• 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!

    MORAL: Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a steppingstone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.

    Remember the five simple rules to be happy:

    1. Free your heart from hatred – Forgive.

    2. Free your mind from worries – Most never happens.

    3. Live simply and appreciate what you have.

    4. Give more.

    5. Expect less from people but more from yourself.

    You have two choices… smile and close this page, or pass this along to someone else to share the lesson and make them smile.

  • There are various occasions that come across in life where we are required to deliver a speech or just give a few words. At that point, the first few thoughts that strike our minds are “What do I speak?” “What do I not speak?” “How do I say what I want to say?” “How can I retain the interest of the audience?” Well, here are a few points that I keep in mind during every motivational session. These points are all backed by my personal experience in the field of motivation.

    1. Include as many senses as possible

    A monotonous speech or lecture would make the audience go:

    In order to avoid this, include the audience into your session. Help them participate in the topic. Make sure that they not only use their ears but also their eyes by making the presentation more visual (using a powerpoint slide or other means). Help them get into the session by physically involving them through various activities which require them to act.

    2. Never pass any negative:

    As you turn in front of your audience, you need to understand that you are given a great responsibility. Your each word can immensely influence your audience. In such a case, passing any negative or comparing things that may seem that you are debasing someone can backfire you. So avoid giving negative at all costs.

    3. Add the essence of humor:

    Laughter not only instills interest but also assists in enhancing the bond between the audience and the speaker. Being all too serious, without even a smile may lead to a frog-cold session.

    4. Tell a story to make a point:

    In Skill with people, Les Giblin highlights the point Whenever you make a point, tell a story and whenever you tell a story, make a point.” Stories add spice into the presentation. They help stimulate the brain and makes the audience to imagine what is being said, in turn, ensuring proper apprehension of the point being made.

    5. Know your audience:

    It would prove to be very valuable if you know your target audience in advance because that will let you mold the content of your speech according to them and their knowledge. Having the information about the people you are going to address would also aid in helping them to relate to what you are saying. For instance, if you talk to management students about how to dissect a frog, it would not have much impact. On the contrary, if you talk to doctors about how to increase the output of their subordinates, that would not hit the iron either. So, you need to make the content according to your audience’s knowledge.

    To conclude, I can say that a sure-fire speaker is the one who can successfully have his audience’s attention, keep it, maintain it and at the end leave them by giving something worth thinking of.

  • Graphology is an amazing science to know enough of the things about a person and his personality to anticipate whether he has the qualities of a successful person or not. While there are so many things required to achieve success, one such thing is that of coming out of adversities and challenges easily. Adding on to the list is the ability to accept change and have high goals in life which are also important to achieve success.

    Your letter “t” plays a vital role in you being successful. And by success I doesn’t mean only with career success, it can also relate to a successful relationship between two individuals. So are your “t”s hurdles to success?

    Before we get the answer to the question, I want you to write a small note of about 5-6 lines having lots of “t”s on a piece of paper. This is important because after reading further you may never be able to write an unbiased “t” for yourself.

    Have you done with the note? So lets see whether your “t” is a hurdle or a booster for your success.

    The first question I want to ask is: Where is your t-bar (the horizontal line) crossing the t? Low, middle or top? Take note of that.

    Low t-bar

    A low t-bar looks something like this. Ignoring the other factors in the handwriting that affect this person’s personality, her low t-bar is a symbolic representation of her staying in a bad relationship for a prolonged time. The guy with her mistreats her, uses her like a doormat and she doesn’t say a word. Why? Because she believes she has no choice, she doesn’t have any better option (which is obviously not true).

    You can rightly compare the concept of t-bar to the hurdles race. The t-bar represents the obstacle which the athletes have to jump. The higher the t-bar, the more difficult challenges the athlete (the person) is ready to face. On the contrary, a low t-bar signifies a personality who can’t handle a high or medium level challenges. Thus, the person who is ready to face higher level of challenges would undoubtedly be at a better position than the person who is happy with low level challenges.

    If your t-bar is low, it is recommended not to raise it immediately because it can lead to various other personality compilations, including aggression, physical violence etc. In order to get proper guidance to increase your t-bar and improve your personality with the help of graphology contact using the following form.

  • Today we’ll analyze the handwriting of Rabindranath Tagore, who was a Bengali poet, Brahmo religionist, visual artist, playwright, novelist, and composer. His works reshaped Bengali literature and music in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He became Asia’s first Nobel laureate when he won the 1913 Nobel Prize in Literature. Two songs from his canon are now the national anthems of Bangladesh and India: the Amar Shonar Bangla and the Jana Gana Mana respectively.

    Here is a sample of his handwriting:

    The handwriting reveals that Rabindranath Tagore was a quick thinker and could easily play with words. He had a great sense of using the right word at the right place. His thirst for knowledge was unquenchable. He was a philosophical person, living most of his time in his own thoughts and ideas. A person open to ideas, he was a quick learner. He could grasp things very easily (though tend to forget them easily too!).

    Its not surprising to see his desire for culture in his handwriting which makes him a great writer as well as a great music composer.

    Rabindranath hated rules and loved freedom, doing what he wished to do. He was stubborn and somewhere disregarded the systems prevailed that time.

    His handwriting reveals that he had a healthy ego, though his married life was not good.

    Let’s take a look at his signature and see what it reveals to us. Here is his signature:

    Though many things are already listed, but some of the very interesting things are revealed from his Signature. Firstly, he was a creative person and demanded respect and dignity wherever he went i.e.where he was not regarded properly, he left that place.

