 We cannot dig a hole in a different place by
digging the same hole deeper.
 Studies have shown that 90% of error in
thinking is due to error in perception.
 If you can change your perceptions, you can
change your emotion and this can lead to
new ideas.
 Success comes to those who can take
problems on the chin. They stop excusing
themselves from the problem and are willing
to face their failures.
Let us solve our problems.
Don't run away from them.27-Dec-17 35

Be aware of your stress levels and their
sources, e.g., If watching the news impacts
your stress levels, then stop watching it.
Managing stress is all about taking
control of your thoughts, your
emotions, your schedule, your
environment, and the way you deal
with problems.
The ultimate goal is a balanced life,
with time for work, relationships,
relaxation, and fun. -WLB-

Procrastination is your worst enemy
Do stop complaining about why you can't do it... And
start making the required effort...
To dream alone is nothing... To
plan and execute is everything...
Don't be afraid, go take an action you had
been lazy about, not tomorrow, not after 2
hours, do it now!!!
And remember you never fail until you give
up...

CAREER DEVELOPMENT ?
Wondering where life will take you after graduation?
The career question is one of the most frequently
asked during your undergraduate experience both of
yourself and by your friends and family.
HR Professionals emphasize the word process
because making a career choice requires both time
and a proactive approach. Career decision making is a
developmental process that you will engage in during
your college years and throughout the course of your
life.
There is no specific, linear course that defines your
unique career exploration and decision making path.

Resume Vs C.V.
The terms "resume" and "Curriculum Vitae" (C.V.) often are
used interchangeably. However, they actually do differ in a
few important ways.
A resume is a brief (usually one page), direct, fact-by-fact
summary of your skills, experience, and education.
A C.V. contains a more detailed synopsis, including your
academic background, teaching and research experience,
publications, presentations, honors, awards, affiliations, and
other details. Accordingly, the C.V. is generally much longer,
often ranging from 5 to 10 pages or more.

There are countless intelligent students who never
achieve any remarkable success simple because
they never plan their education and career. Those
who don’t plan their studies, always find
themselves confused, aimless, frustrated and,
ultimately, failure in their personal and professional
lives.
•Desires alone can not do any thing but if
coupled with positive qualities like patience,
humility, dependability, confidence,
understanding and belief, you can get for what
you desire.
•For achieving our desires, we should be solution
conscious not problem conscious.
•Keep record to find where you were and where
you want to be

•Be absolutely convinced that you could reach
your goal
•For example you are a student. If you study for
good grade you will get them, but you study for
knowledge, you will get even better grades and
considerably more knowledge.
•If you work for salary you will get it, but it will
probably be small. If you work for betterment
of the company in which you are, not only will
you get bigger salary, but you will get personal
satisfaction as well as respect from your
colleagues.
•What does it mean? It means difference of
attitude.
•Motivate your self. There are three sort of
motivations. Fear motivation, carrot or
incentive motivation but try to have internal
motivation. 83
