The Rolls Royce Story

One day, during his visit to London, King Jai Singh was walking around Bond Street in casual dress. There he saw Rolls Royce showroom and went inside. There he looked at cars and then inquired about price and features of cars.

When Salesman looked at him and saw his casual Indian Attire, he considered him just another poor Indian citizen and insulted him and almost showed him way out of his showroom.

After this insult, King Jai Singh didn’t said anything to Salesman at that time but went back to his hotel room and asked his servants to make call to showroom and tell them that King of Alwar, India is interested in purchasing their cars.

Call was made and everyone at showroom prepared for welcome of King.

After few hours, King went to Rolls Royce showroom again but this time, he went with his full astonishing Royal manner and in his Royal costume. Until he reached there was a red carpet ready on floor of showroom to welcome him.

All salesmen were bent with respect. King Jai Singh purchased all six cars, that they had at showroom at that time and paid full amount with delivery costs.

Salesmen at showroom were really happy about sales but no one knew what was coming in near future.

After reaching India, King ordered municipal department of his city to use all those six Rolls Royce cars for cleaning and transporting city’s waste.

World’s number one Rolls Royce cars, luxury cars which were so costly that common people couldn’t even afford to buy in America/ Europe, were now being used as transportation vehicle for city’s waste. This news spread all over the world rapidly and reputation of company was in drains.

Company’s image was so ruined in Europe and America that if someone used to boast about owning a Rolls Royce, people would laugh and make fun of them saying, “Which one? Same that is being used in India for carrying waste of city.”

Due to such reputation damages, sales of Rolls Royce dropped rapidly and revenue of company owners started falling down.

Company had to do something to save it’s reputation. They sent a Telegram to the King Jai Singh in India for apologies and requested to stop transportation of waste in Rolls Royce cars. Not only this but they also offered Six new cars to king free of cost.

When King Jai Singh observed that Rolls Royce has learnt a lesson and they are sorry for their Mistakes, King stopped using those cars for carrying wastes.

स्वामी विवेकानंद के जीवन के 3 प्रेरक प्रसंग

लक्ष्य पर ध्यान लगाओ 

स्वामी विवेकानंद अमेरिका में भ्रमण कर रहे थे . एक जगह से गुजरते हुए उन्होंने पुल पर खड़े  कुछ लड़कों को नदी में तैर रहे अंडे के छिलकों पर बन्दूक से निशाना लगाते देखा . किसी भी लड़के का एक भी निशाना सही नहीं लग रहा था . तब उन्होंने ने एक लड़के से बन्दूक ली और खुद निशाना लगाने लगे . उन्होंने पहला निशाना लगाया और वो बिलकुल सही लगा ….. फिर एक के बाद एक उन्होंने कुल 12 निशाने लगाये और सभी बिलकुल सटीक लगे . ये देख लड़के दंग रह गए और उनसे पुछा , ” भला आप ये कैसे कर लेते हैं ?”

स्वामी जी बोले , “तुम जो भी कर रहे हो अपना पूरा दिमाग उसी एक काम में लगाओ. अगर तुम निशाना लगा रहे हो तो तम्हारा पूरा ध्यान सिर्फ अपने लक्ष्य पर होना चाहिए. तब तुम कभी चूकोगे नहीं . अगर तुम अपना पाठ पढ़ रहे हो तो सिर्फ पाठ के बारे में सोचो . मेरे देश में बच्चों को ये करना सिखाया जाता है. ”

डर का सामना 

एक बार बनारस में स्वामी जी दुर्गा जी के मंदिर से निकल रहे थे की तभी वहां मौजूद  बहुत सारे बंदरों ने उन्हें घेर लिया. वे उनके नज़दीक आने लगे और डराने लगे . स्वामी जी भयभीत हो गए और खुद को बचाने के लिए दौड़ कर भागने लगे, पर बन्दर तो मानो पीछे ही पड़ गए, और वे उन्हें दौडाने लगे. पास खड़ा एक वृद्ध सन्यासी ये सब देख रहा था , उसने स्वामी जी को रोका और बोला , ” रुको ! उनका सामना करो !”

स्वामी जी तुरन्त पलटे  और बंदरों के तरफ बढ़ने लगे , ऐसा करते ही सभी बन्दर भाग गए . इस घटना से स्वामी जी को एक गंभीर सीख मिली और कई सालों बाद उन्होंने एक संबोधन में कहा भी – ” यदि तुम कभी किसी चीज से भयभीत हो तो उससे भागो मत , पलटो और सामना करो.”

