The Power Of Love And Hardwork

The sun had long set, casting a shadow over the home of the Sharma family. Inside, Deepika Sharma sat at the small kitchen table, staring blankly at kitchen utensils in front of her. 

Her husband Anant was out looking for work again, leaving her alone with their three young children.

Sharmas had always been a hardworking family, but lately, they had been struggling to make ends meet. 

Anant had lost his job at a auto component manufacturing factory a few months ago, and despite his best efforts, he hadn't been able to find steady employment.

Confession Of An Entrepreneur


As a Recruiter, first as an employee of one of the largest Executive Search organizations in India, and then as the Founder of one of the most popular Recruitment Firms in Delhi, at that time, I had watched from close the rise and fall of many professionals Iike me.

They thrived beyond their expectations, controlled their empire with an iron hand, and eventually fell like the Roman emperors.

I had observed from close proximity: Their success in the prime time of their career, and down-fall over the period of decades.

Most of them, while ruling over their own empire, never realized that a day will come without fail when they would have no option but to fade into oblivion.

Ravi's Battle Against Destiny's Torture

Ravi's life has never been easy. From a young age, he has faced challenges that seemed insurmountable. Born into a broken home, Ravi never knew the love and care of both parents. 

His father struggled with addiction, leaving  to fend for himself most of the time. As a result, he grew up quickly, taking on responsibilities far beyond his years.

Despite his difficult upbringing, Ravi was determined to make something of himself. He excelled in school, earning top grades and scholarships to prestigious universities. 

But just as he was about to embark on his journey to a brighter future, tragedy struck. A car accident claimed the lives of both his parents, leaving Ravi completely alone in the world.

The True Power Comes From Within

Not so long ago, in a small village nestled in the lush green valleys of the Himalayas, lived a young boy named Mihir. 

Mihir was a dreamer, always fascinated by the majestic mountains that surrounded his village. 

He would often spend hours gazing at the snow-capped peaks, imagining all the adventures that awaited him beyond the village.

Mihir's family was poor, and opportunities for education and career advancement were scarce in the village. But Mihir was undeterred. 

He was determined to break free from the constraints of his circumstances and make something of himself. 

And so, he turned to his greatest source of inspiration - his grandmother.

Mihir's grandmother, Tulsi, was a wise and kind soul. She had seen her fair share of struggles and hardships in life, but her spirit remained unbroken. 

Tulsi was a firm believer in the power of perseverance and self-belief. She would often tell Mihir that the only limits in life are the ones we place on ourselves.

One day, as Mihir sat with his grandmother overlooking the valley, she told him a story. 

It was a tale of a young prince who was born into a kingdom plagued by darkness and despair. 

The prince grew up surrounded by doubt and fear, but he harbored a deep yearning for something more, something greater.

One day, the prince decided to embark on a quest to find the source of light that would banish the darkness from his kingdom. 

He traveled far and wide, facing numerous challenges and obstacles along the way. 

But he never wavered in his determination, for he knew that within him lay the power to overcome any adversity.

Finally, after a long and arduous journey, the prince reached the mystical city of light. 

There, he discovered that the source of light was not an external force, but his own indomitable spirit. 

The prince realized that true power comes from within, and that he possessed the strength and courage to bring about change in his kingdom.

As Tulsi finished the story, she looked into Mihir's eyes and said, "My dear child, you are like that young prince. You have the power to illuminate the darkest corners of your life with the light of your own dreams and aspirations. Do not let anyone or anything dim the brightness of your spirit."

Mihir was deeply moved by his grandmother's words. He felt a newfound sense of purpose and determination burning within him. 

He realized that his dreams were not just distant fantasies, but achievable goals that he could strive towards with unwavering faith and resilience.

From that day on, Mihir dedicated himself to his studies and personal growth. 

He devoured books on a wide range of subjects, eager to expand his knowledge and broaden his horizons. 

He took on odd jobs in the village to save money for further education, determined to carve out a path for himself that would lead to a brighter future.

