Success - the most wanted need, for every person in life. To be successful in life, you must be clear about what success is. But however many are not able to taste the fruit of success. In order to taste the fruit of success, you must clarify your values and goals, and understand that success is not just about hard work and no play. Taking control of success in your life will be always in our hands i.e. the way in which we plan and do our things. Here are the crucial principles which you need to follow to take control of your success.

1. Clarity: Eighty percent of success comes from being clear on what you want to achieve and how you are goanna do it. When you are clear about your goal then it’s easy to achieve success.

2. Concentration: The ability to focus on one thing single mindedly and see it through until it is done takes more character than anything else.

3. Creativity: Winners don’t do different things; rather they do the ordinary things in a different way. So fill your life with many ideas from many sources. Creativity needs to be exercised like a muscle. If you don’t use it you will lose it.

4. Competence: You cannot climb to the next rung on the ladder until you are excellent at what you do now. Try to give your best at whatever you do in your life / career.

5. Continuous Learning: Try to read at least one book every ten days, regarding the work you do. This helps you to keep ahead of the competition. Organize your time so that you can spend at least thirty minutes a day surfing useful sites, because it’s the only way you can keep abreast of technology. If you get away from developments you’ll lose your edge.

6. Courage: Most in demand and less in supply for most of us. Courage is the willingness to do the things you know are right. So be courageous to take better decisions in every aspect of your life.

7. Constraints: Almost all the obstacles of success come from within. Identify the constraint that’s standing in your way to success and deal with it.

Whatever you do, wherever you go – you will be a winner if you think differently – and be different! You can begin being different when you are in high school, when you’re in college or when you have begun working. Some of us are born with a ‘questioning mind’ and may end up with an attitude of destructive disobedience – to the great dismay of our parents, teachers and bosses! Others among us are also born with a questioning mind but with an attitude of ‘constructive disobedience.’ They are found welcome in the corporate world and are often encouraged by progressive organization to become ‘intrapreneurs.’ That is – act as if they are independent entrepreneurs (or businessmen) but work within the boundaries of the organization.

When you look around you there are so many things that could be different, better, perhaps cheaper. I read in the Times of India some time back about a US scientist who had used corn residues to develop a novel packaging film that could destroy Listeria monocytogene, a rod shaped bacterium that causes food poisoning in animals and humans. It is a biodegradable poly acid (PLA) film, from a renewable material. What a fantastic idea. Why didn’t anyone think of this before? It is because Tony Jin of the US Department of Agriculture in Pennsylvania thought differently – and thus made a difference to the US and to the world.

And of course, there is a time and place for all new ideas. Many ideas are before their time and therefore, do no create an impact. These new ideas must find fertile ground, so that the seeds will germinate and sprout and grow into plants. Would Amazon.com or E Bay or Naukri.com or Shaadi.com have been a success, fifteen or even ten years ago, who knows – but it is unlikely. It needed a certain population of computers; and a certain population with a receptive mind set – to enable them to be a big success. These were great ideas, which are delivered to us in palatable packaging just as we are hungry for them.

However, this may be as a ‘tipping point’ it pays to think differently – and be different even if eight seeds fall on arable land and only two ideas succeed and change either the immediate environment; the community, country and sometimes, the world.

Laugh as much as you can because it is actually a blessing. All people in this world have the ability to laugh. All idiots and cruel people also will laugh but in a brutal way. Once think why God has created Mosquito. He created them as cruel insects who will survive by drinking the blood of human beings and other animals.

But think once for a while. Who are actually these mosquitoes? Mosquitoes are the small insects created by God with lots and lots of love. They are not cruel at all. If you think once you will understand that Man is crueler beings. God only asked Mosquitoes to drink blood. The secret of creation is a big secret. That I will share with you now.

