Anger

Anger is very dangerous as it hampers the human relations.

Anger put pressure on heart there by the blood vessels get blocked called as Cardio Abstructive Pulmonary Disorder sometimes leading to heart attack.

Start looking at Anger as a separate personality from you and take an oath to get lesser anger.
Each time you get angry question yourself why did I get Angry?

The actual form of Anger is Depression and Frustration. The main problem for these is they will not be under control.

When you get angry, take a paper and write down the reasons and read it after some time, then you will know the actual reason for anger. Without reacting, if we get down to action in this way, our anxiety will be controlled. This will elevate one from anger and then gradually will stop getting angry.

Education

A Human soul without education is like marble in the quarry, which shows none of its inherent beauties, until the skill of the polisher fetches out the colors makes the surface shine discovers every ornamental cloud, spot and view that runs through the body of it.

In modern organization every knowledge worker (work with knowledge) is an executive if, by virtue of his position or knowledge, is responsible for a contribution that materially affects the capacity of the organization to perform and obtain results.

Such a man or woman must make decisions; he cannot just carry out orders. He must take responsibility for his contribution and he is supported by virtue of his knowledge, to the better equipped to make the right decision than anyone else.

Soft Skills

Soft skills are those that tell the individual about his ability in terms of capability, readiness, public and personal behavior.

All these soft skills are interdependent. For example: To speak to a group 30 or 40 we need to have good presentation skills and also if one needs to present it he should a have good grip on language. In order for us to know how we should interact with others we need to have interpersonal skills. If one needs to work and deliver more than his productivity he should know Time Management.

Skill is doing something correct perfectly and one will be able to do with training and practice. Doing this it fetches experience.

If we want to achieve something we should be dedicated and put in necessary efforts.

Self Respect & Self Esteem play an important role in personality development .

Yesterday Today Tomorrow

We can cherish certain moments of the past, some are easily erased and others are difficult to forget. We can be proud of our past experience both professional and personal or have a critical view on it. Instead in any case, we know that an experience of the past becomes very useful to us in future.

Today is a very interesting concept as well. Some people even say that it lasts for a second. What happened a second is in the past? What will happen in a second is future which is yet to come. Today we make various plans and try to rationally to organize our division of time in order to cope much better and more successful in future.

The presence of various views depends on their temperaments, characters and life style. Today our active preparation is for tomorrow’s success.

Tomorrow is very powerful – living and independent. It observes time and always arrives according to its invariable time table. The majority of people make plans for their future for distant and instant one. Today we plan for what we will do tomorrow. Tomorrow we will plan for what we will do in a week and so on. Planning your future organizing your division of time helps you stay organized and more or less prepared to tomorrow.

Change Management

· What is your value in the market?
· How can you market yourself?
· What is your brand?
· What is observed in you by the market?
· Are they observing you or trying to avoid you?
· Are you satisfied with yourself and your morality, if not you have some area of improvement?
· Review your old thoughts and start thinking a fresh.

All will start looking at you with surprise-allow them.
They will start criticizing - let them.

If what you are doing is good and does not harm anyone, then once it is completed you will be much more happy, healthy, wealthy and peaceful.

Observing this, those who criticize will make a mistake and by then this will be right.

The fault becoming right is CHANGE.
The lifeless fish will move with the flow and the live one will swim against current of flow.

In this way the change
· Initially will be ridiculed
· Then questioned
· Then criticized
· With great force it will be rejected
· And finally accepted

This is Change Management.

Father – Old and New, Is the Role Same?

In this world we address any lady as Mother, but we don’t address every man as Father except our Father.

In earlier days as Father entered the house, due to fear, all used to be silent. He was very loveable and at the same time was very highly respected. Yesterday, Father was a dictator and what he said has to be followed.

Today Father is a good friend and the one who corrects good and bad and puts the children on the right track. As he returns back the children go and fall on him and enquire what he has brought for them that day and is the one who paves the Golden Road for their future.

In the past the Father never used to have any role in bringing up the children and only used to take the role of heading the family. He used to be authoritative, dictate rules and regulations along with the discipline that the family had to observe.

