I felt their pain as I always do, big softy really, besides, what’s 15p….

So my sister in Law says to him
“Why are you not working, I can give you a job if you want”.

He ignores her and pleads “Please maam, I am very thirsty, can you give me R10 so i can buy a cup of tea” like a robot.

“Let’s go to the tea stand and I will buy you all tea” my sister in law says.

Without a 2nd glance at the tea stand of her, he simply moves on to the next car “Please sir, I am very thirsty, can you give me R10 so i can buy a cup of tea”.

Interesting experience, the family had zero interest in tea, were not thirsting for anything and were simply running a profitable business.

They were not interested in a job offer either, in fact they make more money doing what they were doing than they would working in a job…. interesting.

The danger here was that a part of me was numbed, the feeling sorry part was quickly re educated.

These guys were expert business people for, their craft was their ability to influence naive tourists using body language and emotions, 9/10 would not think twice of dropping even R100 or more into their hands to feel better in themselves….

Made me think there is so much to be said for teaching a man to fish for life rather than giving him a fish for 1 meal x ]]> http://www.thekalpeshpatel.com/begging-or-big-business/feed/ 0 http://www.thekalpeshpatel.com/driving-in-india-x/ http://www.thekalpeshpatel.com/driving-in-india-x/#comments Tue, 24 Jan 2012 11:46:09 +0000 PartnerInSuccess http://www.thekalpeshpatel.com/?p=327 Hi

I just had to share this with you, simply amazing how it all works here.

When driving in India…. Do the opposite of what most countries do…lol

Rule #1 – Break all the Rules

-Despite all the below- Road Rage does NOT exist here.

-Do not use your mirrors if you have kept them for fashion.

-If someone flashes lights it means they are NOT giving you way.

-If they do NOT flash lights it means they are still NOT giving way, he who guesses best survives.

-A beep means they are near you and overtaking you, pushing you out of the way because their car is faster than yours, don’t be offended or upset, smile and let them pass.

-Get as close as you can to ALL moving things and do your best not to hit them, although it’s ok if you do.

-Approach a roundabout fast, do not slow down to get onto it or you will wait all day. People coming onto it have right of way, not the ones on it already.

-Do NOT use indicators as they may confuse everyone.

-Bumping and scraping dogs, cows, buffalo, people, motor bikes, cars or anything smaller than your vehicle including PEOPLE is perfectly acceptable and expected, nobody gets upset or reacts when this happens as long as the damage is not irreparable.

-Driving on the opposite side of the road at 60mph playing chicken with trucks driving towards you is the norm, not even an eyelid is flattered.

-Pedestrians that want to cross the road just GO, do not look left or right, just GO, it’s upto the cars to avoid you if they can, they have to guess when you are going to step into the road.

-If you miss your turn off just STOP, even if in the fast lane, then simply reverse and take your exit.

-Turn right from the left lane, left from the right lane and do U turns on a one-way road or you may cause a crash.

Most of all keep moving, avoid brakes until you arrive at your destination and drive as if the over congested road is empty.

I have tried my best to give you a glimpse but in all honesty it is something you MUST experience to truly appreciate. They say if you can drive in India you can drive anywhere, I say if you can drive anywhere then you can not drive in India… unless you drive in India lol.

I love this place; it’s just amazing how it all works even though it does not.

Ho Ho Ho Ho My Love Spreading friend,

May I sing to you today….Please…….?

Awww Thank you…. Here Goes…

“Tis the season to be KALPESH

Tra La la la la, La la la Laaaa” LOL

Ok, How about this……

“We wish you a Merry Kissmas

We wish you a Merry Kissmas

And a KALPESH New Year ” Da daaaa

I know, it’s a little later than I wanted

and Christmas is over but hey

don’t you feel better after my song?

I know I do

2011 was another wonderful year filled

with the usual Ups and Downs of life.

My question to you today is this…..

Did you stand tall, grow and embrace your

challenges and gifts?

Or

Did you shrink back and “be” defeated,

resigned or frustrated?

Results are a great measuring tool.

Have you used this year to move forward

or does it feel like another year passed by

with little or no progress?

This time last year you made promises to

yourself, did you keep them? Did you

follow up on them, re visit them, track them?

Or Did you do what most do, make them

only to break them, another year passes and

it seems like you just repeated the previous

few other than external changes.

You see, the one thing I know is that LIFE will

happen, it ALWAYS does.

Fight it or love it, it’s always there fresh as a

daisy, waiting to show you to YourSELF.

I have learned over the years that what

happens is not nearly as important as who

you are during that moment it happens in.

Who we ARE BEING will absolutely define

our experience and although we can not

control ALL that happens, we can CHOOSE

how we manage ourselves day by day,

moment by moment.

I have committed to training and teaching

as many people as possible on this planet

the skills i have applied to create magical

results in my life.

I have been consistently pushing new

boundaries, breaking myself up and re

creating myself when life is tough and

reaping the rewards from these SIMPLE

yet effective strategies.

