How To Go And Do The ‘Thing’ Without The Fear Of Failure?

This is the most asked and frequently debated upon question. I would like to share my views on this. So let’s start with quoting something; People have plans after success, but after failing, everyone is left clueless.

Once you’re determined to achieve a thing and have put all efforts in it but unfortunately you fail, you think your purpose for being is finished. You think everything is finished and there is nothing left. No, it’s not the end. It’s the beginning.

Failure can be in any form. Let’s say you were unable to score 95% in exams and score 92%. You start blaming yourself, this thing it’s you up. So what if you have scored 3% less? Learn from it and do better next time. The past and future can’t be touched unless you have a time machine. So focus on the present and try to improve the present. Even after failing you have to stay determined and motivated. This is the key to stay in the race. Failing is not something to be ashamed or embarrassed of. It’s a part of life and it helps you gain experience.

The best way to face failure is to stick to that one thing for which you would do anything and find a way to retaliate. That thing which you were sticked to is the key to facing failure. For ex- You love your family and you can’t live without them but then you end up scoring low in exams. This demotivates you and you think it’s all over. Now think of the family who has cared for you loved you nurtured you and also which has appreciated you for the marks you have scored. This is the best opportunity. Go and fight back and score well the next time and cling to your family as your constant motivation.

The other thing is to think of the outcome without even performing the experiment. Don’t pre assume the possibilities. Don’t be scared of doing what you want to do. You are the protagonist in your story, you are the story, go own it man. You wanna go and make an Instagram page on dogs, go do it already man. Don’t waste time. Do it already. Failure is something you should learn from and not to cry for. Go and do it, live your life. Just do it already. Own it.

Fear of Failure

What are you afraid of when the world depends on non materialistic things like Hope? You are afraid of following your dreams? You are afraid of failing? You think that what will happen if you fail? Get these thoughts out first and then continue reading. “Why”is the question here. Why don’t you go and try doing something you love. Before even trying, you give up. Maybe your goal is to score good in your exams, maybe do good in sports, or maybe establish a personal brand. Whatever the goal is, you start thinking what if I fail?

That mindset is the main reason. Do what you want to. Do not think, just do it. Don’t think what people will think, think and do what you want to. You have to let yourself be your sole judge and jury. No one who played it safe has ever made it big. You will face many obstacles but at the end you love what you are doing right? Something which interests you, intrigues you must be done. You need to follow you passion. It may take 3 to 4 years for you to reach there or even a decade but at least you love what you are doing now. The process may be tedious but it will be worth it. It is your life and the chances of you ruining it are very slim. I promise. During your heyday, the people who made fun of you during your efforts will be left clueless.

At the end I would say, please don’t be scared of doing what you love. Don’t think what your are doing is banal or mundane but think that what really you are doing is great and respected by everyone. Don’t be scared of failing at all. All that matters is how you think of yourself. Follow your dreams and live your life. And remember that Passion is your backup generator when all your other other energy sources start to sputter.

Book Review Of The Book – The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

This book is an inspirational journey of a boy named Santiago who realises his destiny while his adventurous travel. Paulo Coelho, the book’s author has a great mindset and the way he explains that the stories of our lives are bound to each other. You will get captured by its intrigue. The book is a good one for a beginner. It is surely one I would recommend to someone who seeks inspiration and motivation. Paulo Coelho understands and analyses the language of the world. The boy in the book faces many obstacles until he realises his destiny. It’s impact in our lives is not going to be ephemeral but will have longevity. He also tries to convey this message that one may not realise or acquire their worth at a specific age but anytime. No one should stop trying until they reach the point when they think its enough. The journey may be tedious but its impact will be worth the wait. Some obstacles may be in form of your friends, peer groups etc. but you have to learn from that and keep moving. I myself have started reading recently and it interests me more to read. But if one’s determination is pure and clear, one can surely achieve anything. At the end I would like to say that, keep moving towards your goal and always keep moving, never stop and never wait because there is no perfect age to start and no perfect age to stop. Keep hustling and remember one thing: Everything is written and you have written it. All you have to do is realise it.

