Seniors’ talk – your take

After watching the senior's videos, I came to a conclusion to take these points from them.
From Bhashwar:
 I didn't actively participate in any interaction sessions or clubs ,From my second year
onward I will join as many clubs as possible and work on my communication skills
with others ,interacting with new people.
 Living life to the fullest, I'm not sure that he enjoyed his life a lot ,but I will try to
achieve whatever I choose and enjoy every moment in my life.
 Confident: He believed himself ,his idea and went on to achieve it even it didn't
last ,I'm inspired by his belief on his instinct and going with it is the most inspiring
thing that I would to take away.
 NEVER GIVE UP: After the failure of his first Start Up, He didn't give up there else
he decided to go with some other idea.
 So, finally I want to take away his never giving up mind ,self belief, keeping
confident on the work we commit.
From Breasha:
 Like her ,I am also a bit confused to want to do. I will take some POR or any
interesting work and I will try to know myself and my responsibilities.
From Ravi Khatri:
 Find your own passion and work on it. Being productive for the most time, I need to
focus on what I really wanted to do.
 Building healthy relationship with everyone in the insti. I will try to interact with
seniors, getting some of the advice whenever I need.

TED TALKS

Alison Ledgerwood :Why does a failure seem to stick in our minds so much longer than a
success? According to social psychologist Alison Ledgerwood, our perception of the world tends to
lean negative, and reframing how we communicate could be the key to unlocking a more positive
outlook. In this sharp talk, Ledgerwood shares a simple trick for kicking negative thinking to the
curb so we can start focusing on the upside.

Failure means Lack of success. But it is not an end from where you cannot get
success .Failure gives us the experience we lack in making something successful like how to
do it, where we did mistakes, what are the lessons we learnt. In general ,People are obsessed
with success or feared to failure. If they fail ,they will not overcome it instead they will stay
worrying about the results , consequences. We need to start seeing the positive side of things.
We have to be optimistic. To become a positive thinker, we should start thinking about the
good things that happened to us or doing something productive for a period of time where we
will be able to get small results which gives confidence to go on or helping others in their
work so that they won't be failed. Sticking to the failure is not the thing one should has to do.

We can get rid of the negative thoughts and failure feelings are:
 Start listening to the people who succeeded from facing failures.
 Keep yourself anxious about anything which you are going to do.
 Never waste time that does not matter you.

Some of the success people saw the failures in these ways.

 Edison ,who invented bulb, was asked why he failed 1000 times in inventing a
bulb .He replied like you think I had failed 1000 times but I think I had founded 1000
ways not to make a bulb.
 Dhoni after a bowler having a bad day, he will just say it's not his day ,we need to
look into the areas where we lack.
 After losing a world cup final, Sangakkara and Williamson, they just smiled and left
it.
After a failure one should leave it , look for the ways of winning it.
