The Winning Pendulum
This is highly inspirational true story of a Great personality of 20th century. Those who live in and around New York City see his name all over every day. Yes, you guessed it right – it is about great Theodore Roosevelt.
“As far as I can remember they were absolutely commonplace. I was a rather sickly, rather timid little boy, very fond of desultory reading and of natural history, and not excelling in any form of sport. Owing to my asthma I was not able to go to school, and I was nervous and self-conscious, so that as far as I can remember my belief is that I was rather below than above my average playmate in point of leadership; though as I had an imaginative temperament this sometimes made up for my other short-comings. Altogether, while, thanks to my father and mother, I had a very happy childhood I am inclined to look back at it with some wonder that I should have come out of it as well as I have! It was not until after I was sixteen that I began to show any prowess, or even ordinary capacity; up to that time, except making collections of natural history, reading a good deal in certain narrowly limited fields and indulging in the usual scribbling of the small boy who does not excel in sport, I cannot remember that I did anything that even lifted me up to the average”
These are the words of Theodore Roosevelt, the once timid little boy in his own words, who went on to graduate from Harvard and become one of the most successful and greatest Presidents of United States. His life is a true inspirational story for the young generation – filled with passion, courage, intelligence and a burning desire to achieve the goal.
He has highlighted something very significant for the modern age Fathers also. I quote his words - "My father, Theodore Roosevelt Sr., was the best man I ever knew. He combined strength and courage with gentleness, tenderness, and great unselfishness. He would not tolerate in us children selfishness or cruelty, idleness, cowardice, or untruthfulness."
Nation remembers great ‘Teddy’ on his 152nd birthday.

Deliver an Experience not just a service
"When you get to work every day, it's showtime. No one cares if you have a cold or if you're feeling off or if you had a fight with your best friend. We are paid to do great work. And the best businesses offer their customers an experience, not just a product or a service" - Robin Sharma
This is so true. Yet another way to get qualified for life!

Remembering MLK Jr and Gandhi
"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy" - MLK Jr. World is remembering and carrying forward his thoughts on equal rights on his 81st birthday.
MLK, who was greatly influenced by Mahatma Gandhi, made a visit to India in 1959 to meet with Gandhi Family. He was particularly struck by Gandhi's words: "Through our pain we will make them see their injustice". He embraced the thought of non-violence and spoke on the profound influence on him.
In a radio address made during his final evening in India, King reflected, "Since being in India, I am more convinced than ever before that the method of nonviolent resistance is the most potent weapon available to oppressed people in their struggle for justice and human dignity. In a real sense, Mahatma Gandhi embodied in his life certain universal principles that are inherent in the moral structure of the universe, and these principles are as inescapable as the law of gravitation.
