Really, Nothing is impossible...

• I have seen people with most ordinary background, knowledge and skills being elevated to higher positions and going very well in life....
• It is possible that one can do excellent jobs, if the person has enough determination, tenacity, consistency, common sense...
• For achieving excellence, we need proper  physical and human environment. But there can cases where a person makes the environment work for him or her by revolutionizing the way of functioning as well as by tuning the environment to work for him or her...
• Yes, it is possible to achieve the unthinkable, if the person has extraordinary will-power, determination, ability of working harder than others, right kind of knowledge, attitudes and skills
• Ordinary people become extraordinary by working HARDER FOR A CAUSE, MISSION, OBJECTIVE, OR GOAL
• At the end of the day, we must be able to finish the jobs at hand for fulfilling our short-term and long-term goals
• The biggest barrier to SUCCESS IS THE LACK OF FAITH IN SELF & ITS ABILITIES
• 'YES, I CAN DO' should be the only GUIDING PRINCIPLE IN DAILY LIFE
• Another great barrier to success is PROCRASTINATION OR BEING LETHARGIC ABOUT DOING THINGS HERE, NOW, TODAY
• GREATEST BARRIERS TO SUCCESS: LACK OF KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, & ATTITUDES; LACK OF TENACITY & DETERMINATION; LACK OF HARD WORK IN A CERTAIN DIRECTION; LACK OF CONSISTENCY, LACK OF ENERGY & ENTHUSIASM, LACK OF VISION, FICKLE-MINDEDNESS; RESTLESSNESS; LACK OF HARD CORE WILL-POWER, LIMITATION OF THINKING ABILITIES, LACK OF BRAIN-POWER & MEMORY

Seeing a picture is essential for achieving big things in life

• We must be able to develop a clear vision about what we wish to achieve in life
• Most of us do not exploit our inner potentials for doing things
• Major part of our inner potentials remain unexplored throughout our lives: a tragedy
• We can do many things well, but we can do certain things excellently
• We must possess highest level mental tenacity and strength to pursue higher levels of goals in life

• Maintain a e-DIARY OF events of each day
• If we WORK HARDER THAN THE COMMON PEOPLE, we shall surely achieve the best things in the world....
• We must believe in THE PRINCIPLE  'YES, I CAN ALSO DO IT' 
• Yes, We can achieve great things, IF WE BELIEVE IN OURSELVES....
• Most of the times, WE FAIL DUE TO LACK OF CONSISTENT HARD WORK IN THE SPECIALIZED AREA OF OUR ACTIVITIES
• FROM EACH FAILURE, WE MUST LEARN THINGS AND ENRICH OURSELVES FOR TAKING BIG STEPS IN FUTURE
• Hardy, strong, fearless, courageous and bold people are HELD IN HIGH RESPECT IN ANY SOCIETY
• BEING FEARLESS is the ultimate condition for ACHIEVING GREAT THINGS IN LIFE
• A POOR ACHIEVER is always surrounded by FEAR, ANXIETY, WORRIES, TENSION AND OTHER NEGATIVE EMOTIONS which are self-destructive in nature
• Better late than never. LET US START OUR WORK FROM TODAY, NOW, HERE....
• Nothing in the world CAN STOP YOU ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS, IF YOU HAVE STRONG FAITH IN YOURSELF AND YOUR INNATE ABILITIES , SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE...

Relativity of developing an art of living

• Opinions may vary widely, and hence we should stop arguing with various people, on the special topic of ART OF LIVING
• Everybody is allowed to develop his or her special ART OF LIVING PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy, developed after a lot of struggles, trials and tribulations, are solidly founded on the following aspects of life and living:

1. Maximum time should be devoted to building good health, especially exercise, diet, meditation, Yoga, Pranayam(breathing exercises)
2. Not causing harm to any harm, intentionally and deliberately
3. Building knowledge, concepts, and ideas & ideals that will be of great benefits to others
4. Great amount of selflessness & detachment in all matters: name, fame, wealth, money, pleasure and power 
5. Being mentally and spiritually strong so that weaker ones take seek peaceful shelter under broad philosophies of my life
6. Feeling GOD and remembering Him, all day long 
7. Soul is indestructible and hence, not to worry about the temporary bodily illusion...
8. GOD-realization is the ultimate objective of life and hence we should act in the direction of achieving GOD-ly state, slowly but steadily
9. To avoid stupid people, immersed in seeking material pleasures and achievements,  by hook or by crook
10. To enjoy working in my specialized domains and to be least dependent on any other on the universe, except GOD
11. Being independent and free from all kinds of human interactions and transactions , as far as possible 
12. Being a free man 
13. Minimum human interactions, except so called socially essential ones
14. Being my own boss, all the time, in knowledge, money, work,speeches, and thoughts....
15. Do not have any boss, be your own boss. Practice this philosophy from today.
16. Let others criticize me. I can never stop people thinking and talking differently and venomously. Strong ignore all such scoundrels. But keep improving yourself on each single day
17. Do not fall into the business traps of others who are cheating people through advertisement of knowledge, materials, machines, and so called secret, miraculous powers.....
18. Be yourself. Cross-exam everything from the fundamentals of science, technology and humanities.....

