Ishan Parikh presented on the topics of goal setting, positive attitude, and belief systems. Some key points included: 1) Goals provide direction and motivation in life and allow people to feel in control. Without goals, life lacks purpose and meaning. 2) Developing a positive attitude involves choosing optimism, facing problems directly, and avoiding negative comparisons. This leads to greater success, happiness, and energy. 3) Belief systems are shaped by common beliefs within social groups and can include both positive and mistaken beliefs. Developing self-belief involves connecting with one's inner strengths and abilities.

What is Goal?
In simple term Goal means a measurable LEVELS in one’s life. A ‘level’ where a person can
reach, Can achieve, Can Survive.
Ex: I am racer & will reach to the finish line before 4 minutes.
I am manager will achieve CEO position in this company.
I am soldier will survive this terrorist attack.
How a life does looks like without Goals?
"Man without a dream or a vision shall perish".
 The Goal, Ambition, Aim serves as a fuel in life. Without it man will no more considered
as a social animal it will rest just animal. We sets goals, we plans things, and we do
think. These are the concepts which suffix ‘social’ to our real name ‘animal’. Without
it we might be just animal. Or in more sophisticated language ‘NOTHING’.
 It’s like building a mess without having any final blue print of the Tower.
 How come a team can win a championship without aiming towards the championship
trophy? How can a writer write a book without having any idea about what he/she
wants to write about?
 Let us take a paper presentation as an example the organiser directed me to present
a paper with limit of 1500 to 2000 words. So what if I totally ignore that goal. I may
fall short to reach 1500 words or may go beyond 2000 words. And that is rejection of
my paper straight away.
 Would it sound right when a business man runs his business without having a goal of
profit or wealth maximization goals? If he do so i.e. if he purchases and sales without
any intention to earn profit what should he be called in the world? ‘MAD’. Correct
 The things those are done without any goals are crazy.
“Nishan Chuk Maaf. Nahi Nishan Nichu Maaf”
A popular Gujarati line. That says “If you Miss Target, it is forgivable but if you don’t even set
a target, it is not forgivable”
Goal setting

3. Ishan Parikh
Importance of Goals in Life:
We all do things for some purpose.
 Control: Goals suggest that you can control things that you have no control over.
 Increase Efficiency (Motivation): One can work more efficiently after the object is
known. One can decide an exact direction. So time & energy both can be
saved.
 Responsibility: When you set a goal, you have a responsibility to yourself to see it
through. It makes you more responsible & mature person. If you don't know
where you're going, you might not get there.
 Keeps you Busy: Aim or a goal in life drives us to do work or action and that keeps us
busy and occupied. If you do not have any work for you other will outsource
their work to you.
How to set effective goals (what are the points one should keep in mind while setting goals):
 Specific Goals: someone would say “I want to be someone” But Who? “Ab to life main
kuch karke dikhaunga” par kya? This is casual way. One should make specific
goals. This will mislead.
 Breaks between goals: After achieving specific goal one should spare some time to
review the whole process of achieving the goal and take ideas to deal with
forthcoming goals.
 Achievable goals: Goals must achievable otherwise it will pressurize a person and that
can result in non-fulfilment of the goals and big kayos.
o EX: Like if you set that exam is in November 14 and my whole Indirect tax paper
preparation is pending and you think you will do that in 15 days before the exam.
Then it will result in the big failure. One must keep ‘materiality concept’ in mind while
setting goals.
 Up gradation of goals: every time after achieving the goal one should upgrade his next
goal. It means one should select harder, complex or challenging goal than
the previous one.
“The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to
live for.”

What is Positive Attitude?
The Attitude means, ones style of dealing something*. And if he handles that (Something) in
a positive way than that can be treated as positive attitude.
*Here something can be any task, situation or problem.
How one can reach Positive Attitude state? (Qualities that a person with Positive attitude
Possesses)
 Have laughter (Happiness) (Choose bright side of life): Be the part in making your
social environment lighter always by making logical jokes and feed this line in
your mind that “haste haste katt jaye raste”.
 Confident: Be the confident whatever work is handled by you. Have faith in yourself.
 Stay Updated: Let be self-updated with the changes in the field in which one is working
or interested.
 Face the Problems: Best solution to any problem is facing the problem. One
should face the problems instead of run from it. It will answer your two
questions, 1-How to solve a particular problem? & 2- How not to stuck in to
the problem again?
 Use it before rejecting it (Optimism): Give everything at least one try. Don’t just junk it
unless experiencing it. It is how successful people can grab all the
opportunities.
 Stop Comparing: Never compare yourself with people. It points out the good parts in
the other person and makes you feel bad. Just think of all the good qualities
you have too.
o EX: What if ‘Amitabh Bacchan’ starts comparing himself with
Sachin Tendulkar that “oh no I can’t play cricket as Sachin do. My life is so
waste” It will result in big downfall in confidence and will adversely affect to
his strong point too ‘Acting’.
Positive Attitude

