My take :-

1. Starting with a purpose 
2. Planning
3. Gifting something to every one (smile included )
4. Deflect partisan conversations (Detachment)
5. Assume people have good intentions
6. Eat good food slowly
7. Not worrying about results but job at hand (Message from Gita)
8. Turn off the background noise ( Detachment )
9. End each day with gratitude

I liked the last line and from now on will just pen down one wonderful thing that happened to me.

So for today, it was giving gyaan on why LUCK is not important.
I realized that while the moment when LUCK could be attributed as a strong factor for me, it was also the fact that I was trying to achieve the goal really badly.And probably "The Alchemist" message helped in the process.

In the last 2 years, I have not been able to have a concrete set of goals and hence have been just wandering around for the omens to come.Probably its part of the journey called Life.The below link is quite motivational in that aspect :-

Reaching the highest point of contribution ( Talent ,Market and Passion) is what I was selling in Delhi in 09.Though the terms were (Aptitude,Interest and Personality). I had taken market forces as just a factor and not as a strong influencing factor during the sales and probably that's the root cause of the failure of the product.
