Dearest Darling friends,
To begin with, we have received an
unprecedented number of responses for the last article on Shivaji.
Thanks. You can see all the comments on our website www.lifeschool.co.in and on my Facebook wall.
 Secondly, there was an error in the last
article. Shivaji did not kill Shaista Khan as mentioned in the
article. He had cut the fingers of Shaista Khan. Many thanks to
Swapnil Shaha for gracefully pointing out the mistake. We regret the
error.
Except for the above, this month has
been a very very exciting month for us. There has been a string of
achievements. We have never ever achieved so much in such little
time. The scope of some achievements make them milestones in my
life. When we discover for the first time, something we are capable
of, it is a milestone. It is never against someone. It is always
about doing things we have never done before with a sense of 'class'
and 'finesse' better than our own estimates. Milestones are
something that fills us with pride and gives us energy and
excitement to do more.
On a lighter side, what is written on
the milestones on the highways are distance in 'Kilometers'. Yet,
for some funny reason they are called 'milestones'.
We in Life School and at home decided
the year 2011 should not pass off as just another year. Achievements
should not be as rare as a rainbow in desert skies. They should be
as frequent as the blossoming roses in a rose garden. We decided we
should fill the year with milestones and make 2011 as a milestone
year. The dates chosen were April 1st 2011 to March 31st 2012. The
target - '100 milestones'.
365 days - 100 milestones.
Each milestone should lead to something
greater and exciting. The milestones should not be the end of the
journey. It should be pointers we are in the right direction !
Since more than two weeks have passed
since we took that decision, I sat down to write the milestones we
had crossed. I was fantastically surprised. Besides the number of
milestones, what excited me was the range of roles and variety of
achievements.
On April 1st, we completed an
exceptional program titled 'Business Excellence' flawlessly. As a
professional I crossed a milestone. I have always excelled in
training. This program was the best I had ever done.
On April 3rd, we completed Life School's
sports convention with a nail biting finish. It was the best and the
toughest sports convention (we have had 4 of them till now). Though
led by me, I believe that was a milestone for the entire fraternity
of Life School. As a leader I crossed a milestone.
On April 3rd, we released the first ever
book written by me, "KEEP MOVING". It has received rave reviews. You
can read them on our website. I have written enough articles in the
past few years. However, this is the first ever book. As a writer I
crossed a milestone.
On April 11th, we started the first ever
Batch of Life School with a brand new, simple, deep, yet very
powerful course titled 'Lets Explore'. The impact is visible in the
first week itself. As a new organisation, we crossed a
milestone.
On April 13th, our daughter scored 90%
plus, for the first time ever. She is a darling. However, this was
her first ever academic excellence. As parents, me and my amazing
wife Bharathi crossed a milestone.
On 15th April, the website of Life
School had its first ever audio podcast loaded. As explorers in cyber space,
we have crossed a milestone.
As I wrote this list, there were a few
small achievements too. But, I would not call them milestones. So I
cancelled them off the list. The list without them still looked
impressive to me.
A simple decision ---) 365 days - 100
milestones. This simple decision has given a new source of energy to
the entire family and the organisation.
Will 2011-2012 pass off as yet another
year in your life? What are the milestones you want to cover? In how
many aspects of life do you want to cross milestones? Most
importantly - How many milestones?
For me, 100 milestones has
changed the way I look at 'everyday'. When I go to sleep, when I
wake up, when I am awake, I am all the time searching ways by which
I can cross milestones. I am becoming more adventurous and
ambitious. I want to 'do more' and 'be more'.
I wish you, my darling readers, the
same.
With love, prayers and best wishes,
naren
