Nobel Peace Prize 2011 - Ms. Ellen Sirleaf


Ellen Johnson Sirleaf (Born 29 Oct 1938), age 79, is a Liberian politician, and Nobel Peace Prize 2011 winner. She is 24th and current President of Liberia since 2006.

Ellen is often referred as "Iron Lady of Liberia" for her strong will and political persistence, and is Africa's first democratically elected female leader. Her political path has not been an easy one and she was imprisoned in 1980's for criticizing government policies in Liberia.



In her book, This Child will be great, she writes - If asked to describe my homeland in one sentence, I may say something like this: Liberia is a wonderful, beautiful, mixed up country, struggling mightily to find itself.

Given more space, however, I would certainly elaborate.

Liberia is some 43,000 square miles of lush, well-watered land on the bulge of West Africa, a country slightly larger than the state of Ohio, a lilliputian nation with a giant history. It has a population of 3.5 million people from some sixteen ethnic groups speaking some sixteen indigenous languages plus English. It has never known hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, droughts, or other natural disasters, only the occasional flood and the more frequent havoc wreaked by man. Liberia is complicated. To paraphrase Winston Churchill, Liberia is a conundrum wrapped in complexity and stuffed inside a paradox. Then again, it was born that way.

In 2011 - She won Nobel Peace Prize for her relentless efforts to bring peace, prosperity and progress for Liberia.

Growth Mindset



Article : Sudhir Pai

It is said, universe began 13.82 billion years ago from a small dot which exploded as BIG BANG.

Since then, it is only growing and expanding.

Look around:
Everything from plants, fishes, trees, birds, animals and humans everything has grown from a small seed. Is'nt it?


Growth, abundance and prosperity is a natural instinct. Think Big. Aim Bigger. Don't feel guilty in doing so.

Some people may like your behaviour. Some may criticize you. Some may ignore you. Don't bother too much.

Keep your focus intact on growth and prosperity, and keep working towards it.

Best Wishes,

Sudhir Pai

Mashelkar Kaka - The man passionate about watches for 40 years.


Article : Sudhir Pai

I remember going to his shop at the age of 12 when I got my first watch as a gift and in six months, there was some problem and needed to repair it urgently.

As I looked in his 50 square feet cute little shop, I was amazed by the collection of watches he had which had come for repair and the new ones he had put for sale.

This shop is located at Thakurdwar Naka as you keep walking slightly towards C.P.Tank on left hand side. The shop is in South Mumbai area. And Mashelkar Kaka (That's Uncle in English), as we fondly call him, has been passionate about discussing, repairing and selling all types of watches for last 40 years.

There is a child like twinkle in his eyes even today, as he discusses about clocks and watches. And we take his advice before buying new watches.

His only advice - Avoid Chinese watches and buy Indian ones 😊

Few days back, I had visited his shop to get my watch repaired and he repaired it in 7 minutes. And as usual shared a cup of tea and some happy moments discussing about clocks, watches and electronic gadgets.

I wish, Mashelkar Kaka keeps on following his passion of repairing watches for next 100 years ...

So Folks - Next time, if you are in South Mumbai and your watch needs repair, do visit him.

Why Tulsi (Holy Basil) is planted at entrance of house?


Article : Sudhir Pai

As a child, I was fascinated with lot of things I observed around me. Some traditions were faith. Some were blind faith. And yet another had some scientific thinking.

I always used to wonder, why Tulsi (Holy Basil) is planted at entrance and worshipped. And I used to ask this question to lot of people and my elders and each one of them had their own version of story as they heard from their elders and friends.

But I was looking for a more scientific explantion until I met an engineer who had more interest in Ayurveda and Indian tradition and I felt his explanation was closest which answered my logical mind.

He first told me benefits of Tulsi plant and leaves which are as follows:

1) Tulsi plant emits oxygen in abundance.
2) Fights cancer.
3) Improves immunity.
4) Fights bacteria and viruses.
5) Useful in cold and cough.

Tulsi leaves can be boiled with tea and milk and drink for healthier life.

You can google and youtube for more information.

Bottom line - Tulsi plant at entrance was a reminder to take (eat tulsi leaves) daily dose of immunity before you go for outdoor work, so that you always remain immune to external harmful viruses and stay healthy.

So, eat tulsi leaves for a good health.

What is Creativity?




By - Sudhir Pai

Creativity is the quality that we bring to the activity we are doing. It is an attitude, an inner approach - how we look at things.

Whatever we do, if we do it joyfully, if we do it lovingly, it is creative. Creativity is the act of turning new and imaginative ideas into reality. Creativity is what makes us human beings unique. It is a gift to us from nature. Look around, everything we see was a result of creative thinking by human mind. Air Conditioners, Mobile Phones, Trains, Aeroplanes everything was a result of creative thinking.

