formula for success

Schools have closed down for Summer vacation and the morning traffic jams have started thinning. Less and less time is consumed traversing from Sharjah to Dubai. However my topic today is not traffic jam but what is my formula for success. I have five point suggestions

- Put yourself first: If the activity does not relate to your advance drop it or put it on lesser priority
- Create: Every day create something new, be it new thinking, a short story or a new learning.
- Unclutter: Remove the clutter in your life activities; in your office at your home. Unclutter and

bring focus on big value activities.
- Connect: Connect with at least “10” new people every week.
- Hobby: Develop a hobby.

This formula is not about $$ but it is about getting up and looking forward to the day and getting to bed with a sound sleep.

“You have built the club; you have been the guiding force towards helping us build the club.” These were the words of Abdul Rahman President of Friends of Yoga Toastmasters club.
I stepped back, stepped back in the rewind mode……... I recall attending the early morning meetings of the club but what happened that made the difference ? I neither attempted project speeches; nor took up any role plays and never passed on the judgment. However the presence was there, presence to connect and listen to the participants. Did that make a difference ? May be and others might say may be not.
But I am beginning to believe that the presence makes a big difference; listening makes a bigger difference when person on the other side is struggling; when person on the other side is gasping for breath.
Let us continue the journey; build the club and be the guiding force by just being present when others need the most.
