Confidence and Believe

Yesterday I wrote some poems and articles about Indian Economy and Corruption. I will share them after a couple of weeks. So, I am back with a new post. We were on a success path. The theory continues…

When you are about to start a new firm or about to join a firm, a lot of people tell you about the advantages and disadvantages of them. Some people give you great ideas and some people feel jealous; so, they will give you the harmful ideas. But at the end it’s up to you - you are the one who will take decision. Only you can judge your business. But I will tell you to think ahead of your time. It’s one of the best advices I have ever received from my manager (Nigel). I loved him for that. He often says some inspirational stuff.

Confidence and dedication are the essential things for success. These two things tell your mind to move ahead and find ways and things for success. And the basic things I always noticed in my life that if you believe you will succeed, others will believe you automatically. I don’t know what it is but it’s magic, pure magic.

After talking to lot of people I came to know that lot of people don’t believe in the power of confidence. Those people who are confident that they can push the mountains, they surely can and those who think they can’t, they don’t. From my perspective confidence and believe are the ultimate keys. We are inching closer to the Jupiter. We can reach there. No doubt about that. We can create buildings on mars because of believe. You can’t do anything if you are not confident about it. Believe in the thing between all inventions. Thomas Edison failed for more than 1000 times but in the end, he did it. Just believe in your success and you will see a new world.

I really observe people all the time. I show them that I am feeling low and I am disturbed and I am frustrated from my life and they always tell me the negative and positive aspects. They always tell me the truth. It’s magic. When you open your heart to people - they will tell you the truth about you. I listen to them very carefully and then analyze the stuff in my mind. Sometimes they say very correct stuff and very unpredictable stuff, which you don’t even think in your worst dreams.

Those who don’t believe in themselves always have the theory of “I will try but I don’t think I can do this”. Moral of the statement is very simple – if you don’t believe in yourself, you can’t do anything. Napoleon always said, “If you doubt, you will lose and if you think about win, you will win.”

I am not a good student. I am not exceptional. I was a bad student throughout my academic career. I can’t learn anything because I am suffering from a disease. I can’t speak fluent English or Hindi either. Actually I am a less than average boy. I have only one thing - I believe in myself. I believe in whatever I do. I believe that I can write well. I believe that I can write good articles. I believe that I can change someone’s life by my writing and talking to him/her. I believe that I am the best writer in the world. That’s my success theory.

I respect all the great leaders and innovators. I respect Bill Gates, Jack Welch, Henry Ford, Napoleon & Others. But I will tell you one thing. Respects all but fear no one. Learn from them. Listen to them carefully. Note down their speech. Observe them but don’t worship them. Think about yourself. Think that one day you will be ahead of them. Think that you can beat them up. Believe that you can reach at the top and you will. If you think you can’t be a CEO then you can’t. Every work is important. Always work like a scientist and do work like you have to invent something. Don’t feel shy in front of others. If you see yourself as a loser, others will see the same thing. If you see yourself as a confident person, others will see the same. Be important for yourself.

A person’s success depends on his / her thoughts. Think big, dream big. Think you can do bigger things and work hard for it. Start your day today with the belief and confidence that you can do it. You can be successful. If you believe that you can become a great personality, you can. Can is the word of power, energy and believe.

You know all the greatest personalities of the world are not very intelligent, sharp and talented. They only have one thing in common. They knew that they can. They believe that they can. So just be yourself. Do your best and god will do the rest. I am ending this one with the quotation of Mahatma Gandhi. He always said that, “Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I can not do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire that capacity to do it. Even if I may not have it at the beginning.”

So, friends – always think success, you will succeed. Do what is necessary, learn what is necessary. Develop yourself, dream big, imagine great things and think success and you will see the progress. You will see the magic of believe. Cheers!

What should a new website needs to do?

Every website should be design to attract the users and connect the visitors so that, they can come again to visit the same. It does not matter if your websites’ main objective is to create brand awareness, to generate revenues or to sell your products online.

It’s very much important to keep the most basic and important (necessary) information of your website on above your fold, which is the imaginary line at the end of your web screen. This is to make sure that when the user is navigating your website s/he is sure of the purpose of the website even before scrolling the page down.

Thousands of products can not make a good website but a variety of things makes a website likeable. I know some websites are not like Google (search focused) or Facebook (UGC focused) but they should look from the users’ point of view. The homepage should be clean and cool. Do not paste zillions of things in the website as it does not look good. The content should be genuine. It can increase or decrease the productivity of the website.

Always make sure to keep a final check on all the links (hyper-links) included in your website to see if they are working alright and linking to the particular link or page that is required. The correct destination if is not reached can be a major disaster to all your hard work and it can affect the productivity of the website in different ways (which a website administrator is well aware of).

Lastly, make sure the time for the launch of the website is the right one because after that you will be needed to be more dedicated to the maintenance of the website and its corrections/updates, so you always need to be ready to serve.

