Crusade..

Enough of me in so many days now – love, sadness, low feeling, dancing devils in mind, rejuvenation with my lost self, pictography and blah blah blah! I am tired of writing about what I feel, how I feel, about life and relationships and so much more.

I want you to start a crusade in your life - to dare to be your best.

I want you to picture this – exactly the way I write here. Suppose you have a killer instinct to be different from others at work – to make a mark as you go by and up your professional life. What would you do?

Would you walk up to your business leader or the CEO and ever say ‘Tell me the most important thing playing in your mind. I will help you implement that in this organization’. Loud and daring? Okay then perhaps this – ‘I have this burning desire inside me to be able to help you gear up for 2008 revenues – give me the ownership for one fourth and I will see what I have to do to get that for the organization.’

Awesome – I wish I can say this some day.


You don’t even need to fix up an appointment with the CEO to say all this – there is a concept called an ‘elevator speech’ which we are so familiar with now. Try that.


..and not just professional – wish we could do that everywhere – to dare to be our best. And as I write this here, I want you to tell me the ways….to DARE TO BE OUR BEST. Sometimes hearing it out from others helps firm up.

Enough Nonsense? Don’t relate to it? Okay, then for those I have something else for you….try this three times before you decide to say shut up to me and get going with your work.

Sixth sick sheik's sixth sheep's sick.

Would you agree if I said it was the toughest English tongue twister in the world so far? Some achievement, right?

P.S: Park that thought about ‘daring’ somewhere.

So apt to the context of the recent conversation we had..lets dare buds..!!:)
I know not literally but we can dare anywhere...isn't it..?

oh yes the first one indeed is a top go-getter but it will win us a resolution or a forced-resignation well...that's anybody's guess :)

@JLO - right there...and you need to start first hand on this.

@Helloworld - koshish karne mein kya jata hai...you did not tell me other ways to dare to be our best..

My last post talks about things that are not exactly dares. But those are more like targets - professionally & personally. I think I would turn at least one of them into a dare.. Will surely add a little fire to the desire to achieve the target.

Dare to be best..................then confront your own flaws and face your fears..............apologize and make amends to those you hurt the most and are most scared to approach.................extend yourself when you feel you are most drained out, but still feel that YOU can fill the void...........dare to be your best, then strive and work hard to enable someone be better than you.................you will automatically be one step ahead............dare, then do it..............DO NOT seek someone else to permit you to even dare, dream and act on it...........yeh to hamara janmsidhha adhikaar hai

"killer instinct to be different from others"

Well, I have always thought that the only person you compete against is you yourself............better yourself than your ownself....one step up.........'coz the moment you try to be "different" from others, you are in all essense lowering your own standards for yourself. Once you achieve the "difference", you're done............so now what???

@ Anony...read through your last post...good start...keep it up...

@West...janam sidh adhikaar aapka ban jata hai...the way I know you...you have always strived to be your best and I guess you have been your best...this was for those who have not tried enough to reach there. Atleast I think I have not - there is still so much that I can do, so much that I can explore and dare and dream and start and experience.

Killer instinct to be different from others...this spirit is a corporate gyan...one has to prove a point to excel...in anyway...but agree not necesarily always to be different from others...but yes, most of the times to do something out of the ordinary.