Creative people develop a flexible and open mindset. Either they are born with this trait or over a period of time they develop this trait which evolves them into creative human beings.
They are not childish but child-like.

The world seems to be divided between creative and non creative people. Creativity is all about being fully alive and living courageously.

The right side of human brain is primarily responsible for creative insights. We need to regularly activate it by doing creative activities like dreaming, painting, singing, listening to music.

Sudhir Pai is a consultant, trainer, keynote speaker and author of 2 motivational books.

How To Live Cashless ?



Source : Rediff

Most urban Indians have been managing their lives with difficult-to-obtain cash since that late night prime ministerial proclamation two weeks ago.

The daily travails and the plight of the largely cash-run Indian countryside stare at you from newspaper front pages and television screens even as full-page newspaper advertisements inserted by ewallet companies urge Indians to go cashless.

Abhishant Pant, 36, a FinTech professional, has been living in a cashless state of mind for several months now.

While Indians rush to banks and ATMs to deposit/exchange no-longer-legal-tender Rs 500/Rs 1,000 bank notes and withdraw cash, Pant is chilling at home. He only had loose change amounting to Rs 546 in his 'piggy bank' when the PM declared the note ban.

"I was giving a lecture on payments at an IIT conference in February when someone asked whether it is possible to live without cash in this era of digital payments. I felt it was possible and decided to execute the idea myself," he says.

He was to travel to Singapore and felt he would not face any problems in that nation, arriving without cash in hand. Reality confronted him soon enough at Singapore's Changi airport when he hailed a taxi.

"The taxiwallah refused to take digital payment. So, I had to wait for another cab. Luckily, the third taxi I hailed agreed to do so," Abishant recalls.
Why didn't he carry some cash for an emergency?

"I intentionally didn't," he says. "When you have a safety net, your experience is not real. If I knew I had an option, I would have opted for it. I would have ended up paying in cash, which I did not want. I survived in Singapore for five days only on digital payments."

When Abhishant wrote about his experience, Cashless in Singapore and learning for India on LinkedIn, readers said it was possible to do so in Singapore, but not in India.

3 steps of getting a dream job




If you are looking for getting a dream job, then you need to take out time to think, plan, strategize and take intelligent actions.


During my various coaching sessions with job seekers and their subsequent success in getting a dream job, I have come to conclusion that below 3 steps can help you land in your dream job:


1) Clarity:


We should be very clear in terms of job profile and salary. This is first essential step. I mean the candidate has to be 100% crystal clear as to what exactly is he expecting out of the job he / she is going to do.


With increased number of options, it is very natural to feel excited to make an attempt to all available options. This is biggest mistake a job seeker makes while searching a dream job and often land up in a boring job and get stuck there and remain frustrated throughout the life.

Be very clear as to what are we expecting out of the job.


2) Create an online resume:


Everyone will send a resume. But you can be better than that. You can create a personal website. Make it look very professional. Showcase your enthusiasm. Show your creative side.


It will only send a positive message to recruiters that you are not only a go getter but also a creative person.


3) Brush up LinkedIn profile:


A professional LinkedIn profile is must for those who are looking for getting a dream job. It is also a valuable resource for those who are trying to search a perfect candidate for their job vacancy.


So, it is very essential to brush up your LinkedIn profile on regular basis. And your profile must show a pleasant professional outlook.


So, spend a quality time upgrading your LinkedIn profile on regular basis.

Visualize and Succeed

Creative visualization is a mental technique that uses the imagination to make dreams come true. Used in the right way, creative visualization can improve our life and attract success and prosperity.Visualization is a key ingredient for success in any endeavor. Imagine everything going really well - see what you see and notice your body language - notice your  breathing - notice the words you are using and how you are saying them and imagine everything flowing naturally and easily when it's going just how you want it to go.Keep running through this scenario many times until it feels really good, really easy and really achievable and take the sounds, pictures and feelings back with you into the present and open your eyes.

It's a really great idea to set aside a regular time each day to visualise or imagine a goal you want to achieve  as it becomes a natural and easy habit to embrace - a great time is last thing at night just before you fall asleep so your unconscious mind can keep on fine- tuning the goal while you are asleep and while you dream .


Have fun playing around with this idea and watch your situations gently change for the better !

Creativity

There is no doubt that creativity is the most important human resource of all. Without creativity, there would be no progress, and we would be forever repeating the same patterns.Creativity is thinking up new things. Innovation is doing new things .Listen to anyone with an original idea, no matter how absurd it may sound at first. If you put fences around people, you get sheep. Give people the room they need