Years passed, and Mihir's hard work and perseverance paid off. He earned a scholarship to study at a prestigious university in Delhi, where he excelled in his academics and extracurricular activities. 

His passion for learning and his unwavering commitment to his goals inspired those around him, and he became a source of inspiration for the younger generations in his village.

Today, Mihir is a successful entrepreneur, running his own business that supports sustainable development projects in rural communities. 

He often returns to his village, where he shares his story with the children and encourages them to dream big and never give up on their aspirations.

And as he stands on the mountain-top, overlooking the valley that was once his home, Mihir knows that the true source of inspiration and motivation lies within each of us - waiting to be ignited by the fire of our dreams and nurtured by the unwavering belief in our own potential.

The Hope!

 

The foundation of our existence is HOPE. Hope is the Engine of Life that helps us keep moving toward our destination. Perseverance, Persistence, Patience, talk about anything, all are fundamentally influenced and governed by hope for a better future in every domain of life.

If there is no hope, there is nothing in life. If there is no hope, we cease to exist. When hope dies, we too die. May be physically, or emotionally, or both.

So, keep the hope alive even in the worst situation. All I have written in this book is about my own experience with regard to inability to give up. This book is a collection of articles I have written, while going through the worst period of life.

Some of the articles are true stories and the rest are the expression of thoughts and ideas coming to my mind. Navigating the dark cloud of Destiny's Torture, I started inspiring myself through writing these article. It was a kind of self-talk to save me from the pains and agonies of life and remain hopeful about a great future.

Hope is a positive cognitive state based on a sense of successful goal-directed determination and planning to meet those goals. Goddess Elpis in Greek Mythology is the spirit of HOPE.

Clearly indicating that Hope Helps Us Keep Going, a relevant article from "The Psychology Today," highlights:

"Research indicates that hope can help us manage stress and anxiety and cope with adversity. It contributes to our well-being and happiness and motivates positive action. Hopeful people believe they can influence their goals, that their efforts can have a positive impact. They are also more likely to make healthy choices to eat better or exercise, or do the other things that will help them move toward what they are hoping for."

So we must never let the hope disappear from life, even when stuck up in the dark tunnel of life. Hope keeps us alive and it is nothing but the flame of a better future in all domains of life.

Highlighting that "Hope is more than wishful thinking. It’s a blend of optimism and willpower," a write up in "PsychCentral" Calls attention to:

"High-hope people fare better in several areas of life. According to Snyder’s hope theory, higher levels of hope are consistently linked to better outcomes regarding mental health, physical health, academics, athletics, physical health, and psychotherapy."

However, at the same time, to make our hope come true we have to unleash massive actions towards achieving whatever our goals are. The goals could be anything. Materialistic and or Spiritual. Whatever those are, we can achieve the same with a combination of Hope and Hard-work.

The purpose of this book is to motivate them who have lost Hope, or in the process of giving up the same in life. Hope is the foundation of living a meaningful life and an existence full of happiness.

Build Your Life Again From The Bottom!

An amazing book I had finished reading yesterday at one go: "Dopamine Detox." It is written by Meurisse Thibaut.

The conclusion of the book, as summarized by the author, is as follows:

"You can choose to control your focus, or you can let someone else take it away from you.

When you learn to avoid highly stimulating activities that destroy your ability to remain calm and focused, you’ll find yourself capable of tackling your major tasks with more ease than ever before.

Going through a dopamine detox will help you lower your level of stimulation and ensure you work on your major tasks.

Remember that excitement and fulfillment aren’t the same things.

As you learn to eliminate external stimulations and immerse yourself in your work, hobbies, or relationships, you’ll experience a deeper sense of fulfillment and will feel much better.

You will also end up becoming far more productive and accomplishing many of your goals and dreams.

So, stop letting your environment hijack your brain and regain control of it instead.

This is the key to a healthy and productive life."

Today morning I uninstalled/disabled FB, Instagram, Netflix, Hotstar, Zee5, Amazon Prime on my phone, left all groups on WhatsApp except one and silenced every single one of the notifications.

However, relaxation being important, I do access them sometime at the end of my daily work schedule on my personal Laptop only.

