The lesson from my father............. surviving failure

I was a below average student..... used to get very less scores. It was always my dad always with me encouraging to try harder for better. He directed my energy by learning from past mistakes. It managed to increase my grades and also made me great at survivorship.

There is a Nike commercial,starred by Micheal Jordan where he says : "I fail over and over and over again in my life..... that is why I succeed". Have a look...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45mMioJ5szc

Soichiro Honda said:

Success represents the 1% of your work which results from 99% that is called failure.

Its my father who made me believe that failure is not result of the mistakes we make but it is result of how we respond to our mistakes. When we succumb to a failure our vision gets blocked and dreams get vaporised. When we live upto a failure positively our confidence level increases in dealing with any horror that may come further.

Failure can refine us when we do not allow it to define us.

Thnks dad................

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY

Tuning Attitude.............

William James once said: "The greatest discovery of any generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering the attitude."
    What basically is attitude? Its simply the way we react to different issues of life. A positive attitude or a right attitude can make a situation more profitable or can lessen the loss as the case may be.
Our attitudes can be result of our past experiences, of people who play big or small roles in our lives or because of our particular personality. But one thing is sure guys, no one was born with an attitude. Its only with time that we develop it. Which further means we all can moniter and change our attitudes.
If we compare our lives with an agricultural land we can say the 'positive attitude' are the 'crops' we reap for our profit, and the 'weeds' are the 'negative attitude' that can cause loss to us. As we need grow more crops and remove more of weeds to maximize profit, same can be compared with our 'attitude' in life as well.

One step further......the way we make efforts to grow crops on the land to get good results and even take care of them, same is the case with 'positive attitude' in our mind. Unlike weeds which grow by default, can be compared with 'negative attitude' in mind, to which none of us are permanently immuned and most of the times comes naturally from the society. Moreover they have deep roots as well....

Likewise, we need to make efforts to process and tune our minds to 'positive' and eradicate the weeds of 'negative',. It is an ongoing process without any end for anyone of us.

This post is not just about what I think, if any one has views similar or contrary to it,you are most welcome to share............

The Right Attitude.......

Hi guys, I am starting this blog today by posting a million dollar question that life throws at us............ 'What attitude you have towards me' ?

They say that we need to have a 'shock absorber' attitude towards life. They mean we need to remain steady in every stuff that life throws on us. The more shock resistant we are the more success we have, means directly proportional.
So, is it that having positive attitude the sure shot way to achieve success? or why we need to take attitude topic so seriously?
I have one comparative situation to show the attitude effect: Suppose there was Mr. A who is going for a job interview but  had low self esteem, visualizes that he will not get the job and on that day of interview he actually tends to make it happen as well. Another was Mr. b who was positive about getting job , was confident on the day of interview and surely again made it happen what visualized, he got the job.

I would say that having a right attitude not always gives us instant success, but surely is the foundation for the success.  Its the basic step which cannot be avoided.  Right attitude gives us right belief, that we can succeed. If we give defeat chance to enter our mind, it can convert thought process to negative, same goes well with triumph.......

Lastly, no one is immuned to negatives of life and also no one is born with positive attitude. In that case, we all can have a continuous Right Attitude learning and strengthening process in our lives. Books, associations or anything positive helps us in that.
