Connecting Girls, Inspiring FUTURE

What a Theme! What a Theme! 'Connecting Girls, Inspiring Future!' ah..

All days are special in my life and Yes, I cherished a chance to celebrate all those days I have in a year! Yes, I am talking about Women's day!
It started with wearing Purple salwar-kamiz following gifts and events from my organization, a largest telco in Bangladesh.
There are special events and it was really inspiring to hear from a Lady Captain, who's magic mantra is follow your dreams no matter what, a cycle girl! who participate in outragious events like cycling relly, tracking mountains and now going to win Mount Avarest! Who remembers only 1 praise that she might got out of 100 comments!
There was another Banker and doctors who are frank enought to tell that ' LEARN, LEARN, LEARN thorugh out your life!' 'take care of yourself! why would you need a doctor!

Ah, amazing people, amazing time! Next session is on Meditation and Yuga! I always believe its very important where you work and whom with you work . Cause my environment shapes a lot of me!
So, thanks to Allah for all these blessings!

Some people says! whys women day! there is no men day! another says its not from our culture! others doesnt says anything!lol

But I believe, girls and women should focus really on conneting with people. Cause they have very limited opportunity, we can't just also hang arround anywhere and everywhere..tea shops adda is quite not feasiable! Cigarate adda! hm hm! All the kitchens should be in one place to have a BIG gatering! lol

So thanks for this day, to celebrate women hood! to connect with people! and to enjoy and learn!

Just want to read when ever I need HOPE and Courage

"I was coming to tell you that one of these days, when you are least expecting me, I will pay you another visit, and when I do. I will be a successful man. I will bring with me a check, signed in blank and made payable to you, and you may fill in the amount because you have saved me from myself by introducing me to myself - that self which I never knew until you stood me in front of that looking-glass and pointed out the real me."

Demand more of Yourself

If you think you are beaten, you are;


If you think you dare not, you don't;

If you like to win, but you think you can't,

It is almost certain you won't.

If you think you'll lose you've lost,

For out of the world we find

Success begins with a fellow's will –

It's all in the state of mind.

If you think you are outclassed, you are -

You've got to think high to rise.

You've got to be sure of yourself before

You can ever win a prize.
 
Life's battles don't always go


To the stronger or faster man; But soon or late the man who wins

Is the man who thinks he can.
 
by a well known poet, source: law of success, lesson3.

SEEKER of KNOWLEDGE & WISDOM

I was always searching the purpose of my life. Sometimes I felt like its contribution towards development and sometimes i felt its the responsibility of prosperity.But gradually as time passes, i felt like I am nearer to explore it. And thanks to my reading habit :)

I never knew my childhood habit of reading outbooks (masudrana, tin gorenda, jafor iqba's all most all books, humayun ahmed, Sirshendu, Somoresh, Sunil, Sanjib chotto padhay etc) will be paid off so well. When I was a student of class IX, I was  blessed with an awesome library in my school "udayan bidyalaya" where we had a unique librarian who made sure we had all kind of books from liberation wars to Sunils.Faluda to Kakababu. From Jafor Iqbal to Humayun Ahmed. It was a big treasure for me then compared to "Bisho Sahoti Krendo". I remember I had submitted 19 books to our librarian at the end of the year! though no student can take more then 2 books ;) privileged??o yeah :). She was so nice to me that, when ever I liked a book, she kindly allowed me to take with pleasure while keeping the track in my library card. I hardly read any English book at that time ..gradually I started to read different English books and now language is not the concern for me but the topic and writer.

Knowing an international language is bless and it opens up an entire world of knowledge in front of me. And I am the hungry fellow, who can't wait but to give a drive into this sea of  knowledge and wisdom.

Frankenstein : one of the finest motivational story I have read

Clarence M. Jones told how encouragement and making faults seem easy to correct completely changed the life of his son.

“In 1970 my son David, who was then fifteen years old, came to live with me in Cincinnati. He had led a rough life. In 1958 his head was cut open in a car accident, leaving a very bad scar on his forehead.

In 1960 his mother and I were divorced and he moved to Dallas, Texas, with his mother. Until he was fifteen he had spent most of his school years in special classes for slow learners in the Dallas school system. Possibly because of the scar, school administrators had decided he was brain-injured and could not function at a normal level. He was two years behind his age group, so he was only in the seventh grade. Yet he did not know his multiplication tables, added on his fingers and could barely read.