You will be surprised to know that there is no TV in my house. So, the deadliest source of distractions doesn't exist. 

On an average. I read a good and informative book every week. It means, minimum 52 books a year and, trust me, I enjoy doing the same.

To conclude: Let me tell you, it has been a great distraction free day so far and I am determined to continue with the same strategy for a long time.

A Man of Action!

Few years ago, after getting down from Metro Rail at Chattarpur Station, New Delhi, I was looking for an auto-ricksaw.

I was standing on the pavement across the main road. With people moving like ants, there was no sign of an auto.

Suddenly, just a meter away from me, an auto-ricksaw came to a screeching halt and the driver waved at me.

I ran toward him, and as soon as I reached him he said in English, "Sir, get inside, else this policeman would challan me."

Perplexed, how an auto-driver was speaking fluent English, I first got inside and then asked him about his background.

To cut the story short - He, a Master in Political Science, retired from a Govt. Job, is now an auto-driver not out of compulsion.

Further discussion with him revealed, when, after retirement, he was unable to find out a job that would keep him busy for at least 8 hrs a day, he decided to buy an auto and drive it.

He was talking to me in chaste English. 

"Sir, I receive a good pension and both my sons are well settled. However, I can't sit idle through-out the day. Hence, I decided to take up this profession," he concluded. 

With my destination fast approaching, I decided to end the conversation.

However, even after 2 years of our chance encounter, I still remember him for his dedication to action.

Live Life At Full Potential!

I met him in one of my favorite pubs: The Orient Tavern, Vasant Kunj. I still vividly remember it.

I was sitting in a corner table, drinking my favorite brand. He was trying to be comfortable in the adjacent table.

I looked at him and said, "Hi."

He replied with the same word and equal enthusiasm, but with a strange sadness in his eyes.

"I am Abhijit, what's your name?" I took the discussion forward.

During the next couple of hours, there, in that pub, while gulping down several pegs of Whiskey with that stranger in late night hours, I realized that learnings in life might come from the most unexpected situations.

Light in the restaurant was dim. Music in the background was like whispers. Me and he were intensely involved in conversation.

"Abhijit, don't ever fool yourself in the name of sacrifice. Don't ever spoil your life for nothing. Your life is precious, and you must live it at full potential." 

I could see the pains of life and notice the sufferings of being alive - in his eyes. It was scary for me, as if someone from the heaven was talking to me.

Before leaving the restaurant, he told me what I still remember: Abhijit, live your emotion, embrace your feelings and celebrate your helplessness - never bother about the reaction of others. Let them think, anything!

How Criticism Made Me A Better Version Of Myself!

More than 3 decades ago, I cleared my 12th board examination with 8 grace marks in English. Despite scoring pretty well in science subjects, which ultimately ensured my admission into an elite engineering college ( NIT, Nagpur), my overall grade in XIIth board was drastically down due this pathetic performance in English.



Frankly speaking, I had a great disliking for English during the formative years of life and never attempted to make any improvement even. I used to be so poor in spoken English, that, during my Engineering college days, I had always avoided mixing up with English speaking classmates.



Well, destiny had something else in mind for me. After passing out from the college, when I failed to write a job application in English, leading to a group of friends laughing at me in front of many others, I, for several hours, wept uncontrollably, but then, I decided to do something about it.



On that day, before falling asleep, I vowed to myself that I must learn to speak and write in English within three months to give those friends a fitting reply. First step in that direction was to subscribe to an English news paper, and then, I bought a Bengali-to-English dictionary.



For the next 3 months, without fail, I continued with a tireless effort of investing several hours a day on reading English newspapers, writing down the meaning of each and every word that I couldn’t understand and, finally, made every attempt to improve my ability to speak in English by talking to the wall of my bedroom for several hours.



It was a lonely fight with no help from any living being. But, I continued. My determination and efforts begun producing visible results, adding fuel to my endeavor for improving more and more. During those 3 months, I didn’t let anyone get a hint of what I had been after. Then, one fine morning, I offered to write the job application for one of my friends.



