You have great Potential!

You have great Potential!

If you are interested in creating great things in your work or life, please focus on the things which are explained below...

I'm not telling some imaginary stories or fictions, presenting facts. Here is the awards link which I have received for my contributions in Corporate! [Click to see: My Awards] All my awards are unexpected, because I have not done things to get awards. I have done as I was experiencing joy by doing it. [No force, No Passion, just a Joy!]

Every individual is born with great potential and possibilities. Due to bad surroundings, environment, and people. Either you are demotivated or wrongly motivated.

Many a times you need someone to tell you, about your capacity, about your potential. Later you attempt and get success. If you are self-motivated and believe in yourself? You can create wonders. Let me explain these 4 real time stories:

Story 1: Magic of thinking big

This is taken from Preface of book: The Magic of thinking Big, written by David Schwartz. He motivated me to read the 360 pages book after reading this story..

Several years ago, I witnessed an exceptionally impressive sales meeting. The vice president in charge of marketing for this company was tremendously excited. He wanted to drive home a point. He had with him on the platform the leading representative in the organization, a very ordinary-looking fellow, who earned in the year just ended just a little under $60,000. The earnings of other representatives averaged $12,000.

The executive challenged the group. Here is what he said: I want you to take a good look at Harry. Look at him! Now, what's Harry got that the rest of you haven't? Harry earned five times the average, but is Harry five times smarter? No, not according to our personnel tests. I checked. They show he’s about average in that department.

And did Harry work five times harder than you fellows? No-not according to the reports. In fact, he took more time off than most of you.

Did Harry have a better territory? Again, I've got to say no. The accounts averaged about the same. Did Harry have more education? Better health? Again, no. Harry is about as average as an average guy could be except for one thing.

The difference between Harry and the rest of you, said the vice president, "the difference is that Harry thought five times bigger."

Then the executive proceeded to show that success is determined not so much by the size of one's brain as it is by the size of one’s thinking. That is Magic of Thinking Big!

Story 2: 480 test cases executed in a day

In the year 2010/11, I was working as Sr. QA Engineer. My manager assigned some tasks by sharing one Excel file with Test Cases. I examined and started executing test cases written in that excel. It was a task to certify travel insurance application with and without airlines bookings. Using the Mainframe terminal, I need to execute them and after the execution, I need to collect the output of each test case and save it in the same excel as a proof.

After receiving that task, I decided to complete that on the same day, having known that it takes more than 8 hours’ time.

I rarely stretch my work hours or I complete my tasks within 8 hours. Since work was more on that day, I stretched 20 to 30 minutes extra and skipped one of my tea breaks. Completed 480 test cases execution in a day, sent an updated excel report to my manager. Next day morning, my manager came to my desk and she was in shock. She asked me how you completed that? It was estimated to complete in 4 to 5 days. I told her, as I decided to complete it in a day, so I did it.

Normal Estimation for that task: 4 to 5 days, which was designed and defined by French colleagues. [counterparts] Initial days there (French colleagues) 8 hours estimation, I used to take 12 to 14 hours to complete. Later days, I broke their estimation with my potential. Their 8 hours task, I used to complete in 4 to 6 hours. 

Sometimes work and estimations doesn’t matter, what we decide, that matters!

Story 3: Delivery of Automation Project.

This happened in one of my previous office. I was performing a QA Management role. There was a complaint from the past 6 to 7 months on an Automation project which was not delivered. My director explained to me about the project, its criticality and resource issues. When I joined that organization, I was occupied in understanding products, teams and client. Weekdays I didn't get time to look into the automation project. 

One weekend I spent time developing an automation framework (Using Java, Selenium, Maven) and automated 8 test cases of one product and demoed to the team. Given initial days mentoring, it helped my team on their automation problems. We were able to deliver automation of API (2 projects) and GUI (5 small projects) within 4 months. No change in team, no new automation resource, just my dream and determination, it made me see those results and delivery. Off-course my team's tremendous cooperation, efforts and dedication helped in that success. 

