Secrets of Success !!!

Well I just thought of penning down some vital points which I find essential for someone to succeed in their ventures...
  • Never get 'emotionally' attached to material and human ( except your parents, spouse and kids)..
  • Don't give an ear to people who always criticize you or always flatter you.. A real friend is one who does both..
  • Never forget people who pat your shoulders when you are happy and lend their shoulders when you are sad..
  • Stop analyzing life.. Take it as it comes.. Analysis makes it complicated.
  • Love yourself pretty much than others..
  • Don't believe your doubts and doubt your beliefs..
  • If you have a goal and the confidence to do it.. Proceed.. No matter whoever comes in between..
  • When you feel put down, the best person who can console you is yourself only..
  • Life is like a box chocolates.. You never know what is in store for you..
  • Get ready to accept defeat.. Do not lose heart.. Losing one match does not affect your way to the finals.. The loss may be favourable to you sometime later..
  • Talk less.. Act more.. Let the empty vessels make noise..
  • Don't ever be over confident..
  • Respect people who respect you..
There's one day on earth for each one to excel in their talents.. Look out for the day.. Show the world your 'true' talents.. On the way to true victory.. you ll face obstacles, break them.. people ll envy you, overcome them.. you may earn false name, prove them wrong.. Have belief in yourself...

Just like how you can't learn driving a bicycle without falling, you can't achieve your goals without failing.. Don't be let down by the fall.. Learn from it.. Be ready to hold on to the next wave..

Hope this post was inspirational to anyone reading it !!!.. These are what experiences taught me... Have a gr8 life ahead !!!....

Wonderful Memories ....

It was just another ordinary day today till sometime back.. But all of a sudden I fell into the memories of my dear friend !!!.. The happy days we spent together teasing each other, supporting each other.... Inspite of this, I feel sad just because I am just left with these memories to cherish for the coming days.. These memories now bring me little tears which slowly trickle down my cheeks.. I am tired of changing my mood whenever I get these memories.. After all, were these memories written with pencils to just rub them off ?!?!...

Something within me says that those happy days will be coming soon.. I hope it comes soon.. Its just like walking in a long tunnel hoping that one day i would reach the end of the tunnel seeing a ray of sunlight and my dear friend standing in front of it.. That day when I see the ray of light, I would have a smile like that of a new born baby...

This is when I personally realize that when you wanna forget certain things, you can never actually do it.. When you tell your mind to forget certain things, it infact stores it in your sub-conscious mind that reminds you pretty often.. But I feel I don't wanna lose these memories as these are the only souvenirs I have rite now... Let me continue my journey through the tunnel hoping I would reach the end of the tunnel soon..........

The Bucket List !!!


Some months back I happened to watch this movie.. I need to say it was one of the best movies I've ever seen.. I love Morgan Freeman's (Carter Chambers in movie) acting and this one had Jack Nicholson (needless to mention his performance in movie 'Departed') too in it.. thereby making it an excellent movie :).. All I loved about the movie, is its story.. It brought tears in my eyes towards the end..


The movie is about two people from entirely different backgrounds, one being a mechanic and the other being a hospital owner.. They both meet in a hospital owned by Jack Nicholson( Edward Cole in movie).. Within a few days either of them find out that they are on their death bed affected by cancer.. Its when Morgan Freeman writes this 'Bucket List' ... The list of activities which he would love to do before he kicks the bucket.. Jack Nicholson joins with him and together form a list ranging from skydiving, mountaineering to Dinners and partying...


The one scene which really swept me off my feet was when Jack Nicholson kisses his grand daughter and strikes off 'Kiss the most beautiful girl on earth' from his Bucket List.. One particular thing that needs special mention is the character of Edward Cole which i felt was portrayed so well.. He was transformed from a guy who wasn't worried about anything to such a philosophical person when Carter died.. The speech which he makes during Carter's funeral was way too good !!..


One thing what i felt from the movie was a ' true relationship' can change anyone.. Its just that such true relationships are so rare to find now-a-days.. The tag line of this movie also sounds too touchy.. It goes like this 'When his eyes closed, his hearts opened !!! '... Aint that good to hear ?!..

If you wanna read more about this movie.. Just check out this link http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0825232/
