She can do it. You can Do it!

“I am going to be a master of my life” said Shelly.

Jiji listened to it.

“I am going to be doing just what I need to, to be where I have to be and I will not be hesitating one moment to tell that, since I know they should know that I am here.”

“Tell me more about it”, said Jiji.

“I am aware that I have a skill to teach the subject matter and I should not wait any longer to get equipped with what it takes one to be qualified to teach it.

I know emotions play role in deciding ones future, but that is not all.

I have a skill to relate to issues and project it to future situations and forecast the trends.

So why not be where I belong and go from there?

It is not that I am not going to be reaching my goals, despite the fact that persons very closely related to me want to and think differently.

I am what I am, and what I know that I am, and more.

I am going to be it.”

That was a rather strong point of view thought Jiji and did not hesitate a minute to tell that.

“Well, Good Luck, and I know you will reach there!”

Jiji gave her blessings!

You heard it!

A few good men... and more...(1)

The world is not a total chaos, if for some reason you thought it may be so. Jiji thought it was a rainy day so she could have hot chocolate and keep herself busy with completing the Dan Brown’s Novel her son gave three mothers day’s back… Just as she started then something came up and she could never finish the book, but today she does not seem to be finding it at  last when she thought it’s time to relax and start on her backlog readings.

“Jiji,” called her friend Devi online.

“You know I developed a website and it was through Intuit. They offered at least five domains that can be developed using that account, but almost until now, everything seems to have gone wrong”, said Devi.

“Mm. Is that so? What happened?” asked Jiji.

“Well, I developed this website, for the company that I am developing and people were even getting to know about it slowly as it increased in circulation, specially that being the Tax season” she added.

“I’m listening” said, Jiji.

Devi continued her story of her woes, “And, you know my hubby also has a business of his own and we thought, ‘since Intuit was offering such an excellent service, why not make use of the offer to let us develop few more of the websites?’ and I gave my user id and password because it is from the same user account.”

“Did you?” asked, Jiji.

“Well, actually we have to share the user id and password, or there is no way to access the account...” said, Devi.

“I see that,” Jiji said.

“So, when Kris wanted to develop his website, he used the same passwords and for some reason, instead of developing his website, it erased my website in its place” Devi said.

“So, first thing I told him was not to save it, or publish it. However, the damage was already done, it looked like he did save the site, even though he said, he did not publish...” Devi said.

“So, you are here to find out what you need to do to get back the site?” Asked Jiji.

“No, actually not. I am here to let you know, how well it was handled in such a short time” Devi said.

“This happened on Sunday and for some reason I did not call them on Monday. However, I remembered that I could ask the customer service for website developing and was able to talk to someone in just a couple of minutes. I have called their 800 number and followed some instructions and there, there was this helpful guy by name Jim.”

“Ahem..” said Jiji.

“Well, once I identified my company and verified my details, Jim asked me to close all the website windows and allocated a different account for Kris, and went back to the last save about one month back and restored the other website I developed, as I was talking to him over the phone, all in a matter of seconds, even before I finished my sentence,” Devi said.

“Wow! That’s so nice of Intuit! You did not have to wait, did not have to give the vague numbers and user ids etc., all you had to do was, identify you with their account ID!” Jiji said,

“Most important was that I did not have to be kept on hold for some two hours!” replied Devi.

“Positive things like these need to reach people! Of course, I will let others know! What do you know; Intuit has earned some good customer base just now!” Jiji concluded the conversation and started to look for The Davinci Code, wondering if she can find a clue…

Secret for Beauty: Trust in yourself!

That It Is!

If you believe, it will happen! It is true, if you think it is true! Sounds weird? If they think it is true, then it is true- theories in Sociology say that! How does Jiji respond to this? Jane , Jiji’s client, was going to start her business as a cosmetologist. Jiji took her client by hand and walked her through all the stages that she went, as a motivator, mentor and a guide. On her advice, Jane went and got certified as a cosmetologist and got her license, and started with one boutique. Jane had help from beauticians who she could employ some specialized in massage therapy, some in aroma therapy and some in giving facials! And a special lady who was expert in clearing pores! She hated it when she saw blackheads and clogged pores . She got to remove them no matter what. That was Angela; who worked every way to remove the clogs, she would massage with moisturizers, give a thorough steam and start her technique of eliminating one pore at a time, even if it took 40 minutes to 60 minutes to clear them all. Methodically she would woo the blackheads to jump out of the pores as she gave massage to the contours of the face. To those stubborn ones she would steam and then run the blackhead remover and let the blackheads do the jumping dance and wipe them away with astringent and clean up and apply a refreshing facial cream. All the baby boomer ladies would flock for her services as they felt so elated after the facials, as if it was 9th heaven as they were feeling as light as air once they were being treated with care, courtesy and lots of service towards others.

