Small drops can make Ocean



“If you add a little to a little, and then do it again, soon that little will be more then earlier.”
Most of us, in fact all of us, want to come up in life. We want to change our bad habits (If it is there), acquire good habits, earn a lot of money, and bring about improvements in our life. However, soon we notice that we are not able to do it since the task appears to be tougher than we imagined. One reason could be that we try to change things much faster or take on more things than we are capable of. We try to exert ourselves too much. This approach will soon put us in a situation where we start seeing problems and obstacles and soon we give up. One way to overcome this problem is to change things gradually and consistently.
Let me share a story with you. Two men were caught in a thick dark forest and there were no light at all. They could not see more than three feet from their feet. One person was so scared and felt overwhelmed by the distance he had to cover to get out of the forest. But the other man was bold and looked courageous to undertake his journey asked got ready to go. The man who felt overwhelmed asked how he is going to make it since he cannot see more than three feet from his feet. For this the other man replied that it is very easy, he will first move three feet and from there another three feet and so on…! I have some real life examples that prove that little thing actually make big difference after a time of period: - A one day child can not walk & talk and if we expect him/her to walk & talk it’s not possible. Can you imagine one day baby standing and saying “walk” and then he falls down you pick him up and spank him say I told you to walk. No it is not. After a certain period of time you stand that child up and the first day he wobbles a little bit, you all get excited and say he stood up he stood up. Then you hug and kiss a lot. Next day he stands for a movement and may be wobble a step. Finally the child realizing that this is a pretty good thing to carry on and he starts wobbles his legs more & more until he walks properly. The same thing applies while we are teaching a child to speak. Suppose you wanted from child to say, “Give me a glass of water.” If you waited until the child didn’t speak whole sentence you didn’t give him water then if might be happen that the child would die of thirst. So you start by saying “water…water” all of sudden one fine day the child say “Waller..Waller” You know that word wasn’t water but still close to water. Gradually he learnt proper words and proper language. This is an example from human life.
Let’s take an example of water animal “Whale fish.” In sea aquarium huge whales is jumping over a rope which is high above the water. After seeing this we say it’s unbelievable. How do they teach that Whale to do this? Do you think they go out in an ocean in boat and put a rope over the water and yell “up..up !” Until a whale jumps out over the rope and say heyy…it is a real winner lets hire it… no it’s not like that at all. They train Whale on daily basis task and one fine day Whale starts jumping over the rope.
So as a manager you can’t hire winners always because it costs you more or may be you can’t find them. So next is that you can hire a person who has potential to be a winner. Then you systematically train that person to become winner.
Life is like this only. We need to remember that a thousand-mile journey starts with a single step! Today you take the first step and make just one little change and then one more and so on.

Oxygen of my life


Friends are the essential part of everyone’s life same as friends have a very big role in my life also. That’s why I compare them (Friends) with Oxygen because oxygen is also very essential part of our life. We can’t live without it. Friends are the ones with whom we can share our darkest secrets, without being worried of them being leaked. They acknowledge our worst ideas and try to fulfill our silliest of wishes. Friends feel happy at your success and sad at your failure. They share all your feelings and make you feel that there is somebody who still cares for you. When you have friends, you never ever feel lonely. Friends love you and care for you. They always make you feel special and never expect anything in return, other than your love and friendship.
Anyone can stand by you when you are right or when you win, But a Friend will stand by you even when you are wrong or lose.
In our daily life we have two types of friends; Simple Friends & Real Friends. Here I tried to differentiate them:-

A simple friend identifies himself when he calls.
A real friend doesn't have to.

A simple friend never seen you cry.
A real friendd has shoulders soggy from your tears.

A simple friend brings bottles of cold drinks to your party.
A real friend comes early to help you cook and stays late to help you clean.

A simple friend hates it when you call after he has gone to bed.
A real friend asks you why you took so long to call.

A simple friend when visiting, like a guest.
A real friend opens your refrigerator and take whatever he wants.

A simple friend thinks the friendship is over when you have a fight.
A real friend knows that it's not a friendship until after you have had a fight.

"A friend is one who believes in you when you have ceased to believe in yourself”

