Sarkar maine aapka namak khaya hai!!!

ab goli kha - ha ha ha ha
I am sure you all have heard this dialogue at least 100 times...

Friends - in today's times...
- "SALT" is "Opportunity"
- giver of the "SALT" is "Opportunity Provider", and
- taker of the "SALT" is "Value Provider"

if someone has given you "Opportunity" - please give him maximum "Value"

Our primary responsibility is to keep providing maximum "Opportunity" and "Value" to each others.


- Do you respect and give maximum "Value" to your "Opportunity Provider"???
- Are you getting enough "value" from your "Value Providers"???


For a secure, happy, stress-free, guilt-free day - give "Maximum Value" to your "Opportunity Providers" – every day, every week, every month….

Remember - every time you give more "Value" - you are buying more security & happiness - a guilt/stress-free life :)

Give maximum "Value" warnaa Gabbar aaa jayega...
Gabbar = Insecure, unhappy, stressful, guilt-full future…

What do you stand for???

What are your Personal values?? 


List top 5 personal values - that you will never compromise on. 
List top 5 personal goals - your every action should be targeted towards these goals

Your Confidence, Passion & Productivity will always increase when your personal mission is expressed in your daily actions.

Today's actions will bring you satisfaction, but only when they go in the direction of your mission. 

The actions you take and the results you produce are living proof of what's most important to you. 


The only evidence of whether you value something is if you are taking any action on that. 

For you to live your values, they should be a part of your every action & results everyday every moment – at office & home.


Can you say loudly everyday while looking in the mirror??? 


"I live each moment day for what I've declared to be most important in life."


"I don’t compromise on my personal values – No matter what”

Undesired People & Situations...

People (including you) repeat the same mistakes all their life – only the extent is different – (Pl observe your action, behavior and decisions)

People are who they are and will remain what they are – at most a person can normally change is 10-20% (anything more is a bonus) - not more.

The quicker you accept this fact, the sooner you will be able to deal with all types of people & situations.

You will never find perfect people or situation.

Everyone has flaws whether they realize it or not. Look at things objectively and accept people for what they are.

Keep patience & accept the fact that...

• Just because you think it is a good idea, others may not think it.
• Everyone has their own way of doing things. (It is OK – if you get the desired results) You can suggest other alternates, but accept that it may not happen.
• If you feel that you are butting heads with another person and be the bigger adult by stopping and walking away (even if it’s only for a minute). This will help all parties clear their heads.
• Do not expect everyone to agree with your views and be willing to hear others.

Accepting People and Situations as they are - will reduce friction in your life - and smoothen your life journey.

Problem = Opportunity

Friends - Life is full of experiences that are pleasurable and ones that are painful, but there are no "bad" experiences.

Every experience can be a valuable teacher.

Think of every experience as something of value -- an opportunity for growth, a lesson learned or a chance to move in a new direction. Look for the opportunity in every problem.

Problems are God's way of sending Opportunities.

There are facts, and then there's your interpretation of these facts. The actions you take -- and the results you produce -- are completely dependent on how you see the facts. You can focus on the best in every situation or you can focus on the worst.

There's a problem in every opportunity and an opportunity in every problem. Interpret the facts negatively and you're left with little power and fewer opportunities. Change your point of view and you're empowered to create the best results possible -- no matter the circumstance.

Look for the best in every situation, and the opportunity in every problem.

Want bigger better results???

To get results you have to make effort. 
To get bigger better results - you have to take bigger and better action.

There is no way to get around taking action if you want real life results - There is no shortcut.

Pump up your enthusiasm. 

See what's positive in any situation - Positiveness will help you find enthusiasm - and make it easier and more pleasurable to handle situations. Be around positive people, things, books, audios, videos, news - anything and everything with loads of enthusiasm.

Just do it. 

Can't plan it fully?? not confident to DO it?? don't feel enthusiastic enough to ACT?? 

