Today marks the 22nd anniversary of Kargil Vijay Diwas, which is being observed across the country. On Kargil Vijay Diwas, the nation remembers its war heroes and pays respect to Martyrs.
The day commemorates the success of Indian military forces in Operation Vijay in 1999, when they drove infiltrators supported by the Pakistani army out of high positions in the Kargil area.
President Ram Nath Kovind will visit the Kargil War Memorial in Drass, Ladakh, today to pay tribute to the Indian Armed Forces’ unwavering heroism and sacrifice during the Kargil Conflict in 1999.
The Prime Minister also shared a clip from All India Radio’s Mann Ki Baat show from last year. He stated that India will never forget the circumstances surrounding the Kargil conflict.
On the occasion of Kargil Vijay Diwas, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh today paid tribute to the Indian Army’s unwavering courage and sacrifice. Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid tribute to all those who died while defending our country. President of India Ram Nath Kovind will attend the 22nd anniversary of the Kargil War.
He will be the first President to visit the Kargil War Memorial in Drass and take part in the festivities. Air Force Chief Air Chief Marshal R K S Bhadauria and Navy Vice Chief Vice Admiral G Ashok Kumar also expressed their condolences.
“Operation Vijay was a perfect combination of strong and resolute political, military, and diplomatic efforts that helped us to turn an unfavourable situation into a military and diplomatic victory,” wrote General VP Malik, the Indian Army Chief during the Kargil War, in a 2002 essay.
The Kargil War in 1999 was the world’s first and only conflict between two nuclear-armed states. Every year on Kargil Vijay Diwas, India commemorates the heroism of its defence troops, headed by the Indian Army, which pulled off numerous notable successes in the line of fire.
Despite strategic disadvantages and hostile weather, India successfully pushed back the enemy after a nearly three-month operation that included intense warfare, synchronised political and militaristic pressure, and, most importantly, the sacrifices of many lionhearted patriots who will be remembered for the rest of their lives.
Arrogance is having excessive pride over one’s or a particular group’s accomplishment to an extent wherein we believe that our abilities are nothing compared to others and the success would have come sooner if I had done it alone.
In psychological context, there are two kinds of pride.
Authentic pride- Positive feeling about ourselves, loved one’s success, our actions after successfully coming out from comfort.
Hubristic pride- It usually involves ego coupled with arrogance. Has an exaggerated self-concept.
PRIDE
Any act that boosts our self-esteem, building trust about what we are capable of, and recognizes it, accepts our flaws. It pushes you to perfect your talent and bring forth a blooming personality.
You accept the potential of those working with you and try to form a group that will put in collective work to achieve your collective goal.
Values other’s input and doesn’t hesitate to ask for guidance.
Accepts constructive criticisms, filters their work to make it more productive.
Never slacks off.
Is aware of strengths, weaknesses, and areas which can be improved.
Keeps striving better (Knows that knowledge is boundless).
ARROGANCE
Believes that I have everything I need and that my gifts are beyond immeasurable.
Believes that I have no flaws and cannot make a mistake or create complications from my actions.
Every bad outcome is due to the people affiliated with my work.
Looks for external validations.
Thinks that there is no need to practice or attend meetings because I can win no matter in the end.
Is okay to not follow moral rules (Legal ways) to achieve my needs.
Other’s input is worthless (but will take others’ great ideas making it own saying you got this idea from me) and find them distracting.
Works alone even though being a part of a group activity.
SELF-REFLECTION
If you need to know, whether you really are being arrogant due to impatience or intentionally or people are envious of your success, potential; self-reflecting on your actions, thoughts, and intention will help you resolve your doubts and get back on track with change in yourself or environment.
Self-reflection: Ability to witness and evaluate our own cognitive, emotional, and behavioral processes. To give an objective thought about your behaviors, thoughts, attitudes, and desires.
You work hard, burn the midnight oil, respect everyone and their opinions, and achieve success. But in the end, you get judged as an overachiever, arrogant and rude. Those judgements try to bring your down, make you doubt yourself.
Well, let me just highlight that it is okay. These doubts usually arise because you care about how you respect not only yours but others’ effort that goes into bringing about results which is beneficial for everyone.
Look at few differences I have mentioned above and reflect.
Are you dismissive of your colleagues’ efforts? Do you assure them to implement their ideas but you end up doing completely different without informing them? Do you go late to meetings and displace your external anger on their capabilities?
Few more points to take note of:
Not being honest about their work, where you want improvements, and blaming entire failure on their recklessness. (This is concerning leadership).
Thinking you are superior and forcing rules obnoxiously while you try to put them down.
