A Story of Patience
Abraham Lincoln 3-03-20
Abraham Lincoln, though born poor, became a very wise and just
president. He was president during the Civil War and was very loyal to the
side of the Union. He was born in a log cabin, so he had experience in what it is
like to be living in a home where you have to do everything, without any
servants to help you or anybody to support you. He lost several elections
before ever winning one. He learned success comes only after much patience.
After he became president, in his second term, he was assassinated after
having served his country to the fullest of his capability. Even though he was
assassinated, he still made his mark in American history. Without him, the
Union may have lost the Civil War and we might still have slavery today.
Abraham Lincoln teaches patience through his words: “We shall sooner have
the fowl by hatching it than by smashing it.”
This saying teaches us that we shall more quickly have the baby bird by
allowing nature to take its course on the egg’s shell than by destroying it
altogether.
Patience results in success. Let us look at an example we can all relate
to. A child is baking delicious cookies on a Saturday morning in his kitchen.
He wants to take the cookies out of the oven early, but he waits because he
knows that waiting for the cookies to be fully cooked is a better option than
taking them out early and having some raw cookie batter. Even though the
delicious aroma of the cookies tempts him to take out the cookies early, he
waits patiently to hear the “ding” of the timer. When he finally takes out the
cookies on time, he has beautiful cookies that he can now enjoy.
Impatience, on the other hand, results in failure, not success. Careless
haste is even worse. Consider the same case: a child is baking delicious
cookies one Saturday morning. Instead of waiting patiently for the timer on
the oven to go off, he is desperate to have some warm yumminess in his
mouth and takes out the cookies five minutes before the timer signals. When
he looks at them, his face is full of disappointment because all he sees is a pile
of tasteless mess. When he eats one, he gets a tummy ache from the uncooked
dough. This example shows the result of being impatient. This unwise child
now has some cookie batter in the shape of circles and potential food
poisening instead of warm, gooey cookies.
Just as running around a brick wall saves a person’s life, in the same
way, patiently addressing problems procures the desired results.
In the story Robin Hood, an outlaw waits for his king (King John) to
understand the need of having to give to the poor. This outlaw waits for two
long, hard years for the king to change his mind about the law that states, “If
you give to the poor, you will have your land and money stripped from your .
Bruce Lee was a Chinese martial artist and actor who is considered one of the most influential martial artists of the 20th century. Some of the key life lessons discussed in the document include focusing on enjoying the journey rather than just the end goal, being flexible rather than rigid in one's beliefs, committing fully to continuous practice and improvement in order to master skills, and taking action rather than overthinking. The document provides 17 life lessons distilled from Bruce Lee's teachings around concepts like simplicity, self-validation, living proactively, and expressing one's authentic self.
Jesse Torres outlines 10 steps to achieving success in life that he will discuss in two commencement speeches. The 10 steps include setting goals, not fearing failure, taking risks, continuous learning, not settling, living a balanced life, seeking mentors, listening, networking, and keeping notes. Torres has over 20 years of leadership experience and is a nationally recognized speaker and author. He hopes his advice will help inspire graduates to develop a roadmap for successful living.
The document provides advice on taking action and being productive. It emphasizes doing work today rather than procrastinating, being prepared through planning, accepting and adapting to change, taking opportunities quickly, continuing self-improvement, and persevering through challenges rather than giving up. The overall message is about translating ideas into real-world accomplishments through diligent work.

Bruce Lee was a Chinese American martial artist and actor who is considered one of the most influential martial artists of the 20th century. Some key points about Bruce Lee:
- He was not American but Chinese, though this is a common misconception. He was an actor, martial artist, film director and screenwriter.

- He shared many life lessons through his teachings and films related to being flexible like bamboo, living purposefully and for others, focusing on mastery through repetition instead of
The document provides a collection of quotes and sayings related to taking action, experimenting, failing, and innovating. Some key ideas expressed are:
- Start doing things now rather than planning excessively. Intelligent action is better than inaction.
- Experiment frequently and be willing to fail, as failure is an important part of the learning process. Try new things even if you might screw them up.
