For society, success means having a nice car, a big house, power, position, or lots of money but to some success refers to pursuing things that make a lasting difference like your legacy, level of influence, helping people in need, or spending time with family.

Positive aspects of Lockdown

Introduction We all are stuck at our houses and waiting for two things a) completion of lockdown, b) vaccine of Coronavirus. But most of us are consuming non-stop news bulletins and counting the Worldwide death toll of the Corona Virus. Researchers have found that stress has a psychosomatic impact on us. We are consuming so many negative things throughout the day and hoping for a positive outcome but it's impossible. The capacity of our mind is very high as compared to our body. We need to keep ourselves positive in these difficult days. It is a fact that negative thinking reduces our immunity and positive thinking boosts our immunity. Corona will definitely go within one or two months' timespan but just think what we will tell our future generations. Do we tell them that we were in depression during Corona Scare ? or we will tell that we emanated positivity and motivated our family members to fight Corona during the lockdown. We have to understand that Corona Virus canno...

Warren Buffett: Top 10 Rules For Success Part 2

There was a story regarding a little sparrow in the jungle. She used to listen to the good thoughts of a spiritual teacher living in the jungle. One day there was a very big fire in the jungle and everyone was running from the jungle. Big and small animals were running away to save their lives. Suddenly they observed that little sparrow was flying far away from the jungle to take little water in her beak and trying to extinguish the fire of the jungle with that water. She had continued this for a while. Other animals started asking why she was doing so? does she become mad? She answered that whenever people will read the history of the jungle then I don't want to come in a list of animals who were just standing by or ran away. I want to come in a list of animals who tried their best to extinguish the fire. Similarly, we used to just stand and see how our career is getting doomed and do not take any concrete action. Warren Buffett is the kind of person who had tried his best ...

Extreme Motivation: Life of Theodore Roosevelt

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.

Jack Ma's most Important advice

Jack Ma, the founder of the Ali Baba group has a very inspirational story. Since the beginning, he had a never say die attitude. He faced so many rejections in his life that we might have given up if we were at his place. He failed five times during schooling and three times in the University Entrance exam. Jack Ma also applied for Harvard and got rejected ten times. He applied for a job in Police and even for KFC but got rejected everywhere. Now Jack Ma is one of the most influential and richest people on earth. He’s also one of the most powerful person in China. So what is his most important advice for all of us? That famous and most relevant advice of Jack Ma is “Instead of learning from other people’s success, learn from their mistakes. Most of the people who fail used to share common reasons to fail whereas success can be attributed to various different kinds of reasons.” Many times we concentrate on the success of others but never understand that success came after so many...

Impact of Games on Willpower

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 ...
