Napoleon Hill once said, “ The only limitation is that which one sets up in one’s own mind.” Srinivas Ramanujan proved this quote true. Srinivas Ramanujan, the person who knew infinity, was a common village boy with unlimited potential. He didn’t get any professional training from any mathematician but he was a self-trained person. He was born on December 22, 1887, in a Tamil family. His contribution to mathematics is unmatched and will be remembered always. He died at a young age of 32 but he had given so much to the field of mathematics that if he had lived 10-20 years more then he might have surpassed the achievements of Einstein or Newton. We can measure the talent of Ramanujan by knowing facts like he used to solve college-level mathematics problems during schooling, at the age of thirteen he learned advanced Trigonometry and in his life of mere Thirty Two years, he invented 3900+ equations. But during his lifetime he continuously faced challenges as he failed in exams because...

Great people are not born but they make their life great. Similarly many times we also get a chance to prove ourselves but we step back and think we are not capable enough. We must remember here that great people also were like us but they decided to take their life in their hands and had given their best. Today we will read more about the youngest ever president of the US, a recipient of Medal of Honour and a winner of Nobel Peace Prize. He had written more than 30 books during his life. He was also America’s first brown belt in judo. He’s none other than Mr. Theodore Roosevelt. Let’s read more about his inspirational life and how he had achieved so much. He was born on October 27, 1858, and since childhood, he was very weak and never went to school due to medical problems and hence he had done homeschooling. His father was worried about his son’s future. Subsequently, Theodore Roosevelt started going to his father's personal gym regularly and made his body fit. After his co...

According to a study conducted at Stanford Unversity by Dr. Veronica Jobs, just as we fill fuel in the car to run it. The willpower works in the same way, it keeps us motivated all day. As we cannot fill fuel in a car beyond a certain limit, we have willpower in a limited amount. Whenever we wake up in the morning we used to have 100% will power but we use that will power while doing unnecessary things and feel demotivated when tough situations come. There are many students and professionals who feel very less will power even before ending their day. On the other side, we have people who used to stay motivated throughout the day. Let's understand how those people maintain their higher motivation and there are no magic secrets. Researchers explain how playing video games in excessive amounts drain our willpower. To prove this point Stanford University conducted a study where few students were divided into two groups and one group was provided with exciting video games. On the ...

When we talk about the greatest philosophers of all time then we remember Chanakya, Socrates, etc but most people do not know anything about Vidur. Vidur was one of the famous philosophers of his time. He was a servant's son and hence he didn't become the king. But because of his intelligence, he became Prime Minister of Hastinapur. His teachings are called Vidur Neeti and his teachings are so much relevant even in today's times. Let us study some of his teachings in detail. 1) Talk less and listen more: Person with good listening skills is appreciated everywhere and the person who boasts about himself more is criticized everywhere. The same thing is being taught In every B school today. There is also an analogy that when we speak then we just repeat our knowledge but when we listen then we will get new knowledge. 2) Five things always give us happiness: i) Getting money, ii) Better health, iii) obedient child, iii) loving wife/husband, iv) knowledge. The person rema...

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 ...

Do you know there was a time when basic services were provided on the basis of skin color? White people used to get better facilities as compared to black people. This problem was there in most of the countries but it was worst in South Africa where 70% of people were blacks and most of the services were performed by Africans but still they used to get the worst facilities. The racial difference was there since time immemorial but it got worse when the National Party in 1948 decided to create separate places for Blacks and Whites. But due to the persistent efforts of Mr. Nelson Mandela, this differentiation ended. However, that was not easy as Mandela spent 27 years of his life in prison due to this movement. Let us know more about Mr. Mandela. He was a son of a tribal leader and his original name was Rolihlahla Mandela and later became the first Black president of South Africa. He also won Bharata Ratna and Nobel peace prize. He was a great orator and a true Gandhian. So what wa...