By demonstrating that, we won one more project from the same client. Trust me it was not that easy [First time we are experimenting GUI, API integration with Allure reports, Jenkins Email compatibility and so on]. I made my team to understand their potential and capabilities. They proved it!

Story 4: 500 sit-ups within an hour

During my college days, in the hostel, I did 500 sit-ups. It was a challenge with friends and I successfully completed by giving a few minutes gap for every 100 sit-ups. [in-fact I was having 1-week calf and muscle pain in later days] Now I can correlate Mohammad Ali sit-ups which are explained in Arnold's video. Stop having plan B. Stop doubting yourself, it's dangerous. From plan B you are cutting yourself from the success.  Reference Video: Arnold Schwarzenegger This Speech Broke The Internet AND Most Inspiring Speech- It Changed My Life. 

Last Tequila shot:

In the year 2017, I visited Himalayas. I completed the trucking summit of 15,700 feet above sea level. My friend who invited me is a professional trekker asked me to practice and get ready for the summit. Before 15 days of the Trek, I started 1-hour walking practice, in Girinagar Swami Vivekananda park, Bengaluru. My friend was laughing, we are going for such a big event, you are practicing in a small park. He told me it's not enough for the summit. I told him, that is more than enough, I know my inner potential.

I'm not a professional trekker, that was my first trek experience.

Finally, we started climbing the Himalayas, it was more difficult than what I imagined, but I decided to complete it. I did it. (Detailed story I will explain in my future blog, it is very interesting and mysterious). One of our professional trekkers was disqualified before the last day of the summit, but I did it.  Click to see my Trek Summit Certificate

Remember, your thoughts have great powers, use them consciously and correctly to experience your real potential!

Hindu Sanskrit scripts says: "Aham Brahmasmi" This is one of the main Mahavakyas from Upanishads. It translates to 'I am Brahma' or 'I am divine'. Like God you can also create mysteries. 

Unfortunately, most of humans have not experienced their full potential. Here's what Swami Vivekananda says about human potential:

Never say, 'No', never say, 'I cannot', for you are infinite. Even time and space are  nothing compared with your nature. You can do anything and everything, you are almighty.

If you look back on your own achievements, there are so many mysteries you witnessed in your life. You might have considered them as coincident or luck. Remember, nothing is coincident in this universe, everything is a perfectly designed incident. To understand these facts, increase your awareness and enhance your consciousness.

Nowadays people are busy in their own personal interests. So, don't wait for someone to motivate you. Take in charge of yourself, drive your life, win your dreams. You have great potential!

Medicine kills more than the diseases

Medicine kills more than the diseases

What scientific and technological development have we achieved today? Earlier days we had one or two medical stores per town, five to ten medical stores per district. Now every house has one medical store.

Reason to all this is; we are moving from sane to insane. In the name of advancement, we are sacrificing human health. As Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev said; people are sacrificing their health to upgrade the world economic health.

We have most foolish definition for the health issues. Diseases are born out of bad weather, bad food, polluted air, unhealthy water, and so on. If those are true and that is causing health issues, all the people who lived in that city should get all health issues. If you take an example of Bengaluru city, I can show you more than hundred people who are 80+ years age and taking no medicine and living healthy life.

How come these people are healthy, they are also eating what others eat, drinking water, what others drink, breathing air what others breath. They are living in a same weather condition what others living in. If you investigate on this you will find amazing facts or differences in their life style.

These 80+ aged people are still healthy and living without any medicine, is because they have taken this life as easy as possible Life is easy. Why do we make it so hard? | Jon Jandai | TEDxDoiSuthep. They are living life with lots of fun and non-serious way.

