Dreaming for dreams

Dream; an obvious source of all the achievements, decisive step for happiness, journey of enjoyment, booster for challenging persons; requires one’s practical nature in order to exhibit its real meaning.Learning is essentially the chemical change in man mind’s protein molecules. It doesn’t mean that one can learn more by having food that contains huge amount of protein ingredients. Instead, it is the chemical change, which decides actual knowledge. Obviously a meaningful dream is the positive catalyst for this chemical change. Good dreamer takes ‘learning’ as lifelong process.One-day dream, one-week dream, one-month dream and one-year dream can be the different forms of dream. All these together constitute the dream of life, which we take it as life ambition.One can get through a dream, which is relevant to only him successfully according to his schedule. A dream related to person and society asks patience. Dreamer gets defeated if he dreams blindly. Dream that is constructed using only one’s ability; desire and strategy will bring him sure success.Helen Keller who by birth was deaf, dumb and blind woman proved that dreams are not only for normal people but also for physically challenged persons. After learning a communicating course by name ‘TADOMA’ she wrote excellent books. She was awarded Honours Degree. Whole world is proud of her. (‘TADOMA’ course is used in recent Hindi movie ‘BLACK’ where Amitabh Bachchan teaches lessons to Rani Mukharjee. According to this course physically challenged person communicates with others by putting his fingers on the lips of speaker.)Few persons may not complete their dreams within right time due to many reasons though they have sufficient ability. After getting through his dream, if one is able to manage his time, if he is really interested and has strength, then he can bring the ocean of happiness to his well wishers by completing their dreams without disturbing their principles. Since human has nature of forgetting, it is better to begin or to complete the dreams of his well wishers on memorable moments like father’s dream on ‘FATHERS DAY’, mother’s dream on ‘MOTHERS DAY’, sister’s dream on ‘RAKSHA BANDHAN’ festival, brother’s dream on ‘DASARA’ festival and friend’s dream on ‘FRIENDSHIP DAY’. Otherwise he can follow his own schedule. If he feels that his strength has to be incremented yet, he can realize the happiness of ‘strenuous person’ by putting his ‘squirrel service’.For the people who are very eager to achieve something in life and don’t know that ‘something’ clearly, our ancients and old people have been saying that until and unless we get self confidence it is good to go on dreaming for dreams

