What is Your Priority in Life?

2006-04-17T21:02:00.000-07:00

Many persons are very ambitious. They work very hard and enthusiastically in life to achieve their goals. They read a lot to enrich their knowledge and maintain good public relations. Still success eludes them for years or even decades. They try new ideas, make time tables, do sincere introspection. They are determined to succeed. Unfortunately nothing works for them.

What can be the reason? Even these persons explore the reasons again and again. Sometimes depression rattles their nerves and they huddle up on their chairs in sheer exasperation. Whenever they find something lacking they work hard to gain that. Soon they are back to square one and another round of introspection starts - mostly a vicious circle that never seems to end.

Probably the solution to their problem lies in redefining their priorities in life. In fact it should be the most important step of one's life. Without concentrating on priorities nobody has achieved any major success in life. To break this jinx they need to act in the following way:-

a) Write your goals, write deadlines
b) Read them daily
c) Make a daily to do list - keeping the priorities in mind
d) Remember that you have to be ready to lose something to gain something
e) What are my priorities? Ask this question from yourself whenever you have to choose out of two or more things.
f) Don’t try to make others happy by sacrificing your priorities. This tendency can often lead you towards failure and depression.
This is also the secret of success of most of the entrepreneurs. Dhirubhai Ambani, great Indian businessman who made Reliance the biggest oneman show in the country, also inculcated this success formula into the minds of his children.

Bill Gates didn’t waste his time in scores of activities which could disturb his focus. He knew his priorities and was hellbent to work for achievement in the field he liked - the secret behind his success.

Most of the people develop a tendency of wasting time on such activities which are not related to their aim. To enjoy simple funs of life or to keep others happy they indulge in gossips, watch television or movies, play indoor games like chess, roam with friends or relatives, explore the internet, learn a dozen unnecessary things, spend too much time in fruitless reading etc. Therefore they fail to achieve their aim. Success continues to elude them till they learn to follow their priorities in a determined way.

What thrills you most. That deep passion will generate money for you.

3. Work Like Devil

As soon you discover your passion start working like a devil. It means surround yourself from head to toe in the aura of your passion and work harder and harder to achieve your goals.

His craze for computer was so great that within a week he surpassed the knowledge of the computer teacher. It is a devilish tendency to learn or complete a work.

4. Gain Knowledge

5. Observe the Competition

is deadly in modern world. If you are not aware it may ruthlessly trample you down and suck your whole energy. You must observe it carefully. Bill Gates is reported to watch competition around him with an eye of eagle. He is as tough as the Himalayas. Nobody has been able to challenge him. But before he starts his war with the competitors he always extends a hand of friendship. He offers a price and asks his competitor to be a part of Microsoft - making the company bigger and bigger.

6. Be Brave and Fearless

In the jungle of modern business charity may be there but the word 'mercy' doesn't exist. Deadly wars of survival are to be fought daily. And you have to be a brave and fearless warrior. The weak-hearted or the timid can't earn much money. Everybody knows the bravery and fearlessness of Bill Gates. He is like a great warrior in business.

7. Accept Challenges

It was time when Apple was riding high with its Mac operating system. Bill Gates was still trying to care his niche. He contacted Apple for license to sell their system. Apple CEO refused bluntly. It hurt Bill with deep uneasiness. From that very moment he took a challenge to invent his own operating system. With his dedicated team he plunged into work day and night. The result was Windows that revolutionized the IT industry.

8. Plan your Moves Like an Army Chief

Everything changes fast and a modern business has to work on the their of new and easy. Products become outdated and slate soon. You have to bring new and better versions.

13. Postpone Your Marriage

Emotional energy play a great role behind the success of a person. The common saying that there is a woman behind the success of a great man is not always true. If two people are in love they have to devote a lot of attention and spend a lot of energy to keep each other happy. And the business is the sufferer. Bill Gates was lucky that he didn't fell in love and his business got his complete concentration. He fell in love only when he was highly successful, and luckily the girl Melinda too proved dedicated like him.

14. Listen to your heart

Bill Gates never cared about the expectations of his parents or others regarding his career. He listened to his heart and plunged into the work he liked - software development. He didn't want to fulfill the dreams of others. He pursued his dreams and filled them with rock determination.

15. Spend in Charity

Greed is the root of all evils. It is good to love money but it should be generated by dedicated work not by greed. And always spend a share of money for the welfare of mankind. Gates is spending millions of dollars every on charity work.

16. Refrain From Luxury

Although Bill Gates a Billionaire at the age of 31 he never though to spend his money in luxury. Whatever he earned he reinvested it in developing business. Like other billionares he has no craze for luxury yachts, half a dozen aircrafts and helicopters, palatial homes in different countries, romancing with the most expensive women. That is one of the reasons why it is difficult to beat Bill Gates.

ELEVEN COMMANDMENTS OF BIG SUCCESS

2006-03-15T10:18:00.001-08:00

If you want to reach a destination fast you need a good road and a good vehicle or a sky route and a good airplane. If you want to communicate to far away places, you need telephone or internet connection. Similarly to reach the destination of success you need to follow the following eleven commandments of success.

1. Burning Desire

Without a seed you can’t imagine to grow a tree. And without a burning desire in your heart no big achievement in life is possible. First you desire than you try to fulfil it. And if a desire is big it must be very passionate. Only a burning desire can turn you into a volcano of energy that will help you to achieve it. Napoleon Hill (one of the greatest motivator in the world) wisely wrote in his blockbuster ‘Think and Grow Rich’ - Wishing will not bring riches. But desiring riches with a state of mind that becomes an obsession, than planning definite ways and means to acquire riches, and backing those plans with persistence which does not recognise failure, will bring riches.

2. Written Goals

A desire becomes a goal as soon as you write it and give it a deadline. Suppose you have a desire to own an MIG flat. Now write this desire as a goal and give it a deadline (the last date to buy). Now it has become a goal. Your mind will focus on it and try to arrange sources which can help you to get a flat. If goals are not written they continue to be desires for long and our mind is unable to focus on it determinedly.
Goals should be in accordance to your talent or psychological make-up otherwise you may find it very difficult to achieve them. Till your subconscious mind is ready to help you can’t achieve your goals. And sub-conscious mind of a person helps only when goals are set after analysing the personality thoroughly. They must harmonise with your inner strength. If your talent is suitable to achieve stardom in acting you will be a failure as a producer. Amitabh Bachchan is considered the greatest Indian film actor till date. But when under the pressure from certain quarters he decided to become a producer too he failed miserably and deeply fell into debt.

3. Written Plan

After writing your goals you need a plan to achieve them. Every step should be planned thoroughly and it should be in written. It becomes a blueprint for your mind to follow. You are able to manage the events and efforts easily. Don’t hesitate to bring minor changes now and then if necessary.

4. Faith

Every religious guru inculcates the law of faith in their followers. In ancient times although the means of communication and transport were few and very slow yet the religions spread at astonishing speed to far-off corners of the world. It was the miracle of the law of faith. A religion always demands unquestioning and committed faith in Guru and God. The whole energy of the followers is expected to nurture the grand tree of religion. The more faith the followers have the more a religion spreads to all directions. The same passion of faith in oneself and one’s mission generates a mind-boggling power which is almost impossible to stop. Absolute faith transforms your mind and body into a powerful magnet. It attracts the desired object towards you powerfully and definitely.

5. Positive Self Image

A person is almost a slave of his self-image. As soon as he tries to cross its boundaries he starts stumbling. Many times he falls flat on the floor. Self image drives a person hard to fulfil its own mission. Your subconscious mind is the godfather of your self-image. So to refine self-image or to get the self-image of a successful personality you have to feed your subconscious mind with positive affirmations and visualisation. Self-image of a person is always completely in tune with the law of attraction of this universe. It always attracts in your life what is deeply stored in it. Therefore a negative emotion, if deeply implanted in your mind, can be called a dangerous demon always ready to hit you from all sides . Without improving self-image it is almost impossible to make progress in life.