Other people aged 30+ or 40+ years already suffering with more than one health issue, this is because they have taken life so seriously. How to be cool and calm in life? Watch this: Don't Take Life Seriously - Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev

Now a days people in 30s are getting diseases, it's almost same kind of diseases which were notified earlier at the age 70s or 80s.

As D.V.Gundappa said life is like a pond, one should learn to swim on top layers of it, to enjoy the life. People who go deep into the pond and disturb the bottom of the pond will definitely get all mud and dirt. To enjoy life, they must learn to be the in top layers of life.

Another reason for all health issues is; people eat everything they get, here I'm not speaking on food items. I'm speaking on outside environmental effects and influences.

Let me explain with an example: if you go to hotel, what you eat? The food you liked? Or all the food they have cooked in the hotel? You eat what you like. Whereas when you go outside, you see hundred different people and their behaviours, you and your mind/emotions react to all the nonsense which is happening in your surroundings. Why you take your surroundings so seriously, why other person should act and behave the way you wanted? Never ever expect that others should live the way you like.

It's impossible! you know why? It's because, in your family; if you go to restaurant, each one of you order different food items. How come with 10 million population in cities like Bengaluru, people will behave the way you want?

Instead of feeling angry, anxiety and stressed towards all you don't like, just accept the fact that each individual is unique and they behave based on their parenting, culture, education, and environmental effects. Who are you to change them? You are unable to change your own family member on their small act and behaviours? Than how you can change the public?

Your peace is disturbed by your surroundings. It means you are eating what you don't want. You are eating everything that is happening in your surroundings or in office. Like hotel you must eat what you liked it, instead of everything which is available in streets/offices. This unhealthy mental eating causes intelligence indigestion(also refer: Brain Pollution) which leads to many health issues.

According to Helsinki Businessmen Study, conducted in Finland, people who are taking regular health check-ups are suffering with more health issues and less life expectancy. Whereas people who are not having regular health check-ups are living healthy life with more life expectancy.

They also figured out 4 times more death rate in the people who are having regular health check-ups.

Here is the best illustration for our medical stupidity: Giraffe lives only about 25 years and have the highest blood pressure in the animal kingdom, elephant lives about 70 years they have lower blood pressure, to experiment this; let's give some drugs to Giraffe to lower the blood pressure, this cases problem to Giraffe to lift the head high, if they don't lift their head, they can't get the leaves of the tree, so what science will do they grow genetically modified trees which will not grow high.

This is how our medical world functions today, in the name of curing one disease, they are introducing 100 different health issues, later they are supplying drugs for those 100 hundred health issues, this gives 1000 side effects on health.

Health of animals are self-regulating no one measures BP, respiratory, and so on. Whereas most intelligent being, humans are regulated by medicine industry.

Human being is easier to trap. If you create false news or fear, they all run towards doctors and medical stores to save themselves.

Power of Subconscious Mind has great capacity to do wonders on our health, I have my friends who cured BP, Diabetes, Skin issues, removed kidney stones(without surgery), and many other seasonal health issues by just doing affirmations suggested in the following books: The Power of Your Subconscious Mind and You are the Placebo

Stop being victim of the medical industry! If you want come out of this medical industry traps and live your life drug free? Please read my other blog: Why You Get Disease, which has all psychological reasons and suggestion for all our health issues.

I recommend you to watch these videos till end, to benefit more on health and vaccinations. You have time to go to doctor, you have time to wait in queue at hospital and medical stores, you don’t have time to watch this life changing video and read books? I really feel sad about…

Bless your enemies

Bless your enemies

In 9 different ways, your enemies helped for your growth and success. So treat your enemies as God sent Angels (women) or Mangels (men). Many times you ignore your loved ones, their suggestions and their ideas as well. So, God will create or introduce some enemies to align you with your life's purpose, because enemies are the right people to trigger and ignite a fire in you.

How your enemies help you for your success and growth?!

1. They are watching your mistake and help to keep you in right path.

Many times there is a possibility that you do mistakes and correct them quickly, you become more ALERT and watch your actions, since you know that your enemies are watching you. So they are the root cause for your PERFECTION.

