Inspiration 101

CONFIDENCE

Once, all the village people decided to pray for rain.On the day of prayer all people gathered and only one boy came with an Umbrella,that's Confidence ***

TRUST

Trust should be like the feeling of a one year old baby who when thrown in the air,laughs......because he knows you will catch him;that's Trust***

HOPE

Every night we go to bed,we have no assurance to get up alive in the next morning but still you have plans for the coming day ;that's Hope***

Have Confidence=believe in yourself especially when no one does

TRUST=Trust in God and live your faith

Hope=Keep the torch of hope or candle flicker of hope burning,amidst storms of doubt and challenges

Only one traveller down this path

Over the weekend,I was fortunate to attend a Network Marketing conference.A story by a successful Mexican couple.The woman related a story of how prisoners of war were subjected to a slow death in two ways.One way,involves blindfolding the prisoner,then cutting his wrists and letting blood flow out until he died.This would be done to the first group while allowing the other prisoners to watch.Then the second group would be blindfolded.Then their wrists would be cut.The cut would be painful,but not enough to bleed.Then water would be let to make a dripping sound and sensation.Then after the same amount of time,the prisoners would die.They would not be bleeding,but because they believed they were they died.They believed so much they gave up on their systems,and almost summoned their systems to stop functioning.This is a powerful image.Like Henry Ford said If you think you can do a thing or think you can't do a thing, you're right.This entry also comes in light of comments from those close to me subtly telling me not to dream.Comments and responses that say its too risky,that I will not be necessarily happy for seeking my dreams.My dreams of financial freedom.My dream of spending more time with my loved ones.My dream of learning one language a year.My dream of removing all financial barriers to dictating what I do today,and with whom I do it with.To those people,they dont know me at all.And I thank them for sparking the flame,blazing ever more so strongly.The fire burning now is more consuming,more encompassing.Its raging withing me. !! Invictus !!

A little sleep,a little slumber...

Yesterday,I had been listening to a video from youtube about The Secret (again):).Well,I was listening to the basic steps of getting the Law of Attraction to work in my life.The instructions and steps were easy and one thing I would say would wrap them all up is consistency.Today,however,Im not feeling all that consistent.My friends and I spent last night at an informal gettogether/house party involving impromptu cooking and loud music.Therefore Im feeling groggy at 11am.However,Im lucky because I actually had my 8 hours of sleep.Well,I struggle with getting up sometimes;)However over-sleeping wont get me far at all.The bible says it,wisdom says it.In fact waking up at dawn allows a person to start the day freshly.To start the day having seen dawn,felt the breeze of morning air and the crispness definitely is a self-starter.So my next goal is to spring put of bed.Im on my pursuit of happyness,Im on my way to living The Secret.I leave you with some steps to being successful at pursuing and achieving goals and dreams.

Step 1:Decide to get rich
This is deemed to be the one important and key step.When you decide to get rich you shift gears out of neutral,and this is really getting rid of any inertia in your life.Remember making no decision,is making a decision in itself.
Step 2:Visualise the life you want:
Close your eyes every morning when you wake up and night before you sleep to imagine the lifestyle you want.This programs your unconscious mind to come up with solutions,and seeing things in your environment that are opportunities.
Step 3:Study Getting Rich
Read books on how to get rich,how to develop your finances etc
Step 4:Associate with already successful and rich people
This is called networking.Figure out how to get into their circle of influence.Read their books,attend their seminars.Fly first class every once in a while,join the country club.Hang out around them then you will start to learn to think like them.Someone put it another way and said,hang out with above-average people.

All the above steps Jack Canfield discusses in details.Here is the presentation here:

What is in a word?

There is a new addition of words in Merriam-Webster's Collegiate® Dictionary, Eleventh Edition.This has got my attention.This inclusion is indicative of the evolution of the English language according to ¨environmental¨ influence of information sources and their targets.However,this environment is not global.These environmental changes are due to socio-political and economical changes.The types words and whether they get considered for the position in the dictionary depends on( you´ve guessed it)who uses the words and how they are communicated.Well according to the dictionary editors they actually follow a thorough investigative process.Check out the process.

Therefore a medium like the internet as well other global communication networks plus social evolutions amplify the use and frequent apperance of a word.Im sure you will agree that its no suprise that sudoku and speed-dating have made the list.The other interesting observation about the merriam webster online dictionary is that it offers audio pronounciations.To this, it claims that if there are several ways of pronouncing a word,then there are no right or wrong ways to do so.Now I read this morning about how Angelina Jolie´s partner, Brad Pitt doesnt understand the attention towards him and his looks.He insisted he is ¨pretty banal¨(Modest guy,huh:)).That was so amusing to read,I had to listen to the pronounciation on Merriam Webster,and imagine which pronounciation he used:)

Due Diligence

The ways in which employers gather background information is reflective of our times,of the period we live in...the information age.Therefore these methods are nothing but conventional.Employers gather all sorts of information about potential employees off social networks and other online niches wherein people find themselves in for whatever reason.The amount of personal information added on multiple websites by individuals is staggering.The other side of the coin is how all this information can be easily accessed from various sources to form whatever impression about an individual.According to the article from the link pasted below,employers and head hunters are going out of their way to get to know their future members of organizations...I hope they discover the same person who is sitting in front of them in the interview room.

The other questions is whether this is a fair method of recruiting.Can this be unbiased?Depending on the type and level of job,references usually come from other similar environments.These are usually former coleagues and managers from previous jobs.