6. Importance of a Role Model

Ten years ago I asked an eleventh class student (son of my friend) what he wanted to become in life. He told that he wanted to become a big sotware engineer. He was influenced with the phenomenal success of billionaireNarayanamurthy (CEO of Infosys for twenty years and now its Chairman. He was voted the World Entrepreneur in 2003) and had pasted a picture of this great entrepreneur in his study room. Having a role model had an impact on his psychology. He completed MCA and took diploma in software engineering from a famous institute.Now that student has become a successful software engineer. He is working in Infosys and drawing a salary of Rs.90, 000/- per month. He is always enthusiastic and expects to rise to great heights.
Many successful people in life have role models. They are impressed by a successful personality; they study that personality thoroughly, learn the secret of his or her success and duplicate the same in their own life. In this way they also get success. Therefore role models are very helpful because they always enthuse you and give you confidence. But all the young men don’t have role models. Many of them don’t want to follow the footprints of any successful personality. They challenge the conventional wisdom and find new and better ways to progress.

7. Strong Action

Most of the seeds won’t grow till you help them grow with strong action of nourishing them with care. Even the strongest army of the world will lose a war if it doesn’t take planned and strong action against the enemy. Thinking and planning won’t bear fruits till you take determined action to fulfill your dreams. Almost all the successful persons are very active and hardworking.

8. Persistence

Calvin Coolidge has defined the importance of persistence in a wonderful way: ‘Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.’ The slogan “press on” (persist) has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
The success stories of almost all the great and successful persons clearly stress on the trait of persistence. Without the simple but magnificent trait of persistence nobody can go across the boundaries of mediocrity. So try try again until you succeed.
9. Affirmation
Affirmations are of two kinds - natural or intentional. Natural affirmations come to a person from the surroundings. He develops the habit of positive affirmations. His affirmations are mostly vague and in the sub-conscious. These hidden affirmations are very powerful and influence the career of a person to great extent. Negative affirmations in the subconscious cause failures in life. You often find people saying: ‘I am trying my best to change myself but I am unable.’ Battling with a negative subconscious mind is often futile till you feed it with positive affirmations for a long time.
Intentional affirmations are those which we learn intentionally and decide to act upon to attain certain objectives in life. You have to choose your affirmation wisely that can help you to fulfil your burning desire. Here is a list of positive affirmations which can change your life: I can succeed, I have power to win, I am earning a lot of money, Day by day my life is getting better and better, I am becoming healthier and happier, I think victory and I get victory, Wealth comes to me easily, I am happier under all circumstances. Choose one or two of these affirmations according to your requirement and repeat them often. The positive results will definitely amaze you.

10. Visualisation

Affirmations work better when combined with visualisation. What we affirm we also imagine that thing happening. We form pictures or visuals of that affirmation. Or we make a mental movie in which we see our desire being fulfilled. We see ourseself as a person we want to become. Visualisation should be in total alignment with your burning desire and affirmation. Any disharmony may confuse your subconscious and sabotage your progress.

11. No Hesitation

In many movies as well as in real life the romantic hero lost his heroine to the villain only due to his hesitation. He loved the heroine passionately, pursued her persistently, visualised life with her, had enough faith in himself but failed because due to utter respect towards her and hesitation he failed to say to her: I love you and want to marry you. As a result the beautiful heroine developed a doubt and didn’t rebel strongly when she was being married to the villain forcibly. Doubt and hesitation can sap the energy of the mightiest of the warriors and fail them in life. Arjuna, the great Indian warrior was ready to fade in the pages of history due to his hesitation and indecision till the great persuader Krishna game him a sermon on the value of decisive and hesitation-free move. Even the greatest world leader and advocate of non-violence Mahatma Gandhi declared that violent man is better than a man of hesitation - the man who does nothing.
Realise the massive damaging power of an attitude of hesitation as soon as you can. The heroine of success may decide to spend life with a wily conman but rarely with a hesitant fool. No extraordinary results or achievement are possible till you learn to assert yourself, move ahead and express your self or your needs in a determined manner.

Art of Good Public Relations

2006-03-15T10:18:00.000-08:00

Learning art of good public relations is immensely essential to make progress in life. How to deal with customers, friends, relatives or other human beings must be learned by any aspirant of high goals. Even if we are not ambitious we must be adept in the art of public relations. After all we are civilised and developed human beings. Irrational communication techniques or rude behaviour bring only troubles and failures. Art of good public relations helps us to move towards our goals smoothly and successfuly.

Crush Your Hesitation

The first and the foremost step towards good public relations is to be free from hesitation. With the barrier of hesitation you won't be able to move forward. In modern world nobody likes the attitude of hesitation in people. Such people are extremely boring. People have neither time nor patience to carry on with such people waiting for their hesitation to crack up and open a good communication channel. The best remedy for hesitation is to talk more and more to more and more people.

Be Polite

Trait of politeness is the most attractive feature of one's personality. A polite and wise person is appreciated and welcomed everywhere. It plays an important role in keeping wonderful public relations. People love polite persons because they are able to communicate to them easily. They hope polite persons are also good listeners and solve the problems. They are considered reliable.

Show the Etiquette

With simple etiquettes - like saying good morning, asking about health, offering water or tea, helping a person sit comfortably - any person can impress others easily. Actually etiquettes differentiate a man from animals. The best part of human civilisation is the etiquettes a human shows towards others.

Sense of Humour

Sense of humour opens up many closed doors of communication. It thaws the rigidity, melts stubbornness and warms up the cold hearts of the people. Humorous people are soul of every party. But sense of humour should be graceful. Never attack the weakness of a person in order to make others laugh. Such jokes cause you to lose respect and dignity.

Listen Carefully

People are bundle of emotions, always wanting to express something to somebody. Thus they need good listeners. If they are not listened to properly they feel frustrated. A good listener is also appreciated by the members of opposite sex. So what are you looking for? Give a considerate listening to others.

Power of Appreciation

If you develop the habit of appreciating right persons at right times nobody can stop your progress to great heights in any field. By appreciating a person you win his confidence because appreciation helps a person to get more positive self-image. Whenever possible that person rewards you with orders, contracts, promotion or helps you in any way he can.

Now we can see immense wisdom in these words of Thomas Fuller: 'More flies are taken with a drop of honey that a tun of vinegar.'

The Best Strategy to Become Wealthy

2006-03-15T10:17:00.000-08:00

Believers are a terrific breed of men and women. Nothing daunts them. They are afraid of nothing. If they have doubts, they rise above them. They become persons of power. These big, rugged souls sweep everything before them. They are doers, achievers, winners. They have the magic world - belief.’ These are the words of great writer and consultant of 20th century Norman Vincent Peale whose practical success philosophy helped thousands of young men become millionaires. In fact the strength of our belief implanted in our mind decides the amount of wealth and power we are going to receive in our life.

How Do They Perform Miracles?

A lecturer in University of Delhi Dr. M.K. Soni suffered from migraine headaches for ten years till he decided to visit a saint. The saint was famous for making people free from diseases just with the touch of his hands. Having lost faith in Allopathic treatment Dr. Soni decided to visit the saint. He thought if other people were getting healed he might get too. The saint touched his head and hummed a Sanskrit Mantra and assured him that he would heal after five visits. After the spiritual treatment my friend never had any migraine pain again.

My student Kamaljeet Chadha similarly got rid of his stomach pain (caused by stone) by several touches of a saint. Each one of his family members, friends and even the doctor was amazed to know that not only the pain but the stone also vanished like vapour.

Whenever business goes down or any economic crisis crops up several people go to astrologers or temple priests to know about the remedy. After spending some money and getting the divine solution many businessmen suddenly find that their business starts picking up. Hundreds of people get cured every month by the simple treatment or touch of many saints or priests. Is their any divine intervention or these astrologers or saints h ave some real magic powers?

The Power is in Your Mind

These saints or priests haven’t got any magical powers. They just invoke the power of your own mind which heals you. Many people get cured by dipping into the holy water of ponds at religious places. The healing power is not in the water but in the minds of the people. The faith implanted in their minds starts the strong inflow of positive rays as a result your immune system fights the disease successfully.

In the similar way the power of your mind can help you to earn wealth and become successful in life. You don’t have to struggle to get any thing in life. Struggle is out. You can use your mind easily and comfortably to get whatever you want. Just wish for a thing first. Then convert it into a burning desire. This burning desire will push you in the direction of your goal.

