The Art of Learning from Setbacks

There is either success or learning. There is nothing called as failure. Many of us understand this by now, and most leaders and positive thinkers would say that they learn from every failure. But hold on, there is 'art' in learning too. It is not that simple to learn.

Learning can be revengeful, promising or self transforming. It all depends on why we want to learn...read on...

Knowledge Vs Wisdom

While we strive to acquire more knowledge and our areas of expertise, wisdom is something that cannot be acquired by reading, listening or experiencing. You cannot 'acquire your way' to wisdom. You need to 'let go your way' to wisdom....read on...

Creating Positive Chains - A Social Service Sitting at Home.

Over the last few years, during my interaction with thousands of my book readers and fans, I realised that there are so many of them who want to contribute to the society and the world around them, but are unable to do so for lack of time.

So, for all of you, who want to be a part of this change and impact our society positively, here is a simple way which my daughter recently learnt....

Our opinion about ourselves is all that matters

Our opinion about ourselves is all that matters. Really? 

Arushi found out about this niche life skill when she appeared for, perhaps, the toughest exam of her student life till now.

Equal Respect for all - Is it really that important?

How does it matter whether you give equal respect to someone who does something 'inferior' to you for his or her living - say your trash picker, maid servant or a security guard? Well, it could save your life one day....Read on...

Enjoy The Differences

The perspectives can be different, the intent could be different, the goals could be different, the person himself / herself could be different.... But that is where the beauty lies - in the differences that we carry. When my daughter encountered this strange phenomenon while doing her science holiday homework project last week, she learnt a few lessons on life... read on...

Time is the essence : Take quick decisions

Many times in life, we are afraid of taking a decision for the fear of taking a wrong one. But here is the fact. No decision is right or wrong, as long as you decide within a reasonable time frame. On the other hand, a delayed decision leaves you mostly on the losing side - because more than the value of your decision, you lose the most important ingredient, which is Time. 
Here is what my daughter learnt last week...Read on...

It does not matter how much you have

It does not matter how much you have, what matters is what you do with what you have. 

Like me, you must have heard this umpteen times in your life. It was only until my daughter narrated me its real meaning, that I realised its true power.

Dots connect only in retrospect

Ever wondered why a particular unfavorable incident happened in your life? Why is that you are mostly at the receiving end of all unwanted incidents? Why are you the chosen one? What have you done wrong? Actually, there is nothing 'wrong' in the picture. It is just that you are unable to connect the dots today. It is just a matter of time before the picture reveals itself....read on...

Love comes in different forms

Love is pure. At the same time, expressions of love can vary from person to person, or from one relationship to another. Are we ready to accept love the way it comes to us, or we have some preconceived notions of how love should be?

Would you be happier without Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram etc.?

Recently, a lady fell down in a drain while chatting on Whats-App. Kids are urging you to play with them, while you are getting irritated for not being able to read the latest joke that has been making waves in your Facebook group. Your friend has time to chat daily with her friend in the US, but no time to sit with her parents for 5 minutes face to face and tell them how the day went. Whom do we blame? Facebook? WhatsApp? Linkedin? Is running away from technology going to open the doors for your happiness?

Discipline....A game of energies

Whether your child wants to achieve extraordinary results in his or her school, or you have a career ambition to fulfill or you have some extraordinary goals to be achieved in life - each of these will require a lot of effort and hard work - which needs immense energy reserves within you. And if you haven't learnt to optimize the energy reserves within you, it becomes all the more difficult to achieve those goals. Let us see what optimizes this energy level within us...read on...

My little contribution

So often, we are faced with situations in life where our contribution to change things around us seem just so little, so tiny that it seems like a waste of effort. Again, it is about how we look at it. A different perspective can change things around, and give us the motivation, desire and the energy to continue to change.

Daily Duels of Right Vs Wrong

Is it celebration time?

The worlds largest living organism also needs support

The Giant Sequoia tree is the largest living organism on earth, reaching into the heavens nearly 300 feet.  One of them can produce enough lumber to build thirty-five five-room homes, and you can drive an automobile through the trunk of one. Though this is a trait of the Giant Sequoia tree, the question is whether it can do it alone? and can we achieve anything of our own?

The uprooted plant and my judgment

Do you know that we judge more than 100 situations in a day, every day. Worse, do you know the amount of energy and that we could have saved, and the extent of our happiness that we could have conserved, if we just start accepting these situations...
A little uprooted plant  taught me so much....Read on..

Get..Set..Transform

Change is simple. And Change is also reversible. You can decide to change from tomorrow, like deciding to go for a morning walk everyday. You may do it for a few weeks. But you are likely to change back to your usual self, sooner rather than later. 
You changed on both occasions. What you need is not change, but transformation. Transformation is a different ball game. It needs commitment, practice and a burning desire...read on..
