The Essential TruthLiving life is about making choices:

Choosing to be a “Victim” Or choosing to be a “Master”

Both stances are subject to the same givens of society, environment, organization etc.

But have very different implications in terms of your development and happiness

Who’re You?Victims• Complain about what

happened• Think of excuses• Blame others• Lose hope & give up• Perish

Masters• Say, “What can I do about it?”• Think of solutions• Own responsibility• Have courage to try new ways• Win, even if they fail

Choose wisely because it is your life

Price of Success•Success, like everything else, has a price. • It is essential therefore that we:

• Define ‘Success’• Are clear about the investment • Are willing to pay that price

Because nothing in life is free

My success depends on How serious am I about success? Am I willing to invest? Am I willing to change? Can I stick through the pain?

Success is inevitable but only for those who really want it

4. Perseverance 5. Inspire others 6. Measure results

19To benefit you have to pay the price

1.Discipline• Discipline is to accept that success is inevitable but only for those who want it seriously• Discipline is to do what needs to be done – not only what you like to do• Discipline is to seek feedback and listen to what you need to hear

21Practice makes permanent not perfect

2.Passion for the goal• Great success needs heroic effort• Passion fuels heroic effort• Passion is to revel in the journey• Passion is the joy of the struggle • Passion is highly infectious

23Passion is itself the payoff

3.Courage• To care more than others think is wise • To risk more than others think is safe • To challenge yourself unnecessarily• Pick your battles because not everything is worth fighting for

25To take the unpopular stand

26

4.Perseverance• Those who win the race are often those who stayed in it long enough• To own mistakes and learn from them• To generate alternatives infinitely• To take the pain

27Perseverance is a factor of confidence

Structured learning• Rovio made Angry Birds and people said, ‘Wow!

it's an overnight success.’• 2 billion downloads, 200 million minutes/day• Actually they'd been working eight years and it

was their 52nd game. • They succeeded because they consciously learned

51 timesWhat do you do with

mistakes?

5.Inspire others• Because you can’t succeed alone• Do because of who you are, not because of who is watching• Convert one way to two way (WiiFM)

30Become extraordinary because ordinary is..

32

6.Measure Results• Because success is a number• Because it is eminently possible to fool yourself –

metrics are the protection• Metrics energize and encourage• Metrics are the early warning system• Measure yourself relentlessly

33Only what you can measure, exists

Life is Math•Life is an equation

2 + 4 = 6• We control one side of it only but by changing the number we write, we can get the result we want

Development is a product of thought, not time
