All it takes is just ONE decision. To rise up, to fall down. To make money, to lose it all. To be a leader or lead the fall. To be a human or not at all.
To show your greatness or expose your moral. To be worshiped by mates or ignored by all.
To make a right one or make one right, all it takes is just ONE decision.
Saturday nite i saw hundreds of people gathered to fill gas b4 its rise of Rs.5/lt. There were fights, frustration, panic, traffic jams, kids crying, puking and everything that you could term as Negative Vibes. With an almost empty tank i thought to myself.......
If i full my tank (30lts) I'd be saving 30x5=Rs.150.00. To save that 150 i'll have to spend 120 mins of my PRECIOUS time in that Negative Environment. I chose not to and rather scheduled a biz meet that got me a 5 figures profit. On my way back, seeing the same rush still there, I just thought to my self......
Only if people realized how valuable their time was, they'd have all the money they ever wanted. Rs. 150 would have been my savings for 35 liters. I saw bike guys there. The max they would save is 60 to 100 bucks. One movie in PVR costs 1.5 times that money. I could see the biggest challenge with our mindset. We still follow HERD MENTALITY.
Its time to change this. Or it'll be too late for our kids.
Give this a thought !

I’ve met many who love sleeping. Me included. Sleeping is such an amazing way to burn calories. Its so peaceful. You are the king. Using our mind we could make an entire army follow our command, have a chocolate factory for real (in my dream), live in that dream home, drive that dream car, have that dream vacation and what not. Its just so amazing. I can have, be, do anything I want. And just when I’m about to enjoy that dream ……….
TTTTTTRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
THE ALARM CLOCK STRUCK !
Some instantly lose it and bang it to silence, some deep asleep take a while to do the same. But a question came to my mind one morning. The morning when I lost it and actually banged my alarm to permanent silence. I was woken up just after 2hrs of sleep that I had after 40hours of work.
I’m guessing it was my heart that asked me - Why did you bang the alarm to death ? It was YOU who bought it. YOU who set it. Why did you bang the clock and not YOURSELF ?
For once I started to think with my heart. I was dead tired working all day yesterday. I knew I was far away from living my dreams with what I was doing. Was frustrated. Everyday I would dream of my dreams that I badly wanted to come true. Sleep was the only place I could see them, feel them, experience them. And then I started to sleep more. This was more COMFORTABLE to do. I was beginning to get very very serious to achieve my dreams. But in my dreams. I was almost on the verge of BELIEVEING that it was not possible to live my dreams in reality. Everything around me had started to make me feel I was just becoming a robot. A robot who has 3 Remote controls. One used by the family to get what they want, one used by the BOSS to get what he wants and one used by the Society to make me who they want me to be.
And just when I thought I had lost complete control over me……….something amazing happened. The pain I was going thru triggered the REAL ALARM.
THE REAL ALARM
We all come in this world with a objective to achieve. This objective is a mixture of Mental, Physical, Emotional, Financial & Spiritual experience we want to have, that we decide before we come. The REAL ALARM is set at this point of time. For each of the experiences, there has been an alarm set by US/GOD (Considering we are not different from god and have him in every cell of our being, as per the Veda’s.)
Now the job of this ALARM is to go off every time we are going off from our track. Now the question is how does this alarm sound ? and how do I recognize it is for me ?
From the time we are born till the age of 8yrs, it is said that we develop our ‘critical filters’ (a technical term for the filter that helps us decide between the right and the wrong). This filter is shaped mostly by the mindsets of people around us. The way they react to a certain action or situation. Now if you are born among people who have lived an inspired life, either by being an inspiration to others or being inspired, your critical filter will have developed in the way it is supposed to be. The way it would lead you to the fulfillment of your life plan. Behind our filter is our subconscious. The same which is connected to the creator. But, most of us are not lucky to be born in such families. Rather such inspirational families are rare in todays world.
