12 STEPS !!!


Step ೧: We admitted we were powerless over our emotions – that our lives had become unmanageable.
Step ೨: Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
Step ೩: Made a decision to turn our will over to the care of God, as we understood Him.
Step ೪: Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
Step ೫: Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of out wrongs.
Step ೬: Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
Step ೭: Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
Step ೮: Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
Step ೯: Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
Step ೧೦: Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it.
Step ೧೧: Sought out prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God, as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will and the power to carry that out.

Dirubai Ambani's.....Words To Sucess!!!

* The problem with Indians is that we have lost the habit of thinking big!
* We can prove to the world that India can do it. That Indians are not afraid of competition. That India is a nation of achievers.
* I dream India of becoming a great economic superpower.
* We must always go for the best. Do not compromise on quality. Reject if it is not the best -- not only the best in India, but globally.
* If India wants to be a great nation, we must have courage to trust. This is my sincere belief.
*All we have to do is to break the shackles that chain the energies of our people, and India's economy will record a quantum leap and move into a new, higher orbit of growth, competitiveness and productivity.
• For those who dare to dream, there is a whole world to win!
• Think big, think fast, think ahead. Ideas are no one's monopoly.
• Our dreams have to be bigger. Our ambitions higher. Our commitment deeper. And our efforts greater.
*I consider myself a pathfinder. I have been excavating the jungle and making the road for others to walk. I like to be the first in everything I do.
* Money is not a product by itself, it is a by-product, so don't chase it.
