<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Notice that any
self generated action is largely the result of compulsion or desire. While
compulsion by its very meaning suggests that there is no alternative and is forceful,
desire evokes in our mind a pleasant, willing and positive emotion within us
suggesting that the action is something we eagerly look forward to. This is
because <span style="color: red;">DESIRE</span> emits from our own ability to <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">D</span></b>evelop <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">E</span></b>nthusiasm
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">S</span></b>ustained

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">R</span></b>enewed
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">E</span></b>nergy.
Going to a movie, a party, a picnic gets us excited, enthusiastic and eager whereas
attending a lecture or a routine office meeting triggers thoughts of an unpleasant,
boring and disagreeable waste of time. Hence it is essential that one needs to generate
DESIRE within to make life interesting, to enable you to be proactive and enjoy
every moment.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">You can generate
<span style="color: red;">DESIRE</span> if you see life as an interesting <span style="color: blue;">GAME</span> and make a conscious effort to play that game
well.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: blue;">G</span><span lang="EN-US">oal in mind - There must be an
objective, a result, a goal that helps one focus. Without a goal we merely
meander through life like sheep grazing in the pastures, merely going through
the act of eating and sustaining. As human beings we are blessed with greater
intellect, imagination and initiative that we need to make use of. This can be
done by outlining our goals, visioning the big picture and purposefully
striving to attain the goal using all the resources at our command. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">The goal is the beginning and the focus of
any <span style="color: red;">desire</span>.</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: blue;">A</span><span lang="EN-US">ttitude is positive – Without a
positive attitude we cannot generate self belief. A positive attitude can be
generated when one is able to align ones goal, thoughts and actions. The
starting point of this is identifying and focusing on the right goal. Focus on
what needs to be done and not on what should be avoided. The latter has a
negative connotation to begin with and more importantly does not help us focus
on one single objective. Then we need to outline the roadmap to reach the goal,
the wherewithal required to sustain us in our quest and take a decisive steps
to reach out goal. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">With the right
attitude, we begin to subconsciously fill spirit with the <span style="color: red;">desire</span> to succeed.</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: blue;">M</span><span lang="EN-US">otivation is envisioned – Even if
know our goal and start with the right attitude, the energy to continue our
quest comes from the amount of motivation we can generate within us. The
motivation is not merely attaining the goal but must be apportioned into
smaller slices of achievements, must include a large dose of self satisfaction,
tons of encouragement from the progress made and must include the pioneering path
breaking success you have personally enjoyed along the way. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Motivation is the oxygen that keeps the <span style="color: red;">desire</span> alive.</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="color: blue;">E</span><span lang="EN-US">xcellence is targeted- Reaching a
goal maybe relatively simple. The real achievement is doing it in style.
Excellence is the outcome of careful detailing, planning and execution.
Excellence is attained when one can improve the existing benchmarks; improvise
the current methods and pioneer new techniques along the way. Rarely can one go
about achieving a goal all alone. Excellence therefore also includes one’s
ability to be a good team player, a dependable team member and a welcome team
participant. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Excellence make the <span style="color: red;">desire</span> even more personal and appealing.</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

visible. In most other cases the flash is felt, be it in terms of pain, an
image or a brainwave. Since flashes especially positive flashes appear momentarily
it is essential that we capture the moment or it may be lost forever. This is particularly
true in the case of new ideas, fresh perspectives, creative visualization or
radical thoughts. Similarly flashes with a negative connotation appear momentarily
but can leave behind a trail of destruction and / or trouble. Anticipation and
precaution are the antidotes to negative flashes like lightning strikes and
flash floods.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">While all
flashes appear suddenly, it is important to realize that it can be anticipated.
This offers immense possibilities to harness the power of a flash as we can
clearly see in how a flash is used in a camera. More importantly, to get new
ideas and flashes of inspiration we must not passively wait but aggressively seek
them out. A problem for example cannot be solved until one works towards a solution
and most inspired answers come in a flash because one is working on finding a solution.

can see a lady’s vanity bag complete with combs, lipsticks, powder, a small

debris. Fortunately for you in the distance you can see some vessels and boats.

<span lang="EN-US">Life is made of
moments and for human beings every moment has fleeting glimpses of varied <span style="color: red;">EMOTIONS</span> which is nothing but <b><span style="color: red;">E</span></b>ach <b><span style="color: red;">m</span></b>oment <b><span style="color: red;">o</span></b>f <b><span style="color: red;">t</span></b>ransitional

From being gregarious to being weepy or fearful we experience stress and thrill
in varied measure each moment of our life. A simple phone call can change our
emotions around and surprises can turn to shock in a jiffy. Sports, especially
close contests in which you are an interested party, offers the perfect setting
for an array of emotions that you experience. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">Very broadly,
the most common emotions that each individual continually experiences include the
following, Love, Joy, Surprise, Anger, Sadness and Fear. The challenge for
human beings is to be able to control their emotions lest the emotions overwhelm
and lead to undesirable consequences. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Control
of emotions does not necessarily mean not expressing the emotion but implies
that we should be able to quickly become aware of the intensity of the emotion
and keep that in check from consuming us</b>. Infatuation for example could be
the emotion of love gone awry. Revenge on the other hand is a mix of anger and
hurt creating a potent mix to trick the mind into being subverted by the emotion.
Then there are fears masquerading in various guises; nothing beats superstitions
for sheer variety of fears.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US"><b>Every emotion
has a role to play in shaping our personality</b>. Anger for example is an emotion
that spurns us to action. The anti incumbency factor that votes out an existing
government is an example of collective anger being constructively channelized for
positive results. Fear is an emotion that prevents us from being foolhardy and
taking stupid risks. Sadness especially when we experience failures is an
emotion that alerts us to the complexities of life and the challenges we are
likely to confront despite the best of preparations. Happiness acts as a great
motivator to pursue success, become daring and aim higher; for as they say
greater the obstacle greater the glory. Love is an all pervading emotion. It is
an emotion that can engulf all other emotions; a soldier sacrifices his/ her
life <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>for love of the country while a
spurned lover can turn into a revengeful person for he / she cannot overcome
the overwhelming power of the emotion of love in their being. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">None can brush
aside emotions though many would pretend to be indifferent to it. Emotions are
part of the core of our life and being. <b>What we need to be aware of is</b> the

