Gordon Banks, considered the greatest goal keeper that ever lived. Who is famous for his 'Pele save'. The super goal keeper who won the world cup in 1966 by not even conceding a goal until the semi-finals (that too was a penalty).

Did you know that during his two trial games, he let in 15 goals?

When asked how he felt about it, he just said,

The Power of Powerful Memories

When friends get together and we start talking about times when something funny happened to you and within minutes and most times, within seconds, we all will be laughing our heads off.

Our brains are trained to react to images as if they are real, even when it is not. The brain does not know the difference between imagination and reality. It only knows how to respond.

"I am the greatest; I said that even before I was...."
- Muhammad Ali

Everyone knows he is the greatest boxer.

You have to repeat and imagine you being great at what you do and it will become a reality.

Go for it. No half-hearted effort, hald-hearted measures.
Go for it.
Give it 100%
Be unbelievably dedicated.
Go for it.

What you say is what you get.

Go for it.

Can you make the things happen that need to happen?

What separates you from your success?
Many people think it is luck, being at the right place at the right time, who you know up the ladder of success. The truthful answer is that none of the above.

What then separates you from your success.What keeps it at a distant that you yearn for but cannot yet touch it?

Answer this question truthfully.
Can you make the things happen that need to happen?

You make this particular change and you will see the difference in your life. Things will start to change for the better. Think about it. You decide and then every thing begins to change for the better.What is stopping you from doing the things that you already know need to be done?

As for me, this is what I believe.
Everyone is good. The purpose of life is to make that goodness into greatness.

Fly High

Did you know that aerodynamically the bumble bee should not be able to fly? Its wings are too small to support its body weight. But, it still flies. Do you know why?The bumble bee does not know that it can’t fly.

There will always be people around you who rationally logically and sometimes aggressively tell you that you can’t fly to achieve your aim. At moments like that you must remember the bumble bee. Fly High.

Sometimes the odds are against you. Situations might seem rather impossible to overcome. At moments like that you must remember the bumble bee. Fly High.

Sometimes you do not get the attention or recognition that you deserve. Sometimes people will go out of their way to highlight the impossibility of the conditions you are in. At moments like that you must remember the bumble bee. Fly High.

Your true power is within you. Fly High.

Communication

Why is it so that when some people communicate, everyone listens and enjoy but when others communicate, people shut their mind to them?

The simple answer is when you communicate you must not fixate on the outcome by insisting on being right.

Trying to be impressive is not impressive.

Listen to the tone as well as the content of the other person with an open mind and heart.

Communicate with honesty tempered with compassion and mutual respect.

The power of routine

Does your household have a routine?

Routine allows students to blossom in a positive way. A regular routine will normalise chores, meals, tv-time, homework and allowing fun-time.

Disorganize families tend to sow habits of disorganization into the children.

Set a time-table for a week. Time to go to school, what activities to do after school, plans for the weekend, organizing meals etc.

Make the time-table a success and you will see everyone has more free-time to have fun and to nurture themselves.

What is character?

How will we behave and respond to a situation even if no one is watching us. The way we behave is determining by what we think of ourselves first and foremost.

Ask yourself, when you are alone taking a ride in the bus or taxi, when you catch yourself being alone, ask yourself, what do you think of yourself.

If we have impressed in our mind and heart that we are a great person with a wonderful personality then the way we behave will be like that of a great person with a wonderful personality.

When you see your friends misbehave or act rude, vulgar and even at times violent remember that they are behaving like that because they have impressed in their heart and mind that they are not a great person with a wonderful personality.

What is your character?

Balance of energy

3. Play a game, do things that brings joy to you.

4. Avoid unnecessary/excessive talking.

Energy and you

Every day every one of us wakes up with so much energy. We use that energy in our studies and activities throughout the day. At the end of the day we go to sleep to recharge again. The cycle continues every day in our life.

How is it then some are successful and some just manage a above average performance?

The answer is easy.
To find out who is successful you just have to look at those who are able to balance the energy throughout the day.

The beauty of Education

Henri Matisse, when he was a young painter visited his master Renoir, a renowned painter who was suffering from arthritis. While watching the old painter paint, he realised that every brush stroke Henri made, made him cry with agony. He would cringe with pain and then paint another stroke and feel the torturing razor cut like pain through his finger. He will paint again and again.

Matisse asked his master, “You have achieved so much, why do you still punish yourself by painting. The agony you go through is too much.”

Renoir smiled and said, “The pain I suffer and will pass but the beauty I create will remain forever.”

When you are pursing your studies, remember that though it may be agonising, it is not equivalent to the suffering of Renoir. The beauty of education is that it will never leave but stay with you forever.

Good student

A student asked Confucius on what makes a good student.

Confucius replied, “A person who listens to what I say and adapts my teaching to his current life, avoiding any blind obedience. A person who finds a job that buys him dignity. A person who leaves a lasting impression but does not try to be impressive."