As kids we all have shared the great things we want to do when we grow up. The number of things starts to reduce with the age picking up. By the time we are 12-14yrs, we fix our eyes on a couple of things out of that list. This is when the world considers us to be a LITTLE matured (Sad but true. Maturity is often considered to be thinking like others do or within the limits of possibility, which is again defined by fellow humans) This is the time when we share our dreams with our friends in school. I’m sure if you remember your best friend from school, you would remember he sharing with you what he/she wanted to become. Our friends are the first and the foremost ALARM for us. It is they who ask us how close we are or how serious we are to becoming what we declared we would.
Most of our friends just ask us once or twice and then based on our ignoring their reminder fade out with time. However, some get a little annoying. They get annoying coz they make fun of our commitment to what we said we would become and didn’t. It is these annoying friends who live up to their real purpose of being alarms in our life. And what do we do with such friends ? We ridicule, abuse, call them names and what not. This is when we begin to Snooze our ALARM.
Spend some time reflecting on the above. And do share if you have a point of view……while I prepare the second part of this blog ! There, we’ll look at other ways how we are reminded of our Goals or the Other ALARM.
To be contd……
This Blog is an inspiration I got from a book/movie – Conversations With God by Neil Donald Walsch. A phrase in this book/movie that inspired me to share this story from my life was -
God is always answering your questions. But are you listening ?
Why GOD won't give me what I want ?
This question had become my mantra at one point in my life. If thoughts had an Olympics, this one would have beaten the others hands down for running for years together NON STOP.
So allow me to share my insights on this one – Why GOD won't give me what I want !
Indian conditions….. How many of us would pull out a 100 buck out of our wallet, when we see a beggar ? If some of you said “I WOULD” .. my next question – How many times ?
What if you had millions of property. Had 3 kids. One a useless, 2nd spends their life in serving others live better, is blessed by all and loved by all. 3rd very smart and very intelligent, earns a great income for themselves and their family, but don’t really care much for the others & 2 siblings. Lives a very selfish-Rich life. How would you divide your millions among them ?
When I got this question, I felt like I was being forced into the shoes of Bruce Almighty. My answer was fast and simple. I’d give 70% to the 2nd kid and empower him/her to help more in need, 10% to the good earner and 20% to the useless just to give him more time to realize his true calling. Then there was silence.
I actually cried when I gave this answer. Coz this was the answer even god would give. I always believed god is within. Now I had experienced that. God is answering all the time. Due to the noise with in and noise with out I just could not hear him. When some one is far away you need that person to shout for us to hear. But when that person in with in, its just a Whisper. Can YOU hear the whisper ?
I now understood why I did not have what I wanted. Like a BEGGAR I was just asking but did nothing to create value in the lives of people around me. There is only so little much a beggar gets. Abundance doesn’t always mean tons of money. It means tons of VALUE. Once you create Value you don’t have a choice. you will be weighed in Gold !
Ask yourself this question…… If god gave you an choice between a New birth with a billion or a Reincarnation of Mother Teresa, Edison, Einstein, Mandela, Gandhi. What would you choose ?
My dearest friends, God is answering all our questions. All we need to do is just invest some time with him in SILENCE. SILENT WITHIN & SILENT WITHOUT. All of the great men whose name I mentioned above have said just one thing. FOLLOW YOUR HEART. That my friend is the voice of GOD !
Now you could do 2 things. Close this window, get back to Facebook or what ever your monitor has to show you…….or……..Close your EYES. And see what GOD has in store for you.
I thank Dato Vijay Eswaran, My distant Mentor and Guide for writing “In The Sphere of Silence”. The last 3 years in this silence has helped me understand my biggest strengths and weaknesses.
I’m glad, I now can HEAR GOD WHISPER !
In-Service – CD
After starting my new life as a entrepreneur (3+yrs back), I learnt what life actually meant. I realized how tough it was to take decisions and stick by them no matter what. Initially I had a few friends with me but then once they dropped out it was not easy for me to stick around ALONE. The word ALONE, sounds scary in business. Specially when you starting up. More so, if you have a reputation of changing your job like you do with jockey’s (I’m not promoting this brand).
