Saudia Flight 163 was a flight that used to regularly fly between Karachi to Jeddah. 19 Aug 1980 was a normal day for that flight and pilots completed the first leg of the journey at Riyadh. In the second leg, the flight had to start from Riyadh and it started normally. Soon after takeoff, pilots observed the smoke in the compartment and decided to go back to Riyadh for an emergency landing. The flight with 287 passengers and 14 crew onboard landed successfully at Riyadh Airport. But all of the passengers and crew died just because of smoke even after taking successful emergency landing. Similarly many times we used to ruin our life even after starting our career well. There are certain personalities who always inspire us to excel in life. Bruce Lee is one such person who achieved so much in life at a very early age. If we think about speed or Martial Art then his name used to come in our mind. He died at a very young age of 32 but what he had done in such a short time is really ...

We all have goals in our life, and we used to work on those goals consistently. But while working on our goals we forget about ourselves. BMW is a dream of many people but very few people concentrate on true BMW to become successful enough to buy a BMW. So what does this BMW mean? It stands for Body, Mind, and Words and we must control these things in a positive way to achieve amazing results. Let us understand these things in detail: Body: It's very bad when the situation demands and we feel very tired. Successful people know that their physical well being is very important and hence if you will see successful people around, you can expect they are keeping their good physical well being. They do not want their illness or injury to impact their success path and hence they do certain very important things like a) They do regular exercise to ensure that they will never feel tired easily b) proper eating schedule: Successful people enure that they will consume fewer sugars and ...

Have you heard of a person who ate chappatis made on burning bodies in a cemetery? Yes, there exists a woman who lived in that condition and yet helped 1200+ orphan children to achieve their dreams. Her name is Sindhutai Sapkal, and she faced challenges throughout her life, and she faced those challenges in a great way. She got married at the age of 9 and her husband was 20 years older than her. Her in-laws were not good and they used to beat her and one day her husband beat her so much that she became unconscious. Her husband dragged her to the cowshed when she was unconscious and untied all cows. At that time Sindhutai was pregnant and gave birth to a child in the cowshed. In one of Sindhutai's interviews, she explained how she had broken the umbilical cord by hitting a stone nine times. She left her home immediately and reached a railway station. Sindhutai started singing so that the passenger will give her some money. She faced so many challenges that one day she decided t...

ISRO's plan to soft-land Chandrayaan's Vikram lander on the south pole of the moon failed at the terminal stage of the project. This is not the first failure of the organization and definitely not the last one also. There are several learnings from the failure of ISRO. We also used to face failure when success seems very near. We used to get disappointed due to those failures and just stop working towards success. There's also a great story " Three feet from Gold" and you can read it here . It very neatly explains how we stop trying after temporary failures and miss our goal just by three feet. Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam explained how he faced failure in 1979 and how he learned to fight failures by that particular incident. He was a mission director of the Satellite Launch Vehicle project at ISRO. His mission was to put the vehicle into the orbit. Thousands of scientists worked for the project for more than 10 years. At the launch site in Sriharikota, the time was ...

We generally give up when we face tough situations in our life. So today we will discuss never give up attitude. This story is about a boy who went to the West during the Goldrush. He does not know anything about gold mining but he knew that he wanted to get rich. Gold Rush: Goldrush is a new discovery of gold or sometimes accompanied by other precious metals. Major Gold rushes took place during the nineteenth century in Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa, and the United States. The boy took money from other villagers and bought some machinery to start mining. Initially, he found gold and made some profit. But as time passed he faced challenges in mining the gold.

London is 5 hours ahead of New York but it does not mean that New York is slow, or that London is fast. They are working based on their own "Time Zone." Someone may be unmarried now, someone else may marry now and wait for 10 years to have a baby and yet another may get a baby within one year of marriage. Someone may become CEO at the age of 17 and die at 40 and another one becomes CEO at the age of 69 and may live until 90. If you will look around, then you will find that many people are ahead of you and many are behind you. Everyone is running at his own pace hence we must not get jealous of other's success and yet not become complacent if we find many people behind us. Also, remember that Obama got retired at 55 and Trump resumed office at the age of 70. Hold on and be strong, all things shall work together for you and please understand that you are running at your own pace. Just try to improve day by day. I had read somewhere, at the age of 19 we wonder wha...

Let us first know what famous people said about criticism: Abraham Lincoln : “Don’t criticize them; they are just what we would be under similar circumstances”. Confucious : " Don't complain about the snow on the roof of the neighbors if your door is unclean". Benjamin Franklin : " Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain - and most fools do". Lets us read a story of Francis Crowley or popularly known as "Two-Gun" Crowley. He was a serial murderer of New York and he also robbed a New Rochelle Bank. On the day he was encountered by New York Police he was enjoying at his girlfriend's home. 300 policemen surrounded the building and bullet started flowing from both sides but when Crowley identified that his bullets are finishing, he had written a letter. In that letter, he had written that " Yes he knows that he is a killer, but he has a kind heart under his coat, a heart that does no harm". Yes, you read it correctly he identifi...

All of us face failures at some moment in our lives. Most of us feel that those moments are the most painful moments but Chanakya had a totally different view. Let us first know something about Chanakya. He was a Professor at Ancient Nalanda University and also a chancellor of Taxila University. Chandragupta Maurya, a very poor person, was able to become king of a Great Mauryan Empire just because of the wisdom and guidance of Chanakya. Chanakya also failed several times and when he got defeated by the mighty army of the Nanda Dynasty then he told below words to his army: He told his army that decision is with them if they want they can live their whole life with this defeat or they can bounce back and prepare better to defeat enemy next time. He always believed that failure is temporary and we can win anytime in our life. A defeated person can anytime prepare for the victory. A person is not defeated when he lost the competition but he loses when he in his mind accept his failu...
