Doing Multiple things at a time is possible!

              "You cannot stand on two different boats at the same time."This is what we have learnt or heard from our elders,teachers,well-wishers etc.It's absolutely TRUE but not IMPOSSIBLE.I mean that it's very true for most of the cases and most of the people but it's not impossible.It is possible from those people who have the strength and courage to stand on two different boats and yet manage to be safe enough.

            It's actually true that all of us would have done multiple things at the same time atleast once or more in our life.At the same time,we would have failed at it many times.This 'failure' stays in your mind and you feel that doing multiple things is difficult but remembering/keeping in mind,the times you have succeeded doing multiple things at a time will give you a positive feeling about doing multiple things at the same time.

          Multiple things at the same time,example??               

        Well,I will give some examples that involves doing multiple things at the same time.This will make you realize that,'Yes,I can do or have done multiple things at the same time.'

Example: Speaking to someone over phone while riding bike or driving car.Have you done this??If yes,it shows that you have done multiple things at the same time and succeeded(Provided,that you dint meet up with an accident).Let me explain what all do you do at the same time in the above example.Firstly,you are riding bike.Secondly,you are speaking to someone over phone.Speaking obviously involves concentration and attention.When you are speaking and the other person tells something,you imagine or feel or think or realize and hence you give work to your brain.At the same time,you have to pay attention on the road to be safe and your brain again does the work of paying attention on the road.So,clearly your brain had two works and it could do both of them simultaneously and successfully.

              But what actually happens is your mind doesn't think much about this example and instead thinks of examples in which you would have failed doing two things at the same time.This will lower your confidence or make you develop negative feeling about doing multiple things at the same time.A person who has control over mind and only thinks of examples/events in which he had succeeded doing multiple things at the same time,feels that it's possible to do multiple things at the same time.So,it mainly depends on belief,courage and control over mind.

         I conclude by telling that doing one thing at a time is cool and good but doing multiple things at the same time is definitely possible if you have the belief,courage and control over mind.

Preparation for Ganesh chaturthi

 

         'Ganesh chaturthi' is a Hindu festival celebrated in honor of the god Ganesha.Ganesha is considered to be the god of beginnings and wisdom and also the remover of obstacles.It is one of the Hindu festival which is celebrated with happiness,enthusiasm and mainly with preparation of variety of dishes and sweets.

           Ganesh chaturthi involves installing Ganesha idols or statues in colourfully decorated homes and also in specially erected temporary structures(pandals) in every locality.It definitely needs a humongous preparation on the eve of the festival to ensure that everything goes on amazingly on the day of the festival.

              We friends have been celebrating Ganesh chaturthi from past two years by installing Ganesha idol in decorated pandals near my home.And this year being the third year and tomorrow being the festival,there was a lot of preparation to be done.Firstly,we had to collect monetary contributions from the people in our locality.Luckily,we got some amazing and generous people who helped us by giving large monetary contributions.We also had to order for the pandals,speakers,focus light.I would like to thank my friend Akash who helped us by giving speakers and focus light by their own shop.We had ordered for pandals two days back and it finally got installed in the right place today.

               A very generous friend of ours helped us by contributing the entire money required for the Ganesha idol.So,the important work which was pending was to clean up the area where the idol will be installed and make suitable platform for installation of the idol.So it was time for us to put our heart and soul and keep everything ready for tomorrow.

            As soon as we all finished our dinner,we got on to the field and started working.We being a 'team' was definitely a plus point.We had to do various works like cleaning the floor and then putting on the carpet,making suitable platform for placing the idol and checking the lights.The idol of God Ganesha will be placed tomorrow morning followed by a profound Pooja.Pooja is a prayer ritual performed by Hindus to host,honour and worship one or more deities.

            Finally,we finished all the works and the place is completely ready which will become COMPLETE after placing the idol of Ganesha.It was a wonderful feeling as we all worked so late in the night without any cribbing or unwillingness.We did it with happiness and enthusiasm.This is making me feel wonderful.

          I am also feeling happy and grateful that even after doing all this,i sat down to write my today's blogpost and completed it as well.I wish a happy festival to all Hindus and everyone celebrating 'Ganesh chaturthi.'May god remove all the obstacles in your life and bestow his graces and favours upon you.

Start DOING!!!!

        In our lives we tend to waste more time when we spend more time on thinking or planning but end up not implementing it into ACTION.According to me there is only one solution for this issue.The solution is to 'Start Doing.'

           Dreams become reality when you start doing,irrespective of how much ever you plan or how well you plan.It is the 'Action' that matters.There is a wonderful quote to describe this : "Everyone has the will to win or everyone knows the plan to win but only few have the will to prepare to win."

            Anyone and everyone in this world can dream of big things or speak about it but only few make sure that they DO what they tell.The ones who don't show any progress are those who just speak and don't do anything.There is proverb that suits the above explanation : "Barking dogs seldom bite."Yes,the ones who just speak and don't implement it in action are like barking dogs,which just barks but doesn't bite.