Its tough. Only a few friends who really understood me knew why I changed so many jobs. For you all I now officially disclose the reason. I was in a SEARCHING MODE. Something like searching a time bomb. That’s ticking and I need to find it before its too late. That time bomb was any job that gave me Peace, Contentment, Bliss and LOTS of Money. I then realized that I was looking for an Ostrich (Peace, Contentment, Bliss and LOTS of Money) in the Himalayas (JOB). A lot of friends told me that they found their Ostrich in the Himalayas. That’s what got me to the Himalayas.
They were not wrong. They did find their ostrich. Just that it looked like a miniature version FOR ME. Coz the one I had in mind was a huge one. I was laughed at by 99% of my friends and family for having dreamt of owning a BIG Ostrich. Some even told me they didn’t exist. Or only those born rich were allowed to have it.
I then started my search for those who had the one I wanted. Coz I was sure only they knew where to find it and how to catch it. As ‘The Secret’ says .. you get what you looking for If you are serious about it. I found them. So thrilled I was that I called few friends over to see the BIG birds ! None turned up. So I went alone. I met the big people who had not one or two but many such big birds. And they lived a life of true abundance. So now my journey started as a seeker. A seeker who had forgotten who he was, what he was. Just there with an empty head to learn.
The first lesson I had to learn was to understand who I was and what I wanted to do in life. Pretty easy right ? … not really. I had to understand who I was according to me. Not according to what people around me felt I was. I had to let go of the prejudice I had started to develop about myself thanks to all the people around. And then I had to re-connect with my dream. MOOKA: my dream project that I started living for but it had started to die slowly. A 100+Cr project (will write about it some other time soon).
Then I had to understand the most important lesson of my life. Yes it’s the topic of this blog. 160yrs v/s 40yrs. So what is this all about ?
This is reality. At least for 96+% of the world (now % reducing fast). The majority feel, to achieve our dreams (catch a BB) we have to go to the Hims.
One generation (grand father) goes there. Spends 40yrs looking for the BB, doesn’t find it. But at the end of 40yrs returning empty handed is against the Male EGO. So, any ways they never shared how big the BB they going for would be, so they get hold of the miniature. And pass on that information to their Kids (Fathers).
Now the fathers also go to the Hims to look for their BB. They too never tell no body the size of their Dream. Remember in those days it was foolish to dream big. We had phrases like ….. Don’t spread your legs more than the size of the sheet….and many more….So, the father too after 40yrs of searching settles for a slightly bigger bird than his father did. The Male ego still rules.
Now the son. He too goes in search of the same BIG BIRD ! And just like his predecessors shrinks his dream to the size ready and available. And then being a little smart doesn't waste time looking for something his last 2 generations didn’t find.
It’s the grandson now. And you guessed it right. Same story in general.
Now, the point my mentors wanted to make to me was this……..
Each of the generations spent 30 to 40 yrs looking for something they believed (faintly) existed. But instead of having a clear cut vision for what they were actually looking for they kept their respective dreams hidden from the rest. Just to avoid to be looked at like a loser. FEAR OF FAILURE. As a result they together spent 120 to 160 yrs in just searching. Each of their BIG MALE EGO’s didn’t allow them to look for people who had what they were looking for and seek their guidance.
Hence the key blocks here are :-
1. Fear of Failure
2. Fear of Rejection.
3. The big fat EGO.
4. The I know it all – Attitude.
just to name a few………….
No body in this world is born a professional. We don’t learn coding from our mothers womb nor do we learn how to build homes from there. Then why is it that we think to be a successful business man we need the business man DNA ? The most CRIMINAL thing one does when someone wants to start their own enterprise is…
~ Compare him with all those who failed at business. In the family and around. How MORONIC can one be ? Basic common sense….How can you compare someone who has not even made an attempt to do something that the other he is being compared to has failed at ? Now if you telling me you are analyzing his knowledge with the one who failed the you are a MORON for sure. Let me tell you why ……
In the late 1800’s there were 2 people who were trying to give flight to man. The Wright Bros and there was Samuel Pierpont Langley. The later, had all the greatest minds in Physics and other Sciences, all the politicians of the nations, and a lot of money to back him to give flight to mankind. But we’ve never heard of this gentlemen. WHY ? Coz he FAILED ! Do you know why he failed ? He failed coz the day he got to know that Wright bros were able to be in air for 9+ seconds, HE QUIT.