I still clearly remember his facial expression while reacting to my proposal with a sarcastic comment. Ignoring. However, I went ahead and tried my best to design an impacting cover letter and showed him the draft. One by one, all three of them read it and looked at my face with shear disbelief. And, at that point, I dropped another bombshell by initiating a verbal communication in English. They were stunned!



The desire to give a fitting reply to my friends’ neglect, motivated me to achieve something difficult if not impossible. Their criticism, instead of demotivating me, inspired me to look upon this obstacle as a challenge to overcome, and I did it. 



The mission was accomplished and that success laid the foundation of a never-give-up attitude in life, which, since then, has remained with me up until now, and I wish, it remains, forever, as an integral part of my life. 



Two and decades later, when I wrote my first article in late 2008 and published it on LinkedIn, one of the readers made a categorical statement that instead of wasting my time and energy on such attempts, I should go for fishing. It was like getting completely stripped down before a huge audience, as his comment was read by hundreds of renowned professionals from all over the world.


I agree that there were quite a few grammatical mistakes in that article. However, instead of pointing it out publicly, he could have let me know his observation privately. That’s how a civilized society is expected to function. But he decided otherwise, and it ultimately proved to be a blessing in disguise for me!



I don’t know what made him launch such a lethal but unusual attack on me, but I didn’t give up this time also. Apart from taking up a week-long grammar lesson from my elder daughter to improve my writing skills, I stayed focused on reading lots of articles from dozens of popular websites and kept posting more and more on my blog and on LinkedIn. 



After a couple of months, the same person, who suggested fishing a better option than writing, became my 1st degree connection on LinkedIn and wrote a mail to me appreciating my improvements. Well, I must mention that he apologized to me as well.



Both these developments, in addition to a lot more that I’d share with you later, made my life worth living a thousand times. I must thank God for being so kind to me at times, and also ruthless - whenever I fail to live up-to his expectations on several occasions - perhaps inspiring me to wake up the sleeping giant within.



So, whenever someone laughs at you, whenever someone writes you off, saying that you’re no good, never retreat to a state of deep hibernation but bounce back with a vengeance to prove them wrong. People would always criticize you, jokingly or genuinely, whenever there’s an opportunity, but, you must turn it to your advantage, genuinely.

Are You A Survivor Or A Warrior?



"The Devil whispered in my ear, 'You're not strong enough to withstand the storm.' Today I whispered in the Devil's ear, "I am the storm.'" -Unknown

I am not a professional Life Management Coach. I am not even a feather to any cap of excellence. I am a common person, who could come out of acute depression on his own without taking any external help. 

I did it by reprogramming my belief system with the help of knowledge I had gathered from reading 50 plus books and practicing the lessons learned. 

I did it by removing the weeds of negativity from the fertile soil of my subconscious mind and planting the seeds of positivity. 

I did it all alone, while fighting against the torture of destiny at the age of 56. I am 58 now, and ready to fight it out to reclaim my old glory and fame. 

No situation, no compulsion and no circumstance can force you bowing your head down, unless you yourself give up and decide to surrender. 

This post is addressed to those warriors of life, who are facing the extinction of hope. 


Endure the worst. 

Doing anything and everything to remain alive is your duty, responsibility and commitment to none but yourself. 

Life rewards those, who negotiate the pitch-dark tunnel of failure without losing hope for finding the way out through hard work and perseverance. 

Fight it out! 

Be a warrior!

Are You Capable of Controlling Your Anger?


Why people get so angry in normal condition also?

Just went out to a shop for getting some print out. Since there was a formatting involved, I requested him to do so and agreed to pay him for the same.

He got annoyed and started firing me, saying what do I think of him. Is he working for money.
.
I kept on saying sorry for few minutes, even though I didn't say anything offensive. He continued for 4/5 minutes and finally calmed down.

Out of curiosity, I tried to find out what was wrong with him and came to know that there is an issue in his family for which he was frustrated.

We must have control over our emotions, in every situation, and I am thinking to suggest him the book "The Four Agreements" to learn how to control the same - the way I started doing after reading that book.

