People who became famous in spite of their disability


Elders say “health is wealth,” which I think is a profound statement because if you have your health you have the world at your feet. You can achieve anything you want.

What if you were born with a disability? Just the thought scares you right? You don’t need to be born with a disability (or differently able, as it is polite to say) you can also contract a disability while you are a kid. Some of us even become differently abled after we grow up.

It is hard to imagine, isn’t it? I for one get very scared to think of growing up with a disability. Life isn't the same. Or so we think? I wasn't sure. That’s when I thought, let me try and figure out the top five people in the world who have lived with a health disability and yet proved to the World that they can kick some mighty ass.

Here goes my list of people who proved willpower is more important than health. People who proved to the rest of the world that it would take a lot more than a missing limb or some chemical imbalance (chemical locha) in the brain to hold them down. People who became famous in spite of their disability.

Hellen Keller, Disability: Deaf-Blind, (1880-1968)

Hellen Keller had contracted a disability by her second birthday - she had become a deaf-blind. Imagine not being able to hear sounds and not being able to see things and being only two years old. The very thought scares the shit out of me.

In spite of this disability, Hellen Keller learned to read and write and guess what became the first deaf blind person to get a bachelor degree. Hellen Keller could have been happy with the bachelor degree but no. She then started working for disability rights, social welfare, women rights. She had such a strong personality that nobody could say a “No” to Hellen Keller. Today she is the most famous disable person ever.

Ludwig Van Beethoven, Disability: Deafness, (1770-1827)

Imagine being a World-renowned musician and losing your ability to hear sounds when at the age of 30. This is exactly what happened with Ludwig Van Beethoven – he contracted the disability at 30 and by the time he was 40 he lost his hearing completely. Not the right ability to lose for a musician.

For a normal musician, that would have been the end of the road but not for Ludwig Van Beethoven. He kept going and came up with his best work after 40 – and became famous in spite of his disability.

It is believed that Ludwig Van Beethoven had some special powers, which helped him create music at the speed and quality at which he did. His compositions have enthralled generations of music lovers and continue to inspire musicians of all age and genre. He is perhaps the most famous musician today and many don't believe when told that he had a disability - that of hearing.

Franklin D. Roosevelt, Disability: Polio, (1882-1945)

Franklin D. Roosevelt is one of the most inspirational politicians to have lived. He was the President of US at the most difficult time possible – the time of the great depression and World War II. Franklin D. Roosevelt led the country out of it on both the occasions.

When he was 39 years old he was stricken with polio and was paralyzed waist down. Not a disability one can live with easily, especially if you have to lead the active life of a politician. Any normal person would have given up but not Roosevelt. He went on to be the President of United States of America from March 1933 to his death in April 1945 – for a record four terms. Sometimes he is also referred to as the wheelchair President.

Franklin D. Roosevelt is regarded as as one of the top three U.S. Presidents, in the company of the slavery abolisher Abraham Lincoln and George Washington. Surely, disability didn't stop him from becoming famous.

Stephen Hawking, Disability: Lou Gehrig's disease, (1942-Now)

Stephen Hawking was a regular 21-year science student at Cambridge when he was diagnosed with a motor neuron disease called Lou Gehrig's disease. Lou Gehrig's disease has gradually paralyzed Stephen Hawking and today the only muscle he can move in his body is his cheek muscle. He has a speech-generating device using which he communicates with rest of the World. This is perhaps the most dooming disability.

A normal man would have given up but Stephen Hawking was made of sterner stuff. In spite of his disability he went on and proved to the world that he can lead a life of his own. His books on various topics (such as A Brief History of Time, On the Shoulders of Giants, The Universe in a Nutshell etc) have made him a famous man. He is also an Honorary Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and today teaches at University of Cambridge.

John Nash, Disability: Schizophrenia, (1928-Now)

John Nash is an American mathematician, who has struggled with Schizophrenia for a good part of his life and yet gone on to win a Nobel Prize for mathematics. John Nash is know for what he called “Nash Equilibrium” which has made Economics and Economic predictions easier.

Around the time he turned 30 he started behaving abnormally and complained that there were people following him around. He was diagnosed and sent to hospital for paranoid schizophrenia. As treatment he was administered insulin shock therapy as well. Thanks to schizophrenia, John Nash was no longer the brilliant mathematician he used to be. Instead, he became delusional and an irritant to people around him. In other words now he had a disability and he was yet to learn to deal with his disability.

