Challenges stretch your mind and make you go beyond the norm.

A challenging story



How Japanese get fresh fish everyday



The Japanese love fresh fish. However, the waters close to Japan have not held many fish for decades. Therefore, to feed the Japanese population, fishing boats got bigger and went farther than ever.

The farther the anglers went, the longer it took to bring in the fish. If the return trip took more than a few days, the fish were not fresh. The Japanese did not like the taste.

To solve this problem, fishing companies installed big freezers on their boats. They would catch the fish and freeze them at sea. Freezers allowed the boats to go farther and stay longer.That was a great solution and they thought that the problem is solved for ever.They celebrated their invention.

They were very disheartened to know that the Japanese could taste the difference between fresh and frozen and they did not like frozen fish. They were not ready to buy them. The frozen fish brought a lower price. Their was again a question of survival of the fishing industry.

After deep discussions, many sleepless nights, again a solution came into their minds. They were doubtful but still they thought that’s its worth working. A genius suggested installing fishing tanks so that fishes must get the natural environment to live. So fishing companies installed fish tanks. They would catch the fish and stuff them in the tanks, fin to fin. They thought that the problem is fixed now

However, the fishes displayed a different nature. Since the size of tanks had their own limitations after a little thrashing around, the fish stopped moving. They were tired and dull, but alive.

Unfortunately, the Japanese could still taste the difference. Because the fish did not move for days, they lost their fresh-fish taste. The Japanese preferred the lively taste of fresh fish, not sluggish fish.

So how did Japanese fishing companies solve this problem? How do they get fresh-tasting fish to Japan? If you were consulting the fish industry, what would you recommend?





How Japanese Fish Stay Fresh

To keep the fish tasting fresh, the Japanese fishing companies still put the fish in the tanks. However, with a management solution, real life solution, now they add a small shark to each tank. The shark eats a few fish, but most of the fish arrive in a very lively state.

The reason, the fish were challenged.





The moral of the story is

Instead of avoiding challenges, jump into them. Beat the heck out of them. Enjoy the game.

If your challenges are too large or too numerous, do not give up. Failing makes you tired. Instead, reorganize. Find more determination, more knowledge, more help.

If you have met your goals, set some bigger goals. Once you meet your personal or family needs, move onto goals for your group, the society, even mankind.

Don’t create success and lie in it. You have resources, skills and abilities to make a difference.

Put a shark in your tank and see how far you can really go!

Lifeline for Our Dreams

When was the last time we talked about our dreams? I guess way back in school! What happened now? Why is there so silence? Where has that energy gone, those dream talks in school? You know what, People don't give up their dreams because they want to. Who wants to give up their dreams? Anybody? The answer is NO! But as people grow up they get a lot of non +ve energy and soon they forget that when they were kids they ever dreamed. Positive energy is going to act like a lifeline for our dreams. Everybody knows about this lifeline, but dreamers actually implement it.

Example: Steve Jobs always think that I want Apple to make the best phone in the world, and it will keep getting better and better year after year. He thinks positive and he does it year after year,  and there are many such examples of people like Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs gets a feeling "I want it and I will have it!" and we all know he has done it and given the world iphone4. There are many people who make phones, but it is only Apple that says "We want to create the best of the best" and that positive thinking is reflected in their products as well.

An ounce of action is worth a ton of theory. Take +ve energy daily and on a regular basis and keep thinking about your dream. Never stop thinking, not even for a single moment, and one day suddenly you will stand up and say and feel from inside "I want it and I will have it!"

Human being is the best creation of GOD because he has the power to dream and the intelligence to think. The world that we see around ourselves, it all came from the mind.

The planes, the space shuttles, F1 cars, the electric bulb, the Internet, 3g video calling, electricity, everything we see around ourselves it came from the mind and from the mind alone. We never created principles, we only discovered and we are still discovering those principles. Once the principle has been discovered we take action and create new things.

The success principles are also the same, they are timeless and they were same in the past, in the present and will be same in the future.

Positive energy is one of the principles for success and no matter what our dream is, if we are not taking action on that principle we will never get it done. We must take action on this principle daily.

