A Beautiful Woman!

Beautiful Women

Age 3: She looks at herself and sees a Queen.

Age 8: She looks at herself and sees Cinderella.

Age 15: She looks at herself and sees an Ugly Sister (Mum I can't go to school looking like this!)

Age 20: She looks at herself and sees "too fat/too thin, too short/too tall, too straight/too curly"- but decides she's going out anyway.

Age 30: She looks at herself and sees "too fat/too thin, too short/too tall, too straight/too curly" - but decides she doesn't have time to fix it, so she's going out anyway.

Age 40: She looks at herself and sees "clean" and goes out anyway.

Age 50: She looks at herself and sees "I am" and goes wherever she wants to go.

Age 60: She looks at herself and reminds herself of all the people who can't even see themselves in the mirror anymore. Goes out and conquers the world.

Age 70: She looks at herself & sees wisdom, laughter and ability, goes out and enjoys life.

Age 80: Doesn't bother to look. Just puts on a purple hat and goes out to have fun with the world.

-Tanu.

It's all about positive thinking!

I have read many articles on topic like this. Some are good reads, some are good time pass and some are inspiring. But what make Mr. Zaglar different is the practical reality involved within. I wish if I could have attended his seminar...

In fact whole of the article had the practical charm, still what I enjoyed most in the article follows here:

* Self-talk is the most powerful, most significant, most life changing procedure you will ever encounter.
Everybody needs to have balanced goals to attain success and joy.
* Success must never be measured by how much money you have. Success is where you are in comparison to where you began. Try to look at your weakness and convert it into your strength. That’s Success.
* You were born to win, but to be a winner you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win.
* When you have courage, you follow through on your vision.
* He says 97% of people live in the comfort zone and 3% of the people live in the effective zone. The difference between comfort and effective zone is growth. And growth is never comfortable.

Blogging or social service?

Why Blogging???

<>Saw this: http://www.broom.org/epic/

This URL just makes it so simple to understand why blogging is this important to future business. After all "Information" is the key!!! And, bloggers are simply providing this "HUGE" amount of information available on internet at their own cost in terms of time, bandwidth and energy. What they may get in turn: some satisfaction... some search engine showing their name... and of course time pass. Yeah, bloggers are providing you their invaluable experiences so openly!!! You get it all and get it free forever :-)

Corporation level blogs are needed not only to reach to customers but also to have a safe store of all individual's thoughts. <>Personal blogs are all going to help search engine providers to get the maximum information available on internet.

So when you blog next time, feel that it’s not just to give you the satisfaction of expressing yourself but it is your contribution in social services. You are helping many businesses to grow. You are providing innovative cool ideas to many future inventors! Oh, you might be one of the obscure base granules of googlezone! Who says the world is becoming selfish :-)

Jassi's 7 tips

I have always been skeptical reading about TV/Cinema characters first beacsue I don't know many of them and second because my maximum tolerance for an Indian TV serial is 5 minutes. Today, since I was in no rejoicing mood while coming back from airport while waiting for a person, I took this book unconsciously. Started reading it quote by quote and it was all so true... Oh, I was reading it fully... so consciously! First time I could just finish reading a book at book-stall itself that too in a very few minutes and could still carry quite a few thoughts... May be because it just reflected my own thoughts on working in India :-)

My additions: if u work in India, official politics is a must to experience. So learn to tackle it afap and you will be simply flying on your way... Just be firm and have passion. In office no emotion, no friendship (in your work group) and absolutely no expectation at personal level. Just smartly work hard and DO ENSURE that you get your credit. In Indian firms you can just have one of "credit for your hard work" or what people call "friendship" with your peers. I'm yet to see a combination of both :-).

And yes, if you can decently survive in an Indian firm, cheers! cheers again for yourself!!! You are ready to be successful anywhere else. Indian firms give you a wonderful training for "how to cope up with the worst of behavioral working environment" straight from "the best of industry players".
