5. DEDICATION
Dedicated to my God-like Gurus
Swami Vivekanand, Mahatma Gandhi,
Dale Carnegie, Osho, Shiv Khera,
Peter F. Drucker, Robin Sharma
My parents gave me birth but you provided
me a reason to live & a vision of serving
humanity with whole heart.
TERII gave me a platform to share
my thoughts directly with students.
I am lucky as I possess God-like Gurus in my life and it’s my
pleasure to dedicate my heartiest thoughts about my lights
and hopes. I pray to God that everyone gets Gurus like me.
You will learn some meaningful lessons from this simple but
deep poem on the next page.
6. My Special Thanks to the Power of ‘7’
My life is incomplete without these people.
I am the lion, I am the lion.
I have the Almighty within me,
I have everything in my favour
All conditions always support me.
All living & non-living things show that God is great.
I have come to this beautiful earth
to guide & empower people,
Like my Guru Dale Carnegie said,
‘Take real interest in people & become their favourite.’
Like my Guru Swami Vivekanand said,
‘Work like master, not like slave.’
Like my Guru M. K. Gandhi said,
‘Truth & non-voilence are my God.’
Like my Guru Peter Drucker said,
‘Business is to help common men.’
Like my Guru Shiv Khera said,
‘Living with honour is in your hand.’

‘Search outside is empty, God is in your heart.’
Like my Guru Robin Sharma said,
‘To earn more, learn more, read more.’
7. Foreword by
Prof. (Dr.) M. P GUPTA
.
India has the largest number of youths between the
ages of 18-30 years. The situation can be a boom for
ourcountry, which can be the world’s superpower, if we
are able to develop positive attitude and learning aptitude
of our youths. They easily define their vision, mission, &
goals and work with zeal to acquire knowledge and skills
to realize the goals. I become frightened when I think
of the situation where sufficient percentage of our youth
turns to be a liability instead of asset to themselves, their
parents, their state, and the nation because of lack of
constructive attitude and desired skill-set.
I would like to complement Sh. Deepak Kumar, for
his dedicated efforts towards motivating the youths
in the above direction. An engineering graduate and
post-graduate in management, he has preferred to be a
counselor in TERII to serve the masses.

8. I have read the book titled, “Apple Juice for Success”.
The book speaks volumes of the inner curiosity of years
and years of Sh. Deepak Kumar to dedicate him for
the cause. The book is the compilation of his reading,
experiences, interactions, and realizations. A simply
worded and having life examples, this book, I believe, will
serve as a handbook for everyone and help the billions
and billions of Indian Youths who shall be the national
most important asset.
I congratulate Sh. Deepak Kumar once again for such
wonderful initiative and wish him a great success in his
mission.

9. My Honest Thanks to TERII
Water is meaningless for those who are not thirsty.
Like I was doing my work of spreading positivity with
empowerment of people and inspiring them for a life of
vision and mission, without a proper platform for last five
years.
Few months back, someone special entered and
changed everything in my life by showing his full faith
in my vision. He provided me with a good platform from
where I am spreading my message to society with full
heart. Now I am doing what I love to do, i.e. inspiring
people for living a life of meaning and success. Today for
my great success at this level, I am thankful to Prof. (Dr.)
M .P Gupta, a self made personality who discovered me
by going through my philosophy in my book, “APPLE
JUICE FOR SUCCESS”. He is like God to me because as
God unconditionally loves you and nurture you, Gupta ji
has done the same in my life. I honesty thank and salute
him for having such a deep and meaningful VISION and
MISSION for TERII.
I am so happy by becoming the part of his team.
Everyone at TERII helped me in writing this great book.
My sincere gratitude and thanks from the bottom
of my heart to Prof. (Dr.) M. P Gupta ji and to all the
.
teachers and management team of TERII.

Publisher
My heartiest thank to Mr.Kaushal Goyal, as he is the
man who has shown full faith in me.
It’s never easy to get published when you are new in
the market and very few people dare to work with you.
In this scene,Mr.Goyal came in picture and the way he
heard my script and me, just wordless.
He is very polite and noble in nature. And talking to
him is just like meditation for me.
Entire team at pigeon books is so supportive and kind
to every author. I am so happy by becoming the part of
this team.
I salute and wish the entire team a prosperous future
ahead.
Thanks Mr. Kaushal for showing me a light in my path,
God blesses you.

17. Introduction
About the Book
Congratulations for picking up this book. You have
bought this book; simply shows that you are committed
to take positive steps for personal growth in your life.
This is your own book & I am at your service with a
smile on my face and faith in my heart.
I welcome you to the wonderful tour of your selfevolution. The title looks strange, but it’s true. If you
look around your surroundings you will see that only few
people are extremely rich & happy, while most struggle
throughout their life to make both ends meet.
In this book, I have honestly expressed all the wisdom
to make you happy & rich for the rest of your life.
I am an Engineer & did my MBA with best grades.
It is in my heart to serve people, to help them lead a
meaningful life. For the last 5 years, I am giving practical
classes on personal effectiveness & success principles.
I have read hundreds of books on personal &
business mastery. It was my keen interest to know why
only few people get to the top and others just pass their
days and wait for some miracle. Now, I have found the
reasons…..
Hope you will appreciate my sincere efforts.
17
18. What kind of a book is this?
I strongly believe that you cannot hide your original face
behind the curtains for long. And believe me:
A happy man only talks about happiness.
A wise man only talks about wisdom.
This book is written to make you realize that you are
unique & the original art-work of God. Whether you
know this or not but it is true,
“God loves you and in his family you
are a unique member.”
I smile all the time and I am passionate to love every
human being on this earth. My philosophy of life is, “Every
human being on this earth belongs to God; belongs to
me.”
We all have two options in our lives—either to love
people or to hate them. Let me tell you my friends that
‘Love is the base of everything.’ When we live our life
in love, that’s what truly counts as a significant part of
our life. ‘Because we all belong to the same source; The
Almighty.’
Some people in our life are very special. For them, we
do anything because they value and understand us in
every situation.
‘Apple Juice for Success’ is not a time-pass book but to
create a fire in your belly; to give you a purpose in your
life, to make you more interesting & meaningful.
Please read this book again & again and discover your
18
19. true inner potential. Every time you read this book, it will
give you a new meaning.
Why I wrote this book?
My answer is to give you what is your birthright i.e.
Success & Happiness. I believe, “we are more powerful
than we believe we are.”
This book enfolds the wisdom of the ages. It contains
the powerful & long-lasting lessons on self-help, and
success.
What this book will do for you?
In this book, you will find mention of many successful
people—read about them and go through their teachings.
I have included 100+ life changing personalities—
without them it was not possible for me to become a truly
happy and successful person.
I am grateful to all of them. Without these people
and their books, it is really hard to achieve success &
happiness.
This book carries the answer to ‘why only 5% people
on earth are rich & happy?’ I call these 5% people
‘extraordinary’ because they have something different in
them which makes them special.
After you read this book, you will come to know about
their habits & thoughts. I have also included a selfdiscovery workbook for you to become clearer about your
personality. No doubt, it’s a properly designed manual for
acquiring success & happiness.
19
20. How to read this book?
I don’t think after reading the introduction and contents
of the book you want to know the way of reading this
book.
It is like your favorite dish is in front of you and someone
is saying—“Wait, let me give you the instructions about
how to eat it.”
I am still a student of reading self-help books and I am
very excited to make you happy from heart, so please note
some golden points before you start. Take a highlighter
or a pencil while reading; underline/highlight whatever
material you feel is truly working for you. When you
underline first line, name it L1, means lesson no. 1 from
the book. With this you will have a proper idea of the
learned lessons. Write them in your personal diary or
notebook as well.
‘Apple Juice for Success’ is a practical book on success &
happiness. You can apply these lifelong lessons of wisdom
and success from the very first day. So without wasting
a single minute, I welcome you and wish you a happy &
meaningful journey of your evolution.

