It's a common sight, that people are busy thinking, planning & imagining. But my dear friends, at the end of the day, what really counts is how much has been done, not how much was thought over.
When we leave this planet earth and meet the almighty (if this is true) the things that we would be rewarded for, are not how well & how much we thought or how well & how much we imagined. We would rather be awarded for how well and how much we did.
It's yet another common occurence, that we hear people speak words/phrases like: "I also thought the same", "In fact, I had the same idea.","I was just going to do that.", "I had almost thought the same thing","I had a better plan"... All in vain. One who does, DOES IT & DESERVES IT!
Thinkers are blinkers. They are confused thats why they do not take steps further. It's true that thinking and planning is the foundation for any action. But, remember the objective of the foundation is to hold the building, not exist for/by itself. ~ Sujit Lalwani
So my dear readers, I am aware that your mind is a storehouse of thoughts/ideas/imaginations. Put the resource in place, work out your plan and make a start. Run time issues, requirements & problems can be understood, corrected and solved only if you start running.
First idea, second idea, third one - all in a row can be utter failures and you might be told and made to feel that you aint capable. Rememeber the fourth one could be the breakthrough you were looking for and majority of the times, that is the case. So let today be the day when you start. In fact, RIGHT NOW!
GET, SET... GO!!!
PS: Drop in your idea/plan/plan of action in the comments column. If am of help, I shall surely do the needful.

11 Powerful Lines For 2011!!!
Some selected quotes on my blog, after a long time. One blog dedicated to just quotes:
1. People say, people can't change. I think a better version is: "people can change. It's just easier for them not to"
2. You never know how strong you are, until being strong is the only option left!
3. Life is too short to stress up with people who don't deserve to be in your life.
4. The bad news is that time flies. The good news is that you are the pilot.
5. Pay no attention to what people say. Pay very close attention to what people do.
6. Never underestimate people, For, everyone is given something that other people don't have.
7. We all die. The goal isn't living forever. The goal is to create something that will.
8. Lose your pride, Lose your patience, Lose your mind. But whatever the case maybe, NEVER LOSE HOPE!
9. Sometimes what holds you together & what tears you apart are the SAME things!
10. Every tear has it's reason, Every smile has a season!
11. SMILE!!! Let everyone know you are a lot stronger than you were yesterday!
I truly Hope these 11 lines make your 11th year of this millenium a super hit!!!
Which one striked you the most? Please comment!

Patience is the key to success!
©Copyrights 2010, Sujit Lalwani.
"A mighty success follows only after a mighty test of patience.
Failure is sure to have been preceeded by failure of patience."
* Amount of Success in life:
S(L) = k x e^(t x T^(n))
* Amount of success in particular dimension:
S(D)= k x e^(t x T^(1))= k x e^(t x T)
t=length of time for which patience was tested.
T=toughness of the test.
n=No of dimensions in which your patience was tested like family, career etc.(n>=1)
Amount of success is exponentially related to the length of time for which your patience was tested and how tough the test was. Whenever you are being tested hard and longer - just remember to keep going. The Left hand side of the equation will increase for sure and as the test keeps going longer and harder, the reward multiplies.
There comes a time when the break point of every dimension is reached & the time & toughness cease to grow. Thats where god loses patience and wants to reward you. The rewards start materialising. Miracles are product of this equation when our Patience does not break until God loses patience. Wherever and whenever our patience takes a pause to resume, we are rewarded our results.
The greater the pause and longer the dip we take back on the curve. Ensure your breaks are small and they dont pull you down and you are back into activity.
This blog is just an output of my love for physics and patience I have to conjure ideas and put them into mathematics, trying to satisfy all expected/unexpected conditions. Since I need 2 end the blog, my patience could not last until I could
materialise every aspect of this equation/theory completely.
The rewards would be given right away. I resume to this theory, and will contemplate deeper. This pause shall be as short as the amount of time you would take to reward me good comments:)
Anyways, thanks for the patience of reading this blog.

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.

