KATRINA KAIF (ACTRESS/MODEL)

3. Birthday: 16th July, 1984
Nationality : British(Is half English and
half Indian.)
Occupation : Actress, model
Katrina was born in Hong Kong to a
Indian Kashmiri Father, Mohammed
Kaif and English mother, Suzanne
Turquotte. Her parents got divorced
when she was very young. She is
having seven siblings.
She was voted the sexiest Asian
women in the world by Eastern Eye in
year 2008, 2009 and 2010. Being a
British citizen, she works in India on
an employment visa.
HobbiesModelling, Traveling and
Partying
She was voted at the No. 1 spot in
FHM India’s 100 Sexiest Women in the
World poll.

4. Success Story
• Inspirations come in all shapes and sizes. One of them is
Katrin Kaif, she began her career in 2003 in a super disaster
film with Boom ,. And for three years after that she did not
dub any dialogues in her movies, be it Sarkar or Maine Pyar
Kyon Kiya simply because she could not emote in Hindi, a
language alien to her because of her British upbringing.
Despite her linguistic shortcoming within a short span of 5-
7 years she has become one of the most successful
actresses in the Hindi film industry. Many amongst us try
/start something that we have no knowledge of. Worse we
wouldn’t even understand the nitty gritties. But if we are
willing to work hard and smart like Katrina, there is no
reason why we can’t become a successful manager/leader.

5. Leadership Lesson
• Background and past do not matter;
what matters is what you do with your
present.
• Don೦t be discouraged by failures,
instead learn from them.
• Find yourself a mentor and be willing to
learn.
• Only ೦attitude೦ matters; rest is just a
matter of details.

6. Failure
She could not emote in Hindi(Indian language), a
language alien to her because of her British
upbringing.
She is yet to adjust to the expectations of
Bollywood. Heroines here are expected to be self-sacrificing
goddesses of virtue. While new age
cinema directors have started to experiment with
roles, the traditional conditions set for heroines
still largely influence the way they behave on
screen.

9. Leadership Lesson
• Peace is not a relationship of nations. It is a
condition of mind brought about by a serenity of
soul. Peace is not merely the absence of war. It is
also a state of mind. Lasting peace can come only
to peaceful people.
• Failure comes only when we forget our ideals and
objectives and principles.
• A leader or a man of action in a crisis almost
always acts subconsciously and then thinks of the
reasons for his action.

10. Success Story
• In 1919, while traveling on a train, Nehru overheard British Brigadier-General Reginald Dyer
gloating over the Jallianwala Bagh massacre. The massacre, also known as the Massacre of
Amritsar, was an incident in which 379 people were killed and at least 1,200 wounded
when the British military stationed there continuously fired for ten minutes on a crowd of
unarmed Indians. Upon hearing Dyer’s words, Nehru vowed to fight the British. The
incident changed the course of his life.
• Nehru joined the Indian National Congress, one of India's two major political parties.. It
was Gandhi's insistence on action to bring about change and greater autonomy from the
British that sparked Nehru's interest the most.
• The British didn't give in easily to Indian demands for freedom, and in late 1921, the
Congress Party's central leaders and workers were banned from operating in some
provinces. Nehru went to prison for the first time as the ban took effect; over the next 24
years he was to serve a total of nine sentences, adding up to more than nine years in jail.
• In 1928, after years of struggle on behalf of Indian emancipation, Jawaharlal Nehru was
named president of the Indian National Congress. (In fact, hoping that Nehru would attract
India's youth to the party, Mahatma Gandhi had engineered Nehru's rise.) The next year,
Nehru led the historic session at Lahore that proclaimed complete independence as India's
political goal. November 1930 saw the start of the Round Table Conferences, which
convened in London and hosted British and Indian officials working toward a plan of
eventual independence.

11. Failure
• Nehru had a total impractical approach to integrating Kashmir with rest
of India. He didn't allow Sardar Patel to deal with Kashmir issue. Patel
was quite successful in integrating other troubled regions such as
Hyderabad Nizam's province with India.
• Nehru took India as a socialistic nation, in the path of USSR. Patel was
firmly capitalistic and Mahatma wanted more rural development. Either
of the latter paths could have been beneficial for India. With Nehru's
lopsided projects - going for big industries and dams without any rural
development, meant people were forced to move to cities, without
having enough infrastructure.
• Nehru's works were related to China war of 1962. He was totally
unpragmatical. While, Nehru's cronies have virutally silenced his failures
in China war, the rest of the world made us into a mocking stock. As
Nevile Maxwell put it:
hopelessly ill-prepared Indian Army that provoked China on orders
emanating from Delhi … paid the price for its misadventure in men,
money and national humiliation

14. Leadership Quotes
• I don't think that I would consider myself a feminist. I
think that I certainly believe in equal rights, I believe
that women are just as capable, if not more so in a lot
of different dimensions, but I don't, I think have, sort
of, the militant drive and the sort of, the chip on the
shoulder that sometimes comes with that.
• If you can find something that you're really passionate
about, whether you're a man or a woman comes a lot
less into play. Passion is a gender-neutralizing force.
• When people think about computer science, they
imagine people with pocket protectors and thick
glasses who code all night.