Now how is it that a person who had everything, the politicians, the minds to hire and the money failed to give flight ? Simple, He was missing a DRIVE with in as to why he wanted to give flight to mankind.
All it takes for one to be a Successful Entrepreneur is a DRIVE. A DRIVE to be different. A DRIVE to be able to make a difference to peoples lives. A DRIVE to be FREE. A DRIVE to DESERVE THE BEST for oneself and family and generations to come.
If you have this drive, look no further. FIRST contact those around you who are making a difference in their own lives and the lives of others. If you have none then contact me (if you believe I’m doing something that can make this world a better place). To be an entrepreneur all it takes is the below few things…..
1. A DREAM (this is Mandatory. If you don’t have one then let me help you realize one).
2. A DO or DIE attitude to achieve the above.
3. Willingness to Change the way we currently process our thoughts and information.
4. Be a great Student to someone who IS where you want to be.
5. 212% Of commitment. (type “212 degrees” in YouTube and watch the video)
With the above qualities you can for sure make it to the top of the Entrepreneur Charts.
So now to the golden Question……….
If this is still a tough choice read this blog again
Disclaimer – If any of my words have caused hurt to you then its your problem. I never wrote them with an intention to hurt anyone. You are hurt coz you perceived it that way.
- I'm NOT supposed to make sense to "Everyone".....am I ?
- Dreams are like time bombs. The day we realize our dreams the bomb starts ticking. If not achieved in time its blown into pieces. But sometimes it also blows up much before, when you let others mess with it. So protect your dream but don't waste too much time just protecting.
DREAM - PERFORM - ACHIEVE !
- What you spend you lose. What you invest comes to you in multiples.
We must learn to INVEST time to make Wealth and not SELL Time to make Money.
- Motivation is for those who hate what they doing. They need others to tell them WHY they should do something. For the few passionate, its Inspiration that drives them to success.
Are you Motivated or Inspired ?
- While most are THINKING how to make more money, I've chosen to first make more money and then THINK, how to spend/invest/enjoy it !
Coz .... I LOVE THINKING !
- All it take is just one thing to have a perfect start to an amazing day. Its called The Right Mindset.
- Well GOD is helpless.......People ask for more money and still hold out the same small bowl (mindset) that they've been using for years. All the more he puts ....all drops out !
If you asking for MORE.....then first BE MORE !
- It is so easy to know the character of a man. All you need to do is ask the right question and let him talk.
- I consider goddess Laxmi, the goddess of Disguise and Persistence. She always gets rejected by the majority coz of her disguise and yet keeps knocking the same door in hope of being recognized at least once.
Irrespective of your forms, I welcome you into my heart with gratitude and humility.
- There is a huge list of people out there to tell you "You can't do it", "You'll Fail", "Its not your cup of tea"........The least you can do to succeed is not add yourself to that list. ~ Self (inspired by Captain Haddock)
- God gave me everything that I would ever need to become who I am supposed to become. Just that he locked each of the traits and distributed the keys. All I need to do is meet as many people with those keys and ALLOW them to open my hidden treasures.
In return, I shall be IN-SERVICE to them.
- All of us deserve the best in life. Most realize it. Some work towards it. Few don't quit and get there. Negligible inspire others to do the same.
- I always knew me and Buffet thought alike. In fact we've placed our bets on the same industry as well. Heights of similarity i tell you !
- The world has never been in such desperate need of visionaries as it is today. It shall take an intensive search WITHIN ourselves to find one.
- The most dreaded and the most profitable industries happen to be the same. One of them is IP Networking (IP - Intellectual Property).
- The quality of our life is directly proportional to the quality of the answer we give to the golden question of life. "What is my purpose of life ?"
- A person who is liberated from within, can never be shackled into slavery. As what we make of ourselves within, we manifest the same outside.
- Every single day of our life, we are prospected by god through his various sent messengers, who try to enroll us into his School of Wealth and Prosperity. The challenge being, not one of them is dressed well, speaks well and those who do, we don't trust.