Inevitable qualities for a leader! Mark yourself out of 10 for each. Target reaching 10/10 someday.
Read this with patience. The length of this article is too small in front of the strength it can give you. So be patient.
You are reader no.:
These are a few qualities for a leader to possess, if he/she wants to be a quality leader. Leadership is all about leading your team to greater heights, which happens by elevating yourself to heights.
Most leaders are bothered by this question, am I leading well. Mentors are surely the greatest help we could have got to solve this question for ourselves. But self-evaluation is as important as having a mentor. The Following is list of qualities which will help you evaluate yourself. Mark yourself monthly/biweekly against each of these qualities (out of 10). This system would help you if you ensure you are honest to yourself. It will orient your self-analysis and give it a foundation.
The following article also contains a slight hint on acquiring these qualities. Its against "Howto:" under each quality.
Qualities a leader must possess :
1. Analytical- A great leader, must have great analytical skills. He must be able to anticipate outcomes, analyse the problems, offer different strokes for different folks. What misses the eye of most is caught by a great leader.
Howto: To develop this just spend a little more time understanding things, than jumping to conclusions too quickly. Also ensure you keep solving some puzzles. That keeps your brain cells active.
2. Self-driven - A great leader leads himself. Does not need a motivator always. He knows his purpose clear and can walk as many extra miles, to achieve it.
Howto: To be self driven, Your purpose needs to clear and you need to reinforce in yourself, infinite number of times.
3. Aggression - A great leader does not always pamper his team. He knows "spare the rod, and spoil the child". But over aggression is also harmful. You need to strike a balance.
Howto: Anything that you can pretend for first 30 days, becomes your habit. If you have never been aggresive before, observe successful people who possess aggression. (It needs to be used only when required)
4. Assertiveness - A great leader is assertive in his communication.
Howto:Know your points clearly. Know your objectives clearly. Be honest. If you do these you will automatically be assertive.
5. Domineering - A great leader knows how to get things done from his team.
Howto: Its important that a leader commands respect for his commands. Never demand. You need to be domineering if you need to push your team out of comfort zone.
6. Self-Confident - Confident about his strengths and ideas.
Howto: This comes with clarity about what you sell. Know your product and the benefits of the product without slightest of ambiguity. Also understand your target market clearly.
7. Outspoken - A great leader should not be reserved. Reserved people make no leaders.
Howto: Start interacting more with strangers. Start listening more and communicate to people you know. Slowly once you get into the tune of placing your opinion in front of people without fear, you will have this quality.
8. Warm & Friendly - Professionals also want friends after all. Nothing great if a person can find a friend in a leader itself. A great leader knows to draw the line between being too friendly and too professional.
Howto: Be yourself with your team sometimes, you will make a great friend.
9. Chamelion like (in a positive way)- you must know how to adapt to situations in seconds. Hence being carried away by a particular mood for too long is not the trait of a great leader.
Howto: Upto the reader to observe and learn.
10. Good with numbers - A great leader cannot be weak at calculations. Accounts are the foundation stone of business. (ofcourse after people)
Howto: Practice daily accounting. Practice playing with numbers.
11. Problem Solver - A great leader can tackle problems like breaking open an egg. Its that easy for him. Just understand the right place to hit.
Howto: Start solving the problems of your people. Solve your own first ofcourse.
13. Flexible (not rigid) - A great leader does not keep his work timings rigid. You need to be sometimes available at odd times.
Howto: Break your mental barriers of time availability. Have true care for your team's progress.
14. Having a high sense of urgency - A great leader is not a slow coach. You need to be quick. The world is moving fast. You never cook today, and eat the following week. The issues in companies/organisations need to be sorted out then and there. Sales calls need to be made immediately. A delayed follow up call is surely a sale lost.
Howto: Keep reminding yourself about this everytime you are into activity.
15. Independent - Dependent people are not leaders. Dependent person can only lead until his source is actively leading him. Everything collapses once source collapses. Independent leaders are FIGHTERS, they know their role and visions.
Howto: Start being self dependent. Learn from mentors do it yourself. Picture yourself as an independent leader, and start practicising from, right now.
16. Strong Willed - Will power is very strong in a great leader. The ability to take decisions and stick to them until they are proven the best, is called will power. The ability to make things happen, not wait for them to happen.
Howto: YOU NEEDS GUTS. Strong willpower is inside all of us. PULL IT OUT!
17. Higher than average level street smart people - A leader should be really street smart to tackle out those extra intelligent people in the market who will try posing problems for you. Also be smart enough to elude the problems created by these people in the team who are hypocrits. Awareness about the world in general in all different fields is highly appreciated.
Howto: Just remember - "IF U R'NT UPDATED, U'LL GET OUTDATED"
18. Passionate about everything he does - A great leader can take his team through any kind of phases of the organisation/company, because passion has the power to glide things smoothly even on a nasty tide.
Howto: People love to be with people who can fill energy in them. Love what you do.
19. Energetic & ever enthusiastic - A great leader must act like a energy booster for the team. Every flight needs fuel. A leader is an infinite reservoir of positive energy for the team.
Howto: Surround yourself with such people. Be a person who follows his heart. Dont be affected by the mocking and comments of others. Know yourself. If there is a point doing something, its in doing it well and enthusiastically.
20. Possesses relaxed passion - Dont get too excited about things.
Howto: Do your homework on this. Relaxed passion is something where you are not desparate for praise neither vulnerable to comments of people.
21. Team Player - To lead a team you need to understand its dynamics, and hence a great leader is always a great team player.
Howto: Involve in the activities on the field with your team every now and then. Remember "Never do things, for your team Do it with them"
Patience - A great leader knows, Rome was not built in a day.
Howto: You are already having patience. Thats what got you to read this line.
I wish you a great future in leading. May you lead your team to the highest of the heights.
This article is the product of my journey of leading a versatile network today. My network has a huge diversity in terms of occupational backgrounds of people, their age groups, their intellect levels, place of stay etc. But the best part is we have a common vision, the growth of computer literacy of the country. We are all hardcore promoters of online computer education.(I lead an approximate active leaders team of 300+ people - through whom i manage a network of more than 6300 people).
PS : the qualities have not been listen in any order of importance. They are all important. All of them together complete a leader. If you are lacking a few of them, or are low on some of them. Its not a worry. Atleast you have got oriented and now your know what are your strengths and weakness.
"Maximise your strengths and minimise your weaknesses"
Feel free to comment. Hope this post helps you lead your team to success.