Success is Our Birth Right
I welcome you all to this remarkable journey of selffinding with some deep quotations,
“Deep within man dwell those slumbering powers; powers
that would astonish him, that he never dreamed of
possessing; forces that would revolutionize his life
if aroused and put into action.”
—Orison Swett Marden
“Men are born to succeed, not to fail.”
—Henry David Thoreau
“We can doubt ourselves but we can’t doubt Him;
who made us, who lies inside us.”
—Deepak Kumar
I am a very simple man with a vision of serving humanity
with whole heart & passion. I very enthusiastically
emphasize that ‘Success is our birth right.’ The only
condition required to become successful is that we should
36. 36
Deepak Kumar
be human being first. You can achieve success as you are
a human being with the best artwork of God inside you.
I am sure that after going through this book you will
discover many hidden secrets of life.
Tell me one thing—‘Why only very few people become
successful and others not?’ This simply shows that there
is something that these few people follow which others
don’t. This is not merely a co-incidence; it is very much
straight and as per the natural laws of wisdom.
“No man was ever wise by chance.”
—Seneca
“Age is compulsory; wisdom is optional”
—Anon
One more interesting thing that comes out from this
is that there is some specific kind of education and by
getting that others can also grow.
“By nature, men are alike;
by practice, they get to be wide apart.”
—Confucius
So I will do my best to make you familiar with this real
theory of success & happiness. One more thing, wealth
and prosperity can only be acquired in real life when you
already have them in your inner life & thoughts.
The real power that we have with us is our thinking
37. Apple Juice for Success
37
ability. How does our thinking work in life, we will see it
by some priceless quotations of great success achievers.
“We become what we think about all day long.”
—Earl Nightingale
“All we are is what we thought about.”
—Buddha
“A man’s life is what his thoughts make of it.”
—Marcus Aurelius
“You are the master of your own destiny.”
—James Allen
“Since everything is a reflection of our minds,
everything can be changed by our minds.”
—Buddha
“I am more than I appear to be, all the worlds strength and
power resides inside me.”
—Robin Sharma
“The greatest question that you must ask yourself daily,
‘Where my maximum time & energy is going?’”
—Deepak Kumar
38. 38
Deepak Kumar
“What we think about our self,
define & shape our reality.”
—Buddha
“Men are not prisoners of fate
but prisoners of their own minds.”
—Franklin Roosevelt
Thoughts Become Things
This is very basic truth in life. Many people had said
this before me also. But I will add one more thing—
‘How you start thinking? From where your thoughts are
coming? And how they control everything in your life?’
Tell me one thing–Whatever you know today, is it all
learned, heard or seen in your life?
I know one thing, “Only strength can tell about
strength.”
What you know today is the result of what kind of
education system you have followed. If you think you are
not happy or not rich today even after following the same
education system, I must say that your education system
was wrong and you have to change that.
From education system I mean; every person, every
source of information, every bit of knowledge you are
getting since your birth. These are responsible somehow
in the way you live today.
Believe me, you already have everything to reach to

the top, but you just forgot your hidden potential. This
world teaches you two major things—the fear of failure
and the fear of criticism.
The fear of failure and the fear of criticism are learned
so that they can be forgotten. Look at children — the
fear of failure & the fear of criticism is almost zero in
them. Because they are so clear in their minds, but as
they grow up their family & surroundings do the job.
I am presenting the golden words by the Scottish
philosopher, David Hume –“Every child in this world
came with an empty mind.”
Everything in this world can be learned. There is
nothing that you can’t learn. Don’t think you are weak
or inferior or faulty. I have never believed this. You only
need the right education system.
“Our problems are manmade, therefore they may be solved
by a man; no problem of human destiny
is beyond human beings.”
—John F. Kennedy
Remember that maximum information goes in your
mind through your eyes, so be very much clear about the
pictures or images that you see in routine. If these pictures
are positive and inspiring they will create positive and
inspiring thoughts in your mind.
One more thing, I have listed the names of my
gurus who have changed my life. I invite you to please
welcome them in your life and see the great results they
40. 40

will produce. They all are experts in providing real life
education and you will be no longer the same anymore.
No lock in this world is without a key.
“Only the educated are free.”
—Epictetus
My friends, change your education system and that
will change your thought patterns and then finally you
can change your life for better. From education system
I mean everything that gives food to your brain. The
education system we all follow is the disease which is
spoiling our lives. A permanent disease can’t be cured by
temporary treatment.

more than instruction.”

10. Who is Ratan Tata?

thing in common. They knew what they can do when
they followed their heart instead of listening to the voices
of society. They had a great education system and they all
followed what their hearts said and truly believed their
inner-self. They are were committed to lifelong learning
process.

The Real Story of My Life
I did my schooling up to 5th standard from a very
small school, where I was treated as an ordinary child. I
was from a poor and uneducated background. My father
was a labourer and my mother a house-wife. But like
every child I had a great potential and somehow after 5th
standard I took admission in a reputed school of my area,
where education standards were quite high. Again, no
one was interested in knowing me and in knowing where
things were going wrong in my case. That resulted in my
regular bunking of school sometimes even for a week or
more.
I was thrown out of the school with great humiliation.
That day I understood about the reality of this world.
What I concluded from that is—Everyone around you is
interested only in the results and not about your feelings
& wishes.
From then on I took the responsibility of my life in my
own hands at the early age of 12 in 1997.
I discovered from my own experience was that
education you need to become a real hero in real life is
not taught at school.
List of real super heroes in every fields is quite long
who believe with my point that—your education system
must be proper & real then only you can grow.
And one more thing that I have learned,
If you are confident about that, what you are doing
with full heart, then the whole world is ready to follow
you.