<span lang="EN-US">Just thought that this set of
acronyms would provide each one of us the perfect inspiration for the New Year
and hence I have chosen to share the same here. It would be a very person or a
very dumb person who would not accept the fact that he/ she did not face
failure in the past and particularly in the year just gone by. Most times the
failures could be attributed to incompetence, inefficiency, tardiness or carelessness.
However often when we attempt something new we are not successful in the first
attempt and we are dejected. Many times we refrain from attempting something
new purely because we are afraid to fail. Yet when we reflect on all the
progress we have made right from the time we clumsily held <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>a pencil in the hand and attempted to write
the alphabets to the numerous times we feared drowning in the pool while
learning to swim or the numerous bruises that<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>testified to the difficulty we had in learning to cycle we realize that
failure did not hinder our resolve. This is because to <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">FAIL</span></b> was just an acronym for <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">F</span></b>irst <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">A</span></b>ttempt <span style="color: red;">I</span>n <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">L</span></b>earning.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Resolve
to attempt something new each month and master it or make significant progress
in it by the end of the month.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">For sure, you would have committed
blunders and felt that it is the end of the road as far as your future was concerned.
Yet, despite the admonishments and embarrassment you faced you still got
another chance to redeem yourself. Perhaps you failed an exam or did not honor
a commitment. Possibly you did not clear a number of job interviews or worse
still never got a call for a job interview despite applying in numerous places.
Some of you may be stuck with a boss who is often critical and unappreciative
of your work and threatens you with dismissal. The fact is that despite these
very daunting circumstances you still live with hope, possibly you have even managed
to be successful in your academics or career and you have expectations to a
even better future. All this, despite you often feeling that it is the end of
your dreams. This clearly demonstrates that the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">END</span></b> is merely an acronym that
reminds you the <span style="color: red;">E</span>ffort <span style="color: red;">N</span>ever
<span style="color: red;">D</span>ies. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">One word that hurts us most is the
word No which to put it mildly is a point blank refusal our plea. As children
we may have craved for the best toys and clothes only to be stonewalled with a
firm NO. Maybe as teenager you were forbidden from attending late night parties
or perhaps even encountered the pain of being rejected with a firm no by a
person whom you had a crush on. It is equally possible that as a professional
your subtle and not so subtle requests for a pay hike has been dismissed with a
curt no. For sure every <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">NO</span></b> hurts but once we come to terms with it, we
rationalize that there is always a <span style="color: red;">N</span>ext <span style="color: red;">O</span>pportunity. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

For almost all of us,<b> it is the micro aspect of focus that we pay more
attention</b> to simply because it enables us to see quick results. Studying for
exams would be the focus of parents and children especially when the exams are
fast approaching. When one studies there is a higher chance that one would be
able to do well in the exam and the results would vouch for the same. For this
period of study before the exams, it is possible that one has sacrificed TV
viewing, movies, social outings so as to ensure that one is following one
course viz to study until one has successfully finished the exam papers. It is
important to note that there must be this micro focus for every activity we
undertake to ensure that we attain the results we seek. This could be as
diverse as merely doing our daily chores, organizing a party or relaxing at
home. The downside to focus is that, we can get so obsessed with the task on
hand, and this is true of corporate executives and professionals in particular,
that they are unable to focus on enjoying their free time or family time. So it
is essential to balance our focus so that we do not stress ourselves out or pass
on the stress to others.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is
possible when we look at the <b>second aspect of focus i.e. the macro aspect of
focus.</b></span></div>

This is not a quick and sudden focus as would perhaps happen when
we are suddenly confronted with the need to quickly decide. <b>A long term focus
would be in the nature of a planned, purposeful and decisive choice</b>. A student
who is keen to better his/ her performance would focus on a clear strategy to improve
marks, unlike a student whose sole aim is to do his/ her best by studying at
the last moment. The macro focus of the student keen to do well could be on spending
more time on the difficult subjects or taking tuition's in subjects that he/ she
is weak in and / or preparing to ace the subjects he/ she is strong in. <b>Notice
that the strategy chosen is based on macro focus on attaining the end
objective, whereas the execution of the plan is based on the micro focus</b>. Similarly
from a corporate perspective too strategy is nothing but a <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">macro focus</b> on the way ahead. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><b>While both types of focus are
essential, it is the macro focus that is most important in the long run</b>. Remember
Steven Covey’s 7 Habits in which he stresses on ‘Begin with the end in mind’.
Macro focus is that beginning where the end is visualized first. Another way to understand this is- <span style="color: blue;">macro focus is ‘Doing the right things</span>’ whereas the <span style="color: magenta;"><span style="background-color: white;">micro focus is ‘Doing
things right</span></span>’. For the numerous readers of this blog, what is your long term
focus as regards the benefits you wish to derive from reading this blog is a
key question that will determine how well you use the new learning and benefit from
it. Those with a macro focus would identify ways and means to leverage the
content and profit from it. E.g. some would want to use it to improve their
vocabulary / others would try to learn how the thoughts are expressed in a
logical manner / some would just like to get some inspirational insights / some
would try to rewrite and rephrase contents in their own words so as to improve
their style of writing.</span></div>

or archery competition since the target is clearly outlined and the bulls eye
clearly visible. In daily life, the shape, size and value of the target are
hazy and constantly undergoing a metamorphosis. We are also guilty of looking
ahead with hope, moving ahead with trepidation and giving up in frustration
simply because the goal was hazy, our efforts half hearted and our self belief
fatigued. </span></div>

measure progress, take corrective action and get motivated to try till one
succeeds. Targets will also provide one the impetus to take setbacks in one’s
stride, be grounded when sudden windfalls are got and persevere till the goal
is attained.

<span lang="EN-US">Our obsession
with standing first in every aspect of life has often been both a boon and a
bane. As a boon standing first is motivation to perform well, but it becomes a
bane when the expectations are not correlated with the person’s ability to achieve
the first place. However, this concept of standing first is based on the
popular perception of what is considered to be standing first. In reality if we
change our perception of what it means to stand first, each of us can achieve
the distinction of standing first frequently.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>To begin with one needs to view standing first as <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">F</span></b>oremost <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">I</span></b>n <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">R</span></b>eaching <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">S</span></b>et <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">T</span></b>arget.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">Notice now that being first is possible when we can show
improved performance for ourselves</span></b><span lang="EN-US">. This assumes
that we have some objective in mind and we set about achieving that target in
more optimal ways than we have ever done before. Assume for a moment that the
best academic result you achieved was struggling to get a first class. Now if
you target to get a distinction without really measuring the effort required,
the probability of not achieving that is very high. However if the target set
is to improve your score by 10% and then you set about diligently working
towards it, any improvement over what you have achieved in the past would make
you stand first as compared to your past achievement.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="EN-US">You can also view being first from the stand point of attempting
anything new</span></b><span lang="EN-US">. Anything you do that you haven’t attempted
before is a first for you. Here again you are only competing with yourself to
overcome you apprehensions and fears about attempting something new. The first
day of school, the first time you went on stage, the first time you participated
in a race, the first time your drove a car all alone, the first time you
attempted a dare the list goes on and on. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Then
there is a first that brings in to play your character, your values and your
ethics</b>. The times you refused to pay a bribe, the times you refused to
cheat in an exam, the times you stood up to tell the truth, the times you
apologized for a mistake, the times you kept your temper in check, the times
you pardoned some one who wronged you. Every single time you are able to resist
giving in and taking the easy way out because it was against your conscience
you achieved a first.</span></div>

