Understand what you want in life
If you do not read and understand, you may regret later.
This is only for private circulation not to be shared with others.
Foreword
This is not like other inspirational books. Those books say onlygeneral points need for our improvement. In spite of reading those
books, a normal person cannot use those points effectively to
improve his standard. Because when he tries to use, there may be a
lot of doubt unanswered. You cannot use or do effectively if you
have doubt.
This is an written on the basis of analytical made on how to avoid
failure, why we fail instead of having willingness to do progress inlife. It is very difficult to give all the reasons for our failure. A few
points are given based on some experience. After reading this,
based on your own experience understand the points and make
necessary changes as per the requirement of the situation.
YOU CAN IMPROVE YOUR LIFE ONLY THROUGHUNDERSTANDING WHAT DO YOU WANT IN LIFE (goal),
UNDERSTANDING SURROUNDINGS AND PEOPLE, (Good or bad)
AND POSITIVE THINKING IN YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND.

THIS IS TRUE. Only need is belief I Can I want. You become
what you think.
VARIOUS NEGATIVE THOUGHTS ENTERED, UNINVITED,
WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE, INTO SUBCONCIOUS MINDCAUSES FOR YOUR NEGATIVE THINKING AND
EXPRESSIONS.
Are you postponing taking action or doing something? Is it baseless
fear which makes you to think negatively or to postpone without any
valid reason?
Think about the result you want, you want higher salary, improve
your skills, education required and look for new job which provides
you higher salary. If you do not change the job, your salary will
remain same and difficult to give better education and life for your
family and children. If you want more living space, buy a big house.
If you do not take any action to buy a house or bigger house, your
comfort living with facilities are being lost. Think and take properaction. Strong will power and determination are required to take
necessary action.
Time runs very fast. You cannot get back the wasted time. You may
be a boy/ girl at the age of 15. You do not know how fast the time is
flying. After some years, when you look back, you may be at the age
of 51. So start to understand and act now.
If you want to improve your qualification, do it. If you want to
change job do it. What prevents you from taking proper action?
Understand the requirement and you take proper action.

Your determination, constant thinking, your effort and your action
only make it possible to get what you want.
Patience, perseverance, positive thinking, constant reminding
yourself of your progress and above all will power, determination totake action in the right direction are necessary.
If you stand at the feet of the mountain and looking at the peak of it,
you can never reach the peak. It means only thinking is not enough
but action is also required.
Difficulties may come in your way. You need not worry or fear for
it. They are temporary only. Think how to come out from such
difficulties. Why such difficulties have come to you? Instead of
worrying, think what you want to do in that situation. Use alternate
ways to overcome difficulties.
Others may criticize you. Dont fear for what others think and say
about you. Think what do you want or what is beneficial for you in
order to progress in life.
It is very important to know about the good or bad people and their
intention. A honey tongue, a heart of gall.
Mukh mein Ram bagal mein choori. Another proverb The wolf
cried when the sheep got drenched in rain. Crocodile tears.
his lips rain fruit, his heart within is on fire, a flattering speech
is honied poison, Friendship on his lips, hatred at heart
When he sees you, one word; when he does not see you, another.
One thing in his heart, another thing in his words.
All are not friends that speakone fair.

From the above proverb understand various types and nature of
people. These types of people want to destroy you still make you,
they care for you.
Only if you know about these people, you can effectively understandand can take decision whether you can believe them or not. You can
also understand how to manage the situation. Else you will be
cheated by them. You also learn, through observation, from them
how to speak with a honey in tongue.
Understand third persons good or bad intention i.e. read otherpersons mind. What is Reading other persons mind? It means
observing other persons carefully, the words they speak, how they
say, how they act (body language). This is very important in your
daily life to understand about the other persons intention.
When you come across useless people or bad people dont show your
anger at any time to anybody. At the same time, dont ignore them.
Say hello to them once in a while to get in touch with them. We
should also learn to speak with fruit and honey in our lips.
Have lot of smile in your face and honey in your tongue. Greet
People, say hello, namaskar. Lavishly Praise People whatever good
you see in them.
You must know a lot of tricks to handle the situation and the
different types of people; if you want to lie you have to say it to
pacify the people. Be sincere to you, to your family and focus on
7/28/2019 Improve Our Life Through Thinking
5/43
your progress and earn money in proper way either by doing proper
business or job in good organization which gives you better salary.
