The Power of Being Good

Since a couple of days a question has been revolving in my mind. The question is-What happened to 'good'? During my childhood days, I used to hear a lot about the word 'good'. Whenever a person asked me the question regarding what kind of a person I am, I would always reply in a boastful manner to him that I am a good boy. We were all born and bought up in a place where 'good' manners were given the utmost priority in our lives. We always had a desire to become 'good' citizens of our respective countries. But now, after all these years, I feel that somewhere along the line, the word 'good' is losing it's significance. The word which was once considered as one of the best words, is slowly being replaced by words like'cool', 'great', 'amazing', etc. Now having said that, I don't mean that the replaced words are not decent. It's just that those words are being used more frequently than it should have, given the kind of magnitude it holds.
Now in the next 30-45 seconds, let me tell you what a good person actually means

  • It means that he is a person who values his relationships and remains true to his words.
  • It means that he is a person who does not run away from hard times, but rather embraces it, since he acknowledges the fact that it will only make him stronger from the inside.
  • It means that he is a person who seeks more growth, and not more things.
  • It means that he is a person who behaves in a graceful manner.
  • It means that he is a person who always has the hunger to improve himself in a comprehensive manner.
  • It means that he is a person who gives nothing but his very best in the work he does and delivers more than is expected.
  • It means that he is a person who will not be brainwashed in believing in the status quo.
  • It means that he is a person who reaches out to others and tries to strike a constructive conversation with others to make new friends and increase his circle of influence.
Hope I have been of help to you. Share this message to all the good people around you to make them realise how important they are. Thank you.

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...

The Journey

 Pretty soon, I will see myself at the brink of embarking upon a new journey, a journey that will give exposure and inputs to my mind, the one that leads to realizing my capabilities, making be firm, bold and undeterred by the opinions of others. Taking the road less traveled has always been a phrase which we love to read, but I find that experiencing, it requires a lot more courage. It's always difficult to start your journey to a place which you've only read about, but never encountered before. There is a pride in my visage that this journey will help me to grow, but I won't deny the dread growing slowly at the back of my mind regarding whether I am fully prepared for it or not. Material success is necessary, but it means little when it is not complemented with the right values which one holds. My near and dear ones have made sure that I don't lose my values when people have something tempting to offer. Numerous dreams are riding on my shoulder, but ...