सच बोलने की हिम्मत

स्वामी विवेकानंदा प्रारंभ से ही एक मेधावी छात्र थे और सभी उनके व्यक्तित्व और वाणी से प्रभावित  रहते थे. जब वो साथी छात्रों से कुछ बताते तो सब मंत्रमुग्ध हो उन्हें सुनते. एक दिन इंटरवल के दौरान वो कक्षा में कुछ मित्रों को कहानी सुना रहे थे , सभी उनकी बातें सुनने में इतने मग्न थे की उन्हें पता ही नहीं चला की कब मास्टर जी कक्षा में आये और पढ़ाना शुरू कर दिया.

मास्टर जी ने अभी पढ़ना शुरू ही किया था कि उन्हें कुछ फुसफुसाहट सुनाई दी.

” कौन बात कर रहा है ?” उन्होंने तेज आवाज़ में पूछा . सभी ने स्वामी जी और उनके साथ बैठे छात्रों किई तरफ इशारा कर दिया.

मास्टर जी  तुरंत क्रोधित हो गए, उन्होंने तुरंत उन छात्रों को बुलाया और  पाठ से संबधित एक प्रश्न पूछने लगे. जब कोई भी उत्तर न दे सका ,तब अंत में मास्टर जी ने  स्वामी जी से भी वही प्रश्न किया . पर स्वामी जी तो मानो सब कुछ पहले से ही जानते हों , उन्होंने आसानी से उत्तर दे दिया.

यह देख उन्हें यकीन हो गया कि स्वामी जी पाठ पर ध्यान दे रहे थे और बाकी छात्र बात-चीत में लगे हुए थे. फिर क्या था उन्होंने स्वामी जी को छोड़ सभी को बेंच पर खड़े होने की सजा दे दी . सभी छात्र एक -एक कर बेच पर खड़े होने लगे, स्वामी जे ने भी यही किया.

तब मास्टर जी बोले, ” नरेन्द्र (स्वामी विवेकानंद )) तुम बैठ जाओ.”

” नहीं सर , मुझे भी खड़ा होना होगा क्योंकि वो मैं ही था जो इन छात्रों से बात कर रहा था.”,स्वामी जी ने आग्रह किया.

What Ego demands & does to you?

What Ego demands & does to you?

The ego is the mind’s identity of our own construction, an identity which is false. We are more than just the mind. If we take all the beliefs of what we are – beliefs about our personality, talents, and abilities – we have the structure of our ego. These talents, abilities and aspects of our personality will be attributes of our skills, but the mental construct of our “self” is artificial. And while this description might make the ego seem like a static thing, it is not. Rather, it is an active and dynamic part of our personalities, playing an immense role in creating emotional drama in our lives.

I know in the initial stages, when I used to teach, the results we used to produce. It's not that it didn't get into the head. It did. There was a period I used to walk around, thinking that I was doing great things in life. One story and one incident changed my life. Even before we go into human engineering, I would love, if this story and this incident can also transform your life.

It seems, a crow was flying holding a piece of meat between its beak. And very soon, it saw many other birds were chasing the crow. The further and further it kept flying, more and more birds were chasing, till it eventually occurred to the crow, "They are all not chasing me. They are chasing the piece of meat I am holding between my beak."

It opened and dropped that piece of meat, and as that piece of meat was falling, all the other birds went after that falling piece of meat. Alone in the sky, it seems the crow remarked, "In dropping that piece of meat, I gained the freedom of the skies. The entire sky became mine." And that piece of meat in our life, is our ego. We think the world is against us.

We think the world is nasty with us, we think the world is hurting us.

But it is actually the ego which is going through all these things. I'm not giving you a very sophisticated philosophy. I'm just sharing with you a very simple understanding.

When ego comes, everything else, including your peace of mind, goes. When ego comes, everything else goes, when ego goes, everything else comes. The freedom with which you can live your life, because as long as your ego involved with the world, you have to live your life as if your own shadow is chasing you! You live in this eternal need to prove yourself to the world, which you don't have to!

You're accountable to your creator, not to every next stranger you cross in life. You're accountable to your conscience. You're accountable to truth. You're accountable to the magnificence with which you have been created as a human being. But we live our life in this eternal need to prove ourselves to every individual, not realizing, if you expect everybody to be happy with you, you can never be at peace with yourself, because it's impractical that everybody can be happy with you.

And yet, your ego puts this demand on you!

So, all I request is, before you realize, drop all your labels, drop all your ego identities & live a cheerful life.