Write Your Desires

Whatever your desires are you must write them on a paper with a deadline. Suppose you want rupees one million in six months. Write your desire on a paper with the last date of getting it. Everyday our mind is cluttered with thousands of thoughts. Consequently it often becomes difficult for us to concentrate on various tasks till we write them on a paper or in our schedule diary. It is necessary to be practical while writing desires or setting goals. Living in the world of irrational goals or wishful thinking may even dampen your enthusiasm or confidence.

Show Gratitude, Don’t Be Proud

There is a proverb that ‘gratitude is lively sense of future favours’. It reflects the truth of psychological science. Even if you are going financially tight don’t cry or moan. Say your thanks to God for whatever you have. If you need two glasses of water to quench your thirst and you get only half still show your gratitude to God for that. It is necessary to be happy in all types of situations. By developing this habit law of attraction works for you better. If you are happy you attract more happiness, if you are sad you attract more sadness in your life. Similarly say your thanks to God even if you get a very small amount of money. Then according to the law of attraction God will send you more money.

Saints in all ages have taught us that we should be contented with whatever we have and God will give us more. With all our aims and desire for wealth and power we must not get upset and develop an irritant behaviour. Such people start repulsing success. The more they try the more distance they bring between them and their aim. So the secret lies in an attitude of happiness and gratitude for whatever you are getting at present.

Start Your Career from the End

Ambitious people always start their career from the end of their life. Most of the people just float and make decision as the time demands or according to their desire at a particular time. But the best strategy to achieve your ambition in life is to begin your career from the end of your life. If your burning desire is to become an actor then start visualising that you have already become a successful actor. Law of attraction will start working and you will start proceeding towards your goal. If you want to become a very wealthy person then start thinking that you have already become wealthy. Wealth is coming to you and you are getting respect of the people. In the beginning you have to force yourself for this type of imagination. Gradually you mind will work better and you will start attracting wealth in your life.

Respect Money in Your Life

Many people don’t respect wealth and have a tendency to waste it mindlessly. Such persons are rarely able to earn large amount of money. Even if they get it by luck or from parents they lose it soon. If you respect wealth you attract it more. Whenever you earn some money never waste it or spend lavishly. Make a budget, save some portion in the bank. Invest your money wisely to earn more. People who remain poor in life actually don’t know how to respect wealth.

24 Hours Wealth Consciousness

To maintain 24 hours wealth consciousness you need to think wealth, sleep wealth and watch wealth. Every thought of your mind should be an attraction for wealth. If you feel a certain thought is repelling wealth or interrupting your wealth making effort you must work to end the origin of that thought. As soon as your wealth consciousness becomes very strong you start becoming wealthy.

It is not always easy to maintain complete concentration towards wealth making. Sometimes a person sabotages his own efforts. He becomes his own enemy. Such a tendency is mostly caused by negative experiences of childhood or bitter anger hidden in subconscious mind.

Once, a businessman came to me to discuss his trouble. He was unable to become a wealthy person instead of working very hard. He had a habit of earning and losing wealth. After questioning him I found that his psychology was contradictory. One part of his mind was very ambitious and he sincerely wanted to become rich. The second part of his mind was actually repelling wealth and failing him. This portion of his mind was connected with the irrational and fighting behaviour of his wife. Although he wanted to see him wealthy but whenever he was angry he wanted his wife to suffer due to lack of money and experience pain in the same way like he suffered pain due to her unnecessary fights. Therefore even after earning a lot of money he lost it very fast causing immense misery to him and his wife. His subconscious mind got satisfaction in it. And it was the root of the problem.

He was not only reading books to earn more money but also working day and night. At the same time his hatred towards his wife was generating a conflict in his sub-conscious. He was able to understand the basic problem soon. I advised him to award his wife on every success even if he was angry. He needed to divert his anger in physical exercise. If he still wanted to punish her he should stop talking to her for some time. His old method of punishment was sabotaging his own efforts. After a few months as he got success in changing his mental conditioning he started becoming wealthy. His mind was attracting wealth with more determination.

If you are determined and you have a burning desire then no power in the world can stop you from becoming wealthy.

How to Win People to Support Your

2006-03-15T10:15:00.000-08:00

No person in the history has yet got success without the support of other people. These people may be your family members, your friends, good contacts in different walks of life or the masses. You have to go to others to help you succeed. Success is actually a team work. Great leaders become great because they know how to make others help them to become great. No businessman can be massively successful without active support of financial institutions, the customers, the men from bureaucracy. How you can expect a writer to succeed if he is unable to influence an agent or a publisher. The first requirement of any success is that you should have some value to give it to others and second is the support of the people who can highlight and push you ahead. And there is age-old one point formula that can help you to get the support of others: appreciate with heart.

APPRECIATE AS YOU LIKE

Don’t try to copy others or force yourself to appreciate. You must proceed in life according to your own unique talent or psychological make-up. If you can’t appreciate the masses appreciate the persons who are capable enough to push you. If you can’t do that just appreciate your family members. They will do their best to find ways for you. Or simply appreciate some friends. See how enthusiastic they become to help you hit the field of your choice successfully.

THIS LAW NEVER CHANGES

Nothing is permanent and everything changes in this world. But the basic human character like the laws of Physics remain the same. For thousands of years people have been using this magic formula of appreciation in every country to gain power or get success in business, politics, social or marital relations.

You must remember that only following this law of human relations can’t guarantee you success in your ventures. You must fulfil the first condition of creating some value in your life to give to others. Only that value is exchanged with money or success.

RESPOND FAST

If people (friends, family members, colleagues, commoners) try to communicate with you never ignore them. There are phone calls , letters in the letter-box, e-mails in the inbox but many persons rarely respond. Consequently they lose customers, friends, relationships and support of many other persons. Although it is a good policy to ignore the junk mail or useless calls but responding fast to the good ones is very necessary. Only then you can build good relations and prepare support areas.

People of modern world may respond to telephone calls but they become extremely lazy when there is a need of answering a letter or an e-mail. And they lose business. Success drifts away farther. Those companies always have better chances of success who are careful to the problems of their customers, who appreciate their customers and give importance to them. Whoever responds better to customers, whoever cares for them will get more of them even if the customers are charged more.

TOO MUCH OF EVERYTHING IS BAD

You must appreciate others to get support but overdose of appreciation may prove useless. . Like a medicine overdose of appreciation may make people habitual of it and in some cases it may even spoil them. You may even be called a flatter. So always appreciate in a few words and only now and then to make it very effective. Such appreciation improve your image, endear you to the persons and definitely enthuse them to push you to success.

How to Get an Aura of Power

2006-03-15T10:12:00.000-08:00

Knowledge is increasing at the speed of light and every field is becoming very specialised. And almost in every field we need consultants to help us improve our image and learn the art of influencing others. Both businessmen and politicians now engage specialists who chalk out solid plans to improve their image. Now a days people don’t judge you with your hearts instead they form an opinion of you seeing the image you are reflecting. They decide their further steps to deal, communicate or help you based on your image. Even if you are struggling in life to achieve something show others that you are already having some power. Here are some steps which will help you form an image of a person oozing an aura of power and strength.

1. Associate With Powerful People

Start from your area. Find out the powerful and rich people of your area - businessmen, politicians, journalists, religious gurus. Don’t underestimate the value of religious gurus. They have their own power circle. When you associate yourself with powerful people you get the same glow of power on your face and others think that you are also powerful.

2. Wear Nice Clothes

Nice clothes not only influence others but also give you a feeling of confidence. The richest person of India Azim Premji may be wearing simple dresses and having a simple life style but for a beginner it is necessary to invest some money in nice dresses. Because people attract to the person wearing good dresses. Good dresses always indicate wealth and power. Great writer of motivation books Napoleon Hill had to strugge very hard to achieve his aims. Struggle taught him that first impression of a person was always created by his dress and manners. Other traits of his personality came later. Although he was financially very tight yet he arranged some money and bought some very impressive dresses. After that he was welcomed in the circle of influential people. At this stage law of attraction worked better for him and he started making progress in life.

