Always be an optimistic leader

  There is always a tendency to make witty and negative remarks for your team or organization .  Always recommended to talk positively and keep the morale up even if the circumstances are dire .  You will often be proved wrong if you have been optimistic and the project fails . Over the long run people will remember you as a leader who made you feel positive and kept your chin straight .  Always remember this throughout your life  

Rule of Six

There are multiple ambitions that we have in a day . We are either scared of noting down the tasks or are too ambitious and fill up the day with multiple tasks and make it nearly impossible to complete the list during the day .  The day is then left incomplete and we feel frustrated at the end of the day as there is a long list of pending tasks . One of the most effective ways of combating such a situation is to not do more than 6 tasks in a day and reviewing the checklist to identify the most important so that we get close to achieving the same and feel satisfied and confident .

One of the most important treatises of a visitor from the Western world dates back to Mauryan times. The oldest and most comprehensive record we have on India comes from Megasthenes, the Greek amba