5. Ishan Parikh
For the purpose of the paper I referred few interview videos on YouTube of some people
who became hero from zero like ‘Bill gates’, ’Bruce lee’, ‘Will smith’, ‘Michael Pheleps’,
etc. I come to know about one known secrete to their success. Guess what? Yes ofcource
positive attitude.
Why people google these things:
How to become rich man?
How to get highest profit?
How to get a handsome pay?
How to become a famous person?
Instead of believing that, the ultimate answer for these questions is ‘POSITIVE ATTITUDE’

6. Ishan Parikh

A Short Story to explain:
Two seeds laid side by side in the rich soil.
The first seed said, "I want to grow! I want to send my roots deep into the soil beneath me,
and thrust my sprouts through the earth's crust above me ... I want to unfurl my tender
buds like banners to announce the arrival of spring ... I want to feel the warmth of the sun
on my face and the blessing of the morning dew on my petals!"
And so it grew...
The second seed said, "Hamm. If I send my roots into the ground below, I don't know what I
will encounter in the dark. If I push my way through the hard soil above me I may damage
my delicate sprouts ... what if I let my buds open and a snail tries to eat them? And if I were
to open my blossoms, a small child may pull me from the ground. No, it is much better for
me to wait until it is safe."
And so it waited...
A yard hen was scratching around in the early morning for food found the waiting seed and
promptly ate it.
“Fear less, hope more; Eat less, chew more; Whine less, breathe more; Talk less, say more;
Love more, and all good things will be yours”
(A Swedish proverb)

7. Ishan Parikh
What is meant by Belief System?
The system made of collective & correlated Belief of people. Belief systems are tools for the
social conditioning rather than expression of inner realisation.
These Belief systems works as groups in the real life.
Ex: Why only Hindu belief in lord Krishna, why Muslims in Allah, & Cristian in Jesus. It is a religious
belief system drives that.
Someday a Hindu might have meet someone who also believe in lord Krishna so they tagged
together and unintentionally started to create a huge belief system which called Hinduism.
Can Mistakes (wrong mechanism) be a part of Belief system?
Sometimes mistakes can also create belief system in greater extent if it is largely accepted. See it is
all about the ‘common belief’ not ‘common right belief’. If there is a group of the people who thinks
in a same wrong way then it can create a new belief system Ex: Al-kayda.
Ex: When someone made mistake in writing abbreviation of number as No. all started doing that. So
it is the relation of the related thoughts. I mean someone told you that “Oh I thought like that” and
you say “Oh that I too think like that you thought like” Then congratulations you two are part of
belief system.
What is Self-Belief System?
Self-belief is developed from inside, it’s your power base of energy that you were born with.
Most people are unaware they have this power, this energy centre, from which all your self-
belief and confidence grows.
How to develop self-belief system:
 Connect to silence within you: When you connect to the silence within you that is whenyou
can make sense of the abilities and weakness of you.
 Try fear out of you: When you do what you fear most, then you can do anything.
Belief System

8. Ishan Parikh
 Dream and Do: One should not just view good dream but also give their efforts to make it
true too. Because imaginationary is ultimately imaginationary and reality remains
reality.
 Appreciate yourself: Be thankful for what you have. You will end up having more. If you
concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough. So
appreciate whatever you got your talent & your plus.
 Be Original: Be the ways that you are. Don’t copy someone else’s style. Because by this you
are abolishing yourself. BE THE YOU.
 Ignore Negative: Ignore negative comments which makes your confidence down. People will
make negative comments on your failure as well as success. If it is India then I bet
you it will go often. But you should stick to the positive ones.
Benefits of Self Belief:
 Catch all the Opportunities: When you start to belief yourself you can magnify the
forthcoming opportunities.
o Ex: When a cricketer (Batsman) start to be confident and believing their self that it is
said that he starts seeing a cricket ball as football and can hit well.
 Creativity: Creativity is something which is new experiments. And that will only come if you
stop copying someone and try to believe yourself.
 Social Ease: People will start loving you and appreciating you. It is well said that people will
love you only if you love yourself. People will believe you only if you believe yourself.
 Happiness: Of course the above all the things happens the ultimate result is happiness. We
all do whatever we do for the happiness only.
So that is it.
Take up one more step towards your more confident, refreshing and adventurous life.
Thank You.