At the time of creation, God advised all Mosquitoes to go and drink as much as blood it want from the Man and Woman. If you think from the Mosquito point of view, these are the people which are created for their survival. God was so much interested about them and he told them, “If you want a change, you can also drink from other animals as well but be careful while you sit on their face as they may catch you with their tongue.” He also told them, “See, when you approach human beings please be careful; I have given a silent order to beat and kill you. That is the reason why I have created you without bones so when they beat you with their hands they will not feel pain. So when they raise their hands you suddenly start flying. That is the reason why I have given small wings to you. Did you notice one thing? I didn’t give wings to those human beings so that they will not fly after you when you escape. ”

“Dear Mosquitoes see with how much love I am taking care of you. So you fly to them, drink their blood and live happily.”

Is this the history of Mosquitoes? I don’t know actually but if you think once you will also feel the same.

To think creatively, we must be able to look afresh at what we normally take for granted.- George Kneller

Friends warned me against it. But, still…..

The movie “Kites” was released two months back on May 21^st. The film was released in India and in North America. Its 208-theater opening in North America made it the largest Bollywood release there. There were lots of promotional programmes but still it was rejected by movie buffs in India who found their high expectations dashed. They say the story was bad, had problems in understanding three languages, confusing as there was a continuous flip from flashback to present.

Toronto Star, San Francisco Chronicle, Philadelphia Inquirer, Village Voice, Los Angeles Times-these are the renounced newspapers in the USA and UK which praised the movie. They say “the film Kites had an optimum mix of romance, entertainment, thrill, melodrama and action. The love between Barbara Mori and Hrithik Roshan is depicted so well in the movie; the chemistry between both the actors came out with so much perfection that feels like falling in love all over again. The film moves ahead in flashbacks which are mixed up smoothly. The Cinematography is excellent; the movie was well received by critics and normal theater goers equally and became one of the most reviewed Bollywood film. Kites’ music and action scenes have also been appreciated by the viewers. Kites controversy created hype together with the promotion added to the curiosity of the movie.

So what went wrong with Indian public? Yes, it is an “old-style Hollywood romance in modern dress”. But it had a target audience too. People are educated now with a good knowledge of English. India is developing country with increasing urban population and education, which means more number of people are “eligible” for the movie. Secondly, it’s the first time ever when Bollywood has succeeded in making a movie that is of International standards, which can be watched by audiences all across the globe. In the new age of Globalization, it’s an initiative to bring all the cinema kingdoms from different parts of the world to a common platform and assimilate and enjoy the differences. A Special applause for the makers of the ‘Kites’, as they have just created a movie, which India can proudly say- it is an Indian movie for the global audiences. After Kites, many Hollywood biggies like Tom Cruise want to act in Bollywood. It has made the World to recognize the potential and talents in Bollywood. Thirdly, it is basically not “typical Masala Bollywood Movie”, but I think its time that people upgrade their mind sets to accept something honest and original. People have accepted the new changes in Bollywood, so why not appreciate “the same in different way”. Last but definitely not the least, there exists a syndrome among people called “Herd syndrome”. If one says it is not a good movie, others follow, even without feeling the same for it. Let us have our own perspective and not copy from others. We need to look ahead and not pull back innovations with orthodox ideas. If not say “a good movie”, at least say a “good initiative”.

Sometimes mistakes are good; teaches good things….thinking to go for “Raavan” this weekend….what say???? J

Tanushree Das, pgdm XVIII Batch

Swami Vivekananda, one of the greatest thinkers of all the times, is well known for his inspiring teachings. He made the presence of India felt in the Chicago conference in 1893 by his eloquent and exhilarating speech. His teachings can certainly infuse a new direction to our life making it more successful and lively. Here are few of his quotes:

1. Love Is The Law Of Life: All love is expansion, all selfishness is contraction. Love is therefore the only law of life. He who loves lives, he who is selfish is dying. Therefore, love for love's sake, because it is law of life, just as you breathe to live.

2. It’s Your Outlook That Matters: It is our own mental attitude, which makes the world what it is for us. Our thoughts make things beautiful, our thoughts make things ugly. The whole world is in our own minds. Learn to see things in the proper light.

