Fauja Singh – 101 year Old still running Marathons !!

Image
Many lesson we can learn from Fauja Singh he is 101 year old and runs marathons!! On 22 July 2012 he got the loudest cheer when Fauja Singh  carried the Olympic 2012 torch in London. He started to run at the age of  81!! And now his wish is to carry the Olympic torch during 2016 and he will be 105 year old then. If our waist size grows in an uncontrolled ratio then it is time to put some discipline in life. If you see a man with 6 months pregnant woman belly size then your judgement is correct life is too busy with less physical exercise. "To  make money  we  lose  our  health , and then to restore our  health  we  lose  our money"   London Olympic 2012 is here; let us keep the sporting spirit alive within us!! 

Pocket Note

Image
Carrying a pocket note (Small note which can fit into your pock) is a good idea. It can do lot of things. Every day we come across lot of things   New Idea   Books name Website name Things to do Plan for the future The very small stuff are easy to forget, if we carry a small note (may be on the smart device) to keep note of important things it really help us to do big things!!

Lesson from Roger Federer -Wimbledon 2012

Image
Wimbledon 2012 was Roger Federer seventh title in  Wimbledon   !! . After wining the game he gave the interview. Question: Today new papers highlighted the importance of wining the game for you today and put more pressure on you. Roger Federer replied “Honestly speaking I have not read the news paper today!!!” What we consume every day is important. What we  read on news paper , watch TV … etc. Roger Federer stayed focused on his game. Not worried about what the world is writing about him. No wonder he rank world # 1 today and got 17 Grand Slam on his bag (as on 15-07-2012).

Are we running the extra mile?

Image
During my School days I got selected to play for my district football team, for category under 12 years old. Government call this team as “Catch Them Young “. Every day practice starts at 5PM .Warm up will go for 45 min, then the game for another 45-60 min. After 1.5 Hr you will be fully tired and you can see the sweating all over the body. This is the time every day your body refuse to take another step. You will be worn out fully. One of my friend use to work out extra during this time. He uses to run extra miles. We all stopped our football career at district level. But he moved to state level! “A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work” -Colin Powell Are we running the extra mile?

What we are leaving behind?

Image
In my apartment garden I got a small BALSAM plant, which use to give beautiful flowers. But it died too soon. One thing I did is I carefully collect all its seed and use to put that on a different pot. Now the new young plant is started flowering!! An old Chine saying is goes like this…. A man/woman has to do two things in life before he leave this earth He/she need to plant a tree and He /she has to write a book What we are leaving behind us?

Are you a (Corporate) Shepherd?

Image
Few days back I saw a Shepherd crossing the road with around 50 sheep’s.And he was carrying one sheep not smaller one but bigger one along with him. The sheep might not well. He gives more attention especially when his sheep is weak.The m eaning of Shepherd : A man employed in tending, feeding and guarding. As a leader are we doing this ? • Are you keeping an eye and continuous monitoring system to tackle risk? • If you are not there, did you have the second layer of leaders to take your company and to take forward? • When the client is on the firing end, are you coming forward and taking the responsibility? • Are you a mentor? Having the time / schedule to keep your team, to focus toward the mission statement of your organization. What is your take on this?

Early lessons for the kids

Image
Tree needs a good place to grow. Closely watch in the early period on what area your kid show more interest. Help them to grow on that area. While growing focus is important; make sure they do not get distracted. Spend enough quality time to shape his/her feature. Jawaharlal Nehru writes about world history to young Indra Gandhi when he was in prison. How it might have influence on young Gandhi!! School is the place where our children spend most of the time while growing. Choose a school which give equal important to sports and academy. Did you watch I have given sports the first place? Sports teach you how to handle success and failure. And it is very important that the kids learn this lesson during his/her early days. This helps to have a solid foundation. As C N Anna Durai said “You need to have a heart to handle any thing”. Let music be part of there life. In life journey they can share joy and sorrow in wind, rhythm or string form. Believe me knowing to play any one or mor...

Silent Spectators

Image
This fish(s) are living with us nearly a year now!! .They are the silent spectators in our home. Watching slowly all the activity around them without making any noise. Some time I use to think .Their life is around in a small glass bowl of water. Their boundaries are restricted forcefully. But still they are helping us!! When my son cry   (all kids use this emotional blackmail J ) and ask for things which is not to be used for playing .To avoid few   situation like this .We take him near to this bowl and show the fish and divert his attention. This tiny creature moves here and there and diverts his attention.Slowly his angry face fade away J . In our walk of life, help come from many ways.We should be very much thankful for that  . .

Each day is a miniature of our life

Image
I read this line recently “Each day is a miniature of our life “ .Each day add up to week ,Weeks add up to month and months add up to years. Each day if we live without any meaning and purpose and days moves just like that.Then end of the life we need to regret for a half lived life   !! “Spring has past, summer has gone and winter is here.  And the song that I meant to sing remains unsung”.

If You are Right .....

Image
I like this quote from bible With the weakest people I will defeat the strongest . If you are on the right side do not bow down to anyone. Even some one can open their third eye  A MISTAKE IS A MISTAKE.   You cannot be truthful if you are not courageous. You cannot be loving if you are not courageous. You cannot be trusting if you are not courageous. You cannot enter into reality if you are not courageous. Hence courage comes first... and everything else follows.”   -Osho

Watch Yourself When You Speak !!

Woke up with a double mind whether to go to office are not .The long waited Ayodhya Verdict will be pronounced today  Later decided to work from home!!

Bharat Bandh July 5 2010

Image
Bharat Bandh = Leave on Monday & Work on Saturday  How many times in this country a Bandh called for to solve Unemployment, good health & living condition , 24 X 7 electricity, Proper drinking water ,Good transport system. Is the poor man  not affected from this?? Shutting down the country and not allowing people to work do not solve any problem. “Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.” - by Unknown .

I'm sick

Image
I’m Sick !! The monsoon is back , drop in mercury level , lot of travel & work if you mix all this altogether = I’m sick !! Falling in SICK is like a speed breaker break in life. It slows down your pace. As your physical and mental energy level is low , which will not allow you to do your routine work as normal which is good in one way. So what I’m doing .... Walking here and there inside the home Reading few books Thinking slowly and clearly Hope the battery level will come to normal on Monday !! .

All problems seem to be simple only when we find the solution, with cool thinking

Read this problem interesting  how they have identified the issue and fixed the bug ‘This is the second time I have written to you, and I don’t blame you for not answering me, because I sounded crazy, but it is a fact that we have a tradition in our family of Ice-Cream for dessert after dinner each night, but the kind of ice cream varies so, every night, after we’ve eaten, the whole family votes on which kind of ice cream we should have and I drive down to the store to get it. It’s also a fact that I recently purchased a new Pontiac and since then my trips to the store have created a problem. You see, every time I buy a vanilla ice cream, when I start back from the store my car won’t start. If I get any other kind of ice cream, the car starts just fine. I want you to know I’m serious about this question, no matter how silly it sounds “What is there about a Pontiac that makes it not start when I get vanilla ice cream, and easy to start whenever I get any other kind?” The ...