           One main advantage of starting to do something is you save time.Remember,'Time is money.'And also you come to know the merits or demerits of your plan when you start doing.You might sit here and plan to climb Mount Everest by wearing a very thick jacket that helps you withstand the cold,by taking sufficient food etc.But when you start doing or atleast start to know more about it,you will get to know that the oxygen level also decreases as you go up,what if your jacket cannot withstand the coldness which is present at certain heights while climbing the Mount Everest and so on.So I seriously recommend everyone to Start doing.

              What about planning,isn't it necessary?

No,I never told that planning is not necessary.It is definitely necessary.Infact,you cannot do anything without planning.For example,when you want to construct a house and there is no house-plan with you.You might start off but even a slight mistake or a slight variation will leave you perplexed.At the same time,construction with a house-plan will always give you a clear picture of what you have to do and also helps you to easily find out your mistakes and correct them.Planning also saves a lot of time in execution.Hence,planning is completely necessary.What is not necessary is too much of planning.Plan as much as there is a need for it and then START DOING.Because how much ever you plan or how well you plan,it is the RESULTS which matters.

            I had many works in my to-do list,I was thinking what to do and how to do all of them.After thinking for a while I thought let me start doing and it might help me finish everything soon.And it seriously HELPS!!!!!I STARTED writing this blogpost and successfully compiled it.I am happy for the completed blogpost and this definitely increased my confidence and interest to finish all other works.

Hopefully,this blogpost was meaningful and knowledgeable.

Uncovering the Need

           In Sales,some products are definitely needed for survival and hence there is no requirement of making people realize about the need of it.Whereas it is required to uncover the need of certain products/things because people don't realize the need of such products/things.

THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF NEEDS-VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE :

The visible need is where the prospect is aware of the pain or the problem and actively responds to or takes action,without somebody prompting him.These needs are like food clothing and shelter.These are necessities.People go out and purchase them.Price may not be a consideration.

         The invisible need is where the prospect has to be made aware of the gain in owning and pain of not having.When we talk of the profession of selling,we refer to the market segment of the invisible need.This represents the majority of market segment and an opportunity for the selling profession.

          HOW IS UNCOVERING THE NEED USEFUL

Very simple.Uncovering the need is nothing but showing or making someone understand the benefit/profit/joy of having that particular thing and loss/sorrow of not having it.Hence,uncovering the need is important to make people cognizant of essential things in life.

WHY DON'T PEOPLE RECOGNIZE THE NEEDS THAT DO EXIST : 

 There are three main reasons why people don't RECOGNIZE the needs that do exist :

1. Complacence : People resist change.They are complacent with what they have and have a callous attitude for any new thing.They wait for something to break and then their need turns from invisible to visible.One best example is Life insurance,vehicle insurance,health insurance,personality development and so on.

2. Indifference : The 'who cares,''it's not my job,''everybody knows of the problem' attitude.This is a non caring attitude which keeps people unaware of many needs.

3. Ignorance : The prospect does not know that he does not know.He needs to be educated.

I would like to conclude by asking you to uncover the need to make people cognizant about it.

IU1010 Alumni Meet

                Wow!It was such an AMAZING SUNDAY for all the IU1010 leaders as we had an IU1010 All Seasons Alumni Meet.It means that all the IU1010 leaders of different seasons had met together after a very long time along with our LOVELY and TEREFFIC Mentors.

           Well,for those who do not know about IU1010.IU1010 is a platform in which only ten youths are selected from across the city of Bangalore and are personally trained by International Inspirational Speaker Sujit Lalwani and IU Team.The criteria for getting into this platform is not your marks or height or weight or strength or anything,you just need to have a touch of MADNESS in you.Isn't that amazing???I feel proud that I was MAD enough to get selected for the first season of IU1010.

                Though all the IU1010 leaders of different seasons had not turned up,a decent gathering of around 23 Leaders from all the seasons was present.However,the number din't matter as we had loads of fun.

            Our mentors were completely happy today and they had purposefully not planned any agenda for this meet.They wanted to see how this 'Agendaless Agenda' will unfold.It did happen to be a great event.We recalled our best moments during IU1010.We also got to know about some experiences of leaders from different seasons which we were not aware of.Some of the IU1010 leaders did mimicry of the mentors.We really enjoyed and laughed a lot.Even our mentors enjoyed watching it,they just laughed their heart out.Then we had a photo session,wherein leaders got photographs with their mentors,some IU1010 leaders took photographs with other leaders of different season and so on.

             It was a long time since I had met my mentors and hence I enjoyed meeting them.This meet also made me wear formals and my blazer after a long time.IU1010 used to happen on Sundays and even this meet was today,which is a Sunday.So I believe that SUNDAYS in my life are when there is something related to IU1010.Nonetheless,my SUNDAYS are always truly amazing when I spend it with my parents and my goody friend.

              This Sunday was even more wonderful as I visited my school after a very long period.There was a function to felicitate the achievers in different fields,which was held in our school itself.It is called 'Prathiba puraskara Samarambha',organised by an association called 'Hyderabad-Karnataka Shikshanika hagu Samskrutika Sangha.'I had been to this function as one of my cousin uncle was getting felicitated for his TEREFFIC work in the field of medicine.He is an orthopedician.

