Captive Confidence

Self-Confidence is Captive and Challenge is the key to unlock it

I always loved the phrase “SELF CONFIDENCE”, the mere thought of this phrase would make me feel the heat in my brain and an urge to achieve something would be at its best. This urge to achieve would grow into a verge of getting into a dream which never became reality (I hope you have read my previous article “Dream in Depth”).

So, How do we convert this self confidence and urge to achieve into a well documented success?

A successful man is the one whose goals are achieved irrespective of them getting noticed by others. I mean to say, success of a person is decided by himself and a person can feel successful only when he can prove to his consciousnesses completely that he has sincerely completed the task taken up. Believe me, its relatively very easy to prove things to others than to our self.

A daydreamer always thinks of getting noticed and a capable man only concentrates on the goal to be achieved (I have experienced both the phases of a daydreamer and a capable man ). With respect to confidence, both the daydreamer and the capable man will be confident in their ventures, but success seldom comes to a daydreamer.

Well, when a daydreamer is confident, his intensions and dreams will be focusing only on the appreciation, where as when a capable man is confident, his focus will be completely on the work to be done, he never cares about the appreciation and he loves satisfaction.

So, what is real self confidence?

We might have seen many instances where a crazy man whom we thought was not capable of doing anything or not serious of what he does, suddenly becomes successful in a serious venture. For example, Mr.Steve Jobs. He was a college drop out, just did things what he loved to do and was respected only after his inception of Apple.

Steve Jobs loved what he did, he wanted his love to win. Since his love was true, he took it as a challenge that gave him the required self confidence and helped him drive his love to the warmth of success.

This even describes what true love is, isn’t it? ha ha

Anyways, self confidence is something which is present in enormous amount within everyone, but it is captive and locked up with a strong lock made up of aspects leading to the inception of a daydreamer within our self. To get the power of this captive self confidence, we need to have a key of challenge to unlock it and to handle that great energy of self confidence released through challenge, we got to have plenty of patience and perseverance.

Alright, just shared a couple of understandings from the experiences with my crazy brain, hope it din’t strain your brain

Dream In Depth

Dream’s Strength Depends on the Depth of Determination……

The power of human mind is enormous and the way we make use of its strengths is the exact measure of our achievements.

This article deals with a very sensitive matter of how to deal with dreams, i mean the daydreams. By the end of this article you will be able to understand why daydreamers are termed lazy!

Usually people say we need to have great dreams to make  great achievements and also they say daydreamers are lazy, crazy isn’t it?

Well, you know there is a thin difference between the determined dreams and lazy ones.

A student is planning to prepare for his examination, he remembers what his teacher said, “To dream big”. He aim’s high. He starts thinking about scoring high marks and becoming a topper. This thought gradually turns into a dream and he starts projecting himself as a topper in his own world of dreams. He is immensely enjoying being a topper, receiving awards, getting appreciation from his family and making his friends jealous.After enjoying his achievements in his dream, do you think he can really put the required effort to achieve the same thing in reality?

No, actually his mind is now tricked!

Tricked!! Ha ha, interesting right?

Yes, believe me, his mind is really tricked. It has already enjoyed the essence of success within itself and so, it will never let him work hard to achieve what he already has achieved in his dream and this follows laziness.

A dream should be dreamt in a proper depth. That depth should not go to an extent of enjoying its output nor be very weak that will be ignored. To be specific, a dream should be like a catalyst that will boost the confidence levels for working better in the path of achievement. If  the dream is regarding achievement, it improves the determination and if the dream is regarding enjoying the achievement, mind gets tricked!, which leads to laziness.

That’s the practical reason behind the daydreamers being lazy.

Looking At The Lighthouse

“Destination can be reached only when the distance is covered”

Yes, its a very simple sentence and a raw truth. Looking at the destination and moving along is the most exciting thing, it gets adventurous when you have some glitches and of course it gets you into  trouble if you are not lucky enough to get through those glitches with your fight.

Imagine a sailor, sailing alone in a glorious ocean, enjoying the evening breeze and humming a tune making him go nuts, his chest filled with happiness and thanking god for the lovely creation of nature. He remembered now that his destination should be reached before it gets dark and  he had very less time to make it to the sea shore. He started sailing faster and got a bit nervous though he knew that he would reach there by time. The breeze  started to blow fast, the same breeze which was making him enjoy is now making him annoy, the loneliness he enjoyed with the majestic ocean is irritating him now. His bad luck had a raise, the breeze turned into wind and is making the waves hit his boat hard. He was a good sailor and tried to sail his best. A thought that he wasted time enjoying the evening breeze started hunting him, he cursed himself, he hated the ocean and tried to sail faster. The wind increased its pace making the waves hit him more hard and he observed that the moon is getting covered by dark clouds. He felt very unlucky, a wave of fear started to acquire his mind but he din’t loose faith and kept sailing. Now he had something to smile, he found the lighthouse

Lighthouse

Oh wow!, he felt happy and exciting  looking at the lighthouse standing tall, proud and majestic. He felt he had some luck with him, got a boost up from this and sailed with  more enthusiasm. The waves are still hitting hard and it started to rain. The happiness he had looking at the lighthouse vanished with just a couple of hard waves and a hint of heavy rain.  The more he sailed closer, more farther looked the lighthouse.