<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Be
it cars, bikes or the internet access, </span><span style="color: red;">SPEED </span><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">is perhaps the focus of attention. The
human race has innovatively made speed attractive by having races for varying
distances be it as a track event or a Formula 1 race or a motor cross or the
horse racing track. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So why are we
obsessed with speed? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Perhaps the answer
lies in our competitive nature and our primal instincts </span><b><span style="color: red; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">S</span></b><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">udden <b><span style="color: red;">P</span></b>ower <b><span style="color: red;">E</span></b>nsures

<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">The
law of the jungle demands that speed holds the key to catching a prey or
eluding being the prey. An old African tale illustrates it best. Every morning
in the Jungle the Lion wakes up and says today I have to run faster than the
slowest deer or I will have to go hungry. At the same time every morning there
is a deer that gets up and says I have to run faster than the fastest Lion or I
would be dead. The moral of the story is that whether you are Lion or Deer,
come morning and you have to get up and run. It is however the speed at which
each one runs that determines if it meets its objective. We as human beings
having evolved, perhaps continue to crave for this primal instinct of speed.</span></div>

<span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;">Our
competitive nature demands that we humans find ways and means to assert our superiority.
While hunting as a sport partly let us indulge in our cravings, as we evolved,
we found the need to be engaged in less risky activities. Horse racing provided
owners to assert their superiority and gave the common man a chance to also lay
wagers and participate in the process of identifying the best. At the same time
competitive racing between human beings then became an acceptable means to a
loft end of displaying competitiveness. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With progress and mechanization, motorcycle

post on the year end 31<sup>st</sup> Dec 2013, I cannot but remind myself that this
is such a unique moment; for with every passing second I will bid good bye to
2013 and usher in 2014 with fresh hopes and dreams. What is more <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>significant is the realization that while the
event will repeat itself every year on 31<sup>st</sup> Dec. this moment when I
writing this post will never mean the same ever. For this is my <span style="color: red;">TIME</span> as I write and your <span style="color: red;">TIME</span>
as you read it and for you and me <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">T</span></b>his <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">I</span></b>nstant <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">M</span></b>oment is <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">E</span></b>verything .</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">The ideal way to
ensure you utilize your time well is to ensure you <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">plan</b> well. Perhaps this is reinforced by the fact that we ritually
make New Year Resolutions. If you haven’t done that yet, resolve to make the
list as soon as you finish reading this post. When you make your New Year Resolutions
it would help if you grouped it in meaningful ways. E.g. Personal Goals,
Professional Goals, Financial Goals, Academic Goals, Self Improvement goals
etc. To make your plan work well and help you achieve your goal list out at least
3 action plans and put a time frame to each action plan. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">It is assumed
that you would write down all the plans listed above. It is equally essential
that you<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>ensure that your plans are
often seen by you. This means you need to display it in a place where you see
it and are reminded of it regularly. Additionally it would help you to share
some of your significant plans with family and friends who hopefully will prod
you, nag you, remind you, push you and pester you about your progress on the
goals. Sure enough you will find yourself spending your TIME very productively
chasing those plans. Don’t forget to also review your plans and revise it if
needed for almost all plans need tweaking and adjustment before they fructify
into achievements.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">On the other
hand one need not get obsessed with TIME or else one would never enjoy a good
time. Partying and relaxation is as important as achieving your goals. Taking
TIME out to recharge and rejuvenate is an essential part of spending TIME for
your self. Similarly ensure frequent time out for family, friends, socializing
for as a social animal, these are significant moments that will ensure a
healthy personal, family and social life. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-US">At various times
each of us will feel guilty of either squandering time or being slaves to time.
It is possible that there is some truth in this feeling of guilt for none us
can ever be clock work in real life. What is important is not to let the guilt
overwhelm us but on making the realization take steps to remedy the situation.
This is possible only if one ensures that his/ her time allocation for whatever
planned has ample time cushions. We get stressed when we fail to allocate time
cushions for life is always full of surprises and we can never be sure of what
lies in store. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-US">There are times
when each of us have also gone through the agony of finding time weighing
heavily on us especially when sick or immobilized or when one has lost his/ her
job or retired. That is the time for one to be creative in utilizing your time.
Think positively, find alternatives, rework your plans, don’t forget that 24
hours is all yours; use it well. Results may not be apparent or immediate, but <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">patience</b> is a value that is best taught
by TIME.</span></div>

When we hear the word <span style="color: red;">WORK</span> the immediate thought that
comes to mind for most people is that it is an insipid, terrible way of going
about living. If these thoughts overpower us daily, our daily life will be
hellish one. Rich or poor, king or pauper work is destined on mankind and we
cannot escape that reality. Some may argue that the filthy rich need not work
but look around and you will notice that they are working harder than most. The
utterly poor including beggars also have to go about doing their work so as to
earn, live make their life more comfortable and pleasant. Since work is
inevitable, how about looking at life in a more acceptable way and see it as a <b><span style="color: red;">W</span></b>ay <b><span style="color: red;">O</span></b>f <b><span style="color: red;">R</span></b>ewarding <b><span style="color: red;">K</span></b>nowledge?</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The rewards of work are
manifold</b>. To begin with, work enables us to keep busy. If we did not have
any work, we would in serious trouble since an idle mind is the devil’s
workshop. Work rewards us with learning. While it is true that we often do the
job based on what we have learnt, the reality is that what we learn on the job
is far more critical in terms of being efficient and productive. It also
enables us to realize our true potential and perhaps even helps us discover
shades of out personality that we never knew existed. The most important reward
of work is that it leads to monetary gains be it salary or profit. Far too
often we focus on the monetary rewards without applying our mind to the quantum
of effort or quality of work we do. Perhaps this often leads us to hate our
work. By and large each one is rewarded by work in a relatively fair manner.</div>

The <b>key to doing good work is
in leveraging the knowledge</b> one has to the fullest. This could mean that at
times we have to upgrade our knowledge, seek out opportunities at work to find
niches in which we can pitch out expertise and the truly rewarded are those who
make work a passion of their own liking. Knowledge is never static and so while
academics can provide crucial inputs to get us going being able to proactively
improve and enhance value in the work done is what brings large rewards. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The problem for many is <b>how to
love our work</b>. My suggestions are as under:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>First accept that work is a
reality that we cannot escape.</li>
<li>Next try and find a work that is
closest to your interest, passion, knowledge and ability.</li>
<li>If you are unable to find such a
work that matches all the above or worse still has no correlation to any of the
above, then be grateful you have some work that keeps you out of trouble and in
fact rewards you for the effort. </li>
<li>Dispassionately look at your work
and find as many reasons as possible to be appreciative / thankful for the work
you do. E.g. A heart surgeon has greater respect in society than a pathologist
who conducts autopsies. Yet there must be some motivation for people to choose
to be a pathologist</li>
<li>DO also remember that, it is
human nature to be craving for more and the rewards of work rarely satisfy most
people. So while you must seek to be rewarded more for the better work you do,
do not forget that better work means more effort.</li>
</ul>

