Inspiration of the Week

Live your life each day as you would climb a mountain. An occasional glance towards the summit keeps the goal in mind, but many beautiful scenes are to be observed from each new vantage point.

Book recommendation for the summer (one of the best books I’ve ever read!)

Srikumar Rao teaches a hugely popular course at both London and Columbia Business Schools. He helps his students define their personal ethics and goals, and how to reach them, and starts them on a journey that will last them a lifetime. Now, in this extraordinary book, Dr Rao’s unique approach is available to a far wider audience. Using his own unconventional methods, including exercises and lessons adapted from many traditions, he explains how to: work out who you are, and where you are going; find out how you really view the world; discover the joy of effortless action; sharpen your ability to focus; and, discover true freedom and happiness. “Are You Ready to Succeed?” is in a different league altogether from most business books already on offer. If you too would like to be in another league, this fresh, accessible and groundbreaking guide to a meaningful and successful life is the one for you.

Listening

The commonest reason for losing a customer who seemedinterested is NOT LISTENING ENOUGH. If you don’t spend
enough time and concentration on that, you are going to
miss something that the guy is telling you without trying
to tell you. And that something probably has to do with
why he is afraid, why he is hesitating, and what you are
not doing to get him over the last hurdles. – Joe Girard

Quote of the Day

“Find out what you want, imagine things as you want them, build new ideas of life, stop believing that some people are lucky and some must be poor, change your ideas and find that life is a beautiful adventure, that each day brings new opportunities to those who will lift their eyes above the everyday grind.                                                    “
-Venice Bloodworth