    He was diplomatic (as already said, he was good with words and knew what to speak in which situation). He had a desire to get attention. He did extra efforts to get attention wherever he went and always wanted to be the center of attraction. Which ultimately might have lead him to become such a renowned person.

    Rabinranath Tagore’s handwriting and signature revealed a lot many things about him which are hard to find even after reading many books about him. His high determination, thirst for knowledge, ability to understand the words all worked as a stepping stone for him to rise up high in his life.

     

  • There is a saying which goes like women and elephants never forget an injury. To what extent is it true is hard to tell, but graphology can individually answer if a person is capable of forgiving others. I received this handwriting sample from a female who was not able to attend my motivational seminar but was impressed by how her friends (who attended it) described their experience.

    Will you hurt her?This little sample, though a little blurry, revealed many of her personality traits. But what set her apart from the rest? It was her personality to sense everything to the extreme. Well, that’s right! You might have seen resilient people who after losing a member of their family are able to bounce back to their normal state of mind within a few days; while on the other hand, you might have come across people who would cry over for weeks or months (or sometimes even years!) for some petty disappointment such as not getting the ticket to watch their favorite actor’s movie.

    And the problem is not just that. These are very sensitive people. As this trait has its pros so are its cons. If this person likes the little things you do then this person will equally dislike the things you don’t do which he/she expects you to do. Whatever you do or say, whether positive or negative, this person will take everything to heart. SO BEWARE!!!

    How to spot such a person?

    Well, there are various traits we have to check for before suggesting that a person feels everything with intensity. But if you look at the sample, you will clearly notice that the impressions of the writings written on the back page are visible from the front. This is one of the various traits which suggests a person feels everything to a greater magnitude.

    What can you do for this person?

    Never ever HURT!!!! Because this person will take it personally and would never forget till the end of his/her life. Being over-sensitive is actually a self-devastating trait in itself. You may develop unnecessary anger and it may sometime lead to RESENTMENT (another big trait, which research has shown, is found in almost all the cancer patients).

    If you find this trait in yourself or anyone in your social circle, give them all the love and care you can and consult a graphologist to help them get out of this quicksand.

  • Life is full of competition. And we have to fight to get to the top, whether its for becoming the class representative, top an exam, win a race or be the richest man of the world.

    And it is also true that we have to get dirty to be at the top because if you are in a battle you will definitely get dirty.

    But it is not necessary to fight every battle, is it?

    If a pig annoys you, are you going to fight with him??? Are you going to get dirty with him???

    If you do so, then let me tell you that you’ll get annoyed more because pigs love to get dirty.

    The point is: on your way to success, you have to fight many battles and avoid some too (which are not really necessary) to win the final war.

    So pick your battles wisely.

     

  • Before we talk about the book, let me give a brief description about its author, Napolean Hill. He was born in a poor uneducated family. His step mother, who was an educated lady, traded a gun for a typewriter and taught him how to use it. He started writing wonderful articles and stories from the age of fifteen.

    His book “Road to Success” is a compilation of articles written by him when he studied the lives of successful people. He has symbolized these articles as ‘Billboards on the road to success’. According to Hill, these characteristics are sine-qua-non (prerequisite) of achieving a massive success.

    A man’s success should be judged, not by what he had achieved, but by the obstacles he has overcome. Hill introduces the reader with this thought-provoking line in the first chapter itself. You can very well anticipate, what the final chapters can have in store for the avid reader.

    On the plus points, the book is short, fast moving and full of examples. On the contrary, too much monotonousness leads to boredom, loss of concentration and sometimes skipping of the essential points (which victimized me too).

    One thing that I was easily able to relate to people who always complaint about their luck was this:

    There are those who do the right thing only when necessity kicks them from behind, and these get indifference instead of honors, and a pittance for pay.
    This kind spends most of the time polishing a bench with a hard luck story.

    Well, the reality from author’s point of view is that successful people are too busy succeeding to waste any of time in criticizing anyone (or their luck).

    Overall, it is a wonderful read and should be read if you like to read a pure non-fiction self-help book.

  • In our thought-process challenges are embedded as negative things which we should not face. If challenges are there, it means there is some problem. But some people have a different perception.

    As Edgar Allan Poe states, “Never to suffer would be like never to have been blessed.”

    If you are facing challenges in you life, you are really lucky, because a challenge is nothing but an opportunity to progress. If you overcome the challenge, you progress and if you don’t, still you progress by learning something from the failure.

    So, challenges actually create a win-win situation for us.

    If next time you face any challenge, say out loud, “Thank God for making me lucky.”

     

  • It was an amazing experience to be part of the prize distribution function at RKS International Public School (Janer) held in the last week of November. For me, it was a very nostalgic and emotional experience because it was during such functions that I found myself being improved and my energies rekindled when I received token of appreciation in the form of medals, trophies and the enchanting clapping of the audience. Frankly, it is an experience, a feeling that can’t be put in words, even a mere try to put it in words would do injustice to the whole experience. I would say in order to experience it, you need to be part of it, being on the receiving end at last after giving in and proving your worth – an elevating experience in itself.

    It was wonderful to watch these little kids showing sportsmanship and encouraging their fellow competitors for their victory. Everyone carried smiles on their face.

    The different team houses, namely yellow, blue, green and red encouraged their team members whenever they got the prize. Not only this, the students that won numerous prizes shared their medals with the ones who didn’t get any so that everyone can be happy – a quality we adults should learn.

     All in all, it was an elevating moment for everyone part of that function. For the teachers, who guided and supported the kids during their competition, this recognition of their efforts was exhortative.

    I believe that these little experiences of recognition and appreciation mould a personality into it’s best shape and make the kids ready to have a “go-getter” attitude.