Any normal man would have given up mathematics and gone and lived in a dark room in the basement, but John Nash was a lot tougher than that. With support from his wife, his friends, his colleagues and his own will to lead an exemplary life he overcame Schizophrenia and eventually won the Nobel price in 1994.

John Nash’s life was made into a movie titled A Beautiful Mind, a real tribute to a man who became famous in spite of his disability.

Five lessons from Arvind Kejriwal’s victory

Arvind Kejriwal



Presenting five lessons from Arvind Kejriwal’s victory in Delhi today.

A decisive & distinct leader always wins


Modi had that pull during Lok Sabha elections and he continued with the same charisma for the Delhi elections. BJP's problem was that even Arvind Kejriwal had an equal amount of magnetism. In a country bereft of political leadership both these men stood out as a beacon of hope. If Modiji aanewaale hain was the war cry during 2014 Lok Sabha elections, this time it was paanch saal Kejriwal.



An individual's or organization's resilience is always rewarded




In life, what goes around comes around

In last year’s Lok Sabha election, Congress didn’t even win 10% of the seats and this Delhi election the same happened with BJP - a huge lesson to never rest on your laurels. Why would in just eight months, the people of Delhi bring BJP from its high of 46 percent votes to a low of just 33 percent – and give 67 out of 70 seats to AAP?



When you lose, there is always a second chance




A good leader takes both autocratic & democratic decisions




Easy to implement tips on time management

Since everybody is looking for easy to implement tips on time management, here goes the list:

Plan it well

168 hours can be a lot of time if used correctly. Figure out where all this time goes, and you can get many things done. Smart folks plan their next day the night before. They chalk out what time they need to wake up, and schedule all their tasks. Having a schedule is the first tip on time management - it will keep you from going insane through a busy day.

Find out what works for you

Productivity apps won’t help you do more in less time. In short, they can't make you productive. Smart people use apps to become productive but smarter people go the old fashioned way – they write it down with pen and paper. They feel it increased their commitment better than when using a cellular device. So figure out which gives you a feel of strong commitment. Writing or digital reminders.

Fix up priorities

Your time is limited so concentrating on priorities is the only way you can make things happen. You spend time on a task, you make progress. Even a little time spent will lead you somewhere! If you don't prioritize there is no point on having even 100 tips on time management.

Small bits make it big

When you feel overwhelmed and want to give up. Breaking tasks down into smaller chunks is the best way to achieve more in the same time. Smart managers also feel that small steps make a big project easier to finish within the given time. You too can try this!

Use every bit of time

Learn to adjust. Every bit of time is valuable and never skip tasks if you feel you don’t have much time. Find something to do in every gap you get. This way you will actually be reducing your workload.

Rank your work

Prioritize your work and make a judgment call on what matters the most to you. That way you can both finish what is bothering you and what interests you within the time.

Take a break

Taking breaks in-between durations of hard work help people accomplish more. Be it a real task or something you want, you can get the dual advantage by taking a break from your chores and relaxing a bit.

Best examples of Indian Jugaad

Wallclock Jugaad in India

Indians are known to be masters of Jugaad. Just in case you didn’t know, Jugaad is also known as (or explained to non-Indians) as Frugal Innovation. That is, simple low-cost fixes. Please note that Jugaad is a concept and can be used in the case of a mechanical contraption as well as a political solution – just that jugaad has to be a quick fix, with little of no cost. There is a certain school of thought which believes that jugaad is always a short-term fix.

Outside of business schools and self-help books, the word jugaad is used to signify imagination or creativity to make existing things work (or work better) or to create new things with limited resources.

Jugaad is not a concept limited to India. The American version of a jugaad is a “hack.” Though “hack” as a concept has existed for a long time awareness for jugaad has seen a sudden rise in recent times in India. So much so that the jugaad mindset is being associated with the Indians.

Some believe that jugaad is a curse brought on the Indians, thanks to our huge population but bad infrastructural support and income distribution. They believe that the Indian “Jugaad” spirit is not something to be proud of because our ability to go for the jugaad will never allow us to build globally scalable products of high quality.

These non-believers say that for a small time entrepreneur living in a village with limited financial & physical resources jugaad makes sense but not for the country as a whole.