A plan is a guide to a destination. A good plan therefore
essentially means that one has to think hard, visualize possibilities and
alternatives, crystallize a clear goal and outline intermediate steps to attain
the goal. The plan also ensures that our focus is on the goal, we are aware of
slip ups and deviations and we can then consciously take corrective action. </span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">We must be aware
that most times <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">we do not plan because</b>
it takes effort, the possibilities seem daunting and we fear making the
commitment. However, what we fail <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">to
appreciate</b> are <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">the benefits</b> that
accrue from having a well laid out plan. To begin with there is clarity. We
know the destination and we can chalk out the route map. Proper plans build in
milestones so as to ensure we are on the right road and that we are keeping
pace with the time allotted without overshooting the budgets. The best plans
also have sufficient time and fiscal cushions inbuilt so that exigencies can be
taken care of. Plans ensure that we commit the right resources at the right
time in the right measure to ensure the right results. </span></div>

commit themselves can benefit monetarily by making early bird payments. With a
finely tuned plan, one can juggle priorities and even find the time for
personal pursuits be it a hobby or recreational activity. With proper plans put
in place, one can also go for more sophisticated savings implementation like
Just In Time production and zero defect production. Smooth operations, minimizing
crisis, managing crisis if any, collapsing execution time frames are some additional
benefits of good plans. </span></div>

Maintaining a diary and scheduling appointments and assignments enhance the quality

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">There
is an old adage which reads ‘<span style="color: red;">SILENCE</span> is golden’.
Perhaps the beginning of this adage could be attributed to our forefathers, the
cave men who leveraged the power of silence the most when in the jungle. They used
silence to stalk a prey and kill for food and they also used silence as a means
to eliminate potential danger from animals and foes stalking them. Over thousands
of years just as the cave men evolved the meaning of silence evolved and today we

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">While
communication has progressed in leaps and bounds, from sign language to the
spoken word to the written word and today through wireless technology, our
senses are being overworked and fatigued by the sheer magnitude, variety and intensity
of the communication tirade. As a result <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">we
now have to make a systematic and conscious effort to embrace silence</b>.
Putting the mobile phones on silent mode is a visible manifestation of the need
for silence to be induced. With noise overpowering us in different ways, being
immune to its wiles is not an option. However by being aware that noise is
negatively impacting us we find ways and means to address the issue so that we
have a better appreciation of our life devoid of complications.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Meditation
is perhaps one of the most popular techniques used to leverage the power of
silence. The Vippasana method is perhaps one of the most intensive and
effective techniques of using the power of silence to connect with the inward
self and to rediscover ourself. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Whatever
the technique, the essence of silence is cut out the noise in our life both
physical and metaphorical so that we can listen to our heart, our mind and our
conscience</b>. This means we have to eliminate Noise which is sound from the
physical world as well as the sounds of negativity, fear and loneliness which
is psychological. Then there is clutter that is an outcome of a disorganized,
confused and tardy style of lining and thinking. Lack of concentration, being easily
distracted and flirting with ideas and thoughts aimlessly, are manifestations
of this type of noise. Finally there is the ego, which time and time again
rears its ugly head and manifests itself in one-upmanship, the compelling urge
to hold center stage and a defiant and stubborn attitude. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt;">Libraries
are prime examples of how SILENCE is accorded a god like status. Have you
noticed that you can focus better, widen the depth and breadth of your
knowledge<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>and above all stimulate & recharge
yourself in the library. If you were to extend the golden rule of silence in
everyday life, you would be more observant, less argumentative, soak in a lot
more and have people pay attention to you when you share your thoughts and
ideas. This is because <span style="color: red;">SILENCE</span> provides both you
and those around you an opportunity to <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">S</span></b>oak <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">I</span></b>n <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">L</span></b>ife <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">E</span></b>liminating <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">N</span></b>oise <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">C</span></b>lutter & <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">E</span></b>go</span></div>

<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>Next time you attend a meeting or
follow a discussion on TV observe those who speak sparingly. How do they come
across in their style of communication? Do they make substantially more
contribution to the quality of the discussion/ meeting?</li>
<li>Try to sit silently for 5
minutes. Did time weigh heavily on you? Were you able to control your mind from
wandering here and there and thinking about a wide variety of issues?</li>
<li>Watch a Charlie Chaplin movie to appreciate
the power of eloquence emitting from that silent movie.</li>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Everyone has noble thoughts, good intentions and certainly the desire
to be an ideal individual</b>. Many a time these positive thoughts propel us
into action and we begin with élan and panache only to falter, fail and give up
too soon. For the vast majority our intent keeps the desire burning in us but
does not manifest itself in anything tangible or substantial. The key to
transforming our lives into the ideal and successful individual we intent to be,
is in making a determined effort to <span style="color: red;">COMMIT</span>
ourselves to what we set out to do. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"></span>The
moment we make that effort to commit to our plans and dreams is the moment we <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">C</span></b><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">reate </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">O</span></b><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">ne </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">M</span></b><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">ajor </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">M</span></b><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">agical </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I</span></b><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">nstant </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">T</span></b><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">ransformation</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">We fail to commit for a variety of reasons</b>. Top of the list is our
sheer laziness.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Sadly that is followed
by our unwillingness to challenge ourselves, our fear of failure, our penchant
for escapism to more enjoyable pursuits and of course lack of self discipline. If
we delve into our school/ college days, many of us would make the regrettable and
painful realization that our marks and performance were not up to our abilities
simply because we did not commit ourselves to the rigors of studying for the
reasons elucidated earlier. Despite this realization, we continue with our
wayward ways and hope for some divine miracle or some chance success. It is
essential to remember here that if you want to win the lottery you must commit
the price of the lottery ticket and buy the lottery; no pain no gain is the
simple principle.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Fast forward your thoughts to those
momentous events in your life that made you happy and elated. Underlying each
of those moments, there would surely be commitment made by either you or
someone close to you to ensure those magical moments. It could be the first
time you were applauded by your teacher or the very first goal you scored in a
match. It could be a fancy dress completion in which you won a prize or the
time you cleared a competitive exam. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">What
is common is that for every little success you enjoyed you did commit yourself
to the task on hand</b>. Whilst other too would have made similar commitments, with
a wee bit of luck and perhaps your special talent and ability you managed to
taste success. There could many moments that your recollect where despite you
committing yourself you were disappointed with the outcome. However you will
never regret those moments because you know for sure that it was not because
you didn’t commit that you didn’t win but for reasons beyond your control.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">So how does one ensure that one can commit to something?</b> The first
is to decide what you want to commit yourself too. This is a very tough
decision because many a time there are so many equally attractive opportunities
competing for your attention. Remember Mr.V.V.S.Laxaman the star batsmen in the
Indian cricket team. He had to make a momentous decision in his teens whether
to pursue his academics and follow his parent’s footsteps and become a doctor or
to pursue his love for cricket despite it being an extremely competitive sport.
He did commit to the latter and the rest is history. Notice there was nothing common
between the choices on hand for him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Once you decide what to commit to, be
prepared to give it your all.</b> This means sacrificing a lot of pleasures, being
self disciplined, being ready to face the physical and psychological pain,
having the courage to fall down and get up no matter how hurt you are and being
ready to shut yourself away from all forms of temptations. Does this guarantee
success? Alas the answer is NO but it definitely brightens the chances of
success because once you <span style="color: red;">COMMIT </span>you <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">C</span></b><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">reate </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">O</span></b><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">ne </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">M</span></b><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">ajor </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">M</span></b><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">agical </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I</span></b><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">nstant </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">T</span></b><span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 115%;">ransformation and you will be a

<ol style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Take out your New Year resolution
list or prepare one right away. It must have at least 3 short term goals,
perhaps another 3-5 medium term goals and possibly 3 long term goals. For each
of these goals outline at least 2 firm commitments to ensure your progress
towards achieving your goals. E.g. If you have a long term goal of achieving X
amount by the age of 55 list out how much you will save from today and where
will you invest it. To arrive at the savings figure each month you may have to
do a fair bit of calculations but that is all part of what you have committed
to. Or if you have short term goal of improving your scores in the coming exams
prepare a study time table and allot more time to the subject you are weak in
or dislike.</li>
<li>Can you remember 2 of your most
passionate dreams? Perhaps it includes things like meeting your favorite icon
or owning a fancy car or creating a mobile app etc. Now commit yourself to the
intermediary steps to achieve that dream. </li>
<li>Outline 5 of the most pleasurable
diversions / activities that you love. (Partying / movies / TV / sleeping /
chat / mobile games etc. could be part of that list.) Commit yourself to
sacrificing 3 out of the 5 in order to achieve your dreams/ goals. </li>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
I came across these intriguing
expansions of the word FEAR and was sure it would provide an interesting
analysis. Earlier I had written on the very popular expansion False Evidence
Appearing Real (<a href="http://www.poweract.blogspot.in/2009/12/fear.html">http://www.poweract.blogspot.in/2009/12/fear.html</a>)
and thought this to be an equally enlightening way to appreciate the context
and interpretation in everyday life. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">F</span></b>orget <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">E</span></b>verything <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">A</span></b>nd <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">R</span></b>un is something that everyone would
experienced sometime or the other. It is the essence of survival else we would
not have been blessed with it. There is nothing to be ashamed of by giving in
to your fears for not all of us are alike and we all have our inhibitions,
anxieties, quirks and phobias. However, we also carry a lot of false notions
about our ability to cope with a stressful situation and that is when we need
to ensure that our fear is not irrational, unsubstantiated or unfounded. E.g.
Fear of exams is often the result of poor preparations that triggers panic as
exams draw near. Fear of public speaking is actually a culmination of negative
thinking about all the possible disastrous scenarios that we visualize and don’t
dare to confront. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
So before we decide to give in to
our fears we need to calmly examine the rationale and probability of our fears
being genuine. E.g. A person with a very short temper would be well advised to
realize his/ her inability to keep the temper in check and walk away from a
possible explosive situation without feeling like a coward. <b>Suicide is perhaps
the most unfortunate nadir of FEAR translating to read <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">F</span></span>orget <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">E</span></span>verything <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">A</span></span>nd <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">R</span></span>un</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">F</span></b>ace <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">E</span></b>verything <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">A</span></b>nd <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">R</span></b>ise on the other hand is key tool
that leaders utilize to stand tall and influence others. Confronting our fears
is the best way to find out if the fears are valid or largely imaginary. The
risk of ending up with egg on the face or failure is very real but the experience
garnered would be invaluable. Being pragmatic and realistic is essential if one
dares to face fears to ensure that the odds are favorable. E.g. It would be
fool hardy to show false bravado and confront a desperate gunman, unless the
person has no choice. Similarly taking on potentially dangerous dares or
getting into an ugly spat with a charged up mob, tend to be foolish choices
exercised when better alternatives could be at hand. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Peer pressure is often a trigger
for people to succumb to pressures of being seen as a sissy. Getting addicted
to vices like drinking and smoking or drugs has its beginnings in people
succumbing to peer pressure and indulging to begin with. If they face the
pressure and rose above the pressure, it is possible that they would be spared
the addiction. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Another example would be
that of a person who is not comfortable driving at high speeds should never be pressurized
by fellow passengers into reckless driving but be bold enough to face the
taunts and stick to his/ her comfortable speed limit. <b>Articulating a minority
view points with passion and conviction in many ways is symbolic of how one can
cope with a majority pressure and yet <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">F</span></span>ace <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">E</span></span>verything <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">A</span></span>nd <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">R</span></span>ise.</b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
What distinguishes the successful
person from one who has not realized his/ her full potential is the <span style="color: red;">BELIEF</span> that they are able to begin with and sustain in
pursuit of their goals for they <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">B</span></b>egin <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">E</span></b>fforts <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">L</span></b>ooking <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">I</span></b>nwards <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">E</span></b>mbracing <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">F</span></b>aith. As they say well begun is half done and
self belief is the key to beginning a task well. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Belief is not something that is alien to us</b>. We were born with it
but we were not aware of it. Look at a little child who first begins to turn on
the side, then learns to turn over on to its belly and thereafter begins to
crawl. While instinct and evolutionary process could explain this progression,
one cannot deny that there was an unconscious self belief that propelled this
progress. Look at a toddler taking its first steps. It falls, perhaps hurts
itself, cries but soon the failure is forgotten and with renewed belief it
keeps attempting till he/she has taken the first wobbly steps.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The problem with us lacking
belief actually began when we experienced and understood the term fear. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Fear sows in us the seeds of doubt </b>and
slowly the large majority of us fall into a quagmire of self doubt, insecurity
and risk aversion. The antidote for this is calculated risk taking which
involves making a realistic assessment of the reality around and then cautiously
proceeding to pursue ones goals. Once we repeatedly do this and embrace
success, fear is slowly erased and replaced by belief that comes from regained
confidence, renewed passion and anticipated success.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The long term means to have
BELIEF is in <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Looking Inwards</b> and
finding your strengths, your abilities, your passions and your temperament. In
the process you would also become aware of your limitations, your dislikes,
your fears and your inadequacies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">The process of looking inwards is a journey
to self discovery; a path we often avoid, for fear of confronting the
unpalatable</b>. Yet it is this self discovery that liberates us from our self
imposed limitations be it in being risk averse or failing to harness our
talents. Ironic as it sounds, this is actually a conscious attempt to discover
the unconscious powers within that have remained latent but can now be ignited
with a zealous spirit and harnessed into a passionate flame that powers us and
fires us from within.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Once we realize that we are
powerful beyond belief, we need to <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Embrace
with Faith</b> everything that has to be done to attain our goals. As they say
Faith can move mountains; and you can imagine how much more easier it is to
move ourselves as compared to mountains, provided we have faith in our abilities,
our resilience and our cherished desires. Faith transcribes self belief into a
self propelling, self directed and self motivated ball of energy that launches
itself to attain its goal.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
So take a <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">deep look inside</b> and find your destination, then <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">embrace with faith</b> the efforts you have
to take and the sacrifices you have to make and Begin your Efforts for that is
when your <span style="color: red;">BELIEF</span> will translate into the success
that comes with you <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">B</span></b>eginning <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">E</span></b>fforts <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">L</span></b>ooking <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">I</span></b>nwards <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">E</span></b>mbracing <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">F</span></b>aith.</div>

Each and every one of has had an IDEA or may be
many ideas, to make life more enjoyable, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>be it to make more money, find more happiness,
enjoy healthy relationships or experience bliss.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Each <span style="color: red;">IDEA</span>
would have seemed exceptional to us because each one was based on an <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">I</span></b>nnovative
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">D</span></b>ramatic
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">E</span></b>xclusive
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">A</span></b>ssumption.
Perhaps one of those unique and exclusive prerogatives granted to the human
race is our ability to generate ideas for the progress that the human race has
made is only due to our constant evolution by leveraging ideas. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<b>On and individual level though</b>, time and time again
we would have discovered that almost every idea of ours after the initial euphoria
would have created a number of self doubts, seem to have innumerable problems
in execution and largely fizzle out. The idea itself maybe very sound to begin
with but they fizzle out because ideas are quick to germinate but like plants
require to be nurtured with care and patience. To appreciate this one needs to
understand the intricacies of an IDEA as under:</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Innovation </b>is
the key to an idea. It refers to the ability to generate thoughts that are new
and different from the existing. This is also the crux of an idea. The focus is
on being different, thinking out of the box and generating thoughts that are
novel. Yet the problem with innovation is that they take wings immediately but
when they attempt to fly<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>they realize that
the wing span is neither ergonomically right nor well developed to soar high as
anticipated. This means that the innovative idea has to be studied in depth and
redesigned painstakingly to ensure success. Most of don’t have the self belief ,
the patience and / or the technical, financial and managerial ability to make
the innovative idea fructify.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Dramatic
ideas</b> refer to the realization that the idea can be revolutionary and dramatically
alter our existing world. When an idea strikes us the impact is euphoric
because we believe that now we can revolutionize the world with our dramatically
different idea. Yet when we attempt to find out more about the acceptance of
the idea we have, we are often stupendified to note that ideas similar to ours
have existed in varied forms and the whole drama then ebbs out of the idea. At
this point for most of us the idea now becomes deflated balloon and we are too
weary and fatigued to attempt to adapt our idea to make a dramatic impact
again.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Exclusive
idea</b> is the belief that the way our idea pans out will be unique, different
and just the prerogative of our fertile mind and imagination. In a world full
of ideating individual’s exclusivity is a very rare privilege and even that privilege
has to be backed by tremendous confidence, financial support and exceptional
marketing to ensure that the difference is visible and noticeable. For many of
us the exclusivity of the idea loses steam no sooner we realize the price one
has to pay to ensure that exclusivity. We are also drawn into a inner conflict
of being pragmatic about our idea and daring to risk everything for it. Most of
us then retreat to the safety of mediocrity for then we can continue to sustain
ourselves.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Assumptions </b>are
the common thread that runs through each element of an idea. At every stage we
assume that the idea we have is new, impactful and privileged to us alone. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When the realization that our assumptions were
wrong in varying degrees hits us we first do a double take as if someone has
hit us on the solar plexus. The wind is taken out of us and unless our mental makeup
is that of a gritty boxer we do not hear the count of 8 and close our eyes and
allow ourselves to throw in the towel. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">The
fault is not in our ideas, it is in our approach to the idea; we cannot take on
and build up on our ideas with kid gloves; what we need is the grit, guts and panache
of a world beater heavy weight champion.</b> </div>

<li>The simplest idea is to draw up an elaborate New
Year Resolution List. For certain you would have done it in the past and by and
large the list has remained as it is or perhaps grown in length. Read the post
above and notice how almost all of what is said above is reflected in your
failure to effectively stick to your resolutions of the past. Do you have an
IDEA how you can ensure your current New Year Resolutions can be effectively
implemented. ( hint : put a time frame to each resolution, mark timelines to review
progress, announce key resolutions to family and friends so that you are more
committed to it etc.)</li>
<li>Come up with 5 ideas to enhance your income this
year by 25 %. Now work on one or more of these ideas and by March end review

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">It was the vision of the Wright brothers to fly that enabled
them to etch their names for posterity as the first humans to take off and land
an aero plane. It was a similar vision that enabled Louis Pasteur to suggest pasteurization
as the simple process to ensure that milk was fit for consumption without risk
of illness. Notice that what the Wright brothers set out to do was <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">invent something</b> that didn’t exist
while Louis Pasteur through study and experimentations <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">discovered</b> the utility of boiling milk. What is common though is
that both of them had the vision to achieve what they set out to do. These
examples could perhaps give a mistaken notion that vision is all that scientists
and intellectuals set out to achieve. Look around and observe the small and insignificant
stop gap arrangements you may have done yourself to meet an urgent need. It
could be as trivial as using visiting cards as bookmarks or folding paper and
inserting it under a door to keep it from banging shut when the wind blows.
These are inspired solutions called creativity and is the seed of vision.</span></div>

of conviction to do it.</span></b><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> Far too often
our vision is a result of a problem needing a solution spurring us on. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">The essence of vision though, is seeing
what does not exist, creating something that never existed and / or letting
imagination run wild and then harnessing its power scientifically</b>. The Fosbury
flop the most widely used technique in high jump today is tribute to the man
who dared to be radically different and succeeded so well, that he ensured that
his vision became synonyms with his name and made it a part of athletics
folklore. Similarly Henri Fayol’s Principles of management espouse the vision
that he had in outlining and distilling the essentials of management. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Most of us have noble intentions, are idealist by upbringing
and would love to be seen as heroic when the chips are down. In reality though,
notwithstanding our most utopian concept of our self, we falter when we have to
stand up to be counted for we do not<span style="color: red;"> DARE</span> and go
ahead and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">D</span></b>isplay
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">A</span></b>ction
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">R</span></b>isking
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">E</span></b>verything.
We fear the consequences, we are terrified of being the odd man out and refuse
to take risks that could disturb the tranquilly that comes out of adherence to
the norm.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">We do not dare because <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">we
are</b> by and large <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">creatures of habit</b>
and we would prefer to traverse the known path, rather than explore possibilities
that could be tougher, riskier and possibly life threatening. Other times we do
not dare because <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">we do not want to move
out of our comfort zone</b>. Those who fear public speaking are classic
examples of individuals who prefer to be passive audiences than active participants.
There are many who do not dare because <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">they
do not see a value proposition</b> in pursuing that path. Remember the time in
school when you knew the culprit but did not dare to tell it to the teacher
because you did not see how you would benefit from being a tale tattler whilst
the risk of being ostracized by the rest of the class was very probable.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Almost <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">all of us
enjoy giving a dare to others</b> but could possibly shy away from attempting the
same dare, Remember the dares we gave people when playing passing the parcel
?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>True some of those dares seem pretty
silly and childish on hindsight but all the same they were still challenging
then. However there <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">are many who enjoy the
thrill of taking on a dare</b>. They would be the first to take on a challenge,
find the tallest tree to climb or the attempt to lift the heaviest rock that
he/ she can grasp. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Ironically</b> it is
perhaps this very quality that could be their undoing for <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">false bravado</b> often results in <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">misplaced
confidence</b> and taking on very risky dares. This might explain the number of
people who get swept away when they go swimming in the beaches despite warnings
not to or ending up in fatal car crashes when speeding and losing control. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Then <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">there are the
professionals</b> who take on some terribly risky dares. The various circus
artistes are a prime example of professionals taking on dares. The care and motorcycle
racing drivers are another set of professionals who flirt with danger by daring
to race on treacherous tracks and in dangerous weather conditions. The most <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">revered daredevils</b> are the ones who
sacrifice their life in the taking on dangerous missions. The policemen, the
fire fighters and the soldiers all deserve a special salute for the very nature
of their job involves being daring. However, <b>what is significant to the readers</b>
is the knowledge that <b>each of us has it in us</b> to <span style="color: red;">DARE</span>; begin by <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>following the law, the path of righteousness
and by championing the cause of the oppressed, the down trodden and the marginalized;

is often associated with risky daring exploits, the types immortalized by war
heroes and over hyped by the movies; be it a James Bond genre or a Rocky
series. More subtle variations of Bravery are displayed in spy thrillers and
select war movies.

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Far
too often bravery is portrayed or understood to mean undertaking death defying
challenges ostensibly for a just cause. The ultimate act of bravery is
epitomized and lauded when a person dies in the line of duty whilst battling
evil or enemies. Whilst there is no two opinions that flirting with death and
succumbing to it at times is the pinnacle of bravery, one should not mistake
that to be the only act of bravery. In daily life each of us is provided with a
variety of opportunities to display our bravery. Unfortunately most times we
prefer to choose soft options rationalizing that it is better to go with the
flow than stand up and be in the eye of a storm. Standing up to resist any form
of corruption would perhaps rank very high in the list of opportunities to be
brave. This could be closely followed by opportunities to speak up against injustice,
taking a principled stand on matters that need self regulation (eg. Following traffic
discipline or refusing to allow another to copy from you in an exam) or being brave
enough to own up ones mistakes.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Overcoming
our fears and anxieties would be best tackled by finding ones reserve of
bravery from deep within. Public speaking for example is widely accepted fear
for most people and it takes a lot of courage to bravely volunteer to face an
audience. You need to be doubly brave to repeat the performance in case you
messed up the first time. Where power equations are dominant, as in seniors and
juniors in academic institutions or in professional life where there is a boss
subordinate relationship, those on the lower echelons would have to have
display extraordinary bravery to resist the tyranny of those higher up in the hierarchy,
Similarly treading an offbeat path be it in a career choice, pursuing a passion
or dreaming big requires tremendous self belief and an even bigger slice of
bravery.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">There
is nothing as refreshing as taking <span style="color: red;">REST</span> for it
is the perfect antidote to work, stress and tiredness. With the hectic pace of
life in a fast paced world, everyone gets caught up in the rat race and <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">opting out to rest is often viewed as a luxury
one cannot afford</b>. Yet just as a woodcutter pauses to sharpen his axe in order
to do a more productive work, each of us is obligated to ensure one takes
adequate rest for that is the perfect way to <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">R</span></b>ecoup <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">E</span></b>nergy & <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">S</span></b>tave off <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">T</span></b>roubles.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Recouping
energy is critical in order to remain in peak fitness, prolong one’s efficiency
and to cope with the fresh demands made each day. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">While we often focus on physical energy when we think of taking rest,
it is the mental energy that we need to regain which plays a more vital role in
an individual’s life</b>. Mental fatigue could be an outcome of excessive focus
(preparation for exams is a good case in point), a result of worry and stress (an
impending visit to a doctor especially a dentist is a fine example) and / or a byproduct
of lack of sleep and excessive physical work (organizing a family wedding of an
immediate family member is perhaps a very apt example). Taking rest ensures
that we let our mind/ thoughts/ feelings/ body hibernate and recharge.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Lack
of rest often results in <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">unpleasant outcomes
physically and mentally</b>. These troubles could be in the nature of anxiety
disorders, exhaustion, ailments, distraction and disorientation and could culminate
in serious illness. By ensuring one takes adequate rest we can stave off these
troubles. One of the great miracles of life is the healing process that nature
has bestowed on us. You would realize that the healing process is a function of
time and supportive care. Rest is the underlying prescription for all troubles.</span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">An unfortunate myth about rest is
that it only involves distancing one’s self from regular work</span></b><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">.
An offshoot of this myth is that one ends up being couch potatoes, plonking for
hours in front of the TV or computer or mobile phone. What one does not realize
is that by being addicted to these gadgets subconsciously we are prone to
anxiety disorders thereby adding to stress and completely negating the concept
of rest. It is essential that we be aware of our urge/ addiction/ cravings of
this nature for they pose the biggest challenge to genuine rest. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Sleep is perhaps the best form of rest</b>,
for then one is in a state of bliss cut off from all distractions. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Being in the midst of nature</b> soaking in
the wonders that abound could come a very close second as an ideal form of
rest. Spending time with near and dear ones particularly in the form of a <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">holiday</b> could be another outlet to soak
in the wonders of rest. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Indulging in
ones passion</b>, hobby and spending time with ones pet could also provide us opportunities
to rest.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">With
the Olympics having wound up just over 2 weeks ago, the lasting images are that
of the winners taking their pride of place on the <span style="color: red;">PODIUM</span>
the ultimate <b><span style="color: red;">P</span></b>lace
<b><span style="color: red;">O</span></b>f <b><span style="color: red;">Di</span></b>splaying