3. Keep a busy schedule

Big people always have a busy schedule. If you suddenly visit them you find them busy and they don’t have time to talk to you Whenever you call them they seem very busy. They rarely have time. It is not always easy to meet them. You have to pass through several layers. You can’t enter the office of such a person easily or directly. In brief they are so busy they are never easily accessible. Appoint someone who attends your calls, screens them and creates an impression that you are not a small fish. Visitors should be made to wait for some time before they are allowed to meet you. Your secretary or assistant can also help you to write letters, keep records, make phone calls.
4. Set up a good office
A nice office always boosts your image. Keep it neat and clean. There should be a computer, an AC in it. A beautiful and smiling secretary must be at the reception to welcome the visitors. Furnish it in a modern way. Get yourself photographed with some powerful persons and keep those pictures at the reception.
5. Choose a well-thought career
If you want to create an image of a rich and powerful person you should choose your career carefully. Never indulge in the work that can lower your status. Even if you earn a lot of money as a roadside vendor it will always become your handicap on your way to power. So choose a work or field that can create an impression even if you earn less in it.
6. Keep a nice mobile
You also need to invest some money in a nice mobile. Cheap or simple mobiles can decrease your aura of power. A mobile phone now a days has become an important instrument to enhance your personality. Like a good car a good mobile is a status symbol.
7. Do you have a car
In case you don’t have any car buy one as soon as you can. Cars are available on easy instalments. Always drive a good brand even if it is a second-hand car. 10 Year old big car is much better than a small new car. A big car is the biggest status symbol in the society today. Also keep a driver whenever you can afford.
8. Visit the same places
Observe the rich and powerful people of your area carefully. Make such arrangements so that you are able to attend the functions they attend, join the societies they are associated with, eat or dine at the restaurants they visit, go for a morning walk where they go. It will not only improve your self-image but also give you a chance to strike friendship.
9. Learn to speak well
Most of the rich and powerful persons are effective speakers. They choose their words carefully. And above all they speak less which give them an extra advantage of being mysterious. You must have a good command over the language you speak. Also gain fluency in English. It will improve your image immensely. Bad speakers are always hated and ridiculed by the people.
10. Keep cool
Powerful men always keep their cool. They handle every difficult situation in an optimistic and calm way. Never let your angry feelings control your action or speaking. It will always lower your image. To maintain a calm composure do meditation and take any aggressive exercise. Whenever the anger of your heart needs an explosion drink a glass of cool water or chilled juice and count from one to hundred. Then make yourself busy in some work.
Delegate your work
As a powerful man you are not expected to make simple calls, do the simple work related to your office or home. You always get such work done by others. Delegation helps you to focus on the main tasks of the day.
Move boldly
Always move in the society boldly and confidently. If you have a habit of hesitation you need to get rid of it at earliest otherwise it will be very difficulty for you to make powerful friends. Intentionally meeting more and more people and talking to them will help you to be free from hesitation.
Keep suspense
Be unpredictable and mysterious. Although it is necessary to do all your work in discipline yet now and then your action should be unpredictable. Nobody should be able to have an idea what your next move can be.
When you maintain an aura of power around you law of attraction starts working. You actually become very powerful and wealthy after a few years.

2006-03-15T10:11:00.000-08:00

1. They influence your luck

It has been wisely said that a man is known by the company he keeps. By observing the friendly circle of a person we can tell about his character and traits. If you move with the drunkards you will get their habits and start drinking. If you move with the poets you will soon develop a way of thinking like theirs. And if you move with the rich and powerful you will soon learn from them the art of becoming rich and powerful. Rich or powerful people are the parts of the same coin. If a person has a lot of wealth he is also powerful. And a person who has political power mostly has a lot of cash.

The person who moves with the rich and the powerful can never remain poor. New opportunities always enter his life. By associating with them he associates with new and lucky breaks. One of my students Ranjan Kumar was running his own manufacturing plant having an annual turnover of more than rupees twenty five lakh. A few years ago he was in deep financial trouble - with a bank loan of rupees seventeen lakh and workshop without much work. He had struck friendship with a person whose father was chief engineer in a famous car manufacturing company in Gurgaon. Soon he got a good manufacturing order from that big car manufacturing company. It established his business and soon he became financially very sound. Czar of Indian business Dhirubhai Ambani was famous for his good political links which helped him rise in business very fast. In 1995 my cousin Saravpreet wanted to start his own business in London. He didn’t have to borrow money from banks or financial institutions on interest.

Moreover it was difficult for him as he neither paid income tax nor had any property. But during his two years of stay in London he had cultivated a large circle of influential friends. He collected about one lakh pounds just in fifteen days from his friends and started a construction company. And due to great links he never faced any dearth of business.

3. Social forces never crush you

For a common man it is not easy to make good progress in life even if he has talent and works day and night. Various social forces (most of the times negative) are ready to crush him at every turn. He has to pay several taxes, give rent, grease the palms of many greedy officials or inspectors of various departments, fill the belly of some criminals or mafia (if entangled), spend money to follow the norms of the society, fulfil the demands of several kith and kin. Many disheartened businessmen have to close their business, many lovers have to abandon their sweethearts, many young persons have to change the course of their career just to avoid clash with the various social forces. Many persons ruin their future under the crushing waves of these forces. But a person with rich and powerful friends can easily overcome these forces and moves confidently in the society.

4. They boost your self image and confidence

Rich and powerful persons have much stronger self-image and more confidence comparing to other men or women of the society. Their pockets are fat and they can influence events. By mixing with them you become the same improving your self-image and gaining in confidence. You are self-assured that people are there to take care of you in hour of trouble. Your personality improves to great extent. Your walk becomes the walk of a winner.

5. How to make such friends

Many readers may be having a desire to make rich and powerful friends in the society but they don’t know how to proceed successfully. It is easy. Take the following steps and you will never lack satisfactory circle of influential friends.

a) Maintain A list of contacts

Your first need is to maintain a list of contacts and potential friends. You have to revise this list every three months. Delete contacts which are no longer necessary. Add new persons to your contacts list regularly. Don’t forget to update addresses and phone numbers.

b) Send them greetings and gifts

Everybody wants to get greetings and gifts. Most of the people use this easy method to maintain friendship and relationship in their life.

Carefully make the final list of the invitees. Continue adding new persons in your contact list. Never call all and Sundry to waste time and money. Mainly those persons should be invited who can boost your self-image and career.

d) Ask their help in time of need

Friends are not made to keep in the showcase of your life. Friends are their to exchange views, discuss on various things, help to solve problems and make life a beautiful journey. Whenever you think you need the help of your friend you must ask without hesitation.

e) Change your life style

If you want to make progress you need to be somewhat showy. It will be very helpful in establishing the relationship with the persons you need. Wear good dresses, drive a nice car, keep an attractive mobile.

2006-03-15T10:09:00.001-08:00

LEARN TO MANAGE YOUR TIME WELL

Whenever you see a person complaining for shortness of time and saying that due to lack of time he is unable to do this or that always think that he is an expert in wasting his valuable time. If you manage well you can find time for so many things and get a mark of satisfaciton on your face.

Good time management is as essential to succeed as good career/business management. Time once wasted never comes back. If we lose our time today due to mismanagement or negligence it will harm our career tomorrow. Managing our time today is essential to make big progress tomorrow. Time is more valuable than money. If we don't value time we can't earn much money.

To face bitter and harsh competitions from all sorts of small and big forces you need to use every minute of your time wisely and to its maximum value. To help the people manage their time better there are paper and electronic planners, books, CDs, softwares and consultants. Workshops and seminars are also held to help businessmen to extract maximum out of their time.

Actually your progress, performance and even happiness depends on proper utilisation of time. The time once wasted can't be got back. Many persons lost millions, many kings lost empires, many businessmen lost great opportunities, many generals lost wars due to bad management of time. Even wastage of a single minute can alter the course of history some time. Time management is actually self-management. It needs a lot of discipline and self control.

1. USE A SMALL DIARY:

Instead of putting everything in mind it is much better to take everything in writing - both plans and schedule. Keep a small diary which can fit in your pocket. In the beginning pages write your chief and other aims. Then write your yearly aim. Then the daily work schedule. One diary should be used for one month only. Many persons use a big diary for the whole year. But this diary can be kept only in a briefcase. And some persons find it irritating to keep a briefcase always with them. A small diary is feasible. It is always with you. In brief, void using complicated planners and keep your time management simple.

