Do You Believe in Yourself?

Whether you believe you can do a thing or not, you are right. - Henry Ford.

One thing without which it is impossible to achieve anything is a belief that the thing can be done. If you start with the premise that what you are about to do is something you can’t do, the possibility that you will be able to do the thing is quite low, if not zero.

For most people, belief in one’s ability springs from the things they have done in the past. But if you are aiming to do something that you have never done in the past, it is hard to believe that you will be able to do the thing. Without this belief, the chances of achieving your goals dwindle.

It thus becomes a vicious circle, which needs to be broken.

Do you have the U-Factor?

In today’s fast paced world customisation has become a  key word. All companies are trying to modify their products to meet the needs of as many individual customers as they can. It is quite possible that one day we will have products that have been modified to meet the need of each individual customer. Dell, for example, is one company that has tried to customise its products since its inception.

But, why is there a need for customisation?

The needs arises because each human being is unique. In spite of the physical resemblance, each one of the six billion individuals on this earth is unique. If you think that isn’t the case, then consider finger prints – though we all have fingers that are alike, and perform almost the same tasks, yet everyone has a unique finger print.

The Secret to Sucess!

“Don’t aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.” - David Frost

Success is one thing that most, if not all, of us constantly aspire for.  When, for one reason or another, we fail, we look outwards for reasons for the failure, and we also seek advice to succeed in the future. If you have ever tried to find tips to succeed on the Internet, I am sure you have found an abundant supply of advice on the subject.

But has that worked for you?  If not, maybe you are looking at the wrong picture.

Do you have Clutter Syndrome?

Do you have Clutter Syndrome?Most people start their day on a positive note, with the hope that the day will be a productive one.  But, as the hours of the day pass, they realise that there is just not enough time. In an attempt to get everything done, not much actually gets done and the day ends on a pensive note.

Sounds familiar? If it does, maybe you too are a victim of the clutter syndrome?

What exactly is clutter?

Not All Practice Makes Perfect!

When I started playing Table Tennis, I was surprised by the speed with which I learnt the basics of the game. I became “good enough” in the game in a couple of months, and I regularly began to beat the players who had taught me how to play the game. Just as I had begun to think that I could get really good at this, it became increasingly difficult  to become better at the game. Eventually, I reconciled myself to the fact that I will be playing the game only for fun.

I am sure something like that must have happened to you too. However hard you practice, you are not able to become perfect. That is to say that not all practice makes perfect.
