3 Albert Einstein Quotes That Can Accelerate Your Success

Quote # 1: "The only real valuable thing is intuition."

Intuition cannot be bought. It is inherent in each one of us and can only be honed through experience. Unfortunately, not a lot of people listen to their intuition. And perhaps even a larger number don't even believe they have one.

But Einstein, a man of science, believes in a person's gut feel. When torn between two decisions, it is important to listen to that nagging feeling inside of you.

Intuition has saved a lot of people from danger. And if yours is nudging you to go a certain direction, there's no harm in trying that out, right?

Quote # 2: "We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."

As unusual as this success quote sounds, it does tell the truth. Stubborn people, for example, get themselves stuck in a situation by not listening to the advice of others.

Instead of remaining stubborn all throughout the ordeal, why not take someone's word for a change and try a different approach?

Stubbornness will not get you anywhere. Einstein recognizes the importance of flexibility. If you want to achieve success, you'll need to adopt that same flexibility as well.

Quote # 3: "Imagination is more important than knowledge."

This is one of my favorite inspirational quotes. After all, you cannot always live life by the book. You'll have to be as creative as you can to make every day of your life more meaningful.

Life's problems cannot always be solved by equations either. Sometimes, it takes a touch of creativity to help you get to the bottom of things.

Einstein was truly a man who had a lot to share. With this set of Albert Einstein quotes, I hope you feel a renewed drive to succeed in whatever field you choose.

1 Indian = 2 Japanese?????

There are many people who claim Indians are intelligent people and some even claim 1 Indian brain is equal to those of 2 japanese....

But this claims make me more skeptical about what we do as Indians to our nation?????? We do speak well and argue a lot but when it comes to action we are yet to show to the world 'what we are actually capable of' (it includes even me). India aspires to be a super power by 2020(thanks to lead Mr.Kalam), but are we fully equipped to change our mindset in order to meet the goal???

We are yet to produce a Google, a Microsoft, or a Michael Phelps.....

When there are lot of Research and Development activities going on in Japan, we here are not ready to take the risk in R & D or neither we apply what we actually read in our college or School....To be honest our Education System now is a barrier to produce many scientists, inventors, or great Sports persons......We have been forced to be on a safer side...

It would be happy if we can achieve what all we claim and prove to the world that India is indeed a great Power...After all this nation has got more number of youths than any other...what force other than this we require to fulfill our vision??

So friends let us introspect....

All the best....

Great Saying from Ramana Maharishi

அவரவர் பிராரப்துப்பிரகாரம் அதற்கானவன்
ஆங்காங்கு இருந்து ஆட்டுவிப்பன்;
என்றும் நடவாதது என் முயற்சிக்கினும் நடவாது ,
நடப்பது என் தடை செய்யினும் நில்லாது ;
இதுவே திண்ணம்; ஆகலின்
மௌனமாய் இருக்கை நன்று !..


- பகவான் ரமண மகரிஷி

I regard this as a greatest quote of all time....

How to Avoid Conflict in the Workplace

l. ZIP IT.

Learn to think before you speak. Bite your tongue before that provocative remark comes out of your mouth and you find yourself embroiled in a fight.


2. SIT, WAIT, THINK AND ACT WHEN CORRECT.
Whenever you have issues in the workplace, you're better off thinking through your words before you voice complaints, thoughts or suggestions. Whether you're a business owner, supervisor, manager or employee, the workplace can sometimes become a tinderbox for conflict.


3. LISTEN, DON'T DISPUTE.
Sometimes your manager needs to tell you how disappointed he is with you. Sometimes your co-worker needs to go on a diatribe about how you "neglect" him. Sometimes your employee needs to express his or her resentment about the way you've treated them. You can't argue with feelings. Listen when your co-workers, managers, or employees express strong feelings. Rather than argue and try to insist that they shouldn't be feeling what they're feeling, understand that they ARE feeling that way and simply say, "I'm sorry you feel that way." Try to put yourself in their shoes and give them the empathy that you would want yourself. Arguing may only make a situation worse.


4. DOCUMENT, DOCUMENT AND DOCUMENT AGAIN.
Rule No. 3 having been followed, make sure you protect yourself with thorough documentation of any potentially volatile situation. This rule applies to people on both sides of the power structure. A smart employee as well as a smart manager will document issues that relate to self-preservation and the protection of job security.


5. GOOD FENCES MAKE FOR GOOD WORK RELATIONSHIPS Create boundaries and set limits in the workplace. Know how much contact you can take and how much will ignite your internal nuclear bomb. Also, keep in mind that you don't know which one of your co-workers will be easily ignited, offended or wounded; another reason why keeping clear, but cordial, boundaries is another way of protecting and preserving yourself.


6. CORDIALITY AND FRIENDLINESS
Having vowed to create appropriate boundaries, make every effort to be cordial and friendly. Ask co-workers and supervisors about how they are; notice changes in their appearance in a complimentary way; comment upon the quality of their (good) work. Being popular can only make work life easier.


7. THOU SHALT NOT OVERREACT. EVER.
When co-workers feel neglected, they often will create a scenario that invites your overreaction. Overreactions cause all out wars and can get you fired. Don't do it! Assess a dispute with your co-worker. Is it really worth fighting over? Repeat to your self, "They're only words and I WANT my job."