2. PLAN IN ADVANCE:

Every successful action whether it is career, business or war is planned in advance and in detail. Without a good planning for your life you won't land anywhere. So plan everything and maticuloucly. Plan a whole week in the evening of Sunday. Or it may be your first task on the morning of a Sunday. Daily schedule should be written before sleeping or early in the morning every day. The time invested in proper planning is a wise investment of time.

3. STICK TO SCHEDULE LIKE AN ARMY MAN:

All the planning and schedule making will become a futile exercise if you are unable to stick to your schedule. You have to force yourself to discipline in case you really want to achieve or reach your goals. Learn the art of discipline from army. It is not natural. It is forced on them otherwise there are penalties. In the beginning it is painful and boring. But after some time every persons starts enjoying the regorous and disciplined schedules. Without discipline you can neither win a war nor the competition. Only a strict discplinarian can reach the goals on time.

4.MAINTAIN TOTAL DEDICATION

When you work with discipline you do one work at a time according to your written schedule. Give your total attention and dedication to the work for which a particular time has been allotted. Forget the next or the other tasks. By developing this habit you will be able to do a task efficiently.

5. REVIEW IT DAILY

After the work day is complete review your discipline. How much did you stick to the schedule? How many times was your schedule disturbed? What mistake did you make? What lured you most to break the discipline? Daily review will help you to improve in time management and discipline.

6. KEEP NON-EMERGENCY ITEMS OUT OF THE SCHEDULE:

If there is an emergency it becomes necessary to change the schedule otherwise the schedule must not be changed. Non-emergency items continue popping up often and try to distract you from your main tasks. You need to exercise self control to avoid them and concentrate towards the scheduled task. By this habit you will not waste time in watching too much TV, unnecessary phone calls, gossipping, useless debates and discussions.

7. ALSO PLAN LEISURE AND ENTERTAINMENT:

A strict discipline doesn't mean that you have to devote the whole energy or time to your work. To remain physically fit and relaxed you also deserve to have some other activities which are full of fun and entertainment. We are in this world not to drag the burden of life but to life it to its maximum.

8. ENJOY A TENSION FREE AND SUCCESSFUL LIFE:

It is a common thinking among people that discipline means tension and boredom. See around you. Those persons who work without any schedule or discipline mostly live a tensionful life. There tasks remain incomplete, constantly giving them tensions. Such persons are attacked more by various physical ailments comparing to others. Whenever a task is completed on time it gives you a sense of fulfillment.

Consequently your brain feels more confident and relaxed. Therefore disciplined persons are always healthier and happier. Later or sooner success always comes to you by completing the important task with discipline.

This New Law Helps You to Become Powerful

2006-03-15T10:03:00.001-08:00

We are trying to form a new world order now - a world where every human being is healthy, rich and cooperative - a world without terrorism or violence - a world of peace and humanism. In this world no race or country is superior. It is a world based on democratic political system having equal opportunities for all and a helping hand for the handicapped or the needy. And in this world there is always an easy way to progress and prosperity. Here are seven easy ways based on the new Law of Respect which has still not been discovered or discussed by any writer or business consultant anywhere in the world. This law is as strong as the law of gravitation discovered by Newton. It is easy to understand and easy to apply.

1. Respect your wishes

First of all any person who wants to get success in life must learn to respect his own wishes. Wishes have wings and they take you to a marvellous journey of progress and prosperity. A wish means the things you want from life. You may wish for a new mobile, a new car, a new house, a responsive life partner, a bright career in a certain field.

2. Respect money

The more we respect money the more we get it. Many persons are very careless with money. They actually don’t love it. They spend or keep it without much thought or planning. Respecting money means trying to earn as much as possible, spending it with great care, investing it safely and wisely, depositing a part of your income every month. If a person doesn’t respect money he will lose it fast even if he earns it.

4. Respect your wife

In her famous book ‘Thick Face Black Heart’ international writer and business consultant chow..... writes that Chinese farmers are poor because they beat their wives. By beating their wives actually they beat their own future. According to Indian tradition a wife is called a Lakshmi (goddess of wealth) of the house. If she is given proper respect the family becomes prosperous. If she is beaten or ignored the goddess of wealth gets angry and it becomes very difficult to become rich.

In fact women are mostly better human engineers. Their mind work better in solving day to day problems of the family. If they are respected and valued in the family they remain positive thinkers. They share joys and sorrows of their husbands. They also conspire to help him rise in life. And men then find it easy to progress or earn money. By disrespecting a wife a man actually cut his own powers. In modern world both Indians and Chinese husbands are respecting their wives more. Now they get education and become more like friends. Consequently they are becoming rich - see the sudden and magical rise of Indian and Chinese economies.

5. Respect Your Children

Aurangzeb, a very powerful Mogul king in India, ignored this rule and his empire was disintegrated so fast after his death that even the historians are astonished. He treated his sons very badly. He often punished them so ruthlessly that their unique traits were crushed. Their psychology became totally handicapped. They not only lacked confidence but also the will to save their kingdom from disintegration. When the children are respected they are nurtured with love. Their unique traits are developed. Such children always make their parents stronger in life. They take care of the family business properly.

6. Respect your mind and body

In the name of showing you the right path to God most of the saints always make you poor and dependent. They teach you the basic principle of disrespecting your mind and body - repressing your desires and renouncing the things you have. Thousands of such saints kept the Indian society in their grip keeping this country in the clutches of poverty and slavery. They constantly killed the desires and the fighting spirit of the masses. Influence of western culture may be bringing many negative changes in the Indian society but it is also bringing one positive change. It is helping us to learn to respect our mind and body. It inculcated a spirit of competition and unity which propelled the Indians to touch great heights and see a new era of economic development.

7. Respect criticism from all sides

The people who hate criticism become dictators and sow the seeds of future destruction. Almost all the dictators of the world met a very sad end snatching the happiness of their nearers and dearers too. On the contrary the rulers, who welcomed criticism and found an opportunity in it to develop further, were praised for their wisdom and administration. They enjoyed their life till the end.

If you hate a brickbat of criticism today you get ten more tomorrow.

How to Develop a Dynamic Approach

2006-03-15T10:00:00.000-08:00

Study the style of any great or successful people in the world today. One thing about them will certainly mesmerise you - their dynamic approach to product, service or public relations. If you show any slackness or adopt an orthodox approach you are bound to fail either today or tomorrow. You are sure to stumble down in the race to stardom or leadership in the field. But the question is how you can add dynamism to your personality and every action. Dynamism is energy, speed and readiness to adapt to the changed trend and dealing with others effectively. And you can instill it into your ventures with simple steps and then you are on your path to change the whole working environment at personal level or in the company or office where you are working.

1. Keep Yourself Physically Fit And Mentally Alert

Great Indian philosopher and dynamic brain Swami Vivekanand asserted that young persons should prefer playing football to gaining knowledge. According to him till young persons are physical fit knowledge is useless. No person is able to get a dynamic touch if he is physically ill or weak. Do believe this old saying that a healthy mind lives in a healthy body.

Any person, with a little wisdom, can remain physically fit and mentally alert. You need a combination of good exercise and balanced diet. Food of restaurants and hotels may lure you due to its taste and glamour. But actually it proves really bad for your physical fitness. It not only weakens your immune system but proves heavy on your pocket too. Now and then it is OK to eat outside to have some fun. But mostly you should eat home-made food. Take fresh vegetables, fruits, curd, pulses, rice and wheat. Take exercise that suits your body for at least half an hour daily. It will strengthen your immune system and keep you free from most of the modern world diseases like hypertension, diabetes, common cold, heart problems etc.

Don’t rush into any exercise schedule monotonously. Do an exercise in a manner you can enjoy - even walking in a garden while listening to your favourite music on your pocket stereo player can be a fun for you. If you enjoy an exercise schedule it will be more beneficial for you. A boring routine may not be as good for you as it should be. In the same way persuade your mom or granny to make your balanced diet tasty so that you can relish it. To boost the energy of your mind further have meditation daily. It will be relaxing and vitalising for your mind.

Discussing with friends and family members on various topics is a good exercise for your mind. It also helps your mind to organise its energy in a proper way. So have sessions of discussion thrice a week very necessary to keep your mind agile. Arrange it with your friends and family members. Today it may seem a wastage of time to many persons but tomorrow it will help you succeed.

