 To succeed in life, you need two things: ignorance and confidence. - Mark Twain

Confidence comes not from always being right but from NOT fearing to be wrong.  - Peter T. Mcintyre 

Don't let life discourage you; everyone who got where he IS had to begin where he WAS. - Richard L. Evans

Having once decided to achieve a certain task, achieve it at all costs of tedium and distaste. The gain in self-confidence of having accomplished a tiresome labor is immense. - Thomas A. Bennett

If you think you are beaten, you are; if you think that you dare not, you don't; if you'd like to win and you think you can't it's almost certain that you won't. If you think you'll lose, you've lost; for out in the world you'll find Success begins with a fellow's will- it's all in the state of mind. If you think that you are out-classed, you are; you've got to think high to rise; you've got to be sure of yourself before you can ever win a prize. Life's battles don't always go to the stronger or faster man; but sooner or later the man who wins is the man who thinks he can.  - Unknown

One important key to success is self confidence. An important key to self confidence is preparation. -Arthur Ashe

If you have no confidence in self, you are twice defeated in the race of life. With confidence, you have won even before you have started. - Marcus Garvey

Tips for de-stressing at work

Check out this link that gives TEN great tips for de-stressing at work! Tips  :  http://www.docstoc.com/docs/28006704/10-TIPS-TO-DE-STRESS-AT-WORK

Just moments ago I came across it and wanted to share it with you all.

The biggest Hurdle

Hello dear readers.

I've been assigned to a task (or rather I have taken it upon myself to do a particular new task) that is in a subject area completely new for me. Let me tell what I have learned about the topic so far in my past two days of researching it on the net - I know only what the topic heading means!!!

Yup. That's all.

I feel frustrated at the fact that how difficult it is to venture into a completely new war-field. But I guess the biggest hurdle is the one that you face at the beginning, in such cases - when you have absolutely no guidance and no idea how to proceed.

Hopefully it gets better with hard work and persistence and...patience (something I'm desperately trying to build up).

So, wish me luck. And I hope you, my readers, succeed in all your trying, new ventures.

Failures are Keys- if you let them be

My dear readers,

Hope your week is coming to a good end and you succeeded in your goals and tasks that you set apart. And if you faced a lot of failures on the way, and still are trying to figure out how to succeed, sitting frustrated with your luck in the process -
DON'T WORRY, YOU ARE CLOSER TO SUCCESS!

I know it is difficult to let go of your frustration at failures, but remember the famous quote "Failures are the stepping stones of success" ? It is completely true. So, if you have failed it's a fact to rejoice on and celebrate!

If someone in your team or one of your colleagues seems to have succeeded without tasting even a bit of failure, don't let that deter you from pursuing your goal or bring your spirits down. They either faced those failures before or they just haven't learned anything at all in their journey to so called "success". But you are going to; and hence develop more as a person and a professional.

At the end of it you'd know much more than you'd intended to. And if any similar problems or potential "failures" knock on your door in the future, you will know exactly how to handle them and emerge a WINNER!

Weather influences our Moods

Hello readers! How is the week going?

This morning as I stepped out of home to travel for my workplace, the weather was so pleasantly chilly with cool breeze whipping across my face. It wasn't so cold that I had to wish for a warmer place. It was just perfect - the sort of weather that could put a smile on your face and make you feel happy that you had come out of your confines.

And I realized that it was shaping my mood as to how I would start the day. Imagine if it was so sunny and blindingly bright that we were sweating like pigs and wishing we didn't have to go out like that? That would surely send us into a depressing mood, right?

And now as I write this post, though I wish I was outside once more and hanging out with friends in such a nice weather, still sitting in my cabin with a view of the beautiful scene on the other side of the window gives me peace.

Enjoy your day.
