Arianna Huffington's top 10 rules for success :



1. Embrace failure.
Failure is not the opposite of success. It is part of success.

2. Bring joy to your life.
Bring joy back into your everyday life. We need to course correct when we are not joyful.

3. Do the right thing.
If we do the right thing and do it smartly, then monetization will follow.

4. Unplug and recharge.
Regularly disconnect from technology, regularly unplug and recharge in order to reconnect with ourselves and our own deepest wisdom.

5. Dare to live your life.
You have to do what you dream of doing even while you are afraid.

6. Practice death daily.
If we consciously realize and remember every day that we are all going to die, we live differently.

7. Don't hold grudges.
It is perfectly okay to be upset and angry and irritated. But how long you to stay on it? Holding grudges is the worst. The most draining thing in our lives is is hold on to something other than upset or anger or judgments. The evil of today is enough. Let the dead bury the dead. Move on.

8. Prioritize sleep.
Rob yourself of sleep and you will find you do not function at your personal best.

9. Nurture your creativity.
A culture of burnout is not a culture of creativity. I am much more creative when I have actually taken care of myself.

10. Redefine success.
At the moment, our society's notion of success is largely composed of two parts : money and power. But it is a time for third metric, beyond money and power - one founded on - well-being, wisdom, our ability to wonder, and to give back.

Why Does One Read Books?

(In this letter, Jawaharlal Nehru tells his daughter Indira which books to read and why He sent this letter from the district jail, Almora, on 22 February, 1935.) You have accepted my suggestion that I should send you books from time to time... Most of the books I get here are reu books, just published. Some of them are good, and yet I wonder how many will survive after a few years. There was an old zule that was dinned into me when I was about your age: don't read books less than fifty years old. The idea obviously was that a lapse of that period will sift the good from the bad and the indifferent, and if a book survived, it was likely to be worth reading. It was a good rule. It cannot of course apply is scientific, historical, political, economic and similar subjects, in which continuous research work is resulting in an addition of knowledge. In these subjects such rapid changes are being made nowadays that a book written a generation back it completely out of date, t...

Monitor your thoughts  6 Acknowledge others often  7 Ask for help when you need it  8. Rest in solutions  9 Attitude is everything  10 Step and smell the roses 10 seconds boldness  10 seconds of boldness twice a day has to do with the courage to ask for what.

Development is a Culture

Development is a Culture అభివృద్ధి అనేది... ఆలోచన విధానంలో ఉంటుంది. ప్రణాళికలో ఉంటుంది. ధనాన్ని ఉపయోగించే పద్ధతిలో ఉంటుంది. అవకాశం వచ్చినప్పుడు దాన్ని ఎలా ఉపయోగించాలో తెలిసే తీర్పులో ఉంటుంది. సమస్య వచ్చినప్పుడు దాన్ని ఎలా తట్టుకోవాలో తెలిపే దృక్పథంలో ఉంటుంది. అభివృద్ధి అనేది... భౌతిక వనరుల దాటి మనసు స్థాయికి సంబంధించిన విషయం. ఇది సంస్కృతిగా పరిగణించాలి. ఇది ఒక కుటుంబంలో పిల్లలకు చిన్నప్పటినుంచి నేర్పవలసిన జీవన శైలి. పరిశుద్ధత, పట్టుదల, ప్రణాళిక, పరస్పర సహకారం, బాధ్యతా పూరిత జీవన విధానం — ఇవన్నీ కలసి అభివృద్ధి సంస్కృతిని ఏర్పరుస్తాయి. దీరూబాయ్ అంబానీ వారసత్వం ఇద్దరికీ సమానంగా వచ్చిందేమో కానీ... అభివృద్ధిని చూసే దృక్పథం మాత్రం ఒక్కరిలో మాత్రమే బలంగా వృద్ధి చెందలేదు. అందుకే తేడా వచ్చింది. ఇప్పటి యువతలో చాలా మందికి అవకాశాలు ఉన్నాయి... కానీ అభివృద్ధి కల్చర్ ను అలవరచుకోవాలనే ఆలోచన తక్కువగా కనిపిస్తోంది. ఈ భావనను అందరికీ బోధించాల్సిన అవసరం ఎంతైనా ఉంది. __ పిళ్లా కుమారస్వామి,9059054756