The best part being, God never gives up ! Its we who do !
- Salesmen sell products, Leaders Sell Vision of a better tomorrow. Selling a Product can make you some money. Selling a Vision where others get what they want, will make you a fortune.
What do you wanna make ?
- India is not a POOR country.... Its just that people are Scared to be RICH & SUCCESSFUL !
Allow me to prove it !
-Did you know -
80% of people I've met during my financial coaching call it a "FINANCIAL PROBLEM" if they had to arrange their one months salary for any unexpected reasons. These are people who have 2 to 6yrs corporate experience.
Earning money is not enough. You need to know how to make it work for you.
Wake Up and Smell the Coffee !
- The Truth about "WORD OF MOUTH".
It is most of the time information shared by a person about a product never bought, a service never used, a profession never known/understood, place never visited, medium never traveled, book never read, concept never known/understood......... So if you have been mislead, it is you at fault. You can't blame the mechanic you visit when you sick.
- You can tell how seasoned a person is by the language they use. PROBLEM is usually a word kids use. They learn it from text books.
The seasoned use the word CHALLENGE.

Business is not for ......
- Those who are happy and willing to part with 30% of what they earn...
- Those who are happy and willing to crib about how life's been unfair to them...
- Those who need someone to tell them what they are worth and not realize it by themselves...
- Those who don't have a purpose of living and just want to SPEND time and not INVEST it ....
- Those who think they will live a hundred years and make big debts based on such assumptions.
Business is for MORONS like me who believe in a dream and are willing to die trying rather than give up and exist. I am a MORON with a dream. You ?
- The only CERTIFICATE that is priceless even when compared with that of the greatest Universities on planet is that given by "LIFE". Its the "Certificate of Success".

-Today, in this super fast age of IT and Social Media, knowledge and money are freely available online and offline. But yet people are DUMB not to utilize the resources coz of the massive lack of Common Sense.
- My post from this day, 2010 (via FB)
God always has his way of sending us his messages. But from an Unknown Number, an Unknown Friend. ~ Self
- If an entire Industry was to be shut down or banned for one company failing, IT should have shut down after the Satyam Scam, Shipping should have shut down after the Titanic sunk, Airlines should have shut down after the concord crashed.....And the economy should have shut down after the WTC was erased.
Do you get my message ? or you still thinking DUMB ?
- The more you seek SECURITY, the more you lose FREEDOM. Ask any prisoner or an employee and they'll tell you. You are told how much you will get, when to have lunch, when to go home, when to take a holiday etc etc...
And I'm not talking about JOB security. I'm talking about FINANCIAL security.
- Winners make their failures as stepping stones. Losers make it their reason for giving up. The beauty is you have the choice. To be a Winner or a Loser.
- Life is a race. A race towards my goals. Where my biggest competitor is the Ticking Clock and not NOBODY else !
- FREEDOM when hyphenated means FREE from DOMinance. Something that employed can never have !
- I attempt - I fail, I attempt - I fail, I attempt - I fail, I attempt - I fail …… I attempt I SUCCEED. When eyes are locked on to the target… it don't matter how many times I fall. I just rise and Hit Back !
- Everyone is Destined to be Wealthy. Most CHOOSE to ignore this part of their destiny. Wonder why ?
- What an irony......"How a Revolutionary and a Criminal end up in the same place in the end while their intentions happen to be totally different".
- The only way to change REALITY is to first Accept it.
- Any guesses who is the biggest networker in the universe ? Its GOD !
He plans, Who meets Whom, When, Where and WHY !
And we happily screw-up his plans :P
- You can never be wealthy by creating great value for just few people. You get wealthy when you create immense value for the common man and teach him to do the same !
You then create ABUNDANCE !
- The BEST is always showcased after ACTION. Both on and off the screen.
- Forgive and Forget. The first one is very tough. Second, Impossible !
- Repentance can set us free from guilt and the act that we did. After which the history don't matter no more ! It is then DETACHED !
- When you go for an interview for a JOB, its most likely that the Employer lets you put the number of ZERO's in your CTC and they ultimately put the Decimal where they want to.
