The reply what Arthur Ashe gave was awesome:
‘The world over 50 million children start playing tennis,
5 million learn to play tennis,
500,000 learn professional tennis,
50,000 come to the circuit,
5000 reach the grand slam,
50 reach Wimbledon,
4 to semi final,
2 to the finals,
When I was holding the Wimbledon Cup I
never asked the GOD ‘Why it happens to me alone?’

Today when I have to experience this pain I should not be asking GOD
‘Why it happnes to me alone?’ ‘

I heard the following great lines from some of my friends:
‘Happiness keeps you Sweet,
Trials keep you Strong,
Sorrow keeps you Human,
Failure keeps you Humble and
Success keeps you glowing,
Only Faith &Attitude Keeps you going…

‘Have great hopes and dare to go all out for them,
Have great dreams and dare to live them,
Have tremendous expectations and believe in them.‘

If you have already finished Born To Win you definitely know what I am talking about. If you are yet to
step into Born to Win keep this inspiring message close to your heart.

Arthur Ashe - Hats off to you: You are one more guy who started inspiring me greatly!

It was a totally a new and awesome experience. We just finished the Dubai camp (last week Abu Dhabi Camp was completed) which is one of the biggest children camps ever done. It was full of energy, fun, excitement and many super special emotions. As I always say the success of the Children camp is always dedicated to the great efforts of the coaching team. The entire coaching team (both the ACoaches and the Coaches) needs a big ’salute!’ You people were awesome and you are the people who made it happen.

The team of Assistant Coaches Apoorva, Adil, Swathi, Shruthi, Natasha, Kiran Madhu, Pranav, Gauthami, Sukjit, Abraham, Sagar Suri, Richard - You people were so inspiring and really made a tremendous difference in the amount of energy we experiened inside the hall! I love you all deep from my heart. I am going to miss you people till the time we meet next.

The Coaches from India Bhaskaran (Program Director), Manohar, Uma, Sudharshan; Coaches from Dubai/Sharjah Mathew, Hasan, Richard, Abdul Ghani, Beena, George. Each and every one of you made a huge difference in the life of those wonderful children. You all were totally guided and so certain on what you were doing. I wish this camp gives you all a new learning, and all the support required to move to the next level in your life.

As usual: Nirmala - your training and coaching made tremendous difference. Like how Richard Coach said, let the Force of Guidance be your voice!
Abhayan - You are like the basement of the huge building. Your efforts were the foundation for this greatest experience what we all had together.
Sendhil’s presence gave every bit of moral support required.

It is not only these set of people but each and every one who is part of OnlySuccess and every one who has coached in the past - your thoughts were always with us.

These days were not only the greatest days for the children but also for me. I am wondering how come in this camp there were so many varieties of people. The truth is no two children are similar. Interestingly in this camp every child was so different and that was the reason for such a great experience. I thank the super power nature for giving this greatest privilege to touch the lives of so many children and their parents. Let the children remain the way they walked out of the camp for ever in their life!

We are doing a live phobia cure of Snake this week on Saturday.

What is a Phobia?
Phobia is the intense fear for something. One of the most feared creatures in the world is the Snake. I have seen individuals who can be scared even with the picture of the snake or when they see the snake on the TV.

Interestingly every human is not phobic to snake. People are phobic to various things:

Cockroach - Are you the one who run around the house to save yourself from a cockroach?
Spouse - No kidding. I am telling the truth.
Boss - They hate the office and always think what my boss will say Computer / Technology - They never learn new technology!

Why phobia or intense phobia is created in the mind?
Everyone is not phobic to snake or cockroach. Each individual is phobic to different creatures or activities. Why is it. Mind distorts certain creatures or events greatly.

There are people who can make the face of the cockroach so big and scream. There are people who can think of the touch of the snake skin or the lizard and intensify the fear.

Through the science of NLP(Neuro Linguistic Programming), I learnt this amazing truth:

Once the distortion is worked on instantly a phobia can be cured!

Even phobias of life time can be cured in minutes, which with a the traditional psychiatrist may take years of treatment.

How it will be if a super expert on NLP works on you or works on somebody live in front of you to cure the phobia? Mind-blowing? Here is the details of the Live Phobia cure which will be done by my Training Director Praveen Sherman. Obviously first of its kind. Grab a pass for you and your family today.

It happens on Saturday, 14th June 2008 at 6.30 pm @ Chinmaya Heritage Center, Harrington Road, Chetpet, Chennai. Call 4215 5353 or email to info@onlysuccess.net to get your pass.

Lots of training, lots of coaching, and lots of fun.  More than all it is a great feeling of supporting the children to change their lives for ever.  Once common question I always hear from coaches is ‘Why Coaching is Addictive?’ 

Addictive means anything which you cannot stop easily.  Anything that you gives you a great feeling when you do, when you get indulged. Anything that you want to do it again and again, where heart takes over the mind.

I have always found two kinds of addictions:
1. Negative addictions - They are the ones that destroys us internally and physically in the long run.   Smoking, drinking, uncontrollable time spent on TV / internet, excessive sleeping etc

2. ???????? ????? ????????Positive addictions - They allow us to grow stronger emotionally and show our inner strengths.  Coaching is one among those positive addictions.

What creates the addictions in the coaching:  Anything that gives you an emotional ‘high’ always turns out to be an addictive behaviour.  When you are a coach to somebody you become a roll model for others.  People look up to you as a person whom they can trust, whom they can model and whom they can admire.  These factors push you to see yourself differently.  It helps you to easily come out of some of your lousy patters which you wanted to step out for years together. 

Like any new behaviour to set in for the first time always there is a resistance.  That is the reason I even see people come back to coach after one or even 2 years from the time they finish the Born to Win program.  But the interesting part is once they come in they realise that it is addictive.  They keep coming back for coaching.  It give an emotional ‘high’.  It makes you more disciplined.  It shows a new you.  It pushes your identity to the next better level.  It makes you grow internally. It creates the opportunity to make a difference in others life which for many of the coaches what I have seen is a first time experience.

I love positive addictions.  In fact that makes you grow faster.  Keep increasing your list of positive addictions and grow stronger internally.  Keep coaching….Say I love Coaching.
