WEEK IN BRIEF 6 - 11 December, 2010

Quote for the Week

“Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.” – Buddha

There is no need to debate over whether anger is good or bad; it’s quite simple actually. It’s confusing, definitely unpleasant and eventually leaves us feeling quite awkward.

But doesn’t everyone get angry? Yes, but it is up to the individual to tell apart the good anger from the bad anger. There’s no need to suppress it, just try to stay calm and put your thoughts forward calmly and clearly.

Like someone once said, anger is one letter short of danger. So be careful...

Quote for the Week

"Failure is success if we learn from it." - Malcolm Forbes

No one likes failure. It mars your self esteem, bruises your confidence and crushes your ego; it just makes you feel BAD. But then, does failure have anything to do with success?

If you analyze where you have gone wrong, the next time you will refrain from making the same mistake and will do better; then, as they say, failure will indeed become your stepping stone to success. You must also take time once in a while to take stock of your successes. That way your letdowns won’t seem so significant anymore.

WEEK IN BRIEF 15 - 20 November, 2010

Quote for the Week

"A goal without a plan is just a wish." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery

How many wishes have you made in your life? How many have come true? Wishes are akin to expectations - you wish for something and hope for the best. They are all about what you would like to have. On the other hand, goals are about what you must have; they are specific, result-oriented and mostly realistic. We often think of our target, and pave our way precisely just to reach that destination. Goals are about sweat and effort, with a dash of hope.
