Each and every condition in life brings some new knowledge to apiece, and thus, experiences are the way we fledge, the way we stand, and the way we endure and survive in an all too changing world. Memories are the most cherished and valuable gifts you will ever have and I believe, anything which is past is memorable.
One thing which always attached to me since I left home was “Loneliness”. Nothing like I am lack of something. I have everything a content man would need. I have an endearing family, I have made many friends; some of them are great pals. If my family gives me strength to come through, these people really give me sense of friendship and kinship; what friends are. But my loneliness never left me. She/he (whatever sounds better to you) always come back to walk with me, fly with me, ride with me, and to sleep besides me. Ahh, now I wish to call it “she” for sure. ;-)
I admit, I am not aware what exactly I want to happen in my life at this point of the time. There are many items pondering into my “To Do” list. I think I need a change and happiness. Rest will follow. Luck favors the prepared mind. I was searching and preparing for happiness but could not find any. Bewildered, I sat back at my office system and googled the word 'Happiness' and it gave me more than a million of them in just 0.14 seconds. Can you beat google? ;-)
Most of the time, I think we are not conscious of what we say, do or read. We all have certain sameness to some part of each day. Getting up in the morning, turn on the news, read the newspaper, and then start the rest of the day. It would be wonderful if the morning information had a lot of good news, something that left us with good and hopeful feelings as we venture out into our day, but I can't say that I see it often.
There are always times when we feel like the world has lost its colors. When we get so lonely and dejected. When we cry. When you feel that the rest of the world is happy and you are not. No movement. No charm. When these times happen, do not succumb to the temptations of giving up. Life is a Leveller. Yes, to live is to suffer and the only way to be happy is to suffer willingly. Perhaps then, we can become the sovereign of our own destiny.
I wish all readers Good Luck, God speed in all their future endeavors.

Encountering Yourself – “Unconsciously”
I believe that within us we all have the perfect content of our own best friend and our own worst enemy. Nature makes us think and act consciously. How about encountering yourself unconsciously?
When I say conscious and unconscious, I do not mean that there are any fixed boundaries between the two. There are none. It depends on you whether you are less conscious or more conscious. Anger makes you less conscious (read unconscious) while deceasing life of yours or your soul mate makes you more conscious. But believe me when you are in presence of unconscious, so to speak, nothing could be more familiar……
What you see when unconscious is your reality, but society has created so many layers in order that you will not be aware of it. You will find a different individual all together. Then you cannot deceive yourself; you will certainly know what you are. If you want to create massive changes within your life, you have to change what is acceptable to you.
Whatever your current position is, there is most certainly room for advancement. Focus on long term growth & accomplishments. I reckon, at the end of the day, you want to go back to bed and be proud of what you have done. Focus on that reason, and while you are at it, might as well make it a joyful, pleasant experience.
There are tons of help available out there, but it's up to you to glue all the pieces together to figure out your own path. If there was one such piece of advice that could resolve all issues in one shot, then everyone would succeed……Such is not life as we know……
……Close your eyes and encounter the unconscious…… So next time you stuck with something, remember, It isn't coming from outside, it's coming from inside. You see, motivation can take a 180 turn simply by changing your perception.
The way I see it, it's a little bit like work, but that's why you've got an unconscious zone ;-)…… Smile and be happy ……

Flight Plan: In pursuit of happiness
What is that one thing that you want in your life? Think about your one desire and the first thought that pops into your head as you open your eyes in the morning…….
You are right!! Opening eyes with a smile and purpose is what all of us desire. You can always find someone richer, someone with a bigger car, someone with a nicer house, and someone better looking around you. Trying to find happiness with rivalry is impossible. We need to focus on the right venues in search for the elusive happiness. For me, there is only one invariable thing in this world. We all have 24 hours per day; nothing more, nothing less. No one has an advantage over another. Think about it. It’s all about how you manage your time and how you perceive its use.
Make your Time and Money work for you. File a Flight Plan.
The real secret of success consists of three major factors: First, you must be absolutely clear about your happiness flight’s destination. Determine exactly what it is that you want to achieve. Secondly, “take off” toward your goal with no guarantees of success, and then lastly make continual course rectifications and betterment until you finally succeed. The greatest experiences of your life are still to be experienced.
Believe in yourself. This is a great time to be alive. Make more money now. Yield highest income of your life. Best days of your life still lie ahead of you. Justify your presence.
How do you get what you want? It’s simple; all you have to do is to have a plan! And having a plan isn’t enough…..It has to be a Flight Plan….Not just giving lip service to excellence, but putting every part of yourself into achieving it...
I am “taking off!”

