results and ultimately would have become the so called "Tough Individuals" themselves. Hence, any further tough phases can be handled by this new breed of Tough Individuals.
The tough individuals, actually through their strong self motivation, diligence, innovations crack through the route map to smoother roads and make it easier for all the rest of them to drive through to success.
Thats why, I believe in the extension of the primitive adage and say "When going gets tough, the tough get going. Once the tough get going, for the rest, the going gets easier."
Readers must be wondering that this has application only in business not in other arenas of life. My dear friends, its equally applicable everywhere else. Just that the followers in this case are your friends, family, relatives and you yourself. You just get tougher and tougher with each such passing phase and your example and accomplishment makes life much easier for the rest around you.
So, Are you a tough individual? If yes, great going. If no, attach yourself with one :-)
(Note: This article is from my real life experience. Trust me, I have become much tougher than I was, in every arena of my life.)
Hope this article helped you invest your time in a constructive direction. The returns on this investment would surely be very high.(thats my commitment).

Time just ticks by. tick! tick! tick! tick!
The adage "time and tide wait for none" used to sound so simple to memorise and score that 1 mark in my childhood. I never understood why they valued this adage and made us memorise it, when it was so simple.
Today at this point of my life, when I see myself loaded with loads of visions and dreams in my eyes, I see that, I have kept targets lined up for me at different age points of my life, its then I find myself running short of time for the amount of things I need to accomplish. Everytime a second goesby, it sends back a realisation to me - that, I need to express gratitude to my school teachers, for, they made me memorise an invaluable adage.
The amount of time we have is limited. None of our days will expand beyond 24 hours. Even if life expectancy assumed, is 70 yrs. 70*365*24 hours=6,13,200 hours totally, is what you get. On an average if a man sleeps for 6 hours a day and needs 2 hours for his daily habits 4,04,300 hours are the productive hours left in hand.
So Just ask yourself how many have you spent already from this bank balance of yours and how much is remaining in your balance. Please make sure you spend this very carefully and purchase assets in life than spending it on liabilities.
Trust me my dear frinds, we all make choices. Its a personal choice to either cut down on our dreams and take time off to relax and spend a lot of it on liesure and entertainment, (the one that offers temporary joy) or make a wise choice to spend in a wise way on steps towards your goals and dreams. When you enjoy the steps towards your dreams and goals so much, that they become entertaining and keep you on toes 24/7, then you deserve to spend hours on leisure and entertainment. Its a choice we make. Most of the people say they didnt have enough time for doing big things. (I tend to disagree with them)

Time is just ticking by.
tick! tick! tick! tick! tick! tick!
Have a great life ahead. Happy spending:-)
