New Year

Hello 2007, Like with every new year, you also bring lots of hope and desires in everybody.

Everybody expects the New Year to bring change and you are no different. Luckily the economy is booming and thus the hopes are also flamboyant and extravagant.

New Year, why can't you keep the same hope with which you come till your "END"?

Why do people loose all the hopes and happines as the "New" Year tends to become Old........?

According to me most people do not have belief in themselves hence they do have Happiness till the end of the NEW YEAR.

To succeed one needs to have discipline. This New Year my resolution is only to discipline myself.

Discipline is the Key element in Success.

Here's to New Year and Here's to Discipline.....

Year 2007 - You are new and vibrant. I intend to keep you that way till you pass on the baton to the "New Year 2008" :)

Goals in Life.

till end of June, I was working with goal in mind, have accomplished that and now do not know what to do.

feeling very aimless/directionless. Now I need to get motivated and kick ass.

I have been thinking about two things.
1. I need to become very successful like Bill Gates, Dell, Steve Jobs etcs.
2. another conflicting thought is why should man aim towards money when it is so temporary. It is of no value to him after his death.

What are the qualities that are required to become successfull.

I feel one needs to be a dreamer first. Then should have a goal in place.
Without goal we cannot achieve anything.

My dream is to become a big industrialist within next 10 years achieve as much as possible and start towards the second part of my thought - the spiritual goal.

Let me see how I will work on these goals.

Test of Honesty and mind play.

Today when I was heading to my office I went to fill my vehicle(Honda Dio) with petrol and I told the attender to fill for Rs.150/-He had just started filling, when the looked at the meter it was already 1.1 litres, I was a little suspicious but rejected it saying he must have filled it.then when I gave my credit card he was a bit dissappointed and said "HO cardaa"(mind u it is kannada) some what startling me.

After paying the guy money, I left the petrol bunk and while on the road I noticed that the tank was only half full but usually it would at 3/4th the tank for Rs.150 worth of petrol.

So suspecting foul play and went back to the bunk and shouted at the attender, hearing my shouting, the supervisor came along and checked my petrol tank, applogised for the error and instructed the attender to fill one more liter.

I started leaving the place and suddenly my ears kind of picked up the attender inform another customer who had just come along that the petrol is "Extra Premium" (this is the high octane petrol- which more than the normal unleaded petrol).This is when I realised that there was no hanky panky business of the attender. since he had filled "Extra Premium" petrol it fills only half my tank.

Now I realised my mistake but was happy that I had got extra petrol for free. At the same time I started feeling guilty, I tried to justify saying that he should have told me before filling the petrol that it is "Extra Premium" which I never fill.

But my consicense did not agree and I went back to the bunk, the supervisor was probably pissed seeing me enter. However I told him that it was no fault of his and told him the story of the confusion. I even appologised with the attender. The poor guy face started glowing after hearing that it was not his fault.

God today saved me from making somebody's life misserable.

Thank you my Lord.

Today I am starting to write about my life out there in the Concrete Jungle

To survive in this Jungle you have to have the qualities of the King Of the Jungle. That is what I am planning to be.

Today wasn't a great day as a great personality of Karnataka - the Dr. RajKumar died. Lot of chaos prevailed all over the city. The whole city was shut down and I think it is going to be off the whole week.
Tomorrow is also declared a holiday and Friday being Good Friday another holiday and as usual sat and sun OFF.

This dead week I intend to do some introspection, planning and lots of reading.