What Jane had, was not just skill set or investment or people who could come up in giving a helping hand but also love towards what she enjoyed most. She was also business savvy, trusted in the power of the Almighty and trusted that she can become what she believes. She had a keen sense of finding the best supporters, who could be her employees, investors, people who could supply their products and merchandise for display and sale and a whole network of clientele that increased by the day. How did someone from a remote place in South Asia get to be so prominent in her field? Jane believed in herself, that she would be successful in business, that she would increase her business by franchising, and networking and she had always a courteous smile on her face with her clients. She was directing with employees, friendly with some and watched some leave her company and either be franchisees or partners or started their own beauty parlors. They keep consulting her, and take her advice and this created all the more loyalty from her employees, because they know by doing a good job here, they are likely to start their own business successfully and also gain a network of support from Jane and others. The loyalty from her customers created a clientele base that was from all walks of life, professionals, college students, high school students, homemakers, job seekers, business people and employees from all fields. Jane introduced her own line of products, had more certifications in cosmetology and business as well as gemology, She not only carried beauty products, fashion clothes and accessories but also specialized semi precious jewelry.

It is not easy to realize that one is capable at a very early stage. Not all are gifted to realize that they need to be confident and trust in themselves. Sometimes circumstances cloud their perception and they become people who are subordinates to their own feelings and perceptions about themselves. Sheila trusted in herself, albeit at a very late age. She cared her family members which is the way to care for the family, a very wise thing to do, but then unless one trusts oneself, and beliefs on their own abilities, it would be difficult to realize the abilities of the family members and encourage them to grow. It may take some effort, but we do need to extract this goodness and find the gems amongst us! It does not have to be a static International gem show, but a real time one, full of life and vigour! See you next time!

Not money matters at all..but many matters, that may matter or..

Knowledge when one acquires is kind of like spurs. You find it in all odd things in life. With a dream Kekule's Benzene structure developed. The Hexagon shaped compound with the alternating double bonds linked together at the first and the sixth C positions was in fact an example of how dreams can lead to supreme reality. If it was not for that dream perhaps humanity would be still waiting for someone to come up with a bright idea of the nature perhaps a century later. Why do people dream? That is one aspect dealing with psycho social thought processes. Did dream theory help in bringing out social changes? Did anyone pursue this topic of research I really wonder? When we look at the development that went in the past fifty years or may be even twenty years the classical theories in pure sciences are now obsolete. It was the case with sound structure, Quantum theory and so is the thought about generating light in rays that travel in straight lines. Perhaps some authors may think that light travels in waves. I feel perhaps light travels in circles. The way it is generated. No body ever proved it. I do not think I am doing a grave mistake if I think it might be so. Unless of course some one applies this theory and builds a Rocket to launch on some distant planet unknown and ends up in blaming me i.e... Coming back to where I began, acquiring knowledge is similar to spurs I think. You may get it once like a dream, once like a wave or sometimes it may take you in such high-spirited circles that it may be impossible for one to come back to a level of awareness that is so base, it is so unbelievable. The greatest challenges have been possible on earth because people had tremendous amount of trust in them and believed in the inner spirit that guides them no matter how hard the conditions are. It is because people believed in themselves and believed what they did was achievable; attainable and made it possible. Once the courage of individuals is sparked all the fears and superficial pretenses are shed and a new momentum leads into a whole new spirit of awareness where the ethereal bond between man and soul is revealed. In my opinion this is what is learning, where fear leads to courage and growth spurs into enormous heights that are unbelievable and unforeseeable. A third dimension that is totally different from a person or the other takes its place where no individual can do it all alone or just by them. This becomes a dynamic process where the teams perform and lead with leaps and bounds to attain shores not reached before. This is what forms the basis for the innate desire to know and reveal the truth. The ultimate, the spiritual union that is so sublime generates out of nothingness into a concrete reality when teams participate and bring action into effect.


Some changes are so sudden in life that before you can realize they sweep you by your feet and next thing you realize may be when you may be totally different or lost or flabbergasted as if you are walking on an entirely new planet, may be some ethereal world from some 9th heaven; if its not there, may be you will create one of your own; Days may hold no meaning in limiting your activity or make you aware of the thin line between a day or night or the next; everything seems to go in a different awareness level of unbroken continuity and seems to engross in all affairs of life. It is also so surprising how life unfolds itself in its mysterious ways through the super conscious psyche. Many a time one feels as if the incidents that happen are already played and accepted or rejected by the individual's inner self. Many happenings appear as if that was just an enactment of a preordained destiny. May be the person who interacts may have passed the exact scenarios sometime before with almost similar feelings or words that you may express in reality. It may sometimes be like a déjà vu. It may not have occurred at the same time or in the immediate past or at some earlier time that one may recall. It could be a passing phase if one recalls or it could be when all the energy is concentrated and controlled only through the super conscious psyche via the medium of dreams as one may call it, as the mental activities visualize some consequences of action and inaction put together as if solving a multidimensional visual puzzle of sorts where pieces of information are processed according to the inner brain powers that control mind, body and spirit in a unison.