2. They insult you, this indirectly triggers to use your full potential.

If you are surrounded by people who are pricing you, sooner or later you become biggest fool or loser. Because you always think you are great, you put little or no effort to learn new things; you ruin your carrier and life. Whereas enemies are not like that, they are the one who find faults in every action of yours and in every situation trying to insult you for one or the other reason. This makes you to use your full POTENTIAL.

History has demonstrated that the most notable winners usually encountered heartbreaking obstacles before they triumphed. They won because they refused to become discouraged by their defeats. – B.C. Forbes.

3. They gossip bad things on you, to check and increase your tolerance level.

Usually when you are two steps ahead of your enemies, they start gossiping about you. Every person has some level of tolerance; your enemies increase your tolerance level, by gossiping bad things about you. Your height of TOLERANCE defines your success.

When You Fly High, People Will Throw Stones At You. Don’t Look Down. Just Fly Higher So The Stones Won’t Reach You. - Chetan Bhagat

4. They create obstacles to strengthen your skills and energy.

Here are the ways one can become stronger:

• When you do physical exercise, your body becomes stronger.
• When you do meditation, your mind becomes stronger.
• When you get problems and obstacles, you enhance your SKILLS and energy. Enemies are the one who strengthen your skill and energy by doing this favor to you - keep on creating more obstacles in your way.

5. They backstab you to increase your consciousness into 360 degrees.

Usually human focuses 90 degrees i.e. only the front view. These lovely enemies try from back side; to trap you, to drag you, to pull you down.

The backstabbers are introduced by your enemies, they look like friends and act like friends. Let them continue their way of doing, don't reveal to them who they are. Reason; you may possibly lose backstabbers and their help.

What you need to do to overcome with backstabbing is… you need to start focusing 360 degrees. Your enemies are the one who make you more AWARE.

6. They miss guide and disturb you to increase your concentration and focus on your goals.

Enemies always try disturbing you; their idea is to prevent you to walk towards your goals. When they disturb, you become more and more CONSCIOUS and you keep more focus and attention towards your goals.

7. They try creating fear in you to increase your courageousness.

This is one great gift of your enemies, it’s like this; when you get virus, your body create antivirus to fight against it. Human’s immunity is built based on the attacks of antibodies. Similarly when they start fearing you, you find the ways to be courageous and fight back. If you look at success stories, most of the cases; successful people are COURAGEOUS people.

8. They dedicate body, mind and money, to your benefits and growth.

Your character is built by your enemies; they are the one, continuously watching every good and bad action of you. They keep you in AWAKEN state. They spend their part of life to make you successful, even some times; your level of growth depends on your enemies dedication.

No one can invest this level of dedication and time for your success. Because they spend their precious time, money, health, and so on, to make you SUCCESSFUL.

9. Enemies act like a life guards: 

You know, your friends know, your relatives know who are your enemies, so anything happens to you (natural or intentional), most possibly your enemies are the first suspect. It’s a world known fact and in most of the cases it's proved. So they pray God to keep you in good condition. Sometimes they guard you too, reason: if a person gets an issue, first blame goes to enemies, all their stories and acts get exposed. Hence they don't take that risk. So they are your real well wishers.

May be that's why we have saying; “Known enemies are better than unknown friends”.

Be grateful to your enemies, as Santh Kabir said “Build a temple in front of your house for your enemies; they are the one cleaning you, without using soap or shampoo”.

Have stronger enemies to become stronger, have big enemies to grow bigger. It's a good idea to have “Enemies Day” like ‘Friendship Day’. Reason; many great successes and life changing events happen through your enemies. So, it’s good to have Enemies Day, it helps you to show some gratitude towards your beloved enemies.

Coming back to blog…Now you understand about why some strange things happen in your life? To know more facts and results on this subject please watch the below videos:
