Life in Bangalore

Well…Ah…Hum…Errrrr…let me try my 5 cents of success tips …. Sachin Tendulkar made his debut for India at the age o

Today morning, my daughter came to me with a book of fables…one among the 5 stories that  I retold was “The Hare and the Tortoise” …It ended with the Moral : “Slow and Steady wins the Race”. It has stuck to my mind for the reason below: The story reminded me of Jame Clear's concept of "Average Speed" . James’s  advice is to know our average speed of any activity that we need to pursue , irrespective of how fast or how slow we may be.  Once we know our average speed , we need to do pursue it consistently with a constancy of purpose. It sound simple and straightforward … but please think if we really follow it in our daily life ? Not really… In this modern world , We are all creatures of Urge…. ·          We remember we missed the daily work-out for sometime now and so today we went all out at our “peak speed” only to end up with a sprain… ·          We remember that the savings proof submission for getting the Tax break is coming up next week and simply
