Life

Yes I am talking about love affairs in life and off course till you get married 🙂 after that have love affair only with your spouse ;).

Now how in god’s name can having a love affair be positive and good? Apart from the usuals…..

First and foremost it makes you competitive it makes you open and get rid of the shy you! Don’t get that look now oh! I am the introvert and creative type so this is not for me. Or I am the topper types so these things are a waste of time! Or I am the next Einstein so…

In today’s world or any, you need to be bold and showcase yourself to others. This single trait increases your chances of achieving success tremendously and its hard, its very very hard, to learn. So if you would have done that affair you would have face this problem on how to impress the others, how to talk to her/him or how to approach the first time. Bottomline is this is what is required to sell yourself to others.

And “Impressing others” comes in handy in every phase of your life, whether it’s getting into sports, landing on a better job, getting good promotion from your boss or looking to start business of your own, think of anything and you require others to support or get involve with you to get success….

So if you have had an affair or proposed someone and succeeded after trying to impress, you are one step ahead of others who consider themselves too creative to do anything about it!

Note: A big disclaimer these are my personal opinions, follow it with your own risks!

Thoughts that cannot be converted into actions are waste,
And talks that cannot be converted into thoughts for actions are waste!

There are many reasons to fail, equal reasons to succeed. Find your reason to succeed!

All of us are always busy, we have umpteen things to do on daily basis. We complain ferociously that if we have time we could have…dont worry it is not again one productivity lectures 🙂

Procrastination is our best friend, yes delay all your usual works do something interesting, read something or watch a movie, read a novel, play with your kids, forget all the to do lists that you have. Build something interesting…

Follow your heart and mind to do something interesting that you like, this is a way of telling us that this is where you should be, not losts in some to do lists.

Overall i think this will lead to achieve more in life and be more productive. So procrastination is our friend keep it active with you 😀

One of the biggest debate today is what should we teach our kids? Interesting topic huh, some say make them aggressive as they cannot survive without it. Or some say they should be good in sports, from early stage if they will be good in sports they can rake money :). Offcourse they should be good in studies much better than any others. The list goes on and on….

So what should we teach them? Sports? Best in Studies? Music? Dance? Anymore…

I think the right answer is “FAILURE” we should teach them how to fail and get up and try again. If you fail again getup and try again, again and again ….

Now why we should teach them to fail?

As a kid no one knows what they like or what they want to become, even for us its difficult to really understand what we like or what we want to acheive in next 5 years. Yes usual answer is to rake lot of money and retire but it never happens not because we make the money, but someone has much more money than us and hence we want to get to that level or next level….

So what can help us best, imagine if you have no fear of failure or our kids have no fear of failure ( And we support them in failure ). They can try out new things without giving second thought that if we fail what will happen? And this is the only skill you have that if you fail you get up dust your hands and start over..without thinking or having any regrets..

You will be the happiest person because you will keep trying, keep trying and you will achieve more and more. But we are too ingrained with all crap that we should always succeed and never fail, we should always be best in everything. And we want our kids to do the same!

So lets teach our kids how to fail and pull up and try again..i think if we can teach this one thing attribute they will succeed in their lives ….

Today i learnt an important lesson from a small incident of a school boy. He would not be much older than my son around 8-9 yrs boy, crying in corner of a parking lot in our apartment complex. He was trying to get his school bag out of his bycycle as the bag was entangled into the cycle. It was a soft and long cry thinking that he has missed the school bus and was worried what will happen next. I helped him, took his bag and took him to bus stop, were we figured the bus was yet to come, i asked him to drink some water and brought his tiffin which was left in the cycle.

After knowing the bus is yet to come he stopped crying and i left him there waiting for the bus.

This got me thinking if he would missed the bus what worst could have happened ? he would have not gone to school today or his parents would have scolded him and dropped him to school a bit late. But in his mind it was the biggest problem as if whole world will collapse and he need to somehow catch the bus!

I think all of us somewhere are trying to get into that bus, our own buses, which is really good. But what happens if we miss our bus, we all will cry in our own way or get worried or get so desparate oh! why it happened ? what will happen now ? but if we look back and see how many buses we have missed, what have we gained out of it. Sometimes its much better to miss the bus instead of getting into the bus. Also in life there are lot more buses than we usually can see, we get biased by our own short view, as if something huge will happen and we will not be able live beyond that….

So lets keep trying, keep falling, keep failing, yes we may miss today’s bus because of 10 reasons which is not in our control, but someday we will get our buses and than yet again another will come…
