You Can Be Whatever You Want To Be!

There is inside you
All of the potential
To be whatever you want to be;
All of the energy
To do whatever you want to do.
Imagine yourself as you would like to be,
Doing what you want to do,
And each day, take one step
Towards your dream.
And though at times it may seem too difficult to continue,
Hold on to your dream.
One morning you will awake to find
That you are the person you dreamed of,
Doing what you wanted to do,
Simply because you had the courage
To believe in your potential
And to hold on to your dream!!!!

Just the 2 of Us!!!

Holding hands as tight as I could
As we walk on a road less traveled
The long silence and the long conversation
In a place sans gadgets and technology
Cuddling warmth of our proximity
And all the heat it generates in a breezy winter
I argue as hard as I do, yet it ends up as a mere discussion
Because its you who is listening
The gentle kiss on the forehead
As my face rests on your hands
Blazing streaks of campfire heading sky-high
And rustling leaves heaped on our grass bed
I hold you tight and bury my head onto your chest
As your tender hands cover me from behind
There is no tomorrow
There is no today
There is just this moment that we spend
This wonderful day that repeats itself a lifetime!
It doesn’t matter if the world comes to an end
I have lived…With You
Morning dreams, they say, come true!

Ideal Research paper for Journal/Conferences ll be in the form of......

Writing a good research paper that get acceptance in top tire journals like IEEE Transaction, Elsevier, ACM and Springer publication is a difficult task. As these journals follow a strict blind review process and need a clear and significant contribution and a research flavor.

Most of the students usually do a great work during their B.Tech, M.Tech or MCA projects but due to lack of understanding and guidance of writing a good research paper make their efforts go unrecognized. This post gives a list of basic ingredients and basic structure for a good research paper in Engineering. This structure can also benefit in writing research papers in science and management too.

There are six basic elements of a research paper. They are, Abstract, Overview and Problem statement, Literature survey, Proposed Method, Experimental data analysis and results, Conclusion and References. A good research paper is a combination of these sections, where every section is written as best as it should be....

Abstract: it gives concise information about the paper. Usually it consist of six to seven short sentences and of 150~200 words. A good Abstract includes a statement about problem, proposed solution, and a statement about the datasets and results. A final statement that addresses the contribution of the paper to the relevant field of research. Make this very simple precise and understandable, as readers will decided to read complete paper or not after reading Abstract.

Overview and Problem Statement: This section consists of several paragraphs. This section addresses the problem domain (field or area), its importance and applications. Solving an important problem with good application will usually lead to a good paper. The best practice is to make this section simple clear and easy to understand. If possible try to add references each statement addressing the importance and application.

Literature survey: This section contains information about the existing methods available to solve the same problem or related problems. A good literature survey usually contains a comprehensive and exhaustive list of methods used in past, their advantages and disadvantages and their applications. If possible identify a research gap from the previous research articles...

Proposed Method: This section and results are heart of the paper. Every minute detail about the proposed method need be explained in this section. It is better to write this section considering that you are writing it for a person who doesn’t know anything about the field and you need to explain him the solution.

Experimental data analysis and results: This section contains information about experimental data generation or collection and its properties. Application of data to proposed and other existing methods and a deep analysis of result and their validation make this as an ideal section.

Conclusions: A good conclusion to the paper usually contain two to three paragraphs mentioning the superior properties of the proposed solution compared to existing methods and state its significance in the field with useful applications.

References: these research papers published in journals or conferences and relevant to the research work being written for the publications. Make sure that the format given by the journal is followed for all references and all of them are cited in the paper.

Stop viewing priorities VERTICALLY...Start seeing priorities HORIZONTALLY.!!!

There is no way to happiness....Happiness is the way.!!!

First remember, what cannot be achieved through happiness cannot be achieved through unhappiness. So, let everything come and go; let happiness go on. Happiness is in accepting what 'is' as 'is' with gratitude; loving it; cherishing it; celebrating it; and living out of it. It is in the recognition that I could not have asked for more than what has already been given. It is that transformation that He knows what is best for me and what is best for me has already been given to me. It is the realization that the best of everything that I have in my life has been given to me without me ever having to ask for it. It is that thankfulness that He made me as me and not as anyone else. Happiness is about knowing that the life that is flowing through me is the greatest benediction and everything else that I might add or lose in this lifetime are mere details. It is about being intoxicated with every moment of life and the heart expressing it with tears of gratitude. Above all, it is in knowing that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. A happy heart radiates those positive vibrations that have the power to bring even divinity to your doorstep.

Happiness is the only good. 

The time to be happy is now. 

The place to be happy is here.

The way to be happy is to make others so.

                                               - Robert Green Ingersoll

Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn!

Look to this Day!

For it is Life, the very Life of Life.

In its brief course lie all the

Verities and Realities of your Existence.

