Is your presentation of your“Out self”the same as your“Inner Self”?
O
nce there was a king
who had no children
and needed to choose a
successor. Thousands of children
came to the palace. He gave
them all a seed and asked to plant
the seed in a pot and tend it for
a year. When they return in a
year, the king would choose his
successor. There was a boy named
arjun who received his seed and
returned to his village. He chose
a pot and put some soil into it. He
watered his pot every day. After
a few weeks, there were signs
of life in all but not in arjun’s
pot. The weeks passed and he
continued to water his pot. Other
children had trees, flowers and
leafy shrubs. Poor arjun still had
nothing growing in his pot. A year
passed and it was time to return
to the palace. He was anxious as
his pot still showed no signs of
life. His mother explained him
that whatever the consequences
were, he had to return to the king
and show his barren pot. All the
children had magnificent plants
and they were wondering which
one the king would choose.
Arjun was embarrassed because
of his lifeless pot. The King
came out and started looking
at impressive plants. Then the
king came to arjun and asked
him what happened to his seed.
Arjun replied that he watered the
pot every day, but nothing ever
grew. The king finally finished
his assessment. He called arjun
and said that I gave you all a seed
which was boiled and would not
grow but I can see thousands of
plants and only one barren pot, so
Arjun will be my heir.
M
oral: Integrity and
courage are more
important values for
leadership than proud displays.
A Short Story - The Emperor’s Seed
P
inning all your happiness
on others is a gamble.
When you do that two
things can happen. You may win
and you may lose. When you
lose the gamble; definitely you
will be disappointed and you feel
rejected.
W
hen you win the
gamble of pinning
your happiness on
others you become euphoric. But
this euphoria does not last long.
You crave for more approval
hence more and more gambles.
T
hen your life becomes a
gamble of approval and
rejection. Sometimes you
are happy when you get approval
and the next moment you feel
miserable because you don’t.
The reason is simple because you
have knowingly or unknowingly
allowed others to approve your
happiness.
T
he solution: Somebody
can enhance your life if
you have a life first. That
is the base upon which something
can be developed. Similarly
happiness is a base that you have
to create for yourself first.
N
obody can make you
happy or sad. Somebody
can make you ‘more
happy’ or ‘less happy’ if you
have a base of happiness. If you
have a base of unhappiness then
somebody can make you ‘less
unhappy’ or ‘more unhappy’.
Thus you need to create a base of
happiness.You need to find simple
and effective ways to create
happiness in your life without
being dependent on others.
W
hen somebody adds
more to your happiness
it becomes more
and when somebody subtracts
happiness it becomes less. But
happiness remains because; it’s
your creation. Nobody can take
it away from you. So don’t pin
all your happiness on others. It’s
a gamble and it will give you
anxiety and keep you miserable
most of the time. Create small
happiness in your life.

Happiness is the highest level of success.
Am I Doing What I Can?
T
he important question is
not whether we are doing
the best.The question is, are
we doing our best? I think this much
responsibility we all have towards
ourselves. I must do what I can.
I
n my opinion the worst human
emotionisGuilt.Itkills.Oneofthe
main reasons for guilt is to know
that I’ve not done what I could have.
So, to save ourselves from this worst
emotion and its consequences let
us resolve to give our best. I am
certainly not asking to be the Best;
my only suggestion is to do Our
Best! As you cannot hire someone
to do your push-ups, similarly you
need to perform your own duties to
the fullest possible manner.
D
o your best and leave the
rest. Generally people
like the latter part of the
statement as it is easy to implement.
But before leaving the rest you need
to ensure that you do your best!!
S
atisfaction is a word in
which Satis (first five letter)
is a Latin word which means
enough. So, the exact meaning of
satisfaction means that a feeling
which arises after putting in enough
action. “Everyone can’t be great but
everyone can do whatever they do
with greatness.” So, let us do our
best and keep making it better
every day. Let us ask ourselves the
following: Am I doing my best for
my health? Am I doing my best for
my family? Am I doing my best for
my society? Am I doing my best for
my organization? Am I doing my
best for my customer?
I
f your answer to above is ‘yes’.
Great. If not, let us pull our socks,
roll up our sleeves and start
giving our best to whatever we do.
S
torytelling is the most power-
ful way to put ideas into the
world today. – Robert Mc Kee
S
tories and the art of storytell-
ing have had a powerful ef-
fect on us which binds the
people of all age group and that’s
why it has become one of the most
powerful persuasion techniques to
influence people. It is a part of our
culture both in a ‘formal’ and ‘infor-
mal’way because everybody enjoys
a good story whether it is a story of
a novel, a movie or simply the de-
scription of an experience. It put our
whole brain to work, not just a part
of it. It directly touch listener’s heart
and connects with them where the
full-fledge data doesn’t connect be-
cause data can only persuade peo-
ple but it doesn’t inspire them to
act in the same way whereas with
the help of the story we can fire the
imagination and stirs the soul of the
people and they will feel more en-
gaged and remember it more. I be-
lieve that storytelling is very impor-
tant for the success because stories
are memorable, it travel further and
inspires the action.
F
urther, it not only inspires the
organization with its compel-
ling character which makes
them think and feel in the same
manner but it also sets the vision,
give important lessons and defines
the culture and values to its people.
It is one of the best way to spread
the message and brings the change
through storytelling because sto-
ries easily stick in people’s mind and
helps them to remember the ideas
and concepts. It is also one of the
best way to communicate and con-
nect with the employees, custom-
ers, colleagues and so on.