Dreams Unlimited

Recently I have started a new assignment with my friend. I am feeling responsible & started managing things my way. It is a new start and we guys co-founded a dot com enterprise. Now my work is to brand the product & do the market research and analysis of the product and competitors & all that silly things on search engines.

I am trying some new ways to improve the product and techniques to promote the brand. As you know (now-a-days) internet marketing is a big business. Everybody is promoting their websites. I am trying to entertain every Indian student. It is a big opportunity. We have excellent competitors, I am not denying it but nobody have the 100% gain every time. The chance of improvement will always be there. Google did it the same thing. They improved the searching with better technique and results. We only need to think about a better solution and correct plan so that we will win the race.

People around me always say that you are running very fast. They say - do not be very fast, run slow and steady but I am not Bill Gates and I do not want to. I love what I do and I love doing opposite things. That is what I call life (my friend) & I liked it in a challenging way. I never did the same thing as others do. I want to do something different. I just want to be myself. I want to take new challenges. I am learning fast and learning for better. My theory is very simple. Practice makes a man perfect and continuous practice makes a man perfectionist. Always try to defeat yourself. Nobody is better than you. I believe in this theory.

In the past one year I learned one great thing. Always say good things about third person. I learned that you should always say good and happening words for the third person. If you are in talk with a person and discussing about some third person so you better speak better and positive words for him. e.g. he is a good person. Remind one thing that after a period of time he will get to know what has been said about him. Do not use derogatory words for him. It will harm you in the long run. I am not saying that you need to behave like a diplomat but "do not be evil".

Be focused on your goal. Sometimes we are looking up to different companies and their budgets and forget our goals. Few weeks back when I was working with a social networking website, I checked Orkut and Facebook always go for the new stuff. Sometimes we behave like a salesman. I heard from lots of salesmen that I had a hiccup with the customer and after arguing for one hour I won the fight. In the marketing business product selling is the most important thing; not the fight. That is the big thing. 90% people do not think like that.

In a job environment where you are the boss and managing a dozen people, your prime focus should be utilizing the full quality of the team. You are not there to scream and shout at your team members. Its the big thing. A manager cant be a manager without the support of their team members.

The last thing I want to say is never underestimate yourself. Check your market value. Don't think that you are not valuable or less valuable. Think about your positive points and stick to it. Think about the solution; not problem. Problem will always be there. Remind one thing - you are not the person you think you are, you are better than that.

Success Theory

Last weekend I wrote about success – Success theory in my words. So, what is success? For me success means winning. I always play for win. Success is the goal of everyone’s life. Success means some wonderful things and some good things. It means richness, excellent salary package, big house, holidays, security and all that stuff which you want from your life. Success always has a good taste when you are famous and you are very much satisfied with you life. Success means – you can do anything for your beloved, your friends and your well wishers.

Everybody in this world wants success. Persons or animals – both want success. Every person wants happiness from his / her life. Nobody wants third class life. Everybody wants to look like movie stars and always dream about the same life. Is it possible? For me, it is. It is definitely possible. Have you heard that proverb - “if you have faith, you can climb mountains”. Just think about it. Just think that you can and you will see that you can do anything. It’s just like that. Ninety percent people in the world don’t know what they can do. They just follow others; always. That’s why they are always the same – followers. Only one or two in a million think that they can lead. They can push hard. Napoleon, Hitler and Alexander came from that extraordinary and elite league. Even Bill Gates, Jack Welch and Richard Branson are in the same league.

Lots of people thinks that I am mad. You can’t push a mountain. They said – it is not possible. But I guess they don’t know what belief is. But for me, if you believe you can, you are right and if you believe you can’t, you are right; again.

It’s absolutely true that you can’t do that with just thinking. You have to work really hard for it. You can’t be a millionaire with just thinking about the stuff. You really need to push yourself with the super energy. If you give your hundred percent, you can conquer the world. You can show the world that what metal you are made of.

My Success theory is very simple. Just remember two words “I can”. Whenever u want to do anything, just talk to your soul and say “I believe in me. I can do it. I am telling you, it will give me immense power, energy and innovative mind and you will see the difference in your attitude and work. Just try it once. I bet – you will love it.

Daily thousands of people searching jobs, appearing for interviews, starting new jobs. They want to be successful. But ninety five percent of them are not sure that you can make it to the top league. Result – they don’t. That’s the main problem with my generation. If you think it is impossible for you to make it to the top then you can’t search for the magic stairs. But some are really very good. They think they can and they know they can. Some employees always do the same work for life, no creativity factor at all but some always looking for better opportunities, better things and better responsibilities. I have read somewhere that a leader’s main objective is not to make followers but to make more leaders.

Feel Good Theory

Now, this post is about feeling good. It's my feel good theory. This is the basic rule of success. Just feel it, save it to your mind and learn it. It's a rule. Actually, success depends upon other peoples' work and other peoples' thinking about you. The main obstacle between you and your success is the co-operation and believe of others.