Just go and do what you want to do anyway. After a while you will be glad you ACTED, because you will get results & learning. And you will feel proactive, enthusiastic and good about yourself.

"Knowing is not enough; we must APPLY.
Being willing is not enough; we must DO."

the most precious gift of all...

T I M E !!!

Ask anyone facing a serious accident or illness, or an important deadline. Ask any parent watching their little girl all grown up and graduating from high school. 


You must learn how to become accountable for every minute in your day, because each moment wasted, is a moment lost forever. It is a permanent loss.


Concentrate your time on only those things that produce the greatest reward and satisfaction to you.


Put a value to your time and start calculating. Start calculating how much you earned or lost in a day - hour. 


"Value every precious minute in the day."

"Big & Juicy jobs usually go to people who prove their ability to outgrow small ones." 

Lights.. Camera... what's next???

ACTION!!!

Action is the key to the success. The more often you put your ideas into action, the faster you'll achieve success.

Don’t wait - You're the director -- call for action and roll the camera!

Immediately Apply New Ideas and Practice Until Mastered.

Ask yourself...

1. What can you put into action in your life right now?
2. What one idea do you really wish you could adopt? What is stopping you?
3. What one action can you take right now that will move you closer to a new and improved habit?

You waste all the time you spend learning new ideas when you never use them. You have to implement great ideas or they will never make a difference. If you want to change an old habit, you need to replace it with a new one. If you want to become more skillful, you have to practice the skill. The more often you put new ideas into action, the more adept you'll become at making them your own.

"Apply new ideas as soon as possible, and repeat them until mastered."

So, Who Didn't Fall Off Their First Two-Wheeler?

..but you can't stop driving after that!!!

When you do something, no matter how poorly, you decrease your fear and gain the information and experience to do it better next time.

Don't stop yourself from acting - just because you fall once.

Success is the direct result of taking the right actions, the right way, at the right time for the right reasons.


Be confident. Just discover what the right actions are and do them.

Your success isn't limited by past mistakes -- but by your willingness to take the right actions right now! 


Decide what you want to achieve - Commit to Actually DOING Whatever It Takes -- Then DO It.


If you're committed to do whatever it takes until you get it right -- you will eagerly proceed with the confidence to succeed.

Be confident - you can succeed at whatever you do, as long as you simply take the right actions.

Is there a still better way???

Let go of the "way I've always done it" mentality. That one phrase will handicap your future progress by closing off any innovations and improvements.

Take just one current task and ask yourself, "Is there a better way?" By looking, you just might find a way that will surpass anything you've done in the past.

Embrace Change -- Grow With the Flow.

What other ways could you be doing your present task? How would they be better?
Are your automatic routines as effective and efficient as they've always been?
Which of your old routines should you either abandon or completely revamp today?

There are no limits to who you can become. 

The only constant is change -- and the only way to keep up with change is to learn and grow. 

The more you learn and grow, the more progressive and effective you'll become. 

Keep expanding your possibilities by being open and receptive to new ideas.

If you're not constantly improving your learning power, you're falling farther behind -- and your earning power may be falling even faster.

"I embrace change, and love to learn and grow from new ideas and experiences."

“I believe – there is always a better way”

What you do tells everyone who you really are...

What happens to you is not as important as what happens within you.

It is not your position in life but your disposition (your inclination) that will determine your success.

You reveal your real self to the world by your behavior (reactions) and actions.

Accept that all things are difficult before they are easy and it will change your outlook on so many things.

Your thoughts have brought you to where you are today. Change your thoughts and you change your actions. Change your actions and you are on a expressway to success.

Focus on your reactions and actions... 

What you do and How you do is what you really are...

Before you lies two paths...

Before you lies two paths --- honesty and dishonesty.

The shortsighted choose the dishonest path - the wise choose the honest one.

When you help others you help yourself, when you hurt others you are hurting yourself.

Character overshadows money, and trust rises above fame.

Sooner or later everyone sits down to a banquet of consequences.

It is better to fail with honor then succeed by fraud.

