"He who fails to plan, plans to fail" - Anonymous
A humble proverb with a very profound message.
A message which believes in actions rather than just words.
A message which speaks of thinking ahead.
A message which talks about transforming your dreams into reality.
Dreaming of success is what every one does. But only a few know, what it takes to get there. And These are the few achievers, who precisely know the importance of PLANNING. Planning has got all that needs to get you there.
Imagine, facing an examination without any preparations, without any groundwork, without any planning. Trying to succeed falls under the same class. You just can't dream of achieving without having a plan in hand. It's like aiming a target with eyes closed. Imagine how many attempts would be needed to actually hit the bull's eye? It would be more of luck than skill to achieve it.
What does it mean?? It implicates that Dreams be jotted down, milestones be penned, paths be defined and finally be executed. Easier said than done. But believe me, only route to Accomplishment has to cross this bridge of schematic approach.
Ambiguous dreams and plain talking leads us nowhere.
Everyday schedules has to be composed.
Schedules need to be Monitored.
Results be transcribed.
Accomplishments be lauded and Failures be reviewed.
All this on daily basis will get us in groove and set us free on path of Victory.
We will feel the difference, grow in confidence and Success will elude us no more.

Dare to Dream
"Dare To Dream" The Magic words.
Words that create history.
Words that build present.
Words that shape future.
These are the words which have power to change the destiny of an individual, power to turn the tides of the fortune, power to make special out of ordinary.
It all starts with Dreaming.
Dreaming, not for just surviving.
Dreaming, not for just existing.
Dreaming, not for just thriving.
But Dreaming to achieve.
Dreaming to excel.
Dreaming to accomplish.
But Dreaming alone can't get you there. You have to be realistic with your dreams. You have to plan it, You have to execute it and You have to get it to the finish.
But then said that, it does start with Dreaming.
Do you have the guts to Dream?
Dreams to rise above the rest.
Dreams to make impossible possible.
Dreams to outshine the world.
Yes it does start with dreaming.
If people would not have had dreams of reaching horizon, we would have not crossed continents.
If someone would not have had dreams of flying, we would not have been piercing the skies.
If no one would have had dreams of reaching for stars, we would not have reached the moon.
Everyone has dreams.
Everyone has aspirations.
Everyone wants something or the other.
So, What's your Dream?
Do you Dream of being the wealthiest person of the world?
Or do you Dream of being the most powerful face of the earth?
Or do you Dream of being the King of Kings?
Or do you Dream of owning a house on the banks of a lovely river and fishing with your beloved?
Or do you Dream of engrossing all the pains of your loved ones and sprinkle them with all the happiness that they deserve?
The answer most of you would give is "Oh Yes, I do Dream. Dream of ..............".
Thats great to hear. I would say You have taken that first step.
But now it is time for that first effort.
Dreaming was great, but it is time now to turn it into GOAL.
and as someone has said "Goal is nothing but Dreams with a Deadline".
So, make your goals, plan your steps and and finally execute and execute and execute..... until you succeed.
But more on that later. For Now, start dreaming, but don't sleep as you have to rise.
You have to rise and shine above the world.
Words that create history.

Sky is the Limit
"When things are no more the same ,
Try once more and play the game.
Wipe the tear and stop the cry;
Sky is the limit if you try" - Anonymous
"Sky is the Limit" a phrase which is often uttered but rarely implemented. It implicates Sky is our limit but it itself has no limits, which ultimately turns out that our potentials are unlimited.
The question here arises that Are we all born with limitations? Is our present a mirror of future? Are we incapable of springing out of the rot that we are into?
I would say it's our Brain that plays games and makes us believe
No, you can't run that extra mile.
No, you can't jump that extra feet.
No, you can't climb that extra inch
No, you can't scale that extra depth.
If any of the above was true then
Budhiya Singh, a six year old kid, would not have run 60 km in a stretch.
Sergei Bubka would not have broke his own world record 35 times.
Sir Edmun Hillary would not have climbed, the so called in-scalable, Mt Everest.
Patrick Musimu would not have dived 209.6 meters, the deepest ever by any human.
We often wonder how do these guys do this?
How can someone break his own world record 35 times when it takes ONE IN MILLIONS to break it once?
The answer to this is PERSEVERANCE.
No matter how many times you fall.
No matter how many times you fail.
No matter how many times you falter.
You have to keep up trying. Keep trying like the SPIDER, who would fall a hundred times before it actually scales the heights. You need to push your self and push continuously.
We all have failed.
We all have fallen.
Haven't we fallen the first time we tried to walk?
Haven't we faltered the first time we tried to speak?
If we would have given up,
then it would not have been possible to walk today.
then it would not have been possible to talk today.
It has taken perseverance to achieve these. It is pushing your limits. It is breaking your barriers.
We cannot sit back and frown over our destiny. Instead, Lets Push Ourselves. Push our potential an extra inch everyday and one day you would find your self at the Sweet Success Spot, where you have always wanted to be. That extra bit of perseverance will get you there. Lets wait no more and start TODAY.
Try once more and play the game.