I do not know any person who says "I never thought human being will ever goto moon and by chance we did", it was never by chance, "Success is by choice and not by chance", successful people say "I want and I will have it!". If today NASA scientists are working towards landing on mars, it is certain that they will. We just need to discover new principles and create something new. Technology does not exists today but that does not mean it will never exist in future. Where was the world thousands of years ago? No computers, no planes, no iphone4 etc....

The technology and the principles exists not only for Steve Jobs but for everybody; but some people take action and do it whereas some don't.

When TV show host Larry King asked Microsoft's Bill Gates about his incredible wealth and success, Gates said, “Larry, I was at the right place at the right time, and luck had a lot to do with that.” Then he said, “But, Larry, there were a lot of people at the same place I was. One difference was I had vision, I saw the potential that was there … The big difference was I took massive action and immediate action.”

People who take action on +ve principle and chase their dreams, they give a meaning to their life. Their life is well lived and happily lived.

Arise, awake and stop not till the goal is reached!

20 Minutes of Positive Thinking

There is one disease that comes from the mind and the cure for it also exists in the mind. Till now the science has been unable to find that why some people are pessimistic and some optimistic. The human mind is the most complex part of our body and we never cared to study it. Why do we get thoughts? Some people get -ve thoughts whereas some get +ve thoughts? Are thoughts random or they can be controlled? Some people get angry very soon and some are so patient? Can we change our thoughts so that we grow up to become a better person? There are some questions that not even the science can provide evidence for; because the evidence exists in our own mind.

The disease is pessimism and the cure is optimism. Both of them exists in the mind and it is our choice which one to select. As I always say "Success is by choice and not by chance". If today someone is optimistic, it is not by chance but it is his choice to be optimistic and the same is true for pessimistic also.

De-motivation and pessimism, is a disease and it spreads like a virus as we grow up. It spreads from one person to the whole society. The sooner we kill it the better.

20 minutes of positive thinking daily is sufficient enough to live a beautiful life and make all our dreams come true.

The evidence that positive thinking does brings a change around us and makes our life beautiful; lies in our own mind; hence it becomes important that we start controlling our thinking and for 20 minutes daily think positive; by doing this we will prove to ourselves that "Yes! There is a MAGIC in thinking positive".

The more positive we think the more closer we shall come towards our success.

If you say a thousand times to yourself "I have a headache, I have a headache.."; you will end up having a headache. We become what we think, as simple as that.

MARCH towards RICHES with BIG THINKING!!

Hello Friends,

Today's blog is dedicated to your MARCH towards RICHES, the advice that you will get from people on your way to the top and a MAGIC that will happen in your life if you start THINKING BIG.  

Do you believe there is a magic in thinking BIG as professor David says?

I will give you an example.

How India got her Independence?

A man came Mr. Gandhi who believed BIG and different too that we can win Independence  without any fighting. The entire nation BELIEVED in him and we got our freedom.

If you think that was not magic I ask you to pick any two people you know and make them work in harmony for unlimited length of time in whatever you BELIEVE is POSSIBLE. Soon you will find the challenges coming in your way and will see how difficult it is to manage people.

In IT industry it is difficult for a manger to manage a team of 10 people. It is difficult for a CEO to manage a team of few thousands people; but on the contrary it was so easy for Mr. Gandhi to BELIEVE BIG and make the entire nation work in harmony for one common GOAL.

The difference lies in one's thinking; few can THINK BIG whereas some cannot.

No one can make you RICH, people can only tell you to THINK BIG (most of the time it is opposite); it is your own mind that can make you RICH. If we don't use it properly and forget to believe we will only go through failures or stay where we are for the rest of our life.

I don't want that and I BELIEVE you too THINK the same. 

I BELIEVE we are born twice

1) The day a life is born 

2) The day the mind opens up and breaks all walls that the society has put in his mind and he begins to BELIEVE IN SELF. He BEGINS to BELIEVE that he has got the POWER to write his own DESTINY. That is the only rebirth I believe. The old religions said that he was an atheist who did not believe in God. The new religion says that he is an atheist who does not believe in himself. 