There is NO Right Way to do something Wrong!

Unless it is the question of your BARE BASIC needs – “Honesty is the best policy”

Why is Friendship different from any other relationship???

A true friend is a priceless gift. 


A friendship with true friend has - no expectations, no judgments, no transaction....


When we reveal our hopes, our dreams, and our deepest secrets to these friends, and they still like and respect us, such people are to be cherished. 


All too often, the only reason others wish to spend time with us -- to be our friends -- is because of what they perceive we can do for them, not the other way around. 


A real friendship is reciprocal, one in which each friend benefits. 


You can earn the friendship of others by making all your actions & behavior of the kind that deserves respect from friends. 


When others look up to you, it should make you even more conscious of the responsibility you have to treat them with the same respect you would like them to afford you. 



A friend is one who knows all about you and still respects you.

Team Sport OR Spoil Sport???

How courteous & friendly were you with people around you yesterday??
How will you treat the people around you - today??
How frequently do you express a genuine respect for the other people you work with??


When you treat others with courtesy and respect, you will get the same from them in return - increased cooperation and help.


Search for the best in every person and discover ways you can be of mutual benefit to each other. 


To grow faster in life - Bring Out The Best In people around you.




Be Respectful, perceptive and empathetic towards people around you.




No one can do it all. No one knows it all. We all need each other's help to grow.


There is so much to be gained from the knowledge, experience and unique perspectives that others can provide. 


Discover the unique talents of everyone you meet, and respect each person for what they have to offer. 


Never take the benefit or value of the other person for granted. Never-ever.


"Life is a team sport where each player can make a valuable contribution to the whole."

One simple genuine act or gesture....

Friends – your negative energy affects not only you but also people around you??? your family, friends, relatives, colleagues…

So STOP spreading negative energy; your - negative talk - negative words - negative body language - problems – pains – frustrations!!!

Spread positive energy - It takes only a Smile :) or a simple YES or a little genuine appreciation or a patient hearing…

Your one simple genuine act or gesture can totally change people’s mood for the day or outlook towards life...

The amazing thing is, by lending some of your good energy to others, you don't lose your good energy, you actually gain more of it!

Forget about yourself and your problems - and spread positive energy to others - Immaterial of who the person is - Spread some positive energy.

You will be shocked at how good it makes you feel... 

You have no other option in life – but to be Positive

"Today is NOT my lucky Day"

Some people start their day with a negative expectation. For example, they don't get bus on time. They will say, "Today is NOT my lucky day!!!" "Aaj to mera din kharab hai"

Then, they will keep saying the same thing for the rest of the day, on every minor inconveniences, unexplained challenges, or other less than expected events. 

Negative thoughts lead to negative attitude, approach, actions, reactions and a negative day.

If you start your day with a negative thought and negative expectations - you are inviting a bad day - and when something good happens - you won't even recognize it!!

Think - "Could it be worst then this???" OR "are there people facing greater challenges than you???"

Friends – THINK Positive – TALK Positive – DO Positive – I am sure today will be a LUCKY day for you.

Those who wish to sing, always find a song..
Those who wish to learn, always find a teacher.. 
Those who wish to teach, always find a student.. 
Those who wish to grow, always take initiatives.. 

There is always a way for a positive person.

Why think Positive???

Negative-minded people think maintaining a positive-oriented life - doesn't work :( 
Below are top 10 reasons to live a positive-oriented life. I am sure you can think of many more.... 

