The Flame of Passion



   Passion, as people are often told, is the driving force behind all enviable achievements. This assertion is always true and practical: you need to put passion into every facet of your life to regularly remain satisfied with life, be it in your academic studies, work, businesses, marriage, relationships, and so on.

(ii)               Concentrate on your strengths and not on your weaknesses
(iii)             Identify with positive people who will help you keep your passion on fire
(iv)             Believe in yourself!

Success Comes in Drops and Drips



Success comes in drops and drips. A little achievement here, an outstanding performance there can all add up to what people will refer to as success. This philosophy is in sharp contrast to get-rich-quick ideology, where people chase shadows, looking to reap without making an attempt to sow some efforts!
     However, to remain actively successful, YOU must undergo:-
(i)                 Periodic Assessment:-checking the effectiveness of your current plans and strategies.
(ii)               Refocusing Attention:- identifying new grounds or opportunities and efficiently working on them.
(iii)             Self-Management:-Be in control of yourself as you work hard to achieve success in all of your endeavors.

Managing the “Slippery” Time



     Time is as slippery as an eel: it takes arduous readiness to be able to manage it! In other words, time management has always been a difficult but not completely unmanageable process.
          Take a look at these interesting points:
(a)    Time Management versus Personal Organization:- Time management is synonymous to personal organization in certain ways; if you are able to plan or organize your daily activities, you can as well be labeled a great time manager.
(b)   Time is Always Innocent:- It is common to hear expressions like these from people: “I didn’t have enough time to complete the task”, or “I would have accomplished much if I had had time on my side”. The fact remains that Time is always innocent, no matter what amount of accusations people levied against it. The same 24 hours are allotted to everyone: some will use that to be successful while others will just let those important hours slide away.
(c)    Managing Your Time is No Joke:- Using alarms, timers, schedulers and other timing gadgets may be helpful, but personal discipline is the most essential attribute to become a great Time Manager. And personal discipline entails knowing when to pull the plug on excessive time-wasting activities, distractions and unproductive relationships.