Be The Knowledge Leader!

While surfing through photos posted on social media, you will notice that the image of an individual is integrated with the back ground of expensive Cars, Golf Course, 7 Star Hotel Restaurant etc - an inherent desire in every human to show off that s/he is better placed than many.

This is called Brand Dependence. More expensive and royal the brands are in the perception of our society, more valuable we think ourselves are.

Our own identity is identified with and defined by the brands we are using and attached with.

Our own values and ethics are determined by the reputation of the brands we are in possession of or integrated with.

I wouldn't denounce this established norms and practice prevalent in modern human society.

In fact I would appreciate it, only if, while being associated with those great brands - we gather knowledge and work smart to establish ourselves as valuable brands in terms of learning and sharing knowledge with others.

I am not talking about typical Film Stars and conventional Political Leaders; I am talking about who contribute great creativity to the humanity in every domain of life: Knowledge Leaders.

Let us develop our knowledge and skills to such an extent that we don't require the assistance of any brand to enhance our own branding.

Be the knowledge leader!

Why You Must Question Your Belief System!

A group of Scientists did an experiment once: They kept a few bananas hanging from the top of a cage and put a ladder leading to the same. On the roof, they installed a water sprayer.

Then they put 5 monkeys inside. Watching the bananas, monkeys started climbing the ladder. However, Scientists immediately released water from the spray on them. Getting wet, all the monkeys retreated.

Whenever monkeys tried going up, water was sprayed on them. After sometime, they stopped trying.

Scientists then replaced one of the monkeys with a new one. Looking at the banana, new monkey started climbing the ladder. 

No water was sprayed this time. But remaining 4 monkeys started bringing that monkey down and beat him up.

One by one, Scientists went on relacing all monkeys, and finally they had 5 new monkeys inside the cage who had no experience of water spraying from the top while attempting to climb up.

Strangely, none of these 5 monkeys made any attempt at going up the ladder, afraid of being beaten up by others. 

They only knew going up the ladder means torture by others, even though none of them had any idea why it was so.

In life, this is what happens when we blindly follow our belief system about many practices initiated long ago, never questioning the current relevance of the same.

PS: This is a story. May not be true. However, it makes a point.

Change Your Feelings, Change Your Life!

Change Your Feelings, Change Your Life!

We always think that our thoughts influence our actions. But there is a catch!

Imagine a situation: you have received a regret mail about the outcome of an interview you attended yesterday.

It went off so well, in your opinion. You are more than confident of cracking it.

However, the mail cites that you don't match the expectations of the interviewing panel.

It's over!

What is your emotional state of mind at that point in time?

You are feeling low, frustrated, depressed. I mean, you are in a negative state of feelings.

Thoughts coming to your mind now are influenced by your negative feelings; so are the actions you perform at this moment.

Are your thoughts determining the quality of your actions?

No, it's your feelings.

So we must have control over our feelings for generating good thoughts.

Isn' it?

How to change our feelings to generate positive thoughts for unleasing result-oriented actions?

Let me tell you what I do in such situations.

I start doing something I love to do, enjoy doing and get immense pleasure out of it - Cooking or Writing!

After sometime, I feel positive, energized and gain control over my state of feelings.

Whenever you feel low, do that, whatever you love to do, and change the way you feel.

Walk Alone, Don't Be Scared!

 1. It's better to walk alone, than with a crowd going in the wrong direction! By Diane Grant 

2. The soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone! By Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

3. Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart, and you'll never walk alone, you'll never walk alone! By Oscar Hammerstein II 

4. The woman who follows the crowd will usually go no further than the crowd. The woman who walks alone is likely to find herself in places no one has ever been before! By Albert Einstein 

5. Imagine you are walking down a leafy path...The sun is receding, and you are walking alone, caressed by the breezy light of the late afternoon. Then suddenly, you feel a large drop on your right arm. Is it raining? You look up. The sky is still deceptively sunny...seconds later another drop. Then, with the sun still perched in the sky, you are drenched in a shower of rain. This is how memories invade me, abruptly and unexpectedly! By Azar Nafisi

If You Want Success, Go Get It! Wake Up The Beast Inside!

