     Robert was a very nice guy. He completed his education in computer engineering and ranked 1st in everything. From many days, he was thinking about a project; dream project that will connect the world and make it great place. He planned everything, but … didn’t take any step and then Mark Zuckerberg did it.               We’d never know that what he could do? Or what was his idea? He could change the world but he didn’t hear about art of start and my blog (by the way, this story is fictional)      What do you think of this story? He held himself back just because he didn’t know about art of start. In life, many times you’ve a situation and you don’t know what to do? You hold yourself back and don’t do what you were supposed to do?      Take a first step. You might have started something and left due to lack of motivation. If you think about one step at a time, you’ll have better results. I think takin...

     Courage means ability to take action. Courage is used not only in war but also in inner conflict. You think, you decide and then you… back away? That’s lack of courage. Courage solves a lot of problems.      There’s a decision which may be right or wrong, but it yield a result and gives you an experience. Nothing is useless. Any moments, decisions, experiences give you different perspective. So in brief, not taking any decision is lack of courage; that’s weakness. Taking at least wrong decision is better than not taking decision.      Hope for the best and prepare for the worst. Do you want to do something, but haven’t done yet? Do you want something so much, but afraid to do? This is where you hold yourself back.      Have you seen ‘Hacksaw Ridge’ film? In the film, Andrew Garfield decides to be a non- violent in the battlefield and save lives. That’s courage. You take decisions while you know all possibilities that e...

      Don’t waste life living someone else’s life.                                      -Steve Jobs      He really meant it. We are all different from each other, but made to live together. Although we’ve divided by country, religion, face, color but not blood. And science says 99% of our DNA is same, but what about that 1%. If you think, that’d be our identity.      I’ve heard that there are 7 people in the world who exactly look just like you and there’s 9 % possibility that you’d meet one of them in your lifetime. Fascinating, isn’t it? Even if you meet one, who looks just like you, I bet he’d not be like you by characteristics; like mindset, experience, life approach, vision, nature, behavior.      If person who looks just like you have different from you, then what people around you?      The most important t...

     Hope is like a gem; precious if you believe unless nothing more than a stone. Hope is a best tool, not for success but to stay on the path. When you realize that nothing can happen now, hope can keep you alive.      You may have heard the story that a man give up just an inch before treasure. He digs entire cave, but give up just before when there’s one inch wall between a man and treasure. Story is not finished yet, second man comes in and digs that inch wall and gets the treasure.      What do you learn from that wall? Never give up and never dig the cave and don’t look for treasure. Just kidding!      A second man took all credit of first man’s effort. In real life, that’s what happens. We give up at something at wrong time. You know when do you suppose to give up? Never!      Thomas A. Edison failed 1000 times, but never gave up. In fact, he said, “You can be closed to your target when you give up.”...

     Motivation can come from anything; it can be stranger or some child playing on the road. Sometimes we need motivation to get our work done. Motivation is the spark which helps to start our engine of work. Even a small thought can motivate us, but I believe motivation lies within us. We just need to trigger it. That’s the real challenge in front of us in these days.      I’ve heard that read a book, or read something inspiring, but what about if we need some motivation to read too. If you ask me, challenges or goals are greatest motivation source and I’m damn sure about it. Just think what do really you want so much in future? Decide the path; see the dream everyday with eyes wide open, think about it everyday, and you’ll come up with right solution with right time. You’ll feel that there’s spark’s been created within you.      We leave many things in middle just lack of motivation. That’s good. You’re in the scanning process and you’l...

     Learning process is eternal. To become or remain successful, you need to learn at least small everyday. Whoever has old knowledge and can’t be compatible with the present will be thrown away or futile.      Learning means not going back to school or reading school textbooks.      Life teaches us many things everyday, if we keep our eyes and mind WIDE open, we can learn many things. It’s our job to learn and absorb it. People who have learning attitude are above the clouds.      Warren Buffett and Mohammed Ali are best students of life learning school.      Warren Buffett started investing at 1941 at age 11. He bought piece of land at age 14. Their learning curve was ascending and greater than fear of failure and job security.      If you keep learning, you’ll keep earning. That’s the reality of this century. It may hard to get succeed in your desired career first, but at least you’ll be ...

     You may like soccer, but I like one thing about those strikers who think only about GOAL whole 95 minutes. They’re just concentrated to get succeeded for whole time. May be that’s why they earn more for their concentration. STRIKERS!      But being a defender, our adult mind opposes us to do something new or good by giving many reasons of failure. Being as an adult, known the possibilities is a disadvantage. We think it’s hard to get succeed in something good, new or special; mostly in our desired career. And what will happen to it which has started with ‘impossible’ and ‘hard’.      I believe universe is waiting to give us anything we want. Universe says that pray, strive, strive again till get succeeded. When all doors of possibilities will be closed, it’ll open a door of luck. When there will be no space remained for hard work, it’ll use luck to fill that space.      Many people hold themselves back to do something...
