Critical Thinking

You will need Critical Thinking skill at work. Lucky thing is that there are a lot of materials to guide you to there. Critical thinking is also an important skill that is important in Masters Degree. Its basically to criticize and back up your points with valid reasons.

Education is important for an entrepreneur. In my case, the masters in

mechanical engineering did not help. A bachelor's degree in engineering helps as it

gives a good base, but if I can redo my education, I will not opt for MTech. A

degree in computer science has been very helpful, I can understand technology

very well. (Source:www.ravithesun.teks.co.in)

Be a Listener

The Top 200 Secrets of Success and the Pillars of Self-Mastery by Robin S. Sharma (Part 3)

Think of three people who can provide you with inspiration, motivation and support for

your goals and aspirations. Plan to meet with each one of them over the next few weeks.

Listen enthusiastically to them and brainstorm with them. Map out a strategy and take

their wise counsel.

Just as valuable energy is wasted by spending time on activities that are of no value,

energy can be wasted on loose thinking.

Make a new friend or acquaintance every day. Keep an updated list of all contacts close

at hand. Rich relationships are the DNA of a rich, rewarding life.

Do not talk when you are listening. Interrupting is one of the most common discourtesies.

Listen aggressively with the full scope of your attention. You will be amazed at what you

learn and how your counsel will soon be sought by many.

If you have a choice of taking two paths, always take the more daring of the two.

Calculated risk taking often produces extraordinary results.

Some men see things as they are and say "why?" I dream of things that never were and

say "why not?" George Bernard Shaw

Be known as an innovator at your place of work. Sit down over the next week and write

out ten suggestions for your supervisor as to how to improve the work being done and the

quality of the workplace itself. Be known as an idea person willing to discover challenges

and tackle them with zest and enthusiasm.

Napoleon III of France had a special ability to remember the names of all those he met.

His secret was to say "so sorry, I missed your name" after being introduced to a new

person. This would cause the name to be repeated and reinforced within his memory. If

the name was difficult, he would ask for the proper spelling.

Thank you Robin S. Sharma for doing a great work.  These are my 

favourite points extracted from "The Top 200 Secrets of Success 

and the Pillars of Self-Mastery", shared with you in these 3 posts.

The Top 200 Secrets of Success and the Pillars of Self-Mastery by Robin S. Sharma (Part 2)

Remember people's names and treat everyone well. This habit, along with enthusiasm, is

one of the great success secrets. Everyone in this world wears an imaginary button that

screams out "I WANT TO FEEL IMPORTANT AND APPRECIATED!".

Never discuss your health, wealth and other personal matters with anyone outside of your

immediate family. Be very disciplined in this regard.

The Two Minute Mind is an excellent exercise for developing concentration. Simply

stare at the second hand on your wristwatch for two minutes and think about nothing else

for that time. At first your mind will wander but after 21 days of practice, your attention

will not waver during the routine. One of the greatest qualities a person can develop to

ensure his success is the ability to focus for extended periods of time. Learn to build up

your concentration muscles and no task will be too difficult for you.

Master the art of public speaking. There are few natural speakers. One great trial lawyer

stammered dreadfully but through courage and strength of conviction, he developed into

a brilliant orator. Role model anyone you think is a highly effective, influential

communicator. Visualize a picture of this person. Stand like him, smile like him, and talk

like him. The results will startle you.

In terms of business attire, dark suits (navy blue and charcoal grey) reflect power,

sophistication and authority. Have you ever seen a prime minister or president in a tan

suit?

Be careful about your reputation. If it is good it will take you to the highest of heights.

But once tarnished, it will be difficult to retrieve. Always reflect on your course of action.

Never do anything you wouldn't be proud to tell your mother about. Have fun always but

temper it with common sense and prudence.

Find mentors to model who will guide you in your progress.

Make a list of all your weaknesses. A truly confident and enlightened person will note a

weakness and seek to methodically improve. Bear in mind that even the greatest and most

powerful people have weaknesses. Some are better than others in hiding them. On the

other hand, get to know your best qualities and cultivate them.

