Meaning of "Success"

 ‘Success’ is a personal perception. Each person has their own definition, success is a personal notion; for some it is financial security, others being healthy – for yet others it is the depth of their friendships,

In some way the questions represent a notion of ‘success’. Over time my answers may change. Interesting, however that most of the questions do relate to those five fundamental components of well-being documented by the New Economic Forum

1. People Connection
2. Being Active
3. Take Notice
4. Learning
5. Give

Take a moment and rate yourself 1 to 10 for each of the questions below (10 representing doing really well) – and then consider of each of the elements where do you want to focus your energy (not all questions might be relevant).

After all 'success' is a personal journey.

• Finding meaningful and fulfilling work? ___
• Finding suitable spouse partner? ___
• Building a successful relationship with your spouse/partner? ___
• Raising your children? ___
• Building and/or maintaining a close relationship with your parents? ___
• Building and/or maintaining a close relationship with your siblings? ___
• Developing close friendships? ___
• Stewarding your financial resources? ___
• Living up to your intellectual potential? ___
• Nurturing your spiritual potential? ___
• Dealing with your fears? ___
• Finding wisdom? ___
• Taking care of your physical health? ___
• Taking care of your emotional health? ___
• Being of service to others? ___
• Being at one with yourself? ___
• Accepting your limitations? ___
• Coming to terms with aging and your own mortality? ___
• Everyone at birth is ‘dealt a hand,’ so to speak rate the quality of the ‘hand’ you were dealt? ___
• Overall, rate yourself on how well you believe you have played the game of life, given the hand you were dealt? ___

I have always operated believing that ‘if it is meant to be it is up to me’ – Where did you score below 5? And what are you going to do to work on that area? I’m reviewing my life in terms of the above and there is actions to be taken…

It is just as important to ask yourself hard questions about your life – and review how it is going – as it is for a business. All to often we drift from one thing to the next - not taking a moment to appreciate our 'successes'.

Women's Day Special

Today, March 8^th, International Women's Day, is a day of celebration. It is also a day when each of us must recommit to ending the inequality that prevents progress in every corner of the globe. We can and we must commit to this so that each of our daughters can ride the bus to school without fear, all of our sisters can fulfill their tremendous potential, and every woman and girl can live up to her full potential

Indian women might have broken through the glass ceiling on the political, professional and corporate fronts, and urban women especially have made remarkable progress and asserted their independence in many areas involving their career and personal choices, but the fact remains that insecurity haunts them on the streets, in offices, in their own homes or even in the mother's womb.

 As the Dec 16, 2012, gang-rape of a young woman in Delhi shows, women not only face harassment on the streets on a daily basis but are also victims of violent sexual assault at homes where brides are still set on fire and in offices where work harassment is a reality too.

The Indian woman today has achieved and advanced a lot be it professionally or socially owing to their strong will power. Be it any sector women are right up there and education has played a big role in that.There are a lot of strong headed women today in our society and more women are coming out, determined to prove themselves. But it is also true that social evils and taboos still exist that hinders their progress," 

Here’s to the Woman!!!!

….Who know where she is going,

And will keep on until she get there,

Who knows not only what she wants from life,

But she has to offer in return.

Here’s to the Woman….

Who is loyal  to family and friends,

Who expects no more from others,

Then she is willing to give.

Here’s to the Woman….

Who gives the gift of her thoughtfulness,

Who shows her caring with a word of support,

Her understanding with a smile,

A woman who brings joy to others,

Just by being herself.

HAPPY WOMEN'S DAY to all.Try to get respect and give respect to woman. Woman's are special. Treat them as special... 

9 Attitudes towards a happy ‘You’

Today I just got some situation in which i just thought what i can do in this type of situation. I've think about for some time and just then i go through an article.So i'm sharing this in my blog....

The key to happiness is to do the same things you do every day but with a slightly different approach. Start bringing those changes in your attitude towards life and you'll see how simple it is to be happy!

Gratitude
Appreciate what you have and value it. Try counting your positives and be grateful for all the good things and people in your life. Stop complaining and be thankful for what you already have and you'll soon start feeling happy.

Optimism
Treat failure as an opportunity to learn a new and better lesson from life, and that's the trick to manufacture optimism in life. Never give up trying because that's an indication that something better is in store. Once you start harbouring an optimistic attitude towards life, success will automatically follow.

Avoid comparison
Nothing is as awful as comparing yourself to someone else. If you think you're better that the other person, you're letting yourself regale in an unhealthy sense of superiority. If you demean yourself in front of others, it means all your hard work and progress has been in vain. While social comparisons are unhealthy, self-improvement is effective.

Kindness
There's a scientific reason behind every act of kindness that you do. Helping someone selflessly releases serotonin in your brain (Serotonin is the hormone that controls your mood) and hence makes you feel good about yourself almost instantly. Try doing one act of kindness everyday to flush out the toxins of depression from your system.

Nurture relationships
Relationships keep us alive and kicking. In fact, according to research studies loneliness doubles people's mortality rates. A circle of good friends, loving family members and cheerful colleagues are a reminder that you have people who care about you. There's nothing like having someone who you can share your experiences with. So nurture these relationships and say goodbye to a lonesome existence.

