2. Positive Attitude

Have you heard the saying ” You will see the world in the same color as the color of the glasses you are wearing “

Its the same with mind. If your mind is calm and thinking straight and hope then in all situations you will try to find for a solution. Yes true negatives will say … what’s the guarantee that the solution will work. Yes there are chances that it might not work … but again there are chances that it will.

Thomas alva Edison was trying to create electric bulb. 1000 times the fuse he created burnt. But he didn’t lose hope. With hope in mind he kept calm and kept trying for a solution. And in the 1001 attempt he invented the electric bulb.

SO, if you remain positive and hopeful, then there are more chances for your success.

Mind less Negative thoughts drag you down. Use the negative thoughts for your benefit. If you tend to have negative thoughts before any venture then write then down on a paper. Negatives thoughts are just the fear of failure. From the list check which negative fears are practical and which are just weird imaginations.

Then Try to find the solution to the practical problems.

That’s how a 1oth pass student with the dream of creating a business empire created Reliance Industries. Yes That’s Dhiru Bhai Ambani

Thus, Remain Positive and Get Success.

Hard Work is the only currency through which you can purchase success.

9. Spirituality

Spirituality doesn’t mean being religious. Spirituality is the connect with one’s soul.

Final Point That was The best point about Dr. Kalam

Be Humble

 

Be Humble Always in Success Too !!!

This should top the list because all else fails in the absence of this. Spiritual Masters have spoken a lot on humility and parents have taught us to be humble. All success in life comes to naught if it is laced with vanity, ego, selfishness & negative pride. Modesty has, and will remain, an alluring trait because where egoism falters, humility conquers.

This is why an icon like Kalam will always be remembered & missed.

Not because he was a great Scientist.

Not because he was perhaps the first ever ” People’s President “

But because he was a man who at the height of success never changed. He always remained the same humble & caring soul. He Lives forever now among all the students he inspired all though his life.

Kalam Tujhe Salaam!
