Give it a thought
You people also give a thought --- feedback is always welcome.
Fear of Death: The ultimate truth of life and the same destination for all. Every thing seems small in the face of death and every one fears it. Let us face it. If you think you will die, you are certainly right- one day you will. It makes us realize that we are so naked. It makes us feel that failure has no meaning and success doesn’t count. Fear of death ‘the divine force’ keeps us free from everything and makes us work for good of humanity.
Fear of death can drive us to our greater goal. Every morning, get ready to face it, say life is too short and I want to achieve my greater goal.
Just it’s thought, rubs off our entire ego and puts us on the same platter. It imbibes in us the sense of selflessness and takes us to the point where we realize that this materialistic world is meaningless
Close your eyes and think about it, it frees you..
Magic of uncertainty: I always love to put it in this way “Uncertainty is life”; the more predictable it is, lesser exciting it becomes. Uncertainty factor is what makes us open our eyes – yes I mean wide open!! We take the extra caution in the face of uncertainty, to drive our selves to succeed. The uncertainty acts as a regulatory agent to keep us under the check.
It is the magic of uncertainty which keep us gloved to every act of life.
Power of beginner: The most difficult thing in the world is to begin. Once you begin, the power of beginner comes into play. You start with a lot of enthusiasm and a great positive approach. The beginners are guided by a strange invisible guiding hand. This hand guides them to accomplish their task. Success or failure is just a result.
The passion and love to do things as a beginner with no worries to fail, is a great power in itself. The power of beginner applies to every thing Think of great bands (arts), successful entrepreneurs or great thought leaders, all begin with passion and the power of beginner brings best out of them.
When you are successful the success gets onto your head, you take things for granted. You start doing what you don’t love to.
If you are a mediocre, it is a punishment, and you will always be worried about loosing. Beginning new will be a scary dream That is worst I believe.
Drive of dreams: How important is it to dream? Dream with your eyes wide open!! The dreams are the biggest drivers, dreams drive you to love, sacrifice, tolerance, growth, success, humanity and what not!!!
As said by the genius of all times “Albert Einstein”: Imagination is more important than knowledge.
All the important blue prints/ designs/ plans are the dreams of the people drawn with the power of imagination. When these dreams (Blue prints/plans/ design) are put into action the results transform lives.
People used to say if humans were to fly they would have had wings, but Wright Brothers dreamt with open eyes They put their plan in to action, made first airplane and gave wings to humans. Today airplane is the fastest mode of transportation and as integral as it was always there.
So here I say “dreams give you wings to fly, ignite your minds and question impossible”.
Facts of active realization: All of us realize that we need to correct but how many of us actually take the corrective actions? The realization of the facts is important but more important is to take the corrective action. Have a look around, you can see guys cribbing over the things which really matter to them or even for the things which remotely concern them. But ask them a question “what have you done for it?” and the answer is “what can I do?” or “how can an individual make the difference?”
I am just putting my thought for both the answers
· “What can I do?” – If you think some thing is wrong and you are cribbing around for it, then you must know what is right!! So you have to take the corrective action. And if you don’t know then probably you don’t understand it and have no right to crib around.
· “How can an individual make a difference?” – Individuals make the difference - its always when an individual’s thoughts are accepted by masses and masses come in action -- it makes the difference. Take an example of Mahatma Gandhi here –Widely known as “Gandhian principles of non violence” were his individual thoughts accepted by the masses which helped India gain its independence. All the great thought leaders are individuals and masses think in their lines, making the difference.
Importance of “right first time”: It is important to get things right first time but the “failure” is the experience gained to do it ‘right first time’. Success is counted sweetest but failure is the first step towards success. History is evident that great people failed because they dreamt, they tried and they realized actively. Failure is just a result!!!
“Right first time” has importance only in the non-innovative and repetitive things.
In the world of innovation, thinking out of box, ‘failure’ is the teacher and reward of the attempts made. It eventually tells us what is not correct and helps connect the dots to the correct path. Abraham Lincoln – failed and failed to succeed. Because he knew, “failure is temporary setback, acceptance makes it permanent.”
There are other numerous examples of the living legends like “Bran Richardson”(Virgin), “Sunil Mittal” (Bharati – Airtel ) , “Steve jobs” (fired from the company he made !! Apple), “Ray” (the great blind musician) and the list goes on …