Forgive
Hatred is a negative feeling and harbouring it will have nothing but negative effects on your well-being. Stop thinking about the hateful emotion/person and let it go. Forgive if needed, take things lightly and let it not affect your system.

Commit to your goals
If you have a goal, work towards it. Anything is achievable if you put your heart into it. Wholehearted dedication and diligence can bring extraordinary results and consequentially add to your happiness.

Spirituality
Spirituality teaches us that life is bigger than us and it helps us connect to the larger meanings of life. Practice spirituality to understand the source of all creation and feel connected to everything that exists in this world.

Care for your body
Love yourself and love your body! Your physical condition has a direct connection with your well-being. A fit body and healthy mind is reflective of happiness. Start working towards the health of your physical, mental and emotional energy by caring for your body.

I Wish Everyone Loved......

For the first time I’m writing for a contest. I want to write previously for Preeti Shenoy’s Blog-“Wishlist Wednesday”, But forget to write in whole month, Today is the last day of this contest,So at the time of coming to office, I decide,I’ll participate in this contest today only..so I'm......

I wish Everyone loved to give value to Time- Time is the most important aspect of our daily life. We know that time is dimension  ordered from past through the present into the future. So we should learn how to learn time management. Everyone should be give prioritize to do list, learn to delegate, Get organized and learn to say ‘NO’.

I wish Everyone loved to others- Life is a game. We have to play for our self and others. Everyone should have the feelings of love for others. Love is critical for body and mind. It’s not negotiable for anybody. It is also true that the less love you have, the more depression you are likely to experience in your life. Love is probably the best antidepressant there is because one of the most common sources of depression is feeling unloved. Most depressed people don't love themselves and they do not feel loved by others. They also are very self-focused, making them less attractive to others and depriving them of opportunities to learn the skills of love.Everyone should love everybody, then only the world can be in peace.

I wish Everyone should loved to give respect to Women-Women creates the world. Women creates the men. But at the end she is suffering for the everything in life. House,Road,Hotel no place is safe for her. Women are part of life as Mother, sister, wife, friend, daughter. In every way Women are sharing love to others. They are also expecting some love from others.Give respect to Women, You will get 100% return of that.

I'm following preeti's blog from some month, Love to participating in the contest. I wish everybody should be loved....:)

Quote-1 for 2013

Happy New Year 2013

Like most people, as we head into 2013 I am hungry for change. In our cities, our culture, our families, and even in ourselves we want some things–many things–to be different. A new year brings hope that “it” will get better. The underlying reality of this desire is that things are not as they should be. The world is corrupt, our lives are incomplete, and people are broken.

But for all of the change I do desire, my greatest hope for 2013 is actually no change at all. You see, the fact that change is possible is rooted in another truth–God does not change, but remains constant.

Whether it’s giving up chocolate, joining the gym or reading more, most people want to make a fresh start when the clocks strike midnight on the 31st December.Interestingly enough though, it seems that the bite of the recession is the issue at the forefront of most poeple’s minds if the results of a recent survey are anything to go by.According to the study the top resolution was to save money, with 31 per cent of people saying they were planning to be more thrifty in 2013, while getting out of debt came a close second.

New Year is here. And again Resolution also. Always I used to keep resolution and break it in 1 month only but some resolution I kept for whole year also. Just want to keep resolution for this year.

1.Read more

2. Save Money

3.keep contact with friends

4.Reduce my anger

5.Be happy and smile

Shame on humanbeing

I will skip to the part which puts the entire humanity to shame and makes seasoned terrorists look like saints. Six people – the driver and his five friends beat up the guy. When the girl tries to defend him, they beat her mercilessly,  rape her one by one for hours and finish their abominable act by assaulting the poor girl’s private parts with an iron rod, leaving her ribs broken and her intestine so badly damaged that the doctors have had to cut it out as it had turned gangrenous.

I ask all the men, What have the womenfolk done to deserve such atrocities all over the world at our hands?  Why are we so unfair to half of the humankind? When and how did they wrong us? What right do we have to subjugate and punish them for our mental sickness and false chauvinism? “How zealous are we in punishing and killing those who disrespect our God or country. How shameless are we when we shoot a 15-year-old for wanting to study or rape a 23-year-old who is studying miles away from home, in hope that someday, she can support her old parents and finance her brother’s education.

It’s not Islam or Hinduism, but the entire womenfolk that is in danger. They care for us; they listen to our rants, bear our kids, and even earn their own bread to ease our financial burden.

And what do we offer them in return? We decide what they should wear, who they should talk to, in fact, whom they should vote for!

One of the biggest failures of the modern society is its inability in making the world a safer place for women folk. Rapes, mole stations  harassment at home and work know no territorial or cultural boundaries. While the guilty of such crimes should be handed out the severest punishment, let’s not evade the bigger question – ‘why have women been so marginalized and exploited and what should be done to change the mentality of men?’

I find myself incapable of a perfect answer to this question. I feel there is no single perfect answer. Therefore, I turn to you, I turn to us. Together, can we find the reason? Can we find the answers?