The challenge is required in only one thing. How big you can think and how much do you BELIEVE IN WHAT YOU THINK. There should be no doubt in your mind when you THINK BIG. If the BIG THINKING is mixed with doubts, confusions or skepticism the magic is not going to work. It only works when you THINK BIG and without mixing any emotion of the negative mind and you have to retain that thinking until the mental energy has been transformed into its physical equivalent.

These negative emotions are not your own but these are the advices that you will get from people all around you.

 As Napolean Hill says - “The majority of people who fail to accumulate money sufficient for their needs are, generally, easily influenced by the 'opinions' of others. They permit the newspapers and the 'gossiping' neighbors to do their 'thinking' for them. 'Opinions' are the cheapest commodities on earth. Everyone has a flock of opinions ready to be wished upon anyone who will accept them. If you are influenced by 'opinions' when you reach decisions, you will not succeed in any undertaking, much less in that of transmuting your own desire into money.”

You will find - It is easy to believe for one second that you want a Ferrari and forget the next moment if you meet with temporary defeat. That is what the majority of men do, they quit at the very next difficulty. They give up their belief on the very first sign of failure. Winners never quit and quitters never win. It is easy to think big for a moment but the challenge is to THINK BIG ALL THE TIME until it becomes an all consuming passion for you.

What matters is do you give more importance to your decision of THINKING BIG or to the opinions that everyone showers on you or to the temporary defeat that comes on your way. Only you can THINK BIG AND BRING A CHANGE IN YOUR LIFE. BELIEVE me nobody is going to go inside your mind and then make you THINK BIG and GO RICH. If you want a Ferrari it has to be YOUR DECISION FIRST.

Only the path can be shown but it is you and you alone who has to BELIEVE and then walk on it. As I always say Success comes by choice and not by chance - whether you want a Ferrari or maruti for the rest of your life, the choice is yours.

To summarize

1) Start THINKING BIG and BEGIN TO BELIEVE without any doubt. Let every nerve and every drop of blood in your body be filled of BIG THINKING and BIG THINKING ALONE.

2) Stop taking opinions from people all around you (My first blog – These are the people for your entertainment). You don't need any free advice. If you really love opinions and cannot live without them; take from people who already have what you want or who think like you.

3) Once you have made a decision BE COMMITTED, anyone who has gone to RICHES are committed to their decisions. Often people call then stern, obstinate but I tell you in truth only these people GO RICHES!! (I personally do not know anybody who has gone rich and is easily influenced by others)

4) Let people gossip, Success is the best revenge - Keep Marching!

Stand up and fight and MAKE A COMMITMENT TO YOURSELF that you are going to BELIEVE and THINK BIG and LIVE YOUR DREAM LIFE IN REAL and not in REEL.

Meet you at the Beaches and Mountain TOPS of the world.

YOUR LIST of BIG THINGS

Hello Friends,

Today blog is dedicated to the list of BIG THINGS that almost everyone desires in his/her life but only few go out for them and ACCOMPLISH them no matter even if it takes all their life.

This is a fact that only few people in this world have a Ferrari. The reason why only few people have a Ferrari is because many people don't have a Ferrari.

If we analyze the stories of successful people in this world we will find one thing in common – VISION. They all knew what they wanted, what their goals are, what their desires are and where they want to be in this life. They all had made a list of BIG things they wanted in life and MEMORIZED it a millions times by sending signals to their sub conscious mind.

Those were the list of BIG THINGS and not minuscule things.

We have already achieved our small goals. We are engineers, lawyers, MBA professionals, gone to US for MS and some are settled outside. But does that mean that we should stop there? Having settled for small things I BELIEVE now is the right time to THINK BIG and ACHIEVE BIG. If today we set small targets we will find ourselves fighting for small things which the 90% of the population does. They do so because they have not prepared a list of BIG THINGS.

So with a pen and paper in your hand, close your eyes and meditate for sometime and free your MIND from all the boundaries that the society have set upon you and prepare a list of BIG THINGS that you want to settle for in this life.

