Hi Frirends,



I liked the following speech good and thought will share with you all:



Don’t allow this consequence happen to you. Live your life to the fullest when you are alive; don’t be dead before you actually die.



Author Roberts J. Kriegel and Louis Patler took a survey of 1,500 people for over twenty years, which showed how passion makes significant difference in a person’s career.In the survey, people were divided into two groups. Group A and Group B. Group A took 83 percent of the sample, who were embarking on a career chosen for the prospects of making money not in order to do what they wanted. Group B; the other 17 percent of the sample, had chosen their career path for the reverse reason, they were going to pursue what they wanted to do and did not worried about the money.The data showed some startling revelations.At the end of 20 years, 101 out of 1,500 had become millionaires.Of all these millionaires, 100 out of 101 were from Group B, the group that had chosen to pursue what they loved.



“Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside of us while we live.” Norman Cousins powerful statement, forced us to agree totally.



You must discover something that will make you to die for it. You pleasantly say ‘YES’ to that. If you are not able to discover the work of your choice in your entire life, what is the fun in that living? You must find out what energise you for living at any age, I repeat at any age.



Every morning, you want to pursue. Everyday you select to die for it.



Trust me; your work will never make you tired. At the end of the work, you are energised, jumping in the sky with the feeling of accomplishment. Recently, Yunus Khan of Pakistan cricket team has scored 306 runs in a test match against Sri Lanka. It has taken probably, 12 hours (In cricket, 11 strong players so opposition are trying to make you fail totally. They use their skills and talent against your career.) After 12 hours, he is totally fresh, he is full of energy and he wants to perform. It means at the end of work, you are living with pride instead of tiredness.



“I GET FUN OUT OF MY WORK.” This should be your T-shirt quotation or screen saver or quote on the wall. One of my friends Mr. Sudhakar Patel has a wall quote in his office “I AM ON HOLIDAYS, I AM ENJOYING MY WORK.”



Everyday you must ask “What happened to my dream?” I would like to conclude today’s wisdom with a very powerful quote of Mark Twain: “The secret of success is making your vocation a vacation.”



I hope you all liked it.



Regards,

Manjari.

I was raised by my grandparents. My grandmother loved life, loved doing something new each day, enjoyed every moment even if she was often sick.
She used to say she lives cause God borrowed her some more years. He just saw how much she enjoys living and how young is her soul, that he grabted her more years than it was meant for her to live. she was grateful for every one of them ....
I learned not to be afraid of what we don't know in future, but to trust my dreams and my potential and give my best to live. I learned to smile when it gets tough, to choose the job I love, to find reasons for happiness around me and to never stop learning.
