Let us lead ourselves. Rest follows!

Every one is a born leader. Some people lead more people, some people cant lead themselves. The secret to be able to lead a lot of other people, is to lead yourself every single day into becoming a better individual each day.

Look at the required circumstances in your life & your role in life, work each day towards getting your abilities, qualities, attitudes closer to what your ultimate role in life is going to be. Anything that takes you away from that role/purpose is going to cause pain & is temporary in life. Focus more on permanent joys of life not the temporary ones.

So dear friends, lead yourself really well & you shall inspire every individual who comes in contact with you for even a small fraction of your life. It does not matter whether the person is small or big, achiever or loser, wealthy or poor, master or slave, naive or clever, he will be inspired with you to an extent you cannot imagine.

Lets lead ourselves in the best way possible & we shall lead masses.

Very thin line between Expectation & Belief

They say when you teach once, you have learnt it twice. While talking to one of my associates, I just learnt this lesson twice (:)) while teaching him, that there is a very thin line between Expectation & Belief.

"Whatever you believe in very strongly endlessly, shapes up into reality" - is what the great Law Of Attraction has to say. This has been true. But many people are'nt able to believe in this, for, their beliefs dont turn into reality. According to my experience either the belief was not believed in very strongly, not visualised very strongly or had boubts hidden underneath it. Impure beliefs turn half way around.

Mind is a strong tool for success in life. You need to believe in your dream until it turns into reality. Visualise exactly the way you want it to come true. Work towards it. Many people think adventure is lost this way. No, friends its more adventurous this way. The destination is clear & path is explored totally unkonwn & unexpected. Because when you are believing in the unexpected & an impossible dream, obstacles in the journey are big. When you keep going through that hell, enjoying all challenges you face on the journey, miracles shape up unexpectedly to make things happen.

This is as far as belief is concerned. Expectations only lead to disappointment. Because expectations have deadlines. The thin line between belief & expectation is:
Belief is "It will be this way". Expectation is "It Should be this way by this time".

Expectations lead to disappointment as we all have at one point or the other in our lives have faced.

But the catch here is to go through the hell, the journey of belief turning reality portrays. At one point things might all look like going against you, but thats when the new equilibrium is getting established for your dreams to turn into reality exactly the way you visualised. The process of difficulties is the fight between your future expectations & present circumstances. So turn those expectations into belief & then feel positive about every step on the journey & destination shall be yours.

All the best. Lets believe in our dreams. Dreams are the most beautiful elements of an exciting life. Everything looks beautiful when you have lot of dreams & lot of hope that they will get fulfilled. Everything looks dull as the hope reduces & as you kill your dreams one by one.

May this blog re-instill that hope in you for all your dreams to get fulfilled, turn all your expectations into beliefs, turn down disappointments, instill positivity & hope in you, make your life thouroughly adventurous.

Good luck. Needless to say My comments column is waiting to know what you felt, thought & decided while reading this.

My talk at NITK Surathkal.

Dreams do come true in the way you envision, provided you stay stuck to them, longer then people believe or can digest that you should stay stuck to that dream. Once you stay stuck to your dream, universe brings you face to face with the right people, aligns perfect circumstances and ensures your dream turns into reality following the principle of "UNDER PROMISE OVER DELIVERY".

I am not talking philosophy, I am talking my experience. It was just last thursday - 29th Of April (which happens to be my Bhabhi's Birthday (birthday of my elder brother's wife(for all my non-indian readers))When i was invited to my college NITK Suratkal to deliver an inspirational cum entrepreneurship talk to students in ATB Seminar Hall of the college. The seminar hall where companies that come for recruitment conduct their Aptitude tests and deliver their presentations.

It was during my college days that I never sat for placements, for my stern belief in myself that I shall take on entrepreneurship in my life. I was advised by a number of friends of mine to take up placements, atleast for the sake of it. I kept telling myself then, a day will come when i will come & deliver presentations of my company over here for recruitment & people will sit to listen, I will come to deliver inspirational & entrepreneurship talks here. I will be the only alumni to get invited as the youngest alumni ever invited back to college to deliver a talk.



It just happened - Right people - Thanks to Rheana John & Akhila. These two gave their heart, mind & soul into making this a reality. Circumstances - My Mangalore(a place in coastal karnataka) trip around the same time. Enough achievments of mine - One young world delegate, lions club awardee etc. before this date. And eventually the dream materialises. Thanks to Gaurav Shetty - a friend of mine from KSHEMA College in Mangalore pursuing his MBBS, who made this whole journey to NITK from Mangalore look like a cake walk, thanks to his Maruti Suzuki Esteem & the well functioning AC of his car.

I step into the college, everything looks the same, the main building, classrooms etc, but the air was really different. It carried a different feeling. It carried a touch which was embracing me as an achiever and bestowing pride in me. It was carrying those unspoken words which I spoken to myself, sitting outside the hostel gate on the steps, that I would soon come to this college to deliver talks. Department teachers, Director Students etc would know me. You alone never can make things happen. I shall owe a lot to Rheana & Akhila for helping this vision turn reality.

The Talk went on as expected, I had this feeling deep down during all 4 years when i studied at NITK, that it can be a collection of world class individuals if students could adopt a few world class attitudes. I never had the authority to convey this then. But glad I could make a difference to few lives out of over 200+ students present in the hall.

I were a true definition for a winner & my feelings could define winning at the moment I completed my talk.

I just request my readers through this blog not to hesitate to dream the wildest dreams, sometimes even practically impossible, For, they do come true & they are the ones that carry a feeling only a few men experience. A feeling of esctacy, a feeling of having climbed Mt.Everest, A feeling of landing on the moon - A feeling so priceless.

