The Power of Early Wins: Fueling Your Success

(This blog is inspired through the people who have played a very good role in my life)

Ever felt like giving up?

We surely have. It's so effortless to let one's drive perish when nothing is as one would really wish them to be. Thing is: There's a secret, really, to staying on track, to keeping motivated: early wins.

Why Early Wins Matter?

Imagine that. Now, wouldn't you much be more inclined to continue playing if you had just performed a great personal goal while playing a new sport? Or let's say you started a new hobby and managed to do something you really, really liked. Wouldn't you be all the more motivated to continue?

That's the power of early wins—it gives us the confidence and momentum necessary to continue.

On the other hand, early failures can be a big setback. Not seeing results within a short period of time places a very real chance of starting to question oneself: "I am not good enough" or "This is not for me."


The Secret to Success:

You just need to focus on getting those early wins. Here's how:

1. Small Goals: Don't take up a huge goal straight away and aim to achieve it. Break it down into smaller, manageable steps.

2. Celebrate Every Win: Well, maybe as minor as it may be, do celebrate the victories. It boosts your confidence and acts as constant motivators.

3. Learn from Failures: Everyone sometimes fails, but instead of drawing back, try to learn from the mistakes and get into the battle again.

4. Surround Yourself with Positive People: There is a big power in people who believe in you.

5. Get a Mentor: For guidance, support, and accountability.

6. Join a Community: Link up with others going through the same thing.


**Remember:** Success is not just a matter of trying hard; it is more trying smart. With the right strategies and support, you will be able to achieve your desires and live life to the fullest.

Bengaluru Blues

Image
  The horns continued to honk, a dull hum beneath the cacophony of squealing brakes and incessant "beep beep" of auto-rickshaws. Rajesh reclined against the worn seat of his auto, the sun beating hot upon the thin plastic canopy. His leg pained, a throbbing ache that refused to abate. It had been broken in a hit-and-run at the Silk Board junction, and it was healing slowly, too slowly. He observed the crowded Hosur Road in Bengaluru. Buses emitted black smoke, inching through traffic like giant, lumbering brutes. Motorcycles, with two or three riders, sped by, their horns contributing to the cacophony. Peddlers wandered between the stationary cars, hollering, "Sir, Madam, idli, dosa!" above the din. It was a chaos of frustration, a cacophony of impatience, and Rajesh, trapped there as a witness, had a bitter taste in his mouth. He was once a programmer, a coder. He had ambitions of having his own company, of creating the next hot app. He even had a notion, something...

The Cubbon Tale- Short Story

Image
  The sun let loose its warming rays over the lush decor of Cubbon Park. Tall boughs of a majestic Banyan had reached out on the ground forming an umbrella as tentacles offered a canopy sheltering families spreading out their baskets to have a picnic there. Cheers and laughter among the children playing badminton and football fill up the ambient peace. A little girl, Sonia, was playing with a shuttlecock. She let it fall beside a tree trunk and then ran after it, ponytail bouncing with every step. When she picked up the shuttlecock, she heard strange moaning sounds behind the tree. Her curiosity got the better of her, and she peeped behind the tree. What she saw wrinkled her forehead in worry. A couple, young one, embracing each other passionately, locked mouths, hands exploring each other's bodies. The girl figured they might need help, thinking the moaning was painful. She hastened back to her mother and pulled at her hand. "Mommy, Mommy! Those people need help!". Her m...

The Cubbon Tale - Ashwin Alex (Short Story) Reflection

A Tale of Generations  The short story, "Cubbon Tales - Look Closer," reads like a seemingly simple tale about a child's curiosity and a mother's dilemma to explain something that is essentially a complex social norm. Yet, beneath all this lies an intense commentary on the changing values of generations and the friction caused when old meets new.  The Clash of Cultures: The story is based on the act of public kissing, which is considered inappropriate by the older generation but harmless by the younger generation. Sonia is the protagonist who seems to be confused regarding her mother's reaction to the couple's show of affection. She portrays innocent curiosity that reflects a generation less held in shackles of tradition and more open to expressing emotions freely. The story reveals how the emphasis of the older generation on social norms is against the desire for self-expression and authenticity by the younger generation.   The Power of Observation and Ques...
