Emotional Equations

"A set of simple equations to guide you through life".
This is the promise of the book and the author Chip Conley has fulfilled his promise. This book gives you a hard time especially if you are not patient enough and not paying enough attention to the the equations and how can you use them for your benefit.

Couple of equations I liked and would like to use them as my light post are:

• Happiness= Wanting what you have/Having what you want
• Flow=skill/challenge
• Calling=Pleasure/Pain
• Anxiety= UncertainityX powerlessness

To understand how you can use these equations you will need to read the book and it is good read. As I read through it, I could understand the anxiety and dilemma of a entrepreneur and I am sure that it will help me one day when I become one. :)

I admire the idea of simplifying the emotions using equations and play with them to become more happy and take control of life.

I will refer to these equations when in need and it will help you too to guide you in your difficult times.

Awkward Questions!!

Santa noticed that Banta was looking depressed, and asked what was wrong.

"Well," said Banta, "I ran afoul of one of those awkward questions women ask. Now I'm in deep trouble at home."

"What kind of question?" asked Santa.

"My wife asked me if I would still love her when she gets old, fat and wrinkly."

"That's easy," said Santa. "You just say 'Of course I will.'"

"Yeah," said Banta, "That's what I did, except I said 'Of course I DO...'

Why are Goals Important?

On the best sunny day, the most powerful magnifying glass will not light paper if you keep moving the glass. But if you focus and hold it, the paper will light up. That is the power of concentration.

A man was traveling and stopped at an intersection. He asked an elderly man, "Where does this road take me?" The elderly person asked, "Where do you want to go?" The man replied, "I don't know." The elderly person said, "Then take any road. What difference does it make?"

How true. When we don't know where we are going, any road will take us there.

Suppose you have all the football eleven players, enthusiastically ready to play the game, all charged up, and then someone took the goal post away. What would happen to the game? There is nothing left. How do you keep score? How do you know you have arrived?

Enthusiasm without direction is like wildfire and leads to frustration. Goals give a sense of direction. Would you sit in a train or a plane without knowing where it was going? The obvious answer is no. Then why do people go through life without having any goals?

Project 5: "Fake it until you make it"

Surprised to see that the Bangalore TM club has taken effort to upload my speech. Thank you.

This is my project 5 and objectives are to improve body language and stage presence. Here I talk about my childhood fear of dog. This fear is well know to all Bangaloreans for the fact that we face this menace at every nook and corner of the city.

Hope the speech drives you with a clear take away message.
You may provide your comments and suggestions.