- Pursue bold missions and hire unusual people who can drive innovative change through experimentation.
This document discusses three main topics:
1. A wealthy man who suffered from severe eye pain tried many treatments until a monk suggested only looking at green colors. The man had everything in his house painted green which was an extreme and unnecessary solution.
2. An article discusses the balance between maturity and keeping one's inner child alive. Maturity is logical but life is unpredictable, and celebrating life's simple pleasures requires a childlike sense of wonder.
3. Another article talks about how relationships now often come with "terms and conditions" as people expect things in return. True care for others means unconditional love without expectations.
9 things to think about before you give upMadiha Ahmed
The document provides 9 things to consider before giving up. It notes that you imprison yourself with self-defeating stories but you are alive in a vast world with infinite possibilities. Some key points are that failure is not falling down but staying down, what you've learned is important, tough times are part of life's natural balance, pain helps you grow, and life is still good despite its challenges. Simplifying your perspective and keeping determination can help you push through difficulties.
Albert Einstein was a brilliant physicist who developed the theory of relativity and won the Nobel Prize in Physics. Some key lessons from Einstein include: [1] Follow your curiosity and ask questions to solve problems and make discoveries; [2] Perseverance is essential for overcoming obstacles to achieve success; [3] Focus on living in the present moment rather than dwelling on the past or future.
This document contains 17 life lessons from Bruce Lee on topics such as goals, happiness, taking action, simplicity, ego, validation, circumstances, and authenticity.

This document is a collection of lessons by Gonzo Arzuaga on reframing failure. It includes 23 lessons with topics such as taking small steps forward after a fall, not giving up too soon, forgetting excuses and looking for opportunities, setting challenging goals, and maintaining determination. It also includes a poem "Desiderata" at the end which discusses maintaining peace and positivity.

The Sunday Times #1 Bestseller
How do you get the most out of life's blink?
The best-selling “Stop Talking Start Doing”, was about making your dreams real. This one tackles a more fundamental question. Are you having the right dreams for you?
In this book we start at the beginning. With the right thinking tools and the right approach you can release your inspiration and creativity, reset your ambition and direct your attention to the things that truly matter to you. And that can change your life.
“You came into this world bursting with wonder, imagination, curiosity, the urge to be creative and, as any crawling wanna-walk baby will show you, you were born with unflinching and boundless ambition”, he says.
Now it’s time to rediscover that lust for life.
“Today your unshackled imagination is the truest designer of your future.
The new certainty is that everything changes, anything is possible and whatever you can imagine is probably on the cusp of being made real tomorrow and obsolete soon after.
So fast is the world transforming that only if you think wildly and recklessly will you even keep up with what’s coming down the road. Merely to keep up you must overshoot like an archer aims ahead of a moving object.
To go further, if you want to seize control and shape your future the requirement is clearer still: You must cast your imagination yet wider and think even bigger.
Because the bottom line is this, your imagination is now the limiting factor of your life. In the world of anything-is-possible the outer limits of thinking big are the barriers of your life.
Make them small and that is the life you will have. Throw them far and then never stop extending them and you shall never limit yourself.
You may not reach the ends of your imagination and ambition. But you will not go past it.”
Here are nine habits of mind, that will unshackle you from the busyness of life and all the noisy small staff . Inspired, you’ll demolish the barriers of narrow thinking, expand your frontiers, overshoot your current reality by a distance and never experience the dismay of “Massive Monday” again.
Here’s where it starts. This is a reset button. Push it.
“Very cool. Fun, fast and furious: my kind of life and this is my kind of book!”
Kevin Roberts – Worldwide CEO of Saatchi & Saatchi
“It pays to think big. This small book will set you on your way.”

1) The document discusses how having an interest in one's work can make even typically boring subjects like chemistry more engaging. It provides the example of Ambalika Khadria who won an international dance competition by using dance to explain her chemistry research.
2) It also discusses the importance of having a process-oriented approach like chefs to achieve consistent results, rather than relying on hunches like many cooks. Specialized salespeople also understand the value of adhering to a consistent sales process.