A dose u can’t stay without



Here I am not going to talk about any medicine or anything related to it but here I am going to talk about something which is more than a medicine. In this blog I am going to talk about Family (Dose). A family is replica of the society in itself. The importance of family lies in the fact, that it joints a nation together. When we find our self in such a situation, what is it that sustains and supports us..? The values which were passed to us by our family make us survival and growth possible. These values such as patience, care, understanding and commitment etc. differentiates us from the rest. Family bonds are a link to our beginning and a guide to our future. Values are taught at an early age and are carried with us throughout our life. Rituals of bedtime stories, hugs, holidays and daily meals shared together, provide a sense of warmth, structure and safety. Strong family bonds help us to thrive in all aspects of life. Lack of these bonds can lead to forever seeking that something which is missing. Don't take the value of family bonds for granted.
As I look back upon time, I can say with pure recollection of my memories, that family is one of the most precious aspects of my life. I may or may not be aware, but my family was my first school when I entered in this world. However, my arrival made my family happy and they took me home and from day one, I started learning about love, care and family relationship. My parents didn't change my wet nappies only to stop me wailing, but because I was uncomfortable with it.
I am studying in Indore. Before that I was in Ahmadabad, there I was preparing for MBA entrance exams from PT Education. During those days I lived at my Nana’s home. During those days I relies that family doesn’t mean only parents. Because the love I received there was tremendous. I can’t write this in words but I just want to share with you one thing that Even I didn’t remember my parents during those days. Nani used to say me that Aaj to ghar pe baat kar le… and then I call to my parents and we all talk them. My mosi also take care of me very much, when she goes to the market she generally ask me that Gaurav market se kuch lana hai kya tere liye..? Even I can’t forget ankit & amit (my cousins) also they help me in solving my maths & DI/LR problems. In short I want to say that I can’t forget those movements in my whole life. I think, these two examples are enough to convince you of the importance of family. If you are not, then let me know, I have an endless list of examples which I could draw on and on.

It is the place, where I learned how family relationships work, by observing my parents, grandparents, my siblings and rest of the family members deal with each other. I also noticed how my family coped and adjusted with the ups and downs of life and time. Family gives me Identity and from this identity you all know me. Whenever we move from one place to another, we carry our family history with us. The Best feeling in the world is being able to go to a place where you can call HOME. A place where we can learn something new each day from the ones who love us the most…!
How can we make our family relations long life?
Here is the answer, Each person in family needs to:-
• Show love to each other
• Make a contentious effort to let the members of your family know that he or she is special
• Praise each other
• Having family times
Remember, without love there is no healing. With Love, healing is foreseeable. Having a family can be a fulfilling and an exciting experience. Our family life is an important part of our life. How we treat each other and the respect we give each other will affect our relationship with that person and could affect how that person feels about themselves.
“Families grow and change over time, so it’s important that we have the skills to be remaining close to each other able to keep our family relationships happy and healthy.”

"Heroes of my life"


Hello friends..
This is my first blog so I am writing this blog about those people who are very special for me.
Heroes always change in our mind as we grow. As a child, we think superman, Spider man as our heroes. As we grow more, our opinions keep changing from time to time. We begin to think about the real things, about what heroes really are. How they really help us. Heroes also affect my life really and other people's lives. We always need heroes to get something from their life.
When I think of heroes, such names as Gandhiji, Martin Luther, Mother Theresa, Big B, Ratan Tata, Dhiru bhai comes in my mind. These people had done a lot of work for the people & society. They have changed the world completely. But heroes of my individual world are my PARENTS.God created them for helping me & gave real time values. They did anything for my happiness (Not only mine, but they take care of their friends, and family also.) Without my parents, I probably will not survive.
Heroes usually best described as their selfless help, brave, and often inspiring. My father always inspired me to do the right things, to be strong, and be independent specially. I am sure that all parents that did a lot of things for their children and all children see their parents as heroes. My parents are the most inspiring people for me. They taught me the way how I have to live my life.
Parents influence me in many ways including how they act, talk, walk, and the way they act around other people. Even when I grow up into adults, I still adapt some things that my parents do. Without parents, we wouldn’t know how to grow up and raise our own kids (Exceptions are every where). Even animals need parents; a calf needs its mother just like a human needs his. No matter how much we grow but they still treat us like a child. I am living here in Indore far from my parents and they think all time about me that where I am this type, did I take dinner or not, am I happy here or not etc...?
Parents are important because they helped in our development. They gave us the things that I needed to grow up in the moment like my basic needs like food, clothes, medicine, a place to live, and the most important thing, the love. Sometimes they get angry with me when I do something wrong and I get really mad at them but it didn’t mean that they didn’t love it means that they care me very much I understand why they do certain things and it is because my parents want the best for me. Also, they care for me when I am sick and they give me the necessary things to get better. They teach me good values like how to behave, to respect other people, and to share with other people. Sometimes they push me in certain directions and have high expectations for me, but now I really appreciate everything they have taught me.
The most important thing to realize is that we all have many teachers in our lives. Our parents teach us, our teachers teach us, and our peers teach us. Books and newspapers and television also teach us. All of them are valuable. But according to me parents are the best teacher and the moral values & ethics they inculcate in us are very strong.
Humans are most developed creatures on the earth with feelings, lots of knowledge, taking care of each other. In our life some people who are very close to us. Why do we forget them sometimes? Parents are the first people who deserve our attention. Through the years they put so much effort and passion the way they can, to protect us from bad things. We know that our parents will be next to us even if we get in trouble or lose everything. They still will be the ones to help us as much as they can. For this reason we should be so thankful to them and pray to god for their happy long life. We have to take care of our parents as they did when we were child. It’s just the way it is supposed to be in this world. We should be doing this so that our kids can see a good example of how to be with their parents as we grow older. Thanks to my parents today I can said all of these things to other people.
Finally I just want to say one line that “Our parents give us our life, but then they try to give us their life also.”