Overlook the weaknesses of your friends. If you look for flaws you will most surely find

them. Be mature enough to ignore the petty failings of others and see the good that each

one inherently possesses. We can learn from everyone. Everyone has a story to tell, a

joke to share and a lesson to learn. Call your friends, buy them small gifts of books or other

 items you believe they might enjoy. The "law of the farm" applies to relationships as well as 

to the rest of life - you reap what you sow and to have great friends you must first be one.

Keep well-informed about current events, the latest books and popular trends. Many peak

performers read five or six papers a day.

Use the rubber band method to condition your mind to focus solely on the most positive

elements in your life. Place a rubber band around your wrist. Each time a negative,

energy sapping thought enters your mind, snap the rubber band. Through the power of

conditioning, your mind will associate pain with negative thinking and you will soon

possess a strongly positive mindset.

Always remember the key principle that the quality of your life is the quality of your

communication. This means the way you communicate with others and, more

importantly, the way you communicate with yourself. What you focus on is what you get.

If you look for the positive this is what you get. This is a fundamental law of Nature.

Stay on purpose, not on outcome. In other words, do the task because it is what you love

to do or because it will help someone or is a valuable exercise. Don't do it for the money

or the recognition. Those will come naturally. This is the way of the world.

To enhance your concentration and powers of focus, count your steps when you walk.

This is a particularly strong technique. Take six steps while taking a long inhale, hold

your breath for another six steps, and then exhale for six steps. If six steps is too long for

the breaths, do whatever you feel comfortable with. You will feel very alert, refreshed,

internally quiet and centered after this exercise. So many people allow their minds to be

filled with mental chatter. All peak performers appreciate the power of a quiet, clear mind

which will concentrate steadily on all important tasks.

Make an effort to be humorous throughout the day. Not only is it beneficial from a

physical viewpoint but it diffuses tension in difficult circumstances and creates an

excellent atmosphere wherever you are. It was recently reported that members of the

Tauripan tribe of South America have a ritual where they awake in the middle of the

night to tell each other jokes. Even tribesmen in the deepest sleep wake to enjoy the laugh

and then return to their state of slumber in seconds.

Associate only with positive, focused people who you can learn from and who will not

drain your valuable energy with complaining and uninspiring attitudes. By developing

relationships with those committed to constant improvement and the pursuit of the best

that life has to offer, you will have plenty of company on your path to the top of whatever

mountain you seek to climb.

Highly successful people are master interpreters. People who have attained greatness

have an ability which they have developed to interpret negative or disempowering events

as positive challenges which will assist them in growing and moving even farther up the

ladder of success. There are no negative experiences only experiences which aid in your

development and toughen your character so that you may soar to new heights. There are

no failures, only lessons.

Irritated

Begin to feel very irritated.  This is not the way it should be.  Wonder why certain human being, they are just not aware that their action, their inquisitive style, their seeking for attention attitude really disgusting.  How did people like that survive? Why on earth is there people who admire this?

Maybe it's just not my day today.  I feel i have to go through the day with masked face.

This is an act of selfishness in disguise. I don't find it attractive at all but feel annoying.

What can I do about?

Certainly nothing I can do.  I can only mind my own business and treat these group as challenges that I need to overcome so that i can work with most horrible persons.

Guilt in me

Guilt is what i'm feeling right now.  I am guilty as I am not able to please everyone especially those who are very close to me and who were once there for me whenever i needed them.  

I feel much like self centered freak and this is not what it should be.  Why do i feel the guilt? Its because I have the ability to help and not really willing to sacrifice for the sake of other's convenience.  

I hate being used and always being relied on to.  I wish sometimes i could rely on others but I do not really have that "honor" to do so.  

It has been my value that I will not seek for others help and never ever ever depend on others.  I was lucky that angels were there to assist me along the way , to make thing smoother and easier to get through.

My guilt is genuine.  Was once hurt.  Too helpful is not a good sign.  Being too helpful is encouraging people to take advantage of you.  Worst remark that I have heard of, after being so obedient.  Guess this is life and you'll grow selfishly as you get older.  Betrayal and lost of trust spillover towards the people who have/have not hurt u at all.

I have my blog abandoned for 3 months!

This sounds bad.  I have been disorientated, lost focused but here i am back here again.
