The Real Reason Apple is so Innovative

For decades, competitors and consumers have pondered how Apple has reached (and continues to reach) such heightened levels of success and innovation. But it only took Simon Sinek eighteen minutes to explain it at a TED event. And, according to him, it’s all about the why, not the how. Most computer companies start with claims that they make great products. Apple, on the other hand, tells you why they build computers. Watch Sinek in action below. He’s got a smart theory that’s worth a listen.

Music- Notes of Inspiration

Over the years, I have come to realize that Music has had a tremendous impact on my Life, I am actually addicted to the right kind of Music that keeps me in sync with my Life! And the feeling is amazing!

Music can have a big Impact on a person, it has the ability to trigger so many different emotions in us.The words in a song combined with a collaboration of different instruments playing, all work together to create a certain kind of feeling. I am sure some of you have experienced this and the feeling is crazy! The best part is that the artist want their listeners to understand and relate to the song and that is what I call music that triggers emotions. I actually feel that listening to songs with positive lyrics and meaningful content has alot of impact on our life.

How Inspiration Should Work

The other day I was pondering over something that made me think so much and this is what I figured out -

Some people will be inspired to start of with but may not be motivated to do anything and others will be inspred, they will be motivated but they take no action. This in itself is an ineffective kind of inspiration, one that we feel for a small amount of time but it materialises into nothing. The best type of inspiration is one that consists of all three of these factors- 


Inspiration...Motivation...Action, You are Inspired by something or someone,which Motivates you to do something, you decide to take Action and that action turns the ideas from your inspiration into reality.

We should mould our mindset into taking action after being Inspired & not just procrastinate.

FEAR? What's that?

Have you ever felt that you could do so much more with your life and your talents if you could just overcome fear? What is it that you are truly afraid of and how is it keeping you from getting what you really want? What if you could overcome it this year? What kind of momentum could you create in your life? If you are interested in mastering fear for good and getting what you are truly after in your life, you are about to learn the key which can lead you where you want to go.

The first step is to define what you are afraid of. Too often, we try to master fear by not confronting it and trying to deny it or cover it up. The very principle of fear is that it keeps you from meeting something head on. If you refuse to meet fear head on and continue to try and bypass it, it is going to continue to grow independent of your interference. Sit down and clearly write out what it is that you are afraid of.

Believe in Yourself

There comes a phase in life where u want certain things so bad...That u keep asking & asking, feeling it's the right time to recieve them but they dont materialize at the time you want them to...

Why?

At first i didnt understand the philosophy to this, but as the years flew by I understood one thing, everything has it's right moment, it's right purpose, & it's right reason to occur.

I believe that whatever you want in life...you should just keep asking & asking without a doubt & BELIEVE that it will materialize & at the same time don't be laidback assuming it will take place effortlessly. You should do whatever it takes if it's important to you. Take action, chase it coz its no ones but yours & only for you.  I will never forget this moment where I set my eyes on my dream bike. I tried every possible way to save up for it. Requested my mom to put in half the amount.

Problems Are a Normal Part of Change

When asked, “How do you develop mental toughness in life?” my response might sound negative at first. I say, “Always be prepared for a surprise. The surprise might be a negative surprise. Something is going to happen in your day, whether you are late because you got stuck behind a train or your car had a flat tire—something is going to happen.

Problems are a normal part of change. Things are changing so rapidly that there are going to be problems you face. So you must look at failure as an event, not as a person. I’m not a failure. Maybe I’ve had a failure or a temporary inconvenience. I’ve had a stumbling block, and the idea is to turn the stumbling block into a steppingstone, and step on it instead of stumble over it. So look at failure as the fertilizer of success.

Fertilizer stinks, it smells. You see that guy putting it on his lawn and you say, “Wow, that guy fertilized his lawn.” You fertilize your mistakes. You don’t wallow in them, lay in them, roll in them; you pick yourself up off your mistakes and learn from them. You try not to repeat that same thing again. But you look at it as a temporary inconvenience, as a detour—a detour in life—not as a failure.

Never Ever Give up on Yourself

THE FERN AND THE BAMBOO

ONE DAY I DECIDED TO QUIT...

I QUIT MY JOB, MY RELATIONSHIP, MY SPIRITUALITY....

I WANTED TO QUIT MY LIFE.

I WENT TO THE WOODS TO HAVE ONE LAST TALK WITH GOD.

"God", I said. "Can you give me one good reason not to quit?"

His answer surprised me.

 "Look around", He said. "Do you see the fern and the bamboo?"

 "Yes", I replied.

 "When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of
them. I gave them light. I gave them water.
The fern quickly grew from the earth. Its brilliant green covered the
floor. Yet nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo.

 "In the second year the fern grew more vibrant and plentiful. And again,
nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo.

 "In year three there was still nothing from the bamboo seed. But I would
not quit. The same in year four.

Appreciation...It can change someone's perspective !

Early this evening I was sitting at a coffee shop, sipping my favourite coffee & nibbling on a sinful chocolate cake & hearing my true friend speak about his achievements in his leadership career!

He mentioned a moment where he being the youngest team leader & his team being the highest headcount of seventeen in the process -they got an appreciation by the head manager of the company (from UK) for their work- in the history of 4 years of that process. Wow! What a feeling! You should have seen the enthusiastic smile on my friend's face -Unforgetable!


Each & Every person wants to be appreciated for what they do & what they believe in. Sometimes when you don't get appreciated for the best you've done....it hurts ! It really does. Everyone, deep down within longs for an appreciation for various things they do.

So whether big or small, always genuinenly appreciate what others do for you or otherwise also.

Focus on Change

As my eyes follow the black text of my IT books, i wonder how can i become a better person? How can i get to my greatness? & im sure everyone here wants the same.


I realized one thing....it's all about the mindset you carry, because what you think in your mind is the way you portrait yourself to others. Right?? Rather than having your mind wander around things that aint important at this very moment...Focus all your energy on what is important and on what you want.


Sometimes it is easy to feel we have no real control on the direction that our lives are going in and this can leave us feeling helpless and depressed as it becomes hard to see any way possible that the situations and circumstances will change. But, there is a way that you can make those changes happen and take control of the direction that your life is heading in and begin to manifest the results that you want to have and to see. You really can become a much more powerful and successful version of yourself.

Concentration

The best advice I came across on the subject of Concentration.

Wherever you are and whatever you are doing, be there, be present.

When you work, work. When you play, play. Don’t mix the two.

Give whatever you are doing and whoever you are with the gift of attention. If you give the gift of attention, you will receive more attention in return and it feels really nice and appreciated for either.

On the way to work, concentrate on what you are doing - not the work.

Pay attention and give attention. Don’t just drift through the day with no direction and your thoughts going in all directions.
