This was a fantastic message sent by one of my good friends.
You are not here just to fill space or to be a background character in someone else’s movie.
Consider this: nothing would be the same if you did not exist.
Every place you have ever been and everyone you have ever spoken to would be different without you.
We are all connected, and we are all affected by the decisions and even the existence of those around us.
Take the example of Peter, an attorney in Philadelphia, and his dog, Tucket. Tucket was very sick. Gradually he was becoming paralyzed by a tumor on his spinal cord.
Peter could not find a veterinary doctor who could save his dog. Desperate to find someone who could help, he turned to a pediatric neurosurgeon. The doctor agreed to try to help Tucket, and in return he asked Peter for a donation to the children’s hospital he worked in.
Jerry has never met Peter or Tucket. Jerry is a blue-eyed, blond-haired, five-year-old boy who loves to eat mashed potatoes. Jerry also has tumors on his spine and in his brain. With help from the donation Peter made to the hospital, Jerry underwent successful surgery performed by the doctor to remove the tumors.
Tucket’s surgery was also a success.
Studies of older Americans find that one of the best predictors of happiness is whether a person considers his or her life to have a purpose. Without a clearly defined purpose, seven in ten individuals feel unsettled about their lives; with a purpose, almost seven in ten feel satisfied.

Why do so many plans fail to produce the results? This question has always fascinated all the strategic planners and management thinkers. Let us look at some of the issues which typically crop up and hit the well laid plans.
One, the plans have not taken the reality on the ground into account
Two, the plans are being executed by people who are not skilled
There cannot be any other issue. Every single issue is a combination of the two above. Let us take an example. If the plan has taken into account all factors but let us say on the date of execution the reality is slightly different, it again means that the plan has not factored the possible change in reality.
Another example. Let us say that the team does not believe in the plan though greatly skilled. Even if that is the case, the lack of belief would mean that in some respect, they were not skilled to execute the plan.
There are no quick fixes. The only way to ensure execution to the t is to ensure skilled people. That is where continous training comes in. The only way is to ensure that the plan takes into account the possiblity of changing realities. Both are very very difficult to achieve. That is why so many well meant, well laid plans go awry.
