Toastmaster

I'm part of Toastmaster s club in my company . Its basically international forum to improve your communication skills and to deliver good speeches  . Some of the things which I have learnt for giving a good speech are mentioned below .

1, Be enthusiastic and have a passion on the topic which you are speaking . You need to have the energy to transmit to your audience

2. Tell a story .If its a personal story , even more good .  Emotions  like fear , surprise etc can keep your audience engaged .

3. It should be something which they don't know . It should be inspiring and informing . Inform , Inspire are the two key words.

Had a awesome session with Bau today in ashram followed by  wonderful ashram lunch . Some of the points from the session.

"Don't do something which you can't post on Facebook . If you are not sure of any action which is right or wrong , then you can follow this rule. "

Someone asked a question , why do I keep repeating the same mistakes ???

Bau answered , you are foolish to do same mistakes again and again .  At least you are aware , some people are not  even aware . 

Next Question , How do I say people to protect environment ? I feel they get  hurt

Answer : Its better to say politely and ignore . Its better to say rather than allowing their children to die

Next happiness course is happening in Koramangala with Bau and Dinesh . Don't miss it this time if you are in Bangalore . Details updated in  below link

Rules

Rules which we don't like , but some rules are required in life . Some rules by his holiness Dalai Lama

" And my favorite one is  is Rule 4. Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a stroke of luck."

Some other rules to be followed .

1.Don't keep loud ring tones especially in office and other places where it disturb others.

2. don't talk loudly in phone or otherwise

3. don't backstab people . Focus on your journey instead rather than letting others down .

4. Let go of the past  . Don't hold anyone responsible for your state of mind. You are only responsible for it  . 

Start being curious

http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/jun/07/seek-and-you-will-find-curiosity-key-to-success

"The internet is making smart people smarter and dumb people dumber.” 

 We need to be curious and start questioning rather than accepting everything blindly

"Jaisa aan , Waisa mann " meaning what you eat makes up your mind . So be careful in what you eat .

Challenge yourself

Someone asked Guruji , what are 3 important values

Guruji answered , just 3 you want . One is commitment , Second is sense of belonginess to all and third is living in the present moment

Another nice read about hard work . I would add hard work with smart work is the key

http://www.deccanherald.com/content/481512/hard-work-pays.html

Some lines from the post

"As Martin Luther King Jr rightly pointed out, “If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.”
Recognition and importance is bound to pay more visits in the lives of the hard working. As a professional consultant put it, “Be so competent at what you do that your organisation cannot run without you.”

Blame Game

Never blame someone since you ll be taking their bad karma . Impressions are created very deeply .
So just believe everything is happening perfectly and move on.

Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family: Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one.
