TWO SEEDS STORY
By Mr S.Narayanan
Two seeds lay side by side in fertile soil. The frst seed said, I
want to grow! I want to send my roots deep into the soil and thrust
my sprouts through the earths crust above me ... I want to unfurl
my tender buds like banners to announce the arrival of spring ... I
want to feel the warmth of the sun on my face and the blessing of
the morning dew on my petals!
And so she grew... The second seed said, I am afraid,If I send
my roots into the ground below, I dont know what I will encounter
in the dark. If I push my way through the hard soil above me I may
damage my delicate sprouts ... what if I let my buds open and a
snail tries to eat them? And if I were to open my blossoms, a small
child may pull me from the ground. No, it is much better for me to
wait until it is safe.
And so she waited... A hen which came scratching around in the
early spring ground for food found the waiting seed and promptly
ate it.
Moral of the Story...There is no discovery without risk and
what you risk reveals what you value. To save all, we must risk all.
Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life.

TWO MAGIC WORDS
By Jason Mangrum, Co-Author of Uberman! Almost Super Human
Spiritual masters say that enlightenment can happen in an instant
or like the blooming of a lotus fower. The same can be said of
realizations, and learning. As you read a book on any subject you will
have moments that you stop reading just long enough to say Ah ha!
or Wow, thats how that works or Thats why that happens!. There
is a point where something is gained from knowledge. First you are
ignorant, and then you inquire, next you realize, now you have the
power of that knowledge and can apply it to your world.
I have used this method that consists of only 2 words to create
anything I want usually within 24 hours if not instantly.
I have told these words to very few close friends, accompanied
with the warning Be careful what you wish for There is only one
guideline when using these key words and I will get to that immediately
after I tell you what these words are. All you have to do is know what
you want to make this work.
I Command!
Then put it in this sentence: I Command (Then just state whatever
you want). I know it sounds too simple. Your disbelief in this might
actually aid in its power.
You remain detached from the outcome because it just sounds
too easy This couldnt possibly work, Ive tried everything your
mind will say.
Good. What can it hurt to seriously give this a try? I have used
I Command all day, everyday and I have come to realize the
power I have over the outcome of my life. So have those,to whom I
have told these words, through their own experiences with it. Your
mind may just dismiss the acquisition of your desires as coincidental.
But does it really matter? After all you have got what you wanted and
so do not worry about how.
If you honestly begin to use this take into consideration that this
command once made is not concerned about the HOW it will happen.
The power will just take the shortest possible path to accomplishment.
All things great and small are possible when you use the words I
Command, but whatever they are, be prepared. Of course you can
always change what you want if you realize its not what you thought it
would be. It is never too late in this world and nothing is fnal. The only
thing constant in this world is change. You can either be conscious of
your creating or dragged along oblivious to it.
There is only one rule.
One limitation and this is important if you truly want to apply this
knowledge. You cannot command something for or concerning
someone else. Such as: I command so-and-so to fall in love with me
instead use- I command my true love to make himself known to me
Thats it. These words are yet to fail and you can command anything
within the realm of your imagination nothing is impossible. All you
have to do is command, and then look for the command to be fulflled.
In course of time, the verbal commands arent even necessary. If
you apply it, be prepared to get what you want. Just be ready for the
change. Happy Commanding !

SWITCHWORDS
Switchwords are powerful poignant words used to connect
directly to the subconscious mind, giving it direction for drawing
the essence of the communication.
The more a Switchword is repeated, the more it affects your
energy. The more it affects your energy, the more you draw the
experience, condition or response the Switchword represents to
you.
Use Switchwords to help fnd abundance, bring love, fnd lost
articles, enhance relationships, center attention on you, become a
good orator, enhance your learning skills, connect to your creativity,
get transportation, etc.
Some Switchwords you may fnd very useful include:
REACH Find lost objects; reach solutions for problems;
remember forgotten information.
TOGETHER Master any activity; have it all together; become
single-minded
BE - Be at peace and in good health; to be unaffected by ridicule
ACT - Be a good orator
PEACE Quell panic; reclaim stability; cease hostilities
Divine ORDER Organize; be effcient; clean up a mess; put
in optimum order
GIGGLE - Get in the mood for writing; enjoy the task at hand
How to Use Switchwords to Clear Negative Thoughts
The more you try to get away from something, the closer it
follows you. For your attention to it, or desire to be rid of it, brings
it ever closer.