Thank you so much Guys.

Try to fall & stay in love with yourself

Practicing self-love and self-care can seem extravagant—especially when we feel like our jobs are beating us down or we’re not doing enough for the kids or our houses are a mess. You need to know that you’re enough. You are complete with or without a partner. You are enough just as you are.

Instead of allowing the world to dictate how we feel about ourselves, focusing on self-care, positive encouragement, and self-love can help increase our self-esteem and self-confidence. So what does self-care mean exactly? It can be different things to different people. For you, it could be surrounding yourself with anti-anxiety remedies like lavender and practicing mindfulness. Perhaps it's making sure you have time to exercise. Obviously, eating right will make you feel better.

The juice that comes out of a fruit depends on the fruit. What's within you will come out when life squeezes you which means that internal having is as important as external having and two essential changes that has to come to that internal having is one you got to love yourself. You will not be able to celebrate any relationship in life. You will not be able to cherish any relationship in life. You will not be able to enjoy any relationship in life unless you begin to love yourself. Do not define yourself by how you look, color of your skin, your height, your weight, your size, your length of hair, sharpness of nose, color of your eyes. This is not you that is just the surface of you. You are far more than that, you are much more than that once you start doing something worthwhile in life to nobody in the world it matters how you look. Have you ever thought about whether Mother Teresa is beautiful or not. Each one of you would say she is beautiful based on her physical looks. It doesn't matter to you how she looks. Your grandmother is beautiful, I don't think I've ever heard from anybody in the world till today my grandmother is not beautiful. Now, is it based on looks your grandmother is beautiful because she is a beautiful person not based on how she looks even today. Don't you admire when your grandfather speaks to you without all that a few people. Don't you enjoy why his looks do not matter to you then why at teenage, twenty-one and twenty-two or even 50 years of age, you define yourself by your looks. It's a fading phenomena. You look like a princess one day and lolled turn gray another day. You will have a flawless skin one day and it will all turn into wrinkles another day you can have a complexion which radiates through your skin one day and another day it is gone. It is not how the bottle looks from outside its how the bottle looks from inside that really matters just because all the perfume bottle looks very sexy can you drink what is inside it you cannot know and just make us your what is that bottles you buy we're used store water, Tupperware now doesn't matter how it looks because it's clean inside you will still drink the contents the bottle has to be clean from inside and one of the ways by which the bottle has to be clean from inside us you got to start loving yourself and two you got to be happy with yourself rather than thinking you can make everybody happy in the world and rather than thinking that everybody can be happy in the world. At least, try on one thing be happy with yourself and contribute one more happy person to this world and remove one more happy person in the world and once you become happy with yourself in your presence lot more people will be happy than nothing and because you are a happy person lot more people will be happy with you than they are right now. Self love and self happiness is the first step in the journey of life. Am I happy with myself? Am I able to love myself?These are few steps in the journey of life. Learn to love yourself. Be happy with yourself and see that the world will be enjoying you lot more than it is doing right now and you will be able to enjoy yourself a lot more then you're doing it right now.

You have to love yourself before you can ever truly love anyone else, If you don’t love yourself how can you expect others to love you? If you don’t love yourself, you might accept a type of love that is less than what you deserve. At times it can feel like it’s easier to love others than it is to love ourselves. We can give amazing advice to other people about how they can develop their own self-esteem, but when that conversation is over we can still struggle with loving ourselves. We can give great advice to others and talk to them in such a thoughtful and empowering way, but then when we talk to ourselves; we’re not thoughtful, we’re hurtful. And, instead of encouraging ourselves, we’re blaming ourselves for our past. We’ve all been there, laying in bed in the middle of the night beating ourselves up. But the good news is, we can change how we think about and talk to ourselves. You can feel good about yourself.

One of the most important lessons we can learn in life is to love ourselves because how we treat our self, will directly impact how we treat others. Our confidence will come from self love. Our compassion and empathy will come from our ability to forgive and see the best in our on self. Reading about self love can become mantras and change the way you speak to yourself. Loving yourself is not a selfish act, but it’s a fundamental skill to generate the strength needed to love others.

Thank you so much Guys. Stay Fit, Take Care & Keep Smiling. God Bless !!