Discovering Yourself and your abilities.

Who are you? Have you ever asked yourself? You are a great person in your own way. It’s just that you need to discover your talent and ability to do things. So, at this age there is only one step which I would prefer which is experiencing new things, doing new things, trying new things, as it is your age to do so. I know there is also a lot of academic pressure but at least you can spare a day in a week and make the best out of it.

The more you do new things, experience also gradually increases. Your efficiency and ability to take decisions also gets better. For ex – if you are planning to become a doctor, you have everything set, you are going to take science and become a doctor, and then one sudden day, you try a new thing and boom, everything changes and you now get attracted to that particular thing and want to switch to that profession, and it is 100% normal as a youngster or a teenager for the mind to get distracted. So for choosing a career having different experiences is totally necessary.

The second thing is not giving up, the day you give up is the day you lose. There is totally no problem in not succeeding in the first attempt, it is also totally alright to not be able to succeed in 10 attempts. You see my friend, you are not failing, you are just finding ways that won’t work. And now comes the part where most of you face problems. It is the part where peer and parental pressure comes in. You should listen to yourself and not anyone else. No matter who it be, if your parents are forcing you to become a doctor, and you want to become an artist, explain it to your parents. If they don’t agree then also, then give them facts and appropriate reasons.

Do not worry if it takes time. I am telling do not take any pressure if the decision takes time and it is totally alright for you to take time. Don’t worry about the future, work on your present and the future is going to be yours. So all I would say is that, you are a young soul, go try new things, go experience new things, don’t worry if decision making takes time and just live your life, your marks are surely not taking you anywhere, its you who will take you to a destination and worrying about the future for now is not good. Just be you and live your life.

Social Media: We revolve around it.

What is it? It’s just a word but all of us Act as slaves in front of the word. Why are we doing this to ourselves? It benefits some people but at contrary my friend it also harms in many ways. It may be beneficial for me because I can spread my content through social media, enlighten people and fill them knowledge. The most interesting fact is that I am spreading about social media through means of social media. I am literally addicted to social media and want to get rid of it but I can’t because you can’t turn back once you are into something. I am not supporting the use of social media. But I can’t leave it coz I am addicted to it. You can, friend. Well lets talk about some facts.

There have been many studies that have concluded that social media addiction is real. But it’s not just Facebook. There are over 2 billion Facebook users worldwide, about 500 million tweets are sent daily on Twitter, 95 million images are uploaded to Instagram daily and on YouTube, over 400 hours of video are uploaded per minute. Those figures alone should tell us something. In fact, all social media is addictive by design. Maximizing engagement is in their business model. The more time you spend scrolling and clicking, the better for business. The infinite newsfeed and notifications you receive are personalized to draw and keep you in. The more the advertiser has your attention, the more sales. And so on. The more you use it, the more contentment you get.

But, my friend you are a burger which is being eaten up by a junk food lover in this case. You are social media’s slave.The fact that I use social media also scares the hell out of me. I am posting my blog on social media because I can’t spread it through newspapers, I spread about my blog on Instagram because I can’t spread links with my hands. You. Yes you, if you could give me one good reason for using social media other then business, I’ll take my words back. Why are we spoiling our and the future generation’s future? We are giving them two options, either ton jump in the well or to drown in a lake. I can assure you technology and social media will take us places but will also become a disease which will affect lives of 99% people in the world. Those 1% will be the happiest ones and rest of them will always serve social media

Totally not ignoring the fact that I am spreading my views through social media!

What is Blogging?

Basically, It’s a way of expressing our views on various topics. Everyone have their own point of view and put forward their views through blogging and writing. I am a new comer in this field and hence struggling to fit myself in. It’s not easy because one needs to have a stern dedication towards what they want to do. I believe in action rather than planning, but the place where I am left behind is performing a planned action. It’s easy to say but hard to start. Well let’s get to the point, so I’ve told you the definition of blogging but now I am going to tell how we can start writing.

