Taming Minds...

-
We know it's all in the mind. And we have also been told how we use just one per cent of our mind as compared to a genius like Einstein who is said to have used 10 per cent of his brain to develop path-breaking theories in physics. Yet, it is always difficult to broach the subject of promotion with the boss. An approaching maths exam can give you sleepless nights just as much as the final cricket match with the big rivals.

It is this gap between knowing and yet not knowing that has spawned the new field of mind training. Professional mind trainers are making a quick buck taming the chaos, confusion and cowardice of the mind so that it can focus on the right things, mostly success.

(ಇದು ನನ್ನ ಶಾಲೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಪದ್ಯವಾಗಿತ್ತು.  ಒಬ್ಬ ಆಂಗ್ಲ ಕವಿಯ ಕವಿತೆಯ  ಅನುವಾದ ಇರಬೇಕು ಎಂಬ ಅಸ್ಪಷ್ಟ ನೆನಪು)