The only possible way you can get a chance to put the 0's and decimal is put your ego aside and give me a call. I'll be happy to serve you for the rest of our life !
- Kids are our LIABILITY and God's Asset !
They were sent to us because WE (parents) had to become better people in order to give them a Platform for them to become THAT, was is destined for them. The day we put our dreams onto their shoulders is the day we have committed the biggest crime of trespassing gods will !
Don't stop your kids from DREAMING ! Rather Help them achieve it !
- The day people FEAR dying broke than Fear losing money, they would be successful.
- "What I have I deserve. What i don't have, I don't like". - This is a great attitude to have for a beggar !
- Where there is a "WILL", there are a THOUSAND WAYS. It includes the once you MAKE !
-3 reasons why Professional Networkers get paid 200 times more than Salesmen.
1- They connect people and create a value that lasts till the end of life.
2- They give much more than they take.
3- They are vision driven not sales driven.
- To all the FATHERS of today. You soon will be Grand Fathers. Then you will have 2 choices. To tell your grandkids about what you WISH you had done...or.....what you DID. Or maybe you'll even lie about what you did.
To avoid that pathetic life, create a success story worth inspiring from….ACT NOW ! (No Opportunity Waits)
- Knowledge don't belong to no one's father. Its free for those who seek it.
- Its so tough to TRUST.......Oneself. Others just follow.
- Ever heard of that "WEALTHY MAN" who didn't have friends, family, social life, personal life, happiness, health, love, joy, peace in his life ??
- Its a challenging but an amazing experience to be working with so many POW's*. After all the hardship they go thru and their minds crushed, aspiration hanging like carrots in front, with FREEDOM left only as a fading dream. Most are so scared now at the ray of light at the end of tunnel, they think its a Train and just panic...... But I'll still do all that I can for THEIR FREEDOM !
*POW - Prisoners of WORK.
- How much of a brain does it require to tell which is better ?
Option 1 - 1,00,00,000...spent on education (KG to PG) to save Rs. 200/ Day
OR
Option 2 - 1,00,000 to 7,00,000 spent on business education to save 1,00,000 a day !
And people tell me they need time to think, they don't have money, they can't do what it takes.......blah blah blah :O Something wrong Somewhere !
- You don't need legs to stand up for your dreams, all you need is COURAGE !
- They say, never judge a book by its cover. That’s why, I see, Listen, Speak from my Heart ! It don’t know how to judge.
- Its the single most amazing experience to be witness to one's re-birth and facilitate the process of once growth and shaping of the character & identity, all over again.
- The day you no more fear Taking a Decision and sticking by It, is when you truly start LIVING !
- My Theory of Potential -
The praise you receive from people around you will never be more than 10% of your actual potential. And the critics you receive will always be 200% more than your actual mistakes made.
*Kindly do not judge OTHERS with this theory.
- There is always a trait in us that is reflected in those around us. As long as we are not in a good relationship with oneself there is no way we can be in a good relationship with the other. It all starts with the 'AHAM' - The 'I'.
- The human mind is designed only to see what it believes. Change what you believe and what you get will change.
- A FAILURE and a LOSER are rarely the same. When we FALL we Fail. When we REFUSE to get back up, we become a LOSER.
- FEAR is like that shadow in front of us that grows bigger and bigger as we move away from the source of light / knowledge. The moment we turn around and face the light / knowledge, we leave our fear behind us, that only shrinks and disappears once we become one with the source of knowledge / light. This knowledge / light is that of SELF DISCOVERY.
So if you have fear, gain more knowledge about YOURSELF.
- Some say “Something is better than Nothing”. I’d say “Nothing is better than Nonsense”.
- There are just 2 words that can define your success “ WHY and HOW “ . While focus on WHY gives you a PURPOSE , POWER and DIRECTION to ACHIEVE your Goals . While HOW helps you be in paralysis of the HOW .
- Next level in life is just - one though, one action and one decision away. But how far are you from that One Thought, One Action and One decision ?
- One strong reason to be successful can defeat a million reasons of past failures.