Wisdom Tip #1( For Success in life & Self Character building) - "One half of the world laughs at the other and the other at the former"
Everything is good or bad, noble or sin according to who you ask. What is one's passion, is hated by somebody else. What one pursues someone else persecutes. The person who becomes the most succesful and remains the happiest, is the one, who learns to regulate his ideas, and follows his heart. The person who pursues his passion to the fullest always takes the throne of success.
Disappointment should be miles away, even if an idea is rejected by a few, for you can be sure about the presence of those few others who will love your idea, and appreciate it. Someone's rejection should not put us down, neither should someone's praise push us on the ninth cloud, for we should know there are others who'll condemn. We should always learn never to be moved by a few opinions.
The challenge that should drive us, should be to win the appreciations of the experts in the field we are pursuing our ideas in. It is their opinion which should help us mentor ourselves. Anyone else is just going to increase your track record of either "acceptors" (A) or "rejectors" (R).
So remember friends if 50 tell you - "you are good" and the other 50 tell you - "you are bad". Know yourself! Dont fall for either of them. Take your passion to the highest limits and all will fall under your umbrella of success.
Final Thumbrule :
"Not all will be satisfied with you, on your journey to success. Someone somewhere will definitely be dissatisfied with you (could be your best frnd, parents or siblings also)".
"Once you reach pinnacles, everybody will be satisfied with you".
So have patience and don get disheartened by temporary disappointments of others.
jai hind!

A fantastic piece of text. Read this really carefully.
Dear leaders, this is something really awesome i came across.
Do read it carefully. Its just fantastic. Enjoy. Feel free to comment.
A story about recession.
This Story is about a man who once upon a time was selling "Wada-Pav" by the roadside.
He was illiterate, so he never read newspapers.
He was hard of hearing, so he never listened to the radio.
His eyes were weak, so he never watched television.
But enthusiastically, he sold lots of "Wada-pavs".
He was smart enough to offer some attractive schemes to increase his sales.
His sales and profit went up..
He ordered more a more raw material and buns and use to sale more.
He recruited few more supporting staff to serve more customers.
He started offering home deliveries. Eventually he got himself a bigger and better stove.
As his business was growing, the son, who had recently graduated from College, joined his father.
Then something strange happened.
The son asked, "Dad, aren't you aware of the great recession that is coming our way?"
The father replied, "No, but tell me about it." The son said, "The international situation is terrible.
The domestic situation is even worse. We should be prepared for the coming bad times."
The man thought that since his son had been to college, read the papers, listened to the radio and watched TV.
He ought to know and his advice should not be taken lightly.
So the next day onwards, the father cut down his raw material order and buns, took down the colorful signboard, removed all the special schemes he was offering to the customers and was no longer as enthusiastic.
He reduced his staff strength by giving layoffs.
Very soon, fewer and fewer people bothered to stop at his "Wada-Pav" stand.
And his sales started coming down rapidly, same is the profit.
The father said to his son, "Son, you were right".
"We are in the middle of a recession and crisis. I am glad you warned me ahead of time."
Moral of The Story: It's all in your MIND! And we actually FUEL this recession much more than we think we do!!!!!!!!!! !!
What can we take away from this story??
1. How many times we confuse intelligence with good judgment?
2. Choose your mentors carefully but use your own judgment
3. A person or an organization will survive forever, if they have the 5 Cs-
* CHARACTER
* COMMITMENT
* CONVICTION
* COURTESY
* COURAGE
The tragedy today is that there are many walking encyclopedias that are living failures.
The more practical and appropriate views on this economic recession is:
"This is the time to reunite together for any small or a big organization,
This is the time to motivate and retain people which are the biggest asset,
This is the time to show more commitments to the customers,
This is the time show values of our company to the world,
And this is the time to stand by our Nation".
My network has stood by this, and i am proud that in the so called
phase of my org. where most ppl were supposedly giving up. My network has
shown a very high sustainance rate. Kudos to my entire team of leaders.
Thank you all! And i promise we will keep rocking!
For, Its already on our mind..:):):)
Jai hind!

