We are now less than three weeks into this brand new year. And I'm trying hard to keep my resolutions especially the particular one which I resolve not to procrastinate my work. You know, it's not easy to be on track all the time. Sometimes we need little notes and words that could help us to remind ourselves of what we suppose to do in order to make sure we have a remarkable milestones throughout the next 12 months. I guess no one wants a miserable ending at December and regrets over things that you could have done but you didn'tBut over time, 2008 might just start to feel just like the old ones before. Getting the spark to list down our goals, set the priorities and get ourselves and keep on moving can be very tough at times. We tend to keep our to-do tasks only in our minds and fail to work on them most of the times. We keep focusing on problems with not finding a jet pack to overcome them with posible solutions. We stop to progress. In fact the one and only way to get things out of our mind is by making progress on them!
Challenges don't get harder if our end product is progress. Keep moving closer towards your goals and dreams. Have some motivation and strong energy within you all the time to keep yourself on your toes. And, when I said that some of you might just ask, how? Here's how motivation can be made simple!
And I repeat, you get things out of our mind is by making progress on them! All the best and keep rocking. May you have a blessed Friday and wish you a great weekend ahead! :)
- Have your dreams and burning desire, set goals and get down to work.
- Actions created motivation. Get cracking and that is it.
- The habit of doing it now, and not wasting another minute is motivation.
I am in KL right now attending the National Indian Youth Convention 2007. I'll be on road most of the time for the next few days. My updates will be minimal as I'll be away from my keyboard. Till we meet again, I give you some nice lines for you to ponder :)
Did you know that an eagle knows when a storm is approaching long before it breaks? The eagle will fly to some high spot and wait for the winds to come.
When the storm hits, it sets its wings so that the wind will pick it up and lift it above the storm. While the storm rages below, the eagle is soaring above it. The eagle does not escape the storm. It simply uses the storm to lift it higher. It rises on the winds that bring the storm.
When the storms of life come upon us - and all of us will experience them - we can rise above them by setting our minds and our belief toward God. The storms do not have to overcome us. We can allow God's power to lift us above them.
God enables us to ride the winds of the storm that bring sickness, tragedy, failure and disappointment in our lives. We can soar above the storm.
Remember, it is not the burdens of life that weigh us down, it is how we handle them.
Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS which he got due to infected blood he received during a heart surgery in 1983.From World over, he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed:
"Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease"?
To this Arthur Ashe replied:
The world over --
5 crore children start playing tennis,
50 lakh learn to play tennis,
5 lakh learn professional tennis,
50,000 come to the circuit,
5000 reach the grand slam,
50 reach Wimbledon,
4 to semi final,
2 to the finals,
when I was holding a cup I never asked GOD "Why me?".
And today in pain I should not be asking GOD"Why me?"
And today in pain I should not be asking GOD"Why me?"
Happiness keeps u Sweet, Trials keep u Strong, and Sorrow keeps u Human, Failure Keeps u Humble, Success keeps u Glowing, But only God Keeps u Going.....
"One important key to success is self-confidence.
An important key to self-confidence is PREPARATION."

Years ago, footage emerged from a remote village in India. The video shows a young girl receiving surgery to separate her fingers, which were badly burned and fused together. Why did this operation make headlines around the world? The surgery was performed by a 7-year-old boy named Akrit Jaswal.
Akrit Jaswal is a young Indian who has been called “the world’s smartest boy” and it’s easy to see why - Now 13 years old, Akrit has an IQ of 146 and is considered the smartest person his age in India—a country of more than a billion people. Before Akrit could even speak, his parents say they knew he was special. In person Akrit doesn’t look like your typical boy genius. He doesn’t have the big goggles, the jacket with a row of Biros in the top pocket and the boy-wonder bow tie. He has the typical jeans-and-trainers look of a 12-year-old. He is anxious to present himself as just an ordinary boy, but one with an extraordinary brain. “I’m just like any other kid, except when it comes to talking about science.” He even boasts he’s no “bookworm” or a “boffin”. “No, I don’t spend all my time reading and studying,” he tells me. “I was given a copy of Stephen Hawking’s book, but I’ve never read it.”
"He learned very fast," says Raksha, Akrit's mother. "After learning the alphabet, we started to teach him joining of words, and he started writing as well. He was two." At an age when most children are learning their ABCs, Akrit was reading Shakespeare and assembling a library of medical textbooks. When he was 5 years old, he enrolled in school. One year later, Akrit was teaching English and math classes. Akrit developed a passion for science and anatomy at an early age. Doctors at local hospitals took notice and started allowing him to observe surgeries when he was 6 years old. Inspired by what he saw, Akrit read everything he could on the topic. When an impoverished family heard about his amazing abilities, they asked if he would operate on their daughter for free. Her surgery was a success. After the surgery, Akrit was hailed as a medical genius in India. Neighbors and strangers flocked to him for advice and treatment. At age 11, Akrit was admitted to Punjab University. He's the youngest student ever to attend an Indian university. That same year, he was also invited to London's famed Imperial College to exchange ideas with scientists on the cutting edge of medical research.
When asked how he managed to carry out the procedure for surgery; wasn’t he nervous? He answered, “No, I wasn’t. I have read many medical books and attended many operations. I think I did a better job than most surgeons. They would have opted for plastic surgery, but I didn’t need to.” The fact that carrying out such a procedure is illegal doesn’t worry him. “Yes, it was illegal. But it does no harm. It’s good for mankind. So what if it goes against dead old medical ethics?” Akrit’s interest in science began at the age of four. “It was then that I read Gray’s Anatomy and books on chemistry. I studied physics up to A-level standard. I was fascinated by science because it could answer all the questions I had about life — how we got here and why we are here. But now I’m older I have to find new answers.” One answer he is confident of finding is a cure for cancer. It’s this claim that has brought him worldwide media attention, admiration . . . and derision. So how does a 12-year-old with no medical training and no lab experience discover a cure for cancer? He says “I actually made my discovery when I was eight. I did it by reading books on cancer and getting information from the internet. My cure aims at the modification of malformed genes that cause cancer and their successful repair either by the activation of enzymes or direct modification of genotoxic drugs.” At present, Akrit is attending university where he is doing a BSc undergraduate course in medicine. It can’t be easy being the only 12- year-old there. The question that hangs over the boy’s head is this — will he ever be able to live up to everyone’s expectations? What happens if his ideas do not in fact cure cancer? “I will be embarrassed, but I will never give up trying,” he says.

கடமையை செய், பலனை எதிர்பார்க்காதே!
அதை நான் வேண்டிய நேரத்தில், வேண்டிய இடத்தில்,
வேண்டிய நபர்களின் மூலம் சரியாக கொடுப்பேன்!
எது நடந்ததோ அது நன்றாகவே நடந்தது,
எது நடக்கிறதோ அதுவும் நன்றாகவே நடக்கின்றது,
எது நடக்க இருக்கின்றதோ அதுவும் நன்றாகவே நடக்கும்!

உனக்கு துரோகியாக இருப்பதை நிறுத்திவிட்டு,
உனக்கு சிறந்த குருவாக இருக்கப் பழகிக்கொள்!
வலிமையே வாழ்வு; பலவீனமே மரணம்!

It tells you that everything you do will always leave a Mark. You can always correct the mistake you make. The important thing in life is what you are from inside and not from out side. In life you will undergo painful sharpenings which will make you better in whatever you do. Finally, to be the best you can be, you must allow yourself to be held and guided by the hand that holds you !