The Switchword pair PURGE-CANCEL is often very helpful
in stopping this vicious circle of I dont want to think negative
and because you are focused on not wanting, those negative
thoughts keep coming.
1. As soon as you wake up, lay in bed chanting PURGE-
CANCEL for 3-4 minutes. This can keep you free of negative
thoughts for the entire morning.
2. Later in the day, just in case any negative thoughts start,
again chant PURGE-CANCEL and repeat for the rest of
the day.
3. Chanting PURGE-CANCEL intensely for a few times every
day, can keep you from having negative thoughts that day.
4. If you do get any negative thoughts, cancel them with
PURGE-CANCEL.
5. When in a positive thinking space, PURGE-CANCEL
stretches out that positive thinking.It does not cancel that
positive thought.

12 STRATEGIES FOR CONTROLLING AGGRESSION
- (CONCLUDING PART)
(From Anger Kills By Drs Redford Williams & Virginia
Williams)
Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which
it is stored than to anything on which it is poured. Mark Twain
7. Relax
Angry people let little things bother them. If you learn to calm
down, youll realize that there is no real need to get upset, and
youll have fewer angry episodes. Regular exercise can help you
relax in tense situations. When possible, go for a walk, or stretch
and breathe deeply whenever you start to feel upset.
You will also feel more relaxed when you get enough sleep
and eat a healthy diet. Dehydration can often lead to irritability too,
so keep hydrated throughout the day by drinking plenty of water.
8. Build Trust
Angry people can be cynical. They can believe that others do
things on purpose to annoy or frustrate them, even before anything
happens. However, people often focus less on you than you might
think!
Build trust with friends and colleagues. That way, youll be
less likely to get angry with them when something goes wrong.
Youll also be less likely to attribute the problem to malicious intent
on their part.
To build trust, be honest with people. Explain your actions or
decisions when you need to, and always keep your word. If you do
this consistently, people will learn that they can trust you. Theyll
also follow your lead, and youll learn that you can trust them in
return.
9. Listen Effectively
Miscommunication contributes to frustrating situations. The
better you listen to what someone says, the easier it is to fnd a
resolution that doesnt involve an angry response.
So, improve your active listening skills. When others are
speaking, focus on what theyre saying, and dont get distracted
by formulating your response before theyve fnished.
When theyre done speaking, show that you listened by refecting
back what they have just said.
10. Be Assertive
Remember, the word is assertive, not aggressive. When
youre aggressive, you focus on winning. You care little for others
feelings, rights, and needs. When youre assertive, you focus on
balance. Youre honest about what you want, and you respect the
needs of others.
If youre angry, its often diffcult to express yourself clearly. Learn
to assert yourself and let other people know your expectations,
boundaries, and issues. When you do, youll find that you
develop self-confidence, gain respect, and improve your
relationships.
11. Live Each Day as if its Your Last
Life is short. If you spend all of your time getting angry, youre
going to miss the many joys and surprises that life offers. Think
about how many times your anger has destroyed a relationship, or
caused you to miss a happy day with friends and family.
Thats time that youll never get back. However, you can prevent
this from happening again the choice is yours.
-8- -9-
12. Forgive and Forget
To ensure that you make long-term changes, you need to forgive
people who have angered you.
Its not easy to forget past resentments, but the only way to
move on is to let go of these feelings. (Depending on what or who
is at the root of your anger, you may have to seek a professionals
help to achieve this.)
So, start today. Make amends with one person that youve
hurt through your anger. It might be difficult, but youll feel
better afterwards. Plus, youll be one step closer to healing the
relationship.
Tip:
These strategies are only a general guide. If anger continues
to be a problem, you might need to seek the help of a suitably
qualifed health professional, especially if your anger hurts others,
or if it causes you physical pain or emotional distress.
Key Points
Anger is a powerful force that can jeopardize your relationships,
your work, and your health, if you dont learn to manage it effectively.
To manage anger, acknowledge that you have a problem, keep
a hostility log, and build a support network based on trust.
Also, use techniques to interrupt your anger, listen, empathize,
be assertive with others, and learn to relax, as well as laugh at
yourself.
