Bangalore Meet-up?

Bangalore Meet-up, December 2007

I am currently in Bangalore, India, visiting family and friends. I am using this opportunity to meet with several blog readers and supporters of my work at Right Attitudes. Concurrently, I am conducting seminars on behavioral communication at a few organizations around town.

If you are in Bangalore or will be here before the end of this month, I would love to connect with you:

  • I could speak at your organization.
  • I have contemplated the idea of a gathering of readers and supporters of Right Attitudes. We could all meet in a convenient place. Due to travel and upcoming holidays, I have had mixed responses from prospective attendees.
  • We could meet one-on-one.

If you would be interested in any of these prospects, please contact me via e-mail or the contact form on my website. Please leave your telephone number and your location in Bangalore.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Ideas for Impact: A New Series of Articles

'Ideas for Impact': A New Series of Articles on Right Attitudes

Quite a few regular readers of my Right Attitudes blog and its predecessor website have proposed that I use this forum to share ideas and insights from various sources. In response to your requests, I am announcing a new series of articles entitled ‘Ideas for Impact.’

Every week, I will present valuable insights drawn from a variety of sources—books, magazines, blogs, interviews, and, speeches. Each article will feature a brief summary or excerpt of ideas for personal and organisational development. Additionally, I will include a call for action that will help you reflect and act on these influential thoughts.

I hope that you will apply these practical wisdoms to change yourselves—your mindsets, thoughts and actions. I am confident that this ‘Ideas for Impact’ series of articles will further the mission of my Right Attitudes blog in leading you and your organisations to effectiveness in your personal and professional lives.

I love to hear from you and get your feedback. If you have ideas or contributions for future ‘Ideas for Impact’ articles, do not hesitate to contact me.

Do good work and enjoy life!

Blog Mission Statements, Restructured

Based on feedback I received from blog readers and subscribers, I recently restructured my blog’s mission statements. Below are the new contents. You may also see the separate page on Blog Mission; this page is accessible from the links on the left-side pane.

Attitudes are Contagious

“Could we change our attitude,
we should not only see life differently,
but life itself would come to be different.”
- Katherine Mansfield (1888 - 1923)

Attitudes are mindsets that shape our behavior and influence our outlook to life. Our choice of thoughts and actions has a profound effect on the various constituents of our lives. Our attitudes determine the paths we choose to lead and these choices largely determine our effectiveness, prosperity, success and contentment.

Blog Mission

Through my blog, I aspire to share the many lessons that I have learned in life. I will write about things I could have done, things I should have done, and things I do now. I hope to make a difference by pointing specific steps we can take to translate the power of right attitudes into our behavior. (I am an engineer and engineers love enumerated lists of actions.)

I hope that the conversations I will initiate here will have a positive influence on your effectiveness in your personal and professional lives.

Additionally, I look forward to your participation by posting opinions, raising challenging questions and suggesting topics that I can write about. I appreciate your time.

Dream big, do good work and enjoy life!

My Inspirational Quotations Collection

“The wisdom of the wise and the experience of the ages are perpetuated by quotations” - Benjamin Disraeli (1804 - 1881)

Our thoughts characterize our lives. We become what we think. The attitudes we develop from our thoughts can have a profound positive influence on our behavior and can foster an optimistic outlook towards life.

Inspirational quotations encapsulate man’s wisdom through the ages. They are provocative and enjoyable. The habit of comprehending these words of inspiration can permeate our lives with the right attitudes.

I have been an enthusiastic collector of inspirational quotations over the years. On a supplementary website / sub-domain (inspiration.rightattitudes.com), I have presented my collection by topic and by author. I desire that you gain motivation and strength from this presentation of my collection.

I send out a mailing of inspirational quotations every Monday. Subscribe and join over 1,200 associates that currently subscribe to my weekly mailing. FAQ is here. I look forward to your participation by subscribing to my weekly mailing of inspirational quotations and by contributing your favorite inspirational quotations for inclusion in the website.

Mission of the ‘Right Attitudes’ Blog

“Could we change our attitude, we should not only see life differently, but life itself would come to be different.” - Katherine Mansfield (1888 - 1923)

Attitudes are mindsets that shape our behaviour and influence our outlook to life. Attitudes are contagious; our choice of thoughts and actions has a profound effect on the various constituents of our lives. Our attitudes determine the paths we choose to lead and these choices largely determine our productivity, prosperity, success and contentment.

I aspire to use this blog to share my thoughts on the power of right attitudes and on translating such thoughts into enduring skills, disciplines and actions. I hope to initiate conversations on various topics that can have a positive influence on our performance at work, our relationships, our conduct and the communities we live in.

My articles will be broadly classified into various categories: personality development, communication, leading people, managing business functions and personalities we admire. Every week, I will post a supplementary list of inspirational quotations from my inspirational quotations website. Additionally, I will have articles on my analysis of management practices and news from some of the industries I follow, viz., civil aviation, technology, services and retailing.

I look forward to your participation by posting opinions, raising challenging questions and suggesting topics that I can write about. I appreciate your time. Do good work and enjoy life!
