From reality to dreams..
The morning mist had started to recede,
It seemed so much like yesterday, nothing seemed to impede,
Sun's glory ,clouds moving across ,
I sat on a bench, my mind going engross,
Full of hustle-bustle the day took off,
People strode,destiny seemed far-off,
Stiff breeze blowing , it hit my face,
I shared the day's joy, without any grimace.
I was taken over by pondering thoughts,
A feeling of novelty, something's going to be, engulfed my thoughts,
It grew stronger, making me curious,as time capsized,
It was getting long, looked like an opportunity familiarized,
It was a feeling , I struggled to hide,
The smile was evident , I knew someone would come and sit beside,
The day lending a helping hand,
The breeze blowing, eased me a bit, like a magic wand.
The time arrived, you came, my joy was to be seen,
Looked at you, a sight I started to marvel, a visage unseen,
The eyes were endearing, my thoughts walked towards them,
I wanted to say something, adoring I looked into them,
They got my message, it seemed they said, I know!
I sat there,as you sat besides, how nice can someone be, I don't know!
I looked at you, it seemed ages, my eyes could not rest,
Your gaze was soothing, I say,it was the loveliest,
The truth from your eyes, my eyes could see,
I told them, the lovely miracle, is there just for me to see,
The glorious smile,took my breaths away,
You spoke,as my thoughts flew far away,
Wondering I said, I haven't seen a beauty so saccharine,
My feelings were flowing, how to do lay them , infront of thine?
The loveliness you radiated, my thoughts came back,
I asked them, tell her, she will not leave me back.
I was nothing ,I met you,I know feel plentiful,
It was a lovely day, the talks we shared, couldn't be more truthful,
I felt something touch me deep, I realized it took to my heart,
I stayed there and marveled as you spoke , your words warmed my heart,
The wait ended with a favor, I can't thank Him enough,
A prayer, a gratitude, I say, nothing can be enough,
My heart strings resonate with you, you are a good fortune,
I am fortunate, I am respectful, I'll never let you go my fortune.

Do the listening too.
"Listen twice as much as you speak". This has many benefits, these days coming across good listeners is pretty rare but one must try to be a part of this illusive subset of good and patient listeners.
The most important reason we should listen more than we should speak is that, when we listen we learn more about the world than we speak .If you know something incompletely or have no knowledge at all about something, listening to others talk on the topic would help you to again some important information(not all that you hear would be useful). Listening also may help you to 'defuse' a certain argument in the heat of the moment if you listened rather than spoke too much. When we listen to someone , we show respect towards him or her and this will surely help in making better friends and better relationships.
Active listening is also important. It's pretty talked about too. Well, active listening is a habit and needs practice. You practice because, your active listening skills need to be toned . When talking to some one it's so important to understand why he or she is saying what he or she is saying. Just listening to the content is not good enough, there are bound to be some 'behind the curtain' feelings which would become slowly evident to the listener when the listener asks meaningful and polite questions. This highlights the difference between listening and hearing too.
"A good listener is a silent flatterer". A better listener can build high-trust relationships.Since a better listener does not get engaged in the usual monologue, so has the chance of getting access to the information he/she would have otherwise missed.

I hear you talk.
Through the woods, a lonely walk,
Stillness transcending , a reticent talk,
Cogitations burden , fringing my ambiance,
An anticipation, an expectation , perceive thy presence,
Through the gushing winds, a visage of uncertainty,
Through the clouds, soft sun rays , path of clarity,
I walk, I walk , I walk,
I hear you, I hear you , I hear you talk.
Time goes, eventide, I persevere,
Vim radiating thoughts, loginess gripping body, I persevere,
Hope invariant,dreams aspire,I'll be there,
Dry wind, parched throat, I'll be there,
Reach you, a zeal ,a diligence,
I say, you are there, a credence , an acceptance,
I walk,I walk,I walk,
I hear you, I hear you, I hear you talk.
A quest,extending,exhausting,I walk,deep in thought,
Thy talk ceases, bemused, diffidence caught,
Silent words,I asked , heartfelt , where are you?
A hand, I could feel, remembered thy soft touch, is that you?
Looked around, gasped , brimming ardor,beauty, it's you,
Found the treasure, I smiled, gaiety and joy,it's you,
Let's leave for paradise,heavenly city,I said,holding hand thine,
Walked together,dreams blissful,steps contented,on cloud nine.
I walk,I walk,I walk,
I hear you, I hear you, I hear you talk.

