Here are some musings and stories, with a spiritual touch The Progress Story  Small progress requires tactics. Big progress requires strategy. Grand progress requires blessings. Infinite progress requires oneness. ------------------- The Self-Reflection Story  We need breaks and vacations for reflection too. Because the irony is, best thoughts (and inspirations) come only in a state of thoughtlessness. Shhhh! May be the Universe is shy & it is whispering. ----------------------- The Energy Story  (Don't mind, if you do a little) Do a little affectionately, with loads of positive energy. Don't do sacrifices grudgingly, with heaps of negative energy. Your love matters more. Your energy counts more. Not so much the hugeness of your acts. Nor so much grandness of your sacrifices. ------------------ The Enlightened Soul Sometimes her wisdom would surprise him so much, he began to joke, "You are surely an old head on young shou

 Guest Blog post by G. Shawn Hunter (Author of "Out-Think; How Innovative Leaders Drive Exceptional Outcomes") “ Talent is cheaper than table salt. What separates the talented individual from the successful one is a lot of hard work. ” - Stephen King, Author Carol Dweck led a fascinating study back in 1998 in which she and her colleagues worked with four hundred 5th graders and gave them a series of tests, mostly puzzles, and then praised them in two different ways with these six little words.

Anecdotes & Stories on Unconditional Love Ahem Ahem-When Two Economists Love Each Other She was an economist and began to tease him," You know the demand for beautiful women far exceeds the supply.

Guru Disciple-Wisdom Anecdotes III Here are some wisdom anecdotes, to inspire you to Enlarge, Excel, Evolve:- I am 22 and my life Catch 22 The disciple, “Guruji, I have always suffered personally and professionally because of my habit of telling the truth. I may have been brutally honest and ruthlessly frank at times. People are not ready to listen to the bitter truth and I don’t want to tell lies. I am 22, my life Catch 22” The Guru, “Tell true stories to give hints and mask the characters, if required. A signal is sufficient for wise (and the fool will not understand, even if you beat the drums). Bare truth is like an ugly skeleton sometimes, so dress it up as a story.” He added further, “People have not evolved enough to listen to truth. We are insecure, frail, weak and vulnerable beings. If you tell your obese wife, she looks obese, you are asking for separation. It is more important to be kind than true under such circumstances. Yet, professionally,

Love is an evergreen topic and one of my favourites. On Valentine's Day last year, I wrote one of my most popular posts, " 7 Personal Branding Lessons You Learn By Falling in Love " This year I have decided to compile my microblogs and anecdotes on love, into a blog. The Valentine's-Indian shtyle The disciple, "Valentine's day is approaching. How do I find out my valentine's, or decide the right life partner?" The Guru, "Shhhh. Let me share my secret. My Valentine's card this year says, "When I am anywhere around you.... The 'child in me' emerges to play with 'child in you'. You bring out my very best, my whole, You just pull out that 'playful divine soul.' Then the divine in me rises, and as a cue, It bows down gracefully, to 'the divine in you'." Namaste! (Inspiration-Indian concept of 'Namaste'. Namaste means the divine in me, bows down to the divine in you.) --------------
