Life is a parade of complexity which without efforts, seeded in time, cannot be demystified. Every mind begins in state of tabularasa, yet not all ends as such. This gives a clue that even if one decides not to achieve anything, one ends up only to achieve nothing. Whether you accept it or not, there are factors of life that affect your input and output in life. As we take on this journey to the exploration of the factors of life, the only way to be carried along is to have an unbiased mindset. Most of the time you thrive in some things, yet in some others, you do not. All your efforts could be nothing if not well articulated and considered appropriate. The man who is given ten hours to cut down a tree must choose to decide the best ways to carry out the task. The possibilities are: he may dissipate all his energy in the function and become tired at the end; he may actualize the function in less than ten hours; more so, he may become a victim of circumstance, probably, on...

Any one of them could change the course of his life overnight.   What is defeat? Nothing but education, nothing but the first step to do something better. We learn wisdom fro...

"People are not lazy. They simply have impotent goals—that is, goals that don't inspire them." —Anthony Robbins Goal setting will do wonders in your life only if you are able to set your goals right and pursue them without relenting or giving up . I have good news for you, “ If you have made mistakes, there is always another chance for you. You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing we call failure is not the falling down, but the staying down” were the words of Mary Pickford  Goal-setting is a powerful technique for helping you develop a solid foundation for future planning and organization. By knowing what you want to achieve in life, you may know where you want to concentrate and what to improve.

For instance, you may want to attend a major university. First, you need to do well ...
