a powerful quote!

regret is far more traumatising than fear!!!

go for it! if you want something, go get it, period.

smile!!

smile in joy, smile in pain

smile when sorrow pours like rain

smile when someone hurts your feeling

smile when the heart is heaving and reeling

smile even when you are worried much

for a smile always gives a healing touch

thought time, trifles and, pivots!

according to dictionary.com, a pivot is

"any thing or person on which something or someone functions or depends vitally"

a trifle is

"a matter, affair, or circumstance of trivial importance or significance"

today I am making an effort to categorise my thoughts into:

Pivots: a decision, a matter, a person, a situation that is very important for my existence and growth. Some of these matters could be:

career and professional growth
my loved ones and their health and wellness
my valued relationships
my health
anything to do with my mission, values and rules

Imagine I can't think of much....

Trifle: a trifle is a matter, a person, a decision or a situation of little importance. Some of these matters could be:

money and all the things money can buy. I have decided that money is something you o not have much contrl over. Just do your best to grow and keep it but like some people who would leave you, money and its corrolaries would take leave of you when they want....so it's a trifle
useless and redundant people


hence forth, everything that jumps in my mind will be categorised into:

pivots or trifles

if it's a pivot, i will give thought time to it and do whatver it takes to resolve it. If it's a trifle, no thought time will be given to it and I will get rid of it as soon as possible.

after all, thoughts are things in no time!!!

cheers and all the best on the project!

thought/s of the day!

a ship is safe in the harbor, but that's not what ships are built for!

a read this quote somewhere ages back and it still lingers in my mind. I identify myself with it. A ship is built to weather the storms of the sea and reach its destinations. That is how I would like to live my life. It's lived only once. It can either be a smooth ride without any risks or it can be a dangerous passage leading to wonders.

There were 2 roads into the woods. I took the one less travelled by and that has made all the difference

I am not a follower of the herd. I decide what is right for me and I will do the right thing. I will change what is wrong. If that means I will have to walk alone for a while, may be a long while,may be all the while, so be it.

Be grateful for the blessing of life and all it brings with it. There are no problems, only challenges. There are no mistakes only lessons and lessons are repeated until they are learnt. The only people who have no problems are in the grave. When you do not have any problems, lie on your knees, look up and ask the almighty- "god, no problems!!! what you do not trust me anymore!!!"

the storms in my mind!

my mind is a continous storm, I am always thinkign about why things happen the way they do....we are so imperfect as human beings. No matter how much we try to learn about life, it keeps fooling us and telling us that " you aint know a thing"!!!!!

I wonder about the balance that we keep striving for, I wonder about our sense of morals and concience, I wonder who hell decides what is right and what is wrong. I can't decide for myself so many times!!!!

the storms keep on raging and raving all the time and little I do to contorl them. Although, I can control the kinds of thoughts I would like to think, sometimes I do not.

nothing might be making sense, but it's okay....one of my friends is asking on gtak...are you feeling ok? ;)

calm seas never made a skilled mariner!!

my life has not been smooth and it still isn't. I keep making mistakes and screwing up things... ;)

and get into one complication after the another. I must admit I hav made much more mistakes in my life than I have succeeded and I think even the future will not be ay different. I know I will keep making mistakes. I have said earlier in these pages that what I do not want is to repeat the same ones..

However, they get repeated and the pain is borne till the lesson has been learnt!!

my seas have not been calm and the sea could be a mataphor for my mind. I have storms all the time and nothing will come easy...it's just like that...let's accept this once for all.....

thoughts of the day

i read this somewhere....

here is a checklist to find out if your purpose on earth has been finished.

If you are alive, it isn't.

excellence!

they kept hitting and I kept asking- "is this your best?"

a beautiful statement

when nothing seems to help i go look at a stonecutter who hammers 100 times at a rock without a crack showing in it. And he hammers it again and the rocks breaks into 2 at the 101's hit. And i know that it was not that stroke that did it, but the hits before that, which seemed to fail!!!!

Amazing, outstanding, fabulous

keep hitting.....one of your hits will break the rock and every single shot in the past would have then succeeded...

things I can't live without...

there are certain things that are essential, imperative and cardinal for my existence and I must do whatever it takes to get em

they are healthy food, fresh air,

productive, useful and exciting work

company of excellent people

at least 30 minutes exercise

5-6 hours of sleep

and a little bit of love ;)

quote of the day

there is a lot of learning.....the speed is yours...Mr. Karmjit Singh

It's not sunglasses idiot, it's eyewear ;).......amarocksingh

words!

I respect words, I really do..