In today’s situation of nuclear families both the husband and wife are forced to share the responsibility equally and accordingly Love and Responsibility are handled by father and Affection by Mother. But the posture, conduct and the discipline are taught only by Father. We should encourage our children to take opportunity and learn these from him as they will not be taught in any university or by any personality development expert in any institution as all these have been experienced by him during his life.

Today the children with the aspirations of their career and its growth are having very less time and are not caring to spare some time to spend with their parents. Some of them are moving out of the country leaving their parents alone in old age homes and the parents are experiencing the draught of affection in their life.

With greater importance to communication the communication gaps are increasing and it is questioning the human relation itself. This is leading to the lack of love and affection and we also observe this as get togethers are on the down trend.

It is very heart fully to observe how sincerely the parents crave for the welfare of their children.

Learn to Earn Money

In this world today only those who cannot earn money would come out and go on to declare:
· Do we have necessity for money
· Do we need money
· Is money life

Money is required for all as a Necessity in the form of basic needs such as Food, Clothing and Shelter (Roti, Kapada Aur Makan) then we can have Comfort with it and as far as Luxury is concerned sky is the limit.

Different ways to Earn Money:1. Win - Win Move – A writer brings out a book for publication for R.100, the reader purchases the book with an investment to gain the knowledge. If the book is to his satisfaction, it is a mutual win-win situation.
2. Selling the Dreams – During consultancy providing suggestions for Vastu or predictions with Astrology. Here what is sold is satisfaction as the buyer will not get any profit except self satisfaction.
3. Deceiving – There is a group of people who sell words which are not real, if one follows he will be deceived and finally at a loss thus the deceiver gets profit and the deceived will be completely at a loss.

Is Money Earning An Art?A section of people tell that earning money is an art and certain people can only do that but not all. Though it appears to be reasonable, it is not true.
The following four qualities are necessary for anyone to earn money:
1. Intelligence
2. Skill
3. Investment
4. Effort

There is lot of Money in the world now, what is essential for us is to know where to put the bait for it, is it in equity shares or real estate or should we establish an Educational Institution, or beauty parlor in a good location etc. Once we know this then start believing that Money is there.

Money Atmosphere - Beside the above criteria money atmosphere is a very essential resource. Because a deep insight is needed as to how money can be generated with generous views and generous utility and generous conduct.

We should develop liking for money. Suppose we are going along Abids and find huge multistoried buildings, instead of thinking all these people have deceived by some means and got money, start thinking if I am able to put in efforts I will also be able to build such multi storied buildings.

The most important point being, have less infatuation on money and have a strong liking for money. Stop thinking of money with infatuation and not contented even with corers of rupees and in the process due to your carelessness you spoil your heath.

Forthcoming success
Everyone has ample opportunities to achieve success monetarily physically mentally and morally. If one achieves the first one it’s only for him to channelize to achieve the other roles. If someone fails to achieve success to get money at a particular time, one should not get disappointed. Repeated trails with meaningful efforts lead to success. But a person does not realize this dictum.

It is important to earn money but it’s equally more important to utilize it. If it is properly utilized at a proper time in a proper context the satisfaction achieved is all the more high. Some earn money but they do not know how to utilize it. They can utilize it in social service for charitable trust or any other philanthropic purpose and there by derive self satisfaction.

Man has to realize and understand the difference between the life and living. To achieve this one needs to have 6 prosperities, they are Health, Fame, Money, Wisdom, Inquisitiveness and Love. Of this Money is one of them. The Man who achieves these will climb the ladder and reach the stage of Self Actualization.

Prosperity in 6 ways

You get an opportunity and are placed alone in a beautiful island with full greenery. You have no obligation of getting up early in the morning, to rush for work, there is no work to be done by you and accordingly there is no one to bother you about anything, you have all the leisure and go for an excellent bath in the waterfall and after that if you are a vegetarian you have plenty of fruits to eat and many tender coconuts to drink and if you are a non vegetarian you have the option to do fishing or hunt and prepare any dish etc. In this way you spend time eating fruits, sleeping in the afternoon and walk along the beach in the evening with no disturbance. Can anyone live alone happily in that island?
No, 99% will come back and one may stay only if he is not interested in life or has any other problem. If a pain occurs immediately we need doctor and hence Health is most important.
Man requires 6 prosperities of them 1st is Health. A Student requires 2 types of health, Physical and mental.

