POWER OF HABIT The amount of time we spend on thinking, doing on a routine basis, the things we believe in and the persona we portray, as a result of this continuous and repeated behavior and action we form Habits…… Habits define our future, why some are more successful than others, why few are more happy than others, the answer lies in the habits we follow,
SIMPLE RULE IS: SUCCESFUL HABITS LEADS TO SUCCESS. It is this: You are where you are and what you are because of yourself. Everything you are today, or ever will be in the future, is up to you. Your life today is the sum total result of your choices, decisions and actions up to this point.
THOUGHTS BECOME THINGS….. You can create your own future by changing your behaviors. You can make new choices and decisions that are more consistent with the person you want to be and the things you want to accomplish in your life.

AMITABH BACHAN is not just an actor, he is an inspiration to millions of people around the world and more importantly he is a true “LEGENDARY LEARNER.” What makes him a legendary learner and what can we learn from his extraordinary habit frame work? Firstly Amitabh Bachan is an epitome of undying spirit and exuberant energy, every director in Indian film industry feels proud to work along with him, he is a passionate learner, for him every new role and script that he enacts deserves the same dedication as he showered on his very first film, Humbleness and perseverance towards work is synonym to the persona called MR. BACHAN, All was not as rosy as it seems today when Mr.Bachan began his career forty years ago, he was rejected by many directors for his height and by All India Radio for his deep voice, later to his debut in Bollywood he had to face few flops, but he was determined to make a mark in the industry, he took up side roles , also as second to the lead actor just to be in the lime light . He had to undergo a lot of hardships and rejections till he tasted immense success in the 80s , this was the period when he was considered super star and would give complex to any contemporary heroes. Well then came a time in 90s when few series of incidents took place in Mr. Bachan’s life and he again had to witness grieve situations when he was out of work, his company went bankrupt, he was embroiled in legal battles along with government authorities hounding him for huge unpaid taxes…. For any ordinary being, this could have spelled like catastrophe…but history had something more exceptional to unveil…. At the age of 57 he started his second innings as an anchor of Kaun banega crorepati (Translated:Who wants to be a millionaire) which was a super success and from then on their was no looking back…

4.BECOME YOUR OWN PERSONAL BRAND: Irrespective of which ever field orIndustry we work , we should create our own niche, the once rejected deep voice was articulately used by Bachan to create an image of an angry young man in his films, so what ever we pursue lets do it uniquely and make a personal brand for self.