3) The document encourages stepping outside one's comfort zone to achieve great success, as uncomfortable situations help us stay focused on our goals and become comfortable with challenges.
This is one of the finest videos on Einstein thoughts. However, the final slide has the address of the persons who created the video. You can connect with them.
Sabrina reflects on her first day of a new program where she learned that she cannot expect things to be handed to her and must work for what she wants in life. She was advised to always have a plan for where she wants to go and what she wants from life. The motivational map activity accurately described Sabrina as wanting to do meaningful work but holding herself back out of fear of failure. By the end of the program, Sabrina gained more confidence in herself and her abilities. She thanked the program leader for helping her develop self-assurance.
Lessons I learnt from the greatest teacher - LIFE.Milind Jadhav
The document provides life lessons learned from experience. It advises to make mistakes early to grow, as life's tests come before lessons. Success comes from attitude, not just skills. It's important to follow your heart's intelligence. The goal is personal growth, not just achievement. Teamwork helps accomplish more. Respect yourself for others to respect you. Most successful people don't follow rules strictly and make their own. With time and effort, what seems impossible can become possible. Financial skills are as important as academic skills for long term wealth. Question assumptions and never stop learning. Stand up for your beliefs despite opposition. Take initiative to seize opportunities rather than waiting passively. Have the courage to change things you don't like.
Motivation for success life - WATCH THIS EVERYDAY AND CHANGE YOUR LIFEchaminda bandara
Motivation is the word derived from the word ’motive’ which means needs, desires, wants or drives within the individuals. It is the process of stimulating people to actions to accomplish the goals. In the work goal context the psychological factors stimulating the people’s behaviour can be -
# desire for money
# success
# recognition
# job-satisfaction
# team work, etc
One of the most important functions of management is to create willingness amongst the employees to perform in the best of their abilities. Therefore the role of a leader is to arouse interest in performance of employees in their jobs. The process of motivation consists of three stages:-
1. A felt need or drive
2. A stimulus in which needs have to be aroused
3. When needs are satisfied, the satisfaction or accomplishment of goals.
Therefore, we can say that motivation is a psychological phenomenon which means needs and wants of the individuals have to be tackled by framing an incentive plan.

1) The document discusses how having an interest in one's work can make even typically boring subjects like chemistry more engaging. It provides the example of Ambalika Khadria who won an international dance competition by using dance to explain her chemistry research.
2) It also discusses the importance of having a process-oriented approach like chefs to achieve consistent results, rather than relying on hunches like many cooks. Specialized salespeople also understand the value of adhering to a consistent sales process.
3) The document encourages stepping outside one's comfort zone to achieve great success, as uncomfortable situations help us stay focused on our goals and become comfortable with challenges.
This is one of the finest videos on Einstein thoughts. However, the final slide has the address of the persons who created the video. You can connect with them.
Sabrina reflects on her first day of a new program where she learned that she cannot expect things to be handed to her and must work for what she wants in life. She was advised to always have a plan for where she wants to go and what she wants from life. The motivational map activity accurately described Sabrina as wanting to do meaningful work but holding herself back out of fear of failure. By the end of the program, Sabrina gained more confidence in herself and her abilities. She thanked the program leader for helping her develop self-assurance.
Lessons I learnt from the greatest teacher - LIFE.Milind Jadhav
The document provides life lessons learned from experience. It advises to make mistakes early to grow, as life's tests come before lessons. Success comes from attitude, not just skills. It's important to follow your heart's intelligence. The goal is personal growth, not just achievement. Teamwork helps accomplish more. Respect yourself for others to respect you. Most successful people don't follow rules strictly and make their own. With time and effort, what seems impossible can become possible. Financial skills are as important as academic skills for long term wealth. Question assumptions and never stop learning. Stand up for your beliefs despite opposition. Take initiative to seize opportunities rather than waiting passively. Have the courage to change things you don't like.
