The Habit of Winning by Prakash Iyer

THE HABIT OF WINNING - STORIES TO INSPIRE, MOTIVATE AND UNLEASH THE WINNER WITHIN 
 BY PRAKASH IYER

Motivation, positive attitudes and self beliefs together mold the success of individuals. Prakash Iyer's Habit of Winning does not show the path to success, instead it shows one how to travel in the path towards success. 

For this purpose, he has used the life stories of many achievers in diverse fields as evidence. Not only has he mentioned famous figures, but he has also cited examples of ordinary people. Success cannot be confined to a single aspect; it has many dimensions. This is the concept he delivers in each one of his stories. He has also written about goal planning, which is a crucial element for success. The Habit of Winning has made use of many interesting anecdotes throughout.

Prakash Iyer has also included incidents from his personal and professional lives. Perception is an important factor which influences our attitude; he has illustrated this point in different ways. He also emphasizes the fact that strong determination and guts, along with a positive attitude can help everyone accomplish their goals in life. Using Rohit Sharma as an example, he has shown how a person can overcome mental barriers that inhibit our success.

The various examples he has mentioned include cricketers such as Suresh Raina, Robin Utthapa, Navjot Singh Sidhu and Anil Kumble. In addition, he has also talked about what we can learn from the nature of animals such as cows and dogs. He has used the analogy of a caterpillar's struggle to break out of the cocoon and emerge as a butterfly. 

Key Features

  • His reference to famous individuals and how they fought the battles of their life is highly inspirational.
  • The Habit of Winning explains the key to success with proven examples from various people's lives who have achieved their goals with persistent motivation.
Few examples are given below.

Don’t change your rabbit

There are many rabbits running around you but if you try to chase all of them then you will end up with nothing. There are many opportunities to grab, many businesses to start but focus on one thing.  Even if you fail, change your tactics and strategies but don’t change your goals.

Focus and persistence are key ingredients for success.

Lesson : Identify rabbit you want to catch and focus only on that one. If you try and catch them all, you may end up with none. If the rabbit proves elusive change your tactics but don’t change the rabbit.

Break your mental barrier

In the 1950’s athletics, it was believed that human can not run a mile within 4 minutes. At that time the highest record of running was of 4 minutes & 1.4 seconds which was created in 1945 by Gunder Hegg & lasted for several years. Doctors believed that no human body can break this record without having significant damage to body.

This 4-minute barrier continued until 1954 when Roger Bannister ran a mile in 3 minutes and 59.4 seconds. By the end of 1957, 16 other runners had broken the record & Doctors believed that no human body can break this record without having significant damage to body.

 What was happened? Have their bodies grown stronger. Actually not.

What happened is that Roger not only broken the record but also broke the self
limiting belief that no human can run a mile within 4 minutes. After breaking this
barrier in mind other16 athelete’s also ran and broke the record.

We all are like this. We carry our own self-limiting beliefs and never rise above that
belief. We restrict our actions as well. So, what are your 4-minute barriers?

Lesson: If you think you can, you can. If you think you can’t, you are right!

The reasons for not having a high vibration could be:      Fatigue      Fear      Nervous tension.      Rage      Hate And so......we have to vibrate high so that the frequency does not lower our immune system.
