How to be a Winner?
Courage helps us to live in the most effective and sensible way. It helps us to concentrate on today’s tasks and pleasure, forgetting the past, and leaving the future to take care of itself.
Concern for the future is natural. We must make provisions for it. The only way open tours to influence it is by doing today’s activities to the best of our abilities to the best o four abilities. With courage we can turn our backs not the past. The future is not yet here and remains still to be shaped . We can act only in the present. To act consistently on this knowledge calls for courage. We have to preserve in our efforts to live solely within the confines of today’s circumstances.
Courage and perseverance help to build up a strong character . They build up self reliance. They lead to peace of mind, success in our endeavors and an end to obstacles. The quickest way to acquire courage is through help from other people. Friends can give you the inspiration you need, just like reading inspiring books. Two famous books you could start with are; “How to Stop Worrying and Start Living” by Dale Carnegie, and “The Power of Positive Thinking’ by Dr. Norman Vincent Peale.
Dale Carnegie suggests one method for facing troubles with courage, learnt from an expert in the air-condition business. This man’s advice was to decide first. “What is the worst thing that could happen to me in this present trouble?’ He would then calmly and quietly accept that the worst might happen and prepare himself to face it. Then he would ask. “How can I improve on the worst?’ Ideas would then occur that he could put into effect to help mitigate our avoid the worst.
Once you have mentally prepared yourself to face the worst, you always find the courage to take bold, practical steps to solve the problem.
Dr.Pele draws attention to a similar thought. “The primary fact about an obstacle”, he says , “is don’t be afraid of it”. He goes on to add. “The first thing to do about an obstacle is simple, to stand up to it and not complain about it but forthrightly attack it”. By this positive tackling of problems we will learn to know our abilities and our power to get things done. We will convince ourselves . “ I don’t believe in defeat”.
Determination to succeed is the factor that distinguishes people of great achievement from the rest of mankind. They are not content even with doing their best. They go a step further and try to improve their own records.
The famous American psychologist. Williams James used to say that most people use only about ten per cent of their ability. Ouspenski expressed the same idea when he said . “Most people inhabit a mansion but live only in the basement”.
Avoid self-pity. Be hard on yourself (but not on others). You troubles are no worse than others have to face. They are a lot softer than many other people’s . Regretting about your misfortunes will solve nothing. Only positive action courageously carried out in faith will get you over your problems.
Lincoln’s rules for living.
Do not worry, eat two square meals a day, say your prayers, be courteous to your creditors, keep you digestion good, steer clear of biliousness, exercise, go sloe and go easy. May be there are other things that your special ease requires to make you happy, but, my friend, these I reckon will give you a good lift.
Right thinking
Stop thinking about things you don’t want, and think about the things you want. Stop thinking about war, disaster, poverty, hard times , bad luck, panic, crime, evil, failure , suicide, disease, and death. Think and talk more about peace, plenty, health, life, opportunity, confidence, happiness , progress, power, prosperity, achievement, truth, success and justice. Your thoughts help to make a better world. Substitute cooperation for competition, love for hate, trust for suspicion, peace for war and service for selfishness. Right thinking is the greatest power in the world to establish peace and goodwill among men.
“To live in a goldfish bowl”
The expression “to live in a goldfish bowl” means to be in a situation that lacks privacy.
What the mind can conceive and believe , it can achieve!
Love is to human hearts what the sun is to flowers!
Behaviors is a mirror in which everyone displays his own image.
Quote from Gita
Karma Yoga and Jana Yoga Lead to the Same Goal
Who is fit to work in this way? the person who has controlled his or her mind. What happens when a person goes on working in this manner? The bonds of karma are cut asunder and gradually he or she attains perfect knowledge.
Sri Krishna exemplifies the practice of Karma Yoga in a special way. We see that although his mind and senses did an infinite amount of work, he had not the least desire for the result. Only incarnations like him are the real teachers of the world. Their lfie is meant for the spread of knowledge and for teaching humanity. Study their lives and learn to work like them. Otherwise , if we don’t learn to practice control, if we work with desire for its fruits, the mind will gradually become a salve of the senses, and the senses will destroy us. It wont do to be a slave of the sense. That wont help us in any way; we shall lose track of the goal. We should keep the sense and the mind under control.
Let us have a high before us and keep on working . We will see that a Karma Yogi reaches through work the same state that a Jana Yogi attains thought intense detachment. Both have the same goal, but their paths are different. Although the paths are not identical so long as the two are en route, there is not difference the two once the goal is reached.