The Bliss of Growth,

The Glory of Action,

The Splendour of Beauty;

For Yesterday is but a Dream,

And To-morrow is only a Vision;

But To-day well lived makes

Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness,

And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope.

Look well therefore to this Day!

Such is the Salutation of the Dawn!

                                               - Kalidasa

It is easy enough to be pleasant,

When life flows along like a song;

But the man worthwhile is the one who will smile

When everything goes dead wrong.

                                               - Ella WheelerWilcox

When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but, often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us. Many people have a wrong idea of what constitutes true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification, but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.                                                                                                                                      - Helen Keller

Happiness is not a brilliant climax to years of grim struggle and anxiety. It is a long succession of little decisions simply to be happy in the moment. -J Donald Walters

Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory.   - Albert Schweitzer

I have learned to seek my happiness by limiting my desires, rather than in attempting to satisfy them. - John Stuart Mill

Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. - Mahatma Gandhi

Happiness comes when your work and words are of benefit to yourself and others. - Buddha

The grand essentials of happiness are, something to do, someone to love, and something to hope for. - Allan K. Chalmers

LiFe is a journey, not a destination!!!

Well I am not a philosopher & not a priest & not a writer, & millions of people have already written too much on life so there's no point adding a drop of water to the ocean...but would just like to write a few lines that I have experienced in life.

For me this age is too short a span for experience, in fact it's just the beginning of my journey in the real world. There is too much to come in life. I have to cross the ocean & I am just at the shore as of now. However there is this 1 thing I have learned ( till now). No matter how difficult a situation is or no matter how worst of the situations we are in; at the end, we overcome it triumphantly.

I heard this somewhere - ' Good times give us a lot of happiness, but there is this one bad thing about good times, it ends. Similarly, bad times give us a lot of pains but one good thing about the bad times is that even it ends.' This is so true. All we need to have is a little patience, confidence, hope, courage, strength & the most important thing 'FAITH'.

'Have Faith in your Faith'----> One of the best lines I have ever come across. If you believe you can do something or you can't do something; in either case you are right.

God has already planned our life & HE has already written a beautiful future for us, all we need to do is, Trust him today. I know I have miles to go but till now even I have been in situations which seemed so impossible that I thought life would never be the same again. But after every dark night there's a beautiful morning. And same was the case with me.

In fact there is no such thing as problems in our life. It's our view about the situation that is the problem. Some people just keep cribbing through out life- Exam tensions, getting a job tension, tensions at job, Family problems, friends & love problems & what not. And in this process we lose the joys of life. Why not look at the brighter side of it??? It might be easier said than done, but we need to do that.

I was jobless for morethan a year after my engineering. Many of my friends were also in the same state & every time we used to meet they used to keep crying for job & all. However I just had 1 thing in mind, when the right time comes, I will get one. I enjoyed that year by doing all things I love. I had faith that I would. Eventually I got one after many tries.

Problems of life are like a snake crossing our legs. If one gets worried, impatient & try to fiddle with it, it might bite us; but if we just stand still & let it pass by, it will cross without harming.

So the bottom line is that life might "APPEAR" difficult ( coz life is not difficult, it just appears to be), we need to face each phase of it with a smile.

There are no risks… only opportunities!!!!

There is no security TO life. Then where is the question of security IN life. The need for security keeps you transfixed in life. Then where is question of transcendence. Our comfort zones become our prison, within which our potential remains locked up. Imagine a banyan tree growing inside a pot - only a bonsai is possible. It may be artistic, but it doesn't serve the purpose for which it was born. There is security in remaining a seed whereas a plant is always vulnerable. But then, what is the purpose of the seed? It contains a thousand forests within. It is only in its transcendence into a plant the possibilities of a forest exist. If you do not dare to give up certainty for uncertainty, you will not move ahead. Growth is in giving up what you are to become what you can be. It is astonishing as to how the world makes way for a resolute soul! It is amazing how obstacles move out of the path of a man who chooses to transcend, than to remain transfixed. Throw yourself into the unknown. Make a rebellious move. Take a daring plunge. Many great ideas have been lost because the people who had them could not stand being laughed at. Take risks: if you win, you will be happy; if you lose, you will be wise. There are no risks… only opportunities. The higher and the beyond are awaiting us…...

