WEEK IN BRIEF: 20-25 June, 2011

Quote for the Week:

Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goals.- Sydney Smith

You were going in the right on schedule for your project deadline but suddenly a hitch occurs and you end up lagging behind. Everything was going on as planned but just then something came in the way and now you don’t know what to do. Obstacles can come in different manners in different contexts. Whatever hinders you from reaching your goal or your destination or the end result can be considered as obstacles. Obstacles are basically DIVERSIONS that take off your FOCUS from your ultimate goals. You can approach obstacles in two ways- either you can stop whatever you have been doing and accept defeat or you can get over it and go ahead by finding an alternative solution. A positive and creative thinking can definitely keep you on track no matter what happens.

Quote for the Week:

And in the end, it’s not years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.- Abraham Lincoln

Life today is so fast that we hardly notice it pass by.We are all entwined in our daily routines and engagements that we barely get time to relax. Each day has its own troubles and hustles choking the ‘life’ we have. Is there a way out of this? There’s no magic formula that we can follow to live a relaxed life. We can’t just forget our responsibilities and be a ‘free bird’ either. But we can surely be content by living our lives in the right way. Do good things, help someone in trouble and above all be TRUE to YOURSELF. Make sure that you will never have any regrets in your life. Life is too short to waste it with our daily worries and anxieties. It’s not how long you live but how you live your life that’s important. So why don’t we just give it the best and get the best out of it….

We have always strived to promote this responsibility among all IPSRians.Keeping this in mind, the IPSR PR department has brought out a wonderful video presentation titled “Open Your Eyes” highlighting the spirit of the Social commitment of the company.