Initially if you are not able to enter into good business or reputed
organization, constantly try for it. Dont lose heart or give up yourtrying for it.
Nowadays in the competitive world, people give more importance to
money and forget to respect others. They become jealous on other
people who are well qualified and who have wealth. They, instead of
thinking and taking proper action to improve their status, indulge in
bad thinking and harm others, knowingly or unknowingly.
Dont waste time without understanding people nature. Be aware of
such persons and handle them carefully. You dont hurt those
people or criticize them.
We need to know how to handle such person and the situation well
for our favour without entering into unnecessary argument.
Nowadays, people, due to intolerance, become angry quickly and
harm others. It is therefore, highly important that you never showangry face or use words which hurt others. Use sweet words and
have lot of fruits and honey in your tongues.
You never know when they may be of help to you under different
situation in future.
You need to have some sort of understanding and light touch or
balanced relationship with them. Man is a social animal. Therefore,
you cannot live and do everything in isolation. We need people,
friends and relatives. Only thing be aware of their nature and do not
get cheated. It doesnt means to have to stay away from other
7/28/2019 Improve Our Life Through Thinking
6/43
people. Praise other people; take advantage from them as much as
possible.
In case your goal is not clear or not attainable due to some
circumstances. Be clear in what do you want and use alternategoals. Dont waste time years together.
Even after you understanding above facts, if you observe your own
thoughts and action, you may not follow it carefully due to comfort,
laziness or your negative habits already formed.
Please understand and make constant effort to improve yourself
every time and in every situation. Strong will power, determinationonly can help to overcome fear, difficulties, laziness and transform
you to do better things. Think good, positive and do good. Aware of
bad people and do not get cheated by them. Understand what is
good for you. Repeat good points.
Train your mind to think what you want; by constant practice you
can achieve it.

Introduction
All of us, no doubt, want to achieve something in our life. In spite of
our wish, we find it difficult in achieving success/goal in our life. It is
necessary to understand the reasons for such difficulties. Everybody is
7/28/2019 Improve Our Life Through Thinking
7/43
not fortunate enough to have good environment/facilities/properties that
are necessary for attaining our goals easily.
Dont blame or worry to have such small facilities available to you.
Somebody may not have minimum facilities for their living. Understandhow to use whatever small facilities/properties available to you to move
forward or progress.
There are many things necessary for our development. Without
knowing them and using them, we cannot make progress. Knowledge
and understanding of what is going on around us and taking action
accordingly are necessary.
Understand the reality of the world and people. Proper thinking and
proper action will take you to progress.
For e.g. If you find algebra difficult, you should not give up. If you
approach good tuition teacher, class teacher, google search and good
basic algebra books, you can easily learn by understanding the methods
and continuous practice.
At any time, any age you can learn new ideas and techniques through
practice. Willingness to take action, Perseverance, (determination) and
regular practices are required to send the message to your subconscious
mind so that you can use those ideas effectively and efficiently.
It is necessary for you to change, eliminate, your old, unwanted, baseless
fear. Baseless fear restricts your progress.
Know the value of time:
7/28/2019 Improve Our Life Through Thinking
8/43
First and foremost, understand the value of the time. Time is very
precious. Time lost cannot be recovered or come back. If you waste time
you are wasting or losing your life. By Procrastination, postponing
action to be taken, you are wasting time.
Every moment of our life is a golden moment. The door of progress and
development remain open for the person who knows to utilize and
make best use of these moments.
Face setbacks and obstacles boldly
When we face obstacles and setbacks while pursuing our dreams, many
of us experience anxieties, fears and are filled with self-doubt and we
question the viability of what we are doing.
We must have optimism, passion, commitment and above all focus on
what we want to do.
Understand how to use your setbacks to your benefit, to make your
product or service better, and to bring you closer to success.
Proper planning and completion of task within the time is veryimportant.
Understand your problem
7/28/2019 Improve Our Life Through Thinking
9/43
Please understand your problem and take proper action to solve it.
On the other hand, dont have worthless fears and beliefs, worthless
pursuits or passing moments carelessly; face depression anddisappointment on all spheres.
