CONFIDENCE... Never run out of it

Confidence is as important for success as water is for our sustenance. It is not always possible to learn all things and then start doing them. Likewise, we cannot wait for the road to clear before we learn driving. All that it takes for us to attempt any particular feat is confidence. "Confidence is not when you know all the answers, it’s when you are prepared to take all the questions".
Most people hesitate to start off something new because of the lack of confidence. Let us accept the fact, that all winners did not have a clear cut path to their dreams. They had the courage and confidence to make a start. As they progressed towards their goal, they certainly met with many obstacles, some totally unexpected!
I think confidence and enthusiasm go hand in hand. If you’re a natural enthusiast, definitely you will be a confident individual. We need to analyze why our confidence level doesn’t remain the same throughout our lives? It could be because of some set backs or temporary defeats. Mistakes and defeats are all the part of the game; they inturn build your character. But most people, even people whom I’ve come across just don’t recover from this state. They confuse temporary defeat with failure and dont pounce back. It is said that the "strength of the timber can be measured by the winds it has faced".

You are not a person who should remain defeated always; you needn’t stay unblessed when people around you fly past. I am asking you to develop that confidence, which will always put you on the victory stand throughout life.
We are the best judge of ourselves; we know what motivates us and what turns us off. Confidence is an integral tool that you should develop immaterial of where you are, what you do and what you want to become. You should be able to find out, what exactly are the things that boost your confidence, and do the same when your spirits are low. Say, you love playing cricket, suppose you are fed up with work pressures or family issues; I promise you, after a round of play you will feel like an entirely different person.

Confidence is always a high energy state. It’s a level tough to reach, but the result you get at this energy level is awesome! Confident people tend to achieve more; they even outrun people who are miles ahead of them logically, technically and talent wise. We all love to be around a confident individual; they will be definitely around you if you transform yourselves to a highly confident person! -----------------------------------------------
Confidence is the key to become the successful person in life and to achieve what we want. Confidence has to be in everyone’s day-to-day activities. We all want to achieve what we dream to and we try very hard to get that but if we have Self Confidence, the road to success becomes shorter and easier .
We all are attracted to a person who is self confident. The reason being self-confident people inspire confidence in others: Their audience, their peers, their bosses, their customers, and their friends. Gaining the confidence of others is one of the key ways in which a self-confident person finds success. The good news is that self-confidence really can be learned and built on. And, whether you’re working on your own self-confidence or building the confidence of people around you, it’s well-worth the effort!
All other things being equal, self-confidence is often the single ingredient that distinguishes a successful person from someone less successful. We can work upon improving our self-confidence by learning from the one who is more confident than us.  ----Akanksha

Change.. The ability to redirect your energy…

I hope that by the communications we have had so far, you would have started outlining your goals and defined a time frame to achieve them. If you haven’t, then start right away! Remember, " If you start early you become successful early". We all should be developing the 'DO IT NOW !!!' attitude, I can assure you the results are incredible! Change, is a measure of our ability to take different paths leading to the same goal. Change is an inevitable part of success. I believe, when we start up something new, we are guided by a magical "beginners luck" but beware as it doesn’t last forever! At a later phase we won’t get the results we wanted. We may also feel like we have emptied out all our resources. This is where ‘CHANGE’ comes into play. "The only thing that doesn’t change in this universe is the word change itself". Most people quit at this point. They don’t put in the efforts to do the R&D. If we strongly have a goal in our mind, when all ...

Just Shut Up and Listen... (JSUpL)

If you are confident, get up and speak, if you don’t know the answer Just Shut Up and Listen (JSUpL). These words are not unfamiliar, but are truly unpracticed. Its almost natural for us to react to situations around but most often we forget to whether we are the right person to advice people. Whatever is your age, experience, qualification – you need to develop the habit of listening to topics that you are not aware of. You need to respect the person who is helping you learn new practices and principles. Most often our ego gets in the way and protects us to learn things from people who are not qualified, inexperienced, under aged but with knowledge. This is so true, and just like it applies to me, it applies to you as well. Let think of this situation, you are 8+ years experienced in your organization, now a fresher comes in and talks about things that are knowledgeable and intellectually correct – but your ego gets in the way, and your years of experience logically defends the freshe...

Momentum Revisited...More of speed than skill…

I could understand from the feedback received on the previous newsletter that some of you had difficulty in assimilating the new definition of momentum that I had put forth. So I have decided to revisit the topic and explain a bit further. In the previous newsletter I’d defined business momentum as the product of skill and speed. Most often we see in business, that leaders tend to increase their speed infinitely so as to compensate for their lack of skill, to keep pace with the market. This phenomenon can be clearly seen in the billion dollar retail industry. Almost all major players focus primarily on improving their customer network prior to improving the quality of products. This is because of the immense latent power in networking. It would be foolish for a retail distributor to limit his operations to a single centre and concentrate on improving his products rather than on improving the quality of operation. This phenomenon can be seen all around us, but we may not have given it s...