Find purpose the means will follow ..
'The purpose of life is to lead a life of purpose' . It's imperative to define the purpose of your life. By this , I do not mean a list of of 'to-do' things, it's just a way of being , a way of life , the way you want to live and obviously be remembered. When the purpose of life is discovered it surely adds value to living .
Value-based living is the highest level of living anyone can attain, in my opinion . It's a way of life where the person knows where he/she is going , there's no time in life when the purpose is lost. For this last thing to happen , it's required not to change the way of life (implied by the purpose of one's life) at any time .You just have to move towards things and activities which define who you really are by allowing you to express yourself completely.
When the purpose of life is found, which is attained by disciplining both mental and physical aspects of your body , the means do follow. The means follow because there isn't much there to choose from once the purpose is decided. Removal of unnecessary ideas is easier and the most correct means to do to the task at hand can be selected at least cost. And also, the means selected will always be in sync with your purpose in life. Your life is set into motion , the way you want it to be .

Role Models
Role models can come from any strata of the society. They are generally 'famous' people, with a high profile and they influence young people through their words and actions. The increased emphasis on 'role-model' can be considered as one of the major by-products of the modern society.
Normally, a role-model is an accessible person.By accessible I mean, he or she is in the news , facing the camera more often than not and also likes being given a 'role-model' status. The catch here is the fact that, there are many people(sport persons in particular) who stay away from the limelight. So , their talent and their lifestyle isn't out there in the open . Nonetheless, when a person chooses his/her role model, it's based on the achievements of the role model. A successful person is an obvious choice for a role model . But when you select a role model , the choice cannot be emotional, like I'll make my dad my role model. If your dad (and his achievements,qualities) are directly in sync with what you want to achieve at the end of your life, then go ahead.
It's almost like, say, you are in trouble or need to take a crucial decision. If you have read the biography/autobiography of your role model, the question you ask yourself "What would he/she have done in this situation?" . If your understanding of your role model and his/her life is perfect(or almost perfect) , you should be able to figure that out. What I mean is, we cannot keep a role model just for the sake of having one, we have to be well versed with the kind of person he/she is, what qualities he/she possesses and what sort of life he/she is/was living.

Quotes..
Clarity Precedes Mastery.
If you don't act on Life, Life will act on you.The smallest of actions is always better than the noblest of intentions.
Your thinking creates your reality. The most successful people on the planet have failed more than ordinary ones.
Life is just a series of moments, if you miss the moments, you miss your life.
The person who experience most, wins.
There is no such thing as an unimportant day.
Your days are your life in miniature. As you live your days you create your hours, so you create your years, As you live your days, so you craft your life.
The more successful you and your organization become, the more humble and devoted to your customers you need to be.

Meeting the challenge ..
"Life is not the way it is supposed to be. It is the way it is. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference" . There's beauty and ecstasy , there's sorrow and grief. It's just that no one is sure , what's going to come when . The challenge remains to maintain your success rate irrespective of all this.
For this, it is essential to identify the priorities and the key issues. Having priorities sorted out always helps in taking decisions at crunch times, when a challenge is thrown open. By key issues I mean , what performance and preparation level you are ready to accept.It will not always happen that the performance levels are reached for each challenge face, a tolerance policy is important. This helps to categorize a failure.Each below par performance(even a good performance) will surely provide pointers to what needs to be improved , what needs to be changed. Keeping a clear picture of the key issues in your mind will help to create an awareness, as awareness precedes change, a change for the better is on the horizon.

Expectations.
Hmmm..expectations are of two kinds : external and internal. External expectations are part of the environment in which you live. They are thrust in your face during almost every conversation. Matthew Hayden once said , that when Sachin Tendulkar goes out to bat - "It is beyond chaos - it is a frantic appeal by a nation to one man" . This is what external expectation is, completely summed up. Sachin manages this very well and hence is a successful person. Now, none of us have a burden of expectations comparable to Sachin but the idea remains the same- Manage your external expectations well. It's important that you play your own game and not somebody else's.
Internal expectations are derived from within yourselves , from your past achievements. This is very similar to your self-image. How highly do you rate yourself? There is a fine line in being unreasonable and cautious in this case.
The key is to manage expecations, to arrest the emotional engagement in expectations. It's important to remove yourselves from the environment briefly and reset your goals. This is one way to manage external expectations. Internal expectations can be controlled but external expectations can' t be.The greatest indicator that you are going along well , even when the external expectations are rising is the test of 'Quality-decison-making' . This is called 'Composure'. With the rising external expectations, it's imperative that your decision making isn't affected. There can be cases when you meet the external expectations but not your internal expectations, this isn't success. A few poor performances or a few poor results may drastically bring down the external expecatations, but you yourself know how good you are , so your internal expectations may continue to soar.

