Why would a 40-year-old man care about a car he drove when he was 18? " he asks. It matters, quite simply, because nostalgia makes us feel good. But is that all? Most of our days are often filled with routine activities that are not particularly significant — shopping for groceries, commuting to work and so forth. Nostalgia is a way for us to tap into the past experiences that we have that are quite meaningful — to remind us that our lives are worthwhile, that we are people of value, that we have good relationships, that we are happy and that life has some sense of purpose or meaning. In these hard times, do we need to stand alone and aloof? A Standard Life study suggests 28 to 40-year-olds don't plan for the future because they prefer to reminisce about past times.

Therefore it is important to tune your nostalgia to live in the present and to be prepared for the future. List cherished memories Find photos or mementos from happy times "Why does it matter? Negative peer pressure is a thorn in your side. Peer pressure is the influence exerted by a peer group, encouraging individuals to change their attitude, values, or behaviors in order to conform to group norms. Peer pressure is most common when we get into this trap because of a lack of maturity to handle pressure from friends, colleagues and society. Also we behave negatively towards those who are doing good, earning money, getting promoted and what not. 'True victory means complete control over the sense of organs' Peer pressure can also have positive effects when people are pressured toward positive behavior, such as volunteering for charity or excelling in academics or athletics, by their peers.

Most of the peers influence each other in negative ways. If women nor allowed to shoddy short cuts then neither should men. What is good for the goose is good for the gander. 'A person is pronounced great when he can face a difficult situation with happiness' 'What separates a highly developed man from an animal? Plan Less Monkey, Gutless Image, Human Less King and Queenless Hive. Plan less monkey: A monkey which puts its paw into the narrow neck of a jug, and having seized a handful of nuts will not open its fist for fear of losing what it holds, and therefore perishes. Gut less image: People play at generosity of spirit and all that stuff. Such generosity of spirit and sensibility are like the nobility and sensibility of a lady who faints when she sees a chick being killed: she is so kind-hearted that she can’t look at blood, but enjoys eating the chicken served up with Indian spice and sauce. Only for the purpose of securing a magnified image, the so called leader’s management and habit of winning coinciding with people’s inclinations, allurement by the grandeur of the preparations, and the expenditure those preparations and the need of obtaining advantages to compensate for that expenditure and the intoxicating culture.

Human less King: That is, discipline, idleness, ignorance, cruelty, corruption, and drunkenness. Between U & Ur dream: 7 habits, 6 practices & 5 techniques. The foundation for a person’s success boils down to his/her habits. So the fundamental truth is discipline that is followed as a result of one’s habits, practices and techniques – can take a person to hilltop or drive the person deep into the valley of failure. When I say discipline is the integral to success. I cannot stress enough on the discipline of the ones that leaders follow in their very own life, which positively helped them establish their identity as a person, excel in the various endeavors they undertook in their journey through life and finally, enabled them to win and achieve many ambitious goals.

I have therefore established a practical approach, which when implemented as a discipline – can help any individual to learn to excel, to win and to achieve. I say there are ‘765 Ways to Win’. Seven implied the fundamental habits that need to be practiced: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Six practices that enable to win are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 5 most important techniques: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Winners put their shoulder to the wheel. The fountain of wisdom drops. Greed and over ambition is a dead loss. Greed for the unearned is bad, but if you only want what you deserve, that too is greed, because when you do not get what you deserve, you feel a righteous sense of indignation.

A company had 1000 units order and planning, but boss wanted more 2000+ units, which is double. When the company increased capacity and resources, competitor cropped up and eaten away the potential orders. End of the year company left with lot of inventory and huge wasteful resources and a huge loss, which is like killing the goose that lays golden eggs. Greed is ‘an overwhelming desire to have more of something such as money than is actually needed.’ We want more because we aspire for a better quality of life, and we do not want to worry about not having. I make use of my skills, time and energy to get what I need and wanted.

A ship in a harbor is safe, but that is not what ships were built for. They find ways to find others mistakes like a bull in a china shop. So that they can be released and procrastinate in the mist of chaos and uncertainty every time they find others mistakes so that they can escape from the pain and the acceptance of their own failure. The easier way is to point fingers at others and play the blame game. These people are very much visible with egoistic messages and, communication thinking that whole issue and/or problem is because of all other functions, people, situations and they think that they are smart in the whole world and always harping on past glory, which no one had witnessed.