A manager can't be a manager without the support of junior level executives. I heard somewhere that in past decades people succeed of their own. They are the true winners. But, let me tell you one thing. Now-a-days, its not possible to win alone. Today's rule is very simple. Either a person will support you or he won't and for support you need to do only one thing. Think well about people, feel good about people. If you think well about people, they will support you, they will like you. It's true. Just try it.

Yesterday, I was in a conference with my previous organizations' CTO. He shared some of his experiences with me. He said, feel good factor is good. Top managers looking for the techno-savvy and workaholic guys but if you are good with people then half of your problems are solved.

Be famous. Successful people always have the plan to get famous and popular among employers. I've read somewhere that some great personalities have the written plan too. It's interesting; actually very much interesting. I am telling you all that. Just go through it…

(1) Remember the name of your colleagues. If you don't do that, people can think that you don't have any interest in them.
(2) Be humorous. Don't be boring. Talk like a hilarious and humorous person.
(3) Be cool and calm. It will help you always. Cool and calm mind can do anything. Even in the difficult situation he wont let his papers down.
(4) Don't be outspoken. Always show eagerness to learn. Don't behave like you know all.
(5) Be interesting and mysterious; people will love you.
(6) Don't be egoistic. Just cut it out from your personality.
(7) Be supportive to your subordinates.
(8 ) Start liking people. Its good for you and good for them too.
(9) Always congratulate people for their success and achievements and also support them in the tough time.
(10) Give people the spiritual power and they start liking you.

Just read all one more time and be happy always. Cheers!

The Innovators Mantra

Here I am with my new post. This one is about me. In my entire life I did many mistakes. I'd rather say that I've learned a lot from them. I failed everywhere. Schooling, college, job, interviews and love and I tried my best all the time. From my experiences, I learned that in your life every time you say yes to something that is unimportant. If you say no to something, that is important. You can’t say yes all the time. Know yourself; discover yourself. Know your priorities; know your goal and reach for it. You can’t be all things to all people.


I learned to pressurize myself. I've read somewhere that “great achievements often happen when your backs are up against the wall.” Accept challenges. There will always be a new day, a new work, and a new opportunity. You only need to grab it. Pressurize yourself because pressure can enhance your ability and performance. Easy times don’t make anyone better. Easy time make yourself less efficient and slower.


I'd suggest to look forward to take challenges and take risk. Move out from your safe zone. Staying in the safe zone never made anyone bigger. Do the stuff by yourself. Success never came to anyone normal. I'm a technology buff so, I can tell you about the techno people. Look at Sergey Brin, Larry Page, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs & Tim Berners Lee and even Mark Zuckerberg. They are great people. Be innovative, be yourself and believe in yourself. Don’t be diplomatic in your approach. I'd suggest to dominate though.


You can become genius like all of them. It’s very simple. Try to be number one in your domain. Don’t try to make it big in all areas. Focus on the stuff with devotion, you will see the result. Know what you are really great at. Focus on solutions. Problems will always be there; so think about solution. Be a leader. The main motto of a leader is not creating followers but to make more leaders. I'm not saying that any person can do the work of a CEO. I've never said that. But, always be clear about your vision. Good things never happen. You have to create good things. Life is not so easy. Be a visionary and innovative person and take risk. Leave the crowd. The only place you reach if you follow the crowd is the exit door; the blank black exit door. Try to improve things and practice your skills. Practice makes a person stronger. Practice makes anyone perfect and perfection is a good thing.


If you do above mentioned things then people might called you mad or crazy. But remember one thing – every thinker, every visionary person, every great leader was initially laughed at.

Social Media Startups

Now-a-days it’s the start-up season in India. More than 20+ dot com/media firms have started their businesses in India in the past 2 years. Actually, in a country like ours' social media start-ups are quite a good idea because of internet savvy population and loads of people are looking forward to (using) it. As of now, reports shows that user growth in Asia is 450%.

In start-ups you’ve more to say and more to innovate right from the beginning of your job. You’ll be experimenting more and taking risks and it’ll help you in the long run. In start-ups you’ll learn more in six to nine months than you’ll do in your degree or working with already established company because of freedom to innovate. You’ll be more efficient and productive and your best (result) will come naturally.

I’ve no specific idea about social media and market analysis. I’m just a student in the beginning phase. I just did some Google research for couple of hours and now I proudly say that I’m an expert. LOL! Google’s making me dumb.

Actually, I also worked with couple of start-ups so I can tell you that it’s fun to work with start-ups rather than bigger brands and one of the start-up companies I’ve worked in the past is now one of the best online media companies in the India. Don’t just go with the brand. People like me and you build brands. Look at Yahoo, Amazon, Google, Facebook, Twitter and other great start-ups in the world. They started with very minimal amount and small man power and now they are big. In conclusion, social media is great and changing our lives. Be the part of the change. Cheers!