- When you climb and fall, its not the rocks that laugh at you. It’s the people around, who do. The same people, who do not believe in you but first do not believe in themselves. When you pick yourself up after every fall and conquer the peak, it is not the peak that you really conquer. You conquer YOURSELF. – Dato. Dr. Vijay Eswaran.
- Never share your dream with anyone if you don't have the BELIEF in its accomplishment. Coz it just shows. A dream without belief is like a Ferrari with no fuel.
- Statement - Someone has to take a step forward to do something.
Losers - Wait for that someone.
Winners – Become that someone.
- I empathize with the Ignorant who are seeking the truth. Pity those, who think they know it all.
-Those who throw stones on transparent glass homes, do so only because they see their own reflections in the glass. Its what we are that is always seen in the others. More so the bad than good.
- There is no ONE Wrong Decision, that leads to failure. Every wrong decision is just a De-tour. A De-tour that could teach us an important lesson if willing to learn. A lesson that could be used to make fortunes if willing to work hard. Fortunes that could be used to help mankind if willing to help. Help that can change someone's life for better. Life that is given to us by the lord. And the Lord who resides in each of us. See how a wrong decision came back to you in a beautiful way.
Yet there is One Wrong Decision, that leads to failure. It’s the Decision to QUIT.
- Its only when you make a DECISION and stick to it 'no matter what' the outcome maybe, does your life and destiny change to how you want it to be.
- Those who live a life of false pride and vision-less, compare themselves to others. Those who live a life of abundance, compare themselves to WHO they were in yesterday, WHO they are today and WHO they want to be tomorrow.
- CHANGE. Its one sour pill that has the capacity to change one's destiny !
I prescribe one Daily !
- Life is a CRAZY driver. Doesn't use the Indicator before it Turns
- You can only find a reason to QUIT, when your reason to start was not STRONG ENOUGH.
- To become a GREAT ONE is to Stand WITH People and NOT ABOVE them. – Rahul Pendse (Business Leader, Mentor and a great friend).
- One of the greatest opportunities most of us miss in life is LIFE itself.
Wake up !
- What connects us to our source is our Dream. Cut your dream and you'll be like a BEAUTIFUL FLOWER on its way to the trash can once dried.
Dream < BELIEVE > Achieve.
- There are 2 things we can do when we fall. One, give an excuse to stay there and howl how much it pains and hurts. Second, give ourselves a reason to get back up and start walking and let the pain and hurt become a war-cry. A War-cry that inspires those fallen down to get back up. So what is it that you are choosing ?
-We are all TIRED at the end of the day. Physically, Mentally, Emotionally, Spiritually & Financially. So are those who have succeed beyond measure. But they never let the first 4 become excuses to stop them from working harder to get their Financial Strength. And once that was there, they had the OTHER 4 at their disposal.
- Our worth is directly proportional to our awareness of our potential and how serious we are about putting it to use.
- When The Nature doesn't believe in complacency and mediocrity, Why should I ?
When Plants and Animals don't compete against each other, Why should I ? When The Sun & Moon doesn't believe in the giving us ENOUGH light, Why should I ? When The Earth doesn't bind us with chains, yet holds onto us, Why should I ?
There is a lot we could learn from the Nature and things around us. But only if we are good students and not Pseudo Intellectuals.
Empty You Cup !
- Your Dream is how you want you life to be. The Reality is how the world wants your life to be. Fight for DREAMS ! Yours and others.
- The only way to uplift a country is by empowering the individual.
- Mediocre mind are known by what they are today while the great minds are known for their VISION of tomorrow.
- The best way to piss off people is to show them something that can give them better results than what they have been doing & getting since donkey years.
- Giving is such a tough task. But the joy during and after is beyond explanation.
- A lot of times one just needs to hyphenate a word to bring out great meaning. For eg ...... NAUKRI.
- You, me, Edison, Dhirubhai, Tata, Birla and all the legends & wealthiest people were born with the same SUPER COMPUTER HARDWARE.
You and me stuck to old Drivers and they kept upgrading. They were not scared of installing the wrong drivers, because they first spent a lot of time understand their hardware (Self Realization, connect with... their dreams, Vision).
