- 4. Your Challenge as fellows Is to make the transition from philanthropy to community building One requires money The other requires dedication, skill, time and energy Won’t happen unless you see value for yourself in it
- 5. Critical Need Forget ‘sacrifice’ Think ‘investment’ Sacrifice always ends Investment continues because you see value in it Your return is to know that you will receive the rewards for this long after you have gone
- 6. What is the root of the problem?
- 9. Listen but make your own choices
- 11. A world of contrasts That speaks to us in the language of signs – readable only by those who can see. “There's none so blind as those who will not listen.” ― Neil Gaiman, American Gods
- 13. Today’s benefits Global access to information Choice of what to see or listen to Choice of careers and lifestyles Lowering of entry barriers Access to capital Freedom to choose is confusing and frightening
- 15. Today’s challenges How to understand the information? How to choose what to see or listen to? How to choose career or lifestyle? What to do with low entry barriers How to access funds? Without this assets become liabilities
- 16. This is what we need. Courage, Enterprise, Creativity, Confidence
- 17. What we need today is… Perspective to understand the present Courage to take risk in the future Ownership & responsibility for commons Communication & work with diverse groups Disagree without being disagreeable Critical thinking & learning from mistakes Critical to survival skills

- 20. Until 19.5 Kgs. Nothing will happen At 20 Kgs the balance will tip
- 21. Chains are in the mind
- 22. Live to make a difference
- 23. We’re free to choose but every choice has a price
- 24. Stances of Success “Master” or ‘Victim’
- 25. Window of Opportunity In the life of every man and woman comes a time when they have a unique opportunity to make an impact and influence others. To succeed we need to anticipate, prepare and act with courage when it opens The window remains open only for a time
- 26. Choose Your Stance in Life
- 27. Choose Wisely Living life is about making choices: Choosing to be a “Victim” Or choosing to be a “Master” Both stances are subject to the same givens of society, environment, organization etc. But have very different implications in terms of development and happiness
- 28. Distinguishing features Victims Complain about what happened Think of excuses Blame others Lose hope & give up Masters Say, “What can I do about it?” Think of solutions Own responsibility Have courage to try new ways Win, even if they fail Possible only when we can transcend our fear
- 32. 1. Complacency “Good enough, never is.” The only use of history is to learn from it. Gloating or lamenting about past glory is the surest way of ensuring that it remains in the past. People who don’t learn from history are condemned to repeat it
- 34. 2. Not aiming high enough “It is in the nature of extraordinary goals to inspire extraordinary effort.” “Satisfaction is directly proportional to the degree of difficulty in reaching the goal.” Among the blind, the one-eyed man is king
- 35. Self-congratulation Is like self-strangulation and as lethal But unlike it – you feel nice while you die Ask tough questions Face harsh reality Take steps to change If it happened in the past you had nothing to do with it
- 36. 3. Excuses and blaming Stop blaming others for your situation Analyze what went wrong and create a plan to avoid it in the future. Being objective, even hard, on yourself is the best way to avoid repeating mistakes. Making excuses indicates that you still haven’t learnt your lesson
- 39. How to succeed?
- 40. The Crucial Question How much do I truly need success? As much as I need food? Or as much as I need air? 40
- 41. Set your Goal Imagine that you are listening to your own farewell speech being delivered by someone who has worked with you, for many years and knows you very well. What would you like to hear? 41
- 42. Tools 1. Ta’alluq Ma’Allah: Tahajjud and Dua 2. Structuring time: Discipline 3. Manners: Ability to deal with people 4. Self – Assessment Disciplined implementation
- 43. Remember 1. You can only give what you have so if you want to give, check what you have 2. You can justify anything to yourself – but that doesn’t make it right 3. Fundamental laws don’t change for anyone
- 44. Gravity is a fundamental law. So is success – the difference between free fall and free flight is in the landing. 44
- 45. SELF Ideas Beliefs Dreams Values REWARD Power Friends Reward Fame INTERACTION Actions Speech Stances Decisions
- 46. Inner influences the Outer 1. Relationships are based on words. 2. Words are indicators of mental models and attitudes. 3. When words are changed the attitudes behind them change as well. 4. And new rewards become visible 46 Who I Am influences what I Do, which determines what I Get
- 47. Time Activity 4.30 5.00 5.30 6.00 6.30 7.00 7.30 Record what you do every half hour, for the whole day Time Log
- 48. How much time do you have remaining? Effective Time Actual Time – Maintenance Time = Available Time Available time used in achieving you Life Goal = Effective Time (E T)
- 49. 4 – Keys for Effective Time 1. Investment – Impact Analysis 2. 3 x 3 Rule 3. Delegate: Urgent – Important Analysis 4. Learn to say the magic word: “No.” Productivity is directly proportional to E T
- 50. IMPACT 20% of what you do, produces 80% of the results INVESTMENT Investment – impact Analysis Eliminate Hard work Do if you have to Leverage Investment Impact
- 51. 3 x 3 Rule 1. List 3 activities you need to do in order of priority 2. Then start on the 1st and continue until you finish it. If you are interrupted, go back to it and complete it. Then go on to the next. 3. If any are left over, re-write the list the next day in the same way.
- 52. IMPACT 20% of what you do, produces 80% of the results INVESTMENT Urgent – Important Analysis Urgent Important Urgent Not Important Urgent and Important Not Urgent Not Important Important Not Urgent
- 53. The magic word – No!! Develop Assertiveness: “Self expression through which one stands up for one’s rights without violating the rights of others.”
- 54. How to say, ‘No!’ 1. Smile and say, ‘Yes but not now.’ 2. Get out of Face Book and all chats 3. Your Inbox is not your To-Do list: Create filters 4. You don’t have to respond to chat messages 5. Never interrupt others: Take an appointment 6. Make punctuality an obsession: Time is a number 7. Never forward emails
- 55. Why Manners? 1. Because we can’t succeed alone 2. Because people work for their reasons, not yours 3. Because we will be remembered not by what we did but by how we made people feel 4. Because a smile opens more doors than anything else 55 Because our manners are our signature, our brand
- 56. Life is math – I x U = R 1. Think of any interaction as an equation It has two sides which produce the outcome What happens on either side affects the outcome 2. We control only one side, but…. We can choose whatever outcome we want 56 Development is a product of thought, not time
- 57. I x U = R 2 x 2 = 4 My action x Your reaction = Result Reaction can only be controlled by controlling the action 57 The result is the outcome of our actions
- 59. The Price of Success Success, like everything else, has a price. We often don’t succeed simply because we are not willing to pay that price. It is therefore essential that we are clear about what the price of success in our lives is and if we are willing to pay it. So ask, ‘WiiFM?’
- 60. What’s the price of MY success? In terms of the challenges that I face today, what do I need to do if I want to be a ‘Master’ and not a ‘Victim’? What is the investment that I need to make in order to succeed? Return is proportionate to investment
- 61. Goal Setting Being I want to be a doctor I want to be a pilot I want to be a teacher Doing I want to help sick people I want to take people safely from place to place I want to ….. To be you have to do To do you don’t have to be Unless you do you will never be
- 62. Set SMART Goals S M A R T 1. Specific 2. Measurable 3. Actionable 4. Realistic 5. Time bound
- 63. Price of your Success? Start 1 2 Stop 1 2 Continue 1 2
