Simple Choice of Life - Engage or Run Like An Ass !



For months, an army man trains. With weapons and backpacks. Without them. In deserts and in mountains. In rain, sun and snow. They do so, to be able to defeat their enemy when they are attacked and live to tell the tale of bravery, It is not by mere training that they defeat their enemy, they do so by a choice they make when they are attacked. And what they tell themselves constantly while they train.

They have a choice to Engage or Run. When they run, most of the time they are shot at and they become victims (though this is not an eventuality as Indian Army is not trained to retreat) but when they choose to Engage, they increase their chances of living

This is the very choice we civilians face when we encounter malicious intent/action in daily life. We can either choose to run or to engage. Most of the times we run or find ways to run. And hence most of the times you become victims. So now, I can confidently say - You Choose To Be A Victim.

We face these malicious intent/actions on a daily basis. Just different degree. While getting onto a bus, you are pushed aside by one who is attacking your place on that ride. Now you might be saying its not that aggressive after all. Its just a place on the bus. Yeh Sure ! Its RED for the traffic and you begin to cross the road as its your GREEN but a cab guy wants to break that signal and almost drives onto your foot. You let him go with a few words of wisdom. Or you are at a review at your workplace and your colleague answers a critical question with an answer that you shared with him over a coffee just last eve. This could cost you your promotion.

Now out of the 3 situations - Bus, Cab & Colleague - the malicious intent of your colleague has hit you most. While it is not life threatening, it still is. You got hit by a soft toy (office politics) coz you refused to learn from the hard toys (bus/cab).

So now lets talk about Engagement with the enemy. Your enemy is everywhere. Only the degree of the enmity differs. Women have an enemy in every man. As they have not learnt the art of identifying their attacker before they become a victim.

And if you are living your life thinking you will not get effected by the constant war around you, you are in a state of hallucination. You NEED tactical life skills to get ahead in your life. A decade back there used to be 300 applicants for a single job. Today its over 3000. So if you think your employer can't find someone better than you - Hallucination.

So, cutting the long story short, YOU need Tactical Life Skills. Your Work Force needs Tactical Life Skills. Give this to yourself and your workforce and sit back to watch the magic unfold for you and your yearly targets.

A mind that is in denial, will never yield results for itself and for those who hire it.

War has Been Declared. You Have Less or No Time To Prepare !

If you judge this article by its title, you will for sure lose a chance to gain some critical info that can......

War has been declared. You have less or no time to prepare. You can choose to be a civil casualty or a fierce commando who will destroy his enemies and secure his people. This write up is for those who wish to become commando's.

The War

War has been declared. Not today, not yesterday but the day you graduated and an outdated empty gun (degree) was put in your hands to go fight the world outside and earn your daily bread. This gun was neither outdated nor empty when it was commissioned a century back. Back then very few had it. And the mere sight of it commanded respect from fellows. Some used to frame this gun onto their walls as a trophy of pride. But over the years, these trophies have vanished from the walls. Not because they are not trophies any more but because 10 out of 9 of your neighbors have it. Its no more a priced possession.  

The worst, these guns today come empty. And I say this as 90% MBA's and >60% graduates are not fit for a job (war). They have learnt NOTHING that can help any company fight their competition. These soldies are as useless as the outdated guns.

More You Sweat In Practice - Less You Bleed In War

Practice - makes a man/woman perfect. This is the biggest BULLSHIT you've been taught. Specially if your practice is not even 10% as hard as real war, you bloody playing a shooting game to prepare for real war. And guess what happens ? ?  You become INVALID. 

Look at this pic below very carefully. Notice every single weapon this commando is carrying on him and (without cheating and looking at the answer) guess the most deadliest weapon out of them all ! 




Not the night vision, not the automatic, not the flash bang or the fragment, not the secondary weapon. Nothing made of steel but yet made as strong as steel. It can bend to any degree without breaking. It can take any amount of pressure. It is mankind's greatest weapon that was gifted to him by the creator. 

The Mind


It doesn't matter how many enemies you shot down in a video game. The first time you fire in real life, your shoulder will hurt. There is a mini blast 6 inches from your face and you cannot close your eyes coz you will lose sight of the next opportunity. You will not know where it runs to hide. A commando is made of his mind. Not his weapons. The same way a successful man/woman is made of his/her mind and not their degrees. 

But your training happens in an AC classroom playing video games (theory exams). And when you get out of the paradise you see the real war and real casualties (depression, suicides). And this scares you. Or worse, make you immune and ignore. 

It is beyond a doubt that the education system is outdated. And so are the guns. It will take many more years for the high command to realize this and take some serious action. Or maybe they do realize this and don't want to take action. Sometimes, the command is scared to build an army of commandos as they could turn against the command when the command is corrupt. But this is just a speculation.

Building The Mind - Tactical Life Skills (TLS)

The mind is purely built and enforced by pressure. And this pressure is created by circumstances and people around us. Using controlled pressure, the mind and body can be built to work in synergy and deliver optimum performance. This explains why most Israeli youth are so strong mentally and physically. But they are so due to their choice of growing through the army after they get out of high school. An option that will be a dream in India. 

This controlled pressure is created when you train in Tactical Life Skills. While many not so worthy trainers claim to teach life skills, the use of their vocabulary exposes their mastery in the subject. They call it Life Skills 'Training' and they do it in a class room. 

I call it Tactical as your ability to think rational when you are under pressure is what will build your mind into a dependable force. Tactical also refers to the ability of the mind to create solutions on the go to challenges that are critical and/or life threatening. For eg. You are attacked by a criminal while on your way home. Or your cab driver reveals his malicious intent or your colleague you've trusted all this while has cornered you into a no retreat situation (happens in most rape cases). 

Tactical Life Skills also build you to take on work pressure. Meeting targets, fierce competition both in the company and against another. It is a skill set that is guaranteed to change the playing field for those who recognize the value and role of it. Such skills are built into the curriculum of the Armed Forces and hence they find it moronic to hear their civilian friends talk about work pressure sitting on a comfortable ergonomic chair in an AC cabin and beverage vending machines around. 

Imagine if you can train your mind to be as hard as theirs. You will experience a mental condition that most people believe is a myth. 

A Fearless Mind

I can understand how difficult it is for you to believe that it is possible for a civilian to achieve this state of mind without going through military grade training. You don't believe because you have not experienced it YET. But when you have, such a feeling is as addictive as cocaine. Being in a state of NO FEAR is an intoxication in itself. Something I experienced during my Counter Terrorism Training in Israel. I realized it was a tough job to die. I did things I believed that would get me killed and I live to tell the tale. Tactical Life Skills are for those who are frustrated living a feared life. Fear of physical, mental, emotional and financial insecurities. TLS is for those who don't want to be civilian casualties in this war of being the best they can be. 

In fact, the real war is much better because you know your company will bring you back wounded. In the corporate - You Are FIRED ! 

I Dare You 

I dare you to a session of tactical life skills. Don't ask for a DEMO. This is not a video game. You'll need some courage to blindly enroll into this program and trust your instincts. 
There is nothing you can lose. And when you have nothing to lose, you have nothing to fear !

Mail us - How desperate you are to break your stereotype fearful life and we'll send you what to do next !

Most of you won't bother to mail us. Some of you will. And this explains why a small percentage of people don't let their ego and inhibitions stop them from becoming massively successful.

The War Has Been Declared. You Have Less or NO Time To Prepare ! 

Remember - There can be a Terrorist attack any moment around you. And if you expecting the terrorist to be a man carrying a gun or an IED, you are bound to be the victim. A terrorist can also be a 'Situation' you have not predicted and are not prepared for.
