One day Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire cat in a tree. 'Which road do I take?' she asked. 'Where do you want to go?' was his response. 'I don't know,' Alice answered. 'Then,' said the cat, 'it doesn't matter.Take any' Excerpt from Alice in Wonderland - Lewis Carroll  This small conversation tells us a great principle for success. Ironically most of us  face the same dilemma in our personal and professional lives. Our thinking is just like Alice. We are not clear where we want to go. We need to know where we want to go, ask directions from a knowledgeable person, make sure we are on the right path and put in our effort to move ahead overcoming all the hurdles and challenges.  If I am not clear of my destination then I must first identify my destination. This will require some effort and probing and we should ask question  "Where does this road lead?", "Do I like the where this road will le...

Sat, 19 sep 7:30 pm. I went to attend a seminar where I heard a leading orthopedic surgeon from Mumbai talking on how to improve our financial health. This is what he had to say:- If we are complaining about either time or money or both not letting us do what we want to do then it is a disease which needs a cure. Being specialist in knee problems if someone comes to my clinic, I can assume 3 things:- 1. The person has a knee that is why he could walk in 2. He has some problem in the knee to walk into a Knee specialist clinic 3. His knee problems can be cured if he is ready to listen and follow the instructions of the doctor Same applies in the financial health 1. A person has a life which is going on and he is living 2. He has some problems in his financial health for which he wants a cure and finds a financial doctor 3. His financial problems can be cured if he is ready to listen and follow the instructions of this financial doctor. Of course, in both the cases the r...

Balancing Your Life There was this very ambitious and successful executive who was given the charge of setting up a project for his company. He was very busy and aspired for a raise on completion of the project. One day he fell sick. He was asked to get some medical investigations which he ignored because he thought he will waste time and the project will get delayed and he will miss out his promotions.

...... Hi Friends, A person faces emotional challenges when he realises that he is not going to fulfill his dreams working on the path that he has chosen no matter how hard he tries. In my earlier post I had written that you must choose a path that can lead to your Dreams. Most of us realize it around the age of 40 or beyond that our dreams relating to Finances, Time for Family or even Fitness are not going to be fulfilled because we are working very hard for others dreams that we have no time left for Family or even a regular fitness routine. Wealth creation ? Forget it and, at that stage we are full of responsibilities towards the family and have so much of liabilities that we can not even dare to change the path with the kind of EQ that we have acquired.