Koshish karne waalon ki haar nahin hoti..
Lehron se darkar nauka paar nahin hoti,
koshish karne waalon ki haar nahin hoti,
Nanhi cheenti jab daana lekar chalti hai,
Chadhti deewaaron par, sao baar phisalti hai.
Mann ka vishwaas ragon mein saahas bharta hai,
Chadhkar girna, girkar chadhna naa akharta hai.
Aakhir uski mehnat bekaar nahin hoti,
koshish karne waalon ki haar nahin hoti.
Dubkiyaan sindhu mein gotaakhor lagaata hai,
jaa jaa kar khaali haanth lautkar aata hai.
Milte nahin sahaj hi moti gehre paani mein,
badhta duguna utsaah issi hairani mein.
Mutthi uski khaali har baar nahin hoti,
Koshish karne waalon ki haar nahi hoti.
Asaflta ek chunauti hai, isse sweekar karo,
kya kami reh gayi, dekho aur sudhaar karo.
Jab tak naa safal ho, neend chain ki tyago tum,
Sangharsh ka maidaan chhodkar mat bhaago tum.
Kuch kiye bina hi jai jaikar nahin hoti,
koshish karne waalon ki haar nahin hoti.

Mental Toughness
What is mental toughness?.. it's the ability to make quality decisions. This counts at crucial phases. If the performance of an individual is affected by a decision or a series of decisions then this becomes crucial. A good decision can be made , if at the present instant, the entire brain-power is devoted to making that decision . The compartments of the brain which are irrelevant to the task at hand should be locked.
I imagine that the human brain is made up of compartments or sub-systems. There is a separate compartment for business,friends,family,hobbies,education etc. While doing a task A, all mental resources at a given time , must be dedicated/utilized for that task itself.Otherwise , the ability of making decisions while doing A would be seriously affected and so would the outcome of A. It's just so important to fill each compartment with appropriate knowledge,information,skills and confidence. It's also important to know which compartment should be unlocked at the given time and also to how to lock other compartments .
Most decisions are validated only my implementing them, it's difficult to know what 'this' decision would result into.That's the whole point, if your compartments have been trained with all the necessary knowledge and skills, the chances of getting a good decision out of them is pretty good, but it may still fail!

Dream ..
A dream to fly with the wind,
So that I dont fall behind,
A dream to be the everest,
Beyond the reach of any sorrowful harvest.
A dream to rise above the ocean of defeat,
And not use the ejection seat,
A dream to sing my song,
Tirelessly as I travel along.
A dream to find that special being,
May the search not turn heart-robbing,
A dream to discover that obsession,
Alongwith that long lost passion.
A dream to venture out into the untread,
And follow the directions my heart said,
A dream to get the prize coveted,
Propelled by desire deep-seated.
A dream to live my dreams,
As I flow with my faith streams,
A dream to continue dreaming,
To enjoy life with dreams enchanting!!

Make 'others' redundant.
4th in the series .. "if better is possible"...
Well...this is what applies to my day..today. I ask myself, "When people speak rubbish..does that mean they think rubbish too?" . The answer to this question, in my opinion is a firm YES. Any decently intelligent human being will not give any weight to such 'other' people. If you really care for and respect a person then his/her's opinion matters. There are a bunch of 'others' wherever you go and what they say is mere noise.It was never required of them to speak, their opinion wasn't required and if 'others' still wanna say something, it is just noise and it should not affect your thinking or for that matter even your vision(if your vision does get affected, it actually wasn't a vision).
The thing which you need to do is to isolate 'others' and don't even listen to them. By not listening to them I mean you don't evaluate what they say and so there is no chance of you actually giving their thoughts any importance. The people who matter, their words, should be evaluated but not necessarily acted upon. Because it's all up to you as a person , as an individual. The advice, the idea must be in sync with your vision and your mental framework must agree with it , then only you follow the advice.
The key is to make 'others' redundant, they don't exist or their words don't matter. Then your brain is open to only important ideas(important to you) and the chances of you being benefited actually increase.

