TIME TO WAKE UP

Hello to All my dear Friends.

This message is for those who thinks regarding Politics, Corruption, Economic Condition, and everything related to improving the current situation of our Country i.e. India.

Firstly, I would like to mention that this message is not in support of any public or private organization or the Government and is also not for defending or accusing anyone for anything. It’s just my personal point of view. As I am not posting my views frequently on the social media, here I take my time to write this. So this might be I little long and a bit un-organized. Its just like another essay which I used to write in my school days.

I just don’t understand why everyone is so busy finding mistakes of others, why one cant look at himself and think that so and so in me or what I do is not correct & up to mark. So I should correct myself. Just pointing out the bad elements in the society won’t improve it. Either do something or just see what others are doing. If one don’t have the power of doing something, he or she doesn’t have the right to say something (Do something here is used for improving oneself).

EVERYONE IS BUSY CLEANING THE GLASS FROM OUTSIDE WHILE THE DIRT IS INSIDE.

Nothing is going to change until & unless each & everyone practice what is right.

Today everyone is in a hurry & wants everything instantly. But unfortunately there is no instant solution to the way one thinks about his/her life, the way one leads his/her life, one’s day-to-day activities. it takes a lot of time to change someone’s way of living, thinking & working. So if you think that all of a sudden one day will come when everything is our country will be perfect than I am sorry to say you have to come out of your dreams.

There are some questions we need to ask our self before asking for a better place to live in. Would like to give examples in the best possible way I can imagine, which is as follows: -

1)   Why the Rs.100 given to the traffic inspector is correct & why only the contract obtained by a builder by giving bribe is wrong.

2)   Why do we pay extra money when the time comes to make our passport, license or any other official documents.

3)   Not asking for the bill to save service tax

4)   Travelling without ticket & thinking will do some setting with the TC in Train.

5)   Only working for 6-7 hours honestly while the duty hours are 9.

6)   In a line for anything want to be on the first place.

These are just mere examples, which I think almost everyone might have gone through in our country. So here is my question that why what we do is correct and the one at the other end is wrong. It’s just the way of thinking what we need to change because there is nothing we can change other than what we think. It’s the approach towards getting things done which needs to be modified.

EVEN A THOUSAND ANNA HAZARE OR BABA RAMDEV CANT CORRECT WHAT ONE PRACTICES IN HIS/HER DAY-TO-DAY LIFE.

No one is sitting on our head to check what we are doing is right or wrong. We can change the Governance but unless we don’t follow what is right, nothing will change. What we have is more than 125 crore of population, which needs a change. How can we think we can change our country just by replacing 543 peoples. Think over it.

So if we want that at least there should be some improvement in the current conditions of our country, we should start from the small day to day activities and look into our own Acts. And hope that one day this small plant of our correct & legal actions will turn into a tree to make our country a better place to live in.

Before Concluding I want to say that I am not the one who believes that there is no hope of change in the current situations but the one who believes in changing my own life than to expect change from others.

Its all up for now nothing else coming in my mind right now, and there are many things which I had forgot to mention but would continue to express myself if allowed by you people.

Regards

Huzefa Hashmi

A SHORT STORY WITH A BEAUTIFUL MESSAGE

This is a short story about a Father & his Daughter.


A Little girl and her father were crossing a bridge.
The father was kind of scared so he asked his little daughter,
'Sweetheart, please hold my hand so that you don't fall into the river.'
The little girl said, 'No, Dad. You hold my hand.'
'What's the difference?' Asked the puzzled father.
'There's a big difference,' replied the little girl.

'If I hold your hand and something happens to me,
chances are that I may let your hand go.
But if you hold my hand, I know for sure that no matter what happens,
you will never let my hand go.'


In any relationship, the essence of trust is not in its bind, but in its bond.

So hold the hand of the person who loves you rather than expecting them to hold yours...
This message is too short....... but carries a lot of Feelings.

5 Secrets for Turning Failure Into Success

T H I N K ! ! !

What if, starting today, the word 'no' didn't stop you anymore?

What if every time you heard the word no, you became stronger, more powerful, and more resilient?

What if the greatest success strategy in the world was not to go for yes, but to go for no?

Well, it is.

The word 'no' doesn't have to debilitate you.

In fact, it can empower you to achieve a whole new level of greatness you never dreamed possible. You might think this is just a sales strategy. It is a sales strategy. But it's a life philosophy too.

Whether we define ourselves as salespeople or not, we are all engaged in the sales process. We all must overcome fears of failure and rejection to be successful and achieve what we want.

Here are my top five secrets to help you turn failure into success immediately!

1) Change your mental model of "success" and "failure".

Most people operate with the following mental model:

SUCCESS ⇔ YOU ⇔ FAILURE

They see themselves in the middle, with success on one end and failure on the other. They do everything they can to move toward success and away from failure. But, what if you reconfigured that model?

YOU ⇒ FAILURE ⇒ SUCCESS

Instead of viewing failure as something to be avoided, turn it into a "stepping-stone" on the path to success and gratification. In other words: Success is the destination. Failure is how you get there.

To achieve significant success in today's world, failure is not just a possibility. It's a requirement. We must see success and failure for what they truly are. They're not opposites, but instead opposite sides of the same coin.

2) Intentionally increase your failure rate.

If it's true that the more we fail, the more we succeed (and it is), then your immediate goal should be to intentionally increase your failure rate! With this thought in mind, you're succeeding even when you fail. Yes, this is a counter-intuitive, reverse thinking philosophy. But trust me, it works!

Intentionally increasing failure is the basis for the "Go for No" concept. "Go for No" means the more people tell you "no," the closer you will get to ultimate success. In other words, the more people telling you "no" now, the more people will say "yes" in the long term. If they actually counted the number of times they hear "no" during a typical day or week, most people would be shocked to see how low the number actually is. Go ahead and try it!