I drive joy
There was a doctor in Benaras who spent 5 minutes in the morning and evening for mediation on God. Knowing this, his colleagues and friends laughed at him. One day they argued that he was wasting ten precious minutes on something, which he had been misled into believing. The doctor replied, “Well, if God does not exist, I agree that I am wasting ten minutes a day. But, if He exists? I am afraid you are wasting your entire lifetime. I prefer to waste ten minutes rather than a lifetime. Why should you grudge me the 10 minutes joy that I derive from? I am not robbing you of your joy; why should you rob me of mine. He asked. The critics were silenced. –Baba- Chinna Katha

Efficiency Means
Efficiency means making the best use of your time and talent so that you live to full rich level in all the fields of your personal and social life. Anyone who want to be efficient must know what exactly he expects in his life and carrier. Once he knows this he can more on a straight line to his target-goal.
John F Kennedy said, “My fellow citizens, ask not what your country can do for your country”.
Once your main goals are set up, rest of the work is comparatively more easy. To attain them you can be helped considerably by three qualities-perseverance, cheerfulness and sing mindedness
You must not be discouraged by failures or temporary setback, said Vivekananda. You must look at everything from its best side. Even from prison bars you must see the stars and not the mud!.
Only gracious way!
“The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it, if you can’t ignore it, overcome it; if you cant overcome it, laugh at it; if you can’t laugh it, it is probably deserved”
Really gracious
The really gracious expect no returns for their deeds of help. How can the world ever repay the rains?
Succour to the real poor
Your succor to the real poor alone is charity. Giving to all others is only bargain.
Abstain from condemnable acts
Neither matted hair nor shaven head is necessary to attain salvation if you abstain from condemnable acts.
Golden Words
The Best Day; Today
The Weakest Feeling; Fear
The Best Gift; Forgiveness.
The Meanest Feeling; Jealousy
The Greatest Need; Discipline
The most Expensive Indulgence; Hate
The greatest Trouble Maker. Gossip
The Worst Bankrupt; The soul that has lost its cheer.

Industry is the road to Wealth
Industry is the road to wealth and honesty to happiness; and he who strenuously endeavors to pursue them both may never fear the critics lash or the sharp cries of penury and want.
Good Luck? Bad Luck? Who Knows?
There is Chinese story of an old farmer who had an old horse for tilling his fields. One day the horse escaped into the hills and when all the farmer’s neighbors sympathized with the old man over his bad luck, the farmer replied. ‘Bad Luck? Good Luck? Who Knows?’ A week later the horse returned with a herd of wild horses from the hills and his time the neighbours congratulated the farmer on his good luck. His reply was, ‘Good luck? Bad luck? Who knows? Then, when the farmer’s son was attempting to tame one of the wild horses, he fell of its back and broke his leg. Everyone thought this very bad luck. Not the farmer whose only reaction was. ‘Bad Luck?Good Luck?Who Knows?. Some weeks later the army marched into the village and look into military service every able bodied youth they found there. When they see the farmer’s son with his broken leg they let him off . Now was that good luck? Bad luck? Who Knows?
Every thing that seems on the surface to be an evil may be a good in disguise. And everything that seems good ont eh surface may really be an evil. So we are wise when we leave it to God to decide what is good luck and what is bad luck and thank Him so that all things turn out for good what those who love Him-From the book”Sadhana”
Grow Rather Than Rot
Choose to love rather than hate
Choose to laugh rather than cry
Choose to create rather than destroy
Choose to persevere rather than quit
Choose to praise rather than criticise
Choose to heal-rather than wound
Choose to-act rather than postpone
Choose to grow rather than rot
A healthy attitude is contagious but don’t wait to catch it from others. Be a carrier.
Quote From Gita
Karma Yoga
Harmony between Jnana and Karma
According to Karma Yoga, we have got to work. We can never remain without working; so long as the body exists, some work or other must be doing . it is impossible for us to give up work.
On the other hand, we read in the scriptures. “So long as we cannot give up all work, we are far away from attaining knowledge and spiritual freedom. ‘
At casual glance, the two ideas appear to be highly contradictory. It is very difficult to harmonize the two views. In the Gita Sri Krishna offers the teaching of Krama Yoga to harmonize these two apparently conflicting views. He agrees that unless we reach the state of toal non-work, we shall attain neither knowledge nor peace. But that stage cannot be reached through mere physical abstaincee from work. That, in fact, will only make us hypocrites. Once we reach the blessed state of non-work, our body right continue to work but every moment we shall be aware of the truth that “ I am not doing any work. I am totally separate from the body and the senses,” Work can be done with such sill that , as we go on working, we gradually attain that state. The central focus of Krma Yoga, therefore, is on training oneself to be non-working even while working.