Finally, dont let anger get in the way of the joys in life, and learn
to forgive people who make you angry.
3 TIPS TO MASTER DIFFICULT CONVERSATIONS
It is an important skill to be able to communicate your
thoughts well. But even the best of speakers encounter diffcult
conversations wherein they have to defend their belief or point
of view on certain matters.
Moments like these can be quite stressful and challenging
especially when things get out of hand and emotions start to
run high. It is not easy to convince other people to change their
minds, especially if they do not want to listen. But there are ways
to be able to deal with this kind of situation.
Here are three tips to master diffcult conversations.
1. Stay Calm
Most people who are in a diffcult conversation or debate,
tend to lose their temper and raise their voices when they to try
to prove a point. This is not the best way to sway the other party
to believe you.
If you speak with anger in your tone, it will appear as a
provocation instead of a convincing tactic. If you speak to people
in an intimidating way, they tend to focus on how you make them
feel rather than what you are trying to say.
No matter how hard it is to stress your point, always stay calm.
Speak slowly and clearly. Treat your debater as a friend and not
as an enemy.
Focus on your goal which is to get the message across and to
explain your side well. This can only be done through a civilized
way of speaking.

SEVEN WAYS TO BE THE MASTER
OF YOUR OWN MIND
People are getting busier. As stress levels soar, people fnd
ways to manage it by reconnecting to inner harmony. Some make
the best out of yoga and meditation to achieve peace and serenity.
They realize that our life is the creation of our own mind.
When the mind is troubled, it also attracts negative thoughts and
visions. Taking care of the mind, however, must not be secondary
to taking after our own body. We can be in charge of our mind, if we
condition it on staying calm, and become the master of it. And by
doing so, we can achieve greatness in our passions and endeavors.
Here are 7 ways to be the master of you own mind. These are
easy and wonderful means that can pave the way towards more
creativity and focus and less stress:
Find time to be alone in stillness
Solitude is healthy for your mind. Stillness gives you clarity.
Meditation is one of the most powerful means to maximize both
solitude and stillness. It is a great key to master you own mind.
Stillness allows your mind to take control of the situation, to get rid
of negativity and allow positivity to fow through you. Be still with
nature. Let the calmness of nature fnd you. Be lulled by its beauty
and the wonder that surrounds you.
Daydream, do it as much as you want
Daydreaming is healthy for the mind. As you daydream, your
mind is at its freest. Let it wander. When your mind is free, it is
relieved from any kind of stress and pressure. Daydreaming is
a way of drifting away lost in your thoughts. It is your means to
create your own reality. While others think that daydreaming or
mind wandering is useless,
2. Keep an Open Mind
The point of a debate or dialogue is to understand each others
point of view and reach a solution to whatever problem you are
talking about. A conversation becomes diffcult because some
people are fxated on trying to prove they are right. They refuse
to listen to the other side of the story and in the end they fnd no
resolution. Just remember that nobody is perfect and everyone
has the right to their own opinion. Learn to listen and weigh
the other persons reasoning with yours. Be humble enough to
know that you could be wrong too or the other person may have
some good points that may be helpful in fnding a solution to the
problem.
3. Be Observant
There are people who argue and never get to an agreement
because they are not on the same page. If you want someone to
understand and believe you, you have to speak their language.
You may be talking in terms that the other person does not
understand. Be observant. Use words and examples that the
other person can relate to. This way, you can make them see
your point through their level of understanding.
Diffcult conversations can be a healthy way of communicating.
You can see it as a challenge or as a learning opportunity. You
get to hear other peoples point of view and at the same time you
also learn to defend what you think is right.
Just remember that whichever way the conversation goes,
you should always maintain a sense of respect for yourself and
for the other person.

Dr. Scott Kaufmans (NYU) study has showed that mind-
wandering is an adaptive trait that helps us to achieve personally
meaningful goals, and it helps us to access spontaneous forms
of cognition like insight, intuition and the triggering of memories
and stored information. Celebrate the beauty and magic of
daydreaming. It has so many personal benefts such as self-
awareness, refection, compassion and so much more.
Look at the glass half-full
Positivity is one of the most powerful ways to be the master of
your own mind. What your mind perceives, your body and spirit
will conceive. When you wake up in the morning, notice the little
yet essential things and non-things around you.
