"The only mission of life is to ‘Live’. On this earth live every moment to its fullest.This is the only essence of a successful life. People have define life by 200 definitions but I would like to narrate life as - Life has no other meaning except living."

SPEED@DIRECTION = SUCCESS
May 11, 2009
If you are not faster you are dead. Success technology of the 21st century is to run with speed in the right direction.
“I find the great thing in this world is, not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving.” Quotes German poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
Old saying is “Slow and Steady win the race.” Now, I would like to replace that learning with a new learning “Running with Speed in the right direction.”
Thousands of people are running for success and accomplishments. How will you reach at the top? Who will make a way for you and how? If you want to be the first seat driver and want to decorate head table with your worthy presence, you have to run in direction with high speed.
Leadership has to do with direction. Management has to do with the speed, coordination and logistics in going in that direction. Take an instance; The WORKERS are chopping their way through the jungle. The MANAGERS are coordinating, making sure the tools are sharp, etc. The LEADERS climb a tree and shout, “Wrong jungle!!!” The MANAGERS shout back, “Be quiet! We're making progress!”
Leaders have to lead themselves with speed as it is said that speed of the engine is the speed of the train. Going with slow speed is nothing but inviting death of yourself or your organization. Status-quo and stagnation are nothing but dying. Life is growing, moving and running.
There are no speed limits on the road of excellence. You will not come across any speed breakers and Red light signals.
In this Monday wisdom I want to say that you have to run with speed on the road of accomplishments and running in the wrong direction with speed is foolishness.
