I am reading book “How the mighty fall” written by Jim Collins on the Singapore airport at 4-00 p.m. with my favorite coffee. I am waiting for my Osaka flight .I would love to share the lines of the last page of the book. “Whether you prevail or fail, endure or die, depends more on what you do yourself than on what the world does to you.”
If we have spelled the word “book”, how we will spell? BE DOUBLE OKAY. A book which can make our mind in okay status, I called it “book”.
“Reading well is one of the great pleasures that solitude can afford you. “Said by Harold Bloom, O Magazine, and April 2003. (US author, critic, educator, & scholar (1930 - )
Some of the books are very elegantly written .The books get attention on outlets are most of the time balance with elegant printing, designing, packing and highlighted content. An average person should read at least 24 books every year. (2 in months).I think I am Fair in selecting this numbers. When we read lovely book we fall in to love automatically.
Last year the number of new books was 288,355, not counting the hundreds of thousands of self-published books that came off presses such as XLibris and iUniverse. And, as long as we’re being numerical, it’s worth noting the mountain of books already in existence, to which publishers are constantly adding— currently, 129,864,880, says a software engineer who just posted a fascinating entry on the Inside Google Book blog, about what Google counts as a book.

Leader can certainly shape great life by reading books.

Happy reading!

What is the number one priority of a leader?
In jet setting and sedentary life style and constant pressure of performance at work place produces Obesity, Diabetes, High Cholesterol and acidity are common downside in the professionals.
Life at Call center, IT professionals, banking and insurance industry professionals are found under pressure which cost them in to life time decease.
Now a day, yoga and meditation trainer are found in most of the companies to take care of fitness .You will also see training programme on food and life style. Recently, if I had find that MOTIF inc. had organized training programme on cervical cancer.
Fitness of a leader is a first priority. Fit leader needs clean oxygen in his lungs.

Dwight Howard, The four times NBA All stars and two time defensive player of the year, is one of the most aggressive players of the basket ball of the world but he never lost his cool spirit on the ground. Basket ball legend says, “It is a fun for me. I fell in love with the game when I was three years old. I grew it up enjoying it. Knowing more games also but I love only basketball. I had conquered the world by loving game.”
Life becomes more memorable by loving your passion. Love your work and work with love, success is a byproduct. Doing passionately with madness attitude helps us in creating miracles. I believe loving something and doing it for life time with madness make a big difference in the respective field. Conquering the world is never a main goal. To love it, doing for years always give direction to the career and life. There is no other remedy to create high level of success except loving it fullest.
Loving what you are doing every moment creates every moment.
Pretending our real love and engaging in other activities slowly invites pain and discomfort in the life. A life lived with loving passion never make us dull.

Mohandas Gandhi said, ” The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world’s problem.”Our potential can built up future if we tap it up to fullest level.
We should see what could be seen in us. Society look at the EVERYTHING STARTS WITH BELIEVE IN YOUR POTENTIAL.
Mohandas Gandhi said,” The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world’s problem.”Our potential can built up future if we tap it up to fullest level.
We should see what could be seen in us. Society look at the Bolly wood actor Anupam Kher, He was fail in the Secondary examination. His knowledge of English language was very poor. He could not study better even after it. His father has given party to this family members, when he was declared fail in the examination. But Anupam Kher knew he can act and perform. He keep on doing it even sometime, his father was his only audience. But he had seen his dreams and capacity to deliver his capability.
When you see and believe in yourself than you could be a best role model among the others. Taping potentiality at fullest is the essence of leadership. Leadership is not fall far from your true potentials.
Charles Schwab asserted profoundly,” When a man has put a limit on what he will do, he has put a limit on what he can do.” What we are at inside, we will become at outside. Believing in inner strength and mobilizing up to fullest level, tagged “congratulations on your desk, one fine morning. You profoundly says, you deserve it  because you believe in yourself.
True leaders never emphasis on physical or mental or social problems, they give much more important to what they can do in spite of those events. Recently, Tiger Woods participated in the golf tournament after his crucial marriage life problem. He decides not to quit from the game and motivated himself to come to the ground.
I like following credo…
If you think you are beated, you are…
If you think you dare not, you don’t.
If you had like to win, but think you can’t
It’s almost certain you won’t…….
Life’s battle don’t always go
To those stronger or faster man,
But soon or late, the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can?”
You will be able to create what you believe.
What is your nature to believe in yourself? How you can tap your true potential?
Knowing and believing in your inner strength is true sense of leadership. Aliveness means believing in your potentiality. Leaders use potentiality and move forward with positive actions in the right direction.