I think that one who cannot respect his/her own words does not have any respect for himself....and so it applies to me too...

if i do not respect my commitment, I am liable to punishment...

words once said, are contracts...they are...people expect things on the basis of what you say and if you turn them down, nothign could be trusted next time...
words build trust if followed by actions...
they destroy turst, if not followed

simple!

there is no yesterday and there is no tomorrow!

i like to say that there is no yesterday and there is no tomorrow and i strongly believe that life can only be fruitful if everyday is lived knowing this...

we spend so much time thinking about past mistakes or wonderign bout future...but none of them is there within our control

yes we can plan for the future and we must, assuming we will live forever and we must live as if there is no tomorrow...

i know it's tough and we are always under constraints, but there is still a lot that can be done to realise this vision...

it means that we must devote ourselves to living today as if it is the first and last day of our life.........means living in day tight compartmentsthis means we do not fret about what was lost yesterday and we do not fret about future...nothing but today exists only.....only today is in our control and we may not live to see tomorrow, as the title of my blog says.....

live like there is no tomorrow and plan like you will live forever...amen

day audit:questions i need to ask of myself- at morning and night!

I need some feedback from myself from the way i live my life. I just can't go on repeating the same mistakes and losing precious time and money, i have no time to waste....these questions would help me work on my attitude and make me a better person...

Morning questions:-

What am I happy for?
What am I grateful for?
I have been allowed another day and there might be no tomorrow, I must now live it as my last...

Night Questions:-

Did I make the most of today?
What were the things I did that could be applauded?
What mistakes did i make?
What will i do to make sure these are not repeated? having learnt lessons, forget them...they are past now...in the circle of concern and out of control...wats lost is lost
mistakes are to be encouraged for if you are not making enough mistakes, you are not learning anything!! BUT NOT REPEATEDWhat did I gain?
What did I do to create joy and pleasure for others? for myself?
What is my plan for tomorrow to improve upon today?


Let's start with these tonight and I will modify them as and when required!

now!!

i have no time to lose...the costs of living away are humongous and every minute wasted is money, opportunities and life lost....

make every minute count!

my day vision

THE DAY VISION

I am up before the dawn breaks
I run as the dark fades

I sleep a little allowing my body and senses to unwind
I eat a little nourishing my soul, body and mind

Laziness knocked, I left it unheard
Energy is my name, Vibrant is my word

I love my past, everything has had a reason
Spring is my favourite and I love every season

Future will be as I see it or better still
I am sure I am yet to see my best
I believe I can I think I will

I stick to the truth
Sweet or bitter; harsh or pretty
I do as I say, my word is my integrity

I work for over half a day
Do what I believe is not work but play
What I do defines me not money, people, and name
The best is the standard and play I do to win the game

I smile every second just for the sake of cheer and grace
No one changed a thing on earth with a frown, tense and grumpy face

I love life and I love living
This day on earth is such a gift
If there is god I pray
Grant me what it takes to make most of it!

the 3 most important people in my life!!

they just dun get talked about, and the truth is whatever has become of me and will bcome to me has been to their credit, had it not been for them, i would not be sitting here in singapore today and writing this....

mummy- she refuses to change at all, she is the way she has been for years but her love has never diminished ever no matter how many mistakes i committed.....i have given her some tough times though. She has ben there and i know for as many zeros you can add after 1... that she will be there no matter what...they call it mother's love- unconditional to the core

papa- he has been moving from one place to another for many years now, all by himself. if he did not work hard for us and doing whatever it takes to bethere always commuting either wat, nothing would have been possible

meetu- my sister meetu, she has been a great support whenever she could be, expecting nothing...

they are my pillats of strength no matter what...i would not have achieved anythign without them....and there is nothing that I could do to pay them...

the folks in me!!

hi my dear blog...it's been quite long i met you....

got a bit occupied and frenzied, sometimes its just so tempting to give up everything and crash into the bed and sleep....as long as possible but then it's not the right thing to do....i need to work and i need to contribute to this world, my loved ones to start with before i sign off....

i am in singapore right now and have taken a job pst MBA now....all the best

i admit i have a multiple personality disorder, i am a different guy at different times to different people....

to make life simple, i will use the 3 forms given in 'i am ok, u are ok'

the child-jugnu- jugnu is an obstinate child, wants wat he wants and he wants to get it....is confused more often than not....is careless at many times and forgets things....just lost a favorite pair of goggles somewhere durign the journey and is very upset about it....it's lost and its tough to get over it.....i hope jugnu overcomes this fault in itself.....he is very cute and adorable otherwise.....i love jugnu despite his shortcomings....anyways money and things it can buy hav a tendency to lose itself...i have lost a lot of money and lot of things......

parent-amar- amar keeps scolding jugnu all the time and is his greatest critic...is still after him for losing the pair of goggles...amar is a nice guy but then shares the confusion in jugnu and has no answers when jugnu asks why?!!!!

the adult-amarocks- amarocks is all that amar and jugnu loves me for...a great guy, highly ambititious and an inspiration with great leadership qualities..nothing disturbs him and he provides the vision for his life and the goals....he gives the direction and sets the course.....this life story will be about amarocks despite jugnu making mistakes, things will move.......i would also like to be amarocks but then jugnu interferes and amar does help in refining jugnu to be amarocks......no matter what....despite the mistakes and the problems and the lost causes and te lost things, amarocks will move forward an keep moving forward and upward......for either life is growth or nothing......

the target is to be more of amarocks every single day- mature, disciplined, ambitious and highly successful....every single day while using the playfulness of jugnu to enjoy life and allowing amar to discipline jugnu on a continuous basis