• Let us inspire ourselves for greater achievements 
• Let us work harder and see the effects on our lives
• In my case, I have a great failure, as I have never explored the world of courage and bravery, because of great inertia at my mental sphere
• Can I now come out of the self-built shell of timidity, fear, negative emotions, lack of confidence ?
• Yes, I can.
• Let me explore the world of knowledge, practical sense, courage and self-confidence form now...

Modern allopathic doctors have become totally commercially oriented and they have reduced themselves to MONEY-MAKING machines and they are taking advantage of the IGNORANCE OF THE COMMON PEOPLE. So, the GREAT IDEA is to EDUCATE OURSELVES ON THE BASICS OF MEDICINES which have least side-effects on the diseased body. Homeopathic medicines act both on body and mind.

• We must adhere to quality objectives as a prerequisite to growth of any business....

Attention to finer details

• ATTENTION TO FINER DETAILS really matter in attaining perfection in what needs to be done
• Many times, I committed blunders in my official jobs, as I blindly trusted people & delivered things without cross-verification...This is bad
• I used to be 'in a hurry' for completing things at the last moment, but I sat on the same thing idle for a long time. This shows my  total unprofessional attitudes and characteristics.

• Think of GOD and divinity & enrich yourself with boundless pleasure of living a human life

Learning from others....

• The world is an open book...
• We should concentrate on learning from variety of sources...
• So called most ordinary people can give us the best inputs about practical life, philosophy and core issues of a human hardships, sufferings, aspirations, and struggles
• So called ordinary are actually the real heroes in social life, through them great things are accomplished by the so called ivory tower scientists and leaders
• Hard lessons of life are revealed to those struggle for their daily bread and butter
• Hard lessons are learnt by those who exert themselves physically for earning a livelihood
• Mostly, so called intellectuals are basically bloody fools who lead  parasitic lives and exploit people for their own interests in terms of name, fame , wealth, money and acquisition of illegitimate powers

• This process is the starting point of self-developmental activities
• Self-development is a never ending process
• We require to explore our innermost abilities and come out with hard core motivation of the self to do better 
• Without proper and correct evaluation of our abilities, we shall fail to plan well about excelling in our areas of activities
• Excelling is life's most exciting state of one's life
• Achieving personal excellence is the highest aim in material life
• At the level of excellence, one is in the happiest state...
• A happy man can deliver the best services to the society...

Art of living

• From a lot of suffering and practical experience, I have come to certain great conclusions
• Honesty is the foundation of true peace in life

So far as I know, he had been an ordinary man with extraordinary courage and confidence, and he attained a very high level of prosperity in life. His success, to me, is the result of consistent extraordinary hard, leadership qualities and tenacity. World becomes a slave to those exert themselves with extraordinary force, vigor and will power in a particular field...
• One of my senior friends Mr.Kundu is not an educated person in usual sense, but his patience, hard work and extraordinary self-control made him financially well-established in the society. His interpersonal skills are simply extraordinary. Patience, tolerance, calmness and constant devotion to his professional activities mark his success and prosperity.
• One of my friends, Dr. Bhaumik, an Ophthalmologist, had been a great success in his field of specialization. He is devoted to his own domain and could build a great reputation for himself. Good behaviors, respect for others, patience and tolerance, hard work, discipline & professionalism mark his extraordinary success and prosperity
• We need not read books to improve ourselves, if we closely the footsteps of highly successful and effective people in the society. Following them will surely improve us on many fronts.
• The biggest achievement of professional life is that we become the 'best' and 'most effective' in our field of activities
• To be the 'best', we should prepare ourselves by continuous efforts & hard work & devotion  for the battle of life
• We must use common sense & brain  in all practical situations to create a winning positions for ourselves

Its a waste of time to discuss about meaning of life

• My personal barber tells that earning money to sustain daily living with food and water is life to him...basic biological living is the basis for him ,especially rating good quantity of food and a good night's sleep is OK for him...he is also saving some money for the future ,not a bad idea
• Many people stop at ensuring a decent standard of living and saving money,going for family tour,enjoying alcohol with friends ,educating children etc

• Some are focused on money,wealth and show offs to others in the society
• Some are living with extreme ego and display of muscle power
• Some are living on exerting power ,especially political power on the most ordinary people
• Some are living on providing so-called social services,especially earning good amount of money in the guise of serving others

• Selling dream has now become a profession
• Telling lies to common people has also become a great profession
• Some are addicted to cash
• Some are addicted to sex
• Some are addicted to alcohol and drugs and live in a virtual world of their own
• Some are addicted to power 
• Some are perverse
• Some are inclined to world of imagination,fiction and literature and art
• But the meaning of life is about seeking God and perfection in this very life through meditation, yoga,reading of Scriptures,devotion and unconditional surrender to God,having unflinching faith on existence of God and His divine wishes...
• Finally it is the innermost satisfaction,freedom,liberty,expression of the self through ethical,moral,aesthetic,legal,and global citizenship,philanthropy,selfless services,universal brotherhood,humanity
• Lastly it is God realization and journey beyond the illusory material world and trap of enjoyment....

• We can control our own thoughts, actions and speeches for making things better for ourselves
• If we continuously try hard to change ourselves better, we shall surely be excellent in our own field of activities
• I have observed many mediocre people doing excellent work, by virtue of their extraordinary tenacity, determination and hard work...