8. PLAY WELL WITH OTHERS.
If you want to win the war (keep your job and progress up the career ladder), sometimes it's strategically advantageous to lose the battle. Assess a work situation carefully. Strategize and assess your gains and losses in a situation. If your supervisor or manager needs to act as if he or she came up with an idea that was actually yours, don't argue with them.


9. LET BREVITY AND PAUCITY BE YOUR MOTTO.
In the workplace, if you keep contact limited and utilize a cordial and polite silence to avoid fights, you can often extinguish flames that are being directed your way. Supervisors and managers appreciate a cooperative employee who gets to the point succinctly.


10. WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET.
Do not ever try to change your co-workers, especially those who are above you in the hierarchy of the workplace. It is a cardinal rule that people can change themselves, but none of us can change another. You are doomed to failure if you try to get your supervisor to see their flaws and change their ways. Learn to change what you can and accept what you cannot change.


11. STAY IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT.
Take control of potentially volatile work situations and take charge of managing them. For example, if you work for an individual who needs ample amounts of admiration and appreciation, give it to them. Work actively to make your work life smoother and to protect your employment and chances of rising on the career ladder. Remember that the best defense is a good offense. Strategize and evaluate the personalities you contend with and apply good people management techniques to the cast of characters you live with during your workday.

Obama celebrates the Festival Of Lights




Barack Obama celebrated Diwali by lighting the ceremonial lamp at the White House amidst chanting of Vedic mantras seeking world peace, becoming the first US President to personally grace the occasion.


"I think it's fitting that we begin this work in the week leading up to the holiday of Diwali, the festival of lights, when members of some of the world's greatest faiths celebrate the triumph of good over evil," Obama said in his remarks on the occasion at a White House function held at its historic East Room on Wednesday.


This is the first time that a US President attended and celebrated Diwali at the White House, giving official recognition to the festival of lights celebrated across the world by millions of Hindus, Sikhs and Jains. "This coming Saturday, Hindus, Jains, Sikhs and some Buddhists, here in America and around the world, will celebrate this holiday by lighting diyas, or lamps, which symbolise the victory of light over darkness, and knowledge over ignorance," Obama said.

Among those present at the occasion were several eminent members of the Indian community, nearly half a dozen members of Obama's Cabinet and several Indian American members of his administration. The visiting Union Minister of Commerce, Anand Sharma, and Indian Ambassador to the US, Meera Shankar also graced the occasion.


"While this is a time of rejoicing, it's also a time for reflection, when we remember those who are less fortunate and renew our commitment to reach out to those in need," Obama said, minutes before lighting the lamp while Pandit Narayanacharya Digalakote from the Sri Shiva Vishnu temple chanted Vedic mantras. "In that spirit of celebration and contemplation, I am happy to light the White House diya, and wish you all a Happy Diwali, and a saal mubarak," Obama said amidst a round of applause from the audience invited for the occasion.


During the observance ceremony, Obama signed an executive order to restore a US government panel to address concerns of Asian-Americans and Pacific Islanders and to work on improving their health, education and economic status.

The Power of words

From the very beginning when the first words were uttered, the ability to communicate has played an important role in our world.

Whether within our own thoughts, spoken or written, words have the power to transform the world we live in.

Love, laughter, heroism, friendship, and virtually every emotion we feel as human beings can be inspired by words. Unfortunately, fear, anger, and hatred, can also be invoked by words.

Language is at its best when used to inspire others to find the best in themselves.


“To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent people, and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest critics;
and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one’s self; to leave the world a little better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived . . this is to have succeeded.”

- Ralph Waldo Emerson


"Each and every word we utter will have an impact on our surroundings. We will be surmounted by positive vibrations if we speak more of positive words and on the contrary we will be hampered by negative vibrations. So let us hereafter use the 'Power of words' and lead a happy life and make others live a happy life. "

-G.Vivek Venkatesh

How to beat Self Sabotage

One of the biggest obstacles on the road to success is self sabotage.

Self sabotage occurs when we know what we want to achieve but for some reason,
we act in a way that moves us away from our goal instead of towards it.

“Self sabotage does not occur because
you are weak. It occurs because
your dream is weak”
- Anthony Fernando


Here are 10 ways given by Dr.Anthony Fernando to strengthen your dream in order to combat self sabotage:

(1) Place a picture of your dream on the ceiling above your bed so that you see it every
morning and every evening before you go to sleep.

(2) Place a picture of your dream on the back of your bathroom door.

(3) Carry a picture of your dream in your wallet or purse.

(4) Place a picture of your dream wherever you are most likely to be tempted.

(5) Use the power of public pressure and tell people about your dream. The more you
talk about it to others, the stronger your dream becomes.

(6) Hook up with a 'dream buddy' - Team up with someone who shares your dream and make a commitment to each other to make your dream a reality.

(7) Join a support group - Find an online support group and work with others to create
an encouraging and supportive atmosphere.

(8) Keep a journal - Record your experiences in a journal or a blog(well this blog created for one such purpose) . The more you write, the stronger your dream becomes.

(9) Associate your dream with a song that you find particularly inspirational. When you
are tempted to give in to temptation, listen to your song to rekindle your passion for
your dream.

(10) When you're face-to-face with temptation, ask yourself what you really want.