15. Succes Story
• Mayer's 14th job offer came from Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin,
who quizzed her on artificial intelligence while sitting at a ping-pong table that
the company used for conferences. In 1999, Google wasn't yet an Internet search
giant. In fact, the company had only 19 employees. Upon accepting an offer to
lead Google's user interface and Web server teams, Mayer became the
company's 20th employee and its first female engineer.
• Her tenure at Google involved work on some of the company's most recognizable
and successful products, including Google Maps, Google Earth, Street View,
Google News and Gmail. Known as a fashionista with an eye for design, Mayer is
widely credited for the unique look and feel that has come to characterize the
Google experience. For example, she was responsible for approving each
"doodle" (the custom logos commemorating holidays and events) appearing on
the Google home page.
• Mayer spent more than a decade at Google accumulating accolades for her work
ethic, eye for detail and vision. In a 2008 interview, however, she seemed to be
looking ahead to her next act. "I helped build Google," Mayer said, "but I don't
like to rest on [my] laurels. I think the most interesting thing is what happens
next."
• What happened next for Mayer captured tremendous interest both in Silicon
Valley and around the world. In July 2012, she was appointed president and CEO
of Yahoo, a company besieged by declining stock prices, layoffs and slowing ad
revenue.

16. Failure
• For Yahoo Mail's 16th anniversary, the company surprised
its users with a complete inbox and mail redesign
implemented on October 8 — and users think it's a disaster.
• Six days later, thousands upon thousands of furious Mail
users are telling Yahoo they are enraged at the removal of
key functions, and many report serious technical problems.
• an apparent redesign backfire, Yahoo has removed — or
misplaced — essential Yahoo Mail functions.
• Users are outraged that they can no longer organize their
Inbox by Tabs or Sort by Sender, they can't view their
Folders unless they leave the inbox, new emails are no
longer bold, and the delete button is turning out to
be disastrously placed next to sender name.

Helen Keller

18. BornHelen Adams Keller
June 27, 1880
Tuscumbia, Alabama, U.S.
DiedJune 1, 1968 (aged 87)
Arcan Ridge
Easton, Connecticut, U.S.
OccupationAuthor, political
activist, lecturer
Best known for: Accomplishing
much despite being both deaf
and blind.

19. Lessons
• The best and most beautiful things in the world
cannot be seen or even touched - they must be
felt with the heart.
• Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement.
Nothing can be done without hope and
confidence.
• Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet.
Only through experience of trial and suffering can
the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired, and
success achieved.

20. Success Story
• In March 1887, Sullivan went to Keller's home in Alabama and immediately went
to work. She began by teaching Helen finger spelling, starting with the word "doll,"
to help Keller understand the gift of a doll she had brought along. Other words
would follow. At first, Keller was curious, then defiant, refusing to cooperate with
Sullivan's instruction. When Keller did cooperate, Sullivan could tell that she wasn't
making the connection between the objects and the letters spelled out in her
hand. Sullivan kept working at it, forcing Helen to go through the regimen.
• As Keller's frustration grew, the tantrums increased. Finally, Sullivan demanded
that she and Keller be isolated from the rest of the family for a time, so that Keller
could concentrate only on Sullivan's instruction. They moved to a cottage on the
plantation.
• In a dramatic struggle, Sullivan taught Keller the word "water"; she helped her
make the connection between the object and the letters by taking Keller out to the
water pump, and placing Keller's hand under the spout. While Sullivan moved the
lever to flush cool water over Keller's hand, she spelled out the word w-a-t-e-r on
Helen's other hand. Keller understood and repeated the word in Sullivan's hand.
She then pounded the ground, demanding to know its "letter name." Sullivan
followed her, spelling out the word into her hand. Keller moved to other objects
with Sullivan in tow. By nightfall, she had learned 30 words.

21. Failure
• In 1882, however, Keller contracted an illness—called "brain fever"
by the family doctor—that produced a high body temperature. The
true nature of the illness remains a mystery today, though some
experts believe it might have been scarlet fever or meningitis.
Within a few days after the fever broke, Keller's mother noticed
that her daughter didn't show any reaction when the dinner bell
was rung, or when a hand was waved in front of her face. Keller had
lost both her sight and hearing. She was just 18 months old.
• As Keller grew into childhood, she developed a limited method of
communication with her companion, Martha Washington, the
young daughter of the family cook. The two had created a type of
sign language, and by the time Keller was 7, they had invented
more than 60 signs to communicate with each other. But Keller had
become very wild and unruly during this time. She would kick and
scream when angry, and giggle uncontrollably when happy. She
tormented Martha and inflicted raging tantrums on her parents.
Many family relatives felt she should be institutionalized.