“If you start listening to your heart,
people will start listening to you.”

“If you look to others for fulfillment,
you will never be truly fulfilled.”
—Lao Tzu
The only way to be happy is to follow our own heart.
I usually share this fact many times in my class, that I am
happy because I follow my heart.
My Complete Transformation
The biggest breakthrough was when I came across my
great gurus & persons who have changed my life. I was
21 years old at that time. That’s the reason why I have
dedicated my first book to my God-like gurus. I have
listed the names of some persons and books—without
them I am nothing. I know how much self-confidence
& motivation with the true knowledge of success I have
gained from all these great people & their books.
However, I was always opposite to the common belief
system of people. But at the age of 12, it was very hard
for me to face the crowd because when they come to you
and if you are not prepared, they hit you very badly. I had
personally experienced this.
But the day I read the books by Robin Sharma, Shiv
Khera, Stephan Covey, Osho and Brian Tracy, I was no
46. 46

more confused about my future & success.
My gurus helped me in my life transformation. They
gave me a real & practical knowledge of life.

52. In A Nutshell
This is very clear that you are the one who is totally
capable in doing everything if you follow the proper
education system. Scottish philosopher David Hume said
it so well-‘We all come in this world with empty brain.’
What ever & wherever we are today, that is just
because of our education system. From education system,
I mean the knowledge we have today about our capacity
and about things that we can do in the future.
Now question arises, if you feel you can do much
better in future, then definitely you need to change your
education system—If you change your education system,
you will definitely change everything in your life.
The list of ‘my-life-changing-people’ that I have given
in this book, I am sure about the positive results they will
bring in your life. Millions of people are witness of their
wisdom.
So from today itself, decide clearly about the people
and the principles that you are going to follow. It is your
belief that performs every essential activity in your life.
“Beliefs have the power to create
and the power to destroy.”
—Anthony Robbins
53. Apple Juice for Success

Success & happiness is your birth right, only when you
follow certain principles. These principles are very simple
and equally applicable to everyone with no exception.
Read Brian Tracy, Robin Sharma, Stephan R. Covey,
Wayne Dyer and Deepak Chopra for learning the basic
laws of life. What I have learnt in my life is from these
great teachers. They have made my mind so open &
curious about the unknown.
I am sure after reading these great visionaries; you will
never be the same in your approach towards life.
My friends, success & happiness both are open for all
& are our birthrights. But it is due to our own ignorance
that we always have our face just turned away from
happiness.
My honest suggestion to you is to imagine that
after following proper education system and your own
heart, you can contribute to the world very nicely and
effectively.
It is our own duty to know our own truths of life.
56. “By nature, men are alike
by practice they get to be wide apart.”
—Confucius
“A small body of determined spirits fired
by an unquenchable faith in their mission
can alter the course of history.”

ABC of Successful
Life Management
After reading the first chapter of this book ‘Success
is Our Birth Right’ you must have got clear about my
mindset on humanity & on your potential.
I believe by adopting a true & real education system
we can all do Magic. So to make you successful & happy,
my first principle is just waiting for you. I call it ‘ABC of
Successful Life Management.’
It’s a 3 stage process. This is my guarantee that after
following this process you can attain any height. Laws of
Success are very simple and universally applicable just
like the Laws of Gravitation.
Please understand this formula very clearly because it
is meaningful and will create real magic in your life. I also
call this formula ‘An Action Plan’ for becoming a man of
values.
This Action Plan is continuously given on
3 pages with the reason of sending this directly to your
heart.
59. Apple Juice for Success
59
This is my effort of creating a deep sense of vision &
mission in your life. As soon as you get a sense of purpose
in your life, you will feel happy & truly meaningful. I
believe—people who don’t have any direction in life are
the trouble creator for the rest of the world.
Imagine, if every person is clear about his/her vision &
mission i.e. if every one is clear about what they want to
do and in what direction they want to go in life, then the
whole issue will get resolved.
And people without any vision & mission in their life
become slaves of the conditions.
My sincere advice to you is that you write this formula
on paper & after filling your vision, mission, values and
goals on it, paste it on your wall read it many times in
your routine and feel the difference.
Congratulations, you are going to have the great
formula.