Dont be a duck..Be an eagle

Dont be a duck..Be an eagleNo one can make you serve customers well. That`s because great service is a choice.Years ago, Harvey Mackay, (Business Motivational Speaker & Inspirational Quotes - Harvey Mackay)told a wonderful story about a cab driver that proved this point. Hewas waiting in line for a ride at the airport. When a cab pulled up,the first thing Harvey noticed was that the taxi was polished to abright shine. Smartly dressed in a white shirt, black tie, and freshlypressed black slacks, the cab driver jumped out and rounded the car toopen the back passenger door for Harvey. He handed him a laminated cardand said:`I`m Wally, your driver. While I`m loading your bags in the trunk I`dlike you to read my mission statement.` Taken aback, Harvey read thecard. It said:Wally`s Mission Statement:To get my customers to their destination in the quickest, safest and cheapest way possible in a friendly environment.This blew Harvey away. Especially when he noticed that the inside ofthe cab matched the outside. Spotlessly clean! As he slid behind thewheel, Wally said, `Would you like a cup of coffee? I have a thermos ofregular and one of decaf.`Harvey said jokingly, `No, I`d prefer a soft drink.`Wally smiled and said, `No problem. I have a cooler up front with regular and Diet Coke, water and orange juice.`Almost stuttering, Harvey said, `I`ll take a Diet Coke.`Handing him his drink, Wally said, `If you`d like something to read, Ihave The Wall Street Journal, Time, Sports Illustrated and USA Today.`As they were pulling away, Wally handed him another laminated card.`These are the stations I get and the music they play, if you`d like tolisten to the radio.`And as if that weren`t enough, Wally told Harvey that he had the airconditioning on and asked if the temperature was comfortable for him.Then he advised Harvey of the best route to his destination for thattime of day. He also let him know that he`d be happy to chat and tellhim about some of the sights or, if Harvey preferred, to leave him withhis own thoughts.`Tell me, Wally,` Harvey asked the driver, `have you always served customers like this?`Wally smiled into the rearview mirror. `No, not always. In fact, it’sonly been in the last two years. My first five years driving, I spentmost of my time complaining like all the rest of the cabbies do. Then I heard the personal growth guru, Wayne Dyer, on the radio oneday. He had just written a book called You`ll See It When You BelieveIt. Dyer said that if you get up in the morning expecting to have a badday, you`ll rarely disappoint yourself.He said, `Stop complaining! Differentiate yourself from yourcompetition. Don`t be a duck. Be an eagle. Ducks quack and complain.Eagles soar above the crowd.```That hit me right between the eyes,` said Wally. `Dyer was reallytalking about me. I was always quacking and complaining, so I decidedto change my attitude and become an eagle. I looked around at the othercabs and their drivers. The cabs were dirty, the drivers wereunfriendly, and the customers were unhappy. So I decided to make somechanges. I put in a few at a time. When my customers responded well, Idid more.``I take it that has paid off for you,` Harvey said. `It sure has,`Wally replied. `My first year as an eagle, I doubled my income from theprevious year. This year I`ll probably quadruple it. You were lucky toget me today. I don`t sit at cabstands anymore. My customers call mefor appointments on my cell phone or leave a message on my answeringmachine. If I can`t pick them up myself, I get a reliable cabbie friendto do it and I take a piece of the action.`Wally was phenomenal. He was running a limo service out of a Yellow Cab. Harvey probably told that story to more than fifty cab drivers over the years, and only two took the idea and ran with it. WheneverHarvey went to their cities, he would give them a call. The rest of the drivers quacked like ducks and told him all the reasons they couldn`t do any of what he was suggesting.Johnny the Bagger and Wally the Cab Driver made a different choice.They decided to stop quacking like ducks and start soaring like eagles.How about you? Apply it in your own businesses and homes and see the change around you.Where Eagles Dare

The Teacup!! - Smile

The TeacupThere was a couple who used to go to shop in the beautiful stores.. They both liked antiques and pottery and especially teacups. One day in this beautiful shop they saw a beautiful teacup. They said, "May we see that? We've never seen one quite so beautiful." As the lady handed it to them, suddenly the teacup spoke. "You don't understand," it said. "I haven't always been a teacup. There was a time when I was red and I was clay." My master took me and rolled me and patted me over and over and I yelled out, "let me alone", but he only smiled, "Not yet." "Then I was placed on a spinning wheel," the teacup said, "and suddenly I was spun around and around and around. Stop it! I'm getting dizzy!" I screamed. But the master only nodded and said, 'Not yet." Then he put me in the oven. I never felt such heat. I wondered why he wanted to burn me, and I yelled and knocked at the door. I could see him through the opening and I could read his lips as He shook his head, "Not yet." Finally the door opened, he put me on the shelf, and I began to cool. "There, that's better," I said. And he brushed and painted me all over. The fumes were horrible. I thought I would gag. "Stop it, stop it!" I cried. He only nodded, "Not yet." Then suddenly he put me back into the oven, not like the first one. This was twice as hot and I knew I would suffocate. I begged. I pleaded. I screamed. I cried. All the time I could see him through the opening nodding his head saying, "Not yet." Then I knew there wasn't any hope. I would never make it. I was ready to give up. But the door opened and he took me out and placed me on the shelf. One hour later he handed me a mirror and said, "Look at yourself." And I did. I said, "That's not me; that couldn't be me. It's beautiful. I'm beautiful." "I want you to remember," then, he said, "I know it hurts to be rolled and patted, but if I had left you alone, you'd have dried up. I know it made you dizzy to spin around on the wheel, but if I had stopped, you would have crumbled. I knew it hurt and was hot and disagreeable in the oven, but if I hadn't put you there, you would have cracked. I know the fumes were bad when I brushed and painted you all over, but if I hadn't done that, you never would have hardened; you would not have had any color in your life. And if I hadn't put you back in that second oven, you wouldn't survive for very long because the hardness would not have held. Now you are a finished product. You are what I had in mind when I first began with you."

