The Perfection To Excellence !

 “ Always aim at perfection for only then will you achieve excellence “. A famous quote by J. R. D. Tata. Have you ever aimed for perfection? What is the last thing you have done with 100  percent perfection? 


To be honest, I don't remember what was the last thing I had done with 100 percent perfection. If you remember what was yours you can surely share. 


What is this perfection? Imagine your teacher had given you some assignment. The work you have done was not that satisfying for the teacher. The teacher asked you to redo. So you reworked the entire assignment and submitted. But the teacher was still expecting more from your side. Again it was given for rework. This time you put some more effort into it and submitted. The teacher was satisfied and accepted your work. 


What had actually happened here. The teacher was expecting a perfect assignment from your side. Your expertise in that topic was improving as she asked you to rework again and again. 

That is exactly what is happening. By striving to be more perfect, you are actually excelling. We have actually seen that we reach excellence when we try for perfection. But what is required for perfection? It's just two things. Simple in theory, but difficult in practice. That is none other than hard work and constant determination.


Excellence and perfection don't happen overnight. It takes months, years or even half of our lifetime. Don’t quit when you get late for the result. Keep trying, and that is the secret key for excellence. 


Let's keep it short and sweet. Before I conclude, I'd like to share the short story about Thomas Alva Edison. He was an American Inventor. He developed many devices in the field of electric power. When Edison was a small boy he was told by the teachers that ‘he was so stupid to learn anything’. He believed he was a slow learner. His academic life was not great, and he even lost two jobs because of his lack of productivity. He tried the invention of almost 1000s of light bulbs. But they didn’t come up that well. However, he believed in himself. He was not ready to quit. He continued his hard work with determination. At last he found something big. He invented many devices in the fields of electric power generation, mass communication, sound recording and motion pictures. Many patents were awarded to him.


Perfection, excellence, success, .. everything is possible to you. All you need to do is to work hard with determination. All the best. Keep moving. Don’t forget to keep your beautiful smile on your beautiful face. Have a great, pleasant day 🙂

Turning Pain into Power !

  The word friendship seems to be too simple but it is having incredible powers than you think. It can give you joy, lots of memories that always hold over hearts and in the same way it teaches you really tough lessons of betrayal and mistreatment. Like many others reading this, I too had experienced both good and bad friendships, this really changed me but ultimately made me stronger only. I believe that we should experience the bad friendships first and then enjoy the really good life waiting for us. Bad friendships are sometimes a blessing in disguise. It will teach us resilience and make us powerful to withstand anything. But not everyone will be so lucky to overcome the emotional scars that happen through bullying or ragging. The tragic story of Ammu, a young nursing student from Kerala is a heartbreaking reminder of this. She ended her life leaving two words behind “I quit”. Ammu’s life was full of promises and I believe she had a beautiful life filled with happiness and wond...

Unstoppable power of challenges.

 W hile walking through the busy streets, I came to notice a poignant scene. A young woman in her 30’s sitting on the footpath and crafting rose bouquets. Beside her a tiny boy - mostly her son, who took the role of a tiny salesman. The boy approached the people walking by requesting them to buy the flowers. The little innocent face caught their attention, so most of them bought flowers. I joined them as well. This might seem like an ordinary scene in a busy city. But taking a moment and thinking of the scene will help us understand many things. In that moment I realized that the boy was not just selling flowers but in fact he was actually cultivating hard work and resilience in him. I am sure that he can face anything in life since he was trained to overcome challenges in this very young age. While many of us have grown in our comfort zone, it will be very difficult when life throws us into a big pit. The more we face problems in our younger age the more we will be able to face ...

Stop Comparing : Start Succeeding !

  Hellooo Everyone! Today, I want to take you back to your school days. Were you a front bencher or back bencher? You know society often considers the front benchers as the toppers and the backbenchers as the losers. Well I believe in what our former president, Abdul Kalam said, “The best brains of the nation may be found on the last benches of the classroom”. From the experiences and stories that I have heard, I came to know that the front benchers may know how to top the class but the back  benchers often have a  deeper understanding of how to be the real topper of life. And then there is that middle group, like me 😉,  the ones that don’t fit in either category. We often find ourselves stuck in the middle trying to succeed both in life and class, chasing for the ideas to be a topper. I guess I am deviating away from the main point I wanted to share with you. Let’s get back to those old school memories. Life was so simple back then, wasn’t it? The only worries were...
