Stress...............................? Laugh More, Stress Less!

Stress is not what happens to us. It's our response TO what happens. And RESPONSE is something we can choose.- Maureen Killoran

READ THIS Small Story (I got it from a friend of mine)

A lecturer, when explaining stress management to an audience, raised a glass of water and asked, "how heavy is this glass of water?"

Answers called out ranged from 8oz. to 20oz. The lecturer replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it. If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance.

In each case, it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes." He continued, "And that's the way it is with stress management. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on."

So whatever burdens you're carrying now, let them down for a moment if you can. Relax; pick them up later after you've rested. Life is short. Enjoy it!

When you find yourself stressed, ask yourself one question: Will this matter in 5 years from now? If yes, then do something about the situation. If no, then let it go!

BIG Dreams Win……Great People Talk! Successful People Prove! Live to IT!

“Dream, Dream, Dream! Dreams transform into thoughts. And thoughts result in action” Even before I read this big success formula in APJ Abdul Kalam’s TheWings of Fire, I was on the way! The dreams I had were slowly transforming into thoughts..but!

Having big dreams is really great -people say! Great people talk about it! Successful people prove it! But why why why???? I asked a hundred times. Why do I lose everywhere? Why do I confront failures?? I was upset for a long time but at last I decided ‘I must go out of it’.   

Do you think I started to think in a different way then on? Yehh! I decided to learn something more from people. 

See it Here: I found a host of people who were fallen into slough before they could reach what they had been trying to attain.

Henry Ford: I read about him he even forgot to set reverse gear in the first car he made! After five unsuccessful attempts, he started the Ford Motor Company in 1903 and the rest is history!

Abraham Lincoln: Failed in business (age 21); defeated in a legislative race (age 22); failed again in business (age 24); death of his sweetheart (age 26); lost congressional race (age 34) and senatorial race (age 45); failed in an effort to become vice-president (age 47); lost again in a senatorial race (age 49); but ultimately he won. He was elected as the president of the US at age 52. So take failures as detour! Not an end to everything!

Soichiro Honda:  He was rejected by Toyota Motor Corporation in a job interview! He there after established the Honda Motor Co. Now look at the company’s brand message. We see it is written “The Power of Dreams”. (Do you have a great dream??? Go and Work on It! ;-) I compare my dream & my efforts to an artist who tries to bring a classic sculpture! So sometimes it may take time! But sure if you have an unyielding mind you will see the colour of success!

Bill Gates: You know this emperor & his empire!

And here comes a long list of famous people who failed initially, which includes Walt Disney, Albert Einstein, Isaac Newton, Socrates, Orville and Wilbur Wright, Winston Churchill, Charlie Chaplin, Marilyn Monroe, Steven Spielberg, J. K. Rowling, Ludwig van Beethoven etc.

What I learned Sometimes it may help you too: Now I understand my whys? Whats? Hows? and Wheres? With a CooL MIND, I learned Patience, Plans…hhahaahah…what not is there??? To win we need everything...!


Try to acquire what all you can. Never waste you time over trifle thoughts like how and what a good man should be. Instead just ‘be a good man’. Take steps cautiously. Never worry when fail.

Just Fail, fail, fail, fail…. But decide eventually you will WIN. This is all what I learned! Success never means absence of failures and it doesn’t mean that successful people never get disappointed or always kept worries aside when they lost. I believe it is natural and a must for next walks. In fact our worries, doubts and unfailing mind can go further and make another attempt.  So keep on moving! Live To our Dream!

Leonardo da Vinci

One of the Renaissance's greatest artists and thinkers, Leonardo da Vinci was born on April 15, 1452, in Florence, Italy. Besides painting the "Mona Lisa" and "The Last Supper," da Vinci also designed the first parachute.

This is one of my ever favorite quotes: 

"I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death."
-- Leonardo da Vinci

Hard to let old beliefs go???

It is hard to let old beliefs go. They are familiar. We are
comfortable with them and have spent years building systems
and developing habits that depend on them. Like a man who has
worn eyeglasses so long that he forgets he has them on, we
forget that the world looks to us the way it does because we
have become used to seeing it that way through a particular
set of lenses. Today, however, we need new lenses. And we need
to throw the old ones away.

    It is very common to kiss when people meet. This is a kiss on both cheeks. Men shake hands. People don't always kiss each other, for example in a business context.

Selfishness made us Fail to Live up to the Ideals of Humanism


Let it never be said by future generations that indifference,cynicism or selfishness made us fail to live up to the ideals of humanism which the Nobel Peace Prize encapsulates. Let the strivings of us all prove Martin Luther King Jr. to have been correct when he said that humanity can no longer be tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war

I THOUGHT: Why my dReaM is BrokeN. But its Not Yet

I share WHY MY DREAM is broKeN. Its broken for several reasons from which the first is so simple as we human are? Apart from this basic reason I could find some other reasons too. As long as we think Big or dream high, the frustration of failure will be following us. So the root cause of every problem is desire as it is said by Vivekanda. But when i think over my broken dreams i felt the very thought is no more valid or not good to think over as the time asks us to target on greater things. I know i am now a little deviating from the topic i started writing and i found this is the same reason why my dreams fail instead thriving to the realm I expect.

Jesus had a dream. Its nothing but love. But we know even Jesus was crucified for this. The broken dreams of Jesus, the futile wish of Gandhi and other great leaders of the world all bring me new thoughts on the Unfulfilled dreams of mine. The dreams I cherished in the good old days of my childhood as a toddler, my broken loves, relationships, the crushed dreams of formative years & Fships all here stand out pulling me to get into the doors. They cry out “should not speak of your dreams”.   I often ask “why” and they answer “should you need to hear the rest of the world singing on your broken dreams as you do even of Jesus Christ?"

MY wiSHes! My DreAms end on a sad note WHENEVER i  looK at the heap of BroKen dreams that my friends, Loved ones, colleagues and people around me bear till from BiRth to DeaTh! sO I feel leaving the thought of unreachable things is sometimes help us to be happy.

Just forget the wounds we suffered. Take the core of everything. Keep it for the next fight. That's life. Share you feelings and problems with the good ones. See the whole world as one. Lets be together irrespective of all other trifle things.

But the very thinking makes me seriously feel of people around me; the way people act and the way interact. MaNy a Time I felt bad over people behaving and I wonder why we are like this since we know that  there is little Time LeFt. We are here because of our Lord. No one here a king or queen by right. If it is, its we created or someone assumes so. We know the history? Here in fact we are all equal. The name, religion, language, colour, style or whatever may be nothing has the right to make us different. Let us work together to build a goood world. Look @people there are some people those who do not have enough facilities as we have. Support them and this is the single thing that i believe  may help us to come over the thoght of failures.

So no one, I believe has the right to think that they are different from other. Just love your neighbours, friends, parents, assistants and boss instead thinking them bad or judging them wrong. Because we can achieve great things only with the help of others.
