GIOVINEZZA

Well ....it all started with a dream ..na..more of an idea...na dream..hmm..both. That's better. When the first time they (the youth group members) proposed it. I said Vow what a thought. But I blasted them too. Not because I did not like the idea or the dream of our own Youth Festival but because the idea was the put up before the group in a way that it should not have been. Had it been somebody else they would have been disheartened. Not our boys (and girls too). They sold the idea of what started with a few to the full group. 

That was about three weeks ago. Over the past three weeks they have managed to do their bit and move ahead on making the dream into a reality. That takes some guts. Especially when you have not done anything on scale that you are aiming at. True they have experience of successfully organizing programs before hand too. But what they are trying attempt is to get a few thousand youths to a part of this festival over period of three days. Now that is something really to aim for. They all know how tough its going to be. But deep within their hearts is a burning desire to make it happen successfully. More importantly are the efforts to push themselves hard and that by not compromising on their studies. Now that's really something to be proud of. And I am to be associated with them. Seeing them I realized one thing though what it means to live your dream.  The response on Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=278865938790559 and specially created website (http://giovinezza.co.cc/) has been really encouraging too. 

Way to go St. Michael's Youth Group, Manickpur....way to go.

All the best.

You Are Not The Only One

You just stumbled upon a brilliant idea. You have to come to believe its a gem of an idea. You have a strong intuition its going to be game changer. You want to turn it into an enterprise. You are excited, since your long cherished entrepreneurial dream is now sure to see daylight. You start putting things in place in run up to your dream venture. You are fiercely protective of your idea and taking every precaution to not let it out. Somehow you believe, you are the only one ever to think about it and if you do share it with someone else, chances are - they may rob you of the idea. So you are not willing to let your guard down. And therefore are reluctant to share, discuss and deliberate the idea with anyone else. At times, even with some who might help you shape and execute the idea. The anxiety and the insecurity of loosing your baby (that too even before its been thoroughly conceived) holds you back. If this is what you have experienced and this what you still believe. Let m...

The Worst and The Best.

What's the worst thing you can possibly do in your life? Make mistakes. Do something terribly wrong. Goof up something. Be where you were not meant to be. Wrong decisions that you made. The list can go on and on. You can add to it. But to me, whatever you add to the list above never will be the worst thing your life.There is always something or the other to pick up and learn from a mistake, a goof up, a wrong choice. And they are not the worst things, because you at least did something, rather than not doing anything at all. So what then is the worst thing you can do in your life? The worst thing you can do is do nothing at all. Yes, not doing anything at all is worst mistake you can make. For  it is then you cede control of your life. You are no longer the master of your fate. Rather fate or somebody else dictates your life on their terms. So what is it that you are waiting for? Go ahead make a move. Do something. Even if it's tip toeing. Just do it. For t...

Day 9 - The Power of Understanding

The words “I understand” hold immense power. In the TV show Two and a Half Men , Charlie Harper often uses this phrase, sometimes with humorous intent. But beyond the humor, these two simple words—"I understand"—carry a depth and magic that is often overlooked. Understanding is the first step toward empathy. It reflects a willingness to connect with another person's experience, their emotions, and their perspective. Yet, to truly understand, we must pause and reflect on what we mean when we say it.  Do we really understand what the other person is going through?  Are we merely acknowledging their words, or are we trying to feel what they feel? True understanding isn’t about sympathy or offering solutions. It’s about resonance.  Do we truly feel the depth of someone’s anxiety or pain, or are we simply familiar with the emotion?  Does understanding require us to have lived through similar circumstances, or is it possible to grasp the weight of another’s experience even...