“So it was clear that one of the things that’s really a big part of Harpo is the responsibility that  organization and its leaders—all of them—feel, because they have impact and because that’s where the world is going. People expect new things from business, and this organization has a sense of that. I spoke with Tim Bennett at some point about mission and social responsibility in the context of Harvard Business School’s purpose, and Tim said, ‘You know, I think you need to talk to Oprah about this.’” And that’s what happened.

At the end of March 2005, Winfrey phoned Koehn precisely as arranged, and the interview, originally scheduled for twenty minutes, lasted an hour and twenty minutes.

Koehn reflected, “Her message to our case was about purpose: one’s purpose and one’s service. I thought it was a very important, clear, and surprisingly rare message from the public stage at this moment in history. And it was said so accessibly, with great inspiration but also with great humility. That combination of inspiration and humility I found absolutely compelling.”
Oprah attends class

Last May as Koehn prepared to teach the new case to two sections of The Coming of Managerial Capitalism course, she invited Harpo executives and Winfrey herself to come to class. No one dared to imagine that Winfrey would take the time to attend, but she did.

“The students all did double takes when they saw Oprah sitting at the back of the classroom. I thought they would be a little nervous. But they were fantastic in each class I taught.”

After both sessions, Winfrey took the floor for half an hour to speak informally and address specific questions that the students had raised about her company. Winfrey said,
If you only desire to make money, you can do that. Obviously, everybody in here is going to make money. Everybody in here is going to have a level of financial success that most people in the world will not know. But what I will tell you—and I know this for sure too—that the money only lasts for a while in terms of making you feel great about yourself. In the beginning, the money is to get nice things. And once you’ve gotten those nice things, I think some of the most unhappy people I know are the people who’ve acquired all the things and now they feel like, ‘What else is there?’ What else is there? What else is there? And that feeling of ‘what else is there’ is the calling—is the calling trying to say to you [that] there is more than this. There is more than this.

“It was just a great message. And the students heard it.”

In the end, says Koehn, “I think what really impressed the students was Oprah Winfrey’s sense of the big picture and how individuals matter to that big picture. That’s really the essence of leadership.”

Koehn took away some other observations. “Many people attribute some of her success to the apparent contradictions or anomalies about her: She’s a woman in what is mostly a man’s world. Entertainment at both the corporate and entertainer level is still dominated primarily by men. She’s an African American in what is still predominantly a white person’s world. And for many years, off and on, she’s been a heavy person in a skinny person’s world.”

“And therein, I think, lies another lesson for the twenty-first century. Success, despite or because of such contradictions, shows us where people’s focus is, and where some of the new drivers of inspiration are. We are moving to a world that is more diverse, that is more comfortable with that difference.

“We are moving into a world in which just the self as a primary unit of analysis may no longer be enough; where benefits, satisfaction, and purpose are about connecting not only one’s own needs, but also with one’s needs in relation to helping others, or trying to help others, however indirectly.

“This was another level that I didn’t see before this project, and I think it’s very important in this case. It’s another reason the students are engaged by the message ‘find your purpose, it’s about service.’ And it’s a lesson we at Harvard Business School, I think, understand, as very much in keeping with our mission. In that sense we need to be very conscious of our responsibility as a school, as an educational institution, of where the world is going.” by Nancy Koehn and Erica Helms
