1. Five ways to lead a happy life
It is been long time (more than a month) that I have not shared anything. I was busy with my
personal activities. Today, I am sharing this post, which is based on many people’s experiences
(like my friends, mentors and colleagues) and some of these are experiences from books. It will
help you to make the necessary steps to lead better life. They’ve already helped many people,
and now it’s your turn.
1) Ready to Change:
Life is an opportunity to prove you. This is one time and unique opportunity. It is there for
everybody. Everybody is equal in front of life. Sometimes you feel life is hard to get on when
you face difficulty in any problem. We all experience different problems in life and different
happy situations as well. All problems have a solution and we live life as try to resolve every
problem and make those problems into happy situations by giving a great solution. Life is like
you are swimming in a boat. If you don’t do anything the currents takes you somewhere and
nowhere. But if you try to raw against the current you will definitely reach the target point. It is
obviously difficult but you have to do it to reach your goal. Life is like this. Start doing
something right now. Try to change yourself and improve the way of life you live.
2) Analyze yourself:
This is very important step to do the above step as before you are going to do something you
need to analyze what has happened and why it has happened. You have to analyze your actions,
advantages, disadvantages, successes and failures. You have to analyze not only mistakes and
failures (generally people have a bad habit of analyzing only the failures so don’t go in that

2. way) but also the success and positive thinking. Sit once in a while and take a paper and pen,
write down all important things whether it is a success or failure. Put them in two columns.
In final you will get an idea of skills you have already acquired and you want to acquire. Then
plan it accordingly that by using the present skills how to acquire the new and innovative skills.
Now you will get an idea of what to change, how and when. Read books, watch movies, discuss
about ideas and personalities but not about persons. Try a piece of work to get more ideas,
implement them to analyze. Even If it goes wrong, you have come to know that it does not
work!
3) Try to be more charismatic:
Attraction is a strange thing which helps you in make things impossible to possible. A person
can be perfectly handsome or beautiful, but if they are not attractive, their beauty can go
unnoticed.Being attractive doesn't mean that we should be pretty. It is something like showing
your inner beauty. Here you have a question of how to show your inner beauty? Use Newton’s
third law of motion in your real life. It helps you in many ways. If others look good/did
something great or extraordinary never feel jealous, dare to complement. Shoot them with an
appropriate bullet. It is obvious that vice versa will happen.
Here are some ways to show your inner beauty
i) Be yourself:

3. People try to hide their true character pretending to be someone else.Everybody is an actor in
real life. Mostly in front of others or if others around you. Others may be friends orcolleagues,
mentors and mangers etc. You have no reason to hide your problems or short comings. Don’t
feel shy. Love yourself; you will definitely love by others. Never share your sorrows to anybody
unless he is a good friend of you.
ii) Be straightforward:
Speak to the point and don’t nag at others. Never nag in meeting! Don’t talk for the sake of
talking. Speak attractively and straight. It will give power to your words. Don’t speak if there is
nothing. Don’t assume anything unless if you are asked to do. It is more of wasting your time
than the others!
iii) Give a Smile:
Smile is the easiest way of being attractive. Smile can attract anybody. The most successful
persons are constantly smiled. So smile a lot.
iv) LOL:
Laugh out loud. It is a real and happy exercise to your body. You know, any person become
attractive when laughing. Try to laugh often but not very often. Read lot of humor books and
share the stories from the book and give an opportunity to others to laugh. Everyone likes a
person with a sense of humor. Research says that Laughter is the best medicine! You won’t feel
stress
v) Open to other people:
Be open and honest. Honesty is the best impression. Don’t try to lie to anybody at any cost.
Don’t be rigid and nobody likes closed.

4. vi) Listen to others:
Listening is a good skill and it will make you more attractive. People love who love to
listen to them. So,listen to others truly. You need to look at the speaker while others
person is speaking. It makes more comfortable talk both the speaker and you as well.
Don’t ask questions in between. Never ask a negative question. Always praise the talk
before asking a question. You can also take the attention of other people by listening.
vii) Give the same importance (personally):
Everybody is equal in the organization. Nobody is big or small. Everybody has their
own creativity feels different from others. Leadership is how you are behaving with
low level employees in your team/out of your team. Everybody is equal and
contributing to the organization at their best. No bias with colleagues.
viii) Be wise:
Being intelligent is not enough, you have to be wise. Do you know the difference
between being intelligent and wise? In precise intelligent guys create an opportunity
(based on situations) and wise guys takes every situation as an opportunity.
4) Manage your time:
Once you decide to change your life, better to learn how to manage your time. Time
management is a capability to find out the difference between the primary tasks and secondary
tasks. Primary task is the one which you need to do it first of all and the secondary can wait a
bit. Learn how to optimize your works such a way that they can be finished in lesser time. To do
all these you should first get rid of laziness and try to do things on you own. Depending on
others for your make outs will obviously lose your time. There are some ways to manage your
time.

5. i) Make a list of tasks every day morning/before going to bed. Plan your day (tomorrow) before
going to bed. List out the tasks based on priority. People have a bad habit of starting long work
first even though it got less importance.
ii) Concentrate on only one task
iii) Try not to postpone things. It is better to close/skip a task instead of postponing. If you skip
at least you save time by not thinking about that task.
iv) Keep a deadline. Sometimes keeping a deadline makes you anxious. Keep a deadline if you
feel you are consistent.
v) Make a Note on your dairy. Use Google’s calendar if you cannot write a (hard) dairy. It is easy
to use and it will always fire (shoot) you with a mail to your inbox. It has colorful user interface
to differentiate your tasks based on priority. Keep a red color for postponed/skipped tasks.
Monitor these tasks every weekend or month and make list of completed versus incomplete.
This will obviously give your efficiency to improve.
5) Give up bad habits:
Habit is an action that we do without thinking as it is already have back up in your mind. If you
do an action repeatedly will become a habit. At first you do it something consciously and
controlling all your deeds. But later it is easier for you to do it.There are different types of
habits. Some of them are simple and don’t influence us much. Some of them are very difficult to
give up and ruin your health. You want to get rid of them but you cannot because bad habits
are influence a lot that you cannot control yourself.Try to give up those bad habits which will
ruin your health.
So what to do?
i) Find out what are your bad habits if you have any.
ii) Take a decision on giving up a bad habit (one at time) and inform to all your friends and
relatives.Tell them that you are going to quit a bad habit (Telling it to others is more of thinking
to control)

6. iii) Go for alternate habit which is good for you.
iv) If you could not find an alternative, ask your friends, colleagues and mentors.
I wish you all the best guys!!
