Imagine that your phone has decided to play truant and starts displaying random apps on the screen in quick succession without your control! Your phone is almost bricked as it is of no use to you. Before you can take some action on the app of your interest, it disappears and another show up.  Are our thoughts that show up in our mind any different? Our mind keep jumping from one to another randomly with almost no control. While our brain has massive processing power and memory, unfortunately has only one CPU which can process a SINGLE THREAD at any given instant. If you allow the CPU to be loaded with irrelevant data, your human computer is as good as crashed. What a waste. We all know that thoughts turn into actions, which in turn decides where we go in life. There is a solution which can help, even if not 100% ...

  Do we realise that the secret of moving forward lies in a state of Unbalance? We can only walk or run, if we are ready to unbalance. We are continuously moving between states of balance and unbalance. When we lift our foot forward, we actually unbalance ourselves. If we fear unbalancing ourselves, we will be stuck in the same place for eternity.  The same applies to every endeavour in our life. If we do not have the courage to move out out of our comfort zones, we will just stagnate. Fear the State of Balance and NOT Unbalance. Fearless leaders continuously challenge themselves and their teams to shake off the inertia at all times so that they can maximise their potential instead of stagnating with mediocracy. The trick lies in using the State of Unbalance to make progress and evolve and State of Balance to consolidate the gains and prepare for the next step. The State of Balance prevents us from falling over but progress will only be made in an State of Unbalance.

  The World demands that our children grow into a emotionally and physically strong citizens who can face the challenges head on. But the question we need to ask ourselves is, are we REALLY doing something about it in a purposeful manner, early on when the time was right? Are we really investing time and energy into cultivating the right values and behaviors in our children, preparing them for the tough competitive world? While I was contemplating on the leadership demands of being m ore fearless and confident that is put on young citizens and managers today, it stuck me that this muscle is best built when minds are fresh and uncorrupted, during early childhood. With nuclear families and conflicting demands of time and attention, parents are more than eager to meet each and every demand of our children so that children are 'apparently' happy and contented. Who does not want to give our children all that we could not get in our early childhood, due to lack of money or availabil...

 People have written books on how to manage your time, thinking deeply, I consider it not a issue of time but mind management. After all you will act on and spend your time on what thoughts are coming to your mind. It is impossible that body acts independently of the mind and the thoughts. Control and manage your mind and time will automatically be better managed. Everybody has 24 hours in day, how you use it makes all the difference.  A chaotic mind runs random thoughts, most which are irrelevant to the present. Have you noticed that the physical time and physiological times are not the same. When you are bored, time just not pass and seems to be stuck. Exactly opposite happens when you are engaged in an interesting and stimulating activities fully focused on it, hours pass by and you feel as if it was just a few minutes. Time stops when you are in deep sleep or meditation.  The more calmer your mind is, the more aware you will be of the situation and more focused and pu...
