" COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS , NOT YOUR TROUBLES"

“ I cursed up the fact that i had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet” a Persian proverb. A real idea conveying a great meaning to life and confidence.This line, when you and i imagine, are left with a wave of shiver, make you to freeze and force you to think.We people,often get easily trapped and focus on what we don’t have and start cursing life rather than being grateful to what we do have. I promise you that you are not noticing the things on which you should be grateful. We all have life full of blessings.

Indeed, we are lucky. Let me start with a story, a story of mine. I noticed myself and started collecting my blessings and I am grateful for all. Earlier, I easily got trapped myself in things that I don’t have. I cursed up my life, when I saw that other’s have nice car, nice lifestyle. Then I changed my perspective towards my life, way of viewing other’s life. And I find myself luckier. I am grateful to my parents who gave such nice life, always ready to fulfill my dreams at any cost. I am grateful to a friend, whom I really admire, who is a part of my sorrow and happiness, who always keep motivating me, when frustrations start clouding over me and I feel sad. I am grateful to my roommate , who always help me in studying by keeping disturbance outside of room. I am thankful to all. Now, I never think that I don’t have car, I don’t have a nice house. Why should I? I don’t have them right now but I will have. That’s my attitude and we all should have the same.

Last night, millions of children went to sleep hungry. People are dying due to disease and natural disaster. Think about those children who lost their parents, think about the parents who lost their children whom they love most than their life. Think of babies who die before coming to life. Think over it. Feel the life. Don’t understand, FEEL it. And You will find yourself luckier. I came through a news about a newly born baby,born without a face, just two eyes only and a mouth. and we worry about traffic being heavy on the way to work.

Never think of your troubles. It leads nothing except frustration and disappointment. For some, it may be a cause for their motivation but there numbers are few. It will decrease your efficiency. Look towards other’s problem and then you will know how small yours problems are. It doesn’t mean that you should be satisfied with your life. Always think of great achievers and try yourself to place next to them but keep an eye over other’s problems so that your troubles never be obstacles for you.
Here, a word to think – perspective. Change your perspective towards life, people. Travel to different cities, meet most of different people, know about them. Take a look around you and you will start recollecting your blessings and make you realize how fortunate you are and your troubles will be dwarfed in front of them. Its a human nature to appreciate the things until it get lost because LOST THINGS ALWAYS VALUED MOST.

DISCOVER THE GENIUS IN YOU

You are a genius , in your own way. The only thing you need is to know , is what that unique quality is. Let me again start this with a story, a true incident.This a story of a boy, a very good friend of mine. I would not disclose his name. When he was in 12th standard, every friend of his thought that he would not succeed in the jee exam or will get a low ranks in other competitive examinations. And exactly same thing happened. he could not qualify for any one of the examinations. With positive attitude and confidence , he moved and prepared for another year for the examination. The results came and now he is in IIT, dream of every engineering aspirants. he did not try to focus on any other activities and other competitive examination like nift etc, except IIT. He focused on his studies. He improved daily, turned scars into stars and believed on himself. He brought out what nature gave him and ran over that formula and polished it with relentless devotion. Now , everyone calls him a genius. For many people , it might look ridiculous because they will say that there are 4500 students qualify every year, it got increased now but the noticing part that the way he brought out his genius is exceptionally well. GREAT!!! BRILLIANT. I , myself ,am a great admirer of him.
Know what you can excel at - your genius. Focus on it, polish it. Days turns into weeks, weeks into months and months into years and you will start operating in the world of competence and people around you will start calling you genius.

According of Robin Sharma, ceo of Sharma Leadership International , and one of the top coaches of world, said that focus plus daily improvement plus time is equal to genius. Understand it deeply and your life will not be same again. A BIG IDEA.

Micheal Jordon , one of the greatest of basketball player is a genius.Some people say he has an extraordinary talent. If so, then he should have been the greatest in two or three sports.NO,he focused on what the nature gave him and ran over that formula. Practiced it relentlessly. He did not try to focus on five different games. He did not scatter. He is what we see today.
Let me put another example,Thomas Alwa Edison, the great inventor of all time. He registered 1093 stunning patents over his life.he invented bulb as well as phonograph.He did not try to be a great merchant or a great poet. He focused only on his inventions.

People often use the word " LUCKY " for the greatest ones. Henry ford once said, " the harder you work, the luckier you will be" A REAL POINT.

Discover your genius and unearth it and develop it.Work with a relentless effort and devotion and polish it.You might be a good orator, you might be a good guitarist, a good painter.Know the area where you can excel at and develop it. Within three to five years, people will start noticing you , praising you and start calling you a GENIUS. focus plus daily improvement plus time is GENIUS.

A THOUSAND MILES JOURNEY BEGINS WITH A SINGLE STEP

" a thousand miles journey begins with a single step " a powerful concept.Let me start this with a story , a story about pablo picasso , the greatest painter of all time. One day a woman found him in the market and pulled out a piece of paper. " Mr. picasso," she said excitedly, ' i am a big fan. please, could you draw something for me?" Picasso happily and quickly etched out a piece of art for her, and said ," that will be a million dollars," but Mr. picasso ," the flustered woman replied ,"it only took you 30 seconds to do this." " My good woman," Picasso laughed, " it took me 30 years to do that masterpiece." Brilliant. Every dream starts small. When you take a step towards it, it means you are strolling towards your goal. Each time you move, you move closer to your aim. You can not be on the top of mountain by jumping. you have to move step by step and you will be on the top of mountain.While moving step by step, you will face obstacles,do not paid heed towards them. move slowly, firmly, and strongly.Feet should be on earth, eyes should be on the peak as "arjuna's eyes were focused only on the bird's eyes." the winners always stands alone. when they start journey, they are accompained by many peoples but when winners reached the top , he finds himself alone.For example, Richard Branson, chairman of virgin group, began with his little record shop, Steve jobs, ceo of apple inc., started apple out of his garage, Robin sharma, ceo of sharma leadership international,started with a few cases of self published book that he had printed in kinko's copy shop and 23 peoples were in his first seminar out of which 21 were his own family members.The person who fly in the sky, like Mandela, Gandhi, Steve jobs, Bill gates ...., they do not born with wings.What can be concluded is that they started their dreams small, moved firmly and reached on the top.Every dream starts small but you have to start TODAY.