The making of Brand SRK

There must be a lesson in it somewhere. A young man with average looks and no connections comes to Mumbai to be a film star and succeeds beyond any expectations. Along the way, he marries his childhood sweetheart, stays happily married, dotes on his kids, builds a house where he dreamed he would and still remains the nation's undiminished favourite two decades on. Everything he touches seems to turn to gold, whether it has to do with films, television or cricket. He promotes himself, the brands he endorses, the team he buys and the films he makes relentlessly and no one can still have enough of him. He has become better looking with time and actually grew six-pack at the age of forty. He speaks with a shrewd combination of arrogance and disarming self-deprecation and never descends to being the caricature some celebrities become. No one calls him a great actor; he plays himself or more accurately plays Shah Rukh Khan playing the character in most films and again that is what people seem to want. Shah Rukh Khan strikes a chord with us in some deep unique way. He captures the spirit of the times effortlessly and plays it back to us in a compelling way. He is the mainstream hero who makes us feel good about ourselves. He makes us want to do more, lead a better life by showing us that it can not only be done, but enjoyed without paying any major price. You can have fame, fortune, success, a happy family; you can have it all. And it is easy.
Shah Rukh Khan is the market. He does not merely use market forces, he embodies them. He represents the market's best foot forward, he exemplifies what the market can do for us. He is a giant shining billboard for the market where glitter co-exists with good times and fame sits well with family. He sits so effortlessly with business because he makes it look good. We are seduced by his charm into wanting and buying. The market persona has been constructed, even if unconsciously out of all elements available to him. The roles he has played, especially the Raj/Rahul persona that made him a superstar were evangelists for modernity. In films like DDLJ, DTPH, Mohabattein and to a lesser extent, Pardes, he played the Pied Piper of modernity, showing us how the modern was nothing but a distillation of the traditional. Raj in DDLJ tells us how desire in its purest form can melt all forces of the past. In Mohabattein, his character is even more naked in his espousal of individual desire and it is fitting that he takes over from Amitabh Bachchan as the principal, signifying that the present has subsumed the past and is its legitimate representative. By dismantling the restrictive confines of the past, the individual is rendered free to seek definition through his desires. Even in off-beat roles exploring the darker side of desire, it is notable that his characters no larger try for legitimacy than the intensity of desire itself. In Baazigar the desire for revenge made him worse than his enemy and in Darr and Anjaam, the desire has no larger justification whatsoever. The individual in this films is driven because of desire and the audience is recruited to cheer. The recent roles of Shah Rukh have now evolved into a comfortable representation of the market. Om Shanti Om is the celebration of a market where the past is no longer a time, but a look. The individual is sufficiently detached from the past so as to be able to play with it. The past can be bought now as a shirt, then again as a hair style. If Amitabh Bachchan's Vijay was an individual seething in an effort to become one under the crushing weight of failed father figures, Shah Rukh's Rahul has rendered himself free of the past and lives in what someone has called an ever present. Add to this, his real life story and persona and you have a compelling portrait of man-as-market. Bereft of ideology, lacking a centre or core, brand SRK is the distillation of all that we want to be projected on the 70 mm screen called Shah Rukh Khan. Shah Rukh does not merely advertise brands, he is the best advertisement for where it all comes from the market.

Improve Your Personality

Improve Your Personality

Be Objective and Realistic
Self-confidence, as we seen, is the source of strength and the secret of success. We have, therefore, been examining at some length how one could acquire self confidence and continuously increase it, initially by conscious efforts and thereafter as a matter of routine. Inferiority complex is the chief enemy of self-confidence. This snaps one’s energy, creates serious doubts about one’s strength and capacity and tenders one different, cautious, backward and inactive.

LUCK

LUCK

He worked by day
And toiled by night.
He gave up play
And some delight.
Dry books he read,
New things to learn.
And forged ahead,
Success to earn.
He plodded on with
Faith and pluck;
And when he won,
Men called it luck.
