PASSION• Density of a diamond is measured by it’s
Carats & depth of an individual lies in his / her
PASSION.
• Passion is an essential ingredient for SUCCESS
& HAPPYNESS in life .
• Without passion, we are nothing….!
Passion is the most important ingradiemnt
PASSION There is nothing more powerful than
a
Human soul on fire.
Follow your passion & every thing will follow.
A SMALL STORY…..
There was a biology teacher
in an ordinary school……
He loved playing football
so much
that
he left everything
&
became sports coach in the university.
FOOTBALL was considered as a
thankless & an ordinary job…..
He researched & found that reduction of
one ounce weight in shoes helps athlete to
reduce 200 pounds of aggregate efforts.
but for his research there was no taker…….…..
He did not stopped …..
He invented a waffle sole which was far
lighter and has better grip than the existing
soles used by manufacturers………
still no taker….
But his passion made him
to
become
a
shoe manufacturer
himself
with the little savings that he had…..
& he was none other
than Bill Bowerman,
Co - founder of
NIKENothing, absolutely nothing, can be achieved without
an unending strong passion.
Do you know who
martin Luther king jr . was …..
He said - if you are a street sweeper, so be
it. Clean your street so well that others are
forced to acknowledge your existence
&
feel that …….
“here lived a street sweeper
who did his job well”
Anything worth doing is worth doing passionately…..
Otherwise
You will not be happy,
You will not sparkle and
You will not earn money……
A WORD About Passion…..
• Nothing in life is more than how passionately we go about doing what we believe in.
• Passion can make anything happen.
• Follow your passion & every thing will follow.
POSITIVE ENERGY• The higher positive energy, the more
our chances of achieving success.
• Positive energy, is the force behind our
passions.
• Success occurs twice in life….
once in our mind & once in reality…!
• Positive Energy has two sources.
• One is the external motivation. Some one else motivates us & fills us with Positive Energy.
But if …….. there is no source of external motivation ?
Then we look within …..
‘If nobody responds to your call, then walk it alone….’ - Rabindra Nath Tagore
That’s the spirit of self motivated men.
Guess who wrote following……..
“ By 1980, I will be the best known Oriental
Movie Star in the USA & will have secured
$ 10 million. And in return, I will give the very
best acting I could possibly give to every
single shot when I am in front of camera.
And I will live in peace & harmony…..”
The letter is dated 9th January 1970 &
available at Planet Hollywood – NY City.
He died in 1973 …….
( just after 3 years of this letter )
after having surpassed all that
he had decided for himself.
He
was……………....
Bruce Lee
Success occurs twice in life….
once in our mind & once in reality…!
You can never
be
successful…..
If you don’t have the positive energy
within you to believe that you can.
Performance …..
If you keep doing what you’ve always done,
you’ll keep getting what you’ve always got.
If you want things around you to change, you need to be that change agent.
You have got do something more than what you’ve always doing.
You need to act-now!
Your Performance is
the true test of
the cut of
the Diamond
In
YOU
You can ‘ t…………
Cross the river merely by standing & staring
at the river water……..
You need to be ready to go the extra mile….. - Rabindranath Tagore
There is no short cut to success.
&
Nothing compares to the power of sincere &
dedicated Hard Work.
Route 2 success – a four stage plan…..
1.Vividly 2.Ardently Imagine Desire
3.Genuinely believe in your dreams &
4.Act wholeheartedly
There will be no one to STOP YOU.

Truly believing in our dreams……..

unfortunately forget “ ACT ” part of the
success plan…!

PERSONALITY
Personality and faith determines the color Of
the Human Diamond.
Add Magnetic personality in your hard work & perseverance and you will reach the different heights in the life.
Your charismatic & pleasant personality makes you an unique leader. For the successful leader, personality is more important than technical expertise.
You have to create an aura, positive energy and cheerful ambiance . Groom your self . Become a great communicator. Your personality creates dynamism .
Good look is not in your hand….It getS decided by genes.
But
Looking good is in your hand.
“ Looks ” is about your first impression you create to others. It grossly depends on how you present your self.
Have you noticed, Leaders of 100+ nations , all with different physical looks – come across as looking so good in UN Summit.
How is it possible ??????
because……..
Regardless of the colors of the skin and physical appearances, they all stand in UN Summit wearing a white shirt, a fitting black suit, a red tie, well polished shoes, and hair neatly done , they make perfect impression.
Often, in interview, from the time you walk into the room and take your seat, the interviewer has already decided to take or not to take you.
REMEMBER : You never get second chance for your first impression.
The way you walk….
The way you use your hands while speaking…..
The way you take chair to sit………
The way you have eye contact while speaking…..
What you have inside you reflects by your looks & then by your actions.
Remember this gentleman ????
People love to watch him on TV
because,
Dr. Prannoy Roy has polished looks, His amazing body language,
His articulate and intelligent words ……..
In one word, he has well groomed outstanding personality.
When the fate of the star tv was dwindling,
Which personality was roped in ?
Whose Immaculate personality mesmerized the viewer of TV channel ?
all thESE examples have one thing in common….
They believed in themselves.
Winners dare to fail.Success teaches us very little – it is failure that makes you think and work harder. Be prepared to failure, but have the perseverance to try again and again.
Irrespective of what world says, you must have the perseverance to just keep doing what you think you can. And surely you will do.
It not the strength or the knowledge , It the lack of perseverance that differentiate successful people from others.
PEOPLE ……………