मैडम का गुस्सा

एक बहुत ही सुंदर सी राजकुमारी थी , उसको गुस्सा बहुत ज्यादा आता था | उसके गुस्से से घर के सारे लोग बहुत ही परेशान रहा करते थे , लेकिन उसका गुस्सा कभी कम ही नहीं होता था | एक दिन जब घर के सारे लोग उससे परेशान हो गए तो सबने मिलकर उसके पिता को यह बात बताया| उसके पिता जी जब यह बात सुने तो उनको भी बहुत ही ज्यादा दुःख हुआ , उन्होंने ठान लिया की अब इसका गुस्सा कम करने का कोई न कोई रास्ता निकालना पड़ेगा | एक दिन उसने अपनी बेटी को बुलाया और बोला मे आप के साथ एक गेम खेलना चाहता हू | लडकी बहुत ही ज्यादा खुश हो गयी और बोली क्यों नहीं पिता जी | उसके पापा ने बोला – तुमको जब भी किसी पर गुस्सा आएगा तुम दीवार पर एक कील ठोक देना और जिस दिन गुस्सा न आये दीवार की एक कील निकाल देना | लडकी ने बोला ठीक है पापा , लेकिन आप को गेम जीतने के बाद बहुत ही अच्छा सा गिफ्ट देना होगा || उसके पापा बोले ठीक है |

पहले ही दिन लडकी को खूब गुस्सा आया और उसने दस कील दीवार मे लगा दिया | अगले दिन कुछ और , फिर धीरे – धीरे घर के बहुत सारे लोग उससे बात करना बंद कर दिया | अब वह बहुत ही शांत रहती थी और कुछ टाइम बीत जाने के बाद उसका गुसा कम होते गया और अब वह एक – एक करके सब कील निकालने लगी | ऐसा करते – करते काफी टाइम बीत गया और एक दिन सब कील दीवार से नीकल गयी और अब उसका गुस्सा भी बहुत कम हो चुका था |

जब सब कील निकल गयी तो वह एकदम बदल चुकी थी और अपने पापा के पास जाकर बोली पापा मैं तो यह गेम जीत गयी | तो उसके पापा ने समझाया कि बेटी देखो जो कील तुमने दीवार पर लगाया था और अब नीकाल दिया वहा कितना दरार पड़ गया है | इसी तरह तुम जब भी किसी से गुस्सा करती हो तो समझ लो कि तुम अपने रिश्ते मे एक दीवार खड़ी कर देती हो |लड़की को यह बात समझ आ गयी थी और वह रोते हुए

बोली यही है मेरा सबसे बड़ा गिफ्ट, अब मैं किसी पर भी गुस्सा नहीं करूंगीी

तो दोस्तों इस कहानी से हम लोगो को यही सीख मिलता है की गुस्सा इंसान को कुछ भी करा सकता है , इसलिए गुस्सा को छोड़ देने मे ही भलाई है ||

अनोखी साइकिल रेस

अनोखी साइकिल रेस Importance of Teamwork

टीम के साथ मिलकर काम करने की महत्ता बताती हिंदी कहानी 

अमर एक multi national company का ग्रुप लीडर था। काम करते-करते उसे अचानक ऐसा लगा की उसके टीम में मतभेद बढने लगे हैं। और सभी एक-दूसरे को नीचा दिखाने में लगे हुए हैं। इससे निबटने के लिए उसने एक तरकीब सोची।

उसने एक meeting बुलाई और team members से कहा –

Sunday को आप सभी के लिए एक साइकिल race का आयोजन किया जा रहा है। कृपया सब लोग सुबह सात बजे अशोक नगर चौराहे पर इकठ्ठा हो जाइएगा।

तय समय पर सभी अपनी-अपनी साइकलों पर इकठ्ठा हो गए।

अमर ने एक-एक करके सभी को अपने पास बुलाया और उन्हें उनका लक्ष्य बता कर स्टार्टिंग लाइन पर तैयार रहने को कहा। कुछ ही देर में पूरी टीम रेस के लिए तैयार थी, सभी काफी उत्साहित थे और रूटीन से कुछ अलग करने के लिए अमर को थैंक्स कर रहे थे।

अमर ने सीटी बजायी और रेस शुरू हो गयी।

Boss को impress करने के लिए हर कोई किसी भी कीमत पर रेस जीतना चाहता था। रेस शुरू होते ही सड़क पर अफरा-तफरी मच गयी… कोई दाएं से निकल रहा था तो कोई बाएँ से… कई तो आगे निकलने की होड़ में दूसरों को गिराने से भी नहीं चूक रहे थे।

इस हो-हल्ले में किसी ने अमर के निर्देशों का ध्यान ही नहीं रखा और भेड़ चाल चलते हुए सबसे आगे वाले साइकिलिस्ट के पीछे-पीछे भागने लगे।