Dont let your dreams die out of fears that the world sets in or the parameters the world decides. Explore within yourself, there is a vast potential that lies, yet to unleash which has the power to help accomplish your dream. If the dream could take birth inside you, it simply means you also have required resource inside you.

DREAM! EXPLORE! EXPLODE!

Service sector can be a great part-time. Careers are multi-fold today, but to eyes which can see it.

Since childhood till death, today man is in a continuous chase to plan his next move, decide which field to step into, what career to take up, what should he represent in this world, what should he/she be known for. I am one in this pursuit as well.

What I realised, as I stand today, having spent close to 23 years of my life, is that, when you go deep into this aspect of life, have a broader look at it, there are 4-types of people, as Robert. T. Kiyosaki mentions in his books. People belonging to E,S,B or I quadrants.

  1. E - employees.
  2. S - Self employed.
  3. B - Business owners.
  4. I - Investors.

But there are innumerous branches to these four today. Gone are the days, when there used to be well-defined terms and paths for an individual for surviving and coming out as a winner. Entrepreneurship has re-defined everything.

Engineers, doctors, scientists alone were the need of the times of industrial revolution. Its not that the need for these experts has reduced. But automation is the word for the day, machines are being built which are reducing the man-power required. This is reducing the number of jobs available. I agree that number of companies coming up is also increasing, number of new sectors opening up are also increasing, hence the diversity of jobs is increasing. But the irony is, the pace of the latter is slower compared to the number of people graduating today. Millions of graduates every year but not millions of vacancies.

My realisation tells me that the world has hyped up the amount of recognition that goes to engineers, doctors, CAs etc. that the rest are suffering at the hands of making attempts to become the same, when their real talent lies somewhere else sometimes. I urge my friends to re-think their career options. New talent for the world would come into light.

Options are just multiplying today, but irony is people are not giving a thought to it. There is a mad race for the set up career options. Thinking out of the box is the demand for the day.

Entrepreneurship looks like one major ray of hope for all the people looking forward for a change, or are under-capable for the expertise for jobs available, or for people who have big dreams and willing to take risk. Jumping into the service sector to chase your way up the ladder of success is not a bad option as you can accumulate enough knowledge, skills and capital to do something on your own while you pursue a part-time in the service sector.

The career options are really increasing, Careers in teaching, singing, dancing, art & craft etc. network marketing industry is giving options, Hobbies turning into profession, food industry, restaurants, Unique hang outs etc, teaching of soft skils, specialised institutions for it etc. The best part of being a coach in any of these directions is something that gives a flexibility to you to do it part-time. You can 'write' in your part-time and get paid for it. There are innumerous magazines, news-papers etc, they need writers. Start for free and then once you are quite popular you can always charge.

One of my part-time careers is inspirational speaking, I write, I counsel people, I offer consultancy for business ideas etc. All this as my hobby and part-time right now. All these directions have the capacity to get me paid & there is immense satisfaction in all these directions as I serve a lot of people here. I am into network marketing as well (part-time/full-time as per my necessity). Which is a strong base for my finances right now.

I just want to convey to my readers, that you in your free time can do loads if you know what you are strong at and start nurturing it and one day you might own an enterprise which employs a lot of people who do the same. Dance schools, soft-skills schools, english coaching institutes, Singing schools, calligraphy classes, cooking classes, art and craft classes, art galleries, etc are all innovations which can be explored in your part-time. Meanwhile you can nurture your knowledge, skills and attitudes and generate a capital for something you want to stand for in the coming tomorrow.

These were the thoughts on my mind. I am sure this blog would have given you direction to think in this direction for yourself, or for your relatives, or for your friends. It will surely be of help and we are creative enough to come up with solutions if someone can orient us. This blog is meant as an orientation.

Urgent Blood Requirement - Immediate Solution!

Its been a long time since this thought of blogging about this legendary intiative has lingered on my head. Finally the thoughts on my mind have taken the shape of this blog. I am talking about this site -
www.ebizblooddonation.com.
This initiative of eBIZ.Com Pvt. Ltd. is truly worth appreciating.

The site is extremely user-friendly, designed to serve the purpose under crisis situations of need of blood. Its happened a number of times to all of us, that we recieve an sms stating that someone's friend or close relative is in need of blood of a particular blood group & we should oblige to forward the message to all our friends. They forward this in a hope that their need would be served but all in vain.

Many a times the message does not reach the people who have the required blood group, or even if it does they may not be willing to donate or they may not be available. For the sms to reach a person of same blood group is merely dependent on luck. We all know its a very hard feeling to know that the life of our close ones is left dependent on LUCK(in urgent requirements). None of us would want that to happen to our closed ones.



In such instances many of us think, something should be done about this. But most of us forget it as the time goes by, or some of us who carry the thought for a few more days, dont actually find ourselves accoutured with the right ideas/tools to implement this.

In this scenario a visionary organisation eBIZ.Com Pvt. Ltd, which is a network of associates who learn, teach and promote online computer education and provide people with a platform for financial self dependency, has taken an initiative to Launch a website - www.ebizblooddonation.com which caters to the need of the person in need of blood of any blood group from any part of our country.

The below animation very clearly explains this very self explanatory site. All you need to do is just type in the details of the area and city you are in, and you can find a list of donors with their contact numbers. Just dial them instantly and you have atleast one donor available.



I am sure by now you agree with me this is something thats worth blogging about when I know this blog is being read by a lot of people. Hope this would help you help your friends in need in the coming tomorrow. My earnest request to every reader, take out five minutes of time and complete your registration and let as many people know about this.

Thank You. If ever in the future you have an example where this helps you or your friend please feel free to promptly remember this blog and put down a testimonial in the comments column. Thank You:)

PS: I hope this blog saves some lives and becomes a testimonial to this vision.
