This might sound rather ridiculous to you. But the fact of the matter is that this is the gospel truth. It is our negative bent of mind that gets us into problems. Most of our problems have their origin in situations. But we tend to look at situations as problems. If...

You Don’t Need Capital to Start a Business
Who says you need capital to start a business of your own? You may spend the rest of your life trying to put together the seed capital you have in your mind to start a business. If you are sold to the idea that you need a huge capital investment to start a business,...
Be Original—Be Yourself
You are not a mass-produced, factory-made item. You are a unique piece of creation. You are an original specimen of human being different from all other living beings. Not only that, you are also different from all other human beings. You are unique. Don’t give up...
You Can Do All
You can do everything so long as you believe in yourself…so long as you believe that you can do it. Those who depend on others to move ahead in life seldom go far. Remember: the dense forests you see might have made a humble beginning with just one tree. All it takes...

Those who are enamoured by the grand success of their peers need to know that success does not drop from the blue. You have to toil day in and day out. You have to improve yourself by outperforming yourself from how you performed the previous day. You must learn to...
Find The Right Place
No matter where you stand on the academic front. No matter how highly you are qualified, you may still be bandied about and humiliated because the people you choose to work with or are forced to work with due to a quirk of fate, may not value your education or...
Happy Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day is, perhaps, the mother of all the days dedicated to different causes in the world. God cannot be everywhere all at once. So, God sent a mother to each family. This resonates with me because I have experienced God on earth in the form of my mother. She...
That’s the Way, I Like it
When someone goes out of one’s way to help you, be ready with a big thank you. And, say that with a smile on your face. And, say that in a way that makes one feel that you are really grateful for what the person did for you. If you don’t do that, you are an ingrate....