3. Life is Beautiful: First, believe in this world - that there is meaning behind everything. Everything in the world is good, is holy and beautiful. If you see something evil, think that you do not understand it in the right light. Throw the burden on yourselves!

4. It's The Way You Feel: Feel like Christ and you will be a Christ; feel like Buddha and you will be a Buddha. It is feeling that is the life, the strength, the vitality, without which no amount of intellectual activity can reach God.
5. Set Yourself Free: The moment I have realised God sitting in the temple of every human body, the moment I stand in reverence before every human being and see God in him - that moment I am free from bondage, everything that binds vanishes, and I am free.

6. Don't Play The Blame Game: Condemn none: if you can stretch out a helping hand, do so. If you cannot, fold your hands, bless your brothers, and let them go their own way.

7. Help Others: If money helps a man to do good to others, it is of some value; but if not, it is simply a mass of evil, and the sooner it is got rid of, the better.

8. Uphold Your Ideals: Our duty is to encourage every one in his struggle to live up to his own highest idea, and strive at the same time to make the ideal as near as possible to the Truth.

9. Listen To Your Soul: You have to grow from the inside out. None can teach you, none can make you spiritual. There is no other teacher but your own soul.

10. Be Yourself: The greatest religion is to be true to your own nature. Have faith in yourselves!

11. Nothing Is Impossible: Never think there is anything impossible for the soul. It is the greatest heresy to think so. If there is sin, this is the only sin - to say that you are weak, or others are weak.

12. You Have The Power: All the powers in the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark.

13. Learn Everyday: The goal of mankind is knowledge... now this knowledge is inherent in man. No knowledge comes from outside: it is all inside. What we say a man 'knows', should, in strict psychological language, be what he 'discovers' or 'unveils'; what man 'learns' is really what he discovers by taking the cover off his own soul, which is a mine of infinite knowledge.

14. Be Truthful: Everything can be sacrificed for truth, but truth cannot be sacrificed for anything

15. Think Different: All differences in this world are of degree, and not of kind, because oneness is the secret of everything.

To think is easy. To act is difficult. To act as one thinks is the most difficult.- Johann Wolfgang Von Goeth

India is among the least peaceful of major countries in the world and is getting even less peaceful year on year. This was the major finding of the Global Peace Index (GPI) Report an annual publication by the Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP), a global think tank focused on researching the relationship between economics, business and peace.

According to the 2010 report, which considered a range of peace-related variables among 149 countries, India’s rank was 128, six ranks lower than its 2009 position.

Some of India’s key neighbors in South Asia ranked in the bottom 20 per cent along with India Sri Lanka was ranked 133rd, Pakistan 145th, Afghanistan 147th. However, Nepal did much better, ranked in 82nd place and Bangladesh in 87th. Bhutan, ranked at 36th, narrowly missed being in the top 20 per cent of nations.

Hinting at the possibility that rapid development might have brought more conflict in its wake the IEP also noted, “Three BRIC countries — Russia (143), India (128) and China (80) — saw substantial declines in peacefulness.” However Brazil’s score remained essentially stable (83) compared to the 2009 Index.

While most developed countries including those of Western Europe and Canada, ranked in the top 20 per cent of peaceful nations, the United States was an anomaly in this regard, ranking at 85th, outranked by countries such as Rwanda, Indonesia, the United Arab Emirates and Bosnia and Herzegovina.

India also ranked 19th out of 25 countries in the Asia-Pacific region. The leader in the region, New Zealand, was also the most peaceful nation globally. Close on its heels were Iceland and Japan. Iraq was estimated to be the least peaceful among all countries, accompanied at the bottom of the table by Somalia, Afghanistan and Sudan.

The identification and weighting of indicators in the GPI, which is compiled by the Economist Intelligence Unit, was undertaken by an international panel of experts in the study of peace.