Look if you had one shot, one opportunity to seize everything you have ever wanted.
Would you capture it or just let it slip?
Your one opportunity is this very life; there is no second chance unless you strongly BELIEVE in REBIRTH. Hehe :)

Do not think how you are going to do it? Just jot it down first and MEMORIZE them.
Memorize them daily a thousands times.

The list of BIG THINGS I want is

    1) Porsche Carrera GT
    2) Porsche Cayman S
    3) Porsche Panamera
    4) Porsche Cayenne
    5) Porsche 911 Turbo
    6) BELIEF in MYSELF I WANT IT and I WILL HAVE IT.

I have told you what I want and as if I care what you are going to say. Who gives a damn?
If people entertain me, that is like tipping gasoline on a flame.

The more people will entertain you the more STRONG you become. All you need to do is THINK BIG and BELIEVE and keep REMINDING YOURSELF of the BIG LIST you MEMORIZED.

There was one man Mr. Edison who had such list. He was responsible was 1000 inventions.
All he did was THINK BIG wrote a LIST and then went AHEAD to DO IT.

Thomas Alva Edison build the first electric bulb – NO BIG DEAL today, really do you think so?
Can you build it today all by yourself without any help from science or your professors. Can you setup a lab all by yourself today to melt the glass, to fill gas inside the bulb and make it air tight and a tiny filament hanging in there? Can you all by yourself? Surely but it will take time. Now IMAGINE what if you did not know how the bulb is going to look like, that you need a filament, glass and gas. Can you IMAGINE that?

That was the challenge that lies with Mr. Edison; all that he knew was “I want it and I will have it” and sent signals to his sub conscious mind that he is going to have it. And it was as if by a stroke of a MAGIC he created light after 10000 experiments. What he did do was THINK BIG and did not QUIT.

He had seen a VISION that I will create light one day and he did it. The how to do it comes to Mr. Edison from the subconscious mind. All that Mr. Edison did was THINK BIG and BELIEVE.

The BELIEVE had gone so deeply inside his subconscious mind that he was comfortable talking to people about creating light. People who did not had this BELIEF they used to entertain him a lot and say “Edison you cannot do it”. But it doesn't matter to Mr. Edison at all and after creating the world's first electric bulb when people asked him what did you learn, he says “I know 10000 ways of not making an electric bulb!!” BLESS YOUR FAILURES

To summarize Mr. Edison had

1) BIG THINKING

2) A VISION and he held onto it unless he had done it.

3) He was DEAF to what others were saying.

4) The BELIEF so POWERFUL that he was comfortable talking to people about achieving the IMPOSSIBLE.

5) He never QUIT because MEN NEVER SAY NO.

If we look at the success stories of other men we find they all had a VISION. I will leave it as a job for you to do some case studies of successful people who already have what is there in your list.

And if today you want a Ferrari all you need to do is send signals to your sub conscious mind.

Your mind is the breeding ground for success. Before achieving any target you must convince yourself first that IT IS POSSIBLE, unless you are sure about doing something the How to do it; is not going to come. All you need to do is to THINK about what you want all DAY LONG and till the day you ACHIEVE IT.
You are not going to BELIEVE in Ferrari once you have bought it; the BELIEF is required on your journey that yes IT'S POSSIBLE, and when you have accomplished then others will begin to BELIEVE in you; who before entertained you on your way to THE TOP.

What if you talked to others about Ferrari and nobody laughs at you.
Everybody says yes you can do it, but it is not as easy as it sounds. It’s always the opposite.You have to make your belief so strong that others will start believing in you that Yes this is one man who is going to have it. Because your confidence will gain trust of others people.

If you are not sure about yourself how can you expect anyone else to be sure about you?
The Ferrari should go inside your subconscious mind and you should be comfortable talking about it to people irrespective of how much they entertain you.

The reason why you feel pain when others laugh is because; for the first time you are being different and the crowd is unable to digest that. They are unable to think how a person whom we know can think like that. As if it's a sin to think BIG. RIP THEM ALL!!

There shall be three stages in your life

1) When people laugh at you. (Many people belong to this category so they don’t even DARE TO THINK)

2) When you get demotivated and have decided to quit and finally (These are people who never actually BELIEVED STRONGLY so they quit)

3) When people laugh at you and you pass that stage then it becomes a habit of listening to such people. It’s become a habit because you have accepted the fact in your sub conscious mind that you are going to have it and people are going to laugh. You feel casual and this third stage is the one that has to be ACHIEVED. (Only 1 in millions are in this stage and I am HAPPY YOU ARE GOING TO BE ONE OF THEM)

There is another stage that I did not mention. That is the zero stage. People who belong here are those who don't have any goals at all. That is why I started the blog with a LIST OF BIG THINGS that you must jot it down. If you don't have any targets I BELIEVE you're reading this BLOG in VAIN.

I would end by summarizing

1) Make BIG GOALS because you BELIEVE you can ACHIEVE them. Small goals you have already achieved, so time is right to THINK BIG.

2) MEMORIZE a list of BIG things you want in life

3) SEND SIGNALS to your subconscious mind daily in the morning when you wake up and at night when you are about to sleep. This is the best time of the day because you are away from all disturbances

4) Make a list of people who are already where you want to be in life. Study them bring books and follow in their footsteps. Goto wiki the best source of knowledge

5) Follow in their footsteps but NEVER WORSHIP THEM, because if you do you would only become the second best, you must learn from the leader but never worship him because you know you can GO BEYOND.

6) Make a plan that how you are going to do it. This is what needs the most thinking, because the same plan does not works for everybody, so think just like Mr. Edison did and ideas to shape your destiny will start coming to your mind. Your mind will start thinking the same way as Mr. Edison thought. Its different ideas only that led to inventions and that will lead you buy your list of BIG THINGS. So NEVER STOP THINKING.

7) When that idea comes or if it comes from someone else, stop and prove it to you it is going to work.

8) Action speaks louder than words, so START AT ONCE.

Meet you at the beaches and Mountain TOPS of the World.

The people who Entertain you on YOUR WAY TO THE TOP

Hi Friends, 
  
This is going to be my first blog. I have been thinking for a long time to start blogging since I like to talk about MONEY, WEALTH, RICHNESS, BEAUTIFUL LIFE and in nutshell BIG THINGS.

I am not good at the General Knowledge a lot of people have around themselves.
All I want to talk about is NICE LIFE, NICE CARS, NICE VILLAS because that makes me comfortable.
Actually a lot of people feel uncomfortable when I TALK BIG, about a home in BURJ DUBAI, about a CARRERA GT and people say to me "Nikhil Stop talking about all these things!!"
Their face tells me they are getting uncomfortable; and then they try to stop me from thinking all these things. But many don't know IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO DEMOTIVATE ME. 
 
People who know me they are aware of the fact that I AM CRAZY ABOUT CARS and I WANT A PORSCHE and in FUTURE I AM GOING TO HAVE IT. 
 

I never had driven a first hand car before I bought myself my first car. I have driven two Maruti's 800, the first one was third hand and the second one was second hand.

Driving Maruti was a nice exp in itself, no AC, no STEREO (actually stereo was there as an antique piece),  the alternator used to go out now and then and car running on battery, timing issues and a lot more things. But I enjoyed it a lot.


I made it a point to buy myself a CAR not just car when I first get my first job. People in this coutry are crazy about sedans not hatchback.

I did some calculation on paper and found that I am getting 25000 pm and the EMI of the car is 21000, so I could still make a Profit of 4000. Wow I am good at Mathematics. The CAR was HONDA CIVIC.

So I started saying to people that I am going to buy this car and that was my biggest mistake I did. They started entertaining me, laughed at me, mocked at me, that you are a FOOL you are going to waste all your money. It's a dead investment, invest it smartly in property and buy a nice house.

I was given a lot of advice and I was deeply thinking in my MIND, what just happened to these people?

