हम बड़े हो गए।

हम बड़े हो गए।
हम बड़े हो गए।
मुस्कुराहट,तबस्सुम, हंसी, कहकहे
सब खो गए।
हम बड़े हो गए।
ज़िम्मेदारी मुसलसल निभाते रहे।
बोझ औरों का खुद ही उठाते रहे।
अपना दुख सोचकर रोये तन्हाई में।
महफिलों में मगर मुस्कुराते रहे।
कितने लोगों से अब मुख्तलिफ हो गए।
हम बड़े हो गए।
और कितनी मसाफत है बाकी अभी।
ज़िन्दगी की हरारत है बाकी अभी।
वो जो हमसे बड़े हैं सलामत रहें।
उन सभी की ज़रूरत है बाकी अभी।
जो थपक कर सुलाते थे,खुद सो गए।
हम बड़े हो गए।
जाने कब आयी,कब जवानी हुई।
खत्म होने को अब ज़िन्दगानी हुई
जो हक़ीक़त थी अब वो कहानी हुई।
मंज़िलें मिल गयीं हमसफर खो गए।
देखते देखते क्या से क्या हो गए।
हम बड़े हो गए।

Post script
-मत पूछना दोस्तों यह अशआर किसके हैं।
जो महसूस कर सके ये ख्यालात उसके हैं

10 THINGS THAT REQUIRE ZERO TALENT

How often do we equate success with talent? All the time. But the reality is, success isn’t created by talent alone. Just like we might see immense talent squandered, we also see underdogs unexpectedly overachieve. Here are 10 behaviors that we can always control that require zero talent yet have a huge impact on our success.

1. Being on time. Punctuality is a keystone habit that requires organization and planning ahead—both of which lead to greater success. Here’s a good primer on why being on time is important and how anyone can make it a habit.

2. Work ethic. This is the discipline of showing up consistently and making the best decisions that lead to peak performance. Even at the pinnacle of his career, basketball superstar Kobe Bryant’s work ethic was legendary. Kevin Durant recalls the message a veteran Kobe sent the younger players at Olympic Trials back in 2008, just after Durant’s first year in the league. The players were given a day off, but there was Kobe, the only veteran getting on the bus to go work out at a high school gym. “He made 50 shots at each spot around the 3-point line,” Durant recalls. “We just looked down there and said, man, he’s the best player in the league and he took a bus to a high school to get some work in. It’s that work ethic that Kobe embraced throughout his career to become one of the all-time greats. As Kobe said after getting drafted straight out of high school in 1996, “I don’t want (fans) to think I’m just a high school kid coming in here thinking the world owes me something. I’m going to go out there and I’m going to work.”

3. Effort. Few athletes worked as hard as major league pitcher John Smoltz, who is now in the Baseball Hall of Fame. As his agent, I saw him extend his career by years through sheer effort and commitment. He made up his mind to make changes along the way, like going from starter to closer, that kept him in the game as a valuable contributor to his team. Effort is a mindset as much as it is a behavior.

4. Body language. How you move and express yourself around others shapes who you are and how you are perceived. Anyone can improve, and here’s a TED talk that explains why and how.

5. Energy. Everyone has energy to devote to a goal, and the decision of how much to give. Be conscious about where yours goes.

6. Attitude. It’s up to you to keep going. No one else can decide that. A great attitude maximizes the talent that you do have and offsets what you lack.

7. Passion. Perhaps the single most important way each one of us can suffocate the fear that keeps us from peak performance.

8. Being coachable. Anyone can become a better listener, learn from feedback, and embrace the success of others.

9. Doing extra. Go the extra mile. I saw it all the time with the athletes I worked with. The ones who sustained their success were the ones who consistently worked at their craft beyond what was required. That extra work and preparation fosters confidence. We can all learn from this approach and exceed our own expectations.

10. Being prepared. Only you can give yourself the time and space to be as ready as you can be. Make it a habit, and you will make the most of your talent. There is great truth in the saying: Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.

Your Game Changer Takeaway

Remember that talent is never enough. The best of the best don’t rest on what they were born with—they dig down to get the most they can. Try these 10 things (or just one!) and over time it will pay off.

CCTV

Nothing is more common in life than unsuccessful people with talent.In my role as life coach/motivation speaker,I am often asked this.Why did I not succeed?

Is there any formula to success?What are my deficiencies?How do I find out where I lacked?

My answer is:focus a CCTV on yourself.Only,this is a different type of CCTV.

Here it goes:

1.C = COMMITMENT

2.C = CAPABILITY

3.T = TOOLS

4.V = VISION

Failure occurs at one or more than one deficiencies in above.

Am I DEFINITELY committed to the goal I wish to reach?How badly do I want it?Do I want it as badly as a man under water wants air?

Am I capable enough ?I want to sing like Kishore Kumar.I am desperately committed to it.But my voice would wake up the dead and make screeching tyres sound musical.I want to write the greatest life force novel after Atlas Shrugged.But MY knowledge of English language is class X level.Dead end.

Do I have the tools to accomplish my task?Iwant to start the great NGO for women empowerment.But my funds are not enough to hire a basic office.Or that there are no fellow volunteers.I want to be a great tax professional.But I do not have the case law software.Bye bye dreams.

And finally.Do I have the vision?The macro image of my goal,its scope,its impact,to boldly see myself going where no one has gone before?

You have the answer.