Hope.. :)
I hope you never lose that fire
Never let this bitter ambience subside your desire
Let your heart free,channelize your emotions
Live your heart and enjoy the stimulations
For you have to walk this way only once
Enjoy the wrong turns and the rough embrace
May faith engulf your beliefs
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance,
I hope you dance...
I hope you carry that flavour
Never let go off your ardour
Let your thoughts guide you , use your creative imagination
I hope reason never stops you in your levitation
But life will befuddle and impede
I will be there to make it lucid
Remain a gem , a special being
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance,
I hope you dance....

The vision is Everest..
Hmmm...limit to human imagination!...there isn't one. I think you can be an imaginative-visionary.Now 'others' would question your practicality!... this doesn't count. The argument is simple , you know yourself better than others. What others say is a mere conjecture. It's just about creating an environment around you and culture of clear thinking which is unaffected by any uncongenial factor, so to speak. It's a powerful thought - ' You come this way but once'.
If you want your life to be big enough to be 'counted' follow a vision and the vision should not be an adjustment or a bargain. Aim to be the kindest person you know, the most intelligent you know, the most generous person you know, the most successful(your definition of success will vary, must go by your pre-set success criteria) person you know and so on.Now comes the imagination part, one thing we can't afford in life is to lack imagination. Imagination is an idea, an idea is thought, thought is an action in the making. All great inventions were ideas, someone must have imagined them one fine day.
Just step out, with a vision as high as possible , brimming with youthful energy and confidence. It will just be a matter of time when you scale 'that' Everest.

Out of your comfort zone.
It almost always pays to move out of the 'safe and comfortable world which we call ours' into a world unknown to us at least in a relative sense. This is how we learn new things,this is how we learn how to drive a car, this is how a baby learns to crawl-walk-run, this is how we elevate ourselves , this is how we rise how we learn. Yes, you may fall but that was just 'extra-learning' which you needed in order to go ahead..simple ..right?
At the time of your 'fall' , your vision matters. Its almost your driving force . The fall might cause you to tamper with your modus-operandi but the beauty of it all ->'you just don't know'. The focus must remain on the fall, because it is the fall which makes you retreat. It's a matter of prestige for any leader to take his people to a place 'which they haven't seen before' . This would define a good leader. The words 'out of your comfort zone' have a inspiring effect but this inspiration is drawn from your vision in life, which I call your driving force. Thats it!...Have a vision!

I think.........
I think you are one of His wonderful creations,
You are there in all of His constellations,
Graced are the virtues that manifest in you,
Look above and see the angels smile as they wave at you.
I think your eyes say a million words of innocence,
Even when you are taken over by a wave of reticence,
Your speech is an amalgam of truth and purity,
Your words are fragrant with your unbounded beauty.
I think you are the most lovable friend of mine,
Still echo in my ears those pleasant sounds of thine,
You hardly know but you are always there as a comrade,
With my eyes closed I see your memories in their cavalcade.
I think you met me to fulfill a dream,
Still fresh is that soft gaze of your eyebeam,
Within me,a feeling has surfaced that I fulfill this cherished desire,
Hear the depths of my heart call to you,come and fill it entire.
I think I will get a coveted chance to be for you,
Glad and fortunate,my heart would say that I live for you,
You are a person with a thousand beautiful colours,a bundle of bliss and gaiety,
You are thought!My thought!!Me your reality.

The most magical aspect of human nature......
A smile,
Envisages the beauty of a flower bud new born,
Blooming with innocence , softening the thorn.
Warms dreariness with cheer and levity,
Brimming the ambience with spontaneous vitality.
Permeates my heart with tender feelings of warmth and affection,
Making my heartstrings resonate with transmissible compassion.
Makes a feeling of bliss and amity cover me then,
Imagining myself in the wonderful garden of Eden,
Gets me out of my melancholy of what transpired before,
Letting my eyes marvel at something they have never seen before.
Reveals the pleasant aroma enfolded within you,
Unfolding a visual miracle,magnificient like you.
Harmonizes the ambivalence in my heart,making my uncogenial emotions reconcile,
Giving me also a reason to smile as I thank you for that beautiful smile!
