1.0 Peaks & Valleys of Life (ECG)
**********************
Life of everyone is made up of peaks and valleys ….just as peaks and valleys in ECG are a sign of vibrant life …“a straight line in ECG means NO-LIFE” …We should gladly ACCEPT this as a fact of life …which every one has to face .
1.1 Approach of Winners
***********************
The name of the game is to learn how to …effectively use…BOTH periods …
(i) PEAKS ...These are GOOD times …the periods of harvesting of CROP & benefits of
own past GOOD deeds …Our good TSA …helps in increasing the duration and benefits of our peak periods .
(ii)VALLEYS …These are TOUGH times…the periods of preparation & SOWING of SEEDS…great preparations and efforts which yield GREAT results …during future
good times (PEAKS) …Our good TSA…helps in reducing the duration of Valley periods and …training & preparation during this time …helps in MAXIMISING the opportunities during the NEXT peak period.

1.2 Common Pitfalls to be Avoided
*******************************
(i)Peaks …Due to over exuberance …& …arrogance due to success …and our wrong TSA …many of us WASTE the excellent opportunities provided by our peak times …
This syndrome is nicely summarized as …”तपो राज …राजो नरक “…We reach high position in any field based on…तप …sustained efforts …but we mostly squander these gains
(राजो नरक)… by misusing our position and resources…Hence ,one has to be very careful …during peak times… to make best use of opportunities and resources …as per
स्व-धर्म…&…राज -धर्म…for best results …Such prudent approach increases both the duration of peak periods and totality of benefits .
(ii)Valleys…Due to our feeling of being DEPRESSED …and unhappy …lot of time and energy is wasted in …why me ?…blaming others …& blaming situations for our failures …Instead of this .we should accept that we are passing though a ROUGH patch wrt harvesting …and use this period for SOWING SEEDS…&…preparation for next crop… during the next peak.
