Thank You Note for you all !!!

Less than 30 hours are left for us to welcome the upcoming new year of 2019 while I'm writing this post. The whole year was such an amazing journey for me on personal and professional level. I have learned so many things from all those surrounding me. Not only from circumstance but also from people. But one of the main medium to learn was, is and will be for a long time is my Blog. ViK's Views. When I restarted writing I never imagined such a great success. Of course I am not a professional blogger so the success is limited. But for me it's huge. And credit goes to all of you. My blog's readers. I always believe in having gratitude towards good things in my life. Hence I want to take this opportunity and say that, I am grateful to all of you for reading my thoughts. Registering your feedback without any hesitation. And of course continuous appreciation through your whatsapp, facebook, insta comments. Your support and belief in me has lead me this far in blo...

ACCEPT YOUR THOUGHTS FIRST !!!!

Image
YES ! You read it right. The title is telling you to accept your thoughts first. Yes. You. Because most of the time you can hear your thoughts but you are not listening to them. Rather we all are doing this for years. Because we are wired to get influenced by our surroundings. We are wired to get affected by others around us. We are wired that way. And many a times it creates confusion. In today's information overload that confusion has become Chaos.  And in this chaos we are losing ourselves. We are being influenced by the information. We are being influenced by the data. And we are being influenced by the competition the huge data or information has created for us.  And that has lead us to a point where we are losing our grip on ourselves. And that is where we are losing our thoughts. We are becoming so cautious about being in the race all the time. Otherwise we think we may get out of the race. We are becoming so cautious that we need to be trendy. Otherwise we...

LEARN, ADAPT, MAKE MISTAKES & RECTIFY !!!

Image
Life is about growing ourselves and if possibles others around us also. But the main motto is to grow no matter what situation you are in. But then the question is how to do it?  Answer is as simple as this. LEARN, ADAPT, MAKE MISTAKES AND REPEAT the process. Learning: At this stage, we must observe the things. They could be our surroundings, situations, problems, people and any other things under the sun. These observation lead us to learn new things. Learning new things may result into deleting old thoughts, habits, mindsets etc. Could be partially, could be fully !!! Adapt: At this stage one must use his/her learning practically. And when I say use it means adapt, adjust to the situation. In other words, mould yourself according to your findings of observations you made. Make Mistakes: No one. I mean no one wants to make mistakes. But we all agree to one thing, that is we always end up making mistakes all the time. And to be honest mistakes are good. First r...

EMPOWER YOURSELF... WITHIN YOU !!!

Image
Every weekend like regular Indian family we were watching reality shows. While talking to my parents between the commercials I came across one thing. They were comparing two shows anchors. One of them is their favorite and other one is not. The reason they gave me was very interesting, and that clicked today's topic. Their reason was one of the anchor is not doing his job with full potential. In other words his words, body language lacks compassion. Because he's not doing it from within. We could see that he is nervous, less confident while interacting even though he's been anchoring for so many episodes. And the other one was totally reverse. Relaxed, confident, friendly. This is generally what we observe about people on daily basis especially when we are working men/women. Because we come across many people. But the question is why does people show signs of nervousness, lack of confidence etc. Or in simple words, why couldn't people achieve what they are supposed...

GRATITUDE... FOUNDATION OF EVERYTHING CONSTRUCTIVE

Image
You must have noticed that many a times I start my blogs with saying Thank You. Some like it. Some may say, please get it on point quickly. Jokes apart, but I do have this practice of feeling the gratitude.And not only feeling but also has a  HABIT  to express it more often. Now, why do I have this habit of expressing my gratitude. The answer is very simple. The act of expressing your gratitude attracts many such situations where you feel good. This happens because showing gratitude means you are thankful for the moment, people, food or anything you have exprienced. This feeling actually sends a positive vibe through your act. Those who believe in positive vibes, generally say thank you more often. Because they are aware of the fact that, being thankful towards something attracts more of such situations again in our life. Gratitude plays very important role in our life. Gratitude works as a magnet which attracts happy, positive situations. Which results into we as ...

MY POINT OF VIEW ON...VIEW POINTS

Image
Hi everyone. Your comments are making my thinking process and writing activity better and better, day by day. I am grateful for that. A BIG THANK YOU. Your feedback are very valuable. One of the feedback came from my college friend and our class representative Karan Chaudhari. And that suggestion is our today’s topic. View Points. We all are unique in certain ways. So does our view points. And they do reflect our personality to others. As you can see, the above image can clarify what I wants to say. They both have right points from their perspectives. But still, it seems that they are having some funny confusion over who is right. In other way we can say that they both are judging each others through their respective point of views. Hence we can say that this is general situation for all of us. Where we find ourselves having difference of opinions which may be true on their separate grounds with explanations. But still we have them. Those who are mature enough and are aware about ...

GOOD, BETTER AND THE BEST...

Image
Hello. Wassup !! Your support to my blogs is great !! Right now I am working on a new concept for my blog, "Guest Writers". Will come up with details very soon. Now let us begin with the new topic for now. In the past, people used to say that "Good things comes to those who wait." Now a days people says that "Better things comes to those who don't wait and go get it." I respect both the views. Because both of them reflects the mindsets of the people from different era. And we all change our habits, thinking process as per the status quo changes.  Therefore I strongly believe that both the statements should be merged together to have a best outcome of any situation. Let us take an example of our parents. If you listen to them carefully, you will realize that sometimes they regret some things from the past because of two major reasons. First, for rushing to get the things done. Second, waiting too long to receive something.  And now at t...