Seeking constant validation.
Yes, you have achieved great things, burnt that midnight oil but boasting about it is not going to change the outcome of your efforts. You have to keep learning and communicate and inculcate views of your colleagues to bring the best out of them and to bring about a team with the same goals and motivation.
Negative critics/members with less motivation, insecurity and less self-esteem may see you with the lens blurred with their issues.
Reach out, write a diary, and find out ways to bring out the best in you. People will usually have prejudices regarding your ethnicity, your way of leading, the cause of your goals, gender, religion, race, color, and everything that has nothing to do with you or your work but everything about themselves.
Do not give up because just like supporters exist, people against you will try to affect you. Believe in yourself, your teammates, reflect occasionally, and keep moving forward with your head held high.
Procrastination is one of the most significant roadblocks to waking up, making the proper decisions, and living the life you’ve imagined.
According to recent studies, people regret the things they haven’t done more than the things they have done. Furthermore, regret and guilt associated with squandered opportunities tend to linger considerably longer. All of our opportunities appear to be at our fingertips at times, but we can’t seem to get to them. When you procrastinate, you are wasting time that could be spent on something more productive. If you can defeat this formidable foe, you will be able to achieve more and better harness the potential that life has to offer.
We already know that today’s world encourages procrastination, making understanding how to fight it one of the most valuable skills you can acquire. As a result, procrastination is the polar opposite of punctuality. A punctual person accomplishes what has to be done exactly when it needs to be done; a dilatory person never does anything when it needs to be done, preferring to postpone it until tomorrow, next week, or next year. If procrastination is not firmly checked, it quickly develops into a poor habit, making punctual performance of everyday responsibilities impossible. It could be due to simple laziness and a reluctance to work when it is inconvenient, or it could be due to the delusion that there will be enough time in the future to do all of our tasks.
How can you overcome procrastination?
Stop being so pessimistic: People delay for a variety of reasons, one of which is that they catastrophize, or make a big deal out of a minor issue. The underlying idea is that executing the activity will be “unbearable.” It could be related to how difficult, boring, or painful it will be to do the task. Challenges, monotony, and hard labour, in actuality, will not kill you, nor will they make you sick. Procrastination, on the other hand, is linked to stress—imagine how stressed you are when you put off making a phone call you know you need to make. Put things in perspective: “This isn’t my favourite task, but I’ll finish it.”
Concentrate on your “why”: Procrastinators are more concerned with short-term rewards (avoiding the task’s unpleasantness) than with long-term outcomes (the stress of not doing it, as well as the consequences of avoiding this task). Instead, concentrate on why you are performing this task: What are the advantages to finishing it? Imagine how good it will feel to go into a decluttered closet if you’ve been putting off clearing it out.
Keep your expectations in check: Set yourself up for success as you create your schedule. Projects can take far longer than anticipated, so plan ahead. Also, search for ways to make your life easier: If you’re not a morning person, don’t expect to get up an hour earlier to begin a fitness regimen you’ve been putting off for months. That exercise might be better scheduled during lunch or before dinner.
Chunk it: When a task appears to be too demanding, procrastination is common. So, how do you divide that project down into smaller, more manageable chunks? If you want to write a book, for example, you could prepare an outline, identify each chapter, determine the portions inside each chapter, and then commit to writing one segment at a time. Things will make you feel less overwhelmed and more empowered if you break it down like this.
Optimize your environment: Your surroundings can either help or hurt your productivity. Keep an eye out for technology that keeps pinging to let you know someone has contacted you, such as your email or messenger. Procrastination can be caused by social media, internet “research” that takes you off course, and phone calls.
Forgive yourself: Stop berating yourself for the mistakes you’ve made in the past. Things will only get worse if you think things like “I should have begun sooner” or “I always procrastinate; I am such a failure.” According to research, forgiving yourself for past procrastination can help you stop procrastinating on a task. You can also try to capitalise on previous procrastination. How? Determine what caused your avoidance—fear, stress, a lack of understanding of how to move forward, a lack of accountability, and so on. Then, in the present and future, confront those difficulties
“Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful.” – Albert Schweitzer.
Is there a correlation between success and happiness?
We have not come here in this world by our choice nor will we leave this world by our wish. We’re all tourists in this wonderful world. No one is gonna live permanently. We ultimately experience this One supreme Power that controls this universe, maintaining us.So this thought create a feeling that we are living here temporarily in this world. Joy and sorrow are the part and parcel of life. Being optimist genrates the feeling of hope and inner peace. It helps us to motivate ourselves and overcome stress and grief. Positive attitude leads you to take better decisions finally to achieve “SUCCESS and HAPPINESS”.