In our childhood, we want to do many things. We could not do or
achieve it because there were many mistakes, lacunas, misbelieve,
unawareness of goals and steps to follow, unawareness of our own
thought and attitude of other people. We are too sincere in our thought
and action to others. The other people are not sincere and notresponding or helpful to us in the same way.
The third persons dont want you to come up in life. They do false praise
in front of you. Later they may forget you and what they said to you. .
Try to observe and understand them what really they are.
Knowledge of handling job efficiently
We have to collect knowledge from others, books and surroundings. If
you do things without applying your knowledge i.e. proper application,
you can do it but not efficiently. Efficient application of knowledge is
how quickly you understand about the nature of things, job, what
method can be used to it, etc. Hard work is important at the same time
smart work is necessary. Delegate work to others and do impressivework. If you focus on how to work smartly you can do the job
efficiently. Have a lot of smile in your face and a honey tongue.
Nowadays technical knowledge (knowledge of how to work) is alone
not sufficient; we require soft skills to handle the people and job.
Understand what soft skills are. Use Google search.
7/28/2019 Improve Our Life Through Thinking
10/43
Reading Inspirational/Motivating Books
Read Inspirational books. They give better ideas for ideal circumstances.
But those ideas can be used to our benefit only when you know the
existence of bad side of the world, people and circumstances.
Understand and use good points suggested in those books.
Unless you have knowledge about the bad side/wrong side of the
world, people and circumstances, you cannot use good points
effectively.
Mantras to success written by Ved Mathur and Malti Mathur
published by Shri Radhey Prarabdh Smriti Sansthan, C-82, Ramdas
Marg, Tilak Nagar, Jaipur, (India) gives relatively good points and tell
us in simple way than other inspirational books how to transform
ourselves. Read it.
Train your mind to think and think positively
Opinion formed in your subconscious mind makes you to act in such
a way. Therefore, try to form correct opinion in your mind.
When you touch a hot match stick which was put off recently by
someone, you automatically take your hand away from it. Your
subconscious mind gives you necessary order to act. Therefore, you
need to have positive, good thoughts in your subconscious mind to
do things better. It becomes your habit to do better.
7/28/2019 Improve Our Life Through Thinking
11/43
Through repeated practice it becomes habit. Mediate - focus on
what do you want, regulate of your mind, control of bad and useless
thoughts are part of training the mind.
When you start learning typing, driving car you do not know about it.
You are learning and practicing it. After that, it becomes your habit and
you are doing it automatically. This is possible due to functioning of
your subconscious mind. Therefore, use positive good thoughts in your
difficult time for your progress in your life.
The main reason for not changing our old bad habits or belief:
Become slave for such thoughts,
Not ready to change your comfort,
Unaware of results,
Baseless fear and laziness.
It is necessary to change our habits for good.
Memory
Everything is easy to remember. One is to be interested to learn and
achieve something. Remember by connecting the related things
associated with it, you can easily memorize everything. For example,
School means: School Building, its location, name of the school, class
room, class teacher, headmaster, principal, co-student, School timings,
School bag, notebooks, books, subjects, I card, exam, marks, pencil, pen
etc. If you connect all these points you will get an essay.
In schools they used to give points, hints of some story and asked the
students to write essay by connecting those points. This gives practice
to use those related words and write sentence.

12/43
Not understanding Words and their meaning:
We use many words in daily life as a habit without knowing their
meaning or use. The word used to be appropriate. Learn and useappropriate words in daily life. Use Dictionary and understand word
meaning.
Patience
For example, a shopkeeper expects that his customer wants to buy what
he sells but not ready to show the thing patiently to the customer. Here,
the shop keeper wants to sell but have no patients to explain or show to
his customer. The shopkeeper knows the word patience but not
practicing it when required. He loses his client and sale.
We use word positive. Do you know the meaning?
Positive: attitude to see advantage, expect the best to happen.
Many people, in spite of having sufficient talent and qualification, do notprogress and succeeds in life because of their narrow outlook, not
focusing on your goal. Not only think but taking necessary action is
important.
Skill: We say that we have to develop skill. What is meant by skill?
Skill is ability to do things easily and efficiently. How the skill is
developed? Skill comes by way of thinking, by experience and by
observing other people.
