Motivational Monk

Recently just when I was surfing on the web I came across the book 'Die empty' -by Todd Henry. The title itself is unique and made me curious about what this book is all about. I have gone through the book and I found the concept quite amazing. I will try to summarize the book in short which I gain. The writer did his best to motivate people to pour out their ideas and potential energies in their communities and turn them into something useful before it is too late. The most beautiful of what he said in his book is that: "Do not go to your grave and you carry inside you the best that you have, always choose to die empty." Die empty is a new expression and unique in its own way, at first glance you will think it is normal. But I was surprised to know the true meaning of this new expression. It is to "die empty" of all the goodness that is within you. Deliver it before you leave this world. If you have knowledge give it out. If you have an idea ...

Let's start with the example of the founder of Tesla Elon Musk. He  has made more than 100 patents effectively “open source.” Goes against all “common sense.” But his actions speak louder than any words. Waste no words on a man who dislikes you. Actions will impress him more. Some people think they can talk their way out of any situation, and for a time they may be right But if someone already dislikes you, either because of a simple misunderstanding or an error in judgment on your part, he or she will be especially difficult to persuade with words. Their emotions will always get in the way of their ability to think logically and reasonably. Consistent actions over a sustained period of time, however, will usually persuade even the most devout skeptic. If you constantly demonstrate that you are a generous, kind, and caring person, it will be very hard for even your enemies to dislike you. In any case, you will become a better person for having made the effort.

Somewhere between “ 8 toffees for 1 rupee” and “1 toffee for 8 rupees”, we grew up! Somewhere between “stealing chocolate from our sister” and “Buying chocolate for her children”, we grew up! Somewhere between “Just five more mins Maa” and “Pressing the snooze button”, we grew up! Somewhere between “Crying out loud just to get what we want” and “Holding our tears when we are broken inside”, we grew up! Somewhere between “I want to grow up” and “I want to be a child again”, we grew up! Somewhere between “Let's meet and plan” and “Let's plan and meet”, we grew up! Somewhere between "Being afraid of our parents" and "Praying for our parents" we finally grew up And as we grew up, we realize; How silently, our lives have changed.. :smiley:

Who is your mentor? Every great achiever is inspired by a great mentor. Mentorship is the best relationship you can't afford not to have. Every successful person and those with a positive mindset, are being mentored at some point. I firmly believe success is predicated upon having a mentor. The Five E's of a Mentor: #Experience: Receiving personal mentorship and guidance from someone who’s been where you're trying to go will be an invaluable experience for you. #Expediting the process of development: A mentor is equipped to accelerate the time and shorten the duration of where you currently are to where you are trying to be. Mentors expedite the journey by providing feedback and real-time accountability. #Evaluating your progress and focusing on strategies: A mentor challenges you to become your best. #Elevating the positive environment: When we come across challenges, we can lose momentum. Mentors are there to help bring priorities back into focus by ke...
