In the journey of life, there is a point where everything seems to have a dead end. A point where there is no single hope left. A point where saying that we have problems, is an under statement. Its at this point where one questions the value of his existence on earth. But is there a dead end really?  "Now it happened on a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother's house, that a messenger came to Job and said , 'the oxen were plowing and the donkeys feeding beside them, and the Sabeans attacked  and took them. They also slew the servants with the edge of the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you".  While he was still speaking, another also came and said, " the fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants and consumed them: and I alone have escaped to tell you".  While he was still speaking, another also came and said, " the Chaldeans formed three bands and made a raid on the...

We all have the pressure that we have got to deal with everyday ;with friends, with family , with worker mates, with parents among others. The more you listen to opinions of people on the expense of yours, the more you lose who you are! Recently, I realised I don't know how to be anything but myself. What you believe in and how you feel about yourself is more important than how anyone feel about you. Manage your emotions, the right way is the domination of the mind over the emotions. When you make loving others the story of your life , there is never a final chapter , because the legacy continues! Concentrate your energies , your thoughts and your capital. The wise man puts all his eggs in one basket and watches the basket. Whatever you pay attention to either bad or good will grow. The mistake we make is to focus on what doesn't matter much! Figure out a few things that really matter to your success in life and concentrate on them. One of my thought leaders, Oprah Winfrey, con...

 A bat doesn't see, but it can never collide with obstacles!! As the bat is moving, it emits sound waves of  frequencies above  20000 hertz through its mouth and nostrils. When the waves reaches the obstacle , they get reflected back and are detected by the bat. In that way the bat is able to locate obstacles and avoids them. Many of us human beings don't develop the insight of the likely obstacles ahead of us! We end up lamenting, regretting and grabbling ! Every decision you make  creates an action that either make you move a step forward or backward . When I was young , I liked sweet. Whenever my mother could send me to the market to buy tomatoes, usually of 500/=, I could buy sweets for 100/= first, proceed to the market and buy tomatoes for 400/= . One day as usual , I bought the sweets first but surprisingly I found no tomatoes in the market!! I went back home without the tomatoes and with incomplete money! My mother asked " If the tomatoes were not there, then...

"Believing that tomorrow will be better, we bear the hardship today with a smile."  People say history repeats itself! I don't really think it does! It is only true if we don't learn the lessons in it , which we usually do! We only recall the dates and the events but not the lessons ! The same applies to failure .   If you continue living , you will definitely fail at one point or the other. It really hurts to fail!  However, its not the failure that destroy us but how we think about the failure. Even when you have failed ten times on the same thing, don't give up .Through persistence, water penetrates rocks . Learn something new every time you fail, eventually you will win. Its the hope that today it has failed but tomorrow we will make it that keeps us struggling and surely we will get it. One of my thought leaders  concretizes it this way " We should actually be grateful that some things don't work out the way we once wanted them to. When we fail or ge...

Will Ferrell said "Empathy and kindness are the true signs of emotional intelligence". A certain professor was teaching political science. In the class, there was a rich politician who always undermined the professor. One time the politician asked "Professor, do you know how to swim?" Professor; No please!     Politician; what a shame! Even a dog is better than you , because for it can swim !        Professor;Okay. Do you know how to swim?  Politician; Yes of course!   Professor; Then what is difference between you and a dog?    Politician( in shame); Okay let's talk sense now. If you are presented two things now, money and wisdom, which one would you choose?       Professor; Obviously money.      Politician; I wonder how you became a professor!! Don't you know it's wisdom that makes money! Definitely , you had to choose wisdom!!         Professor; Obviously, we choos...

Its our decisions not our situations that control our lives and destiny. Bob Marley said " Some people dance in rain, others just get wet".   We make our habits, and then the habits make us. What we repeatedly do makes our destiny that creates a reality. I am where I am because of what I believe is possible for me! Why do you have a smart phone? Who do you want to become? What do you need to have? Why are you doing that course? The first step in determining our future, is to "begin with the end in mind".   How many people have degrees but are of no use to them? If we don't define our character before the achievement, the achievement destroys who we are! At what time are you going to wake up tomorrow? If you know that's good. If you don't know , learn this. Value every minute of your life. What is the most important thing can I do with my life today, tomorrow, or next month? I think and therefore I become. If I fail to master myself, I will be a slave of ...