Fear thou not; for I am with thee
Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God... (Isaiah 41:10a)
The above lines are from Bible and holds a message. It implicates fear not as it is God who has lead you into a situation and remember what ever he wants you to do is his wish too.
I am neither very religious nor a non-believer. But my point is Why do you fear?
FEAR, I believe is our major enemy in path to success.
Fear of loosing.
Fear of falling.
Fear of embarrassment.
Fear of disgrace.
We spend all our life fearing of something or the other.
Fear of not fulfilling Parents Dream.
Fear of not fulfilling Partner's Demands.
Fear of not fulfilling Children's Wishes.
Fear of not fulfilling everyones expectations.
When was the last time you lived for yourself?
When was the last time you said I want to do this 'cause I want to?
Fear, Fear and Fear. Till when are we supposed to hold ourself back? Till when are we supposed to curb our potential and hamper our success. I don't ask you to be selfish but what I mean is go ahead and do some thing for your dreams, your aspirations, your desires. Live your life fearless. Fearless like a river, flowing through unknown course, breaking all their barriers, wanting to achieve their purpose of meeting the Sea.
Most of us would get stomped over by their Fear and will go back in their shells. Where as there would few people who would rise and say "I am not going down without a fight" and these would be the people who would make their Fear their strength and Rise above the mediocre.
But the question is how do we get there? I would suggest start with a small step.
Go join the dance class you always wanted to.
Go ahead scale the height of nearby mountain.
Sing out loud when your heart wishes.
Run wildly in the rain which you have not done since your childhood.
Do something what you enjoy. Be proud of what you do. Pat yourself for anything you achieved no matter how small that is. Take that baby step towards your dream. Enjoy every moment of accomplishment, every second of realization.
This will boost your confidence and you will make a habit of it. Your Fears will vanish and life will be more beautiful than ever. And You will slowly but steadily scale the heights of sweet Success.
Let me thank all you guys for patiently reading my blogs. Thank you all for your feedbacks. Hope this second blog has helped you introspect yourself and inspired you to achieve what you want to. Keep your comments flowing in and be tuned in for more.... till then Adiós..

To Be or Not To Be
"To Be Or Not To Be" (from Hamlet 3/1) by William Shakespeare.
Who hasn't heard of these lines before? I guess most of us has.
For those who haven't, let me quote the exact lines from the greatest Writer ever.
"To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation"
But why am I quoting him here?? The people who know me would be surprised...
They would be thinking Amit and Shakespeare?? What a strange combination.
None of my close ones would believe this to be true.
But friends, isn't blogging and Amit a strange combination in the first place?
Ain't I already extrovert enough to keep expressing my self to everyone I bump into?
Why would I choose a medium like blog to communicate to others?
I know all of you would be going through a lot of questions.
But we will answer all of them over time. But to start with All of you know I am unpredictable.
So, Here I am with my First Ever blog to the world. Don't be surprised..
Let me return to my actual point. "To Be Or Not To Be".
I have been fascinated by these words since I can't even remember.
I always found a great meaning behind these 6 words.
I have always been inspired by them, I have always been challenged by them.
I have always felt that These words interrogated my existence.
Is the life all about getting born, living and dying??
Is the life all about getting up in the morning, going to office, coming back and sleep?
Were we humans made to do mundane stuff over and over??
Why can't majority of us make a mark in life?
Why only few of us rise and say "World, watch out, I DO EXIST"??
These are some questions which haunt me always.
Why can't I be one of them? The greats who accomplished so much in life were they so different?
Were they Born Talented?? Don't we possess those qualities?
Can only your talent get you to the top?
I believe the answer to this question is "NO".
I believe everyone is Special and has ability to get there.
It's just that our minds are made to find excuses from long and risky path.
We get bogged down by our limitations, our fears, our laziness and our will power.
It's US who let ourselves down.
We just need more confidence in ourselves.
I guess these questions are enough though provoking..
I hope I have succeeded at least a bit in provoking your though process.
And I believe path to success start right here.
We together can dig deep into it and find a solution.
We will deal with each hurdles of success one by one.
So, do keep tuned in for more updates...
and do keep posting your thoughts..
As I Said it all starts with THINKing.
