Never say die attitude

Success depends on 80% of our attitude and 20 % of aptitude. Natural talent, you will argue is important, but more vital is what you do with your skills.

 

You will see a lot of skilled people around who are wasting their talent by not using it. They are the types who have little faith in themselves. They overlook their strengths and instead focus on their limitations. Maybe, it is because in their childhood they got cornered with negative self-beliefs. You can easily turn these negative attitudes into positive ones by telling yourself that you can, instead of thinking that you can’t.

 

If you tell yourself that you need to construct a positive belief system, you will see immediate results. Start your day visualising happiness, contentment, gratitude and success. You will see how many positive factors converge to make it happen. Research has conclusively shown how most of us suffer from diseases that are caused by stress, anger, self-doubt and bitterness. So throw them out of the window. Deal with stress by exercising, yoga, mediation and positive visualisation. Ask yourself why you are stressed. Find the root and deal with it immediately. Identify the feelings so that you know how to counteract it with positive messages to yourself.

 

Others around will continue mouthing negative missives. Instead of ignoring it, try interjecting new ideas, optimistic perspectives or satisfying thoughts. Listen to their response and invariably, you will see that their perspective gradually changes. If it doesn’t, move on.

 

Be careful of the kind of people you spend time with in the office. Are they time wasters, negative windbags? Steer clear of them and look for relationships that would bring a new energy within you.

 

If negative thoughts are powerful, try playing games with yourself. Look out of the window and distract yourself. Communicate with your pet. Read. Start a new hobby. Call a friend who has a positive mindframe and meet for coffee. Or attend a seminar or take part in a workshop where you can expand your knowledge. You can recharge yourself in a thousand ways. Never say die.

Sathya Sai Baba to be buried on Wednesday, 5 Lakh expected for funeral

PUTTAPARTHI: One of India's most revered spiritual leaders with a following of kings and commoners alike, Sri Sathya Sai Baba, passed away on Sunday morning at 7:40 am of cardio-respiratory failure at the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences here. He was 85.

Sai Baba's death was announced at 10.15 am by hospital director Dr A N Safaya, who said, "Bhagwan Sri Sathya Sai Baba is no more with us physically. He left his earthly body on April 24, 2011, at 7.40 am due to cardio-respiratory failure." He was admitted to the hospital 28 days ago with cardiac problems and his condition deteriorated with many of his organs failing.

The Baba's body will lie in state at Sai Kulwant Hall in Prasanthi Nilayam Ashram until Tuesday for his devotees and followers to have a last darshan. He will then be buried close to his Yajur Mandir residence on Wednesday in line with the practice adopted for Hindu spiritual leaders. Sanyasis are said to symbolically submit their bodies to fire at the time of renunciation by donning saffron or flame-coloured robes.

"The exact time of burial will be announced later," said Andhra's industries minister Geeta Reddy. Five lakh people are expected for the funeral that will include national and international dignitaries.

Before announcing Sai Baba's demise, the police ordered a complete shutdown of Puttaparthi. All shops were closed and roads barricaded. Those arriving from Bangalore (barring mediapersons and government officials) had to stop 8km out of town.

"His body was wrapped in orange clothes and covered up to the eyes. Nobody uttered a word. Everybody wept," said Sai Kumar, 33, a local businessman and a devotee. "I spoke to him on March 18 for two minutes and took his photograph," he said, tears rolling down his cheeks.

At 3 pm, the body was shifted to Sri Kulwant Hall in Prasanthi Nilayam (the highest abode of peace), where Sathya Sai Baba gave discourses and met devotees daily for over four decades.

Thousands back Anna Hazare's hunger strike; govt offers deal

Students in T-shirts and Sikhs in turbans and carrying swords rallied alongside peasants and executives on Friday in support of activist Anna Hazare's hunger strike against corruption, as the government and protest leaders neared a deal on the Lokpal bill.


Septuagenarian Hazare's campaign draws on widespread public anger over a spate of corruption scandals that have emerged in Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's second term, tarnishing the government's image and spooking investors.

The biggest scandal involves charges that rule violations during a 2007-08 grant of telecoms licences may have cost the government as much as $39 billion in lost revenue. The then-telecoms minister Andimuthu Raja has been forced to resign and has been arrested.

Hazare has been fasting since Tuesday on a street-side platform in the shadow of New Delhi's Jantar Mantar, demanding the government enact the Jan Lokpal bill, a stringent anti-corruption law.

Crowds in the capital and other cities across the country have swelled each day, with word being spread through extensive media coverage, text messages and social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter.
On Friday, the thousands gathered before Hazare shouted anti-graft and anti-government slogans, vowing not to yield until the Congress-led coalition government agrees to their demands.

Protesters held up banners that read: "It's the talk on the streets, my leader is a thief". Badges read: "Manmohan Singh want my vote? Support the Jan Lokpal Bill."

Hazare has demanded that members of civil society sit with ministers to draft the bill, which would give an independent ombudsman police-like powers to prosecute ministers, bureaucrats and judges.

"The people's voice has reached your (government's) ears. If you remain deaf, the people will teach you a lesson," Hazare told his supporters, to loud cheers.

"This bill will come, whatever the sacrifice it needs. I am ready for that sacrifice," said the slight Hazare, clad in a white tunic and trousers and a Gandhi cap.

The protesters initially wanted their nominee to head the committee drafting the bill, while the government said it would be headed by a minister. Hazare later said he was willing for his nominee to be the co-chair along with the minister.

Emerging from negotiations with a government minister, Hazare's emissary hinted at a solution.

"We are going to Anna now. Anna will take a call and will announce his decision. You will be very happy to know his decision," Swami Agnivesh told reporters late on Friday.

Earlier, Sonia Gandhi, the president of the ruling Congress party who is seen as the power behind the government, said she was sure the government would pay heed to the views of Hazare and appealed to him to end his fast.

India ranked 78th on Transparency International's latest corruption index, a worse ranking than Asian rival China. Graft has long been a part of daily life.
