How & What Mindset build a better world?.

As a general rule, it’s more profitable to leverage your strengths than it is to fix your weaknesses.

This is especially true when we are talking about skills: focus on what you do well, and let someone else do the stuff that you struggle with.

There’s one huge exception to this general rule however: bad mindsets.

A bad mindset is not just any ordinary weakness, it is a criticalweakness that will hamstring your effectiveness if you don’t address it.

One example of an unhealthy mindset is the scarcity mindset. The scarcity mindset views things like wealth, success, and fame as something like a pie. There’s only so much to go around and if one person takes too big of a slice, everyone else gets less.

In this worldview, Bill Gates is inherently evil, regardless of how much good that he has done for society, regardless of how much he has helped others, both through his products and through his foundation. He’s evil because he took too big of a slice and didn’t leave enough for the rest of us.

To whatever extent you find yourself resenting rich and successful people, you have a scarcity mindset.

To whatever extent you find it difficult to be truly, genuinely happy for the success of others, you have a scarcity mindset.

The alternative to a scarcity mindset is an abundance mindset . The abundance mindset says that we can create more value for everyone. Instead of viewing wealth and success as a zero-sum game, we can create win-win situations where everyone comes out better than they were before.

If you have a scarcity mindset, you will find it hard to collaborate with others because their gains are your losses. If you have an abundance mindset you will readily collaborate with others because you recognize that you can create more value that way.

That phrase “create value” is crucial to the abundance mindset. Value, and thus wealth, doesn’t just exist, it can be created. We’re not limited to dividing up the pie we currently have. We can make the pie bigger. We can make new pieces.

In fact, if you really want to get ahead, the way to do so is not by looking out only for your interests, but the interests of others.

Instead of suspiciously hoarding all you have to offer until you see an opportunity to leverage it for profit, the best strategy is to be generous. Generous with your time, generous with your knowledge, generous with your skills.

If you really think hard about how exactly the people who are making a full-time living online are doing it, the simplest answer is generosity. They pour their time and energy into creating valuable content that helps people and they build a following of true fans — people who trust them and are grateful for their contributions. When they finally release a product, they have legions of eager customers.

I once heard Darren Rowse, the blogger behind Digital Photography school and a ProBlogger , describe his first product. It was an ebook called “31 Days to Build a Better Blog.” It wasn’t new material. He had already done a series on his blog called “31 Ways to Build a Better Blog” and just added a few things and repackaged it as an ebook.

Why would anyone want to buy something that was available online for free? One reason might be that they value the efficiency of having it all in one place so they don’t have to search through his archives when they want the info. One reason might be that people just like the thought of owning something.

But a surprising reason was revealed through several people who emailed him saying that they knew they could get the info for free, but bought the ebook anyway because it was the first opportunity they had to thank Darren for all he had done for them.

Think about that for a second. His product offered little in the way of new value, but customers happily bought because Darren had created such a surplus of value for them.

Counter-intuitiviley, one of the best strategies for getting ahead is to give generously.

The scarcity mindset is forced to always ask “what do I get from this transaction?” The abundance mindset is free to ask “what can I give in this transaction?”

A really interesting book that I read recently was called Secrets of The Millionaire Mind . This book very closely ties your ability to get rich to your mindset. The idea is that your thoughts and your feelings drive your actions, and your actions determine your results.

He says that people have a “financial thermostat.” Just like a house is set for a certain temperature, each person is programmed for a certain level of wealth. Just like the temperature in a house can fluctuate even with the thermostat on (the temperature outside the house might change rapidly or maybe someone leaves a window open), a persons level of wealth can fluctuate based on external circumstances. But as long as the thermostat is set to a certain level, that is where they will default back to in the long run.

The only way to become truly wealthy in his view is to reprogram the thermostat — to change your mindset as it relates to money.

You need to ditch the ways of thinking that are holding you back and embrace the ways of thinking that can move you forward.


