Be Proactive!


Welcome Back!

George Bernard Shaw classified people in 3 different categories:

  • Those who make things happen
  • Those who observe what happens
  • Those who wondered what happened
We are in a century where you cannot afford to observe and wonder. You must make things happen.

Those who make things happen are called "proactive". They do not react to whatever is happening around. They are not reactive, they are proactive - they make things happen.

When you react, you permit others to react to influence your decisions. When you are proactive, you depend on your own skills, knowledge, talent and experience. In the absence of these resources, you cannot be proactive. Remember that you would soon be on your own be ready for it.

Some Tips:
  • Take charge of your own destiny. Do not let others shape your destiny.
  • Change before you are forced to.
  • A friend is an answer to your needs. Consciously create a network of friends. Give and take help.
  • Be innovative and creative. Do things differently. Practice "out of the box thinking.
  • Never compromise your credibility.
  • Learn to say 'No'.
  • You would be surrounded by competitors and to forge ahead, try to think ahead of them.
  • Learn to distinguish between useful information and true knowledge.
  • Throw away what is not useful and irrelevant.
  • Take the responsibility of your decisions.
  • Lastly, try to improve yourself on daily basis. Try to learn new things everyday.
Thought of the day:

“The proactive approach to a mistake is to acknowledge it instantly, correct and learn from it.“

'Today' is his ๐ŸŽ unto you

Welcome back ๐Ÿ˜€ ! Have you ever wondered why people like handmade gifts above all other gifts? The answer to this question is simple - You/They recognise the heart behind the gift and that makes the gift priceless . "A gift is not a material, but an outlook - to look out at the heart behind the material." -Mahatria Rฤ Even if the present is just a handmade flower or a greeting card, it would be one of the best gifts you would have ever got. Similarly , Education becomes a gift when you recognise the heart of the teachers who transfer their knowledge unto you . Your childhood becomes a gift when you recognise the heart of your parents in the upbringing. Friends become a gift when they stand by you not only in your good times but also in your tough times. Life becomes a gift when you realise its preciousness and its importance. In that sense, "Today" becomes an eternal gift . Always keep in mind that you may not live to see the "Tomorrow"...

Excellence is Self-Explanatory

Welcome Back! We usually find ourselves giving justifications or explanations about something every other day. Don't we? For Example: You wanted to wake up at 6:00 AM. But instead, you wake up at 6:10 AM.  Your goal was to make 40 lakhs but you made only 39. You appointment was at 4:00 PM but you turned up at 4:15 PM. You got 4 marks less than your target in an examination. In all these cases, there is a similarity - You fall short of your targets. You may need to provide justification and explanations regarding your actions in these cases . Sometimes, you may even argue. Normally , you have a tendency to explain, justify, reason and rationalise what's not okay as okay.We try our best to prove that something is okay even if it is not . This presses the self-destruction button of your life. Time and again, this lack of excellence will hurt you very badly in your life and hamper your goals. You will fall short of your target. Ultimately , you will not be a...