3 Keys to Enjoy Life ...
Three engineers and three
accountants were traveling by
train to a conference. At the
station, the three accountants
each bought tickets and watched
as the three engineers bought
only one ticket.
How are three people going to
travel on only one ticket?” asked
an accountant. Watch and you’ll
see”, answered an engineer.
They all boarded the train. The
accountantstooktheirrespective
seats, but the three engineers all
crammed into a rest room and
closed the door behind them.
Shortly after the train departed,
the conductor came around
collecting tickets. He knocked
on the restroom door and said,
“Ticket, please”.
The door opened just a crack
and a single arm emerged with a
ticket in hand.
The conductor took it and moved
on. The accountants saw this and
agreed it was a quite clever idea.
So, after the conference, the
accountants decide to copy the
engineers on the return trip and
save some money (being clever
with money, and all that). When
they got to the station, they
bought a single ticket for the
return trip.To their astonishment,
the engineers didn’t buy a ticket
at all.
Howareyougoingtoridewithout
a ticket”? - said one perplexed
accountant. Watch and you’ll
see”, answered an engineer.
When they boarded the train,
the three accountants crammed
into a restroom and the three
engineers crammed into another
one nearby. The train departed.
Shortly afterward, one of the
engineers left his restroom and
walked over to the restroom
where the accountants were
hiding. He knocked on the door
and said,“Ticket, please.”
Moral: Don’t copy others, use
your own brain.

5. Concentrated thoughts produce desired results. - Zig Ziglar
I
t often happens in our day to
day conversation with any of
our friend, colleague, parents,
siblings or any other that our light
and happy talks suddenly takes a U
turnandslowlyandgraduallyends
up on a bitter note. It all happens
because of some unintentional
statements spoken which leads
to a sourness in the relationship
and we fail to understand that
suddenly what exactly happened?
Now what is left with one person
is to question another one – Hey!
What happened? But hua kya?
And the answer usually we get is
–“nothing”. But amazingly this
“nothing” consists of many hidden
stories, many unsaid words and
many boiling emotions. There are
two basic reasons why a person
piles up the issue – one is that the
person feels like why to share as I
am more than sufficient to handle
the issue. So, why to share? Why
to complain? And that’s ok. In
one word ego may be. Another
reason is that we always think
that the another person should
understand on her/his own, why
should I brief myself to him/
her, as she/he knows me well as
we are close. Hence, we are left
out with two things either keep
collecting the misunderstandings,
grudges within you and stress
yourself or realize and release it
as the earliest, and set yourself
and other free and at peace, the
choice is entirely yours. The two
equations of relationship are -
R
EALIZE + RELEASE
= RELIEF IN
RELATIONSHIP
R
EALIZE + RESIST =
RESTLESSNESS IN
RELATIONSHIP
I
t might take a while to realize
that something wrong has
occurred, and the moment
we realize it, we should release
it because the time which we will
devote in pilling up the issues
could be utilized in a better
manner, could be used in giggling
together. When you release you
are free to enjoy things for what
they are instead of what they
should be. We should try to build a
bridge in our relationship instead
of wall around us. Be with those
who bring out the best in you, not
the stress in you. Try to realize
and release the negatives to bring
the relief in relationships rather
than realize and resist and bring
restlessness in relationships.
