Intangibles I am not carrying forward in New Year

Old me ,I am sure is not going with me in new year. Pooja ,who was always looking for something or someone to base her happiness upon is definitely staying behind.Happiness does not exist in things or people, It lives in me,it lives in you.

" When the desire to be wanted overtakes the desire to be who we are,we lose our way."

-Susan Winter

Be kind to yourself. Being kind to yourself may seem a scary risk. But what's even scarier is what will happen to your life if you take no risk at all.Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life. Tip Toe if you must,but take the step.

Love yourself,pamper the new YOU

Only agenda for 2018 is to stay committed to myself, rest all will fall in place. I made efforts to get fit in 2017 but let go of them by the year end but I am re picking the threads of health. So, no procrastination in 2018. I have practiced hard to stay positive last few months, now no more practicing ,I will make it flow natural. life may not be a party I hoped for ,But while I am here I should sharpen my Bhangra steps till I hit center stage of my party.

Renewing my knowledge and learning a new subject is what I am looking forward to.Creativity ,Innovation and foresight is the window that will sharpen my skill sets for the new challenge I am taking on...writing a Book! Therefore creating and adhering to timelines become crucial for me if I want to turn challenges into opportunity.

Saving more money to travel and explore world is primary if I want to enrich my experiences for better writing results.Financial management is one life skill which needs mastery by this life skill coach😏

Widening my social and professional circle is necessary if I really want to publish my book;who will read the book if no one knows about it.So no shying away from socials.

I will read more books ,in fact will read something new each day leading to my best performance at work. How can books help me deliver at my job? Ideas and thoughts learned will help me help students achieve their dreams; in turn helping me to deliver best performance at my work .I am grateful for a job that help me live my passion-helping and teaching.

Gratitude for the support through out 2017 and Best Wishes for a fabulous 2018 !

What If and Why Not?

Not Yet ……is the phrase to be used when we lose. Pick yourself up to strive one more time rather than say, ‘ I failed’ . When the focus is winning and success, we lose. People who are oblivion of winning and work for excellence, with passion and love; the success knocks at their door at the time when least expected. Best talents may remain hidden or be lost at the worst as they lack the grit to stumble and get up on the roadblocks on way to success. Lack of willingness to fail and start all over again is the root cause of failure not the absence of technical or life skills. All these skills are acquirable if you have the grit. REMEMBER: To grow a carrot, the farmer must give it fertilizer, water, and soil—but must allow for the carrot to grow and spread its own roots; only this way can the carrot find its path to the most nutrients to ensure the strongest growth. Same goes for us, learn the right skills, acquire knowledge and strive but do not focus on winning all time, our...

Be a Copy Cat!

Two decades ago when I visited a restaurant for the first time with cousins, I didn’t know how to use my fork or where to place a serviette? I never wanted to embarrass my cousin that he has brought his small town silly baby sister to a plush place. But I managed the show just by imitating my senior cousin. Not only a restaurant, I came out of many such fixing situations where I never knew how to conduct myself, I just copied the people in front of me with a smile on my face and a confident gaze. So don’t think copying is bad, copying behavior to learn things is primitive. An infant learns by copying its parents and people around. A language is caught rather than taught by imitating. We work on our skill sets by following an ideal or mentor. We pickup many a traits of ours; which we like in our parents, friends and spouse subconsciously just by replicating them. Same can be applied to an interview scenario, where you are confused to choose what type of body language, to...

Method Behind Magic

“Be open, be Impatient and Be Hopeful’ Listening to Sundar Pichai addressing the passing out batch of 2020 is magical, quintessential and evoke hope. No matter you are passing out this year or you graduated twenty years ago, it shows you light in despairing time. Trying to dissect the anatomy of his narrative, I faced the power of number three. Rule of 3 is a literary device used to make language come alive. Steve Job in his famous commencement speech at Stanford narrated three personal stories to evoke emotions (pathos) engage authentically (ethos) with his personal experiences and bring home the values of trust, faith and uncertainty of life as logical conclusions (logos). Mr Pichai too used personal experiences, powerful language and detailed description to give a message of hope to the youth. Information combined with emotion becomes a memory. “If you want something stuck in someone’s head, put it in a sequence of three,” Brian Clark, founder of Copyblogger said. Ru...