What I basically do is write down sub points on a sheet of paper and start writing. Then I convert them into sentences which helps me get more ideas about them. When I’ve completed writing the blog, I recheck And reread it to find out grammatical mistakes. After I’ve done this, I take views from people in my surroundings and if I like them, then I add them to my blog. You can write if you can make sure that you will be consistent in this field. This is because once you have written many blogs and attracted people, then there is no turning back. Well, it’s not only writing I am talking about, it’s your dedication also I am talking about. Skills are something which are necessary but if you don’t have them, it’s totally alright coz skills can be developed and fed to you but dedication can’t. So my friend you are capable of doing this but you just need to concentrate in the area you’re gonna advance.

One more thing which is very necessary is writing a blog in places where there is no noise pollution and disturbance. This helps you concentrate more on your topics and develop new ideas. I have just started writing and want get famous in just a week, well that’s not possible because patience is also one parameter in blogging. First of all, you will aim for spreading about your blog on social media, ask people to read it, spread it but it’s the biggest mistake you will do which I am also doing. You spread it once, twice and thrice that is it. If you spread it more than thrice, then it will be like spamming people. Secondly, at the start you will see people who will read your blogs and you will reach at a level where consistency is necessary but to maintain this consistency is another hard job to do. Now lastly, write blogs on topics people get attracted, don’t write blogs on boring topics which no one even bothers to read. You need to intrigue people with the vast knowledge about various things you have been blessed with. We say that no one is perfect but one may know a thing better than the other, write on topics which guide people. Like if you think that you know swimming better than others, then enlighten people with the knowledge you have. You can also write about blogging in your blogs, similarly the way I am doing.

Now at the end I would say that blogging brings out the hidden talent of yours. It helps you to get to know things about you, hidden in you and discover them. So what if you don’t know how to write you can practice at first and then write. Practice makes a man perfect 🙂 To write a blog keep the three C’s in mind – Consistency, Concentration And Creativity

Depression

What is it? It’s a disease which is spreading rapidly among the youth and becoming a major problem. Today more than 50% of the youngsters in the world are being hunted down by a word. It is not just a word, but in fact a threat to the lives of these youngsters. Well, I am a teenager but these things do not affect me. Why does it even affect you? Okay, so depression also leads to suicidal attempts. Don’t be shocked, it is true. Have a look at the cases in which depression has led to deaths. For you it will all end in a second but for your friends and family it won’t be over. Before you even think of doing this, think about the other people who care about you!

The most stupid thing according to me which leads to depression is breakup. Some people move on and hence are the sensible ones, whereas others stay sad for a month and move on. Now those people who stay depressed for a long time, at the end forget because of what reason they were depressed. All they’ve done is waste their time and put others into tension. For ex – If a couple breakup after a long time like 2 years then either they’ll get depressed or either they’ll move on. Now those who get depressed are the foolish ones and those who move one are the sensible ones according to me. Why get depressed over a person who has been with you only for two years and lose your parents who have always been there for you? If you think I am wrong, then my friend you need to change your mindset.

Today more than half of the children in India study in schools. The other half don’t because of quite a no. of reasons out of which one is poverty. The education system of India has destroyed many lives. Let us take an example of the Bollywood movie 3 idiots in which the character whose name is Joy whose only 5% of the project is remaining but is rejected due to late submission. Caught in fear of his future which was insecure, he ends up hanging himself. It is not him today who has suffered, many other youngsters and children have also suffered. More than half of India studies but employment is being provided to 25% of the educated ones, where will the other 25% go? It is not their fault nor ours but it is the fault of the society which has led to the discovery of a new word which was not even known by anyone in the world.

Besides India, even in U.S. many children have ended up in getting depressed and have attempted suicides. Why are we doing this? Why are we spoiling ourselves? Why are we ensuring an insecure future for the youth? We have done this and we have to stop it. End depression, End this and ensure a good future for the youth. Spread awareness and save lives or else our children with a new disease known as depression from birth.