Metaphorically, the sun is a daily reminder that we too can rise again from the darkness, that we too can shine our own light.” As the negative and positive thoughts are always battling with each other, trying to win over the other but when we are optimistic, a positive feeling wins the game by making us more confident, brave, calm and content. Nelson Mandela’s quote goes well with it, “The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.”
The definition of happiness vary from person to person. As some are happy with less, but some with more. Although this is not the true definition of happiness.The real happiness merges from within ourselves in satisfactory appreciation with whatever we have. When we were young, we used to be happy with little things.. gradually we have set the criteria for ideal happiness that if I will have a car, big house, good job then only I will i be happy. These things become obstacles in achieving peace and happiness. If we set a condition with our happiness then we will never ever be happy in spite of having all goodness. Unconditional happiness is essential for true happiness.These are the reasons, most of the children are not happy with their parents, the reason is the they have made the condition that if I will get so and so thing then only will become happy, so we are focusing on the things about which we are sure. And waste their precious life moments, just overlooking the plenty of goodness in it because we try to see the happiness through our covered lens so we are unable to see any goodness.
As it is said’Peace begins when expectation ends’..This quote exactly fits in our day to day life. We expect too much from others but are unaware that they are also expecting the same from us. The modern society has no doubt changed completely; changing life style has distorted out mindset. The changing world is the world of new idealogy “More and More” . This has made the people selfish and self centred.
We should understand that every moment of our lives we can include happiness only if we take things in a positive manner. We shouldn’t depend on something or someone to make us happy. As it is rightly said by William James : “Human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives”.May God make us from among those who brighten up another person’s path with happiness, even when our own is clouded with darkness. But that’s the moment we feel the “True Happiness” emerging from within us.
What do you define as happiness and success in your own life?
Happiness and success are nebulous terms that get thrown around a lot in the self improvement circles. They are the ultimate goals in life. The only things that truly matter.Or so they say.But do any of us really know what we mean when we say we want these things?
How will we know once we reach our goal of becoming happy and successful? What will we do after we achieve these things? Just kick back and do nothing, waiting for death, our job as a human being now complete?How do we know we aren’t already happy and successful?
I’m not going to sit here and waste time trying to define these terms for you. Look them in a dictionary if you want a bland, sterile definition. Don’t bother doing that though. We all have some internal sense of direction towards happiness and success. With each event that occurs in our lives, we intuitively know if it is moving us closer or further away. That’s good enough for me.
The above quote is a common misconception that people have. Just find a way to make yourself happy and you will be a success. Maybe some people feel that way, but I don’t want to be the happiest homeless man begging for change on the highway off ramp. Success, defined as happiness, could even be achieved chemically through alcohol, heroin, or other destructive and non-successful indulgences.
So what’s missing? Meaning.Happiness without meaning is not success.People also make the opposite mistake. They think that once they become successful, whatever that means, then they will be happy. They put in long hours at the office. Lie, cheat, steal, kiss ass. The ends justify the means, they think. We all know the cliche of the rich man, seemingly at the top of the world, who realizes that he still isn’t happy. It is a cliche for a reason, because it teaches an important lesson that many of us are all too willing to ignore.
Material success without happiness is not true success. So a lack of happiness makes you unsuccessful. A lack of success can certainly make you unhappy. Happiness alone doesn’t make you successful. Success alone doesn’t make you happy. So what do we do?
Balance happiness and success while doing something meaningful. Meaningful is something we all have to define for ourselves as we all value different things in the world. Balance is the key here. Hedonistic pleasure seeking lacks meaning and therefore does not make us feel successful. Ruthless competition and chasing material rewards doesn’t leave room for the things that make us happy in life.
So where am I going with this? What is the magical key to success and happiness and a life of unending pleasure, meaning, and satisfaction?
I don’t know, I’m just some guy on the internet. …This is something that I think about a lot though. People seem to think of happiness and success as destinations. A goal they can someday reach if they do and think and say and believe the right things. I’ve listened to a lot of interviews with successful people and they they are asked who they think of as successful, I’ve never heard anyone mention themselves. People with success beyond our wildest dreams don’t yet think they’ve reached that elusive destination we call success. They’re still on the path towards it. The same is true for happiness.
We are all much happier and more successful than other people in the world in certain ways. Many of us are currently much happier and successful than we ourselves once were. Still we want and strive for more. I think of success and happiness as a direction rather than a destination. No matter how long I travel towards the east, I will never get to a place called “east”. This is just a metaphor, there may be a geographic point on earth where east becomes west, but don’t worry about that.
