Fragrance of Success

Why this blog?

These days the newspapers/magazines and news channels are generally flooded with news about scams,scandals,accidents,terror attacks,rape cases etc.People are inadvertently feeding their minds with negativism through the media.In fact there  a lot of real success stories about people doing well in competitive exams,sports,and excelling in so many fields every day in different parts of the country.These are either ignored or reported in some obscure corner of the newspaper.or shown as glimpse in some TV channel. However magazines for competitive exams publish success stories of some toppers.

Success is not measured by what you accomplish,but by the opposition you have encountered,and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.

Aamir Khan deserves applause for presenting a brave and thought provoking TV  show in which he brought up sensitive social issues before the public very effectively.The show featured problems of people and highlighted the manner in which they faced them,creating success stories in their own right.

Satyemev Jayate was an inspiration to me ,as it was a movement to change people’s mindset.

The most popular TV show  KBC presented by the legendary Amitabh Bachan featured people from different walks of life who enhanced their knowledge base and general awareness to find their way to the “hot seat”

The introductory video clips showing the profiles of the contestants featured many common people notably from the lower socioeconomic strata of society,who revealed their dreams,and also achieved them through extraordinary self belief and determination.Their success stories inspired me.

Rajiv Motivation Zone

The website and blog created by Rajiv Bajaj -an independent Consultant in marketing,Aviation and Education is really fabulous.It is packed with all the tools for motivation like thoughts,presentations,motivational posters,inspiring stories,to name just a few. The tagline of his website “Never tell me the sky is the limit, when there are footprints on the moon”is thought provoking.
