Make a difference

Ryna in the 2nd Performers Piano Recital

Posted by in Personal

This is a link to Ryna in a Piano recital she did at NUS last weekend.    NUS had organized this session called the 2nd Performers Recital  and had children (around 220 of them) who had the opportunity to come and present a piece or two.  A wonderful opportunity for children to showcase their experience and also for the younger ones to get used to to the concept of practicing piano in front of a crowd.   Ryna’s teacher Ms. Janice Ong obviously knew how to make this work and this effort is all thanks to her… Ryna is obviously very excited with this experience.   And we are too ๐Ÿ™‚

Goals! By Brian Tracy

Click here for the link

Over the last 3 weeks, I must have spoken to at least 6 people to whom I recommended reading this book- Goals- by Brian Tracy.   To me, this was one book that changed my way of doing things, and made me sit down to write down my goals.  It has made a tremendous change to me, and I thought that it would help other people as well to do this.  Many of them, I know are trying to buy this book and some had also planned/ or ordered this on Amazon. 

So imagine my pleasant surprise when I saw the above link which actually gives this book as a free e-Book.  I am putting this in my blog because this should be a "must read" book for any executive who wants to make a difference.  And if you are reading this, do take the trouble to download it. You will NOT be disappointed.

Note: Of course, it is effective only when you are leaning a bit towards getting a feeling that things are getting out of hand ๐Ÿ™‚

Happy Reading.

From the Gita

Posted by in Personal, Religion

 

This is by far one of the best prayers ever.  So intense, that I tend to read this every time I feel frustrated [which has been quite a few times recently ๐Ÿ™‚ ] 

Why do you worry ? Why are you scared ?
Whatever happened, it happened for good.
What is happening, is also happening for good.
Whatever will happen, that too will be for good.
What have you lost for which you weep?
What did you bring with you, which you have lost?
What did you produce, which has perished?
You did not bring anything when you were born.
Whatever you have, you have received from Him.
Whatever you will give, you will give to Him.
You came empty handed and you will go the same way.
Don’t be remorseful about the past , nor worry about the future. The present is before you .
What is yours today was someone else’s yesterday and It would be someone else’s the day after. You may think all of yours is for you to keep. This is the main cause of the sorrow.
Change is the nature of life. Remove the thought "Mine and yours" and "Little and big" from your mind. Then everything is yours and you belong to everyone.
Then what are you? surrender yourself to the higher power, the only source of your strength.
He who realizes this will be free from fear, worry and emotion.

Bhagavada Gita โ€“ One of the best lessons to learn

In today’s otherwise busy world, here is something that I read, that brought a level of perspective rarely achieved.

Why do you worry ? Why are you scared ?
Whatever happened, it happened for good.
What is happening, is also happening for good.
Whatever will happen, that too will be for good.
What have you lost for which you weep?
What did you bring with you, which you have lost?
What did you produce, which has perished?
You did not bring anything when you were born.
Whatever you have, you have received from Him.
Whatever you will give, you will give to Him.
You came empty handed and you will go the same way.
Don’t be remorseful about the past , nor worry about the future. The present is before you .
What is yours today was someone else’s yesterday and It would be someone else’s the day after. You may think all of yours is for you to keep. This is the main cause of the sorrow.
Change is the nature of life. Remove the thought “Mine and yours” and “Little and big” from your mind. Then everything is yours and you belong to everyone.
Then what are you? surrender yourself to the higher power, the only source of your strength.
He who realizes this will be free from fear, worry and emotion.