<b><span style="color: red;">U</span></b>nique
<b><span style="color: red;">M</span></b>oment.
It is in that triumph that all the preparation, the sacrifices, the injuries
suffered and the failures encountered enroute all seem to have played <span> </span>a critical role in attaining success. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Whether
sports or otherwise, for the views and audience it is the performance on the
day that matter. However for he performer, the performance on the day is vital,
but they can hope to strike it rich only if they have sweated it out, worked on
going that extra mile, repeated and perfected the technique so that they are
well prepared for D day. Unfortunately, there are occasions when the best do
not get their due on<span> </span>D Day and hence
miss out on holding centre stage on the podium. A false start in the relays,
foul jumps, a niggle that bothers or the sheer weight of expectations can bog a
person down and prevent him / her from being a winner.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The
winner’s podium has an unique elevation that recognizes the uniqueness of each
person privileged to stand on it. I it also draws attention to the collective
achievement of those standing on it. By the time a person is privileged to
stand on a podium, the enormity of the achievement slowly sinks in and translates
into an overwhelming mix of emotions joy, pride, sense of achievement and relief.
All these emotions translate into tears of joy, a thumping of the chest, the
raising of the arms and the mutual respect for each other. Competitors turn
collaborators in a show of collective respect and admiration for one and other.

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The
winners be it the Gold, Silver or Bronze medalists know that their position on
the podium was not a fluke but the result of self belief, sacrifice, persistence
and hard work. The victory when it comes is savored with a mix of ecstasy, relief
and excitement. These feelings are displayed with all the intense passion that
highlights the uniqueness of the moment they have waited for.

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">The hurdles is a unique event where mans ingenuity to
make the staid and boring activity of running more interesting was improvised upon
by putting hurdles that participants have to overcome in order to win. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">However the hurdles event if seen
differently actually mimics life;</b> each day that we live largely is routine
but when we seek out opportunities they are there in plenty but unfortunately
there are apparently too many hurdles to overcome if one has to grab the opportunities.
These <span style="color: red;">HURDLES</span> in real life can be seen as <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">H</span></b>aving</span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">U</span></b>nexpected <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">R</span></b>esistors <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">D</span></b>emanding <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">L</span></b>eaps to <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">E</span></b>nsure <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">S</span></b>uccess.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">There are numerous lessons that one can learn from the
hurdles event. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">To begin with one must
anticipate the hurdles, one must prepare to cross them, one cannot side step
them but have to leap over them and finally even if one stumbles at a hurdle it
may not necessarily mar ones chances of success</b>. As human beings though,
these lessons from the track and field hurdling event is not easily appreciated
and put into daily living. If we analyze each learning point we would realize that
life’s challenges and hurdles can be managed with relative ease.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Anticipate the hurdles – </span></b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">There is no one in this wide world who can claim to be
free of problems, challenges and tensions. It is therefore prudent to stop,
pause and reflect on the possible challenges that one will have to encounter
along life’s path. By anticipating, we won’t be taken by surprise, we will have
some plans to meet the hurdles and more importantly our confidence won’t be
dented.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Prepare to cross them – </span></b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Just like one prepares for an exam without really
knowing the questions that will actually come in the question paper, one can
work on meeting some challenges that we can anticipate. E.g. if communication in
English is a weakness because one has studied in the vernacular, then working
on ones English language skills is imperative. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">One cannot side step them but have to
leap over them </span></b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">– There is an English
saying ‘do not bury your head in the sand like and ostrich’ which implies that
when confronted with unavoidable troubles do not try to ignore it or run away
from it. Just as the hurdlers have to leap over the hurdles one has to confront
challenges with daring and fortitude. Here another saying is equally relevant
which states ‘ you cannot cross a chasm in two steps’; implying that at times
one has to take a risk and make big decisions. E.g. Someone who is an employee
could be passionate about a business venture but he / she has to leave behind
the security of a fixed salary and possible take a huge income loss before
establishing one’s business. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Even if one
stumbles at a hurdle it may not necessarily mar ones chances of success</span></b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">.- Even the best hurdles in the world have a bad day
in office occasionally, when they stumble over the hurdles. In life we are more
prone to stumble off and on for the hurdles are not evenly placed nor the height
evenly adjusted as in the track event. Each day brings new, different and intriguing
challenges. Keeping motivated each day is perhaps the most commonly experienced
challenge for most human beings. Being satisfied is another huge challenge.
These are generic challenges but some specific challenges can be a huge hurdle
to overcome. The good part of the hurdles is that life gives us many opportunities
to fail and get up and retry. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The best
part is that the biggest and most challenging hurdles merely require us to
overcome our personal inhibitions. The superlative part of the hurdles we have
to overcome is that we do not have to prove our ability to anyone but merely
find our inner strength and <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>passion and
align it with our goals to overcome them. These <span style="color: red;">HURDLES</span>
in real life can then be experienced as <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="color: red;">H</span></b>aving</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> overcome

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">In sports and particularly during the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">OLYMPICS</b>, the most eagerly looked forward to events are the races. A
<span style="color: red;">RACE</span> is perhaps the simplest form of showing of superiority

winner. What makes a race even more interesting is the variety, innovations and
complexities that have transformed races to become the pivot of sporting jamboree
the Olympics.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The marathon has always remained a major symbol of the
triumph of the human spirit and endurance, and the race most associated with
the Olympics. However, over the years the races have evolved to broadly encompass
the short distance races, the middle distance races, the long distance races
and then endurance races. Walking race too has become an important race. The
swimming events have made races even more exciting with the varied styles of
swimming posing challenges for even the best. The hurdles and relays are
innovations that have enhanced the variety and added luster to make the races
more intriguing. With the introduction of the steeple chase the races have
embraced complexities that add glitter and glitz to the simple and pure form of
basic human entertainment and achievement.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">For sheer ecstasy and emotion, nothing is comparable to the
short sprints be it the hurdles or the 400, 200 and 100 meter races. While the
timing of the top most athletes participating in these events is almost
identical, what makes the race a sheer joy is the very high probability of
upsets that can happen, These could be from the basic error of being disqualified
for a false start or lane violation or it could be due to injury or a tumble
that could prove decisive in having upsets hold centre stage. At the end of the
day, it is the photo finishes that result in a whisker thin victory that sends
the adrenaline of the officials, spectators and supporters racing.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">A bit of glitz and sheen has been taken away from the races
of late with athletes resorting to dubious means like doping and use of performance
enhancing drugs to win the race. Despite these hiccups, whether you are sports
fan or not, chances are that you will never miss out on seeing the races
especially at the Olympics for you would be just as keen to bet on who would
