Amazing trip to Chikmagalur

Kemmangundi is one of the most beautiful place in Karnataka, around 260 k.m. from Bangalore . It was a wonderful trip and we all had great time there. The other places we covered in the trip were Mullayyanagiri and Shringeri.

Actions speaks louder ...

" Never wait for the proper mood to start a thing, nor until the spirit moves you. Make your own mood. Make your own spirit. How? ACT. Do something – anything. Inspiration seldom generates action. Action always creates inspiration. "

Mantra for great work(s)

" Of all great works, nine-tenths must be drudgery. Edison put it at 99%. Edmund Burke worked 22 hours at one stretch on one speech ... pure drudgery. Kepler filled 600 pages with figures to learn the skies … all drudgery. Genius and talents may start great projects, but only drudgery can finish them. "

-Russell Conwell

Answer(s) for success ...

" Let no sleep fall upon your eyes until you’ve reviewed the acts of the day. What did I forget or do wrong? Think up a way to avoid it in the future. What more could I have done or done better? Asking questions of yourself impels you to think for the answers. "

Quote of the Day !! Attitude

"Our attitudes control our lives. Attitudes are a secret power working twenty-four hours a day, for good or bad. It is of paramount importance that we know how to harness and control this great force".

Why Be Great ?

Source : Robin's Blog

Sure it takes effort/discipline and gigantic focus to get to world-class (and live your greatest life). Sure leadership is about doing what's right versus easy. And I agree that success requires sacrifices. So why do it? Because it'll make you feel good. Which makes it all worth it.

The big idea: playing below your potential makes you feel bad about yourself. Operating below your potential diminishes your self-respect. Limiting what you can do/be/have sucks the energy out of your spirit and knocks the passion out of your heart.

Climbing your personal and professional mountaintop makes you feel good about yourself. Boost your self-respect. Heighten your self-image. Fills you with energy and faith. And joy.

Achievement and getting superb things done with the gifts that are within you is one of the best ways to fill your life with more happiness.

Being great - even when it's not easy to do so - is a brilliant move. That yields handsome rewards. Always.

Your Quest for Success !!

By : Joel Weldon

Remember the children's story of "The Little Red Hen?" The Hen found a grain of wheat (opportunity) and decided to make bread (success). She then proceeded to take the proper steps to plan and prepare for her desired result. She planted the grain, tended, watered, and harvested it. She took the wheat to the mill to be ground into flour. She made the dough, let it rise, and, finally, put it in the oven to bake. At each step in the process, she asked her neighbours, "who would like to help me . . . ?" And, each time they responded, "Not I!"

Finally, the bread was ready. She set it on the window sill to cool and its sweet scent floated up and down the street. "And now," she said, "who will help me eat the bread?" All her neighbours responded enthusiastically, "I will!"

"No," said the little red hen, "I will eat it myself." And she did.

We may think the hen was rather harsh in not sharing the bread with her friends. But, in reality, no one can give you success. No one can do the preparation, planning, and the work for you. If we are to achieve true excellence, we must take responsibility for our own success and do the work to make it happen. Here are four steps to help each of us in our quest for success.

Plan - The old saying is still true, "if you don't know where you're going, you'll probably end up somewhere else." No one can effectively achieve an objective that he or she doesn't have clearly defined. Think things through. Decide what you want, and write out your plan. Only then can you do as Dr. Stephen R. Covey suggests, "begin with the end in mind."

Prepare - We all know things that we could be doing right now to prepare ourselves to reach our objectives. Study, practice, take a class, exercise, listen to tapes, nurture a relationship, read that book. The important thing is to do something today that will make the path smoother tomorrow.

Perform - David Schwartz made this simple but profound statement, "the only way to start, is to start." The simple fact is that the best laid plans, the most comprehensive preparation, can still lead to nothing unless we take action. It doesn't have to be perfect. Dr. Norman Vincent Peale observed, "If you put off everything until you're sure of it, you'll get nothing done." Nike has the right idea in their simple slogan, "Do it!

Persist - Will we have adversity? Yes! Challenges? Of course! The difference between the successful person and the one stalked by failure is not the adversity -- we all have that. The difference is your response. Do we regroup and hit it hard again, or do we lie down and quit? Setbacks can be the foundation upon which we build future success or the final excuse for failure -- the decision is yours.
