Life in Bangalore

Remember, there are many ways to solve one problem Develop a mindset to look at the problems from all angles... Never doubt the intention of people Expect criticism even for the best of your deeds Nothing is risky as long as you know ,why you are doing what you are doing When you see others act with ego, smile! When others vent it up on you, do not react...instead just say ..."thanks for letting me know who you are" Make every effort to make others feel important Do not publish the first draft...create...take a break...edit....take a break....edit....Publish! Analyze ...ruminate...Analyze....ruminate....Analyze....ruminate...Decide When something bothers your mind, take a document and write what you think about the bother! When faced with a toughest problem , set up a pomodoro and focus Get comfortable with uncertainty... How? Get comfortable with solving problems that others have not solved Create...however poor the quality...it is your own!

Do not seek to control rather seek to influence Do not seek to control rather seek to enable When you feel hurt, it is most likely due to ego-prick....let it go! When you feel stressed ,it is most likely due to your thought on past or future event, ....bring the thought back to the present Remember, Biggest of people can be brought down by the smallest of men.... Never link what you have accomplished in Life to Education, Designation,Salary,Home,Car and Money...Link your accomplishment to Friends,Family,Learning, Mindfulness,Health and Humility Learn to appreciate the efforts that other are putting through Appreciate the efforts of others through Words Learn to make connections ...Face-to-Face Do not think that everything will work as you think...expect the unexpected Learn to live through uncertainty and discomfort When the unexpected occurs...do not become shell-shocked, instead recover soon enough... Develop a problem-solving approach : address issues bottoms...up...fr

Wow! what a life it has been ! how unexciting it has been so far!!!  Looking back at my life, I have most often felt that I have not accomplished much in life...often compare myself  to a  boat without a rudder sailing in high tide ...in an Ocean called life..just getting pushed to the side where the expectations push me , only to get pushed to the other end. In the end, I used to feel "empty" for not having accomplished anything .. I think I felt so that way because I am not famous...you will miss me in a crowd of two ... and also  because , I am not as rich as I wanted to be!