If you want success, go get it! If you want recognition, work your ass off to achieve it. Remember, no body will hand you over anything. You have to do it yourself. 

Don't throw excuses for not being able to do it. Don't blame situation for your failure. Don't hold others responsible for your messed up life.

Wake up! Stop lying to yourself! And the only way to do so is to embrace the truth. The truth is, You have the knowledge and skills to make it happen in life in a big way. 

You can't achieve anything stupendous in life without accepting a huge challenge. You can't taste success in life without taking huge risk. Anything huge on one side of the coin "Life" has a twin on the other side.

Awaken the sleeping giant within, fight it out with all that strength and determination you have and go get it. Yes, you can make it. Yes, you can realize your dream. Yes, you can reach the summit of success. 

Wake Up The Beast Inside!

Never Let Anger Destroy You!


One night a snake found its way inside a hardware store. 

Slithering around, it bumped into a handsaw lying on the ground. 

Sharp teeth of the saw sliced into the skin of the snake, inflicting upon a bloody wound in its body. 

Thinking that it was a threat, the snake immediately bit the saw with ferocity and got a deep cut inside its mouth. 

Hissing with anger, assuming the saw an enemy, the snake immediately attacked it and wrapped its whole body around the same. 

By instinct, the snake started applying gradual pressure for suffocating the saw. Obviously, it couldn't do any damage to it. 

Instead, got badly injured by the teeth of the saw and bled to death. 

The snake got itself killed by own anger, by its own reaction, thinking that there was something out there to get it. 

Same thing happens in our life also. We think that others have hurt us. They are trying to get us. And we react with anger and resentment. 

While doing so, we carry the burden of a lot of negative energy within that hurt us only -- not the other person. 

In life, we must let go the negativity and treat others with compassion and dignity. There could be a compelling reason behind someone misbehaving. 

Forgive, forget and get rid of anger to look at life with a new perspective for creating the best out of it.

Story: The Power Of Positive Thinking!

A Shoe Manufacturing company, for expanding its business into a virgin territory, sent 2 of its Sales Representatives for market survey and further recommendations.


Both of them arrived there, conducted a detailed survey and found that none wears shoe in that place.


They went back to the Head Quarter and submitted reports to their Head-Marketing, along with suggestions for next course of action.


The first Sales Representative in his report says, since no one uses shoe in that territory there is no business opportunity exists.


The second Sales Representative in his report cites, since no one uses shoe in that territory there is a huge business opportunity.


Look, how different are the thought processes of two different personalities in the same situation: One is extremely negative, and the other is equally positive.


In life, what really matters is how positively we look at things even during the worst crisis and unleash a never ending string of powerful actions to convert every disastrous situation into a golden opportunity.


This story may appear very simple, but its practical implementation requires a major overhauling of belief system.

A True Story Of Great Determination!

This is a true story of great determination, shown by a young man, 20 years old. An act of exceptional courage and a never give up attitude. 

We read and watch inspirational articles and videos to keep ourselves motivated for executing difficult tasks. How many of us actually act on the same? 

Very few, I am pretty sure. But, look at this young guy -- he just did it!

I am more than sure, there are many such brave people like him; however, I thought it is my duty to highlight the story of the one I have just come across. 

I don't know, what this person is made of: May be, nerves of steel. 

Let me ask you a simple question: How many of you can do it, what he did?

Don't you have a better thing to do than keep crying over what situations did to you? 

Keep blaming others for what you are going through!

Holding destiny responsible for your failure!

Stop it! 

You are responsible; yes, you, yourself, are responsible for what is happening in your own life right now. 

Stop complaining. Stop cribbing. Own up the responsibility and do what best you can.

I have always believed that inspirations are there, everywhere, around us. 

It's just that we need to open our eyes and ears to capture the same for learning invaluable life lessons.

Well, without narrating the story, that I want you to go through yourself, let me share a video highlighting this amazing act of unbelievable will power!
