INFLUENCE Matters! So BEWARE of what is influencing YOU!

Friends - Life is a sum total of all experiences we go through.

Not going into too much of depth of psychology(as this a blog and not a book to be written), but still keeping the depth sufficient, I would love to share this aspect of all our lives that

It is natural to act on information that goes into our mind, that makes it's groove on our heads. The direction of action is aligned to the path of the groove on our mind. Majority of the times even we do not understand a few decisions we take, they are a result of what beliefs we have formed over years due to the circumstances we were a part of, things we have read, people we have listened or things we have listened to (tv, radio, videos etc), things we have seen(movies, incidents etc.) or people we surrounded ourselves with.

What I essentially try to convey through this is that not all are born with or develop the ability to ensure they keep away from negative influences or they don't let negative things influence them. It doesn't affect you when your will power is strong or the positive things that have influenced you already are way too large & deep in their influence than the negative ones can be.

By positive i refer to things that lead to your progress, growth, they have positive impact on the society, they have their foundation in positive and cultured values, they are fruitful towards the progress of the world and society at large. By negative I refer to those that lead to inculcating anti-social qualities and negative habits in you.

What I intend to convey from here is that ensure:

1. You keep yourself in the company of good people, who are well informed, educated, positive, energizing, have positive attitudes, optimistic, have good leadership qualities, have positive habits, have vision and make most of their time.

2. Watch serials, sitcoms, movies, videos, documentaries that essentially give you a direction a quality message, knowledge, information etc. Keep away from films that project unnecessary glamour, over philosophical stuff, excessive violence, negative traits (jealousies, frustrations, depressions, drug addictions). Since it's not a possibility to invest time on things that are devoid of these things in today's world - Put your best efforts to ensure till you are capable of inferring right things and not getting negatively influenced just because it has been glamorized on screen(small/big - sitcoms or movies). Movies may reflect someone's life, it may not have things applicable to your life. Know all, but decide what suits yours. Don't be over moved by something, don't not learn things.

3. Read stuff that can make you feel good about yourself. Read stuff that can inspire you, that can build your knowledge, make you positive, strong, wise, help you build depth, and diversity in your perceptions. Engaging in reading about crime, murders, rapes, thefts etc. (regularly might only keep those running on your minds!

4. Be part of events, conversations, programs, meetings, friend circles that can have positive influences in your life, build your wisdom, help you progress, makes you feel up and progressing. Don't be parts of conversations that are about bitching about others, talking things that make absolute non-sense, corrupt, vulgar, (sound cool, but are not) etc.

Majority of the times people surrender to being a part of things that their peers are involved in, it hurts later when you discover that there are better ways of living. So next time you are involved in a group of people who are all doing similar things, do not conclude that it's the way of life. Find out if that has adverse effects, any advantages, if it can help you move forward, feel positive and feel good about yourself(not temporarily).

Just to ensure you are friends with someone do not try and do things you will only regret later.

Hope this blog helps you be conscious of what you are feeding your mind with, for, what goes in comes out! Feed your mind right for right actions to come out of you.

HAPPY LIFE! MAY YOU LIVE THE MOST HAPPENING LIFE!

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.

When going gets tough, The tough get going. Once the tough get going, for the rest, the going gets easier.

U R Reader No.:

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)

"When you know how to squeeze every single second of your life pushing yourself closer to your dreams, time will expand for you" - sujit lalwani

This article is open to comments. Elaborate writing on this would not be helpful. Stop reading this and start doing something.

Time is just ticking by.

tick! tick! tick! tick! tick! tick!

Have a great life ahead. Happy spending:-)

(Bank balance - 6,13,200/- How much is your expense till date? how much is your balance today? its time to plan your "Budget of LIFE")

Miscellaneous.

Its been long time since I blogged. This gap actually created a gap on my mind, when i was trying to type down a nice worthy title for this one. When I could not hit upon anything creative, I just decided to keep the title - "MISCELLANEOUS" and a whole new article followed.

There is a very profound lesson behind what I just mentioned above. The same happens with us in our careers and to many on the path to success(be it in any field). When we are not in touch, with the work we are supposed to carry out, we lose the swiftness of performance, which slowly makes us even more sluggish, which leads to greater loss of flow of our activity(activity with respect to the career each of us have), which leads to a loss of self-confidence and thereby leading to greater inactivity levels and finally leading to defeat/failure/ceasure/downfall/dead-end.

The only solution to this continuing chain reaction which leads from one lead to another, is one "Miscellaneous" link, which is activity in real terms. Do something, but kick start your activity in the direction you were heading. It cannot start from the place where you left, but a miscellaneous beginning will lead to increased enthusiasm leading to greater excitement, leading to structuring of your thoughts, which leads to planned action finally leading to victory/destination/success/smooth-journey towards your goals.

Hence this blog is just a start point for my further blogs to pour in.

Hope this helped you.

Just in case you are sliding into the inactivity chain in your life in any arena, My sincere advice - "Stop Wondering where to begin from, Start DOING SOMETHING! in the direction of your goals & You will soon reach your earlier momentum."

KEEP WALKING! Persistence is the only key to success.

Few great quotes! If you comprehend them well, you can design a better future.

Few more great quotes, that are changing my life, and the way I see things drastically. Great tools for self-reinforcement. Read through them carefully, and everyday, until they sink deep down every blood cell of your body.

1. Wanting success is common to all, Working for success is common to winners!
2. Not everything that can be counted counts, Not everything that counts can be counted. - Albert Einstein.
3. We never remember days, We always remember moments.
4. People forget how fast you do something, They only remember how well you do something.
5. Until you become a leader, success is all about growing youself, Once you become a leader succes is all about growing others.
6. Leader has to be practical & Realist, But should talk the language of a visionary and an idealist.
7. Pull the string and it follows you wherever you go. Push it and it goes nowhere.
8. If what you are doing is not taking you towards you goal, Then it surely is taking you away from your goal.
9. We never see things as they are , We always see things as we are.
10. It is easy to change your perception, than to change the reality. Once you change your perception, you can change the reality.

Hope you enjoyed reading them. Do read them over and over again, until you have them on your tongue and on your most active brain cells to make the most out of them. Leave a note about your favourites among these in the comments column.

Keep walking! Keep smiling! God bless you!

Wish you great success in life.
