Live with inspiring quotes

Quotes can be defined as an experience of a lifetime put it in one sentence.

We usually try to follow the path of famous people and study how they achieved their success. In this process we come across so many learnings from their lives in the form of quotes. Keeping those quotes in front of us motivates us a lot. We like to read them everyday. Its like a success mantra for us. It inspires us and gives us strength to stay on our path without deviation.

Someone said "People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing. That's why we recommend it daily".

There are various ways you can keep the quotes which inspires you the most in front of your eyes for your daily dose of motivation. Here are few suggestions.

• Write them on a piece of paper in big font and stick to the most visible place. 
• Put it on your desktop as wallpaper. You can use desktop wallpaper settings to change them every few minutes.
• Use various wallpaper software available to fetch you quotes online.

A good source of collecting such wallpapers is to visit "http://lifehack.org/" and search for "30Sec Tip" or "Daily Quote" posts. Click the link below for one such example .

Maintain a ToDo list

ToDo list can be a very effective tool and can act as a reminder as well as a goal setter. It helps you manage your time and also force you to finish that pending task. It also helps you free your mind and gives a joy of achievement once you finish a task in your list.

Maintaining such a list with proper finish date is a must if you want to be successful in your life. You can write it down on a piece of paper, use your computer, mobile phone or any web based service which can help you jot it down quickly and be available when you need to be reminded.

Always keep something near you to write down whatever comes in your mind which you want to do. This will help free your mind and you won't be thinking all day what that important task you forgot.

Always start your day with a list of tasks you want to finish on that day and try to finish them no matter what. Soon you will see that you are doing many things and also having a lot of free time to spend on other nice things.

Also keep a list of tasks which you have completed. This will give you a feeling of achievement and will also serve as a reference in later stages of life.

Then, what are you waiting for. Start listing!

Everything is a project

As per Wikipedia "A project is a temporary endeavour with a defined beginning and end (usually time-constrained, and often constrained by funding or deliverables), undertaken to meet unique goals and objectives, typically to bring about beneficial change or added value.

Don't you think, by this definition, our life itself is a project. We born, we die. We have time, fund and various other constraints. We all think of achieving our goals and objectives that will help us live our life and in this process, help the society.

Therefore if we want to achieve our goals, we must learn about how to manage a project. Project management is a big subject but not very difficult to learn. Each of our goals can be considered as a project and implementing right tools, techniques and thinking process can help us achieve that goal with much certainty.

In our upcoming posts we will take a look on different ways we can use those tools and techniques to achieve success in our life.

Keet it simple

Life is complex, and keeping things simple around you really helps. No matter whether its financial life, eating habits, professional life, you name it. Keeping things simple helps you to keep track of your life and arrange it in a way you want.

If you have just one or two bank accounts, its more than enough to keep your money at your disposal. Similarly having a single Demat account for your shares, having two-to-four Mutual Fund SIPs, a single PPF account, a term insurance is more than enough to live a simple life.

Simple food is all you need to live a healthy life. Green juices, fruits, vegetable and some form of animal protein (not required though) is fine. 10/20 minutes of exercise can keep you fit.

Here is a collection of links which can help you achieve a simple yet powerful life. I'll keep adding useful links in this list.

A story called life

What's in a name!

Well, its true but when it comes to naming something, you usually think a lot. I was no exception while naming this blog "Living Pigment". Its about the story of my life and its various aspects. Life is very colourful no matter who you are, what you do, where you live. In its path it can teach you many things. Its up-to you how you learn from it. And believe me learning can be fun. Sometimes it doesn't look like fun but later when you look back, you smile at it. There can be misery, sorrow and sadness but everything teach you something and you become more and more experienced to tackle them hard.

So, let's start this journey of a small pigment of colour which can change into many shades and can change the world around it. Just like our small life which is ever changing and can change many things in the world around us.

In this blog I'll share my day to day learning, tips, tricks and stories which proved really useful for me. It will be from various areas like technology, finance, personal and professional life, photography, health and many more. Its going to be my online diary and I'll try to add a new shade at regular intervals. Let's see how it goes.

See you soon.
