Love What You Do!

"Success is not the key to happiness.

 Happiness is the key to success.

 If you love what you are doing, you will be successful."

"Love your job but don't love your Company,

because you may not know

when your company stops loving you." 

"Don't read success stories, you will only get a message.

 Read failure stories, you will get some ideas to get success."

- Dr. Abdul Kalam

Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle.

This is your life. Do what you love, and do it often -

1. If you don't like something, change it 
2. If you don't have enough time, stop watching TV.
3. If you are looking for the love of your life, STOP; they will be waiting for you when you start doing things you love
4. Live your dream, and wear your passion
5. Travel often; getting lost will help you find yourself
6. Life is about the people you meet, and the things you create with them. So go out and start creating.

"LIFE IS SHORT, LIVE YOUR DREAM, AND WEAR YOUR PASSION."

 

Face Down Your Fear of Failure and Come Out Stronger on the Other Side

1. Get Real With Yourself
Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

2. Calculate the Price of Inaction
You can never get an 'A' if you're afraid of getting an 'F'.

3. Build and Flex Your "Brave" Muscle
"Brave muscle", like any other muscle, you need to actively work to improve it. One way to do that is to take on an extracurricular activity that'll help you conquer something that scares you. Afraid to speak up in meetings for fear of saying something wrong? Sign up for an improve class or force yourself to do karaoke.

4. Fake it, Till You Make It
Confidence can be faked, and it's not always a terrible thing to do. A lot of times if people feel you're confident, then they're confident.

5. Visualize Success, Instead of Failure
Visualization works if you work hard. That's the thing. You can't just visualize and go eat a sandwich.

6. Live Like You Just Hit Rock Bottom
Rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I built my life.

7. Fail Forward
You can do the same and then use that knowledge to stay strong and lay the groundwork for future success. And remember that just because you failed, doesn't mean you're a failure.

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do.