To survive in the jungle of competitions you need to be physically fit and mentally alert so that whenever you find an opportunity you can grab it and use it to your maximum benefit. Otherwise forget facing the menace of competitions; you won’t be even able to grow and live happily.

2. Collect Information And Data

Dynamic people are always well-informed. They have facts and necessary data to deal with a situation in a wise and determined way. So keep your knowledge updated with the help of newspaper reading, TV news watching, reading magazines relating to your field. It is also necessary to travel various places to know where the world is going. Travelling fills our mind and body with a new vigour.

Collect as much information as possible to grow in the field of your choice. The secret of success of John D. Rockefeller - the richest American businessman - is said to be his passion for details. He was almost crazy to have all the details of his product and marketing. It helped him to plan a good winning strategy. The best way to master details is to read a lot about your product or field you are working in, discuss about it with your colleagues, travel to explore its world further and know how others are working in that field, and make valuable contacts. Good contacts will help you to know more time to time.

3. Impressive Wearing

In his book 'Law of Success' famous writer Napoleon Hill has devoted a large space on the value of good dress sense. He himself started getting success in life only after supplementing his personality with impressive dresses. Shabbily dressed persons are rarely liked anywhere. Dress sense of a person definitely has a good impression on others. Actually dress sense of a person throws up the first signal of attraction. Inner personality comes later. If others are disgusted with your dress sense then it becomes difficult to influence them. They are no more receptive to your communication. A good and suitable dress adds dynamism to your personality.

4. Be A Man Of Word

To develop a dynamic approach in your personality it is also necessary to be a man of word. Never make too many promises that it becomes difficult for you to fulfil all of them. You may lose reputation very fast. Famous philosopher J.J. Rousseau has wisely said: 'He who is slow in making a promise, is the most faithful in its performance.' Make only that promise which you can fulfil in near future. Never forget the promise you made to any person or organisation. Show absolute commitment to your words.

5. Sharply Observe The Changes In The Market

Once in a interview great Indian businessman Sardar Raunaq Singh (a rags to riches story) was asked the secret of his success. He told that he had a habit of reading and exploring all the sources which helped him to know about the changes and new developments in the business market so that he could plan his future strategy. By keenly observing the market he was able to take good decisions to start a new venture. Almost all the successful companies adopt the same strategy to observe the trends in the market and shape up their product or service according to the need of their potential customers. Sharp observation helps you to get a dynamic touch.

6. Continue Bringing Small Changes - In Personality, Product And Working Environment

Change is the rule of the nature. You should continue bringing small changes in your personality, product, service and working environment - another name for change here is to improve for the better. Big companies always use this rule to give dynamism to their business approach. Study the advertisements of various big companies carefully. They always keep improving their present products and introduce new products at regular intervals - new computers, news mobiles, new cars, new designs - always new or improved products. Good universities keep changing their syllabi to meet the challenge of new world trends. Service providers try their best to give you better service in new ways to keep up with the new time and competition. If you go against the rule of the nature you will either be sidelined or rejected.

7. Learn Effective Speaking

Effective speaking always differentiates you from others. Your speaking is actually first expression of your inner personality. Good speakers are magnetic leaders too. I have yet to see or read about a popular political or business leader who is unable to speak well. Most of the successful persons maintain a unique style in speaking and they speak forcefully. Your sentences should be grammatically correct. If necessary take training from a good teacher. Effective speaking is an essential trait of a dynamic personality.

8. Give Leadership To Your Workforce

Leadership qualities definitely add a dynamic touch to your approach. In case you don't have leadership qualities you can cultivate it. According to great Russian revolutionary and leader Lenin a true leader must submerge himself in the fountain of the people. It is the biggest trait of a successful leader. You have to go into the people whom you want to lead. You have to understand their problems and desires. You have to know about their habits. Till you are aware of their psychology and life style you can't lead them to achieve your targets. Your dreams should be moulded around their dreams. Keeping yourself away from your workforce or the people won't help you to emerge as a successful leader. All the steps described in this article and an unwavering confidence will definitely make you a dynamic leader too.

9. Live a Hard Life

One of the most successful communist revolutionaries in the world Mao Tse Tung of China knew the value of hard life. When he was young he intentionally planned to live a hard life as he wanted to prepare himself for the tough times ahead to bring a revolution. When we make ourselves habitual of hard life it becomes easy for us to face ups and downs of life happily.

People don't know that a hard life also adds more joy and fun to our life. Sometimes hard work may feel boring. But if we keep doing it with determination then life seems more enjoyable. Relaxation and other funs of life are really much more thrilling after a day of hard work. Hard work also brings more luck into your life. Canadian author and economist Stephen Leacock said: "I am a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it." Certainly, a great truth.

A lecturer in University of Delhi Dr. M.K. Soni suffered from migraine headaches for ten years till he decided to visit a saint. The saint was famous for making people free from diseases just with the touch of his hands. Having lost faith in Allopathic treatment Dr. Soni decided to visit the saint. He thought if other people were getting healed he might get too. The saint touched his head and hummed a Sanskrit Mantra and assured him that he would heal after five visits. After the spiritual treatment my friend never had any migraine pain again.

My student Kamaljeet Chadha similarly got rid of his stomach pain (caused by stone) by several touches of a saint. Each one of his family members, friends and even the doctor was amazed to know that not only the pain but the stone also vanished like vapour.
Whenever business goes down or any economic crisis crops up several people go to astrologers or temple priests to know about the remedy. After spending some money and getting the divine solution many businessmen suddenly find that their business starts picking up. Hundreds of people get cured every month by the simple treatment or touch of many saints or priests. Is their any divine intervention or these astrologers or saints h ave some real magic powers?

THE POWER IS IN YOUR MIND

These saints or priests haven’t got any magical powers. They just invoke the power of your own mind which heals you. Many people get cured by dipping into the holy water of ponds at religious places. The healing power is not in the water but in the minds of the people. The faith implanted in their minds starts the strong inflow of positive rays as a result your immune system fights the disease successfully.
In the similar way the power of your mind can help you to earn wealth and become successful in life. You don’t have to struggle to get any thing in life. Struggle is out. You can use your mind easily and comfortably to get whatever you want. Just wish for a thing first. Then convert it into a burning desire. This burning desire will push you in the direction of your goal.

WRITE YOUR DESIRES

Whatever your desires are you must write them on a paper with a deadline. Suppose you want rupees one million in six months. Write your desire on a paper with the last date of getting it. Everyday our mind is cluttered with thousands of thoughts. Consequently it often becomes difficult for us to concentrate on various tasks till we write them on a paper or in our schedule diary. It is necessary to be practical while writing desires or setting goals. Living in the world of irrational goals or wishful thinking may even dampen your enthusiasm or confidence.

SHOW GRATITUDE

There is a proverb that ‘gratitude is lively sense of future favours’. It reflects the truth of psychological science. Even if you are going financially tight don’t cry or moan. Say your thanks to God for whatever you have. If you need two glasses of water to quench your thirst and you get only half still show your gratitude to God for that. It is necessary to be happy in all types of situations. By developing this habit law of attraction works for you better. If you are happy you attract more happiness, if you are sad you attract more sadness in your life. Similarly say your thanks to God even if you get a very small amount of money. Then according to the law of attraction God will send you more money.

Saints in all ages have taught us that we should be contented with whatever we have and God will give us more. With all our aims and desire for wealth and power we must not get upset and develop an irritant behaviour. Such people start repulsing success. The more they try the more distance they bring between them and their aim. So the secret lies in an attitude of happiness and gratitude for whatever you are getting at present.

START YOUR CAREER FROM THE END

Ambitious people always start their career from the end of their life. Most of the people just float and make decision as the time demands or according to their desire at a particular time. But the best strategy to achieve your ambition in life is to begin your career from the end of your life. If your burning desire is to become an actor then start visualising that you have already become a successful actor. Law of attraction will start working and you will start proceeding towards your goal. If you want to become a very wealthy person then start thinking that you have already become wealthy. Wealth is coming to you and you are getting respect of the people. In the beginning you have to force yourself for this type of imagination. Gradually you mind will work better and you will start attracting wealth in your life.

