We all say - "He is such a lucky person
to achieve so much in his life" and then sit back just as a
spectator, who keeps dreaming but never does anything about it. To achieve our
goals we need talent; yes I am talking about you and you have it. Even though many of us have a good Intelligent Quotient (IQ); but
still we fail? I have been
wondering about this all my life. Yes I am fairly intelligent but I do not
perform well. I always underestimate the person in front and in turn lose it
all. I have realized what is missing. Now I have the idea of how
not to lose and here I want you to have it. In this fast world it’s very easy
to come within first 10 of the hundreds people competing you in your talent but
the job is not over yet. This is where it actually starts; don't be relaxed as
it is time to perform. At this stage every contestant will have same talent as you;
same IQ as you, don't underestimate even if he
is the 10th guy while you are the 5th. No; be alert! What
are more important at this point are your emotional quotient and your attitude.
Making up good mood for yourself and the examiner is important; that
doesn't mean letting down your esteem, but instead being friendly without
compromising your principles. Emotional Quotient (EQ) includes how you handle
the people around you and it has little to do with your IQ. When it gets tough
let the tough get going. Yes the guy with high EQ will win this race as he has
the talent and power to perform at the correct time. BUT!! What if you lose
even after this??? Well what we always think of a failure and regret about it
but instead it is a boon. Now I am not just bluffing. History tells us all the genius persons in the world were
successful only after their failures. What did
they do? They BOUNCED back and that’s the "attitude" you need to
keep. The right attitude is to never give up and work up to your limits. You
will not realize the benefits but they will come in the long run. And then
success will itself knock your door. And then far away there will be a person
thinking about your success and HOW LUCKY YOU ARE; but you know what it was
like. So be quick now to note this down in your mind and keep going on :)…..

Human Mind : An intricate world
The human brain has more than billion neurons and supporting cells. The connectivity between these neurons along with the micro-environment provided by the supporting cells makes it possible for us to think, feel or act. Indeed with the augmentation of the era of Neuroscience it is now clear that human mind is an emergent phenomenon produced from human brain. Neuroscientists have now shifted their understanding of brain function from local region specific functionality to more wide neuronal circuitry and its activity patterns. Every day the brain is breaking or forming or at times strengthening or weakening new neuronal connections. Each day is a learning day for the brain; it can be said that Human Brain is a perennial student for life.
Human Mind depends on activity of neuronal circuits. In-turn these circuits depend on the neuron characteristics. The characteristics of neurons are dependent of the genetic makeup of that cell. Though environmental inputs also have a major role in guiding the modulation of the circuits. Another important faculty of human brain is memory; that is the ability to remember as well as learn new experiences. Thus apart from genetic and environmental factors affecting neurons another essential factor helping in rewiring or stabilizing the brain circuits is habit. Habits are repetitive behaviors of any person; research has shown straightening of circuits by repeated exposure to the similar surroundings or scenario. Indeed yoga based life style practices like daily yogic postures and asanas, meditation and eating habits have shown quite remarkable structural changes in the brain. The resultant openness to learn, accept and move ahead is all because of Brain neural plasticity. It is like discovering new aspects and abilities of mind itself. Truly an observer is indeed the student being observed.
Overall from this view it becomes clear that long thought efficient methods, like meditation or renunciation to solitude, have a profound functional basis for changing Human Mind.