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. - Helen Keller

The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing, and becomes nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn and feel and change and grow and love and live. Risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. - Leo FBuscaglia

In skating over thin ice our safety is in our speed. People wish to be settled; only as far as they are unsettled is there any hope for them. Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs. Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

If we listened to our intellect, we'd never have a love affair. We'd never have friendship. We'd never go into business, because we'd be too cynical. Well, that's nonsense. You've got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down. - Annie Dillard

There can be no vulnerability without risk; there can be no community without vulnerability; there can be no peace, and ultimately no life, without community. - M. Scott Peck

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover. - Mark Twain

There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. - Anais Nin

One doesn't discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time. - Andre Gide

I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all. - Alfred Tennyson

The pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity. The optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty. - Winston Churchill

The torment of precautions often exceeds the dangers to be avoided. It is sometimes better to abandon one's self to destiny. - Napoleon Bonaparte

You'll always miss 100% of the shots you don't take. - Wayne Gretzky

Bite off more than you can chew, then chew it. - Ella Williams

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honourable, but more useful than a life spent in doing nothing. - George Bernard Shaw

I am always doing that which I can not do, in order that I may learn how to do it. - Pablo Picasso

To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily. To not dare is to lose oneself. - Soren Kierkegaard

The young do not know enough to be prudent, and therefore they attempt the impossible and achieve it, generation after generation. - Pearl S. Buck

This nation was built by men who took risks - pioneers who were not afraid of the wilderness, businessmen who were not afraid of failure, scientists who were not afraid of the truth, thinkers who were not afraid of progress, dreamers who were not afraid of action. - Brooks Atkinson

It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult. - Seneca

A ship in harbour is safe but that is not what ships are for. - John A. Shedd

Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties. - Erich Fromm

In pursuit of Excellence!!!

In the Constitution of India, under Article 51Aon 'Fundamental Duties of every citizen of India' one of the fundamental duties of every Indian is listed as, 'To strive towards excellence in all spheres of individual and collective activity'. Lack of excellence should hurt. That which hurts instructs. That which instructs creates. What's okay is okay and what's not okay is not okay. Where there is excellence, explanations are not required. Where explanations are required, rarely you find excellence. Haven't we heard, 'Good, better, best; never let it rest till your good becomes better and your better becomes the best'. 'Zero defect' is possible. Precision is possible. Sustained excellence is possible. It all starts with the attitude to refuse to settle for anything but the best. Excellence can be obtained when you care more than what others think as wise, risk more than what others think as safe, dream more than what others think as practical, and expect more than what others think as possible. 

To excel is to continually perform. Not for a moment or moments. Not for a day or for days. But to perform day after day, month after month, and make that uncommon performance look commonplace. To excel is to take the inner drive of competition and not only embrace it, but master it. It cannot be bought or legislated or willed into existence. It must come from the depths of an individual's desire to be the best. - Melanie Erickson

The person who is a master in the art of living makes little distinction between their work and their play, their labour and their leisure, their mind and their body, their education and their recreation, their love and their religion. They hardly know which is which. They simply pursue their vision of excellence and grace in whatever they do, leaving others to decide whether they are working or playing. To them, they are always doing both. - Zen Buddhism

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything be excellent or praiseworthy, think about such things. - Philippians 4:8 

When you discover what you will be in your life, set out to do it as if God Almighty called you at this particular moment in history to do it. Don't just set out to do a good job. Set out to do such a good job that the living, the dead or the unborn couldn't do it any better. If it falls your lot to be a street sweeper, sweep streets like Michelangelo painted pictures, sweep streets like Beethoven composed music, sweep streets like Leontyne Price sings before the Metropolitan Opera. Sweep streets like Shakespeare wrote poetry. Sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will have to pause and say: 'Here lived a great street sweeper who swept his job well.' If you can't be a pine at the top of the hill, be a shrub in the valley. But be the best little shrub on the side of the hill. Be a bush if you can't be a tree. If you can't be a highway, just be a trail. If you can't be a sun, be a star. For it isn't by size that you win or fail. Be the best of whatever you are. - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit. - Aristotle

My new favourite word is 'awkward'. The reason we need to be in search of awkward is that awkward is the barrier between us and excellence, between where we are and the remarkable. If it were easy, everyone would have done it already, and it wouldn't be worth the effort. - Seth Godin

The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavour. - Vincent Lombardi Only undertake what you can do in an excellent fashion. There are no prizes for average performance. - Brian Tracy

I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence, I can reach for; perfection is God's business. - Michael J. Fox

Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody expects of you. Never excuse yourself. - Henry Ward Beecher

The most splendid achievement of all is the constant striving to surpass yourself and to be worthy of your own approval. - Denis Waitley

I do the very best I know how - the very best I can; and I mean to keep on doing so until the end. - Abraham Lincoln

If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters. Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude. - Colin Powell

f you want to achieve excellence, you can get there today. As of this second, quit doing lessthan- excellent work. -Thomas J. Watson

It is a wretched taste to be gratified with mediocrity when the excellent lies before us. - Isaac Disraeli

If you don't do it with excellence, don't do it at all! Because if it's not excellent, it won't be profitable or fun, and if you're not in business for fun or profit, what the hell are you doing there? - Robert Townsend

Anyone can be anACE:Attitude + Commitment = Excellence - Robert Inman