RESPECT MONEY IN YOUR LIFE

Many people don’t respect wealth and have a tendency to waste it mindlessly. Such persons are rarely able to earn large amount of money. Even if they get it by luck or from parents they lose it soon. If you respect wealth you attract it more. Whenever you earn some money never waste it or spend lavishly. Make a budget, save some portion in the bank. Invest your money wisely to earn more. People who remain poor in life actually don’t know how to respect wealth.

24 HOURS WEALTH CONSCIOUSNESS

To maintain 24 hours wealth consciousness you need to think wealth, sleep wealth and watch wealth. Every thought of your mind should be an attraction for wealth. If you feel a certain thought is repelling wealth or interrupting your wealth making effort you must work to end the origin of that thought. As soon as your wealth consciousness becomes very strong you start becoming wealthy.
It is not always easy to maintain complete concentration towards wealth making. Sometimes a person sabotages his own efforts. He becomes his own enemy. Such a tendency is mostly caused by negative experiences of childhood or bitter anger hidden in subconscious mind.
Once, a businessman came to me to discuss his trouble. He was unable to become a wealthy person instead of working very hard. He had a habit of earning and losing wealth. After questioning him I found that his psychology was contradictory. One part of his mind was very ambitious and he sincerely wanted to become rich. The second part of his mind was actually repelling wealth and failing him. This portion of his mind was connected with the irrational and fighting behaviour of his wife. Although he wanted to see him wealthy but whenever he was angry he wanted his wife to suffer due to lack of money and experience pain in the same way like he suffered pain due to her unnecessary fights. Therefore even after earning a lot of money he lost it very fast causing immense misery to him and his wife. His subconscious mind got satisfaction in it. And it was the root of the problem.
He was not only reading books to earn more money but also working day and night. At the same time his hatred towards his wife was generating a conflict in his sub-conscious. He was able to understand the basic problem soon. I advised him to award his wife on every success even if he was angry. He needed to divert his anger in physical exercise. If he still wanted to punish her he should stop talking to her for some time. His old method of punishment was sabotaging his own efforts. After a few months as he got success in changing his mental conditioning he started becoming wealthy. His mind was attracting wealth with more determination.
If you are determined and you have a burning desire then no power in the world can stop you from becoming wealthy.

FOR BIG SUCCESS FIND OUT YOUR PURPOSE IN LIFE

2006-03-15T09:56:00.000-08:00

A depressed young man asked a great saint: ‘I always feel tired and restless. I don’t know why I am in this world. Can you solve my problem?’ The saint replied: ‘Actually you still have to discover your purpose. As soon as you discover it your tiredness and restlessness will transform into a dynamic positive energy.’ Then the saint gave him a valuable piece of advice: ‘For one month go to the people, talk to them, observe their life and their needs. You may get a new light that will take you to your true destiny.’ The young man indeed found that light, his true purpose – to fight for the betterment of the people of his country, and his personality transformed into an invincible force. The young man was Julius Caesar – the greatest Roman king.

THE SECRET BEHIND MAN'S SUCCESS

Men become great only when they are fired with a great purpose. Animals haven’t progressed or civilised because the ability of their mind is limited and they are unable to have a purpose. Even most of human beings live their life in the similar manner. Human civilisation, progress and wonderful inventions have been possible due to the men having strong purpose. A large number of human race feel a kind of fog or cloud between them and their mind. They are unable to see through it and discover their purpose of living. Here lies one more secret behind phenomenal success of some persons.
Try to observe some successful people, organisation or business houses. You will see one common and remarkable trait in them. All of them have some purpose. All successful people feel that they have taken birth to achieve something worthwhile in life and they are working hard to do that. If you want to get more than moderate success your first and foremost goal should be to discover your purpose.

MAGIC OF PURPOSE

Great painter Grandma Moses (Anna Mary Robertson) was 76 and purposeless, and heading towards a painful death. Six doctors declared that her severe arthritis would leave her fingers forever bent & crippled and she would have to depend on others for every work. Fortunately for her the 7th doctor was able to understand her psychology and suggested her to draw or paint. She laughed at the suggestion as she had never held a paint brush in her life. And now her hands and fingers were not in the position to do it. The doctor knew it was her last hope to live a better and satisfied life thus he stressed upon his suggestion and advised her to give it several tries. Astonishingly the idea clicked with her psychology because she had at last found her real purpose in life. Between the age of 76 and 94 she painted a huge number, six hundred, of paintings - most of them masterpieces. She enjoyed a new zest in life and a better health too. Even at 94 there was no retirement for her. She painted 400 more wonderful creations (including her famous The Night Before Christmas) till she was 100 - really astonishing. So this is the magic of finding a purpose in life.

AMBANI BECAME THE BIGGEST

One of the greatest Indian Businessmen Dhirubhai Ambani struggled hard and did many odd jobs for several years till he found his purpose. After matriculation he was doing different odd jobs to earn his pocket money when his elder brother called him to Aden and helped him to get job in Burmah Shell as petrol attendant (filling petrol in the vehicles) in 1953. He worked in this company for five years. Now working in the company became extremely restless for the youngman as he had found his real purpose in life: to build his own business empire with modern business methods. He resigned from the company and came to Mumbai. Although he had not much money but he had a will to work hard and a determination to fulfil his dream. The village boy of a poor family was soon on his way to explode over Indian business world like a volcano and become the greatest first generation businessman of India - his brainchild Reliance Industries leaped forward at a mind-boggling speed.

HOW TO FIND YOUR PURPOSE

Many persons find their purpose naturally and suddenly and proceed towards it with complete dedication. In some cases real purpose of one’s life is not found even for several years. To progress in life faster you need to know your purpose as early as possible. Well-thought answers of the following questions may help you to find your real purpose in life. Write your answers in a diary or in your file in the computer.
1. Which work do you enjoy passionately?
2. What do you dream most of the times?
3. What do you like to do in your free time?
4. Which work can you do without tiring?
5. Are you crazy to do something? What’s that?
6. What are your qualities?
7. What is your unique talent in your opinion?
8. What do you mostly dream while sleeping at night?
9. Which work makes you enthusiastic?
10.Write three works that you would like to do before dying.
11. If you have only 24 hours to live what would you like to do?
12. If God gives you Rs.100/- crore how would you spend it?

After writing the answers of all these questions your main purpose will start sparkling in front of your eyes. As soon as you discover your purpose in life a magic happens. You start to enjoy life more. You are ready to sacrifice anything, ready to do anything to achieve your goal. Soon your life gets wonderful transformation. Your stamina and mental powers suddenly become stronger. Working, eating, sleeping, walking, travelling there is always one thing on your mind - what to do to fulfil your purpose.

A PURPOSE CAN BE DISCOVERED AT ANY AGE

Example of Grandma Moses shows that true purpose of one’s life can be found at any age. Many persons find their purpose at a very young age, and many on the onset of old age. Bill Gates, Chairman of Microsoft and the richest person of the world at present found his purpose (to bring a revolution in IT) at a very young age. His immense passion for his purpose made him immensely successful. Dhirubhai Ambani also found it when he was young. Great Indian emperor Chandra Gupta Maurya, when he was still young and a vagabond, teamed up with a middle-aged Brahmin Chanakya to build one of the biggest political empires in Asia.
Harlan Sanders had struggled his whole life to become big and had reached the age of retirement when he suddenly discovered his real purpose in life. At last he had come up with an idea and he wanted some financers to back it up. He determinedly travelled all across the USA in his search for the people who could back him. He made one of the biggest records of rejection in the history when a thousand and nine people turned him down. They laughed at his idea. After four and half years Harlan Sanders was able to arrange enough money to open his first Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet which was to become one of the biggest restaurant chains. Ray Crock found his purpose only when he was 55 and still a salesman. He was about to reach at the end of his career. Then like the hit of a lightning his found his purpose and in next ten years he became a billionaire by establishing a large network of McDonalds.

If your work is not suitable to your talent or your psychological structure you may often feel unhappy or confused. When you live with a purpose you are able to live a healthy, enthusiastic and a very fulfilling life. You are also surrounded by a unique aura which gives a magic touch to your personality. Orison Swett Marden said “There’s no grander sight in the world than that of a person fired with a great purpose, dominated by one unwavering aim.”