Motivation for success life - WATCH THIS EVERYDAY AND CHANGE YOUR LIFEchaminda bandara
Motivation is the word derived from the word ’motive’ which means needs, desires, wants or drives within the individuals. It is the process of stimulating people to actions to accomplish the goals. In the work goal context the psychological factors stimulating the people’s behaviour can be -
# desire for money
# success
# recognition
# job-satisfaction
# team work, etc
One of the most important functions of management is to create willingness amongst the employees to perform in the best of their abilities. Therefore the role of a leader is to arouse interest in performance of employees in their jobs. The process of motivation consists of three stages:-
1. A felt need or drive
2. A stimulus in which needs have to be aroused
3. When needs are satisfied, the satisfaction or accomplishment of goals.
Therefore, we can say that motivation is a psychological phenomenon which means needs and wants of the individuals have to be tackled by framing an incentive plan.

on
The Changing World
2. Prelude
A very inspiring, interesting and thought
provoking speech by Shri Azim Premji At the
37th Annual Convocation 2002, IIM, Ahmedabad
“While change and uncertainty have always been a part of life, what has
been shocking over the last year has been both the quantum and
suddenness of change. For many people who were cruising along on placid
waters, the wind was knocked out of their sails. The entire logic of doing
business was turned on its head. Not only business, but also every aspect
of human life has been impacted by the change. What lies ahead is even
more dynamic and uncertain. I would like to use this opportunity to share
with you some of our own guiding principles of staying afloat in a changing
world. This is based on our experience in Wipro. I hope you find them
useful.”
3. LESSON 1
“Be alert for the first signs of change.”
Change descends on every One equally; it is just that some realize it faster.
Some changes are sudden but many others are gradual.While sudden
changes get attention because they are dramatic, it is the gradual changes
that are ignored till it is too late. You must have all heard of story of the frog
in boiling water. If the temperature of the water is suddenly increased, the
frog realizes it and jumps out of the water. But if the temperature is very
slowly increased, one degree at a time, the frog does not realize it till it boils
to death. You must develop your own early warning system, which warns
you of changes and calls your attention to it. In the case of change, being
forewarned is being forearmed.
4. LESSON 2
“Anticipate change even when things are
going right."
Most people wait for something to go wrong before they think of change. It
is like going to the doctor for a check up only when you are seriously sick
or thinking of maintaining your vehicle only when it breaks down. The
biggest enemy of future success is past success. When you succeed, you
feel that you must be doing something right for it to happen. But when
the parameters for success change, doing the same things may or may
not continue to lead to success. Guard against complacency all the time.
Complacency makes you blind to the early signals from the environment
that something is going wrong.
5. LESSON 3
“Always look at the opportunities that
change represents.”
Managing change has a lot to go with our own attitude towards it. It is
proverbial half-full or half empty glass approach. For every problem
that change represents, there is an opportunity lurking in disguise
somewhere. It is up to you to spot it before someone else does.
6. LESSON 4
“Do not allow routines to become chains."
For many of us the routine. We have got accustomed to obstructs
change. Routines represent our own zones of comfort. There is a
sense of predictability about them. They have structured our time and
even our thought in a certain way. While routines are useful, do not
let them enslave you. Deliberately break out of them from time to time.
7. LESSON 5
“Realize that fear of the unknown is natural.”
With change comes a feeling of insecurity. Many people believe
that brave people are not afflicted by this malady. The truth is different.
Every one feels the fear of unknown. Courage is not the absence of fear
but the ability to manage fear without getting paralyzed. Feel the fear,
but move on regardless.
8. LESSON 6
“Keep renewing yourself.”
This prepares you to anticipate change and be ready for it when it comes.
Constantly ask yourself what new skills and competencies will be needed.
Begin working on them before it becomes necessary and you will have a
natural advantage. The greatest benefit of your education lies not only in
what you have learnt, but in working how to learn. Formal education is the
beginning of the journey of learning. Yet I do meet youngsters who feel that
they have already learnt all there is to learn. You have to constantly learn
about people and how to interact effectively with them. In the world of
tomorrow, only those individuals and organizations will succeed who have
mastered the art of rapid and on-going learning.
