The Superbkids and Superbteens camp was rocking and I had a fun time with the Coaches, A Coaches and ofcourse all the participants. I must thank all the parents of these participant for having the belief and trust in me and all my trainers and Coaches.
These kids walked out as Champions. Hats off to the entire team at UAE, to have made this happen. I think this is one of the best arranged camps that I know of. Like I say many times, what we see outside in the training is just the tip of the ice berg and many things happen for the training to go well and my team at UAE really made it happen. Thanks guys! I am back again soon for another exciting event.
There was a lot of connection from day 1 of the camp with the participants and never did I feel that I was meeting them for the first time.
It was so much fun with them. And the A Coaches. Wow! what energy they had and they did all sorts of gimmicks. Every day morning we had a great energetic warm up session with some running, dancing and the Program Director Hassan came up with some exciting dance movements. Kids loved it and so did I. I joined every day for the warm up and realized that I have an amazing stamina just like the kids 
Check out this head stand by one of the A Coaches. They also did some hand stand and I did not go near that. Obviously did not want to break my hands
The COACHES as always were the guiding force for this amazing camp. Lead by Hassan the Program Director, Geetha, Abdul Ghani, Swapna, Divya, Pragna, Padma, Sanjay and Abhayan, Dittin and Ramesh from OnlySuccess did a fantastic job connecting with the participants all the time and delivering the best for them. It was unforgettable moments especially when the coaches comepte with each other that theirs is the best team. Super fun it was for me and this camp I was also assisted by Sam (kids loved him)
One of the participants called me the Funniest Person ever. I love it when kids call me that way and that’s been my dream always to have fun with them and one of the mentioned i am the encyclopedia. Well not sure if thats really true but atleast in front of them I cant really say “I don’t know” something especially when they are not supposed to use that phrase (Its a banned phrase for the Superbkids/superbteens participants)
Check out the complete video of the Camp here…
Must be wondering how come I cry for exams being a trainer at OnlySuccess Learning Technologies. You know I too passed on that stage in life when I was hating exams for the simple reason that I was not good at 1 or 2 subjects So had to work hard on them to score the topper in class. (I did manage it a few times).
I decided to write this post wishing all my participants of Superbkids/Superbteens especially the ones appearing for the finals (boards start today for a few and this week for the rest). I was wondering how was I during my days. hehe.. Hey I am not giving any advices cos I know you guys must be getting loads of them from parents, teachers and all others…(mind you they are important. so better follow them)
I was talking to my cousin y’day who is in grade 10 and said just relax and be cool. And he was like “Hello you are sitting in Dubai and askin’ me to be cool, you must be writing then you know”. How true. But I don’t I ever on the day of exam was tensed or worked up for the simple reason that I could not do much about it on that day.
I remember once when I was having an exam, I was thinking and my mom and sister were so excited that I was actually thinking about the exam and they said don’t worry you will do well and the fact was that I was thinking what should I wear for the exam and if it will be warm or hot or cold in the exam hall. They were actually not surprised because they know me well. But thats equally important. One thing I believed is that once your preparations are over, the enviorment has to support you so better be prepared with the right set of clothes. I dont have a lucky pen but I do have a comofortable pen something I use which makes me write neat and fast.
One major challenge I had was my presentation, good that you are not able to see how well I write. If apple saw my writing they would have named a font after my hand writing called “Scribble” hehe. But then I used to make a conscious effort to make it neat. So I always write the questions I know well so that my presentation can take time and also the examiner will be impressed. Many times I have seen, if the examiner believes that you are good the your silly mistakes also are gone unnoticed. Enticing the examiner by writing properly is something I always did.
The most funny thing that happened once was when I was in college. I never open the book after reaching the exam hall. Will not be of much help but once it so happened that I had a small clarification and I checked the same with my friend and the same answer was in the question paper and that’s when my friend had a superstition that if Praveen reads an answer the same will be asked in the exam paper as well. This happened some 2 or 3 times strengthening his belief. But little did he know that I don’t do this always. I never believed in studying till the last minute. Never helps actually.
The mindset works wonders and thats always helped me. Yes I have studied well and I will do things just perfectly is the useful attitude and mindset.
Anyways to all my friends out there working hard for the exams, chill, be cool and have lotsa fun!
2 weeks back I had an chat show at Hello FM. Was fun and frolic for many reasons. I know the team at Hello FM and the RJ Kaushi was at her usual best. Great energy and enthusiasm always to make the show as interesting as possible.
The last time I did a show with her was during my Phobia Cure event and this show was very different.
That’s Kaushi the RJ and myself at the Radio Stations (the headphones were rocking. amazing ones.. hehe..)
In fact I always wondered how Kaushi every day woke up in the morning and was on time for the morning show. She just cant afford to be late. And I feel that its passion, interest and commitment that really drives her? Kaushi am I right? If everyone has this life becomes even more easy.
We had many listeners dial in and ask me questions which I was answering and helping them. Guess I did a good job and I did make some sense out of it.Many interesting questions and few were easy to answer, because I face them often and few important ones that gave a thought to every single listener. I thoroughly enjoyed my 2+ hours in the morning interacting with people there.
On my request the radio station recorded the entire show and here is the my entire discussion with people who called in. You can listen it in here. Its in 3 parts for you to load them easily.

Last month we were all in heights of energy and motivation in the Born To Win training program. Fun, Frolic and excitement and much more. And on the 3rd day night when I was about to retire to bed preparing myself for the next day, I got an SMS. phew!
I no longer could lie down on the bed and just jumped out it. The Message was from Vidya (Vidyashankar, CEO OnlySuccess, www.vidyashankar.net) read “Shall we target to finish the You are Born To Win book by Novemeber”. I was taken aback and said I replied “This year?” and Vidya said we’ll burn the boat tomorrow when we tell the participants about how to make Goals a Must! So it happened on stage.
We burnt the boat and did take the 36 hr action plan, finished our 3 actions items. Emailed the Publisher on their keeness in publishing the book, the Table of Contents is ready and we did a Video announcing to everyone about the release of the book.
So watch it here and as I have requested in the video, do send us emails to borntowin@onlysuccess.net