Let me tell you why I have given this magical concept
of successful life management continuously three times
in a row. The answer is to make it very clear in your mind
for long remembrance.
Dear readers, it is very interesting experience for me
to introduce you to my magical formula of successful life
management. I call it 3 stage process.
And believe me every successful company or person is
driven by this great philosophy, whether they know it or
not,
Now it’s your turn to become familiar with this real
theory of life management.
Magical Step 1
Vision Principle
Vision, Mission, Values & Goals
Your vision, mission, values and goals must be crystal
clear in your mind to enjoy the benefits of God, as He
has provided us everything to become rich financially
& personally. At some point we make mistakes due to
which we don’t get results and we become fatalistic in
many cases.
According to an old saying, ‘Happiness is by choice not
by chance.’ It clearly shows that you have to take some
concrete steps to make your life successful and happy.
Let me introduce you to all the terms that I am using
in my magical formula of life management,
Vision: A very important and useful term for living a
64. 64
Deepak Kumar
happy & prosperous life and also for attaining success.
Vision is all about where exactly you want to reach
in life. Like, you have a vision that you want to be in
business or in writing or in social work or in educating
people or some other field.
Mission: Again very meaningful and effective term
for attaining success.
Mission shows you the path by which you will be able
to achieve your vision. Likewise, say your vision is to
serve people to live in a better living conditions. So, your
mission will be to give them good medical facilities, or
provide them shelter or home loans if you are in banking
field etc.
Again, if you want to go to London from New
Delhi and you take it as your vision. Then the mode of
transportation you should pick to reach there would be
your mission. Again, if your vision is to make this world
a better place to live (I think it must be in every one’s
personal vision statement), then your mission could be—
to contribute through research & development in your
favorite area, through your marketing skills, real estate
and the list is endless.
Vision is a very basic reason to live. People die without
doing anything remarkable because they don’t have any
vision in their lives.
“Where there is no vision, people perish.”
—Proverb
65. Apple Juice for Success
65
“It is a terrible thing to see and have no vision.”
—Helen Keller
A simple example of vision and mission. Two men
start their journey for some work together. After some
problems one decides to give up concludes and that he
will not grow in this field and second one continues to
work. Guess why? The answer is very simple. The first one
was not confident enough and didn’t have any vision and
also lacks self-confidence. The second one is determined
and has the confidence to achieve the vision and mission
to complete it.
‘Vision gives you the strength and reason to work
continually even when most of the people around you
decide to give up.’
Read the history of companies that are doing well.
They all were created with the great vision and mission.
Don’t have the perception that they are companies
and you are just a single and simple person. Dear friends,
companies are group of great persons working together.
Without these people a company is nothing and of no
use.
I hope now you have got a clear idea about having
a vision & mission statement in life to make your life a
masterpiece.
Values: Now, coming on to the values of life. Your
value system includes a lot many things like integrity,
honesty, creativity and team spirit and lifelong learning
attitude, clear sense of direction, leadership quality,
66. 66
Deepak Kumar
cooperation, responsibility and openness for all new ideas
etc.
Your value system may also includes honest learning
approach. So adopt your values today that you want to
follow lifelong and feel the magic in your life.
Goals: Now, coming on to the goals. I call them action
plans to achieve your vision & mission through your
chosen value system. Your goals broadly include three
categories personal, professional, and social. Your goals
can be short term, mid-term, lifelong duration goals.
Likewise, if your vision, goal is to raise the name
of your country, your mission could be to achieve this
through games like cricket.
Goals in personal life are to maintain your physical
health, to acquire family support, to create good relations
etc. Goals in professional life may include regular practice
of six hours alone then two hours with coach etc.
So goals are what we call them action plan to transform
our intangible vision into tangible results.
Points of Importance
So for further clarity of vision, mission, values and
goals, I suggest you to please go through the websites of
the best companies of the world and know about them in
practical terms.
Decide your vision & mission by taking your time
because it’s something that directs your lifelong growth.
What my experience says about training people for
67. Apple Juice for Success
67
personal & professional success shows is that most of
the people don’t have vision & mission and spend their
valuable years of life in just struggling.
Now, we have completed the Step 1 of ABC of
Successful Life Management.
Magical Step 2
Mentorship Principle
Get a mentor
“Whoever enters the way without a guide
will take 100 years to travel a two day journey.”
—Poet Rumi
“To know the road ahead, ask those coming back.”
—Chinese Proverb
Imagine a team of great players with an unprofessional
coach. Imagine a team of young inventors with an
unprofessional trainer. Imagine a group of students
with an unprofessional teacher, all these results in poor
performance, defeats & thus failure.
Most of the people have the habit of taking advice
from all, they know. It is the guide or mentor or coach
who has a deep & practical knowledge of the specialized
field, I advice to approach them only.
The reason why education system fails most of the
times is that the teachers are not updated. They are not
68. 68
Deepak Kumar
practical. They are teaching things which are 10 year old
rather than the latest updates.
So, without a mentor it is very tough for you to reach
where you want to. This is the reason why rich become
more rich & poor become more poor.
Another great fact is that children of poor people
mostly retire poor and children of rich people finish their
game in richness because both of them have different
kind of mentorship.
One of the great books that changed my life in financial
paradigm is ‘Rich Dad, Poor Dad.’ I salute Robert Kiyosaki,
who has given us some valuable principles about money.
Points of Importance
Choose a mentor who has already done things in his
life that you want to do.
Don’t take advice from anybody. Tell me one thing, if
you go to take advice regarding your money from your
doctor instead of your chartered accountant or you seek
suggestions about your health from your banker, the
results would be very shocking.
Magical Step 3
Learn & Teach Principle
Become a Leader and Create More Leaders
The 3rd step of ABC of Successful Life Management
is first learning & then teaching the philosophy.
69. Apple Juice for Success
69
Once you have cleared your vision, mission, values
and goals and you have got a right mentor then just start
learning every detail of your work and become master in
that area.
“Knowledge is a process of piling up facts,
wisdom lies in their simplification.”
—Martin H. Fisher
After achieving mastery, you can start creating leaders
in your work. Believe me the best companies are better
from the other companies just because they create leaders
much faster.
“Leaders don’t create followers,
they create more leaders.”
—Tom Peters
You learn more when you teach more. Also, you
become what you teach.
So I request you to follow this ‘Magical Formula of
Successful Life Management’ and get what you want to
get in your life.

5-Step Magical Formula
Before doing any work or meeting any person, please
follow these five profound steps:
Step-1
I have to learn something meaningful
from this person.
Step-2
This person is one of the best
human being in the world.
Step-3
This person is giving me a positive
message and adding meaning to my life.

human being is more profound and
I feel more confident & special.
Step-5
Every human being is important in the world,
as everyone is the special art work of God
These five magical steps will change and transform
you completely.
Basis of this formula is the ‘Wisdom of Ralph Waldo
Emerson’. He says, so honestly, “Every man on this earth
is superior to me in some sense and I honestly learn that
thing.”
Every man in your life is giving you a message; it’s up
to you, how you interpret it.

Master Key for Youngsters
A country can grow only when the youth will do their
best in all fields and this is possible only in one condition
i.e. when they are free to choose work on the basis of
their interests.
Read the real life examples of all people who left their
works, they were doing just under the force of society
and started doing what their heart said and achieved
remarkable results.
Imagine how better you contribute to the nation’s
growth if you are in a profession of your own choice.
In India, we have a lot many youngsters and if we are
able to guide them in the fields of their interest then India
will be a super power & for sure, the developed country
of the world.
MY HUMBLE MESSAGE FOR THE YOUTH
“Do what you love to do.”
“Do what you love to do.”
“Do what your heart says.”
“Do what your heart says.”
74. 74
Deepak Kumar
“It’s your life man.”
“It’s your life man.”
“Do what you love to do.”
“Do what you love to do.”
‘Do what you love to do.”
“Do what you love to do.”
“Your profession must be your passion.”
“Your profession must be your passion.”
“Your passion must be your profession.”
“Your passion must be your profession.”
According to one research, ‘If you want to become
expert in any field, you have to devote 10,000 hours of
practice. Tell me how you can devote this much time
when you are not interested in what you are doing, and
that’s what the whole issue is about.
Your profession must be your passion.
“Choose your passion not your pension.”
—Denis Waitley
“The only way to be happy is to follow your heart.”
—Deepak Kumar
“A man can succeed at almost anything for
which he has unlimited enthusiasm.”
—Charles Schwab
75. Apple Juice for Success

