Attitude is the result and reason of every thing happened or destined to be happened. In fact attitude decides the destiny.  It is like a car steering which decides the destination of car. It can make you or ruin you. Generally we believe that education or knowledge is the deciding factor of one's life but that is not true. Let us analyse some more. If A is (1) word of english alphabet, Z is (26). If we assign the numbers to the spellings of these words, just see what is result:

1. EDUCATION =5+4+21+3+1+20+9+15+14=92
2. KNOWLEDGE= 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5=96
3. ATTITUDE =1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100
See above, only attitude could reach to 100. Do we need more analysis? Here are some key punches of attitude:
1. I'm in the business of winning and business is good.
2.Winners make it happen..Losers let it happen.
3. If nothing changes...nothing changes.
4. Some work at it, some fake it, some even do courses on it , but me...I was just born with it.
5.The only thing champions have in common are their dreams.
6. It's not whether you get knocked down... it's whether you get back up.
7. A positive anything is better than a negative nothing.
8. It's none of my business what you think of me.
9. Don't tell me what you have done...show me what you can do.
10.The game is not over until I win.
11. No limits, no excuses, no ifs, no buts...just attitude.
12. The impossible is what no body can do until some body does it.
13. Obstacles are what you see when you take your eyes off your goals.

Unfortunately, we have institutions for education and knowledge but nothing for attitude. We learn it from either our mistakes or some body else's.

Being alone at home is giving me feeling of "house husband". I am alone today because Shashi has gone to Jaipur. This time is good for self introspection, planning and thinking about various issues. One thing I noticed these days is that one should use the available resources, be it Money, Time, Relationships or any other visible and invisible asset to its optimum level. whatever resources we have are not long lasting. They are limited in quantity and for limited period. Those who use to its optimum are successful and those who dont are loosers. It does not mean to exploit or use for illegitimate purposes, but only legitimately. Time goes, resources vaporises and we are left with repentness only. Neither resources nor time is going to wait or alert us. 

As I mentioned in my recent post, the decision making is very crucial in such circumstance and we need to understand the decision making tools and process carefully.

The gap of more than 20 days in writing blog marks the clear cut indication of lazy ness. Past three weeks have witnessed lot of travelling, cold weather and stress to some extent. The activities in finance sector are at its peak due to the year end approaching after a month. The finance market is too tight and most of the sectors are under performing. With shrinking margins and liquidity tightness, the demand of money has arisen suddenly.

In these days we partially got together with Nikita in Bangalore and Hitisha in Ahmedabad. I also did finish a small book "Yes or No" by Spencer Johnson. The book is written by the same author who wrote "Who moved my Cheese". A very useful book written in very short and story format but with full focus on teaching the techniques to use while taking decisions in life. The book is useful guide for better decisions. As per the book while taking decisions we should ask one practical question to head and one personal question to heart. The questions are:
1. Practical Question to Head:
" Am I meeting the real need, informing myself of options, and thinking it through?
2. Personal Question to Heart:
" Does my decisions show I am honest with myself, Trust my intuition, and Deserve better?

The books gives detailed analysis of the above questions and may be very helpful in taking better decisions. Decision taking is much easier after reading such kind of books and also it gives feel of some guilt on certain decision of life which were taken in haste and without giving proper thought before taking some decisions in past.