3) Set "No" goals.

Everyone sets success goals. But how about setting goals for the number of times we fail? For example, rather than a salesperson setting the goal of having two prospects say "yes" to them, they set the goal of being rejected (hearing "no") 10 times. Imagine the first two prospects they called on said, "Yes!" Rather than being done (having hit their "yes" goal), they'd actually be behind because they still have 10 "no's" to go!

The other exciting aspect of this strategy is how it keeps people "in the game" when they're "red hot." If all you have is yes goals and then you slow down (or quit) when you're successful, the hot streak ends. But if you keep going when the yeses of life are falling at your feet, the sky is the limit!

4) Celebrate your failures, not just your successes.

It's natural to be excited about our successes. Yes, you want to celebrate them. Yes, you want to give yourself a reward or even throw a party.

But, if the key to success is to increase our failures, then it only makes sense to celebrate our set backs as well. Yes, you heard right: if someone turns you down, celebrate it!

When is the last time you rewarded yourself for failing? Probably never! Instead of mentally punishing yourself for not succeeding, buy yourself an ice cream cone and say, "I'm one step closer to success!" Stop letting failure have the negative hold it has on your thoughts and emotions.

5) See courage as a "muscle".

If failure is a vehicle that can take you to success, then courage is the fuel! Courage is a muscle. And, like any muscle, you must develop and strengthen it with lots of exercise.

As the saying goes: Use it, or lose it. It's no different with courage. Use and develop your "courage muscle" by looking fear in the eye and taking action anyway. Each time you take action, the courage muscle gets stronger.

When you don't, it atrophies. And before you know it your courage is gone. But it doesn't have to be this way. All the courage you could ever want or need to achieve every goal you have is already in you, just waiting for you to take action.

So, change your mental models, intentionally increase your failure rate, set "no" goals, celebrate your failures and see courage as a muscle, and you'll significantly increase your success rate in six months guaranteed. Remember, this strategy is not just a sales strategy. It is not just for businesses. It's for every aspect of your personal and professional lives.

Widget for Blogger can get you 150+ visitors

My little test with the keywords Widget for Blogger in the title has brought more than 150 visitors to this blog in the period of 8 days.

What is the secret: having the terms in the title and/or tags, will trigger a link in the sidebar on a blog with high traffic numbers.

Question off course is how ethical this is? I'm not writing about a widget for Blogger, and only doing this as an experiment. But still it is funny how you can trigger a bigger number of visitors.

Imagine that I would like to sell this site. I can easily inflate up the number of unique visitors just before the sale. (Not that this blog is worth a lot... )

Now imagine that you can find multiple of these opportunities. This way you can grow the number of visitors significantly in a short time, showing a 'healthy' increase.

THE TAX POEM

At first I thought this was funny...then I realized the awful truth of it.
Be sure to read all the way to the end!

Tax his land,
Tax his bed,
Tax the table
At which he's fed.

Tax his tractor,
Tax his mule,
Teach him taxes
Are the rule.

Tax his work,
Tax his pay,
He works for peanuts
Anyway!

Tax his cow,
Tax his goat,
Tax his pants,
Tax his coat.
Tax his ties,
Tax his shirt,
Tax his work,
Tax his dirt.

Tax his tobacco,
Tax his drink,
Tax him if he
Tries to think.

Tax his cigars,
Tax his beers,
If he cries
Tax his tears.

Tax his car,
Tax his gas,
Find other ways
To tax his ass.

Tax all he has
Then let him know
That you won't be done
Till he has no dough.

When he screams and hollers;
Then tax him some more,
Tax him til
He's good and sore.

Then tax his coffin,
Tax his grave,
Tax the sod in
Which he's laid.

Put these words
Upon his tomb,
'Taxes drove me
to my doom...'

When he's gone,
Do not relax,
Its time to apply
The inheritance tax.

Accounts Receivable Tax
Airline surcharge tax

STILL THINK THIS IS FUNNY?

Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago, and our nation
was one of the most prosperous in the world.

We had absolutely no national debt, had a large middleclass,
and Mom stayed home to raise the kids.

What in the hell happened? Can you spell 'politicians? '

No God or Know God??

No God or Know God??

An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem Science has with God, The Almighty.
He asks one of his new students to stand and.....

Prof: So you believe in God?
Student: Absolutely, sir.
Prof: Is God good?
Student: Sure.
Prof: Is God all-powerful?
Student: Yes.
Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him.
Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But God didn't. How is this God good then? Hmm? (Student is silent.)
Prof: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fellow. Is God good?
Student: Yes.
Prof: Is Satan good?
Student: No.
Prof: Where does Satan come from?
Student: From...God.. .
Prof: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student: Yes.
Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct?
Student: Yes.
Prof: So who created evil?
(Student does not answer.)
Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they?
Student: Yes, sir.
Prof: So, who created them?
(Student has no answer.)
Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son...Have you ever seen God?
Student: No, sir.
Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?
Student: No, sir.
Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?
Student: No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student: Yes.
Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student: Nothing. I only have my faith.
Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.
Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Prof: Yes.
Student: And is there such a thing as cold?
Prof: Yes.
Student: No sir. There isn't.
(The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)
Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don't have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat,
but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold.
Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.
(There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)
Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?
Student: You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light....But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't.
If it were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?
Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?
Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?
Student: Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure.
Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one.
To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?
Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.
Student: Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.)
Student: Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavour, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?
(The class is in uproar.)
Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain?
(The class breaks out into laughter.)
Student: Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, sir.
With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
(The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face unfathomable. )
Prof: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.
Student: That is it sir... The link between man & god is FAITH.
That is all that keeps things moving & alive.......
