New years Resolution... It is meant to be KEPT..

We are all excited to bid farewell to 2008 and welcome a much awaited year 2009. The reason for excitement may not be because we had a pleasant time in 2008, but may be that we expect the New Year to bring us more glory and fortune. It may be because we can rely on our hopes that certain things will turn out to be better the coming year at least.


This is a special occasion for me; At this juncture I would like to thank all of you for your support and cooperation in seeing through the 26 weeks of journey through motivation by VISWARAM PUBLICATIONS. I am glad to announce the completion of 6 successful months by this blog.


For most of us the year 2008 was a struggling phase, it may be the time when we passed out of college and faced the drills of a new job. It may be the time we had to move out of the city, met new people, learned a new language and made new friends. Most of you would agree if I said that we were really struggling to get the days by when we were at the new job. If we could recall the last few months, it was the time we where starting to settle when suddenly we where hit by the recession. We again had to keep struggling to survive in the current job.


Peace of mind can be guaranteed only when we have started to settle. In a highly volatile and changing situation it’s hardly to stay focused and keep chasing your dreams. We loose consistency, sometimes our mind keeps bothering us “should I persist with my goals?”, we loose motivation and finally our dreams get shattered.


We can console ourselves telling that the year 2008 was a character building year, with lots of learning’s and lots of don’t-do points learned. We can keep track of these to build a fortune in the upcoming 2009. At least we can convince ourselves those will work out – hopefully!


I believe that there are some resolutions that we must take, come what may, to ensure our growth as an individual as well as in a society.


Perseverance: No matter what, people who persist stay – others perish. We need to attune our minds to be stubborn with our goals. After all if you achieve your goals, will it not be the best reward the almighty can give you.


Hope: Crisis and pitfalls happen most of the time, success is a rarity. But the value of success is rated higher to the tough times you have gone through. So to live with your head up, even though you are on a sinking ship, you need to have hope.


Quality of Relationship: You need to be amidst the people whom you believe are the best. They should be able to accompany you to your dreams rather than shattering it. Recently we had a school reunion; I met many of my friends after 5 years. They where the people I used to be with for 12 long years. The reunion made me aware of how negligent I had been in keeping contacts with them. The wonderful time I had there was more than enough to convince me about the quality of relationship you should maintain.




7 years or 10,000 hours is what it takes to be the best in any field. It will take you that long to be the elite 10% in your field. You don’t have a choice in the years that you grow; 7 years from now, you will be elder by 7 years – what matters is whether you are in top 10% or broke! So for those of you, who haven’t thought to be the best, let this New Year be the best occasion for the same. We can assure you when you step out in faith you will be a sure shot success by 2016.

Just like the mistake I made in not maintaining the relation I had with my school mates, most of us must have made some mistakes or the other. Let this New Year be the occasion to right the wrongs and may it shower on us all the fruits of our benefits.


Thanks again to keep me posted of your suggestions and comments of these writings. My heart felt regards for your continuing support and helpfulness. I expect for the same going forward >>

Guaranteed recipes to fail...

There are certain things in this world to which we cannot attach a guarantee card, say happiness, love, friendship, affection, hatred, anger and frustration. All these may be counted as emotions or state of the mind, which may even be temporary .i.e. it can be changed by external forces and incidents. And there are others which come with a guarantee; say the TV that comes with a 5 year guarantee or the refrigerator or the air conditioner or the mobile phone or anything that we get to buy in the market.         Almost all manufactured products are offered a guarantee, be it 5 years or 5000 hours or 2 lakh kilometers. All man-made things can be given a surety, while almost all god given gifts cannot. This is the reason as to why we cannot guarantee we’ll be happy even when we earn $1,000,000,000. Who knows, we might be happier as a poor man.         I have heard people state that successes and failures are states of mind and that we have the abil...

Have a Plan.. or else you fit into someone else’s..

Gold medal won’t come to an athlete who simply sits at home, success never comes unnoticed and as a surprise. Success is not in the form of a lottery which comes most unexpected and unfortunately no one has become rich winning a lottery. Victory comes to the person who has a plan. When I was in school, I believed during the prize distribution ceremony that I will win a prize, even though I never participated in any event. How many of you had this strange feeling? I now realize it was foolish to expect a return when you haven’t put any effort, but at that point of time I continued to believe that I will win prizes even if I did not participate in any event. We don’t realize, many of us still expect something big to happen though we have not paid the price for it. Success comes to the person, who steps out of the comfort zone. To be in the stretch zone there should be something that motivates you. Its human to crave for more, personally I would not put the effort if the pain is more ...

who can be a mentor ?

Mentor: [men-tawr, -ter] : noun: (1) a wise and trusted counselor or teacher. (2) an influential senior sponsor or supporter. verb (used without object) (3) to act as a mentor: She spent years mentoring to junior employees. Mentee :[men-tee] : noun: a person who is guided by a mentor. The dictionary defines a mentor and a mentee in just a few simple words, but that does not give a complete picture of the privileges and power these people have got. A Mentor is someone who gives an honest and wise advice to his/her followers. Of the many followers, the one who grasps his advice and goes ahead to use them are mentees. All of us may have a mentor, but not necessarily mentees. The reason for this being, "No one is perfect". We are all people who want to bring in perfection, be it in our personality, family relationships, work motivation, earning skill or the way we close sales. So we seek the help of a force greater than us to guide us. A mentor is someone who ...
