Importance of Perseverance

In this era of accelerating change, overwhelming complexities and tremendous competition,one often finds it hard to keep going. There is always a battle going on within, which commences from morning, to the time one goes to sleep. When the morning alarm clock rings,the aching muscles of the body plead in an unanimous voice, saying that it is too dark,too early to get up, and asks to go back to the dreamland,pretending not to hear the the command of the brain,which says that there was a reason you set the alarm at the first place. Even in school, one feels intimidated seeing the efforts one has to put in to get to the top,and more importantly,to remain there, since in academics, it doesn't take time to plunge from sky high to rock-bottom.



When one is going through a rough patch, when difficulties and obstacles seem to be ubiquitous,the only reliable partner is perseverance. It is a guiding light which helps a person to get from where he is, to where he wants to be. Faith, passion, efforts and sweat are it's ingredients, success is the product. Perseverance is a tool which stimulates the fear of mediocrity and the hunger for excellence. In life,we should acknowledge the fact that it would be insane to expect someone to hand our dream in a golden plate, saying 'here's your dream manifested'. One has to strive,hustle and fight one's way through the hurdles of life in order to emerge as victorious,and that's exactly perseverance is all about. Let me end by quoting Robin Sharma,"Starting strong is good,finishing strong is EPIC".

The 2X3X Mindset

Does the title seems to be a bit abstruse. Let me break it down for you. This is something which I learned a few moths ago and guess what? It is doing wonders in my life! This principle states that if you want to  double  your income and your impact in your organisation, then you must  triple  your investment in your self-development.  You can't be progressing in your career if you are not willing to work on yourself and strive to be a better version of yourself with each passing day. What you'll have 2 years from now, 5 years from now,10 years from now solely depends on what you become and what are the things which you are willing to sacrifice today.  Your income hardly exceeds your self worth and once you acknowledge this very fact, you'll start realising that there is a very urgent need to start learning new skills and be very competitive. There are innumerable things which are out there in the world which can aide you reach your des...

Why I like the books of Dan Brown

We have all at one point in our lives regarded ourselves as bibliophiles. We have all been in a place where we get so engrossed into our literary paperbacks that the reality seems to be a at a far distant from us. You might have already, that I am no exception. I consider myself as a voracious reader of books who reads various genres since I don't want to deprive myself of the magnum opus of the literary greats in their respective subjects. Off late, I have been reading a lot of thriller books and who else could be better that the 'master of thriller', Dan   Brown . Literally guys, I have fell in love with his books! He has cracked the 'bestseller' code.The protagonist, Robert Langdon, a Harvard symbiologist, who strives to decipher seemingly impossible codes and tasks to save the planet. He is no less than a superhero for me, who unlike other superheroes, uses his brainpower rather than muscle power to get things done. Enigmatic puzzles and a complet...

How to Dominate your field

There was a time when we used to categorise people under two heads: 1) Those who sit idle and hardly put in the work,having no interest in refining oneself and helping to raise one's standard of living. 2) Those who work and try to compete with others to have a sense of supremacy. At that time,people who were under the second head used to be the elite class. The people who always try to compete against the herd. But now the times have changed. The people under the first head are the ones who are officially broke while the people of the second head have been categorised as average, who only participate in a competition without having any significant impact on the process. Over the years, a new breed of people have emerged who are nothing like the above mentioned groups. These people are relentless,who always try to disrupt the status quo. These are the people who are way past ahead of competition and seek complete domination. Every person in this world aspires to do...