Random Inspirations
I always wait until I have something worthy to say. This time I cling to inspirations. While we humans struggle with some 200 languages around the world with quest to become the smartest person, we find it hard way to take ethics and inspiration, some never do.
Ideas will not derive out from your head until you let them come in. Build a bond with the larger universe. This way, we can become a part of larger and more prominent reality. The prototype can't be seen as the property of the engineers, the designers, or the marketers—it has to be community property. Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood. Remember, sometimes great ideas can come from the most unconventional sources.
A simple act of sensing inspiration can unblock the imagination. If you're new to it, start slowly. You'll find it comes naturally. Talk about making waves!
Internet can help you if you don't want to do it alone. There are numerous websites where you can enlist people from a variety of backgrounds from all over the world to help you solve your problem. Subscribe to any magazine or a journal. Include a recommendation or a testimonial to demand ideas from your friends, coworkers, experts, libraries, online, history.....
Old theories have to give way to new. By taking inspiration, I mean taking up these old theories and creating new and redefining them. Newton had to make way for Einstein. Gavaskar had to make way for Tendulkar. Seed can be one year old boy or a hundred year old veteran.
Where's your next great idea and inspiration going to come from? It's up to you. And whomever you want to invite.
Let's do it!

Aiming Bull’s Eye
My tendency and movement to question everything has served me well in my pursuits. It's also gotten me into a mess of trouble from time to time. But I reckon, people who force me to examine, encourage and actuate me to grow.
When we aim a new thought, some people will react emotionally, others, more rationally. When you see head scratching and hear questions like, "How will this work?" that should tell you someone wants practical answers. Work hard on your critics. A good thought of yours, no matter how fantastic, works only if it resonates with others (yours critics) experience and strikes a chord of believability. Practice the art of observation - a technique that can, and does, take hours, days and sometimes weeks. Eventually, you will hit a Bull’s Eye…….………….
……………………..……….By Bull’s Eye, I mean the “Critics”.
When I was penning my thoughts on this one, I suddenly think on my subject. Why Bull’s Eye is always the core or center of the nucleus. Unfortunately, nobody knows. Interestingly, when I googled, I found Dr. Christopher W. Tyler of the Smith-Kettlewell Eye Research Institute, San Francisco, made an intriguing discovery at the beginning of this century. While studying how people react to famous paintings, he examined 170 portraits of 282 artists--drawn from diverse cultures over 500 years. He noticed that almost all classic portrait painters arrange their subjects so that one eye, not the nose, is in the horizontal center of the image. He also found that no painting schools had taught such a rule. Click here to check out some interesting facts.
In short, humans appear to make consistent, unconscious, aesthetic judgments. How they do it is still a mystery. One that keeps going, and going, and going...

A Beautiful Mind
This is a forward-looking mind test. Dropping back into the days when phone booths were the only alternative to the desk telephone. You are the president of a company that makes phone booths. Recently you witness that your closest rival has begun to whittle away at your market share. Desperately, you ask the people under your chair to get you some thoughtful and innovative ideas.
- Your manager suggests of laying air-conditioned phone booths.
- The Consultant advises to add meters that tell how much a call costing.
- The executive says, why not put note pads in phone booths so that masses won't write on the walls and windows.
- Finally, your engineer proposes you to start making phone booths with wheels.
Phew…Quickly think of the most benefited and modern idea to approach:
I know what you think of - The phone booth on wheels. Because it's the craziest.
After all, what's the difference between a phone booth on wheels and a car with a mobile phone?
Now, today if we can think of Intellectual Communication or Telepathy with a silicon chip inserted in a human brain which can emit waves sending our thoughts through messages from one person to the other without mobile phones, what’s the big deal?
Start today by steering people away from the ordinary and make them think wild about the possibilities. In a word, “Attitude” - to develop a big tolerance for the outrageous.
Enough talk. Go on, now. I felt the need to say something, so I’ve said it. Now you’ve heard it.

Reality - “Bites”
Down the road there's a temple buzzing with tens of thousands of devotees. Outside the temple a small boards appeared to be written with the tagline “Real place for Real People”. There is nothing wrong with the words but something is amiss. I wonder - what real people mean. What other kind of people are there?
I questioned myself. Let us get one thing straight. Everything is real. Even dreams are real dreams. The word has its place, however. It should be used to distinguish between something that is what it appears to be and something that is not what it appears to be.
When they say someone is real, I think they mean to say that he or she is unpretentious, straightforward, honest, frank, direct, genuine, and/or aboveboard. And that's a real problem, because it makes them real dangerous! Got it?
I questioned again. Do real people exist? Or do people around you want you to be real?
Everyone begins with a spark of inspiration. But most people flash and fade before they have a chance to set the world on fire. Why? Ask yourself.
There is no one path. The problem is often choosing which one to chase. There are all sorts of wise sayings. Not everything is right or real. Faint praises have there place. I say they are required. Extent is what needs to be measured. I'm more interested in, in a way, discovering what we are now and here.
We just need a force / way to feel it.