Tactics: a method that you use to achieve something. Use various
methods which give good result for us.
7/28/2019 Improve Our Life Through Thinking
13/43
Tact: the ability to be careful about what you say or do, so that you do
not upset or embarrass other people.
Negative thoughts: The word itself indicates negative. It Express
meaning of no. The word negative `` shows dark side. It gives you
some fear, comfort for not taking action, idea of postponing, some lame
excuses for not taking action.
Negative thinking comes easily and uninvited. This is very dangerous. It
does not allow you to improve yourself or move forward to do better
things in your life.
Aware of people and their attitude:
Are your friends, relatives, co students, colleagues, really helps you in
your progress? Do they really want you to progress in your life?
A doctor only thinks of the profit he will get by the medicine he is
preparing, the sick person only wonders whether it will cure him or not.
Each thinks of his own interests.
Unawareness of people (friends, relatives, colleagues) their attitude,
intention, their behavior, their body language is also one of the
reasons for our failure.
Third persons, relatives, friends, may speak to you sweetly making
you to believe that they care for you but in reality they may not be
sincere. You have to identify them. Dont get cheated by them. Be
alert.
7/28/2019 Improve Our Life Through Thinking
14/43
We move with those people who are not interested in our
development. By coming into contact and listening to the advice of
bad people, you may limit or spoil your progress. When you realize
that you have moved such bad people, most of your time would have
passed or wasted.
Understand those bad people as quickly as possible by observation
of their speech and action, their body language, signaling, in order
to save you from them.
Third persons hide truth differently
There are various types of people. They speak differently. We need to
understand these different types, someone speak openly, some people
hide things or speak in roundabout way, and someone speak using sweet
words.
We need to understand these different types of speaking in order to
decide, what or how to reply, what we need to do or how to do, what
they say, why they say. We need to understand the meaning of theirwords, the method and manner of their saying (body language), the
signaling we get from their message, tone etc.
This is not for finding fault with them. This is required for us to
understand what the intention of the other person whether they
continuously give wrong ideas through their sweet speech. If you do not
understand this quickly, you may suffer for believing them and not
taking any action. Your expected thing or incident may not happen.
There is a proverb A honey tongue, a heart of gall (anger)
7/28/2019 Improve Our Life Through Thinking
15/43
If you understand the signal from the thirdpersons speech and tone, you
could have avoided disappointment.
Understand the signal here. For a function at her daughters place, she
invited her parents.
They send a bowl or cup through one of the other daughters before
the function. In normal situation, they can bring the bowl when they
come for the function. The signal here is they are not interested in
coming to attend the function. If she doesnt understand the signal, it is
her mistake. This is an example. If she continues to believe such
parents who always not sincere in explaining their daughter, she has to
get only disappointment from their parents.
Understand the signals, body language, and tone of their telling, method
of expression, what and how they say every time.
The above proverb indicates that when some people have poison in the
bottom of the tongue; they have hone at the tip of their tongue? The
meaning of the proverb is that there are people who have bad intentions
and yet speak good words to make you to believe. Dont believe them
get cheated.
We need to know about people around us in house & Office. We need to
identify/understand what type of people they are, whether they are
helpful, good, believable or bad, cunning, unhelpful, jealous. Be aware
of Calculating friends/relatives. Calculating friends/relatives are those
people they join you only for their gain. We need to understand such
people before we get cheated by them.
Are they supporting and enhancing your life or are they making
mockery out of you?
Understand people nature:
7/28/2019 Improve Our Life Through Thinking
16/43
Nowadays people are with very narrow outlook and do not have broad
outlook. They take advantage of each and every situation. If you ask a
help from relatives and friends, they immediately take advantage of your
situation.
If you ask financial help, they treat you as slaves or may take undue
advantage; they may slowly interfere in your family life. You cannot do
anything independently. Be aware of people nature. There are good
people also. Man is a social animal. We sometime may need help of
others but at the same time, aware of their nature is necessary to avoid
very bad situation in your life.
Early Understanding
Understand the need of good education at early age, learning good
behavior, learn to speak well, think positively, understanding
surroundings and bad, good and helpful people/friends/relatives.
Handling situations.
Science and math are important at school level
Education with Science and mathematics up to high school level (+2) is
very important. This is important for the child to become doctor,
engineer. Engineer can learn study MBA and become top level officials
in bank and any other organization.
The child who studies other subjects than science as main subjects in
high schools later if they want to study science, the education system
doesnt permit. Therefore, at the early class or in 9, 10, +2, study
Science Subjects and later you can, if you want, can take commerce
7/28/2019 Improve Our Life Through Thinking
17/43
subjects. So the child may feel frustrated and loose interest/opportunity
and find it difficult to pursue interested subjects.
Consistent marks around 90 and more than 90 need to be scored from
Nursery. This is possible.
Understand basics from teacher, parents, and from good coaching
persons preferably from retired teacher. Refer to good books and use
Google searches. Create interest in the child. Dont force them.
Make the child to understand the importance of education and consistent
scoring of high marks/rank students. The child should easily get
admission in colleges, get job in the best organization and become the
best entrepreneur.
Mathematics & Skill Development
The objectives and aims of syllabus are to acquire knowledge and
critical understanding, to visualize basic concepts, terms, principles,Symbols and mastery of underlying processes and skills, to apply the
knowledge and skills acquired to solve problems, to develop positive
attitude to think, analyze and to develop interest in the subject by
participating in related competitions, observance of small family norms,
removal of social barriers, elimination of biases, to develop reverence
and respect towards people and society.
Understand the quality of School, Tuition center
The purpose of sending our child to these institutions is to learn quality
education.
7/28/2019 Improve Our Life Through Thinking
18/43
If the quality is not there, there is no point in continuing education in the
same school. We need to change the school or tuition centre
immediately if we find them not good. We need money. If you have
money, change immediately without hesitation. If you do not havesufficient money you cannot change or find it difficult to change.
Therefore, understand or enquire about the quality of the School and
then send the child to that school.
Some schools and tuition centers (Sachdeva) attract students through
frequent advertisements but standard or quality teaching is not offered to
students. They cheat students and parents. Be aware of such institutions.
Extra Curricular Activities: Curriculum means subjects that are taught
by a School or College. Activities other than subjects, like sports,
music, dance, handicrafts, tailoring, participating in competition, NCC,
etc are called Extracurricular activities. Children are to be encouraged to
learn or join extracurricular activities.
Too much pressure is not to be given for the children. They should beencouraged to learn. Explain , make them to understand and thereby
encourage them to learn.
Nowadays, children should also understand about the nature of good or
bad friends. Proper guidance is required. Understand what they say
about their friends.
Notice and understand your own feelings & behaviours
What type of feelings we have? Good or bad feelings. Understand the
reason.
7/28/2019 Improve Our Life Through Thinking
19/43
We need to have all good feelings, thinking and actions but should be
used as per the necessity of the circumstances and people.
Understanding what do you want is called Goal Setting.
Be clear about what you wanted and define it (want to become
entrepreneur, want more wealth, higher position in job, good salary,
Children education, children marriage etc.) Focus on those matters in
order to get what you wanted.
We need to have main Goal and Temporary/flexible Goal. Main Goal
the bigger picture and temporary goals are the steps to achieve the main
goal.
Work/Action:
After realizing what do you want in every stage of life, take necessary
steps to achieve these goals. Be active. Dont be in your comfort zone,
lazy. Things will not come to you. You have to go outside and search
for it. Plan for it.
Think only in terms of your progress:
In todays world people are cunning and thinking their own benefit.
In this circumstance, if we are sincere to others. We only get
cheated by others.
Constantly think to improve your education/knowledge, technical
and soft skills, good behaviors, etc. in order to progress in your life.
7/28/2019 Improve Our Life Through Thinking
20/43
If you think in terms of what you want to achieve, the outcome or
result of your action will be good.
Understand third person
It is very important to know about the good or bad people and their
intention. Identify them among your relatives, friends, colleagues
and others wherever you meet them.
Some of the proverbs are given:
A honey tongue, a heart of gall.
Mukh mein Ram bagal mein choori.
The wolf cried when the sheep got drenched in rain. Crocodile
tears.
His lips rain fruit, his heart within is on fire,
Friendship on his lips, hatred at heart
When he sees you, one word; when he does not see you, another.
One thing in his heart, speaks another thing in his words.
All are not friends that speak one fair.
From the above proverb understand various types and nature of
people. These types of people want to destroy you still make you,
they care for you.
7/28/2019 Improve Our Life Through Thinking
21/43
We may be caring, respecting, helping others sincerely in heart, words
and action. The other person may not reciprocate the same. They may
simply express words with fruits and honey in their tongue. Identify
them understand them even within your relatives, friends and colleagues.Do not get angry with them. Dont expect the other person to behave/act
in the same way we expect them.
No sincere friendship with other people who are cunning and jealous.
Do not try to correct the other person.
Without understanding other persons nature if you try to correct them,
he/she may ignore your good deeds, activities, helps, good nature etc.
and they may brand you as arrogant instead of correcting themselves.
Constantly try to understand how to avoid bad circumstances and to
keep good relation/friendship - focusing on our goal.
Dont criticize people. Generally do not tell about bad qualities of a
person to the other person. They may collect information and inform
them, their boss in order to earn points. Avoid gossiping, speaking ill of
others. If possible, appreciate others.
What is important for you may not be important for others? They may
not understand you and your needs. Others may not think the same way
you are thinking. Dont lose patience. Dont get angry in that situation.
Be calm and polite. Use alternate ways to get the work done by
influencing them, if possible and necessary.
7/28/2019 Improve Our Life Through Thinking
22/43
Adjustment, cooperation with people in the house and workplace are
necessary. Understand what is expected from us by our seniors/others.
Do this only to the minimum required to save your position. Alwaysfocus on what you want from them and how to use them. Speak a lot of
your own good work whenever necessary.
Except blood relations, with others, friendship and relations dont be
sincere show only outward appreciation, show that you are caring for
them, according to the circumstance.
It doesnt means to have to get angry and speak impolitely. We have to
be alert always by understanding the message beyond their speech and
action. Analyze; understand their words and body language. Do not get
cheated or allowed to take advantage of your polite nature.
Good impression:
Creating good impression is always important by dressing neatly
and speaking well.
If any guests come to your cabin in the office or home, treat and
speak them well.
Give good impression that you are sincere, nice to people, speak well
and be friendly. Praise people as required in order to get your work
done. You also remember to speak with fruits and honey in your
tongue. Praise others for their good manners, help that they have
done to you.
7/28/2019 Improve Our Life Through Thinking
23/43
Only speak but dont be sincere in our action towards our colleague,
friends and relatives.
If possible and you have time, it is not wrong to help others. Only
avoid sincerity and commitment to others who are useless to us.
Listening
Listening means not just merely hearing what others say or suggest
to you. Listen attentively and think what the other person tells you.
If it is useful use it or ignore it politely.
Speak to others
By speaking to others, you can learn many ideas/suggestions.
Understand their body languages i.e. body movements. From that
body movement you can understand their sincerity in their speech
and action.
When you speak to others say something on topic, useless topic,
stories what others are interested. Dont give valuable suggestions.
If others find fault in your way of talking, dont get irritated.
Please correct your ways if they are useful for you.
Give attention to your tone, normal voice
While speaking to others, dont show anger or irritation in your
voice even when you are right and they are wrong. Dont raise your
voice or shout. Dont keep your face angry. Continue to say your
7/28/2019 Improve Our Life Through Thinking
24/43
view only in your low or normal voice. This requires, strong will
power, understanding and practice.
Sweetly spoken words with honey in your tongue have their ownadvantage in making you a great personality.
Speak in such a way that it may delight you and others as well
To make your personality, use your wisdom and the willingness to cast
aside or shed our own lower nature (hat rate, anger, jealous and sex
urge and align, support ourselves with our whole heart to the higher
power (positive attitude, positive action, use of good and sweet words,respect, good behavior).
Feeling and behaviour.
Feelings are non verbal, what you think inside your mind is your
feeling; it is hidden in you.
Behaviour is outward expression. What you feel inside your mind is
expressed as your behavior. Understand this. Therefore, feeling
good your inside is important. What you feel is expressed as
outward action. If you feel good you can express and do well.
False opinion and baseless fear.
Due to circumstances or some reasons, we form certain wrong opinion
ourselves. The fear may not be true. These false opinion and baseless
fear restricts our progress. When another person clears the exam with
7/28/2019 Improve Our Life Through Thinking
25/43
distinction, we pass the examination with average marks. Why? We
need to correct and rectify .You need to have interest to learn,
understand the basics from teacher or books, belief that you can do
better, and practice.
