Mindset is a set of beliefs that shape how you make sense of the world and yourself. It influences how you think, feel and behave in any given situation. Dr. Carol Dweck explains "why it is not just our abilities and talents that bring us success - but whether we approach our goals with a fixed or growth mindset. With the right mindset, we can motivate our children to raise their grades, as well as reaching our own goals - both personal and professional" . Mindset is the way to fulfill your potential. In this blog I will be discussing about my exploration into how mindset is formed. If we know how mindset gets formed, it can reveal the ways to bring the desired changes in the mindset. I request you to critically review my thoughts on this and express your thoughts in the comments. You are also welcome to contact me. I will be replying to all your queries and comments. I am looking forward to it. How mindset is formed? Professor Dweck in her book MINDSET talks about how the me

It was a big surprise for me as so for all the stress and focus has been on knowledge and knowledge alone . Nobody taught us about Imagination. As I had a great regard for Einstein as one of the greatest scientist, I started contemplating about imagination.  In this blog I will be discussing about my exploration, what is imagination, how imagination can help in our day to day life, how imagination can help us in finding creative solutions to our problems, and how imagination can be nurtured ? I will be also sharing with you about my journey in developing a system to help people in using the power of imagination

In this blog I am going to discuss about  how, I came to know about  the existence of ' automatic goal striving mechanism' in the human brain. Then,  I started exploring this mechanism.  I started working on finding the means and ways of making use of this magical mechanism for achieving whatever we want in life, and for improving the quality of life.  Here is my story. I look forward to your views and thoughts on this, so that jointly we can take it forward.  MY OBSERVATIONS My grandson who was studying in 5th standard became interested in robotics and joined the class for learning. He got a kit and started working on making a robot to perform   certain functions like identifying the objects by colors, picking up a particular color piece and moving it to some location. I observed him doing this quite keenly. I watched him writing programs to first identify the objects by color, estimating the distance, making the robot move that distance by programming, picking it up, moving