If you are looking at your watch, again and again, at
your workplace that means you are not in the field you
love to be and your growth is simply not possible in that
field.
A Message for Parents
Your kids are not your property. They are like us and
they must be equally free to choose what they want to
do in life. If you don’t allow your children to follow their
heart, our country will not be able to have scientists,
actors, inventors, new technocrats any more.
This is a bitter truth that humanity is facing.
The key is in your hands. Allow your children to
enjoy and learn new fields & knowledge of their interest
because then only they will rise in life.
“Nothing grows well without Space & Air.”
—Patricia Monogham
76. My Polite Request
to the Youth
Dear friends,
You are the future of this country.
And if you are not listening to your heart,
my dear brothers and sisters,
you are doing a big harm to our nation.
And the biggest harm to your own life.
All the great achievers did their best only
because they heard their inner voice.
You can grow only when you do
what you are passionate about.
Please follow your heart,
Follow your passion.
77. VI
Peace Mantra for Everyone
Dear readers,
We, all human beings, are connected in deeper
meanings because we all originated from the same source.
This single thought has transformed my life and given me
a pure mindset towards people.
One of my life changing quotations is from ‘Wisdom
of the Great Buddha.’
“In the sky there is no distinction of east & west,
people create distinctions out of their own mind
and then believe them to be true.”
—Gautama Buddha
Believe me your money & status is nothing to do with
your peace of mind. It’s only your own mindset towards
people due to that we feel a different experience.
I am using this unique & peaceful thought every day
in my life. The biggest advantage is my relation with
people has now got improved so much. Our relations
with people are the main parameter for our success in
life.
78. 78
Deepak Kumar
Give some silent sitting to this thought—
“Every human being belongs to God,
belongs to all of us.”
—Deepak Kumar
I am confident that this thought alone if felt deeply
will transform your philosophy of life.

Greatest Secret
of all Times
After reading, almost, hundreds of books on self-help,
success and biographies of great personalities of the world,
I have reached this conclusion. As a success coach, I feel
it’s my honest duty to share this Secret with you all.
The Secret is:
“What you think about yourself is your reality.”
I am always curious to know that why only few people
have great lifestyle while most others live in the world of
scarcity & limits.
This inspired me to read almost every success story
and what I found is:
“Our thoughts make our world.”
I agree with all great philosophers & successful people
of the world. Please think about it very deeply that how
it is possible for one man to do everything and it is like
impossible to do the same for others.

Deepak Kumar
I am telling you two things with the same meaning
that is very important to start your journey to success &
happiness.
1. What you think in your mind about yourself is
your reality.
2. We live in our own world.
I request you to please give this thought an honest
attention and you will get the meaningful results.
My Humble Advice
Read this magical book at least once in this life.
“The Secret” by Rhonda Byrne
Please also read the following books.
“As a Man Thinketh”, “The Way of Peace” and other
books by James Allen
“The Science of Getting Rich”, “The Science of Being
Great” by Wallace D. Wattles.

Don’t Copy,
Be Original
I would like to share a wonderful thought with you all
that, ‘Don’t copy others, have an original identity.’
However, it’s very tough initially for someone to
maintain the originality because in our world new things
are first opposed and then accepted. This reminds me of
one of the great quotation of my guru M. K. Gandhi—
“They first ignore you, then they laugh at you,
then they fight you and then you win.”
Believe me, finally the world follows only the originals.
Also, if you copy somebody, you kill your original talent
and you always remain the second one.
So, it’s my humble advice to you—Be original, if you
want to remain in the hearts of people for a long time.
However it’s a bitter truth that the world tries to kill
your originality but if you maintain it till the end then
you will become the king or other people’s role model.

Deepak Kumar
A great thought on this,
“Truly enlightened people never seek to be like others.
Rather, they seek to be superior to their former selves. Don’t
race against others. Race against youself.”
—Robin Sharma
Like Walt Disney said it so well—‘All our dreams can
come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.’
Your originality will make you the king, if you have the
courage to pursue it.
It’s my Rain of Positivity Secret no. 6
‘Don’t copy, be original.’

Special Gift for You
The final Secret of Rain of Positivity is waiting for you.
The secret is—
“One thing that never gets outdated,
is the art of learning new arts.”
This is a quotation by my guru Peter F. Drucker
This single line has changed my paradigm about future
and inspired me so deeply to call Peter F. Drucker my
guru. In my life, I have met so many people who polished
me and are still polishing, but seven people just killed my
negative thoughts, and my ego.
The true meaning of EGO is that it Eliminates Growing
Opportunities in your life and negativity is something
that unnecessarily puts you under pressure & pain.
God has entered my life using the medium of these
gurus. One strange thing is that I have never met any of
my Gurus personally and five of them I will never be able
to meet as only two are still alive.
84. 84
Deepak Kumar
But, I will respect all of them with true heart till I am
alive.
Readers, the golden thread of wisdom is:
“One thing that never gets outdated,
is the art of learning new arts.”
Read it, again and again, and get the meaning as it is
very deep.
Hope you are enjoying the journey of your thoughtshifting (transforming your life) in a unique way.
Please read “The Frontiers of Management” and other
books by my Guru Peter F. Drucker.

resolution to succeed is more important
than any other thing.”

10 Powerful Lessons
for Personal Growth
Lesson 1
You are the only owner of your life. So, sit silently
and write your own life story as per your choices.
Write the things that you want in your life.
This is a magical step.
By writing ‘Your Life Story’ and the things you want in
your life on paper, unknowingly you will apply the law of
attraction in your life and that is truly magical.
Please close your eyes & visualize the ideal life-style
you want to live. Remember, every designer first makes a
clear picture of his design in his mind and then he makes
the design in real world. Read about Michelangelo. How
he in Italia made the statue of David, other sculptures and
paintings. Believe me, he could not have made anything
in actual better if he had not visualized anything of it in
his mind before.
As per one of my success coach Brian Tracy,
‘Success is predictable.’
It is totally, the truth.
88. 88
Deepak Kumar
Lesson 2
Make a photo album/collection of pictures of your
role models. Your sub-conscoius mind comes in
top gear with photos, when you see them with
your heartiest feelings.
All the best books in the world on mind say that our
mind gets proper motivation & better direction with
pictures. That’s why cinema is one of the primary source
of culture-making & learning things.
As my guru Robin Sharma wrote in his great book
‘Mega Living’ that 83% of our all sensory information
comes through our eyes.
So please make it clear, that what kind of photos
or pictures you show to your eyes that will effect you
deeply.
Make a collection of pictures of all the people with
whom you are much influenced. And see the magic.
Like we all know, “we become what we see: what we
observe”.
So, by having a positive-people-photo-collection our
subconcious mind will hold this message for a life time.
I strongly believe that everyone in this world wants to
become a meaningful personality.