Good behaviors are: how to read social situations, how to manage
emotions, and how to solve problems appropriately. If you can learn to
master these three tasks, you will be well on your way to functioning
successfully.
Control:
Control wavering mind in order to improve concentration. Focus on
what do you want in life. Focus on your work.
Anger and irritation are your enemies. It needs to be controlled.
Anger comes due to displeasure. Displeasure arises when the
expected things do not happen or a person is not doing things or
behaves as expected. Anger is temporary you do not make it big by
issue responding unfavourably.
Control tongue
Control tongue means say only what to say for good, dont say
harsh words. A person who can exercise control over his tongue, he
alone can make the right use of his eyes and ears. It has been rightly said
that after making any wrong statement due to its madness the tongue
rests in the mouth but the cheek has to suffer a slap. If you are bitter,
people will spit you; it means they will ignore or avoid you.

Over reaction to a small or minor issue is very dangerous. Over reaction
is to be avoided. Find out amicable solutions always.
We turn a minor issue into a major issue by exaggerating something way
out of proportion.
Life always brings its daily problems. Some are big, some are small.
Some of them are to be addressed or solved and some of them are to be
dismissed.
One Pundit who supposed to teach religious aspects and respect to
others, himself behaved rudely after her daughters marriage. Instead of
making simple statement take care of your luggage, he used unwanted
annoying words if the luggage are lost, I am not responsible. Whyshould he use such annoying words? Even under this circumstance, we
should not get irritated and react to his annoying statement.
Its more about how you handle the situation. You do not have control
over their behavior; you can only control your own.

observation.
7/28/2019 Improve Our Life Through Thinking
35/43
Dont merely observe a person. Observe with interest in order to learn about
his/her nature. Observe what other people are doing and how they are doing,
7/28/2019 Improve Our Life Through Thinking
36/43
how they are behaving etc.
Ask question yourself: Whether the other person is listening to what you said,
whether appreciate or discard your view, whether they hide matter from you,
why they reject your views, whether you have to change your view, whether
your reply is convincing. What to say and how to present the matter to them?Whether your tone is to be changed?
Your way of expression- whether smiling or sad according to the situation.

bend is necessary. Similarly, if you follow truth, it may not help you. We
have to change our ideas depending on the situation. Telling fabricated
stories, telling lies, deviation in your way of doing, are necessary in order to
get benefit and progress in our life. People and circumstances are forcing you.
Please understand this. Therefore, dont be a straight line. Bend or curve line
is also required. It means adjustment.

Thorough preparationsCommunication SkillsThe first aspect is one's power of expression. In a group discussion, a
candidate has to talk effectively so that he is able to convince others. For
convincing, one has to speak forcefully and at the same time create an impact
by his knowledge of the subject. A candidate who is successful in holding the
attention of the audience creates a positive impact.It is necessary that you
should be precise and clear.
7/28/2019 Improve Our Life Through Thinking
38/43
Your knowledge on a given subject, your precision and clarity of thought are
the things that are evaluated. Irrelevant talks lead you nowhere. You should
speak as much as necessary, neither more nor less. Group discussions are not
debating stages.
They look for your ability to react on what other participants say. Hence, it is
necessary that you listen carefully to others and then react or proceed to add
some more points. Your behavior in the group is also put to test to judge
whether you are a loner or can work in a group.
You should be able to convey your thoughts satisfactorily and convincingly
before a group of people. Confidence and level headedness in doing so isnecessary. These add value to your presentation.
Knowledge and Ideas Regarding a Given Subject
Knowledge of the subject under discussion and clarity of ideas are important.
Knowledge comes from consistent reading on various topics ranging from
science and technology to politics.
In-depth knowledge makes one confident and enthusiastic and this in turn,
makes one sound convincing and confident.
Leadership and Coordinating CapabilitiesThe basic aim of a group discussion is to judge a candidate's leadership
qualities.
A candidate should display tactfulness, skill, understanding and knowledge on
varied topics, enterprise, forcefulness and other leadership qualities to
motivate and influence other candidates who may be almost equally
competent.