• It is the lone worker who makes the first advance
in a subject; the details may be worked out by a
team, but the prime idea is due to enterprise,
thought, and perception of an individual.
• One sometimes finds what one is not looking for.
• I have been trying to point out that in our lives
chance may have an astonishing influence and, if
I may offer advice to the young laboratory
worker, it would be this - never to neglect an
extraordinary appearance or happening.

25. Success Story
• Serving in the Royal Army Medical Corps during World War I,
Scottish bacteriologist Alexander Fleming was troubled by
his inability to care for infections in deep wounds, where
bacteria could thrive beyond the reach of the era's
antiseptics. After the war he began searching for a better
antibacterial agent, and in 1921 he made a significant
breakthrough with the discovery of lysozyme, so named
because it lyses (dissolves) microbes. Lysozyme occurs in
white blood cells, egg whites, milk, pus, saliva, and tears,
and engulfs and digests bacteria, forming a key component
in the body's defense system. Though this alone would be
enough to secure Fleming's place in medical history, he is far
more famous for his second significant breakthrough in
September 1928 — the accidental discovery of penicillin.

26. Failure
• In 1940, Florey carried out vital experiments,
showing that penicillin could protect mice against
infection from deadly Streptococci. Then, on
February 12, 1941, a 43-year old policeman,
Albert Alexander, became the first recipient of
the Oxford penicillin. He had scratched the side of
his mouth while pruning roses, and had
developed a life-threatening infection with huge
abscesses affecting his eyes, face, and lungs.
Penicillin was injected and within days he made a
remarkable recovery. But supplies of the drug ran
out and he died a few days later.

Works & Achievements: Lance Armstrong is
a road racing cyclist, who won seven Tour

use of performance-enhancing drugs.

29. Lessons
• Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an
hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will
subside and something else will take its place.
If I quit, however, it lasts forever.
• If you worried about falling off the bike, you'd
never get on.
• If we don't somehow stem the tide of
childhood obesity, we're going to have a huge
problem.

30. Success Story
• Battling Testicular Cancer
• In October 1996, however, came the shocking
announcement that Armstrong had been diagnosed with
testicular cancer. Well advanced, the tumors had spread to
his abdomen, lungs, and lymph nodes. After having a
testicle removed, drastically modifying his eating habits,
and beginning aggressive chemotherapy, Armstrong was
given a 65 to 85 percent chance of survival. When doctors
found tumors on his brain, however, his odds of survival
dropped to 50-50, and then to 40 percent. Fortunately, a
subsequent surgery to remove his brain tumors was
declared successful, and after more rounds of
chemotherapy, Armstrong was declared cancer-free in
February 1997.

31. Failure
• Armstrong has been under intense speculation that he
had used performance-enhancing drugs from 1999 to
2005 (he won the Tour de France seven consecutive
times during this period), but in June 2012, the U.S
Anti-Doping Agency brought formal charges against
him, threatening to strip the famous cyclist of his Tour
titles. on August 24, 2012, the USADA announced that
Armstrong would be stripped of his seven Tour titles—
as well as other honors he received from 1999 to
2005—and banned from cycling for life. The agency
concluded in its report that Armstrong had used
banned performance-enhancing substances.

34. Lessons
• Let us always meet each other with smile, for
the smile is the beginning of love.
• We think sometimes that poverty is only being
hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of
being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is
the greatest poverty. We must start in our
own homes to remedy this kind of poverty.
• Love begins at home, and it is not how much
we do... but how much love we put in that
action.

35. Success Story
• Little did she know that the journey from Calcutta to Darjeeling made by
Mother Teresa for her yearly retreat, on September 10, 1946 would
transform her life completely.
She experienced a call within a call - a call from the Almighty to fulfil His
heartfelt desire of serving the ‘poorest of the poor’. Mother Teresa
explained the experience as an order from Him, which she could not fail
on any condition as it would mean breaking the faith.
He asked Mother Teresa to establish a new religious community,
Missionaries of Charity Sisters, which would be dedicated to serving the
‘poorest of the poor’. The community would work in the slums of Calcutta
and help the poorest and sick people.
Since Mother Teresa had taken a vow of obedience, leaving the convent
without official permission was impossible. For nearly two years, she
lobbied for initiating the new religious community, which brought
favourable result in the January of 1948 as she received a final approval
from the local Archbishop Ferdinand Périer to pursue the new calling.
