Cockroach Theory of Self Development

A beautiful speech by Sundar Pichai - an IIT-MIT Alumnus :

The cockroach theory for self development:

At a restaurant, a cockroach suddenly flew from somewhere and sat on a lady.She started screaming out of fear. With a panic stricken face and trembling voice, she started jumping, with both her hands desperately trying to get rid of the cockroach.Her reaction was contagious, as everyone in her group also got panicky. The lady finally managed to push the cockroach away but ...it landed on another lady in the group.

Now, it was the turn of the other lady in the group to continue the drama. The waiter rushed forward to their rescue. In the relay of throwing, the cockroach next fell upon the waiter.

Be able to trust your own

"You have to regard yourself as a cloud, in the flesh, because you see clouds never makes mistakes. Did you ever see a cloud that was misshapen? Did you ever see a badly designed wave? Heh, no they always do the right thing! But if will treat yourself for awhile as a cloud, a wave, and realize that you can't make a mistake, whatever you do. Because even if you do something that seems to be totally disastrous, it all come out in the wash somehow or other. Then through this capacity you will develop a kind of confidence, and through confidence you will be able to trust your own intuition." ~ Alan Watts

Every thing has two...

Cry has 3 letters so does joy.

Negative has 8 letters so does Positive.

Failure has 7 letters so does success.

Fail has 4 letters so does pass.

Enemies has 7 letters so does friends.

Life has 4 letters so does dead.

Hate has 4 letters so does love.

Rich has 4 letters so does poor.

Anger has 5 letters so does laugh.

Hurt has 4 letters so does heals.

Temple has 6 letters so does mosque, church.

 Just as there are two sides to every coin, there are two ways to every situation, one is right and another is wrong. You have to decide which one is yours whether it's easy or hard one, you have to decide your attitude towards it positive or negative, you have to decide the way of your journey towards success or failure.

So Don't lay the blame on others for your situation, It's you wholly responsible for that. Try hard enough before giving up and don't regret yourself for failure.

How to Be Yourself

Be yourself. I’ve lost count how many times I’ve heard this phrase in the movies, songs and books I’ve encountered. And I have to admit I never really understood what it meant all this time. Until recently.

There’s more to this phrase than what you think. Sure, you know yourself better than any other person. You know what you like and dislike, you understand your feelings, and you can most probably say that you are your own best friend.

Yet why do you still frown when you see the mirror. Why do you keep comparing yourself to other people? Why do you fail to see your strengths as a person?

This is the moment where you are actually being far from yourself. You are not being you. You are being what others expect you to be. You are living up to other’s expectations, not yours. And thus, you feel discontented, unhappy and emotionally weak. More

Be yourself, and follow your passion

Be yourself, no matter who you face

Be yourself, and tune in to your feelings

Be yourself, and trust your intuition

Have Faith On...

You should not trust your knowledge and experience 100%. There are unknown gaps and illusions in them. You cannot handle the future with this broken knowledge and experience of your life. Faith is the only thing that can fill up the holes in your knowledge and experience. With faith you acknowledge that you don't know what's in store for you and by being positive you increase the chances 1000-folds of the future being in your favor. Have faith.

Never Give Up On...

It took six attempts for Sachin to lift the world cup and it took Leonardo dicaprio six nominations to win an Oscar, and both of them deserved it more than anyone else!!!

Success is not easy to achieve. There is no shortcut to the ultimate goal. But in order to make dreams come into reality you have to work hard, focused on the way you have decided, stay consistent throughout the journey of your dream and  never give up easily on your dreams.

The Law of Dreams....

Quote Courtesy

Dreams have a knack for turning into reality sooner or later. They might be positive or negative, doesn't matter. If you hold them in your mind long enough, reality will always catch up. This is the law. But most people have negative dreams like "I can't make it happen". All our fears and doubts are just that - negative dreams. When we hold this dream long enough, it's no surprise we get what we dream. So be careful what you dream of, next time.
