I Am Still Alive

I am at my learning stage
will be learning and experimenting all the way
Don't judge me a success or a failure
I am yet not complete
I am still alive

Don't record my journey I have traveled
or will be traveling
Record the way I have traveled
and developed myself as a tourist
Don't judge me what I have seen
or what is still unseen
I am yet not complete
I am still alive

I have seen the rise and a deep fall
tried to rub the past from my canvass
but impression was there on the great wall
Don't judge me by those sketches
by the colours and marks on the wall
I am yet not complete
I am still alive

I am evidence of many miracles
read many springs and many falls
yet everyday something surprise me
play with me, make me child
Don't judge me with my tears
with feel of many smiles
I am yet not complete
I am still alive

If still you want to judge me
judge me by love I spread
the way I touch the lives
The moments of my awareness
The depth and thinking high
Though I am yet not complete
Though I am still alive

Trust in Destination

Whenever you board a bus, the destination is always confirmed. You can see people asking, "By what time we will reach there? Or how long will it take to reach there?" Means the destination is there. Reaching there is confirmed.

I have asked a medical student in a medical college, are you a doctor? He replied yes, but for saying so it takes one more year. The day he got the admission in the college, he was sure to be a doctor.

Why don't in life people are assured of being successful. Reaching the destination. Getting what they want in life. The simple reason is that they do not have the trust in destination. They don't have a fixed destination. Instead of boarding a bus, they roam about on bus stop, asking which bus will go. How can we reach there? Is it sure that it will reach there?

And many a good people just fascinate or fear of the vehicles and ways, without deciding the destinations.

Are you not one of them?

Congratulations!!! You are not one of them. But do you have trust in your destination?

People don't have trust in destination for:

1. They don't choose the right vehicle. This means they do what they don't like. The work which is not suitable for them or they are not suitable.

2. They start loving and securing the vehicle and seat instead of journey and destination. They focus on job than on work. They always work to secure their jobs and they start feeling it as a life goal, instead of a way to achieve their goals. The way to reach the destination.

3. They don't feel that working there is their decision. They unable to take the onus or responsibility of the decision of accept the work they are doing. They feel it a force of either circumstance, reference or choose something good to take a skip door from taking responsibility.

4. They do not trust the driver. They take him as incompetent. There is lack of trust, a feeling of responsibility and relationship between organisation (employer) and employee.

5. They always focus on other passengers, not on their own destination. You can evidence best practice humour, where people are running for different destinations but taking all as running in their competition. If not than they keep stranger to co traveler and take them so.

6. They lack patience. There was a person traveling by the bus. He got it confirmed at the beginning that the bus will take four hours to reach his destination. But every five minutes he kept on checking his wrist watch and asking from others by every fifteen minutes for how much is remaining.

7. They don't aware of the places or mile stones traveled or passed on the way. In school every year we are shifted to next class, which is the acknowledgment of moving higher. But in normal life people unable to mark the miles stones. In absence of it they don't enjoy and felt achieved for what they got.

8. They always expect the executive class while paying the fare for economy class. Always expecting more than they give or pay.

9. They keep on changing their destination before they reach the first one or unable to acknowledge reaching their in focusing on next one.

To have a successful and enjoyable journey one must have trust in destination; enjoy the journey and milestones in between. Be true and honest to self and run his race with helping others in reaching their destinations. This is winning, winning together.

Entrepreneurship is a Decision

Every year thousands of people start their business but only a few could survive by the end of year. I meet the successful people and those also who surrendered in between. Meeting all the people, I found that both have worked hard, all have done whatever is needed to run a good business.

Both the sides have the same market, same challenges, and possessing good knowledge. They all worked hard, similar working works, though the non survivors have more working hours. Than what is lacking between the two. In some cases the good investment and family support was not good enough to taste the success.

I read many books, study many great successful people and found a golden rule, the mantra of success. The golden rule as a road map to success. The compass to correct the direction, always. I found that "Entrepreneurship is a decision." Entrepreneurship is about visualizing a clear success. A clear vision and image of a beautiful tomorrow. A decision to creating it.

I learn what they decided. A decision, though looking simple but was carrying the seeds of prosperity and growth. The way to work. The constitution, the correcting measure. Some words with confidence and passion. Words to taking onus, the responsibility for all. The words are, "This is my decision or I have decided this"

The decision was consist of following promises. The promise saying that I have taken;

1. A decision of self discipline, to be accountable for my every action.

2. A decision to not to stop until I reach the destination

3. A decision of doing right things.

4. A decision for creating new opportunity for people to work.

5. A decision of understanding the needs of people and providing in time solutions for the same.

6. A decision of being leader, creating ripple effects.

7. A decision of thinking new and innovative ideas.

8. A decision to be successful, making own ways though not reinventing wheel.

9. A decision to raise the bar of perfection with continuous improvement.

10. A decision to value the time.

11. A decision to build relations and dealing human first.

12. A decision to be good ears. The ears which are open to all, either to self or to others.

13. A decision to think possibilities only.

14. A decision to take in time actions.

15. A decision to be an initiator always. Counting my actions.

16. A decision to communicate understanding.

17. A decision to understand the two Golden rules of nature, "What you saw that you reap" and " There is a time between sawing and reaping."

