Mind is like a parachute – it functions only when it is open

Know Your Value

A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a Rupee 500 note.
In the room of 200, he asked, "Who would like this Rupee 500 note?".

Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this note to one of you but first let me do this." He proceeded to crumple the note up. He then asked, "Who still wants it?". Still the hands were up in the air. "Well," he replied, "What if I do this?". And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty. "Now who still wants it?". Still the hands went into the air. "My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth Rupee 500/-. Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.

You are special. Don't ever forget it! Never let yesterday's disappointments overshadow tomorrow's dreams.

"VALUE HAS A VALUE ONLY IF ITS VALUE IS VALUED"

Most Common Mistake that occurs frequently

The most common mistake that people make is - jumping to conclusion without proper analysis of the situation.

When a decision needs to be taken on the approach to a problem, one has to consider all (or atleast all the important) parameters that would affect the problem space before taking a decision on the approach to the problem. But most often, people tend to take decisions based on the parameters that they are more conversent with and these decisions prove to be a short-lived one.