“There was one positive point. He loved to work on radio and TV sets. He wanted to become a TV technician. I encouraged this and pointed out that he needed maths to qualify for the training. I decided to help him become proficient in this subject. We obtained four sets

of flash cards: multiplication, division, addition and subtraction.

As we went through the cards, we put the correct answers in a discard stack. When David missed one, I gave him the correct answer and then put the card in the repeat stack until there were no cards left. I made a big deal out of each card he got right, particularly if he had missed it previously. Each night we would go through the repeat stack until there were no cards left.

Each night we timed the exercise with a stop watch. I promised him that when he could get all the cards correct in eight minutes with no incorrect answers, we would quit doing it every night. This seemed an impossible goal to David. The first night it took 52 minutes, the second night, 48, then 45, 44, 41 then under 40 minutes.

We celebrated each reduction. I’d call in my wife, and we would both hug him and we’d all dance a jig. At the end of the month he was doing all the cards perfectly in less than eight minutes. When he made a small improvement he would ask to do it again. He had made the fantastic discovery that learning was easy and fun.

“Naturally his grades in algebra took a jump. It is amazing how much easier algebra is when you can multiply. He astonished himself by bringing home a B in math. That had never happened before. Other changes came with almost unbelievable rapidity. His reading improved rapidly, and he began to use his natural talents in drawing.

Later in the school year his science teacher assigned him to develop an exhibit. He chose to develop a highly complex series of models to demonstrate the effect of levers. It required skill not only in drawing and model making but in applied mathematics. The exhibit took first prize in his school’s science fair and was entered in the city competition and won third prize for the

entire city of Cincinnati.

“That did it. Here was a kid who had flunked two grades, who had been told he was ‘brain-damaged,’ who had been called ‘Frankenstein’ by his classmates and told his brains must have leaked out of the cut on his head. Suddenly he discovered he could really learn and accomplish things. The result? From the last quarter of the eighth grade all the way through high school, he

never failed to make the honor roll; in high school he was elected to the national honor society.

Once he found learning was easy, his whole life changed.” If you want to help others to improve, remember . . .

Use encouragement. Make the fault seem easy to correct.

Changing people or transforming them

Some of my recent learning and believe:

Talk about changing people. If you and I will inspire the people with whom we come in contact to a realization of the hidden treasures they possess, we can do far more than change people. We can literally transform them.

Exaggeration? Then listen to these sage words from William James, one of the most distinguished psychologists and philosophers America has ever produced:

Compared with what we ought to be, we are only half awake. We are making use of only a small part of our physical and mental resources. Stating the thing broadly, the human individual thus lives far within his limits. He possesses powers of various sorts which he habitually fails to use.

Yes, you who are reading these lines possess powers of various sorts which you habitually fail to use; and one of these powers you are probably not using to the fullest extent is your magic ability to praise people and inspire them with a realization of their latent possibilities.

Abilities wither under criticism; they blossom under encouragement. To become a more effective leader of people, apply . .

"Praise the slightest improvement and praise every improvement.

Be “hearty in your approbation and lavish in your praise.”

LET THE OTHER PERSON SAVE FACE

Anna Mazzone

Ms. Mazzone, a marketing specialist for a food packer, was given her first major assignment - the test-marketing of a new product.

She told the class:

“When the results of the test came in, I was devastated. I had made a serious error in my planning, and the entire test had to be done all over again.

To make this worse, I had no time to discuss it with my boss before the meeting in which I was to make my report on the project. When I was called on to give the report, I was shaking with fright. I had all I could do to keep from breaking down, but I resolved I would not cry and have all those men make remarks about women not being able to handle a management job because they are too emotional.

I made my report briefly and stated that due to an error I would repeat the study before the next meeting. I sat down, expecting my boss to blow up.

“Instead, he thanked me for my work and remarked that it was not unusual for a person to make an error on a new project and that he had confidence that the repeat survey would be accurate and meaningful to the company.

He Assured me, in front of all my colleagues, that he had faith in me and I knew I had done my best, and that my lack of experience, not my lack of ability, was the reason for the failure.

I left that meeting with my head in the air and with the determination that I would never let that boss of mine down again.”