Lesson 3
Make a collection of wisdom quotes. Remember
what you want to do in your life, many people
before you have already done the same.
So it’s always better to have guidelines.
It is very important step in real learning. Quotations
give us pure wisdom of the ages & tell us the views of
great men who lived before us.
‘A great library contains the diary of human race.’
—George Mercer
Buy a diary today & start writing Quotations on
subjects that you like the most. There are quotations
on everything. ‘Success is something that comes to you
when you are prepared.’ So follow this simple formula.
And remember,
“There is a key to every lock.”
So, start from today this noble act of collecting great
thoughts on success, happiness, love, life, wisdom,
relationship, friendship, wealth and get the pure
knowledge and easily available to you. Go to Google or
any other Search Engine and type the name of the author
or quotation and you will get the names of the relevant
books
Ofcourse, you deserve a meaningful life.

Lesson 4
Apply vision board that carries your personal
vision, mission, value and goal statements on
the walls of your office or study room where you
spend most of your time.
Focus, focus, focus…, focus is the key to all success.
Vision board helps you to keep you directed towards
things that are quite important in your life & ensures that
your every step is taking you closer to your destination.
The vision board if properly applied alone can change
your world.
All the best companies of the world are not God
managed; they are managed by God created people with
proper vision & mission for future.
Whenever you feel difficulty in work, spend your time
before your vision board and visualize your dreams then
you will be no more in trouble.
Habit of vision board is a great step that you must take
to change your thought patterns because it plays a vital
part in your education system.
The great Shiv Kera said in his book ‘You Can Win’—
vision & values are very important to follow for a successful
life. So, by having a vision-board and by writing/pasting
things you love or want to do in near future, you will be
highly focussed. Focus in the key....

Lesson 5
Always carry a Personal Vision Card
(5 inches x 3 inches) in your Wallet.
Carry a personal vision statement in your wallet on a
5 inches x 3 inches Personal Vision Card
Let me give you some practical examples. Like if you
are a teacher then put in your vision card, a statement
like this—
What new & meaningful I can teach to my
students today?
or
Why students should respect me?
If you are a salesman then statement like this can be
useful for you—
Why the customers should buy my products?
If you are a real estate developer then your vision card
may contains words like:
How I can provide the best homes to my clients at
reasonable prices and with best facilities?
By just writing your vision card and carrying it in your
pocket will take you to the top gear in your speed of
growth.
You carry your assets with you and your personal
vision statement is your most valuable asset, so my kind
advice to you is, please keep your P
.V.S. (Personal Vision
Statement) with you all the time, read it whenever you
can & feel the magic in your life.

Lesson 6
Read & update yourself, regularly,
with your interests.
‘The man who views the world at 50 the same way
as he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life.’
—Mohammad Ali
“A child educated at school only, is an uneducated child.”
—George Santayana
‘The man who graduate today and stop learning tomorrow is
uneducated the day after.’
—Newton Diehl Baker
“To earn more, learn more & read more”
—Robin Sharma
I think my point is clear to you.
Keep on increasing your knowledge in your work and
remember that,
‘Knowledge is wealth.’
The key point is:
“For growth in new times, new tools are required.”

Lesson 7
Spend some time alone in the lap of nature.
My sincere advice to you is please take some time out
of your busy schedule and live with mother nature. When
you are with your heart in the presence of nature, that’s
what makes you wise.
When you sit alone with nature, with no thoughts
in your mind that is pure meditation. What I mean by
meditation is mindlessness or thoughtlessness.
We are busy in doing something or the other all the
time. We need some pure and fresh air where we can
charge our mind, body and soul.
Nature is matchless as far as charging your mind, body
and soul is concerned. This activity will charge you with
freshness.
Go to a park-sit on a bench or on the grass and just
keep watching the trees, birds, and the sky for half an
hour, doing nothing. This practice will recharge you for
the whole day.
Remember, whether you are rich or poor, the nature
unconditionally, loves you always.
Natural source of happiness & richness always work
and Nature is just that one...
Make a healthy friendship with nature for a life time.

Deepak Kumar
Lesson 8
Sit before a mirror and speak about
your vision of life.
Sitting before a mirror is a powerful way to gain great
concentration level in your works. When you sit before a
mirror and look into your own eyes and speak about your
vision, then a miracle will happen. Feel it & take all the
benefits from it that is there for you.
Before showing your vision to the world with
confidence, it is necessary for you to send your vision in
your blood stream in private. Mirror is your best friend.
Practice and feel the difference.
Speaking about your vision in front of the mirror
provides you not only with a special & deep meaning but
also self-motivation.
Mirror never tells a lie. It is the most honest friend that
we can have in all conditions. As it talks to us without
manipulation and reveals the true picture of us always.
Give some time to this matchless friend also and improve
your concentration and body-language by this.

Lesson 9
Speak less, listen more, and grow double.
When we speak we don’t learn anything new but when
we listen, we learn a lot of new things.
Believe me, one of the most desirable quality of all the
leaders is their ability to listen patiently.
“Knowledge speaks, wisdom listens.”
—Jimi Hendrix
“Who speaks sows, who listens reaps.”
—Argentine Proverb
“Big egos have little ears.”
—Dr. Robert Schuller
“If speaking is silver then listening is gold.”
—Turkish Proverb

because every head is a world.”
—Cuban Proverb
“The tongue is like a sharp knife,
kills without drawing any blood.”

Lesson 10
Paste this quotation on the wall in front of your
bed, so that when you wake up in the morning
you are able to read it regularly.
“Today is the best day of my life and
I am going to have a wonderful experience today.
Thank you God for giving me this
beautiful & meaningful life.”
Also put it on your office wall opposite to where you
sit, so that you can see it.
The starting one hour of every morning is the
direction-giver for the whole day. So, when you wake
up and charge your mind with powerful thoughts then
your day becomes very special. Believe me you deserve a
special & meaningful life.
And, when you read/think this line, “I am going to
have a wonderful experience today” for sure you will
have a wonderful day. Your attitude will automatically
become curious, positive & supportive.
These lines are very powerful.
“Today is the best day of my life and
I am going to have a wonderful experience today.
Thank you God for giving me this
beautiful & meaningful life.”
Write it and frame it in your office/room and feel the
amazing results...