            Overall it was an amazing Sunday.May the Sundays in my life be more meaningful and wonderful than this and I definitely like to spend it more with my goody friend.

Thank you for reading.

I am happy for whatever I am!

           I am feeling very happy and grateful for whatever I am today.I love myself for whatever I am.'If you don't love yourself,who else will love you?'So,first start loving yourself and start being happy for whatever you are.

          Folks,always remember that we all have some or the other special talent in us.We only have to find that special talent in us.Just because you are not good in studies or you are fat or you are thin or you can't run fast or you dint get placed in a company after graduation or any such thing,doesn't mean that you are not good compared to others.YOU are definitely a unique person,all that you need to do is to find that UNIQUENESS in you.Your uniqueness may be studying,running,eating,thinking,caring,loving etc.So,never underestimate yourself by comparing yourself with others in something which you are not good at.Infact,never compare yourself with others,compare yourself with what you were yesterday and that will show your exact position in the race of life.

              Well!!I am happy for whatever I am today and I very much know that this is just the beginning and there is lot more to happen.My profound thanks to my lovely parents,my wonderful brother,my gooody friend,my Tereffic Mentors and my friends for their constant support and encouragement which has helped me become whatever I am today.

          "No one cares about your self esteem,you have to do something before you feel good about yourself."I feel happy that I am feeling good about myself after having done so many things which a person of my age would not have done.But I have thousands of people of my age who have done more than what I have done and that is what makes me keep doing more PRODUCTIVE things to become the BEST.

              I am pursuing my engineering degree and I have done a lot more things than my normal engineering studies and other normal things which 90% of students pursuing engineering degree would have done.First and foremost,I have realized and understood the value of 'TIME' and I love to LIVE each minute of my life to the fullest.I don't feel bad when I miss a movie or when I don't get to go on a bike ride or when I don't get to watch a movie of my choice but I definitely feel very bad when I waste even a single minute of my life.I believe one who has understood the value of time will definitely make his/her life meaningful and worthy enough.

            I was part of an amazing platform called IU1010,a platform in which only ten youths are selected from across Bangalore and are personally trained by International inspirational Speaker-"Sujit Lalwani."I am so grateful that I was one of the ten selected youth in the first season of iu1010.I even won the title of 'Online Superstar.'I have also worked as an 'Ads Representative' for a renowned inspirational e-Magazine-"IU e-Magazine."I also was an ambassador of an wonderful conference based platform called "I3."I3 stands for Influence Inspire Impact.I have also worked as ambassador of an amazing NGO called 36meals.com,which aims at ensuring that people don't waste even a morsel of food and also donate needy people with food.

               I also have understood the value of money at such a young age and have saved a lot of money.I believe that 'a rupee saved is a rupee earned.'So,I would like to say that I have earned a lot of money till now.

            I developed passion for blogging when I was a part of IU1010 and I have been blogging since then.I have successfully compiled more than 200 blogposts till date.

             Above all of these I do something which makes a completely UNIQUE person compared to others of my age-'I DREAM BIG.'I have a dream of owning a bike called Hayabusa worth Rs.20 Lakhs before I pass out of my engineering.I am damn sure that I will accomplish this dream of mine very shortly.I really feel very happy for this unique quality of dreaming big.

           These are some of the things which really make me feel happy and grateful for whatever I am.I love and respect my parents and my family for their love,trust and encouragement.I am whatever I am because of my parents.

              I would love to conclude this blogpost by saying,'Love yourself first and always compare yourself with what you were yesterday.'

        Hopefully,I have done justice to your time which you spent while reading this blogpost.

Thank you for reading.

Converting features into benefits in Sales

          Always remember that features only describe a product but not benefits.People need or get convinced by the benefits of the product.So,it is very essential to convert a feature into a benefit.

          Convert a feature into a benefit.Does this mean changing the truth of the product??No,it means to describe the feature in the form of a benefit.For example,Speed is a feature,time and money-saving are benefits.I would like to share a few features and benefits

FEATURES                     BENEFITS

Strong/Strength                    Cost saving

Durable                               Safety/Security

Speed                                 Dependability

Big                                     Saves time

Small                                  make money 

Good quality                       Feel good

Accuracy                            Comfort 

Prompt delivery                  Compact 

Latest technology                long lasting 

Online service                     peace of mind

Over the phone service       prestige

Less power consumption    status symbol

                                          Increase productivity 

                                          Eliminate fear or loss

                                          Convenience 

                                          Give pleasure

                                          Give health

The benefits fall in two categories-Either to gain a benefit or to avoid a loss.The following table shows how a particular product or service can be described as gaining a benefit or avoiding a loss.

PRODUCT OR SERVICE	GAIN	AVOID LOSS
LIFE INSURANCE	Gives peace of mind, security	Prevents disaster in case of untimely death
MULTI-VITAMINS	Good health	Illness
COSMETICS	Good looks	Uncertainty as to how you look or smell