9. LESSON 7
“Surround yourself with people who are
open to change."
If you are always in the company of cynics, you will soon find yourself
becoming like them. A cynic knows all the reasons why something cannot
be done. Instead, spend time with people who have a "can-do" approach.
Choose your advisors and mentors correctly. Pessimism is contagious, but
then so is enthusiasm. In fact, reasonable optimism can be an amazing
force multiplier.
10. LESSON 8
“Play to win..!!"
I have said this many times in the past. Playing to win is not the same as
cutting corners. When you play to win, you stretch yourself to your
maximum and use all your potential. It also helps you to concentrate
your energy on what you can influence instead of getting bogged down
with the worry of what you cannot change. Do your best and leave the
rest.
11. LESSON 9
“Respect yourself. The world will reward you
on your successes."
Success requires no explanation and failure permits none. But you need to
respect yourself enough so that your self-confidence remains intact
whether you succeed or fail. If you succeed 90 per cent of the time, you
are doing fine. If you are succeeding all the time, you should ask yourself
if you are taking enough risks. If you do not take enough risks, you may
also be losing out on many opportunities. Think through but take the
plunge. If some things do go wrong, learn from them. I came across this
interesting story some time ago:
12. Story
“One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for
hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally he decided the animal
was old and the well needed to be covered up anyway it just wasn't worth it to
retrieve the donkey. He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him.
They all grabbed a shovel and begin to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the
donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's
amazement he quieted down. A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked
down the well and was astonished at what he saw. With every shovel of dirt
that fell on his back, the donkey was doing some thing amazing. He would
shake it off and take a step up. As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel
dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon,
everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and
totted off ! Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick is too not
to get bogged down by it. We can get out of the deepest wells by not stopping.
And by never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up !”
13. LESSON 10
“Never change: your core values."
In spite of all the change around you, decide upon what you will never
change: your core values. Take your time to decide what they are but
once you do, do not compromise on them for any reason. Integrity is
one such value.
14. LESSON 11
“We must remember that succeeding in a
changing world is beyond just surviving.”
It is our responsibility to create and contribute something to the world that
has given us so much. We must remember that many have contributed to
our success, including our parents and others from our society. All of us
have a responsibility to utilize our potential for making our nation a better
place for others, who may not be as well endowed as us, or as fortunate
in having the opportunities that we have got. Let us do our bit, because
doing one good deed can have multiple benefits not only for us but also
for many others. Let me end my talk with a small story I came across
some time back, which illustrates this very well.
15. Story
“This is a story of a poor Scottish farmer whose name was Fleming. One day,
while trying to make a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a
nearby dog. He dropped his tools and ran to the dog. There, mired to his waist in
black muck, was a terrified boy, screaming and struggling to free himself. Farmer
Fleming saved the boy from what could have been a slow and terrifying death. The
next day, a fancy carriage pulled up to the Scotsman's sparse surroundings. An
elegantly dressed nobleman stepped out and introduced himself as the father of the
boy Farmer Fleming had saved. "I want to repay you“ said the nobleman. " Yes," the
farmer replied proudly. "I'll make you a deal. Let me take your son and give him a
good education. If he's anything like his father, he'll grow to a man you can be proud
of you." And that he did. In time, Farmer Fleming's son graduated from St.Mary's
Hospital Medical School in London, and went on to become known through-out the
world as the noted Sir Alexander Fleming, the discoverer of Penicillin. Years
afterward, the Nobleman's son was stricken with pneumonia. What saved him?
Penicillin. This is not the end. The nobleman's son also made a great contribution to
society. For the nobleman was non other than Lord Randolph Churchill. and his son's
name was Winston Churchill. Let us use all our talent, competence and energy for
creating peace and happiness for the nation.”
16. “Change is the Only thing that
will Never change. So better
adapt to it."
17. “Change is Universal…
Change is Permanent….
Be ever willing to Change…..
For, change alone leads you to
success and happiness!!!”
18. “If one desires a change, one
must be that change before that
change can take place”
