Aristotle had once said, “Humans are social animals”. True, it is our basic nature. We can’t survive outside society. To fulfill our different needs, we have different people in our society? The role based arrangement is well constructed. We deal with colleagues at office while we share our emotions with our friends, families. We need [...]

A Little Extra
Posted By Nitesh Ambuj on April 22nd, 2009
Human mind is always tickling to achieve more. It sees many dreams. It craves to grab many things. A student wants to top in the class while a racer wants to be the first in the race. A CEO wants to take his company at numero uno position while a boxer wants to win gold in the Olympics. One question which prompts every mind is “how to achieve all this?” There are several “mantras” to succeed. Many a times these are situational but there’s one mantra which applies everywhere. It’s “A-Little-Extra”. It’s the difference between achievers and followers.
You may like to read Sir Walter Raleigh’s story who applied this principle and grabbed the first position in his class. Or, you may like to see the video on 212 degree approach where just one extra degree heat makes water so powerful. The point is simple, “a-little-extra” always makes difference. It separates the good from the great. It gives you an edge. It helps you to achieve that first spot and it helps to remain at top. You just need to put a little extra effort in whatever you do. If you are a student and you study for 5 hours a day, make it 6 hours a day now onwards. If you are a professional who works 8 hours a day, make it 9 hours from now. If you are a blogger who writes 10 blogs in a month, make it 15 going forward. You should always remember that the difference between mediocrity and greatness is a little extra effort.
Now, the choice is yours. You want to make a difference like a human being or you want to just creep like an insect for your entire life. The difference is just “a-little-extra”.
Very recently, I gave my project 3 speech on this subject in Salt Lake Toastmasters Club.
My Valentine's Day Mail (2008)

Sabki Khushi Ki Chah Karte Hain,
Bus Itna Sa Gunah Karte Hain,
Aaj Phir Unke Intezar Mein Baithe Hain,
Dekhna Hai Yaaro Kab Wo Humein Yaad karte Hain..
To try to write love is to confront the muck of language: that region of hysteria where language is both too much and too little, excessive and impoverished. Still, I tried to write love. I tried to convey that if you have love, you don’t need to have anything else, and if you don’t have it, it doesn’t matter much what else you have.
Sometimes when you look back on a situation, you realize it wasn’t all you thought it was. A beautiful girl walked into your life. You fell in love. Or did you? Maybe it was only a childish infatuation, or maybe just a brief moment of vanity. In any case it becomes a beautiful memory, some moment which you would cherish for your entire life.
If you observe carefully you would find that the greatest weakness of most humans is their hesitancy to tell others how much they love them while they’re still alive. On this special occasion I would like to urge you, please get out of your weakness, open your heart and express your feelings.
Don’t get into deep to understand what love is. Play the music of your heart and listen the lovely composition which is true, pure and untainted by any greedy human mind. I’m saying this because you will find, as you look back upon your life, that the moments when you really lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love.
To love abundantly is to live abundantly, and to love forever is to live forever. And always remember, Real love stories never have endings.
Wish you all a very Happy Valentine’s Day.
With Lots of Love,
Ambuj