1. Negative people never contribute much to this world. They're convinced it won't work, even before trying.
2. Everything in life is a challenge (negative people call it PROBLEMS) -- Your future is defined by how you welcome and respond to these challenges.
3. Positive people focus on results - negative people focus on problems. Let us be aware of the thorns in a Rose BUT focus on flower.
4. Negative people have no hopes - so they never think fresh ideas - positive people always bring new ideas and possibilities.
5. Positive people live a healthier, longer, better life. Politicians – actors – most of the people in power or public life.
6. Positive people adjust better to the challenges - mentally. Most of the psychological problems are the direct result of looking at things from the wrong perspective, and as a result, not adjusting to the changes that life brings.
7. Positive people are more focused. One of the greatest challenges people have in life is staying focused - at work, home, or on the road.
8. Positive people see more options, have more patience, and try and work things through more clearly. Negative people focus on negative approaches to problems, and as a result, they limit their options.
9. Great things tend to happen to positive people. Seeing new options leads to new opportunities. Seeds tend to grow best in ground that has been well prepared.
10. "Attitude Determines Altitude." When you have the right attitude, you go higher, do better and achieve more.    

We become what we think about most of the time.


Be Positive because You deserve the Happiness and Growth that you will get in return.

Do you have the "KEEDA" (VIRUS) in you...

Why does Sachin Tendulkar bat so well??? – For Whom??
Why does Lata Mangeshkar sing so well??? – For Whom??
Why does Amir Khan act so well??? – For Whom??

Why do these people need to excel in their domain?? 
Why do they take so much pain??
Why are they so committed??
For MONEY??? FAME??? 

NO – Friends – They don’t work for money or fame – many people have that more than them – There problem is they have a “KEEDA” (VIRUS) - a desire and drive to excel - no matter what!!!

A “KEEDA” to EXCEL in whatever they do
A “KEEDA” to do something extraordinary
A “KEEDA” that doesn’t let them do a low quality work
A “KEEDA” to see big dreams and the “KEEDA” to do anything to achieve them…

Ask yourself - Whom do you work for??? and Why???

Do you need someone to ask you to FOCUS???
Do you need someone to MOTIVATE you???
Do you need someone to ask you to do HARDWORK???
Whose GOALS do you work for???

Do you have the same “KEEDA?”

Friends trust me – they were not born with this “KEEDA”
If they can develop this “KEEDA” – you can too…

maybe you will not become Sachin, lata or Amir – But with this “KEEDA” – you will be PROUD of yourself – you will be more “CONFIDENT” for yourself – you will have a “PEACEFUL SLEEP” – your family & friends will be PROUD of you – above all GOD will be HAPPY – that he sent you on earth….

How to remove boredom from your everyday life???

No Excitement - No Variety - No Freshness - Nothing new?? - In Life?
Below are 7 ways to remove Boredom in LIFE – at work and home…

1. Do something new and exciting - Don’t wait - Just do it - You don't need a permission to do something good - exciting - new - any action...
2. Do unpredictable things - What is the fun in watching a movie - if you know all the story, dialogues & songs??? Don't be afraid to try new things that you'll enjoy; never let it get to a point where you or people around you can anticipate every move. 
3. Do something different - Action without passion is quite dull; never ignore the fact that, no matter how good you are system there is always a scope of doing something different
4. Do something Extra - to prevent yourself from getting tired of your routine - put in a little extra effort every once in a while.
5. Change things around you - Try simple little changes in everything sometimes - pen, brush, wallpaper, bedsheet, dress, hotel... the possibilities are endless. 
6. Try some change - Try to change your communication - pace, language, pitch, style… learn new words - new language - try new ways of communicating
7. Do some experiment – a new recipe, a new dress, new colors - try something new – anything that will break the routine – the boredom.

Friends - life is simple - you don’t have do insane things – just try something different / some extra effort every once in a while.


Just remember that the opposite of boring is spontaneous and unexpected. 


So if you try something spontaneous and unexpected sometimes, you and people around you will never get bored.

How long will a Storm last??

We all have experienced the sunny days, the stormy days, and the overcast (cloudy) days. 


The sunny days represent good times. The storms are the challenges we all face, and the overcast days are days when things are just mediocre.


We need the storms & the overcast days to help us appreciate the sunny days. If it was sunny every day then we would start taking it for granted. We need the challenging times to make us appreciate the good times, and they help us grow and learn.