How To Get Into Yourself?

Be yourself, search for them and do what you want to do. ‘Them’ are the qualities deep inside you.  The first step in searching for your qualities is doing what makes you happy. The things you do help you in discovering the inner you, for ex- if a person likes to draw, the person will draw and hence he or she will discover the interest or their area of interest,  they will get to know about their quality and hence will secure their future in their interest. There are some people who know you better than you.

You need to dig deep inside to get you to know yourself. Your personality, character, and traits also say a lot about your qualities. Well, there is a test which can be conducted to get to know about yourself, so, take two opposite adjectives and ask yourself which one suits you the best and if you get stuck somewhere between the two adjectives with an = sign, then remember that you have a lot of time to do this test because a good and accurate answer describes a person better. The main five things that matter the most are:

Think about your life :  If you are a kind of person who helps people in solving the problems of others and give priority to their problems then you are surely a selfless person, if you are a person who does things for the welfare of others and help yourself also then you are a helping person. In similar ways you can list out things that you do and then get your qualities listed out 

List out your qualities : As I said above, list out things you do or love to do like ‘I am creative’ or ‘I am helpful’. The next step is to write them down and be proud of what qualities you have. If you know what you are good at, then its easier to improve from there.

Think and list your weaknesses : Now what you have to do is list out the things in contrast to your qualities. List out your weaknesses and have a look at them. Do you have low self-confidence? Are you scared of doing things new to you? No, don’t be, you can improve yourself by going against your limits and try new things. These things you do will motivate you!

Enjoy becoming a better person : If you have any spare time, join a sport or something which you are not good at. For ex – if u are not good at swimming then join swimming classes and make yourself better at it as we know practice makes perfect.

Remember that you are one and only : Don’t copy people, you are the only one. Don’t try to imitate others because you are who you are and only one.

So, if you adopt these five points then you will surely be able to make out your qualities and surely one day you will be able to succeed. All you have to do is believe in yourself and trust yourself. If you know how to make out your qualities then you surely can have a secure future from the start of the journey.

                                                                                             

IS FOREIGN LANGUAGE IMPORTANT IN OUR LIFE?

English is not a foreign language. It is a language spoken by most of the people in various countries and can also be called as the universal language as it stands at the position for the mostly spoken language in the world. Well, as we come to the topic my answer to the question is yes… because the learning of a new language has many merits and barely any limitations. We all gain through learning a new language, there’s nothing we lose.

Now the first advantage is that, it plays a crucial role in getting to know about a different culture as a language says all about its culture. For Ex-French is a language which tells us about the French lifestyle and brims us with knowledge about its culture. Secondly, the person who knows a foreign language can act as a translation tool between two languages, for Ex- if a person wants to read an article which is in a foreign language, the other person can help him to translate the language into the local language and vice versa. Now a problem faced by many people is that when they travel to different countries they are unable to communicate with the people over there. Why? Because there are some countries in the world which can not speak in English. So, if a person knows a foreign language he or she can travel to more places having wider choices.

The most important fact is that people get attracted to a person who has many merits, one of the most important prospect in this is knowing how to speak a foreign language. The person who can speak multiple languages can also do quite a no. of things – this is the mindset of today’s generation. Well a person can expand his or her business through deals with different companies from all over the world. Here , the language again plays a crucial role for communication purposes.Through these new languages we can also adapt a new way of living as a language tells about its culture and the more we know the better it becomes for us as we get more knowledge.

Lastly, the foreign language helps to develop a position in a multi-national campaigns where people meet and talk to each other, exchange ideas and share lifestyles. ‘Language’ is a word with many people revolving around it as this word keeps the people tied to each other through its force. The deeper we get into it, the vaster it becomes. Learning a new language sometimes leads to the less usage and neglecting the usage of our national language which becomes a greater issue to handle with. Learn a new language, teach others, achieve your goal and be the boss.