A story about recession.
This Story is about a man who once upon a time was selling "Wada-Pav" by the roadside.
He was illiterate, so he never read newspapers.
He was hard of hearing, so he never listened to the radio.
His eyes were weak, so he never watched television.
But enthusiastically, he sold lots of "Wada-pavs".
He was smart enough to offer some attractive schemes to increase his sales.
His sales and profit went up..
He ordered more a more raw material and buns and use to sale more.
He recruited few more supporting staff to serve more customers.
He started offering home deliveries. Eventually he got himself a bigger and better stove.
As his business was growing, the son, who had recently graduated from College, joined his father.
Then something strange happened.
The son asked, "Dad, aren't you aware of the great recession that is coming our way?"
The father replied, "No, but tell me about it." The son said, "The international situation is terrible.
The domestic situation is even worse. We should be prepared for the coming bad times."
The man thought that since his son had been to college, read the papers, listened to the radio and watched TV.
He ought to know and his advice should not be taken lightly.
So the next day onwards, the father cut down his raw material order and buns, took down the colorful signboard, removed all the special schemes he was offering to the customers and was no longer as enthusiastic.
He reduced his staff strength by giving layoffs.
Very soon, fewer and fewer people bothered to stop at his "Wada-Pav" stand.
And his sales started coming down rapidly, same is the profit.
The father said to his son, "Son, you were right".
"We are in the middle of a recession and crisis. I am glad you warned me ahead of time."

Giving up, can help you discover your passion sometimes!!!
We all have gone through this feeling of disinterest in something and it is when we decided to give up the possession of that thing. This is normal to do so. But when this gets applied to our dreams and careers, it yields results which get us more pain and disgust, rather than the joy of having reduced, the burden of upholding of a priority, which we were no more interested in. This often happens.
This happens when we are unable to make out that slight difference, between the disinterest that comes due to inability of doing something and fear of defeat in a field, and the disinterest that comes otherwise, for the mismatch of the thing we get disinterested in, with our attitudes. The former brings along the pain, which makes us just realise how much we were passionate about the thing we were just going to give up.
Some people call it an advantage to realise their true passions. Yes, indeed! but not by fully giving up and leaving no chance for re-entry at all! Mere thought of giving up something thats our passion, will bring in a real jostling between feelings inside us. Its at that moment you just need to remind yourself, refocus, repriotize and reorient towards goals and dreams and just move on not caring, whether you are enjoying it or not. You will soon see yourself as a rockstar.
I just realised this when i was about to say "henceforth, no orkutting" :-) Immediately, the thought made me run through all the feelings, where i had just loved being there for all the advantages it offered, and all of a sudden there was this feeling which pulled me back strongly! there could not have been a simpler application of the above theory!
It also applies when we are continously focussed on a target and after longtime when we have not gathered enough results, we just feel like giving up, (sometimes we just give up) and this feeling comes to our rescue. Its after this we need to understand, that we need to stick to this dream until it gets accomplished, for we have just discoverd our passion. For, those who giveup, seldom realise that they were really close to success when they give up. For, once you are beyond that feeling of giving up, is when you start living for and with your passion. Then you start RULING!!!
So, Discover your passion! and DONT GIVE UP!
