Turn Success into Failure Imagine success as a tenth ladder. The nine of the rungs are going to be failures and only the tenth one will lead you to eventual success. But does that mean, the first nine are a waste of time? Success is composed of nine parts failure and one part success. It's like the tip of the Iceberg that everyone can see while the actual mass of the Iceberg stays submerged, is the base of the Iceberg called success which is actually the long-term effort that went into achieving it. You are accumulated along the way, and persistence should happen when things go sideways on the path to your goal. One of the best ways to change your attitude towards failure is to get to know about people who have gone through it. Some of my favourite examples include:  J.K. Rowling, in her Harvard commencement address, Rawling talks about the fringe benefits of failure. Among them, she mentions her feeling as left her feet to pursue what she really wanted. However, she gave herself

The writer approached the title from the general point of view that the terms 'winners and losers' do not deserve the importance given to them by the world. He goes on to argue that it is not important to win or to lose. Also, he relates that the terms are not always correctly used. Winners may be losers while losers may actually be winners. This is an unusual way to look at the terms. We may not agree with the views, but must admit that the points are well argued. A casual look at the world reveals that there is competition everywhere. This is evident in every area of life – ranging from games to work. There seems to be one mad rush everywhere where we try to work. Often, it does not matter who perishes why we succeed or lose. It does not matter who loses as long as it is not we who lose. This mad rush in every area of life divides the world into winners and losers. almost everyone is categorised as one or the other; to be admired for despising; to be befriended or to be ostra

This is a very simple story about how the protagonist took his old active nephew to an amusement park. The opposing force is Gary and the problem for the hero is how he was going to keep Gary amused so as not to be blackmailed by him. We see the hero suffering at every stage but he survives a sudden change in his opinion about the Little Tyrant that took place at the end of the story. In fact, it ends with some tenderness first of the gentle humor as a Spice to the story. A visit to an amusement park.  Gary was Evil personified. I had realized that long ago, even then, I had not realized the extent to which you would go. At five years old he was the youngest blackmailer I had ever known. He pointed to something through the window first of a proposed cautious to see what he was pointing at. In the distance for the Ferris Wheel. I had no intention of going to the Hog and amusement park that afternoon and said so. Then he sprang his surprise: " If you don't take me, I will tell

  An Unsuccessful Shopping Trip As usual in my family, our grandmother assumed the role of leader when it came to Deepavali shopping. The reason was very simple: she had the first strings-literally. We sat around and rolled out a two page shopping list. Grandmother and youth sitting there concentrating intensely with her glasses balanced on the tip of her nose. She wrote slowly and that gave us a lot of time to think carefully. “Sunday,” announced the Grand Old Lady. When we finished and looked at my sister, the designated driver for all expeditions. My sister nodded and beamed her usual ear-to-ear grin. Finally, we arrived and we were excited at least 4:00 p.m. approached and were dressed and ready to out before. As they would be in the wake, my grandmother decided not to take our parents along. " they are too old-fashioned," declared Grandma. We agreed. Shopping with Grandma would be more fun and we look forward to it. Our parents were likely to look for the ‘cheapest and t

Impact of Senior Citizen On society When a new committee is elected for an organization, a wise organization assures that the chairperson of the secretary belongs to the retiring committee set.The reason for this is obvious: there needs to be continuity. When the new committee runs against a snag the members from the old committee will usually be happy to share their experience. The case is similar with grandparents. They ensure that there is continuity in the family. They are the links to the past. They remember when life is simpler and can belt out advice based on experience rather than from theory. Whereas, knowledge and all sorts of technology is available from books and consultants, such simple things like taking a woman to a hospital for delivery is known only through experience then when inserted adept at this type of knowledge.   Grandparents are the Guardians of wisdom. What they are able to share with the younger generation such as their grandchildren is the wisdom of having

Many people spend a great deal of energy arguing for their own limitations; “I can't do that,” “I can't help it, I’ve always been that way,” “I will never have a loving relationship,” and thousands of other negative and self-defeating statements. Our minds are powerful instruments. When we decide that something is true or beyond our reach, it's very difficult to pierce through this self-created hurdle. When we argue for our position it's nearly impossible. Suppose, for example, you tell yourself, “I can't write.” You’ll look for example, to prove your position. You’ll remember your poor essays in high school, or recall how awkward you felt that last time you sat down to write  a letter. You’ll fill your head with limitations that will frighten you from trying. In order to become a writer or anything else, the first step is to resilience your greatest critic - you. What is the first step towards the greatest critic? Resilience Aloud Listen Scream Who is your greatest

Choose your battles wisely is a popular phrase in parenting but is equally important in living a contented life. It suggests that life is filled with opportunities to choose between making a big deal out of something or simply letting it go, realizing it doesn’t really matter. If you choose your battles wisely, you’ll be far more effective in winning those that are truly important. Certainly there will be times when you will want or need to argue, confront, or even fight for something you believe in. Many people, however, argue, confront and fight over practically anything, turning their lives into a series of battles over relatively ‘small stuff’. There is so much frustration in living this type of life that you lose track of what is truly relevant.  The tiniest disagreement or glitch in your plans can be made into a big deal if your goal (concious or unconscious) is to have everything work out in your favor. In my book, this is nothing more than a prescription for unhappiness and fru

A growing trend amongst travellers is the usage of e-books. The question is that is this trend just a passing fancy or here for good? E-books have a number of attractions. Some of them are free, some can be downloaded at a lower price which is an added advantage because money saved can be utilized on other things. Time and hassle can be saved by avoiding trips to bookshops. Books can be bought and paid, for at home. Moreover, storage space can be saved. While travelling the reader can carry the entire library instead of having to choose a few books. E-books are a boon for those who are short sighted or have vision issues, for the size of the print can be increased and hence they can avoid having to squint or not being able to read at all. Lights can also be attached to the e-readers to facilitate reading. Users can also add personal touch to their readers by buying covers of their choice. Moreover, teachers and parents who feel that children do not develop reading habits may hope that