Health a) Physical health – It implies ill health, cleanness and tidiness. What parents do not teach to the students is cleaning up the bed as one wakes up, the brushing of the teeth and making them clean and having a good bath. As far as health is concerned experts world over predict that by the year 2020 in India 50% will suffer from diabetes, BP and renal failures. It is happening only because, as man got slowly transformed from monkey and in those days the monkey each day to get food used to travel 50 Km for which it used to jump from one tree to another and travel quit far, but today man does not even travel 200 yards leave alone 2 Km. When pancreas is not releasing sufficient quantity of insulin is leading to diabetes. Avoiding doctor is a major fortune. No one can do anything for disease such as cancer or aids, where as the rest of the 90% diseases are squarely due to our negligence.
b) Mental ill health – A peace of mind gives lot of ideas for constructive working. Lack of mental peace leads to worst disorder. The most unlucky of all are those who are not having interest in what they are doing. If as one goes to office he thinks why he needs to go to office, in the same way if a student thinks why he needs to go to school and a women why I need to go to kitchen they are all the most unfortunate ones. So for one to have good mental health
o One needs to have interest in what he is doing.
o One should know what are the advantages and disadvantages for what he is doing?
o Also one needs to know what is it that is making him lose interest in what he is doing?
For example one gets a problem in house and he carries that problem from home to office in his briefcase and if he thinks of only this problem then he cannot work. If one works with financial tension or any other type of worry he is considered to be not in good mental health.
So the very first prosperity to man is to have good health both physically and mentally.

FameFame is common to all but how one receives it may vary. A child just born has fame in the sense of his smile. A student in LKG who comes first has his fame as the teacher praises him. In this way the fame takes birth in every one. For some they do not have fame in their house and feel lonely. In another case the head of the family is away from home for more than 10 days and no one in the house bothers his absence. For some as they return back, the home which was sparkling with joy becomes suddenly silent with everybody attending to work. By seeing this he thinks that it is his fame, it is in fact not fame, but power which is exhibitive and unnatural. On the contrary a smiling and pleasant query keeps the home highly happy and adds to the good fame of the head of the family. Such fame is the 2nd prosperity.
Today after money man needs fame.

MoneyPeople may say what we will get with money? Money though gives comfort may not lead to happiness. If we say that we can be happy without money, how can one be happy with empty stomach? When we ask a student where will you build a house when you are 45 years we get answers such as I will build house in my native place. If we ask in continuation he would say 2 bed room for me and my children. Then if we question where will your parents be as they have fostered you, he would say I would have 4 bed room house. If I come what will you do, then he would say 5 bed room. So what is required is prior and necessary planning.
Earn money early and be free to live comfortably.

Wisdom Wisdom is the elixir of human life. Foolishness indicates the lack of wisdom which leads to difficulty as such knowledge on various aspects for pleasant living is necessary. In order to fool the conductor if you have purchased a ticket in spite of having student pass it is foolishness. To overcome this we need wisdom that comes to us in different forms. Knowledge is considered as ocean and with depth and magnitude of the ocean is highly desirable. Knowledge is unending but it is possible to learn continuously on many aspects.

Inquisitiveness What we do in island is eat, drink and sleep. We must have the eagerness to know what is going to happen tomorrow. But today’s generation has got accustomed to routine life. Such as brushing teeth, reading news paper, go to work and come back in the evening. Take the TV remote and keep shifting the channels and then say that this day has passed. For such people it is better to stay back in the island in the way described earlier.
If we don’t have that eagerness to know then there is no progress in life.

Love
This is the last and the most important prosperity in one’s life. To love is a virtue; to be loved is a boon; A few only experience it. Is it not where to see persons like Gandhi, Abdul Kalam & Nelson Mandela. Who have no personal interest but have lived for only others. We need to express love. As today the parents to children and children to parents have no time to express love.
This can be done through Thought, Word & Deed through words, actions and listening.

Conclusion
The one who achieves all these 6 prosperities will be on the Mount Everest and these individuals will be called as performers.
We have about 95% watchers and have only 5% performers.
So start performing from today.