So, have a abundance mindset and go forward in your life. Remember, it always the giver who gets benefits more then who charge for there givings.

A Restless Mind.

A mind which is not stable. When there lots of thoughts keep running in your mind and cannot find any answer to the question. Then, that is called a restless mind. Basically, it is nothing more then a mind that is always insecure about there decision.

Hey there, today I’m going to talk about the most ignored problem of the time. People think it is mind, so, it doesn’t need to be settled. It should be running all the time. Yeah! I don’t totally disagree with them but there should be some limitations for self. Just like excessive use of something is always harmful.

Like for an example, when you want something to happen, you also think about or guess the consequences that might happen, if things doesn’t happen in the same way you thought. And now you are stuck. Whatever you do, you will be having a backup thought about every thing. Like, I’m having a thought for writing this and on the same time I’m questioning myself “Am I writing correctly”.

Many says that this is over thinking. Then let me just tell you something, even planning is also an over thinking or deciding anything is over thinking because, then why you have to decide, when everything is already been decided, right?.  And now a days over thinking is not discussed as a problem, it is shifted or got dragged into “Being cool” stuffs. Like if you throw a stone on anyone in a crowd, hey/she will say they do over thinking. Come on its not over thinking, it is the only way our mind works. Like when you go for a trip you think about the pros and cons and the ways of dealing them. Where to stay, where to eat, where to roam, before packing your stuff. So, what is that, over thinking or planning? For some of you it may be a planning but for other or for most of them it is over thinking and they are fed up with.

But, a restless mind is all about that mind who not think about the consequences because of Being to restless to decide. Yeah! This brings the problem of anxiety, self doubting, creating chaos outside, unhappiness and many more. And there can be a lot of problems for that, but, for now it’s your mobile, probably on which you are reading this. Now, it is more then a source of entertainment for you. You literally depend on it. Like, if you got your mood off you want songs or videos to deal with it.

So, how can we deal with it? What can be best measure for it? Frankly, I don’t know. I’m also finding an answer for it. I just wanted to raise a question infront of you, just to make you aware that there are these questions which needs to answered.

Although, Everybody has there different answer, but, every answers will come to same place. Like, for me is staying away from social media for a bit everyday. I need this to be in my habit so that I can focus on my decision or restlessness.

Tell me your ways to deal with this in the comment section below. Till then have a great day and try to think about it, seriously.

Indian Railways – Lifeline Network of Indian Economy

Among the triumphant and majestic inventions of the modern world, is widespread transportation. Compared to other transports available today, railways transport as one of the eloquent one. No doubt aeroplanes and automobiles have provided much ease in everyday life but the importance of railway transportation is perpetual.

Railways have edge roadways as it carries more passengers and loads of heavy goods to long distance. Perhaps journey is more comfortable and faster also. Its operation is less affected by adverse weathers conditions like rain, floods, fog, etc. Railways also make it possible to conduct different activities like business, sightseeing, and pilgrimage along with transportation of goods over longer distances. Railways in India bind the economic life of the country as well as accelerate the development of the industry and agriculture.

World’s first railway line was opened between Stockholm and Darlington in northern England in 1825 and railways became important mode of transport. It occupies an important place in land transport system of India and is the most dependable mode of transport to carry goods and passengers over a long distance. Besides long distance, local transport of passengers is also provided by local trains or metro-rail in some metropolitan cities. Rail transport is available throughout the country except some hilly or mountainous regions.

Indian Railways plays a role of national integration. The railways were introduced in the country in 1853 by the British almost immediately after it established in England. The first railway on Indian sub-continent ran over a stretch of 21 miles from Bombay to Thane on 16 April 1853. The first passenger train steamed out of Howrah station destined for Hooghly, a distance of 24 miles, on 15 August 1854. In South, the first line was opened on 1 July 1856 by the Madras Railway Company. It ran between Veyasarpandy and Walajah Road (Arcot), a distance of 63 miles. In the North, a length of 119 miles of line was laid from Allahabad to Kanpur on 3 March 1859.