I just told them what I am going to do and they are giving me all sort of advices. Are they psychologically correct? Have GOD given them brains?
If they invest so smartly then why are they NOT RICH? Why they don't have BIG CARS, BIG HOUSES, BIG VACATIONS (1 week leave is a PAIN IN ASS in IT Industry). They are 10-15 years older than me and Why are they living a small life?

Frankly I did not found an answer until 4 years after buying that car I read the book "THE MAGIC OF THINKING BIG"



So I bought car 4 years back and to be honest it was all planned. I had done planning for the next 10 years before buying that car, and the plan was pretty simple.

Following were the things in MIND while buying that car

1) I am not going to stay at 25000 for a long time.
2) It is imp to enjoy life at this moment so that I remember it for my entire life.
3) I wanted to have fun at high speeds.
4) That will give me an edge to further buy PORSCHE since everytime I sit in this car I get a feel "I CAN THINK and DO BIG"
5) I will be in a position to visit PORSCHE showroom in delhi and plan ahead which I did on the 3rd day of buying this car. 
6) EMI will last only 5 years, I can plan a house after that, NO BIG DEAL.
7) STAY FOCUSED ON PORSCHE.
 

I have been reading THINK and GROW RICH for over a decade now and the author has really inspired me through success stories and case studies of millionaires the author studied that Why some people just THINK and GROW RICH?

If you fight for small things you will get small things
If you fight for BIG things you will get BIG things.
Fight for Corolla and you will get Corolla because you BELIEVE it's within your REACH.
Fight for FERRARI and you will get lots of demotivation from others, your friends, your
family because they think you cannot do it. But look into yourself, in the mirror, in the
eyes of the TIGER and does anybody knows you better than yourself.
What people cannot do themselves will stop you from doing also, and you can test that by asking them BIG THINGS.
The reason why they don't have a FERRARI is because they are atheists.
He is an atheist who does not BELIEVE  in himself.
These people have been chosen by GOD to make you STRONG, they are
for your entertainment!! so use them and make yourself STRONG!! or you will become one of them.
GOD has shown you that you don't want to become like them and I'm sure you won't.
BELIEVE you can buy a FERRARI, then How to do it will come by itself.
You will find that the journey to the top is simple, all you need to do is become
DEAF to what others are saying!!
If you BELIEVE in yourself soon people around you will start believing in you.
I BELIEVE anyone can buy a FERRARI, you just need to change your perception and the way you THINK.
BECOME LORD OF BIG THINGS. There is a MAGIC in THINKING BIG!!
 
And always remember whenever someone says NO to you,
believe me there is a pyscological reason for it.
Don't get demotivated, they are not saying NO to you
but they are telling you what they cannot do.
Isn't it entertaining? If you want to know what others cannot do simply ASK THEM BIG THINGS; and they will burp out a whole lot of things. Crying like a baby.
Actually you are demotivating them by asking BIG THINGS. hehe :)
The consequences can be very bad of asking small people BIG THINGS.
I warn you to be DEAF and DUMB after asking such things.
and If you cannot remain quite then say to them "I am sorry but I am not responsible for your small thinking. There are many people like me in this world who THINK BIG and I will find them. You can move mountains but you cannot move the WILL of MEN."
 
I am telling you with my exp that
1) Never indulge with an argument with such people. Keep it short and to the point.
2) STAY POSITIVE and start repeating in your MIND "I want it and I will have it"
3) And finish the argument ASAP and if you think you can't then just walk away from the
sight of these people the very moment.
 
If you stay long;  they are going to FIRE so many negatives onto you that if you have not prepared yourself well for the worst situation, you are going to break down. 
And if that happens go immediately to google and fill yourself with positive comments or talk to a person who knows your plans and understand them.
The idea is to stay optimistic so that you get what you desire in this life.

Let people only entertain you, let them not take your spirit away of buying a PORSCHE and a FERRARI. 

Never say I wish I had a FERRARI, say I BELIEVE I CAN BUY A FERRARI.
 
HAPPY BELIEVING!!  

You can do anything you SET YOUR MIND to MAN!!
