7 Myths of Success

We all want to be successful in one way or another. We all have our beliefs in what it takes to become successful. The following are 7 myths of success. If any of your beliefs of what it takes to be successful fall within these 7 myths, you may want to reconsider. Holding onto these beliefs will greatly reduce your chances of ever becoming successful.

1. Working longer hours is the cornerstone of success.

It isn't hard to figure out why so many people believe this myth. We were all taught that if you want something, you have to work hard to get it. The longer you work, the more responsibilities you have and therefore, the more you must be getting paid. If you look at the opposite end, you will further see why this myth is ingrained in so many people's minds. Those who don't work long hours are lazy and will never amount to anything.

Although working longer hours will result in better pay if you get paid overtime, it is not something that is required to be successful. There are countless of successful people out there who work less than 40 hours a week. It's not about how long you work. It's about how you leverage your work. You can free up a lot of your time simply by hiring others to do certain tasks that need to be done but aren't crucial to your success. That way, you can have more time to do things like work on your business instead of in your business.
The ideal thing to do is to get into a business or career that you absolutely love. That way, work won't really feel like work so even if you put in a lot of hours, it will be by choice and not because you need the money.

What HR People Won’t Tell You About Your Resume and Job Interview

1. “When it comes to getting a job, who you know really does matter. No matter how nice your résumé is or how great your experience may be, it’s all about connections.” –HR director at a health-care facility

2. “If you’re trying to get a job at a specific company, often the best thing to do is to avoid HR entirely. Find someone at the company you know, or go straight to the hiring manager.” –Shauna Moerke, an HR administrator in Alabama who blogs at hrminion.com

3. “People assume someone’s reading their cover letter. I haven’t read one in 11 years.” –HR director at a financial services firm

4. “We will judge you based on your e-mail address. Especially if it’s something inappropriate like kinkyboots101@hotmail.com or johnnylikestodrink@gmail.com.” –Rich DeMatteo, a recruiting consultant in Philadelphia

When was Lord Rama born?

Lord Ram was born on the noon of January10 in the year 5114 BC. In Hindu calendar, it was the ninth day of Shukla Paksha in Chaitra month. Stunned! Well, this exact date of the birthday of Lord Rama is found in the book ‘Dating the Era of Lord Ram’ by Shri Pushkar Bhatnagar. The exact date was obtained by entering the planetary configuration at the time of the birth of Lord Ram as mentioned in the Valmiki Ramayana in Planetarium Software. Interestingly, for thousands of years Hindus have been celebrating Ram Navmi, the birthday of Lord Ram, exactly on the same time and date.

In the original Sanskrit Ramayana written by Sage Valmiki, while mentioning about the birth of Lord Ram, Valmiki had mentioned the astronomical details of the precise moment. Valmiki himself was present in the palace of Dasaratha and he mentions it thus in Bala Kanda of Ramayana.

On completion of the ritual six seasons have passed by and then in the twelfth month, on the ninth day of chaitra month when the presiding deity of ruling star of the day is Aditi, where the ruling star of day is punarvasu, the asterism is in the ascendant, and when five of the nine planets viz., Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Venus are at their highest position, when Jupiter with Moon is ascendant in Cancer, and when day is advancing, then Queen Kausalya gave birth to a son with all the divine attributes like lotus-red eyes, lengthy arms, roseate lips, voice like drumbeat, and who took birth to delight the Ikshwaku dynasty, who is adored by all the worlds, and who is the greatly blessed epitome of Vishnu, namely Rama. [1-18-8, 9, 10, 11]

When this data was entered in the Planetarium software, the day was January 10, 5114 BC. But how could Chaitra Shukla Navami occur in January? We celebrate Ram Navami in March or April.