Exchange of ThoughtsA group discussion is an exchange of thoughts and ideas among members of a
group. These discussions are held for selecting personnel in organizations
where there is a high level of competition.
7/28/2019 Improve Our Life Through Thinking

The purpose is to get an idea about candidates in a short time and make
assessments about their skills, which normally cannot be evaluated in an
interview. These skills may be team membership, leadership skills, listening
and articulation skills.
Meetings or Group Discussion:
Prepare a note on your contributions to the discussion, comprehension of the
main idea, the rapport you strike, patience, assertion, accommodation,
amenability, etc. Body language and eye contact too are important points
which are to be considered. .
Addressing the Group as a WholeIn a group discussion it is not necessary to address anyone by name. Even
otherwise you may not know everyone's names. It better to address the group
as a whole.
Needless to add, as for the interview, attend the group discussion in formal
dress.
Confidence and coolness while presenting your viewpoint are of help. See that
you do not keep repeating a point. Do not use more words than necessary. Do
not be superfluous. Try to be specific. Do not exaggerate.
Laziness is the first enemy
Dont be laziness. It means you are postponing the work, study, etc. to do it
later saying some lame excuses. Plan and do them as per schedule as much as
possible. Take necessary medicines, tablet for fever, headache, etc. whiletraveling. You may not get them at the new place. It may be town, city or
village. A particular medicine may not be in stock of that medical shop
Similarly, you have to pay attention and take every steps in your life for your
progress.

Not encashing our knowledge and skill: We have to encash that is
converting our ideas, knowledge and skills into cash. It means proper usage o
our knowledge and skills to get more money. Instead of using for our ownbenefit, we suggest or teach to others for no use.
Proverb The child who weeps gets the milk. It means if you do not ask for
it you cannot get it. If you have knowledge and skill, you are unable to get
better salary. It means you are lagging something. You have to beat your
own trumpet politely. It means praising yourself politely. Draw othersattention that you have done it. Tell your boss that you need better salary
stating your skill or creating sympathy etc. Think your own circumstances. I
nothing works in your favour, change for a better job where you get better
salary.
Best Dramebaz:
A dramebaz is a person who plays role in drama. The same person plays
different roles in various dramas. Similarly, Life is a drama. We have to use
well our roles in different situations. A daughter of a parent gets married and
becomes daughter in law to other parent (boys parent). She has to play both
the roles well. After getting married, she has to show the same love and
affection to husband and his parents since she has to live with them from now.
If she doesnt understand, the life will be miserable. Understand your role and
play well. The best dramebaz gets name, becomes famous person and liked by
all.

politely with greetings. Praise others for the good quality they posses, help
and good work done by them. Use solace, supportive words and say yes or
positive words while speaking. Dont show anger at any cost.

friends and relatives. You must have a balanced ideas and relations.
If you find fault for each and everything you cannot have any friends and
relatives. Some sort of adjustments and cooperation are required. You neednot go to frequent visit to their places but occasional visits are important
depending upon their needs for you. From your side you try to have good a
good relation with third persons.
Dont give feelings to them that you are ignoring them. Please understand
you need people but only thing is that dont believe them blindly and get
cheated.
Occasional visits to their places and giving gift to them are important. Due to
laziness or for your convenience dont give lame excuses or justify your
belief. Please have good contact and relation with people, you may require
their company at times of need.
7/28/2019 Improve Our Life Through Thinking
42/43
In case of need you ask for help and understand people nature. Sometimes
they may not really be able to help you. So immediately dont jump to
conclusion, they are not helping and they are bad. Even under this
circumstance do not ignore them totally.
Dont hold or form wrong opinion about your friends, colleague and relatives.
We need to respect others. Avoid only too much dependency, sincerity or
complaining.
Review
Instead of allowing ourselves to become depressed and defeated, we use the
setback to review our goal. If we discover a mistake that we made, we correct
the mistake and press forward.
Conclusion:
Think positively; solve your problems by using alternate methods or ways
to do things better and for your progress in life.
At the same time, it is necessary to understand bad, cunning people and
their evil thoughts. There are people who have bad intentions and yet speak
good words to make you believe them. Please tackle; manage or deal withsuch bad people or the situation in order to make progress in your life.
Positive and useful to be stored in your subconscious mind through the