Deepak Kumar
How is it possible that one man is earning money like
a bullet fired from a gun and second is earning money
like it is the most difficult work in the world. However
the principles for both of them are the same. Meaning
is very much clear that rich people are master in these
principles and they are making more money everyday
and becoming more & more rich. On the other side those
who are totally unaware of these laws think that it’s just a
matter of luck.
Remember What the Wisest People Said
“If you can count your money,
you don’t have a billion dollars.”
—J. Paul Getty
“You can avoid reality but you can’t avoid
the consequences of avoiding realities.”
—Ayn Rand
“Nature does nothing uselessly.”
—Aristotle
“Destiny is not a matter of chance but of choice.”
—William Jennings Bryan
“No man was ever wise by chance.”

I advise you to please understand the whole Philosophy
of Wealth. I suggest you to read the best teachers—
Napoleon Hill, Brian Tracy, Robert Kiyosaki, Wallace D.
Wattles and T. Harv Eker.
I want to make this point very clear that Happiness
and Wealth is not something that you get by chance, it is
purely by choice.
As per the great Brain Tracy, ‘Success is predictable’
and I agree with his point of view. Once you master any
art then it looks very easy for you to do it. Same is with
the art of making money. You need to learn it properly;
you need to understand the laws of making money and
then you can make unlimited amount of money.
There are no limits to your achievement. You know
that people who are earning billions of dollars are also
human beings just like us. They also have 24 hours in
a day as we all have. They have 2 hands, 2 legs, 2 ears
& 2 eyes as we all have. The only difference lies in their
habits.
However, this book is not only on financial wisdom. It
is just a starting point in your financial mastery because
it will make a paradigm shift in your routine thinking. If
you think even for a second that ‘Earning money is not
just luck, it is an art,’ then I think that my job is done.
Dear readers, nothing in this world is by chance. Every
little thing requires a cause to move. Moreover for money
making, you just have to adopt the right education system
in the field of making money. Making money is something
which is out of our routine discussion and we talk very
102. 102
Deepak Kumar
less about it. However, we mostly say and believe that
earning money is very tough. I feel we rarely talk about
new ways of making more money.
Please read the success stories of Bill Gates,
Warren Buffet, Andrew Carnegie, John D.
Rockefeller, Dhirubhai Ambani & Richard Branson and
know how they did it and became super rich.
One more golden suggestion is to read a
remarkable book by Robert Kiyosaki, Rich Dad,
Poor Dad, a master-piece of insight about wealth. Also
read “The Science of Getting Rich” by Wallace Wattles
which will change your life, forever.
A great term that I mostly use in my vocabulary is
‘MSI’ i.e. ‘Multiple Sources of Income’. I will talk about
this in detail as it is the best education you can have in
earning more money.
Another term is MSK i.e. ‘Multiple Sources of
Knowledge’. Both these terms are inter-related.
Your MSI is directly proportional to your MSK.
“‘More you have knowledge about things,
more you can take from things,’
it is a universal law.”
How much you invest on your knowledge is very
important because this will pay you in the form of your
MSI (Multiple Sources of Income).
Like for a college teacher apart from teaching his
students, he can multiply his sources of income by the
following ways:-
103. Apple Juice for Success
103
He/she can share his/her knowledge with the masses
through conducting seminars, do video recordings and by
starting his own website. By writing books on that subject
and by acquiring deep & practical knowledge of that
subject he/she can give lectures in some more institutes
and can earn significant money. These all will be their
MSI, I mean to say additional sources of income.
But most of the teacher do only regular jobs in one
institution till retirement. They follow the rule of SSI
(Single Source of Income).
Remember rich people are always keen to open their
MSI and they are passionate about it.
Notice that many people have only SSI throughout
their life. i.e. they get (earn) money only from their 9 to 5
work. They will never try to increase their regular source
of income. They will never update their professional
knowledge. They will never invest on their own skills like
speaking, presentation & leadership skills.
If you are not updating and changing your abilities
as per the demands of time, you will never become
rich. Becoming rich is like making a building. Every
building requires a strong foundation. So for your strong
foundation, I am giving you the ‘10 Great Habits’ pack to
become extraordinary in the game of earning money.
Only 5% population of the world knows exactly
about the art of making money. I believe after reading
this book you will learn many new thoughts about there
5% extraordinary people, i.e. how they are playing the
game.

My Lessons About Money Making
1. Money-making is an art, and not just the luck
factor.
2. Like other subjects, money-making can also be
learned and understood.
3. Money-making is directly related to your
financial awareness.
4. You have to learn more about your work to earn
more.
5. The principles of money-making are universally
the same.
6. If you do what your heart says then moneymaking is extremely easy.
7. If you are a great network builder, moneymaking is an easy task.
8. Most important part is your thoughts about
money.
9. Remember, what Napoleon Hill said in his
great book ‘Think and Grow Rich’—“You have
to attract money because money has no power
of its own.”
(This is a deep point).
10. Being only interested in making-money will not
work for you. For making-money a reality, you
have to be dedicated towards it.