In 1947, at the time of independence, there were forty-two rail systems exist in the country.  40 percent of the railways then passed through the newly independent Pakistan and thirty-two lines owned by the former Indian states, spanning a total of 55,000 km, later these were merged into the Indian railways.

In 1951, the systems were nationalized as one unit, becoming one of the largest networks in the world. Thus Indian Railways was born.

India has a large network of railways throughout the country. There are two types of rails rolling on Indian railway tracks. One is passenger train and other is goods train. While passenger trains carry both human beings and a limited quantity of goods, the goods trains are exclusively used for carrying goods from one place to another. At present the Indian Railways have three types of engines – Steam engines, Diesel engines and the Electric engines. The Indian Railways is the largest public sector undertaking in the country.

Today, Indian Railways has one of the largest and busiest rail networks in the world. It transports 20 million passengers and more than 2 million tones of freight daily and is one of the world’s largest commercial employers, with more than 1.6 million employees. Indian Railways covers total 63,140 route kilometers as on 31.3.2002, including broad gauge (total 45,099 kilometers), narrow gauge (total 3,265 kilometers) and meter gauge (total 14,776 kilometers). The Indian Railway system is operated through several zones and other operating divisions. It is considered as the main part of the India’s transportation system.

Some major statistics related to Indian Railways are as follows :

•Wagons (units) – 2,16,717
•number of locomotives (operating) – 7,739
•Operating trains – 14,444
•Daily Passengers – 8,702
•Coaches – 39,236


East Indian Railway established a Carriage and Wagon Department as part of the Locomotive Works in 1855 in Howrah. Established in 1986, the Rail Coach Factory (RCF) was the second coach manufacturing unit of Indian Railways. Its foundation stone was laid by the then Prime Minister of India Mr. Rajiv Gandhi. At present there are  few  more rail coach factories like Internal coach  factory which  located in Chennai, Chittaranjan Locomotive  works, West Bengal and Diesel Locomotive  works, Varanasi. 

Apart from being fast, comfortable and cheap, railways play an important role in the economy of a country. Indian Railways carry more than a million ton of freight traffic encompassing around 6,856 numbers of rail stations. Being the primary infrastructural sector of India, Railways has been developing to maintain a pace with the development of Indian economy. Indian Railways is a department owned and controlled by the Government of India, under the aegis of Ministry of Railways. It is administered by the Railway Board.

The Himsagar Express, between Kanyakumari and Jammu Tawi, has the longest run in term of distance and time on Indian Railways network.  The Indian Railways started introducing the prestigious Rajdhani and Shatabdi services during the ‘70s and ‘80s respectively or to match the best in the world. The Bhopal Shatabdi : Express is the fastest train in India which has a maximum speed of 150 m/h on the Faridabad-Agra section. 
 

Fares on the Indian Railways across categories are among the cheapest in the world. In the past few years, despite a recessionary environment, the Indian Railways have not raised fares on any class of service. On the contrary, there has been a minor dip in fares in some categories. Indian Railways makes 70 per cent its revenues and most of its profits from the freight and uses these profits to cross-subsidies the loss-making passenger sector. It also owns locomotive and coach production facilities.

Since 1924-25, railway finances have been separated from General Revenue. Indian railways have their own funds in the form of Railway Budget presented to the Parliament annually. This budget is presented to the Parliament by the Union Railway Minster two days prior to the General Budget, usually around 26th February. It has to be passed by a simple majority in the Lok Sabha before it gets final acceptance. Indian Railways are subject to the same audit control as other government revenues and expenditure. The government of India has initiated a scheme, ‘National Vikas Yojna’ for the development of the Indian Railways. The scheme would focus on completion on strategic projects within a stipulated period of time. Railways are doing very useful service to the nation. This also creates impact on the Indian Economy.

To conclude, Indian Railways has played a vital role for the transportation needs of the country & Indian Railways have also emerged as the major strength of the Indian economy.