Winner & Loser

Monday 14-December 2009
Winner & Loser
A Winner works harder and has more time; a Loser hardly works and is always busy.
A Winner goes straight to the problem and solves it; a Loser goes round the problem, but never solves it.
A Winner makes a commitment; a Loser promises too readily.
A Winner knows when to fight hard and when to give way; a Loser gives way on important issues or holds on to things that are not worth fighting for.
A Winner feels strong enough to be friendly; a Loser is rarely friendly and at times can be a petty tyrant.
A Winner listens carefully; a Loser waits for his turn to talk.
A Winner respects other’s strength; a Loser focuses on other’s weakness.
A Winner learns from others; a Loser is resistant to others.
A Winner feels responsible for more than just his own work; a Loser says “That is not my job”
A Winner sets his own pace; a Loser has only two speeds; full speed ahead or dead slow.
A Winner uses time to improve a Loser uses time to avoid criticism.
A Winner is not afraid of making mistakes; a Loser is afraid of making mistakes and of what others will say.
(Bal Vihar)
Peace on Earth
There shall be peace on earth but not until, each child shall eat his fill, warmly clad against the winter wind and learn his lessons with tranquil mind and thus released from hunger, fear and need regardless of his colour, race and creed, look upwards, smiling to the skies, his faith in man reflected in its eyes.
Say to Yourself Every Morning
Today is going to be a great day.
I can handle more than I think I can.
Things do not get better by worrying about them.
I can satisfied if I try to do my best.
There is always something to be happy about.
I am going to make someone happy today.
It is not good to be down.
Life is great. Make the most of it.
Character to Admire
I admire a character who knows his faults and overcome them.
Who finds his weak points and strengthens them,
Who knows his needs and takes the initiative to obtain them.
Who ralise his obstacles and over comes them.
Who takes things in stride and accomplishes them as they come,
Who realizes his goal and achieves it,
Who receives praises and accepts it with modesty – In Live A fuller Life
Most Successful Man
The most successful man in this world is the one who thinks positively. The richest person is one whose needs are minimum. The strongest man is the one who has an unshakeable faith in God. The greatest man ins the one who is above fear. The large hearted is one who has compassion for fellow human beings who forgives the wrong doer and helps the needy. The healthiest man is the one who keeps himself occupied all the time.
Religion consists in realization.
Religion is not talk on doctrines or theories, nor is it sectarianism. Religion cannot live in sects and societies. It is the relation between the soul and God. Religion does not consist in erecting temple or building churches. Religion consists in realization.
The third-rate mind thinks with the majority, the second-rate with the minority and the first-rate mind thinks alone.

Quote from The Essence of the Gita
Beware of Distorted Teachings
Self-knowledge is the mainstay of the Vedas. This is the only national wealth of India. It is from India that this knowledge spread to the other parts of the world. The day that India discards this knowledge will be the day she is destroyed. It will take a long time for people in other parts of the world to appreciate and attain this knowledge. In the field of spirituality India is still the teacher of the world. Accept the British and others as your teachers in the fields of commerce, politics, warfare and other subjects, and learn from them. But they have not become fit yet to occupy the same place in the field of spirituality . what more foolishness can there be than to set aside the living embodiments of spirituality such as Sri Ramakrishna and others, and go to those foreigners professing other religions to hear the glory their faith!

TIPS FOR A MANAGER

Monday 7-December 2009
TIPS FOR A MANAGER
If you gather 100 experienced mangers together and ask for their advice, here is what you would hear;
1. Don’t be afraid of the phrase, “I don’t know”.
If you don’t know the answer, don’t try to bluff. If you are at fault, take the blame. If you are wrong, apologies. A wise person once said, “If you always tell the truth, you never have to remember anything’.
2. Never gossip.
If someone wants to gossip with you, politely say you are not interested. This corporate rule rings true; “When someone gossips, two careers are hurt-the person being talked about and the person doing the talking”.
3. No task is beneath you.
Don’t think you are above anything. Be a good example and take up the job-especially if the job is one that nobody wants to do.
4. Share the credit whenever possible.
Manager who spread credit around look much stronger than those who take all the credit themselves.
5. Ask for help.
If you think you are in trouble, before it gets out of had, ask someone for help-most people enjoy lending a hand. Besides saving yourself from embarrassment, you will make a friend.
6. When you don’t like someone, don’t let it show.
This is especially true if you outrank them. Never offend other as you move ahead.
7. Let it go.
What should not happen often does; you were not given the project you wanted, you were passed over for the promotion you deserved. Be gracious and diplomatic and move on. Having ill-feelings will not advance your carrier-culled from Indian Junior Chamber Training Volume-Courtesy; ‘Ideas Exchange’
It is not abundance that makes rich, but economy
HUMOUR
Like a man’s reputation.
A man once took a piece of white cloth to a dyer to have it dyed black. He was so pleased with the result that, after a time, he went back to him with a piece of black cloth and asked to have it dyed white. But the dyer answered; ‘A piece of cloth is like a man’s reputation; it can be dyed black, but it cannot be made white again.” –(East & West Series)
To know what his grandson will be!
Speaking of his ancestry Lincoln once humorsly remarked, “I don’t know who my grandfather was, but I am much more concerned to know what his grandson will be!
Goodness expands the heart
Goodness expands the heart and makes it humble. The larger and the better, the nobler your heart is, the more you will be inclined to make allowances for others.
Quote from Gita
From where will come the power to collect together the whole mind? All power is within us because the Self is the source of all power. The body, the mind and the intellect are only instruments of the Self. Using these instruments, the self is playing , as it were , a great game. Just as efficiency is lowered when the instrument goes out of order, the play of the Self too is affected when the mind and the intellect becomes impure. It is then not able to manifest its infinite power. If , however, the mind and the intellect are pure with a preponderance of serenity (sattva) , the power inherent in the self can manifest wonderfully.
