Islamabad (March 31): Dreams are possible to accomplish through planning and discipline, says a leading entrepreneur. 

'By controlling your attitude and bringing yourself into discipline, you can achieve 200% results in your performance. The numerical value of the alphabets used in 'discipline' and 'attitude' is also 200!' said Bob Urichuck- a certified master trainer and published author. He was giving a lecture on his best selling book, Online for life: The 12 Disciplines for Living Your Dreams to a select audience organized by TCS and Sensei.

'By know your rights; making a decision; taking control of your life; knowing yourself; knowing what you want out of life; grouping, categorizing and prioritizing; identifying what you are prepared to give in exchange; creating a goal logbook; committing to you action plan; being action oriented; monitoring and measuring your progress and being thankful one could live his/her dreams,' Bob said elaborating each discipline in detail with lively examples.

'You should know your rights because you have the right to your dreams, desires and expectation. Making no choice-indecision-invalidates all options because it paralyzes you. There are three types of people in this world: those who don't know or can't decide on what they want; those who wish and dream and do nothing about it; and those who know what they want, plan for it, and go out and get it,' Bob said.

Bob urged the participants to disciplining themselves. 'Discipline yourself-do what you have to do even when you don't want to do it, and then reward yourself. Identify the habits that are working for you and those that are working against you. Habits are not easy to break and it takes 30 days to master a new habit.'

Bob's advise to the younger generation was, they should know themselves. 'Defining your identity will keep you focused as you later set priorities, organize tasks, deal with emergencies and accomplish challenges in your personal and business lives.'

Bob's stress was on changing with the change. 'Expect to make changes in your life. Those who resist change get nothing in life!'

The concluding point in his presentation was, one should not be thankless. 'Be thankful. Before you can have more out of life, take inventory of your blessings. Practicing thankfulness is about not taking life for granted. If you want more, you will have to give more. Get in the habit of giving more than you take!'

For the learned audience, Bob's presentation was the summary of the great scholar Saadi 's work. 'There was hardly anything new in it. One could find his 'pearls of wisdom' in the work of many historical writers like Gibran, Socrates, Aristotle, Saadi, and even Ghalib and Mir! But it was not boring,' said Arifa Waqar, a student at Quaid-e-Azam University.

Bob has been recognized as Consummate Speaker of The Year 2000 in Sharing Ideas-The International News Magazine. His experience has taken him to international destinations across Canada, US, Europe and Asia. His new book, Up Your Bottom Line featuring the ABC, 123 Sales Results System, was released in May 2001.