A YEAR IN NMITD (Navinchandra Mehta Institute of Technology and Development)

Image
In a day or two, we MMS 17-19 batch will complete our one year in NMITD. Exactly a year ago on 1st August we entered into this institute which eventually became our second home. The whole year was a great journey. NMITD has helped me to transform myself into a smart professional from just a clever student. Every one in our institute was part of this transformation and hence has some contributed majoritily in my success. Starting from our interaction with our seniors at Induction. Thanks to  Prafulla, Bhushan, Sayli, Aboli, Makarand, Aishwarya and many other seniors. Their warm welcome in first week itself made us feel comfortable. And I truly believe that was the crucial point which laid down a solid foundation.  Afterwords, our bonding with seniors grew so much that we always felt they are our friends rather than they are our seniors. We also had rapport building with faculties from day one. Faculties were and are very understanding. They helped us to groom oursel...

ONE STEP AT A TIME...

Image
Hi everyone. Today while coming back to home I was talking to my friend, Karan Chaudhari. We were discussing many things. But on some points we had some different ideas. But on one point we mutually agreed. And that was, "Success does not come overnight.". It comes after a journey that begins with a motive and goes on with the experiences, hardship, good-bad relationships and many other things. And that requires time. And hence we can say that success does come ONE STEP AT A TIME. As we all can agree upon, success doesn't come overnight. Sometimes we feel some people has got it overnight. But it is not that case. Because the behind the scene tells you a different story. For quite a long time one images circulates on Social media. Which actually reflects our today's discussion topic. That image is as follows: The picture speaks for itself. So no need to explain. Right. But we all can agree that the iceberg tip is the only thing we all watch. Including me. I am n...

12 LESSONS LEARNED FROM MY 3 FAV CELEBS

Image
Hello everyone. Thank you so much for being my consistent readers. I consider learning is a a lifelong process. I am sure, you are also a lifelong learners of life.  Being a learner means you learn from people around you, people known-unknown to you, from situations and from every aspect life has to offer.  But most importantly, we follow our favorite celebs regularly. I follow many celebs, but out of these I have tremendous respect for the trio below. They have one thing in common, they have journeyed from bottom to the top.  From being an Austrian bodybuilder to a governor of USA states and many more accomplishments.From writing a story and refusing to sell it for money to becoming an iconic figure in Hollywood. From having $7 to becoming highest paid actors of Hollywood movies.   I am sure, you also will appreciate their contribution.  Arnold Schwarzenegger: We all know the name and its fame. But still this man says he is not self-made. Can you believe i...

RESPONSIBLE MINDSET

Image
HI ! My today’s topic is about our mindset. My post “HABIT” talked about how important habits are to make you, a successful person. But how do they transform you into successful person from a failure one? Simple they change your mindset and to be precise, a Responsible Mindset. Now what is this Responsible mindset? From my view point it is about two things:  First, being aware about your rights and accepting them.  Second, being aware of your duties/responsibilities and accepting them. Generally people pick up the first one very quickly. As it is very beneficial to them. But they try to avoid the later one. Obviously, who wants bear the responsibility ? Success = Accepting ( Rights + Responsibilities ) But let me tell you one thing. You take any successful person. Go through their lives. Analyze their life path. And you will realize that they started their journey of success, once they became more responsible and started accepting their duties. Till the time you just accept ...

MARVEL's THE AVENGERS (2012) AND TEAM DEVELOPMENT

Hello everyone. It is such a pleasure to interacting with you all through comments and on personal chats. I am grateful for your response for my last two posts. Today’s topic is Avengers movie (2012) and its relatedness to Team Development Process. Now I am sure many among this blog's readers, does like Hollywood movies and especially Marvel’s. The whole team behind Marvel movie has done an amazing job. One of the milestone movie in this franchise is Marvel's The Avengers released in 2012. I have seen that movie several times. So while thinking about it I observed one interesting thing. And that is , how this movie gets evolved and reflects the concept of TEAM DEVELOPMENT STAGES. Last semester I learned this concept. Basically this concept related to how teams evolve from initial stage to its dissolution. It mainly has four phases. Later on additional phase has been added. And even the movie evolves like this stages does. How ? My observations are as follows : Stage 1 F...

HABITS... THEY EITHER MAKE YOU OR BREAK YOU.

Image
Hello everyone !!! Thanks a lot for your support for my last post. I appreciate you taking time out to read. I am sure this time also I wont let you down. So, this time my intuition got me a subject of habits. Actually this is 3 a.m. as per Indian standard time in the morning and I was about to go bed after watching Kevin O’Leary interviews/videos. And I was thinking about why these people are where they are at top? Immediate answer to that was their Habits. You take any successful person. Read/listen to their stories. And when you summarize them. You end up realizing that actually, their habits lead them to the top. Because habits are like these lego bricks in this pic or actual bricks. Have habit of Putting one at a time and continuity in that work gives you ultimate results. Lets see some of the habits which I think are most important to be successful  One of the habit is investing your time in productive things and avoiding time consuming stuff. People who ar...

INTUITION… POWERFUL GUIDANCE TOOL

Image
WE human beings have thoughts making our desires. Then it gets converted into demands (as learned in economics). These unsatisfied wants give all of us motivation to go out there and do something to satisfy ourselves. That “ do something” part is very important. Because it may give us heavenly feeling or hurt us afterward. And then depending on that, we automatically decide our standard of livings. But is there anything out there which can help us to get what we want and yet doing it in rightful and ethical manner. Yes! There is. INTUITION. Your intuition is nothing but road maps laid down by our mind and soul. I believe that these intuitions comes out on surface from deep down our minds and souls. And hence they give us the alternatives which are safe, secure and are good for ourselves. Because that’s how we can proceed without getting hurt. Of course even the brain’s logic is also equally important. No one can deny that. But the logic sometimes make us do things which we...