You can continue to get closer and closer to happiness and success for all eternity without reaching your destination. This is because they are moving targets, constantly redefined based upon our current position. I realize that this is where my math metaphor falls apart, but don’t worry about that.
We can and should continue striving for both, despite, or even because of, the fact that we will never actually get there. Striving after a worthy goal, typically one that increases our happiness and success, is what gives our lives meaning. The goal itself changes constantly over time. The pursuit is the constant. A life with nothing to pursue would not be very interesting at all. Find your pursuit.
If karma works, why are so many corrupt people successful? Why do good people have to struggle?
Karma, as a concept, was the idea of cause and effect translated through multiple lives, not just through one.
That by living a good life now and being kind and happy, you will create a positive start for whatever meets you after you pass away.In this sense, Karma isn’t something we will feel any effects of now and is something we will only come to see once we meet our next life.However, even if we do take out that concept the idea is still one of Cause and Effect.Good deeds cause good things, and bad deeds cause bad things, but it never said that we had any control as to what things we gain from what deeds.
When talking about Karma we assume that it is all one big ball of yarn.Different colored strings are so intertwined in this ball that it looks like a rainbow colored sphere where everything is connected.However, the truth may be a little different.
What if Karma did not work like we assume it does?
What if you cannot just treat others nicely and make more money because those two are not connected?
What if you actually had to pull on the money string to get money karma?
And what if, by doing well on the ‘treating others’ string you simply get others to treat you better too?
But then again, maybe that would not be Karma anymore but a very straight-forward matter of cause-and-effect. Most of us do not like this explanation because it means we cannot be as comfortable as we have been. We like the idea of being able to pull on a string that comes easiest to us to uplift our entire lives, for some things just do not come that easy to us. But maybe that is where we have been wrong in what we think Karma is all about. Maybe the successful, but corrupt people, just knew what strings to pull to get to success and have that area of life in order while the rest is crumbling around them. And maybe we do not know how to pull the strings of success so we struggle in a world of niceties and laziness.
Honestly, I do not know how Karma works or if it does. I am probably wrong about it all. Maybe we all are. Karma might just be an idea we tell ourselves to feel more justified in being nice and treating others kindly, but maybe it matters not one bit.
‘Who knows?’
The thing is that it clearly does not work as simply as we make it out to work, for we do see contradictory examples everywhere. But if we take the idea of the ball of yarn, I believe we get a lot closer to how Karma may truly work.
For if you work on your finances every day, if you are charitable and treat others at your job well while still fostering the belief that money will find its way to you, chances stand much better you do create more money for yourself. Psychology supports this concept through things such as the Confirmation Bias, Self-Fulfilling Prophecies and Selective Attention. You will likely find more opportunities and therefore more successes in this area if you do more good deeds here, which is the whole point. If you pull on the green string you will get greener results, but you may not get green results by pulling on the red string. You cannot just do good to get good things returned to you in a completely separate area of life.
Successful people, as corrupt as they may Be, often at least have something they know about success.
Some cheat their way through, others lie their way through, and others hide the truth or weasel their way through with other people, but as long as they find a way that means there has to be something they know we do not. And while we go through life being honest, nice and hard-working there is clearly something that is not leading to more success. That does not mean you have to stop being honest, nice or hard-working, but rather that it may be time to learn about success and money instead of relying on Karma to do it all for you. It’s easy to say that we could just be as corrupt as they are and then we’d be rich and famous too, but I believe it is a little more complicated than that, for there are already quite a few corrupt but unsuccessful people out and about.
Corruption is not the string that will lead to success either.
It’s easy to point the finger towards others but maybe we have to ask ourselves what the things were we did and did not do. Maybe we got the Karma, but maybe it was just by getting something we did not want to get. If you have your health, if you have people that care for you, if you have a roof over your head and clean water, then you already have more than most, which may mean your Karma is quite positive.
Whether or not I am right with my assumptions does not really matter. If I am not and Karma is supposed to work in a way where pulling one string leads to random, but positive, results, then maybe there is just something wrong with the system or maybe you did not yet pull hard enough. Either way, even then learning about success and money and taking actions that lead to results you want to have may just be more reliable way to go.
For if Karma does not exist at least this way will give you more opportunities to create the life you want to create.
I, for one, will take the route that gives me the most likely chance to create the life I want, and if that means doing extra work then so be it!
