Want Career Success? - Run towards FEAR

Inspiring Life Story:

The story is of the Zen master and the dogs in the temple, which is often been told and has a strong message that has changed lives..

The story goes that while visiting a little Himalayan kingdom, the master decided to visit the temple there.
As he walked in with his local guide through the temple gates, he saw two large, ferocious dogs chained to the iron grills at the entrance.

Their tongues were wagging, the saliva was dripping. And they were barking non-stop. Just the kind of sight that could instil fear in anybody's mind!
"Don't worry, master!" said the helpful guide. "I know they look really scary. But the chains are very strong, and there is no way the dogs can break free!"

The master continued to walk through the long courtyard, towards the main temple. Even as he tried to concentrate on the temple's history that the guide was narrating, he kept looking back at those dogs. And his ears seemed to be echoing with the noise of their barking.
And as he looked back one more time, he could not believe what he saw. The dogs had broken free from their chains, and were running towards him. Instantly, the master started to run too.

Directly towards the dogs! Yes, he began to run -- not away from the dogs, but towards them!
And guess what happened? The dogs were so surprised to see the master running towards them that they quietly turned and went back towards the gate!

Human beings often have a habit of creating fear in their mind, which basically stops and hold them back in in order to get successful in their respective careers. I would encouage everyone to get fearless while approaching to any living object in this world, as it can't hurt you until you allow.

An ideal example would be this 
In this movie, Bruce Wayne overcome his fear of bats and become a Batman and saves his city.


Note: Don't try the above formula with buses or metro as they are non-living things. If you let them kill you then they will surely kill you. No offense to Superheros. ;)

Hope you have a fearless day.

Be Fearless, Get Successful.

Inner Voice - Fear


Inner Voice – FEAR, your worst enemy. 


Fear is your own making and it is in your mind only. We’re prisoners of a non-existing threat of your own creation. Don’t be scared of it; face it and make it disappear.
True, it is the human nature to fear and be cautious. But most of the time, fear kills your zeal to take up an initiative for success. Dale Carnegie says fear leads to inaction, which turns many doubts and more fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. “If you want to conquer fear, do not sit at home just to brood about it. Go out and get busy.” 
Perhaps Mark Twain has better words, “Do the thing you fear the most and the death of fear is certain.” So, what we fear most must be your first target of attack.
Success does not come to those who make fear a constant part of their persona. Success goes to them who are fearless and undaunted in the face of failures and challenges. If Gandhi had made a fear a part of his character, India would have never got freedom. He was frail and weak but his courage and fearlessness and his feeble cry moved millions inside and outside the country.
And, if Neil Armstrong had been scared of the danger of going to and landing on moon, he would have never got the proud moment of making his joyous and triumphant cry, “A small step for a man, a giant leap for the mankind.”
Any success demands a great desire to eclipse the fear of failure. In other words of Bill Cosby, “ your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.”
It is not that one will succeed always. That should not stand as a problem. One who can bounce back and then goes to war fully equipped will surely have success in his bag. 

I hope this will help you to enhance your college experience or your day to day experience in life to achieve higher and valuable rewards in life.
