Learn from your Failure

I still remember that moment in my life. It was in the mid of summer, I sat frustrated in one end of the room with my head warped down. The failure I faced in the football match for which we practiced furiously for the past two months made me completely ruined. I completely lost my hope. Not only me, but our entire team also lost our hope. We, as a team has been a failure on the entire seasonal league. We tried in every possible aspect in order to overcome our failure. But we couldn’t find where we have been blundering ourselves. ‘Why do we fall Bruce? So that we can learn to pick ourselves up.’ The television on the other end of the room muttered playing the ‘Batman Begins’ movie. That exact point was the spark we have been missing in the entire period of time. We trained ourselves hard, we were united, and also we strategized our plans well. But still what we missed was to learn from failure. Our fear of failure to lose was blocking us from exhibiting our potentiali

Importance of Being Proactive

Every one of us in this world, respond to our problem or situation based on the stimuli that gets produced. For example, if someone shouts at us for no reason, we will respond to them either by shouting or by neglecting their attitude towards us. If our boss is obstinate who gets tempered for no reason, we will normally respond by avoiding him to the max. But the question is; are we choosing our response based on the stimulus with respect to our own freedom? Or based on the influence of our environment and people surrounding us? “Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response.” Viktor Frankl I have heard the effect of proactive thinking in a real life incident from one of my colleague. He was welcomed to a new project and was assigned with a new technical task. He reported directly to his manager and was guided by one of his senior officials. As per his senior official’s words, he used to proceed with the technic

Who is the first person that strikes your conscious when you are asked about the ‘Apple’ innovation? Well, as an Apple fanboy , the first person that strikes our conscious is none other than Steve Jobs.  Have you ever questioned why do you remember Steve Jobs when you speak about Apple? Is it because he is the co-founder of Apple? Then what about Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne?  Or is it because he was twice the CEO of Apple? Well, he is not the CEO anymore. (And sadly, he is not alive.) Why didn’t you recognize Tim Cook’s face at first? The reason behind this great recognition is the difference between inspiration and motivation. It’s all about the importance of inspiration and the underlying difference between motivation and inspiration. Of course, both leaders, Steve Jobs and Tim Cook had/have their own ideologies of innovations and market strategies of implementation. Even the employees of Apple are found to be calm and composed under the leadership of Coo

A man in his black suit stood in front of a huge crowd of people and cleared his throat to start his speech for the day. “I was 21 when I achieved the first success of my life. Now I am 43. I have achieved success in various industries. Every time I succeed, I was interviewed by the media and I would be invited to conferences to provide my proficient speech. To be in numbers, I have been successful in my business for about a decade. Every person I meet, every person I speak with and the people I am surrounded with know how successful I am now. But the fact is I am a failure. Even now I have not succeeded in my life. What other people in (the market) consider success is not my definition of success. To be frank, still now I am a failure.” The entire hall of professionals and young students started chattering about what was happening. He cleared his throat in order to gain attention of his audiences and looked at the huge banner which was dangl