Time management is critical for personal and professional success. Time management refers to the ability to make the best use of one’s time. It is stated that if you master this approach, you can do everything in life, despite the fact that effective time management appears to be as simple as it is difficult. Effective time management necessitates far too much work. Self-discipline is essential for effective time management. When we think of time management, we usually think of personal time management, which is loosely described as managing our time so that we may spend less time doing the things we need to do and more time doing the things we want to do. As a result, time management is frequently thought of or presented as a set of time management skills; the premise is that if we acquire these abilities, we will be more organized, efficient, and happy.
Importance of time management:
Good productivity: Once you’ve devised a strategy, all you have to do now is put it into action. There’s no need to waste time on things you don’t have to do at work; instead, focus on what you need to do next to boost productivity. However, keep in mind that this will only work if you complete your task on time; delaying will have a negative impact on your productivity.
Less Stress: You may become stressed if you do not complete your studies, assignments, or projects. Taking care of one’s mental health is critical for everyone, and students’ poor performance is typically a result of increased stress and anxiety caused by the pressures of academics. Effective time management can help you relieve mental stress while also increasing your confidence and vitality. Time management assists you in completing activities in less time and with less resources. It’s also a terrific approach to relieve stress in this way.
Health Advantages: Your attempts to manage your time have an impact on your health as well. You won’t have to stay up late to complete your responsibilities if you manage your time efficiently. Sleep deprivation causes fatigue, which might disrupt your day’s plans. A good night’s sleep is necessary for your brain and body to replenish, which benefits your health and energy levels.
Syllabus Cramming: Not finishing their course on time is a common issue among students. As a result, they cram all of the chapters right before the tests, resulting in poorer than expected results. Students who use effective time management skills can not only finish their coursework on time, but also have time left over for revisions. Extracurricular Activities Have More Time: When you have a set timetable for all of your duties for the day, you can estimate how much time you’ll have left once you’ve completed them all. You can organize your tasks so that you have more time to do what you enjoy. This can include activities such as drawing, painting, singing, dancing, photography, and so on, or you can go cycling or jogging to get some fresh air.
Conclusion: Time management is important for everyone, whether you are a student, a housewife, a businessperson, or a working professional. If you are unable to effectively manage your time, you will fall behind on your goals.
“Entrepreneurship is an activity that entails putting one’s own resources at risk in order to start a business or produce something with a commercial purpose.” The act of starting a firm in order to make a profit is the basic definition of entrepreneurship. In today’s society, however, entrepreneurship has expanded to include the act of changing the world by solving large-scale problems. With the introduction of the internet, entrepreneurship now has the ability to effect social change by developing a service or product that has a good influence on individuals and addresses societal concerns with innovative solutions. Entrepreneurship including land, labour, natural resources, and capital can yield a profit in economics. The entrepreneurial mindset is characterized by exploration and risk-taking, and it is an essential component of a country’s ability to compete in an ever-changing and increasingly competitive global marketplace.
What is an entrepreneur?
An entrepreneur is a person who starts a new firm, taking on the most of the risks and reaping the majority of the benefits. The entrepreneur is often thought of as a creator of new ideas, products, services, and business or methods. The entrepreneurs on this list hail from all over the world (from the United States to Europe to Asia) and operate in a wide range of fields (HR, digital, health, finance, entertainment, art, design, and so on), but they all have one thing in common: a passion for what they do. Small or home-based businesses to global corporations are all types of businesses. An entrepreneur’s earnings are made through a combination of land, natural resources, labour, and capital, according to economic theory. In a word, an entrepreneur is someone who has the desire and determination to start a new business and is willing to take on all of the risks that come with it.
Characteristics of Entrepreneurship:
1.Self-motivation: One of the most important attributes of entrepreneurs is their ability to motivate themselves. Even if you don’t have an immediate source of revenue, you must stick to your plan and keep moving forward.
2.Job Creation: Entrepreneurship leads to the creation of jobs. It offers an entry-level role, which allows unskilled workers to gain experience and training. 3.Increased Standard of Living: Entrepreneurship helps to raise a person’s standard of living by raising his or her income. The term “standard of living” refers to a growth in a household’s consumption of various products and services through time. 4.Risk Bearing: The essence of entrepreneurship is the willingness to take risks, without which one cannot thrive. It occurs as a result of the development and implementation of new concepts. Because such ideas are sometimes speculative, the outcome may or may not be favourable and immediate. 5.Encourages research and development: Before introducing a new product or service, it must be thoroughly investigated and tested. As a result, entrepreneurship helps universities and research institutes to support research and development. This encourages economic growth, research, and development. 6.Be enthusiastic about your work: At the end of the day, successful entrepreneurs are driven by their passion. They are passionate about their product, service, or mission. When you’re feeling down, passion will help you discover inspiration and propel you forward. To keep going forward with your self-employment ideas, you’ll need passion.