-There are people who drive a car worth Rs.200,000. And those who pay this amount as EMI every Month and finally those who pay this EMI every day. We could be anyone of them.
Its all about believing in ourselves that we can be what we WANT TO BE !
Dream < Believe > Achieve !
- The cat on the wall died of starvation. (one of my Fav’s)
-The only companies that can build the economy are the ones whose customers are equal to their partners in all ways. (not very sure if this is my original)
- Legends are those who believe in themselves and their vision and are completely deaf to what the highly qualified and learned men opine about them till they have achieved their goals. Once goal achieved, the opinion and the men just Disappear. So Are you Legend or Highly Qualified Learned men ?
- There is only one Talent that can make even a donkey, the most respected individual around. It’s the talent of LEARNING. The moment we feel we've learnt ENOUGH, we start our journey backwards to becoming a DONKEY again.
- Why steal & cheat when you have enough to give.
- Security and Risk, both bring you Freedom. While the first brings Freedom on Hire, the second helps you Own It. (Another fav of mine)
- Those who fought and brought us freedom didn't cling to their SECURITY. A soldier on the border gives up his SECURITY for our Freedom. The same way we must give up our SECURITY for the Freedom of our coming generations / families. Or we all shall go back to the old times of slavery and yet again FEAR shall be used to shackle and control us.
- A Lot of us claim to have common sense. I differ. Majority of us here don't have common sense. Allow me to Prove It To You.
- Vegetables get rotten once you pull them out of the source and keep them out in artificial environment for long. Humans are no different. Our source is that dream that we were born to achieve. The moment we forget it and join the race we enter the artificial environment and slowly start to rot and stink.
- Start a task + Mistakes made + Failure + Lessons learned + QUIT = Pseudo Experience.
Start a Task + Mistakes Made + Failure + Lessons Learned + Re-Start the Task + Finish successfully = Experience.
So be careful of whose advice you take.
-One of the main reasons why Japan has stood up strong even after the historic bombing is only because for the Japanese, CHANGE was VISION driven. Not FEAR Driven.
- Entrepreneurship is not about selling/promoting products and services. It’s about creating and promoting opportunities to build a better society.
- Your bank balance is directly proportionate to the number of people you have SERVED so far.
- I've just realized why I couldn't make it big in music. Because I never worked with musicians. I worked with corporate employees who played music part-time. Nothing wrong with them, but just my fault. I was with people who weren't just as desperate to make it big in music as I was.
- Are you preparing yourself and Waiting for an opportunity or just Waiting ?
- The journey to the ultimate destination (our dreams) begins when we understand the difference between "What I am Good at" and "What is good for me" and choose the right one.
- Complacency is like weeds. All you need to do is 'NOTHING'. (not sure if I wrote this)
- Its human to miss your target and fail. But moronic to give up.
- I have always let my DECISIONS shape my destiny and not my conditions. How about you ?
- For a Sparrow every worm is an opportunity. For an Owl every rat is one. But for an Eagle none of them are. They only come down to their nest or when there is something BIG for them. Be an Eagle. Fly HIGH !
- You are just one person away from being fired. Just one person who's just 1% smarter than you, willing to work just 1 hr more than you and willing to take just one pay cheque less in a year than you.
- There are 3 major battles that we fight on a daily basis.
~How v/s Why.
~Don't v/s Can't
~Try v/s Do it.
...Those who win and succeed everyday are the ones who ask them selves "WHY CAN'T I DO IT". They are the ones who are willing to Learn How to do it coz the 'WHY to do it' is more stronger than the lame excuses the VOICE within gives.
- You got a Dream, you got to Protect IT ! People can't do something themselves and they'll tell you … You can't do it ! – In The Pursuit of Happiness.
- What stops a Muslim to walk into a temple and worship Allah and a Hindu to walk into a Mosque and worship his god ? ... If the answer is "NOTHING"....it only means its not a Religion issue.... its an EGO issue. And if we have Edged God Out (EGO) what difference will a temple or a mosque make ?
- Has finally come to a conclusion that the main reason why people fail to achieve enough significance in their life is ........ "FEAR OF SUCCESS"
