Life is neither fair ... nor unfair .....

Is Life Fair : Vaidyanathan makes me speak / LbnRaj

The way I am beginning to respond to the ideas of Vaidyanathan may seem funny, but the issue of getting a question to answer haunts me often.  Many a time we have lots of answers … but hardly get to face questions.  May be, questions are always there, as are the answers for all of us.  As most of you may agree I search for questions for which I seem to think I have answers.  The other way round, I seem to have many questions, I don't know whom to ask, where to ask and how to ask.  I think most of all of our lives in a day revolves around this dilemma.  Am I making any sense?

Now back to Speaking Tree, frankly speaking I subscribe to Times of India for reading Speaking Tree and Sacred Space of the Centre page of TOI … and then glance through other pages as and when I feel like.  Now , when I introspect myself …. I look forward for the best answers for the most difficult questions on existence from the  best of the thinkers / scholars.  At the same time I constantly think that I have lot of answers for these typical unthinkable questions.  May be I unconsciously look forward to see others  and read others who think alike and write alike.  May be others write before I pen.  At times I feel amazed at myself how close I am to best of scholars and their thinking.  This is human nature … we only understand what we know…. We can only appreciate what we like and know.  A thing, thought or feeling that is talked about deliberated by best of scholars however easy or tough it is, cannot go into heads if we don't know about it / that.  What I want to say is , every one of us know every ting … we only revisit our thinking when others speak, say, or lecture.  Hoe I make sense in what I am trying to say.  The thing that we cannot identify is neither meaningful nor meaningless.  We like sweet …. Because we know the taste of sweet before we had it for the first in our life.  Every thing is already known to every one by birth.
Now the question of Vaidyanathan, "Is life Fair or Unfair"…. This haunts every one so often … may be one does not stop seriously to give a thought to ones state of mind later on, on that moment.  Yes life is not perfect, I say this knowing what this perfectness means.  As a child as a high school boy I cam across my friends, classmates …. Copying in the examinations … I used to pity, them as I could not convince them.  More disappointing was that their parents, brothers, sisters used to be so organized to assist the boy / girl in copying.  Now when years passed by , the same boy or the girl gets admitted to best of professional courses / get best of jobs … I felt dejected, I was left confused.  Now again often some years I find the same boy / girl in the VIP positions (Sound both by wealth and qualifications and even knowledge) and lecturing on morals and on how bad it is to copy in the examinations.  May be they have forgotten what they did … may be they are more practical … may be they have repented … may be nothing of this sort…. AND MAY BE THIS IS THE NATURE'S WAY.  May be life is not Fair.  Vaidyanathan's  concluding words are eye openers …. "While life may seem unfair, if things changed as per every individual's desires and wishes, imagine the chaos and confusion that would result.  In a matter of few days, the world would come to the end.  The apparent unfairness that we see is indeed for continuity.

Yes, life is neither fair nor unfair, life is neither perfect nor imperfect.  Life is what it exists like.  Life exists without our consent … the way it is … and more real could be that life exists and continues in tune with laws of nature!  Search for questions for which you have answers … it is amazing … it is worth your time spent on it! Wonder! You will know that you have lots and lots of answers … if you know how to come closer to questions, …. Have an open mind …. Introspect …. Meditate … you will find a treasure of questions and answers within yourself !!!!!

But d’you know what matters? Not that you do better than everyone else, but that you do as best as YOU can. And that’s within reach of every single one of us”. -Dr.Mani Sivasubramaniam (Source : http://www.entrepreneurs-journey.com/8747/how-to-be-the-best-at-everything-you-do/ …….. Accessed on November 8, 2011)

"One is comparing yourself with everyone else in your universe, and engaging in a futile struggle to be 'better' than them. The other is only looking within at yourself – and asking "Did I give it my all? Could I have done more?"
Look, in the ultimate analysis, there is only so much you, me, or anybody else can do. We all come with our built-in limitations, restrictions and boundaries. No matter how eager and determined he is, a man without legs cannot win the world high jump competition, and a lady without eyesight can't shoot brilliant world-class photographs.

"Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did.

"Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle."

“Why do only few people reach the pinnacle of their fields and make a name for themselves? What is it that sets them apart from others?

"Why do only few people reach the pinnacle of their fields and make a name for themselves? What is it that sets them apart from others? They all succeed because they have a very strong spiritual line...... Strengthen your spiritual line and become best in your field.... The stronger your spiritual line, the less you will get affected by situations and people around. Your action/ reaction compartment will become smaller and smaller. By reacting to situations and people "karm bandhan" are increased........ Pranam teaches to 'act not react'...... Increase spiritual strength by working on yourself so that goals can be reached effortlessly(smoothly), joyfully and blissfully"… Pranam. – Meena Om (http://www.speakingtree.in/meena.om/blog/The-spirituality-of-Success )

Nature’s way of rewarding

Nature's way of rewarding
The strength of one's efforts lies in one's conviction in self-capacity.  Self-confidence ought to , ideally, surpass one's faith in any other.  , be it a deity or person.  Embarking on anything new involves existing one's comfort zone for this zone becomes bondage.  It raises imaginary fears of failure that stymie the will to rise and go forward. … The paradox of a no-alternative mindset is that it opens up alternatives within us.  We become aware of facets within that we never knew existed. …. Serendipity and help from unexpected quarters are nature's way of rewarding courage and conviction to the traveler who chooses to take the plunge. – Deepak Ranade/Reaching the point of No return.-Speaking Tree.- Times of India, November 2, 2011.