I am always looking to YOU for help me

reach more people.

In 2012 I have many things to look forward to,

opportunities are flowing my way and

i am sharing them with those that want to

reach for the higher branches where the

juiciest fruits are.

Below are a few tips I came across and

adjusted a little to us PREPARE ourselves

for living our greatest lives yet. PRINT IT.

Together we can BE, DO and HAVE more

than any of us will ever achieve as individuals,

so come on, let’s huddle us close and move

with power together towards our DREAM,

GOALS and FUTURES.

Together we are UNSTOPPABLE flames.

Their emotions control them… they have outbursts of anger/ violence/ hatred and vengeance towards loved ones and even strangers.

They justify killing their own kind because they dress/ pray/ live differently and have more/ less melanin in their skin.

They eat excessive junk, drink excessive poisons and smoke cancer sticks knowing it does not serve their bodies, then get fat/ sick, age early and wonder how it all happened.

They spend more than they earn, get into huge debts with no ideas/ plans on how to get out of them and teach their children to do the same.

They laugh at those that attempt to improve their lives and do their best to tear them down.

Then they spend a lifetime blaming and complaining  how life is hard and struggle the whole way through.

They Do nothing about anything that they complain about other than complain more.

They are a Super Intelligent species with super silly habits and actions.

These are the only species on the planet that live this way, if you see parts of YOU above then let’s make a change.

Let’s see if we can share great information and teach ourselves and others a smarter and more fun way to live.

I’m on a mission for transformation and your partnership is massively appreciated in reaching out to more people.

Learning to trust our journey is a huge part of
achieving success.

I have so much to share right now, I feel overwhelmed,
will give you an overview of the many miracles that are
manifesting in my life since the early part of this year.

Before that let me share a little about Friday afternoon.
I was in Waltham Cross and witness the most fascinating
interactions between people.

2 kids approx 11 or 12 years old speaking in cockney
slang something like “I frew ‘I’m daan and punched ‘I’m in
da face lark bang bang bang…”
Translation “I threw him down and punched him in the
face like bang bang bang…”

5 mins later Im in the Percy Ingles bakery and a teen of
15 or 16 walked in behind me bouncing up and down
while shouting on his mobile in a version of the English
language that was so far from the English teachers teach
that it took a few seconds to process it. It was so slang and
funny that the ladies I was with started to giggle just listening
to him and watching his mannerisms. He was with a large
group of teens dressed to impress, i’m not sure who but hey,
i’m told the modern ladies love this look, walk and talk so
who am I to Judge right…

So what’s my point….. well, only a few months ago we saw
our teens take to the streets in an apparent “fight for freedom”.
They burned down buildings all over the UK and the news
said they had a cause, were making a point and fighting for
what they believed in.

Where I’m thrown with this theory is that when I was 11,
throwing fire bombs into buildings where humans slept upstairs
did not even exist on my radar. Throwing bricks at police men
wanting to protect these buildings and the streets was NEVER
a thought.

Imagine they then catch you, take you to court and you not only
get away with it but get compensations for violation of your
HUMAN RIGHTS???

These kids/youths are the people that will be looking after us
when we grow old….. making decisions and choices based on
their own upbringing, experiences and moral compasses. It’s
just fascinating how we are so quick to defend these behaviours
and make excuses.

Imagine if you spoke like you just stepped out of a zoo and went for
a job interview, imagine the boss said “Sorry, we have no use for your
skill set, you speak a different language not recognised by this planet”
…. how dare they, that’s surely language discrimination.

Or they said, “sorry, we don’t employ men whose trousers are hanging
around their knees with boxers on display and a hoodie over their head
on the shop counter”…. WHAT? Thats has to be Premature Unfair dismisal.

Anyway, I just needed to share this rant to express this.

Our youths DO have a say. My nephew and nieces have been
taught from a young age what actions are condusive to success,
contribution, making a difference, adding value and getting ahead.

Many “talks” have happened in many occasions to drive these points
home. Points on “actions have consequences”, “winners think
differently to whiners”, “think 1st”, “Treat others better than you’d like
to be treated”, “care for your fellow human beings”, etc…

I do hope we can all take a moment to think and see where we can
reach out and make a difference, however big or small.

Please share some of your stories so I can put them on my files
or even share them on my site if you want them shared.

I love to hear who is doing what.

Also, if you have an in with a school, college, university, prison etc
where you think I could add value please do get in touch, together
we CAN make a difference x

Love Kalpesh x

They love unconditionally,
They forgive instantly,
They learn constantly,
They move purposefully,
They play enthusiastically,
They rest peacefully,
They sleep gracefully,
The awake instantly,
They smile passionately,
They express effortlessly,
They give abundantly,
They scream loudly,
They thank gratefully,
They explore fearlessly,
They trust easily,
They adapt fluidly,
They give openly,
They receive with open arms,
They live innocently,

They believe anything is possible….
and then…..

We “Grow Up” and forget
everything worth knowing.
Get your LIFE back,
Remember who you are x