God's Message - Struggle is Life

2006-03-15T09:54:00.000-08:00

Struggle is the essence of living on this earth. Without struggle a man becomes weak and fearful. Our civilization, scientific progress or business empires are all the result of man's determination to struggle. Even man's very existence can be attributed to struggle.

Comfort is Suffocation, Struggle is Life

Whenever life throws setbacks and hurdles on us we should welcome because they are actually our stepping stones to success. If we try to make our life too comfortable we lose its charm and thrill. A feeling of boredom (coming out of comfort) is more dangerous than bitter struggle. Comfort is actually suffocation and struggle is life.

One day a man found a cocoon of a butterfly. He saw a small opening in the cocoon. He watched the butterfly for a long time as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. It got tired and the man thought it might die due to bitter struggle. The kind-hearted man decided to help the butterfly. He brought a scissors to make the hole wider and help the butterfly come out easily and enter the life of joy.

God's Method to Strengthen us

After freeing the swollen butterfly the man thought he saved the life of butterfly. He continued to watch it. He expected that it would expand the wings and fly.

But it didn't happen. The butterfly continued crawling with its swollen body and shriveled wings till the end of life. It was unable to fly. The amazed man discussed this incident with his friend who was a teacher of Botany.

His friend explained that restricting cocoon and the struggle was necessary for the butterfly to become stronger. Such struggle forced a fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it could become strong enough to live in the world outside. It God's method to strengthen the butterfly. Unfortunately its struggle was broken in the middle and it crippled the butterfly.

Children can Become Winners

This simple example clearly explains the value of struggle in our life. Some parents provide too much comfort or facilities to their children and think they are developing their personality. Actually they make the children dependent and weak. Whenever there is hard struggle or adverse circumstance such children lose confidence and become frustrated.

Success in life comes out of struggle and opposition. If we understand this lesson and inculcate it into the minds of children they would become winners. Although parents should help the children to study and develop yet they should also teach them the value of struggle, and the value of taking challenges in life.

Learn to Make Money from the Money-Makers

2006-03-12T21:35:00.000-08:00

Everybody is busy at internet in finding the right formulas and methods to make money in an easy and fast way. As internet is emerging as the fastest growing market and business centre this desire is quite natural. But you can make money anywhere in any country if you follow the rich and the wealthy. After studying the rich and very successful persons for years I have come to know that these people have certain qualities which are quite common among them. Without developing these qualities you can not dream to be even in the high tax bracket. Becoming very rich or a billionaire is only possible when you get the same traits which these people have.

1. They Have A Great Passion to Do a Thing

All these people have a habit of doing everything with great intensity. They have a passion to reaslise a dream they have. So find out what your passion is. What you like to do. Plan to earn money in the same field.

2. They Focus The Whole Energy To Their Aim

If you are passionate you also develop focus naturally. But you have to be very carefully. In our life there are various things or happening which lure us and divert our energy to different directions. It you are hooked you lose focus as well as big success. So concentrate to your main aim and work hard for it.

3. They Plan Well Like a Military General

They never throw the boat of their venture in the river of vast business field without knowing how they will move and to which direction. Otherwise they won’t reach anywhere and get lost in the waves of fate. They plan like a military general in detail. They have detailed map of action plan either on a paper or in their mind about the target, the ways, the problems, the solutions, the competitors etc. etc

4. They Are Very Determined

Very successful people are great achievers not the quitters. If they take a job they get it completed with great determination risking whatever they can. If they fail they try again. Word ‘quit’ is not in their dictionary. ‘Success at any cost’ is their motto.

5. They Never Sit On The Laurels

They know that the day they feel contented and stop taking challenges they will lose the hard-earned tempo of success. Even if they achieve their first goal they don’t get lazy or feel satisfied. They immediately set a new target and keep moving.

Importance of Your Dress in Your Career

2006-03-11T19:36:00.000-08:00

When world famous writer of self-improvement books Napoleon Hill was young he had an aim of becoming big writer. But success was not easy. He had to struggle a lot and do several jobs just to earn his bread and butter. He thought with his wisdom and sensible mind he could help people to break the barrier of failure and succeed. But there was a problem: till he himself achieved his aim how he could show others the path to bright future.

By observing successful people in every field marketing, business, movies, media etc he came to the conclusion that most of the people underestimated the marvellous value of good dress sense. Most of the successful person in almost every field had a keen taste for good dresses. He discovered that good dresses not only acted as a stimulus for the wearer but also impressed the people who came in touch with that fellow. Then Hill himself tried this formula. He bought a few costly and impressive suits – giving him a look of success. He soon himself found on the track of a successful journey in his career.

It is said that the richest business tycoon Bill Gates has several dozen suits in his wardrobe – the best in the market and always ready to be put on. All successful businessmen, politicians, film personalities, media persons, doctors and other professionals are extra careful about their dresses. You would rarely see a shabbily dressed person getting success. No good company hire such a good person. The most successful lady in India today is Mrs. Sonia Gandhi. She wears simple and sophisticated Indian dresses. It was reported in the media that her wardrobes were full with high quality sober dresses to appeal to the masses.

If you are trying to get a good job then you definitely need two things to help you succeed in interview: 1} effective English and 2) a good dress sense. Having equipped your self with these two master weapons you will never remain unemployed for long. You will be able to win the heart of many. The first impression of a person is created by the dress he is wearing, and second the words he speaks. Good dresses boost the confidence of a person. A bad dress always invokes inferiority complex.

A good dress always gives an appearance of prosperity and confidence. Thus you get a favourable response from people everywhere. People like to be associated with you – they want to talk to you, they want to do business with you, they want to employ you.

Show me a woman or even a man who does not want a healthy glow in the face. You will find none. This is the only reason that this article of mine is going to be hit in a big way. And you are getting it from one of the most beautiful ladies in the world. I learnt the technique from my beauty consultant.

Step One: Apply Tamarind Mixed with Milk

It is the best facial treatment you can get and in the comfort of your home, and darling it is cheap too. Mix some milk in tamarind power to make a paste. Apply it on your face before going to bed. Keep it on your face for half to one hour. Then wash it. Twice a week is good for you. In case you are busy do apply once a week.

The creams and colours of big companies you use to paint your face will actually damage your skin and cause wrinkles in future.

Step Two: Do Meditation and Yoga Daily

You can do once or twice a day. It will keep you relaxed and strengthen your immune system. You need to learn Yoga from an expert. Simple exercises can be learnt from a good book too.

Step Three: Eat Green Vegetables and Salad

Every good physician advises it. You get enough intake of vitamins and minerals. It is also good for your digestive system. A healthy digestion gives boost to the glow of your face.

Step Four: No Cigarette or Alcohol Please

Please avoid these ghosts as much as you can. They are biggest enemies of your face and beauty. By doing meditation and yoga you won’t actually have any desire for them.

Step Five: Take Enough Rest

Proper rest is absolutely necessary. Keep yourself off from work once a week. Enjoy music, have fun, gossip with friends, go for picnics, roar with laughter and do anything you like to do – but no work please do sleep for sever hours daily.

Giving you my first lesson like a teacher I am feeling relaxed and peace which I desperately sought. Are you happy too?

Today is a Great Day, so pump up Your Life for Better Running

2006-03-11T19:09:00.000-08:00

Some friends were frustrated with life and wanted to commit mass suicide to awaken the society. Gautam Buddha saw them and asked the reason.

The friends told that they were unable to earn a good livelihood, unable to give happiness to their families, unable to fulfil their desires, and thus they were ending their life. The society needed change and they decided to give the message by suicide.

Buddha said calmly: ‘My dear children you can’t change anyone by committing suicide. People have been killing themselves for a long time but nobody cares. Every body, even your family members, will forget you soon.’

The friends were impressed with the confidence and deep voice of this saint. They urged in exasperation: ‘Then guide us to the right way.’

“Live in Today. It is a Great Day. Give a smile to the needy. Throw a helping hand to the poor. God will shower prosperity on you tomorrow.” Buddha blessed them.

Both the young men touched his feet and decided to try again according to the advice given by great Buddha. Principle of living in today transformed their life soon.

Not only Buddha but most of the great men in the history taught us to live our life which we have in our hand today. Who knows what will happen tomorrow. As soon as you get up in the morning say to yourself and your family: Today is a great day.

Work better today; smile more today; have some fun today.