10 Habits of
Extraordinary People
1st Habit
They are Clear in What they Want
When you know what you want in your life then
somehow you will also acquire the knowledge about the
ways of how to achieve it. So let’s be clear about what
you want in your life from today itself and join the rich
club of the world.
Believe me, people with determination and dedication
in their vision can attain any height.
Most of the people don’t know what actually they are
searching in their life. If you don’t know where you are
going then how will you reach at that significant level.
Decide today itself what you want in your life and how
much dedicated you are to attain it.
“Control your own destiny or someone else will.”
—Jack Welch
106. 106
Deepak Kumar
“Rich people are dedicated towards becoming richer while
poor people are only interested in becoming rich.”
—T. Harv Eker
“You have got to win in your mind
before you win in life.”
—John Addison
So, make it clear today only as to where you are
going.
Now you know the blasting theory of successful Life
management. So clear your vision, mission, values and
goals today, get a mentor and start learning honestly
about the game.
Because you can stop in your life but time doesn’t stop
for anyone.
Please tell me—Have you seen any successful
personality in your life with confusion & hesitation?
Now, I think my message is clear to you.
So, make it clear from today itself what you want in
your life.
107. 2nd Habit
They are Passionate Dreamers
History shows that all the great achievers were
passionate dreamers. Remember the inventors of all
things that you are using today. A lot many times they
failed but they were fueled with their sincere dreams and
achieved their goals at the end.
All successful men are most passionate dreamers.
Remember the dreams of Graham Bell, Wright Brothers,
Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr. and Bill
Gates.
Dreamers only achieve.
“If you are not pursuing your dreams then
you are fueling your limitations.”
—Robin Sharma
“Dreams are free, so free your dreams.”
—Astrid Alauda
“If the dream is big enough, the facts don’t matter.”
—Dexter Yager
108. 108
Deepak Kumar
Henry ford saw the dream of a car in every home in
USA and you all know the results.
Have you ever heard the name of Graham Bell? Just
thank him for the cell phone you keep 24-hours a day
with you. What if he hadn’t dreamed of it? What’s your
life would have been? To even get a message you have to
wait for the postman, else the pigeon.
Read all about the billionaires & inventors of the
world. Know it clearly that how big and passionate
dreamers they were.
Answer me,
If you don’t have a dream then what you are going
to achieve. What I believe is that the one who doesn’t
have a dream is poor and not the one who doesn’t have
money.
One more thing.
Those who passionately dream don’t laugh at other’s
dreams.
Start dreaming passionately about your vision &
mission and join the 5% club of extraordinary people.
109. 3rd Habit
They are Perfect Networkers
This is one habit in which most of the people lack. I
am talking about 95% people. They have never tried to
make networks.
“Networking always works.”
Imagine you have only one person to sell your product
or have 50 people. Remember the product is one but if
your network is of 50 people then you will get money &
reputation 50 times faster.
Likewise, if you are making a mobile phone and only
one distributer is selling your phone and in the second
case if you have a huge presence in retail industry &
having 2,000 outlets in the country, then calculate how
much you will earn & grow.
“The richest people in the world build networks. Everyone
else is trained to look for the work.”
—Robert Kiyosaki
“The money that we spend on medicines is much greater
than the energy that we spend in making
our relationships with others.”
—Deepak Kumar
110. 110
Deepak Kumar
That’s one of the essential key elements of growth.
So start investing time in making networks from today
itself.
Imagine yourself in your birthday party, where
people from all walks of life have arrived like
Lawyers, Doctors, Engineers, Sportsman, Retailers,
Writers, Singers, Brokers, Actors, people from the
manufacturing fields, Telecom and Hotel Industry.
How nice and healthy personality and effectiveness
you would feel and also, how deeply you can convey your
message to the society.
Like I said in the beginning, your life is your message
to the entire world.
111. 4th Habit
They have a Friend Circle of
Extraordinary People (with Winners)
Your friend circle is the measure of your growth. If
they all are passionate like you in their fields then no
one can stop you from progress and if your friends are
just opposite to you then believe me you are in the wrong
company because only ‘Strength knows about strength.’
Big dreamers and big achievers never laugh on
somebody who is dreaming about achieving big. The
exactly opposite of the above is also true.
“A single conversation with a wise man
is better than 10 years of study.”
—Chinese Proverb
“I would never read a book if it were possible for me to talk
half an hour with the man who wrote it.”
—Woodrow Wilson
Please analyze very deeply your friend circle because it
is very important growth element in your life.
Extra ordinary people have friend circle with other
112. 112
Deepak Kumar
extraordinary people (winners of their field) and built a
strong network.
Make more and more friends in your life. Real friends
are the ones who stand with you in good times and also
in bad-times.
List your friends name and then write how they treat
you, how they behave when you share your heartiest
dreams with them.
If your responses are painful then please as a mentor I
would love to suggest you to change your friend circle.
Truely enlightened person never deceitt you, never
criticise you, but always try to uplift & cooperate with
you in becoming a valuable & successful personality.
Please read the following excellent books.
1. How to win Friends & Influence People by Dale
Carnegie.
2. The Friendship Factor by Allan Loy Mcginnis.
113. 5th Habit
They always look for new ideas and are
ready to learn them
‘Love of new’ is another key to the highway of success.
They all love new technologies and new styles of doing
things. The best people in the world of business are always
engaged in doing new things for their customers.
You know how fast things are changing and we have
to find new ways of doing things to grow in today’s world
(the biggest key of growth lies in this point).
“Millions saw the apple falling from the tree
but only Newton asked, why?”

I am only passionately curious.”

—Newton Diehl Baker
114. 114
Deepak Kumar
Please read about the R&D budget of the fortune 500
companies, then you will be clear about the importance
of new ideas in your life.
Start updating your professional knowledge with the
new ideas in your field of work and see the magical jump
in your profession.
Imagine, the softwares you are using and the updated
gadgets you are enjoying today, who developed all that?
Those people who love new ideas & new thougths.
See the list of fortune 500 Companies and give your
thought on these questions.
Why these companies are in the fortune 500 list?
How updated and careful these companies and their
staff is towards new ideas & new trends?
115. 6th Habit
They Love People and
Help Others to Grow
The best Company of one field is different in its
approach of treating people from the rest of the Companies
of the same field.
People are assets for every Company.
Relationship is everything.
“If you want to grow for one year, grow grain.
If you want to grow for ten years, grow trees.
If you want to grow for life, grow people.”
—A Proverb
Only those people grow in life who help other people
in growing. So another great quality of extraordinary
people is that they love people & help them in becoming
leaders.
“Leaders don’t create followers,
they create more leaders.”
—Tom Peters
“Whatever your business is, knowing human
nature is the key to success.”

Deepak Kumar
Zig ziglar nicely says this message as:
“You can get what you want to get if you help
other people in getting what they want.”
And also,
“Love life and life will love you back.
Love people and they will love you back.”
—Arthur Rubinstein
Remember, wherever you go, whatever you do, you
will find people around you and once you acquire the
skills of developing them you are not going to stop.
Please invest some time in developing your leadership
& public speaking skills, that will help you for lifelong.
You know, you have two options in life, either love
people or hate people. Loving people is the best option in
all respects and once you treat people like good people,
they automatically start showing their goodness. Because
everyone wants respect in his life. Loving people is the
key to lifelong success.
117. 7th Habit
They Use Everything What They Have
Tell me one thing—if you have a multi-media mobile
phone and you are using it only for incoming/outgoing
calls and SMSing, then you are not utilizing it to its fullest.
This is what separates you and those 5% extraordinary
people of the world.
Imagine a football or cricket ground with no
advertisement and no TV telecast then tell me how
much money sports men & organizers will earn.
I am giving you a big idea. Think over it. Use every bit
of your brain which is the most powerful computer in the
world. Extraordinary people are sure about the optimum
use of all the resources they have.
Think about my mobile phone example and replace

They Think & Talk of Abundance and
Work with Never-Ending Spirits
Please remember about the founders of great companies.
They are not with us today but their companies are still
growing. It is an indication of some deep meaning.
Extraordinary people always think in abundance. We
human beings are the most powerful entities present on

“We are what we think about all day long.”

How & why?
Thinking in Abundance about every thing is the key
to this. Think without limits. Thinking is very important.
You can never overtake your thinking in life.
