Singing in the rain !!!

Firstly, How do few people maintain the same calm and composure no matter how worse things get for them ! These people face controversies and challenges everyday. But yet, they stand , stand taller than everybody. They smile, whenever they are down and out, they smile, whenever they win, they smile , and whenever they lose, yet they smile ! You need examples huh ? Here they are - ShahRukh Khan -- Has faced great deal of controversies, was written off by the media several times, but yet, since the past 11 years he has been the numero uno actor in India. No matter what he touches it turns to gold( yeah yeah except the KKR performance in IPL 2009). But still he stands tall..and he will fight back !!! Watch out for KKR in IPL 2010...I still love Deccan Chargers [:D]..

Sourav Ganguly : All of you know very very well.... How many times was he termed "unfit" in the Indian team...After being labelled the most successful captain of India, I wonder how people can throw him to the other extreme so quickly ? But still he did not pay heed to what the others thought of him...He stuck to his guns...Believed in himself...And got back into team India to score a few more centuries, thereby silencing his critics before his retirement !

And there are many more celebrities like him who've always believed in themselves and handle every situation(whether sunny or rainy) so well that they are the one's who dance in the storm and sing in the rain. Bill Clinton, Rahul Dravid, Mike Tyson, Janet Jackson( Her reshaped body is amazing),Oh, and what about Oprah? etc etc etc...So many of them...



And I've known a few close pals of mine . Everyone used to tell him that clearing all subjects and passing with a respectable percentage was never gonna be possible for him. But here he is today, having far better percentage and prospects than anyone else. Agreed, first two years he couldn't manage the pressure(maybe because of the company he was in)...But in the third and fourth years, he was a totally different person...Hats off Mr. Future MLA [ *wink*]



So what separates these people from the crowd ?? Here are a few things I could manage gathering from a few sources(including news papers and Robin Sharma books) and my friends too

--> Don't label any situation or experiences as good or bad. Everything is just an experience.

--> Always try to be happy...kya try ! Better be happy [:p]....Even though the situation is difficult...TRY being happy always

--> Don't get affected by bad news...Stay calm...Do not react ( The M.S. Dhoni style ;) )

--> Choose your emotions . Keep saying "I choose to be confident and happy"

--> Conserve your energy, do not let people sap it

--> If you are hurt, don't be dependent on anyone else to heal ( Kartik Parimal totally agrees :p)

--> Don't be imprisoned in your past or have self pity. ( especially dedicated to my ECE cricket team and for all those who've broken up with your girlfriends/boyfriends :p)



And finally, The Ultimate measure of a person is not where he stands in moments of confidence but where he stands at times of challenge, troubles and controversies.



Hope this helps atleast 2% of all those who've read this....Cheers everyone :)
