Practical Leadership: Successful Thinking

  Success starts with the correct mind-set, cultivate it, human brain is highly adaptable.

 

Good, Better, Best

 

 

  • Look out for new opportunities. Opportunity knocks softly. New challenges as gateways to improvement.

 

  • Try to be the best version of yourself. There is always room for improvement.

 

  • Get over petty insecurities and anxieties. Focus on big picture.

 

  • Focus on self-improvement. Concentrate on your own worth, value, and potential.

 

  • Measure your progress against your own personal best and not against others. Comparing yourself with others is a waste of time.

 

  • Train yourself into developing better habits.

 

  • Relinquish your fear of mistakes. To err is human, mistakes are part of the process, learn from them improve and move on.

 

  • Stop being afraid to look silly and seek help and advice.

Never Stop Learning

 

  • Learning is essential for success. Constantly learn and adapt.

 

  • Learn to reject unhealthy thoughts and habits and replace them with better ones.

 

 

  • Think critically and creatively. Lot of opportunities require creative thinking.

 

  • Learn new strategies and new ways of thinking. Get your emotions related to “leaping into the unknown” and “fear of failure” under control.

 

  • Look at failure as an opportunity to learn, rather than a worst possible outcome.

 

Get Priorities in Order

 

  • Plan ahead and stick to it.

 

  • Break that mountainous workload down into small, manageable chunks, and address each one at a time.

 

  • Prioritising the tasks is the first key to the most productive life.

 

  • Organise and categorise the types of activities in your plan. Categorisation could be immediate, mid-term and long-term or aim, objectives and targets.

 

  • Remember that to-do lists, planners, organisers, and productivity accessories are just tools for use and not magical solutions.

 

Summary

 

“Life is 10 % what happens to us and 90 % how we respond to it.”

– Charles Swindoll

 

  • Success is all about mind-set. Think the right way to be successful.

 

  • Concentrate on the big picture, accept that mistakes and failure as part of the process, never stop learning, and put your priorities in the correct order.

 

  • Know when to go with the flow and when to challenge the status quo. Rock the boat gently and do not rock it during the storm.

INTERESTING PEOPLE

 

Came across an interesting write up about interesting people and got interested in doing some more research on the subject.

 

Who Are Interesting People?

Interesting people are:

 

    • Captivating.

 

    •  Engaging.

 

    •  Unusual.

 

    •  Hypnotising.

 

Common habits of Interesting People

 

Common habits of interesting people can be summed up by the acronym “SMILE A LOT”.

 

Share. Interesting people are always willing to and enjoy sharing their experiences and discoveries with others. They do it without spinning a yarn and keeping the interests of others in mind.

Likes & Dislikes.  They don’t hide their likes and dislikes. They know what they want, and they’re brave enough to take the steps to get there.  Interesting people often have unusual preferences that don’t fit the norm.

 

Opinions. Interesting people are open, forthright and have their views. Their opinions quite often are a bit different than the rest. They don’t worry about what others think of them and are authentic and true to themselves. They don’t fear about being judged.

 

Try. Interesting people are often daring, like taking risks, and willing to go out of their comfort zones. They don’t prefer staying limited to boundaries.

SHIQURDU 35

 

k

मान कर कोई दूसरा, देता रहता हूं मशवरा ख़ुद को

ख़ुद ही से रूठ कर, ख़ुद ही मना लेता हूँ

ख़ुद को

 

 

k

आज फिर दिल ने ईक तमन्ना की

आज फिर दिल को समजाया हमने 

 

 

k

कुबूल है जिंदगी का हर  एक तोहफ़ा

मैंने ख्वाहिशों का पीछा छोड़ दिया

 

 

k

मैं आज ‘मैं होना चाहता  हूँ।

बिन सफ़र, बिन मंज़िलों का

एक रास्ता होना चाहता  हूँ।

 

 

k

ना चादर बढ़ी कीजिए,

ना ख़्वाहिशें दफ़न कीजिए

चार दिन की है ज़िंदगी, 

चैन से बसर कीजिए

 

 

  • Shiqurdu is a collection of thoughts. Although an odd-sounding name felt appropriate for the collection.

 

  • These are simplified quotes in Hurdu (Hurdu being a mix of Hindi and Urdu akin to Hinglish i.e., Hindi and English). Although in some cases the language has been simplified attempt has been made to retain the thought and the poetic flavor.

 

  • These thoughts have been picked up from various publications. Credit goes to all the original writers who penned down these deep-meaning messages.