Democratising Leadershing studies : A review of Sangeeth Verghese’s book, ‘Decide to Lead’ by Rajashekhar Devarai

Democratising Leadershing studies : A review of Sangeeth Verghese's book, 'Decide to Lead' by Rajashekhar Devarai (lotus5673@yahoo.co.in)
November 1
2011
The Book 'Decide to Lead' is an unusual kind of a reading by Sangeeth Varfghese a Leadership Thinker from London School of Economics.  He has Started 'Leadcap' what is popularly committed to democratize leadership thinking in India.  The beauty of  the deliberation is that it is different from the popular presentations on the phenomenon of Leadership.  It draws on popular fables, a biography and a set of quotations.  It is quite an unique style of Sangeeth in explaining what makes a Leaders.  The contents of the book could be summarized by the five steps and nine decisions that puts forth. : 1. Take the Lead : First decision : Answer the deciding moment, 2. Rally a Vision : Second Decision : Bye low and sell high, Third Decision : Embrace high risks to reap high Returns, Fourth Decision : Focus sharper to impact Greater, 3.  Communicate and Motivate : Fifth Decision : Sell well to Do well, Sixth Decision : Set high expectations to gain high performance, 4. Deliver Results : Seventh Decision : Grow to Survive, Eighth Decision : Run to Win, 5. Lead for ever : Ninth Decision : Live on to Leave a Legacy. ……………… It is a good read to  for any one who is all out to do something significant, who is bent upon creating a difference.  Some  or the other I am sure one has read this book once will return back to read the book once again., somewhere some times.  Let us decide,  let us resolve to be democratic in sharing Leadership Thinking.  Best wishes, enkindle the Leader in you. – Rajashekhar Devarai, Chief Librarian, Asian School of Business Management, Bhubaneswar.

Access The 'Back-Door' Of Your Mind

Are you still smoking, overweight, low on energy, unable to find that special someone?...

Are you overworked and underpaid, stressed out all the time, or cursed with little self confidence?...
What if I told you there was a way you could solve these problems (and more) with only a click of one button, sitting right there in front of your computer, would you be interested?

Imagine with me for a moment you are having some problem in your life, whether it's an addiction to food or drugs, depression over the loss of a loved one, financial insecurity, whatever it might be...

Now here you are sitting down at your computer. You flip the switch on a little piece of software, pinpoint the exact change you want to make in your life, then you hit the "start" button.

That's it.

From that point forward, you work on your computer as you always have and in the background that software is silently running, causing you to magically change for the better, working on the specific problem area you want to change most -- then changing it for you without you lifting a finger.

Sounds too good to be true, I realize. But before you go clicking the "back" button, let me assure you this is not some fairy tale. This software is the real deal, and if you'll open your mind with me for the next few minutes I will show you how it can work for you just like it's worked for countless others.

  I was skeptical just like you once, but my problems far outweighed my doubt...
Just a few short years ago, I was winning at life. I had a healthy daily routine which involved exercise and eating right, along with a fulfilling career.

One tragic life event later and I'm looking in the mirror at an overweight, pack and a half per day smoker with little confidence who's not so thrilled with his life anymore.

I desperately needed a change.

So I started searching the Internet and buying up all the "self help" material I could find, but each "method" I tried ended with little or no results.

Throughout my trials and frustrations I learned some important facts:

Each cigarette I smoked reduced my life by an average of 11 minutes!

Over HALF of long-term smokers will die a tobacco related death!

Over 70% of Cardiovascular disease is directly related to obesity!

Stress is the #1 KILLER of middle-aged adults!

To my despair, I realized I was headed down a dark and destructive path. But instead of turning to cigarettes and food to ease my pain, I made a vow to change.

They say when we make a true commitment the right people, places, and events fall magically into place, and that's exactly what happened for me.

Fast forward a few months later and I was given the privilege to learn about hypno-therapy and the power of the subconscience mind. Over the weeks to come I learned ways to program myself and my thinking that resulted in dramatic positive change across every aspect of my entire life.

First and foremost I was able to quit smoking. I lost over 60 pounds and I was exercising again. I was in a new and exciting relationship, my career was taking off, things couldn't have been better.

From the outside looking in, life was a box of chocolates. But for some reason I still wasn't completely happy and fulfilled. It's as though no matter how hard I tried, there was still something missing.

Then it hit me. In order for me to truly be happy, I had to reach out and help other people, giving back all that I had learned. For once in my life I was on a mission:

To create the ultimate program that would entwine the mystery of hypno-therapy and the power of the subconscience mind in such a
way that ANYONE truly could change ANY area of their life...
...once and for all -- with no gimmicks, just results!

And that's what I did.

But unlike "therapy", I am talking about a different approach to therapy, a backdoor to the mind...

Allow me to introduce the Hypno-Doctor and how this simple program can bypass the conscious mind and DIRECTLY ACCESS the subconscious mind with ...Subliminal Technology!!!
Like magic you will easily be able to:

      Learn how you can quit smoking and lose weight at the same time.

      Dramatically increase your energy level without using harmful drugs.

      Short circuit any craving you're having...chocolate, cigarettes, doesn't matter!

      Discover insider secrets to creating financial freedom for yourself and your family.

      Get more dates than ever before without even trying.

      Quickly melt away stress and enjoy life, effortlessly, watch it disappear.

      Become the smartest person you know by increasing your IQ up to 20 points.

      Discover how happy married couples stay connected to each other on a new level.

      Learn how to double your productivity by cutting your study time in half.

      Have "the best" night's sleep you've ever experienced, waking up more revitalized.

      Finally have peace of mind by silencing the inner voice of negativity.

      Make one tiny little change that can help you regain control of your life.