Be happy for the aroma of coffee or the tender sunshine that
hits your face, a blessing to follow the sun the ultimate source of
energy. Marvel at the simplest beauties within your reach: the family
and friends, the fowers and reminders of nature that surround you.
As you do this, you are also conditioning your thoughts toward the
brighter side.
Rick Hanson, author of Hardwiring Happiness recently shared
to Huffngton Post that Lingering on the positive improves the
encoding of passing mental states into lasting neural traits.
Detach from the digital world
How many hours do you spend just using your gadgets and
staying online? According to research, stress is strongly associated
with excessive exposure to the digital world. Imagine how many
people are checking on their phones and gadgets just to make
sure that they are getting new likes and messages over social
media sites and their emails. Save yourself from the worst cases
of being swallowed by your own digital image, live in the moment.
Over reliance in technology will take you away from the best
natural wonders in life enjoying the easy moments while talking
and laughing with someone you hold dear, watching the beautiful
sky, eating slow and sleeping well.
Take some time off. Allocate enough time for offine enjoyment.
You will see a big difference in your life.
Let it be, let it go
Forcing yourself to do things that youre not in the mood of
doing is the best way to stress out. For sure, you dont want
more stress in your life. When things seem to feel murky, let it go.
Let things be if youd like to relax more and drink more tea, let
it be.
The more you drag yourself to achieve some things, youd be
burning yourself out and not really give your best shot. When you
allow your mind to breathe and to take its time, the ripe moment
will come. Then, from there, you can achieve wonders.
Fuel your life with meaning
Pleasure is cool but where does it lead you? Have you ever
experienced being so pleased because youve done something
meaningful? This is why meaning is more powerful than pleasure.
Remember that when you are just always thinking of the
hedonistic way of life, youll also feel empty at some point. Pleasure
fowing with meaning has this indelible mark in your mind.
You know and feel that you have done something enriching. This
is also an amazing way to be touched by life and to touch others.
When you pursue meaning, you are also nurturing your mind to
attainment that are not based on superfciality.

RAHUL DRAVID ON PATIENCE
When I am requested to speak to youngsters I like talking about
this phase of my life and liken it to a fascinating plant: The Chinese
Bamboo. You can take a Chinese bamboo seed and plant it in the
ground, water and nurture the seed for an entire year & not even
see a single sprout. In fact, you will not see a sprout for 5 years.
But suddenly, a tiny shoot will spring from the ground. And over
the next 6 weeks, the plant can grow as tall as 90 feet. It can grow
as fast as 39 inches every 24 hours. You can literally watch the
plant grow.
What was the plant doing during these 5 years, seemingly
dormant period, it was growing its roots. For 5 full years it was
preparing itself for rapid, full growth. Without this root structure,
the plant simply couldnt support itself for its future growth. Some
would say the plant grew 90 feet in 6 weeks, I would say it grew
90 feet in 5 years & 6 weeks
STEVE JOBS QUOTE
Your time is limited, so dont waste it living someone elses life.
Dont be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other
peoples thinking. Dont let the noise of others opinions drown out
your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to
follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what
you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
- Steve Jobs
THE NEWLY WED
A newly wed girl was being welcomed at the husbands home
in a traditional manner.
She was asked to give a little speech. She addressed as follows:
My dear family members, I thank you for welcoming me in my
new home and family, she said Firstly, with my presence I would
not want to create any inconveniences by my being here. I mean
that I dont want you all to change your way of life, your routine.
What do you mean my child? asked the patriarch of the family.
What I mean dad is: Those who used to wash dishes must
carry on washing them. Those who used to do the laundry must
carry on doing it. Those who cooked shouldnt stop on my account.
Those who used to clean should continue to clean.
As for me, I am here just to CONTROL YOUR SON!
Remember that book pages are wings
During your break time, open a book and start reading. Reading
has its own therapeutic benefts. When you are opening pages
of words and worlds, you are also relaxed. This is why most
bookworms call it the great escape. Note though that the best
way to read is to feel the texture of the good old book, smell the
pages and drift away with the lines.
Staring on a gadget for reading may drain your energy, too.
Its great to do it the old school way. So, yes, you have what it
takes to be the master of your own mind. Let try out these 7 ways.
Happy treading!
