It's just the beginning!

I joined my sister and her friend today for lunch. My sister was telling me that this girl is new in Malaysia and just wanted her to feel at home and it will be nice if I could join them for lunch.

So, being the nice big sister I joined them for lunch :) and being a typical Malaysian I asked a lot of the usual questions... where do you come from, your family, home etc...

Then I found out that her whole family knows me and they are apart of my organization that I started. But she had no clue that she was actually sitting with the person she was talking about!

As she has never seen me before... 

Then my sister gave me the stare... her big sparkling eyes lighted up & she opened her big mouth and said... " You are sitting in front of the founder of Northstar and this is the person who you are talking about!".

The girl was shocked, her mouth opened big... she couldn't believe what she was hearing.

I asked her what is her mother's name, made few calls & got connected to her mom & found out where exactly she belongs to in my organization!

When she left... all my sister said was, " I did not believe that time, what you started 5 years ago will be this big today!" and she continued, " Will the day come, I might have to sit next to someone in plane, hear them talk to me about you and I will have to say... yes I know that girl too... she is my sister!".

And I gave her my usual calm smile and told her... get ready this is just the beginning!

It's better to encourage!

Today I really saw how far can one go with a little encouragement...

I was in a presentation and a good friend of mine was on stage doing introduction and she looked a little shaky so to encourage her I showed my thumbs up and instantly her face lightened up & she gained her confidence... and she ended with a note!

Then my only sister and the love of my life took the stage... she didn't look like she was hitting any note, then again to encourage her, i did my thumbs up one more time! She instantly picked up momentum and she closed with a very powerful impact full message! She then confessed that it was my encouragement that gave her orientation tonight! 

Today I learnt, it is encouragement that helps one to uplift themselves thus producing better results! I will continue to encourage people around me :)

Your friends define you!

This afternoon I had a group of people that came over to my place. I got to know them lately and I am working with them to set up NorthStar in Bangladesh. ( NorthStar is an organization that was put together by my close friends and I... exactly 21 months ago to help ordinary people across the globe to live their best lives!)

This group of people were a little down as they were not seeing the results they anticipated and I told them since I have a nice flat screen why don't we watch a movie this afternoon! My sister and some other friends joined us too...

So we all sat together... the Malaysian way... with drinks & kacang ( ground nuts) and watched a famous Hindi movie called Lagaan! The last, I watched this movie was like 4 years ago! 

The movie is all about... the spirit in you! It's not about talent, skills, cash or anything else but only the spirit that you have inside you! 

And at the end of the movie, one of them said, "I have watched this like 35 times but today is the first time I felt the spirit and energy" and he continued..."maybe it is because of the people around me in this room and I don't know what and how but I am ready to go out and give all I have!". 

Bravo! Your friends define you!

You surely have come far!

You know you have done something in a country is when u land in the airport, someone sees you walking out of the plane and the word goes around " the lady is back!" and before you realize, strangers come running to you to shake your hands! 

And they say, "we knew you are the one! I have attended your program here. It's my lucky day, I saw you today!"

And others who got off the plane with you, give you the look, who on the earth are you! 

I enjoyed every moment of it!

May God grant me more energy to be better everyday!

I am back!

It has been very long since I took some time to write again!

I am guilty of always starting something and then putting it aside for the cows to come back home... and many many moons i will regret and say... only if i continued!

So, this time I am going to pick this from where I left and I will continue to put my thoughts to words again!

Hope you will continue to enjoy reading my blog... and for the final time sorry for the long wait!

I am back!