And, on the overcast days we can see the sun trying to peek through the clouds and we can focus on the hope that the storm is breaking up, or we can chose to focus on only the clouds. 


All our lives we will have storms, but the most important thing is that we have hope for sunnier days. 


Our attitude will determine what we see, and more importantly, what we focus on – you will always get what you focus on…


If our focus is only on the storm we will not get beyond it. But, if we focus and hope for a sunnier day then our attitude can become one of moving forward, getting beyond where we are now.


How long the storm lasts in our lives depends on our own attitude and focus; the more positive our attitude, the shorter the storm. 


While we can't control the weather, we can control our attitude and focus.

"Yeh jeena bhi koi jeena hai lallu"

Are you a bore??? no passion?? no hobbies?? no junoon?? no adventure?? no fun? no enjoyment?? no pagalpan?? don’t like your work??

Pistol without bullets – mobile without sim – Lata Mangeshkar without voice – rainbow without colors???

“Life without Passion & Excitement” is “No Life at all”

You spend 10 hours at “Work” – 2 hours “Traveling & Preparing for Work” - 8 hours “Sleeping” – this means you spend just 3-4 hours a day of non-working time – in which you give time to family.

This means almost 70% of your time is on work when you are awake…

Life is too short to spend 12 hours (70%) a day being miserable. 


Make a decision to have more fun and enjoy your work-life more.  

1- Love whatever you do!! If you don’t - how can you be happy about it? 


2- Cultivate work happiness! Ask yourself what YOU can change to make your routine more interesting.


3- Don’t differentiate between working and non-working life! Only people who don’t have fun at work need to make the separation.


4- Keep yourself motivated and productive! The fact is that unless you change things, nothing will change. 


Be Passionate at work!! Do something new!! Have some pagalpan!! Be a kid!! Have Fun!! Enjoy Life!! – You deserve it!!

Simplicity = Happiness

Why do people make life more complicated than it is? 

Well, one answer may be old habits that you need to let go of and replace. 

Another answer is that your life isn't really that exciting. So you add drama and complications to make it more interesting and stimulating. That's at least what I used to do in the past.

But instead of doing that you can take the more difficult path and actually solve this forever.

If you find yourself sitting around too much and not having enough to do then it's very easy to get stuck in thought loops and go into a downward spiral. 

Simply by filling your life with more fun activities and people you become a lot more relaxed and have little time or patience for complications or drama from yourself or others.

So spend less time analyzing life and more time living and exploring it in whatever way you'd like.  

This leads to better self confidence and less fretting about if you can handle things that may come up.

I hope this will inspire you to start simplifying your life in small and perhaps big ways too.

"Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated."

What is excellence???

How would you differentiate between mediocrity and excellence???
Can you deliver excellent results???
What separates Good from Great???

Friends - are you passionate about small - little details???

Excellence is about focusing on every little details - and delivering incremental quality in each one of those details.

Customer delight - always comes from excellence in details.

“If you take care of the little things, the big things will take care of themselves.”

Every job is composed of many small details, any one of which, if overlooked, can create big problems later.

Every small thing matters!!!

“Excellence is in the details. Give attention to the details and excellence will come.”

I'am Sorry!!!

Friends - Today is our "Kshama Day" or "Forgiveness Day" (8-day Paryushan ended yesterday - Paryushan means coming together)

Just like Thanksgiving Day is meant for thanking for good things, Kshama Day is meant for asking one and all for Forgiveness and forgiving others.

Allow me to beg of you your pardon for any wrongs, 
excesses, sins, that I might have done onto you.


I take all the responsibility of any sorrow, pain, or anguish caused to you by me, and atone for the same.

Seeking you to forgive me if knowingly or unknowingly or directly or indirectly I have hurt you

But think of it - its so easy to say Sorry, Thanks or Please - Do we actually mean it?? are we committed to it??? Do we feel it???

Don't say Sorry, Thanks or Please unless you feel it - mean it and get committed to it.

Value your Words and the World will value you.