Most of the time they abuse others, unhappy, cynical, egoistic, self praising, and shrinking ownership when it comes to self delivery, and non-value added nature. The important issue is that they procrastinate on their personal growth as well. Similarly, in our daily lives, when we face any challenges or failures and we choose to escape from the reality or ignore the reality, it stops our growth in professionally and personally. Check your gut and thoughts. No matter how upset you get about the actions or behaviors of others, it will not change anything. The only person you have control over is yourself, and if you are so busy being upset over the behavior of someone else then you have just given that person power over you. Another person cannot make you upset without your consent.

Check your gut and thoughts when this happens to see what you are focusing on. Each time you allow another person to get under your skin, you are choosing to give up control over your life. You need to decide what you are willing to do to get what you want. Allowing people to put you down only makes life harder on yourself.

We always feel better looking at inferior people and snug as a bug in a rug. The spirit of “SME” Whether we have recession or the economy is booming, Subject Matter Expertise (SME) is the key to our success.

If we cannot keep upgrading our SME, we are not going to weather the storm and in good times we cannot take advantage of the available talents. We need to spend energy on effectively learning and evaluating our own skills and SME, however, without appropriate measurement methods, these efforts can be useless. SME is a collection of knowledge, skills, abilities and other characteristics that define effective performance for a job. SME is important and relevant way for executing the objectives that need to be developed both personally and professionally so as to be able to capitalize on our performance in life.

Most of the stupendous leaders do possess neither prominent physical appearance nor vigorous personality. What distinguishes them is the clarity of thought and persuasiveness of their dreams, the depth of their dedication, and the extent of their candidness to continually learning more.

They do not ‘have the answer,’ yet they seem to instill self-belief in those around them that, together, ‘we can learn whatever we need to learn in order to achieve the outcome we truly craving.’ Leaders work to build up conceptual and communication skills. Some other leaders strive to pay attention to and be glad about others and their dreams. Some use other approaches. But all are committed to working on their own growth, to ‘struggling to become a human being.’

Each leader think in a different way, truly valuable leaders seem to come to a shared approval of the power of holding Vision and concurrently looking deeply and honestly at current certainty. Start loving your steps, talent, actions and your dream. How one can ‘Stay hungry and Stay foolish’ ? Even if you have to fail, attempt something big so that you fail spectacularly.

Flow and status-quo is the state in which we are so involved in an activity that nothing else seems to matter; the experience itself is so enjoyable that we will do it even at great cost, for the sheer sake of doing it. Collect things that command our attentionProcess what they mean and to do about themOrganize the results and review as options for what we choose to and implement The triple beauty is that our mind keeps reminding us of things when we can’t do anything about them. Why there is a LIMIT to grow?

Independance. With a gentle execution, you can shake the world. In defining and driving our strategic objectives and targets from dream to reality, we need to link the details in terms of ‘what we need to do in order to realize the dream’ and then convert all the “WHATs” in terms of ‘how we will be converting that dream into a reality’. Here’s what I suggest if we are really serious about awakening our inner self so that we begin to see stellar in our life.

Barker wrote in 1993, ‘When a paradigm shifts, everyone goes back to zero’ and companies are being faced with this rule time and time again. When we move into a new age, a new race starts. Barker continues, ‘By zero, I mean that regardless of what position was with the old paradigm – number one in market share, leader in technology, best reputation – you are back at the starting line with the new paradigm. The days come and go like muffled and veiled figures sent from a distant friend party but they say nothing. Excellence is about change and influencing others to change.

Her left leg has suffered a form of paralysis. Specialists told her mother that years of therapeutic massage might restore the use of the leg. For the next two years, Mrs. Rudolph, on her weekly day off, made a 90 mile round trip to the clinic. The other Six days, after arriving from work and preparing the family’s supper, she carefully massaged the wasted small leg until long after Wilma had fallen asleep. After two years of such painstaking effort, Wilma could manage to hop for short distances. She tried harder and finally she got her reward – she made the team. In the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome Wilma Glodean Rudolph became the first American woman to win three gold medals in track and field during a single Olympic Games. The powerful sprinter emerged from the 1960 Rome Olympics as "The Tornado," the fastest woman on earth.
