Reset, readjust, restart, refocus.As many times as you need to.
Just don't quit!
I never feared about my skills because I put in the work. Work ethic eliminates fear.
So if you put forth the work, what are you fearing? You know what you're capable of doing and what you're not.

You can achieve the unachievable!
Without having a goal it is difficult to score!
It is important to develop a complete disregard for the limits of your capabilities.
You can work for your dream company, you can run that company and you are capable of coming on the cover of Time magazine…nothing is impossible.
Remember, your vision of where or who you want to be is the greatest asset you have!
Every day, try to push your limits. Do this for small tasks and for your bigger long terms goals. Develop the ‘growth mindset’.
Every day try to convert your reactions to responses. Reactions are always instinctive, whereas responses are always well thought of, just and right to save a situation from going out of hands, to avoid cracks in relationship, to avoid taking decisions in anger, anxiety, stress or hurry.
Successful people are not people without problems; they are simply people who have learned to solve their problems by utilizing the powers of their minds.
We should realize that we have, deep within ourselves, deep pools of great ability, that can be tapped, if we’ll just dig deeply enough.
Celebrating the small wins is a great way to build confidence and start feeling better about yourself.
Emotions pull people towards you and the emotional engagements are generally very strong. Sharing your own emotions or emotional experiences/stories is a great way of making strong connections.
Sharing emotional experiences works wonders in connecting with people who are otherwise quite different.
No person is so worthless that he/she cannot help someone else. And everyone needs help…sometime.
Your next promotion, your next raise, your new job, your new relationship, your free sample or big discount, a better assignment…and much more might just be an ‘ask’ away!
Research shows that positive people are more likely to perform better on assigned tasks and are more likely to get favorable evaluations by supervisors.
Making a strong connection with people is never easy. It is even more difficult to connect with people who are very different from you.
There is no weakness in asking. If we wait for someone to give us what we want, chances are we might never get it.
However, we live in turbulent times, and it’s more important than ever that we learn how to open up dialogue and connect with people who are different from us.
Real growth and progress only happen when we drive ourselves outside of our comfort zones and learn how to embrace the truth and experiences of others.
Trying to focus your energy on identifying the things that are within your control and seeing what you can do about them help building self-esteem and confidence.
Take a 2-minute self-appreciation break every day - Slow down, take a break and answer this question: What are 3 things I can appreciate about myself?
Take the risk to ask for whatever you need and want. If someone says no, you will not lose anything. If someone says yes, you have a lot to gain.
Help others. When you help others, you help yourself!
A key criteria to be successful in any field is the desire to continually strive to be a better version of yourself. This is very different from the skill of accumulating and remembering facts which may helps in studies and in getting qualifications.
The mantra to continually improve is by seeking criticism and not praise.
If, instead of seeking approval, you ask, ‘What’s wrong with it? How can I make it better?’, you are more likely to get a truthful critical answer. These answers will help you in improving and becoming a better version of yourself. Constant critical evaluation is key to constant improvement.
Every day, try to think of 10 possible ways in which the key activities that fills your day can be improved. You will not always get 10, but even one idea is good.
The core thing in this world that can make you successful in life is your mind, your effective use of it, and your follow-through on the good ideas it generates you.
We must keep in mind that we have limited time, and it is not wise to waste your time doing the wrong thing.
Self-created obstacles often bar our way to accessing our inner wealth of knowledge and wisdom. Accessing our intuition requires welcoming it.
Gratitude is strongly and consistently associated with greater happiness. Gratitude helps people feel more positive emotions, relish good experiences, improve their health, deal with adversity, and build strong relationships.
More often than not, the secret of success lies in the very basic the very small wins. The small, consistent and disciplined steps lead to big successes.
It is a good time to remind ourselves that everything begins with a thought!
We will need more of mental resilience; innovation, creative thinking and social connect to overcome and thrive post the COVID19 outbreak crisis.
The unprecedented COVID19 disruptions have made these basics even more relevant and critical for success in life and at work.
To experience a crisis is to live in a world that is momentarily up for grabs. This book will help you in preparing yourself to grab the best opportunities and thrive in the post COVID19 outbreak era.