पांच मिनट बाद अमर ने फिर से सीटी बजायी और रेस ख़त्म करने का निर्देश दिया। एका -एक सभी को रेस से पहले दिए हुए निर्देशों का ध्यान आया और सब इधर-उधर भागने लगे। लेकिन अमर ने उन्हें रोकते हुए अपने पास आने का इशारा किया।

सभी बॉस के सामने मुंह लटकाए खड़े थे और रेस पूरी ना कर पाने के कारण एक-दूसरे को दोष दे रहे थे।

अमर ने मुस्कुराते हुए अपनी टीम की ओर देखा और कहा-

“अरे क्या हुआ? इस टीम में तो एक से एक चैंपियन थे पर भला क्यों कोई भी व्यक्ति इस अनोखी साइकिल  रेस को पूरा नहीं कर सका?”

अमर ने बोलना जारी रखा- “मैं बताता हूँ क्या हुआ….दरअसल आप में से किसी ने भी अपने लक्ष्य की तरफ ध्यान ही नही दिया। अगर आप सभी ने सिर्फ अपने लक्ष्य पर ध्यान दिया होता तो आप सभी विजेता बन गये होते , क्योंकि सभी व्यक्ति का target अलग-अलग था। सभी को अलग-अलग गलियों में जाना था। हर किसी का लक्ष्य भिन्न था। आपस में कोई मुकाबला था ही नही।

लेकिन आप लोग सिर्फ एक दूसरे को नीचा दिखाने में लगे रहे, जबकि आपने अपने लक्ष्य को तो ठीक से समझा ही नही। ठीक यही माहौल हमारी टीम का हो गया है। आप सभी के अंदर वह अनोखी बात है, जिसकी वजह से टीम को आप की जरुरत है। लेकिन आपसी unhealthy competition के कारण ना ही टीम और ना ही आप का विकास हो पा रहा है। आने वाला आपका कल, आपके हाथ में है। हम या तो एक-दूसरे की ताकत बन कर एक-दूसरे को विकास के पथ पर ले जा सकते है या आपसी competition के चक्कर में अपना और दूसरों का समय व्यर्थ कर सकते है।

मेरी आप सबसे यही request है कि एक individual की तरह नहीं बल्कि एक team की तरह काम करिए…याद रखिये individual performer बनने से कहीं ज्यादा ज़रूरी एक team-player बनना है।” 

Office Office - A Short Motivational Story to Inspire Great Teamwork

A team of about 35 employees had come together for a team building event. They were a young, bright and enthusiastic team.

However, one big problem this team had was they wouldn’t share information or solutions with each other. The leader felt they were too focused on self and not enough on team.

So she started off with a fun team activity that would allow her to teach the importance of each team member working together and sharing more.

She brought the team into the cafeteria. All of the tables and chairs had been stacked and put away. Placed around the room were fun decorations and hundreds of different colored balloons.

Everyone was excited, but not sure what it was all about. In the center of the room was a big box of balloons that had not been blown up yet.

The team leader asked each person to pick a balloon, blow it up and write their name on it. But they were instructed to be careful because the balloon could pop!

A few balloons did indeed pop and those members of the team were given another chance, but were told that if the balloon popped again they were out of the game.

About 30 team members were able to get their name on a balloon without it popping. Those 30 were asked to leave their balloons and exit the room. They were told they had qualified for the second round.

Five minutes later the leader brought the team back into the room and announced that their next challenge was to find the balloon they had left behind with their name on it among the hundreds of other balloons scattered in the large cafeteria. She warned them however to be very careful and not to pop any of the balloons. If they did, they would be disqualified.

While being very careful, but also trying to go as quickly as they could, each team member looked for the balloon with their name. After 15 minutes not one single person was able to find their balloon. The team was told that the second round of the game was over and they were moving onto the third round.

In this next round the leader told the team members to find any balloon in the room with a name on it and give it to the person whose name was on it. Within a couple of minutes every member of the team had their balloon with their own name on it.

The team leader made the following point: “We are much more efficient when we are willing to share with each other. And we are better problem solvers when we are working together, not individually.”

Often times members of teams create obstacles that get in the way of teamwork by solely focusing on their own pursuits and goals. They hoard information, avoid collaboration and distance themselves. It is bad for the team and it is bad for that individual.

Every member of a team should ask themselves on a regular basis what they are doing for the team  and can do for the team my dear Friends.

Stay Fit, Take Care & Keep Smiling :-)