18. A decision to be a source. A source of happiness, love, gratitude, forgiveness, appreciation and encouragement. A source of being a solution always.

Where a decision carries these strengths, the success is a guarantee. The success is winning, winning together.

LEADZ, Five Steps to Success

Human success is the primary focus from centuries. All the way we try to find the better reasons and methods to be more successful. To understand people, thinkers study the life of successful people and that of failures too. The life of successful people to repeat what they do and that of failures to avoid what they commit. The nature taught of the law of interdependence and what you reap is what you saw.

When I search and read lives of different many people from the top achievers to a common man, I was surprised. The steps and process is almost same irrespective of field and height of success or achievement. The age becomes immaterial. I am sharing with you that five step formula, which can lead any average person to high level success.

The steps are easy to understand and follow by any person, in any circumstances. They are in consonance of natural laws.

The first is Love. Loving every person for the sake of loving only. The belief in human potential. Love is so powerful and most needed emotion in every era. The need of love can be seen in plants and animals even. Foremost is to love self.

Next is Encouragement. Encouragement to do the right things and improve on limitations. When a child tries to stand first time in life, stand and walk first step with stumble, everybody encourage him to do so. That mere encouragement leads to the walk of many lives from childhood to reach many heights.

Food is the need of every human to live, so as Appreciation to grow in life. People can live without food but cannot without appreciation. The hunger of appreciation is stronger than that of food. People are more introduced by don'ts than by dos. More we appreciate the people for right things, more we attract the right things in our life.

Development should be the nucleus of every action and thought. There should be clarity on the meaning of understanding. Asking repeatedly, "Why am I doing this? What is my purpose of doing this? Does it take me a step ahead towards my purpose?"

A body without breath and action without Zeal is dead. The zeal, the enthusiasm, completes the thread of development. Encouragement and Appreciation are incomplete without the zeal. Zeal makes the things 100%. Zeal is the energy needed to reach any destination in life.

To summarise Love, Encouragement, Appreciation, Development and Zeal are the steps to take or focus to achieve anything in life.

Our Mission should be "do the Encouragement and Appreciation with Love and Zeal to let the people Develop and grow at their fullest, as every living being is gifted with a unique identity and virtue by the God."

What is Parenting?

Giving birth to a baby, providing good education, a good career and provision of other day to day facilities. It can be extended to their marriage. Is this all a parenting? if not, than what is parenting? What is known as good up bringing? How the responsibility of this does different from that of school?

When first time I faced these wonderful questions, I have tried to find the replies of it from my childhood. From the lives of my uncles, neighbours and parents of my school mates. To understand this great word, I requested my mother and elder sister to share some of our childhood stories. I visited some schools and learn some fine things from the teachers, especially from the primary teachers.

I got expansion to this definition. I have searched some literature and seek the understanding of my colleagues and brothers. In the last not the least I asked some questions to my angel daughters of age five and six.

I learned that parenting is a system of giving responsible citizens to the nation and human to world at large. A responsibility to shape your creation beautifully and an ideal for others. I am sharing what I learnt from all the above time investment. The parenting is

1. To provide the basic needs of life viz. good food, good shelter, good clothes and a hygienic environment.

2. To provide a good school education. Teaching the difference between education and literacy. Understanding the life and living.

3. To develop the right habits. The use of gifted right to respond.

4. To be the role model of your child. Live as you wish to see your child in future.

5. To demonstrate values, morals and ethics. The power of giving and sharing.

6. To develop right paradigms, attitude and metaphours. Creating good belief system

7. To provide a right thinking process and teaching power of words. Be emotionally strong.

8. To teach the history as good lessons, a development process and gratitude towards our ancestors.

9. To teach them importance of asking right question and teach them how to ask those questions.

10. To nurture them with the love, appreciation, encouragement and develop them with passion.

11. To be the bridge between their present and their future. Be helpful and unhelpful as needed by time and events.

12. To share a quality time with them. Providing attention at the right time.

13. To help them in understanding relations and their contribution in shaping their life. The responsibility of a good neighbour.

14. To give them leverage in understanding religion, the way and importance of worship, its relationship with spirituality, humanity and growth of life.

15. To develop good rituals and understanding of culture.

16. To teach them value of time, money and communication. Their role and importance. Their use and abuse.

17. To teach them to be aware and to be on the track of self improvement always. Understanding the nature and its laws. The law of change. The golden rule of "what you saw that you reap."

18. To develop a high self esteem.

The list can never be exclusive but is an inclusive one. The points enumerated above are the foundation of a good human society. A bliss life of your loved ones.

When the parenting becomes an oath to be responsible for all the acts of your child and grow them as above, it will be winning, winning together.
