Divine wisdom

At this point before understanding the true nature of divine wisdom it is important to know as to what exactly is the root cause of the manifestation of sorrow and strife? Actually at the root level all creatures are blissful (Ananda) in nature. Thus it is clear that a definite cause exists which creates sorrow, pain, anguish etc. This too has been dealt with in YOGAVASISHTHA:

THE TIME TO ACT

THE TIME TO ACT

by Jim Rohn

Engaging in genuine discipline requires that you develop the ability to take action. You don’t need to be hasty if it isn’t required, but you don’t want to lose much time either. Here’s the time to act: when the idea is hot and the emotion is strong.

Let’s say you would like to build your library. If that is a strong desire for you, what you’ve got to do is get the first book. Then get the second book.Take action as soon as possible, before… Continue

YOUR AUTOMATIC PILOT TO GOAL ACHIEVEMENT BY DENIS WAITLEY

Every living organism has a built-in autopilot to help it achieve its goal, which is, in very basic terms, to live. In more primitive forms of life, to live simply means physical survival for both the individual and the species. This built-in mechanism or instinct in animals is limited to finding food and shelter, avoiding or overcoming enemies and procreation to ensure the continuation of the line.

Humans have intelligence and emotional and spiritual needs and capabilities, which… Continue

ACCIDENTAL GROWTH VERSUS PURPOSEFUL GROWTH

ACCIDENTAL GROWTH VERSUS PURPOSEFUL GROWTH

by John C. Maxwell

In 1940 two brothers, Dick and Mac McDonald, started McDonald’s Barbeque Restaurant in San Bernardino, Calif. Typical of the drive-ins of its time, McDonald’s offered an expansive menu from which customers could order and then be serviced by carhops. Through time, the brothers noticed a trend in their sales. A small number of items on the menu accounted for the bulk of their restaurant’s profits.

Struck by… Continue

RESOLVING CONFLICT

RESOLVING CONFLICT

by Les Brown

I’ve done a lot of research on the topic of conflict resolution in past years and here are a few tips I’ve come up with for resolving conflict in your workplace and professional life:

Don’t be afraid of conflict.

Too many of us become agitated when we encounter conflict or disagreement out of concern and fear. It’s odd when you think about it, because conflict is a part of nature, a part of life. Unless you are a hermit, odds… Continue

Industrial Society Destroys Mind and Environment

The link between Mind and Social / Environmental-Issues.

The fast-paced, consumerist lifestyle of Industrial Society is causing exponential rise in psychological problems besides destroying the environment. All issues are interlinked. Our Minds cannot be peaceful when attention-spans are down to nanoseconds, microseconds and milliseconds. Our Minds cannot be peaceful if we destroy Nature.

MARRIAGE

When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I've got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes.

Suddenly I didn't know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a… Continue

WINNING

“Winning isn’t everything, but making the effort to win is.” —Denis Waitley

A FEW SALES CLOSING TACTICS: TAKING A NEW LOOK AT OLD WAYS

A FEW SALES CLOSING TACTICS: TAKING A NEW LOOK AT OLD WAYS

by Jeffrey Gitomer

“Jeffrey, how do you close?” I get asked that question more than any other. (“Jeffrey, why is your hair falling out?” is a close second.)

I keep giving the same answer: Don’t close the sale, assume the sale. The assumptive position is the strongest selling strategy in the world. By definition you believe you will make every sale you attempt.

It sounds simple. It is simple, but… Continue