COVID19 will have a deep and lasting impact on the world we live in. Our world will get clearly divided into two eras – Pre COVID19 and Post COVID19 era.
No one knows exactly what will come, but one things is certain, our society—government, healthcare, the economy, our lifestyles and more—will change fundamentally and forever.
As everything we do in this world, be it work, business, politics or relationships, it is through humans, and we may still be successful if we understand and use the basic laws governing human nature and behavior to our advantage.
We also must realize that we are now living in the most uncertain times of our lives. Things are changing at a very rapid pace and we do not have much control on what is going on around us. Probably the only thing we can still control in our mind and thoughts.
In the times of uncertainties, it is best to focus on ‘what we can control’ and just drop ‘what we can’t control’.
Mental strength will be the biggest key to success in post COVID19 outbreak era.
All that we humans have achieved until now be it our space outreach or the most advanced automation, it is due to the power of our minds.
In good times as well as in bad times, the basics of success remains the same. When you are caught up in the rat race and totally immersed in chasing your goals, it is highly likely that you might be missing the very basics that will define your success.
Mindset is the most important factor for success in any sports.
Cricket is a game that lends itself very well to periods of introspection, particularly if you are a batsman and you get out early on in the innings. Then you have to just sit and watch others for a considerable amount of time.
Focus on good things, however small; find humor in difficult situations; fill your day with positive affirmations.
Negative thinking and negative emotions have their importance: they sharpen your focus on dangers, threats, and vulnerabilities. This is critical for our survival.
On the other hand, positive thinking and positive emotions “broaden and build” our resources and skills, and open us up to possibilities of growth and development.
Building a positive mindset is not about being effervescent and annoyingly cheerful, but making an investment in yourself and your future.
It’s okay to feel down or think pessimistically sometimes, but choosing to respond with optimism, resilience, and gratitude will benefit you far more in the long run.
Everything starts with a Thought!
Most of the thoughts are not yours but from your parents, your teachers, your friends, the books, the movies, the television, the newspapers.
You are much more than what you think you are.
There are invaluable insights and lessons to be learnt when you open up to different perspectives.
In business and in life, at times it becomes a must to just drop the burden.
Set aside an hour every day to think and reflect without distractions.
The Golden rule is if we asked for more and negotiate with more confidence, we would get more.
Most of us carry loads on ourselves that we really don’t need to carry.
Stop Being Incremental! If your system no longer delivers the results you want, don’t go for incremental changes, instead go for complete transformation.
Businesses around the world are reaching the edges of incremental change. For future success, constant small improvements may no longer be enough. This is the time to re-create!
Small changes or stretching a bit more on your tested models may not help you sustain the success you enjoyed in the past.
At times the original model may be at fault given the new set of environmental factors that are in place.
In business, non-challenging goals lead us to non-creative solutions. Our goals need to be challenging enough to get us thinking creatively.
If you constantly focus on doing things, you will certainly miss better way of doing things and better opportunities that might show up. This happens because when you are caught up in action you miss looking at the bigger picture.
Make it a habit to set some quiet and peaceful time to reflect and think on a daily basis.
Engage in something on a daily basis, which helps you drop your burdens and rejuvenates your mind.
Successful people negotiate more often and more successfully than those who are not successful.
Often we are held back by the fear of competition, disapproval and dislike.
Understand the power of asking. Make asking a habit!
When a market condition changes or a competitive environment changes, those things are outside our control. But what we must control is our attention to them.
In the era where artificial intelligence and algorithms make more decisions in our lives and in organizations, the time has come for people to tap into their intuition as an adjunct to today’s technical capabilities. Our inner wisdom can embed empirical data with humanity.
Knowledge Strategy Execution
Motivation is a byproduct of action, not the catalyst for it.
Control your thoughts or your thoughts will control you.
Today is a new day. Stop living in the past.
Focus on the step in front of you, not the whole staircase.
You attract what you are, not what you want. If you want great, then be great.
Your goals should scare you a little and excite you a lot.
