What happened to 8 wealthiest people in the world?

“In 1923, eight of the wealthiest people in the world met. Their combined wealth, estimated, exceeded the wealth of the government of the United States. These men knew how to make a living and accumulate wealth. 25 years later.
1. President of the largest steel company, Charles Schwab, died bankrupt.

2. President of the largest gas company, Howard Hubson, went insane.

3. One of the greatest commodity traders, Arthur Cutton, died insolvent.

4. President of the New York Stock Exchange, Richard Whitney, was sent to jail.

5. A member of the President’s Cabinet, Albert Fall, was pardoned from jail.

6. The greatest “bear” on Wall Street, Jessie Livermore, committed suicide.

7. President of the world’s greatest monopoly, Ivar Krueger, committed suicide.

8. President, Bank of International Settlement, Leon Fraser, committed suicide.

They forgot to make a life! Just made Money!

Money provides food for the hungry, medicine for the sick, clothes for the needy, but is only a medium of exchange.

We need two kinds of education.
One that teaches us how to make a living and one that teaches us how to live.
People are engrossed in their professional life and neglect their family, health and social responsibilities.

Our kids are sleeping when we leave home.
They are sleeping when we come home.
Twenty years later, we’ll turn back, and they’ll all be gone !!!!!.

Without water, a ship cannot move.
The ship needs water, but if the water gets into the ship, the ship will face problems and sink.

Similarly we live in a time where earning is a necessity but let not the earning enter our hearts, for what was once a means of living will be become a means of destruction.
 

So take a moment and ask yourself….has the water entered my ship?”

Restrain

Restraint is the key

Practical hints to Growing children

We often come across rebellious children crisscrossing ways with their parents while they grow in their age thinking they have discovered the whole vista of knowledge. They feel that without restrictions, they could achieve much more; the constant nagging of parents presents only stumbling block in their ways though they are yet to discover what the ways are & why they are.

Wilful behaviour though initially gives some superficial measures of happiness however in the long run; it proves to be deleterious pill. Living beings & discipline (code & rules) ought to move together. Human being highest in order naturally ought to be in higher class of discipline.

Free will is re enacting of unconscious habits. On being angry on someone, one tends to say things without measure which causes frustration & anxiety which is avoidable & regretful. Wisdom of restraint is an art we are generally stripped of in fast paced self oriented & closed world. With restrain, we can only see re-enactment & replay of predictable behaviour pattern which is self driven. Without restraint; we give up & become pawn in hands of others. With restrain, there is window of opportunity. Much to the contrary, the restrain causes freedom from our self sabotaging habits & fear based patterns. The day edifice of habits start collapsing; our enlightenment & evolution commences.

a.       Decide first the intention to break the habit pattern with sincerity. Pattern may be nail biting, eating poorly, arguing too great length, smoking etc.

b.      When you notice the emergence of habit pattern, pause, take breath, step away from the pattern.

c.       Congratulate yourself fro breaking the habit pattern.

When one begins to dismantle the habits, it may not happen immediately; continue without break or disappointment. Come out more strongly against shameless habits  as they are enemies from within which carries potential to rot in extremely ugly form.

Motivation lecture in Anand Eng College. Agra

It was nice to address the first year students who had just stepped into the portals of the engineering college - Anand Eng College, Agra in presence of their parents. In compressed time frame of 10 minutes, I tried to motivate them to stage forward in calibrated manner to over come odds.

Thought 1

1.    The strength of positive thought is 100 times more than negative thought. One of the ways to easily change your thought process or pattern is by  being aware of how you feel.

2.    Our thoughts create our feelings. When we feel negative; angry, resentful, jealous that is the trigger for you to decide to change. That is the time you choose positive statement, “All is well in my world.” The attempt to associate with this thought is to be done on repeated basis. As soon as the negative thought is about to swamp you, you make a pause & let the positive thought do its needful influence on your thinking process.

    

    Remember the positive will attract positive.

3.    Thoughts are energy. Choose to think positively & be responsible for your happiness.

Fight it out

LESSON No 1

Lt Col Atul Tyagi

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a
well. The animal cried piteously for hours as
the farmer tried to figure out what to do.

Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the
well needed to be covered up anyway;
it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.
He invited all his neighbors to come over and
help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began
to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the
donkey realized what was happening and cried
horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement
he quieted down.

A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally
looked down the well. He was astonished at what
he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his
back, the donkey was doing something amazing.
He would shake it off and take a step up.
As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel
dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it
off and take a step up.

Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey
stepped up over the edge of the well and
happily trotted off!  

Either you accept what comes your way or fight it out & live.

Ego

Ego eats lots of energy: to maintain your ego, a lot of 

energy is needed. Without ego you start feeling light – 

Ego is like a big burden which you are carrying; when 

you are walking carrying a heavy burden, 

automatically you will get tired very fast. And with no 

ego you feel light; you don’t feel tired with that.

Can We Over look Life Skills?

Can We Over look Life Skills?

As the wind of globalization blow with fierce speed, we witness  stiff collisions & neck to neck competition in professional domains. Today run of the mills, conventional & fatigued ways will not help in solving issues resting on growing quagmire of complexities & ever increasing trickiness. The organizations have upped the ante to explore innovative practices, talent & technology to ensure fulfillment of business objectives. 
Organizations are not legging in realizing that it is people on both sides who are important. It is people who can make difference to the business fortunes by their interaction with customers. People can make the difference not only because of knowledge & professional skills but because of the presentation & implementation of the same which is possible on account of temperamental stability, flexibility, attitudinal orientations & leadership qualities which have direct impact on cross cultural dimensions & communications.  Communication consciousness with thoughts consciousness has become the need of the hour to reap the benefits of formal education where the role of teachers, mentors & trainers has a lot to contribute.
Amazing developments & mind boggling changes in all dimensions in personal & business landscapes have brought spectacular impact on organization settings. Life skills have become utmost important tools to combat threats emanating from growing pursuits for materialism & physical comforts & achieve individual excellence & organizational effectiveness.
