11 Wired things to do in an elevator

Everyone, at least once in their lifetimes, have been on an elevator. People of all kinds meet in a strange atmosphere of silence and every human sense seem to amplify. Someone people notice each other while others embrace their calmness and detachment.

Why do many cricket lovers hate MS Dhoni so much, despite the most successful Indian Captain?

We humans always look for pattern everywhere, we are comfortable seeing strategies which follow from logical deductions; so when we see a guy who is seemingly instinctive yet immensely successful, we tend to become uncomfortable and label him as merely lucky.

Power of believing in yourself

 

Life is not always a fairy-tale or a beautiful sunshine. There ought to be dark clouds in everyone’s life. There will be struggle, suffering and test of patience but life begins at the end of your comfort zone. Suffering builds the character and strength does not come from winning but your struggle develops your strength. For what you are struggling today will be your strength tomorrow, you just have to

Premier league referees are costing English teams in Europe

Premier league was known to be the best league in the world for the quality of football it delivered to the viewers. The referees had a major role in ensuring that the standard was maintained keeping within the rules of the game. But lately that hasn't been the case.

No English team had reached the quarterfinals in European competitions this year. What could be the reason for that? Quality of players? Money? Managers? No! PL is still the richest and the most popular league in the world. The problem is the substandard refereeing.

Relation between Success, Hard Work And Luck

"A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work." - Colin Powell

Hard work means putting 100% effort for your passion and when that passion converts into success it can either means that your stars have been with you or extraordinary effort has been shown by the person. Success is the mutual intersection
between hard work and luck. Hard work puts cause and effect into motion. Once you have experienced the effects and rewards of hard work, luck willingly climbs aboard.

Give 110% effort for your work and luck will follow your hard work and don’t wait for the opportunities to knock in life, think and re-think and convert those opportunities into success stories.

Measuring success with amount of money is a delusion. Success is something which makes you more responsible towards society and work for the well-being of people. To serve more and more human beings is the real success. Success is mental peace. A person with great peace of mind, willpower and self –discipline is the real fighter and a leader.

In today’s world success is not defined by a person’s wealth but by the amount of good he has done to the people and how happy he/she is. Happiness brings you more wealth and creates positive energy around you.

The thing to remember is that between hard work and luck, you can control only one. But if you want to change your destiny start working hard.

Mantras to become successful:

1. Hard Work

 

Malcolm Gladwell argues in his book, "Outliers", and argues that if someone spends 10,000 hours towards any activity, he can become a world-class expert in it. In other words, 10,000 hours of hard work is required to be extremely successful. No success is achieved without hard work or without losing a sweat. 

  

2. Luck 

 

This is everyone's favorite! Whenever we look at successful people, we call them 'lucky!’ But what is luck? Is it just a chance, a good fortune? If yes, then how do people get repeated successes? If I were to say that luck is important too, then I would define luck as a confluence of perseverance, prospects and preference. However, a close look reveals that only those people who persevere to look for prospective opportunities to exploit become lucky.

                                                    Success =  Hard Work x Luck

3. Focus and Dedication

 

Hard work without focus leads to only a sinusoidal performance curve with lots of peaks and valleys. It doesn't yield a consistently improving performance. So focus and dedication should be the key to success.

4. Secret Ingredient to Success

All the above mentioned things are required for success but they are not sufficient. There is one secret ingredient to the gravy that brings flavor to the complete dish and makes it yummy, which is Inner Drive! Every individual has at least one strong Inner Drive. And then they have many external drives.  

The individuals for whom the external drive syncs well with the true inner drive, achieving success becomes a reality. The unfortunate part is that most ordinary folks spend their whole life without realizing their true inner drive.      
  

What is this Inner Drive?

We often use words like Passion, Obsession and Mania to talk about Inner Drive. I chose to call this yearning as Inner Drive to clearly differentiate it from the external drivers. For some people this inner drive is to connect with other people and for others it is money. For some it is knowledge and for others it is relationships. For some it is leadership and for others it is creation. 

Those who understand their inner drive and live their life with a yearning to fulfill it, become super successful. You can look at any successful person and you will see a very strong inner drive which led to his success. Be it Mother Teresa to help the needy or Mahatma Gandhi to strive for truth and fairness. There are even examples of successful people who didn't achieve stardom till they stumble upon their inner drive.
