Meaning of Success - Emerson

Worth as many repetitions :-

"To laugh often and much;

to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children;
to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends;
to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others;
to leave the world a little better; whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition;
to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived.
This is the meaning of success."

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

Shahrukh Khan @ Yale University

Shahrukh Khan @ Yale University
 
“Good evening everyone,

I’d like to thank you all for giving me the opportunity to be here. I also want to thank Isha for following up with the most disorganised and incommunicative person in the world in order to fix today’s meeting with all of you. Thanks I really am honoured and extremely happy to be here.

I have memories of being in Yale five years ago. It was December and so damn cold that while professing love to my leading lady and singing a Bollywood ditty….which went something like this…..Kabhie alvida na kehna….my mouth froze itself to death… I say death because as I inched closer to kiss her…. mouthing the words kabhi alvida…na…my mouth and jaw just locked….like this.

So I am hoping my second outing to your wonderful university turns out differently because.......

Anyway... (Must Read)


People are often unreasonable and self-centred , forgive them anyway..
If you are honest , People may cheat you , be honest anyway..
If you find hapiness , people may be jealous , be happy anyway..
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow , do good anyway..
The people you care for may not appreciate your affection, love them anyway..
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough , give your best anyway..
Because
in the end ,
it is between YOU and GOD.....!! It was never between you and them anyway..

The First Hour Of Work Day

[Courtesy: http://www.fastcompany.com/node/3000619 via @FastCompany]

What Successful People Do With The First Hour Of Their Work Day

How much does the first hour of every day matter? As it turns out, a lot. It can be the hour you see everything clearly, get one real thing done, and focus on the human side of work rather than your task list.




Remember when you used to have a period at the beginning of every day to think about your schedule, catch up with friends, maybe knock out a few tasks? It was called home room, and it went away after high school. But many successful people schedule themselves a kind of grown-up home room every day. You should too.

The first hour of the workday goes a bit differently for
