Last week, I was playing basketball alone in my court, shooting the hoops. It was easy but after 30 minutes, it gets really boring because there’s no competition. When someone’s blocking me to shoot, it’ll get MORE difficult and there’s where the fun begins. Conclusion, games or sports are not fun if there are no challenges.

I used to whine when I’m facing obstacles for my internet businesses but when I start taking the metaphor of playing a game, I’m no longer that frustrated anymore. If you can treat doing business like playing a game, will you see things differently now?

After making a mark in long distance swimming in India, a teenage swimmer from Mumbai has her eyes set on conquering the Strait of Gibraltar and English Channel.

Aakanksha Mishra, who turned 16 recently and became old enough to brave the waters of the English Channel, plans to swim the Strait of Gibraltar from Spain to Africa and back, a feat few Asian swimmers have achieved.

“The Strait of Gibraltar is considered tougher for swimmers despite being only 21-km long, since it is shark-infested and also happens to have very strong currents which makes it difficult to swim through,” says Aakanksha.

There once lived a great warrior. Though quite old, he still was able to defeat any challenger. His reputation extended far and wide throughout the land and many students gathered to study under him.

One day an infamous young warrior arrived at the village. He was determined to be the first man to defeat the great master. Along with his strength, he had an uncanny ability to spot and exploit any weakness in an opponent. He would wait for his opponent to make the first move, thus revealing a weakness, and then would strike with merciless force and lightning speed. No one had ever lasted with him in a match beyond the first move.

This magic can work wonders for you:

- Mindset. Change your thoughts and you would have changed your world.

- Action. Action makes hope rise.

- Goalset. Goal Mind is Gold Mine.

- Initiatives. Take the 1st step to realize your dream.

- Challenge. The sky is the limit.