Though there were many bad things around which made him feel miserable, Looking at the Lighthouse would give him strength and power to try hard for making the destination. Yes, there he sails, pushing his muscles hard, making his mind solid , so that the waves could never shatter him.

The sailor here represents every common man who wants to achieve something, every one here has to sail through the difficulties to reach their goals. It might be difficult and miserable but visualizing the destination to be reached like the sailor saw the “lighthouse” gives the courage and strength to move on.

If you ask me , did sailor reach the lighthouse?

Well, the sailor is getting all his powers within to sail on along with the wind blows and wave hits. But, it became dark, he is lost and the only hope he has is that, he is able to see the lighthouse. He tries, tries and tries. Never gives up.

Thanks a lot for your time spent on my words,

Fear of Future

Hey There…… Hellooo…..

Are you interested in knowing your future by prediction??

Yep, most of us might at least like to have a glimpse about it.

Now, I will tell you a story of  a king, who had a powerful dynasty and strong belief on astrology. Once the king invited an astrologer to his palace and asked him to predict his future, the astrologer made all the analysis and said,”The King will be dead in 6 months”.

Ha Ha….. just imagine what would be the king’s condition, he believed in astrology very strongly. He became clueless of what to be done, his mind flooded with fear and he was so much frightened that he was about to die at that moment itself, but his minister was an intelligent man, he tried to convince the king that the astrologer was a fool and not to believe in him. The king was in no mood to agree what minister said, but the minister wanted king to come out of his fear, so he asked the astrologer to re-predict king’s future. Though the astrologer felt his prediction was perfect, he did the entire analysis again and said, “yes, my analysis is perfect and the king will be dead in 6 months”. The King was utterly frightened, the minister became much furious and the astrologer looked gusty.  People at the palace held their breaths waiting for the next move, now the minister had a role to play; he asked the astrologer, “Have you made the prediction of your future? if so, when are you going to die?”, and the astrologer replied, “Yes, i have made it and i will be alive for twelve more years”. That’s it, the minister quickly drew his sword and chopped off astrologer’s head and said to king “Did you see this liar? He is dead at this moment”.

Fine, now let’s come out of the palace and analyze the story…… We can have different opinions  looking at this story in many point of views.  The only question which makes the actual sense is “Did the king get benefited by knowing his future?”.

Alright,  it’s left to the individual conviction on how to realize the above story, but one thing should be true if you want real success, as said by Swami Vivekananda, ” Stand up, be bold, be strong. Take the whole responsibility on your own shoulders, & know that you are the creator of your own destiny”.  A thread of the above story was also present in one of the books which depicted his works.

Thanks for reading and have a great time

Welcome to Pramskite

Hi…..

This is Pramodh.

I am here to share my experiences in life which include happiness, struggle, love, friendship, challenge and  a few very interesting twists and turns.

I am a person with great dreams. I wan’t to be the best and i have to deserve it by working hard and smart to achieve it. Though i haven’t made any great achievement yet, I am in the process.

  Here i like to share more inspiring thoughts. Like how to come out of a mental disturbance or a depression  and make the best of what you have. How to deal with a situation where you are in a greatest trouble and how to bounce back from a set back. I am greatly inspired by people like Swami Vivekananda , Sri Aurabindo and Steve Jobs to name a few. I like to get inspired and to inspire people around me. 

I am 22 now, recently finished my college life. There i did what i was passionate about. I started a forum named “INSTRUO” along with my friends which dealt with soft skills activities. I had a great fun organizing and participating in that, but i failed to make the forum big enough so as to sustain in the college even after i leave, even though i feel bad about it, on the other side i feel good about me for playing a vital role in bringing up a forum in the college despite of all the hurdles. Anyways, sorry i speak more when i speak about my forum, u gotta bear with me for that

I am from a small town from India, close to Bengaluru. I loved to speak English and so i started to learn proper accent looking at my high school English teacher and one of my good friend, that led me in starting a forum where i made many presentations , organized all sessions and stuff. Even i’m looking for a better one of this kind in future . I like to emphasize on this because things we learn in school will have an implication on the mind in future, this is 100% true. I’d like to deal with this in my future blogs.

I am a Computer Science Engineer. I feel proud to say that, not because i get a BE degree, but because i have enjoyed different shades of life in the process of being a CS Engineer. I always believed in doing things uniquely which led me to different paths and landed me in a very challenging situation which i am currently facing . I feel excited about that. I love to share many things where i moved on without fear in ways where people around me wouldn’t mind to.

 If you are looking for a blog with inspiring thoughts and stories, in fact very interesting ones, i promise you that in my future posts. I will come up with a lot more stories which might help you to get inspired and be more strong from inside. 

Thanks a lot for reading…..

Have a great time…..

Yours Lovingly,

Pramodh
