INTELLIGENCE is being aware and spontaneous. When you are deeply aware, you cannot make mistakes. With awareness, you don't rely on the past conditioning that has gone inside you for many years. With deep awareness you are in the present moment, alive and alert. Being Aware Your intelligence but its very nature is spontaneous. It is only a question of awakening from within.

The first step is to watch yourself and see how you unconsciously react to situations. See how your actions are rooted in your attitudes and conclusions from past experiences. Watching yourself with awareness is first step. The good news about awareness is - it is the only step that is needed.

Most of the time, we continue to live in the dead past and miss the wonderful dimensions of life. Or we get angry over what has happened and feel hurt. Or we blindly follow other people's directions instead of relying on our own intelligence, because it is easy to place responsibility and intelligence.

You say you are being obedient, but you are actually shirking the responsibility of owing up to your actions. It is always easy to put the blame on the whole world for what happened in your life. But if you just look a little deeper; you can see how you are completely responsible for what is happening in your life.

We do many things unconsciously because we do not live every moment with awareness and take responsibility for our words and actions. Then, when the effects of these actions happen, we claim we don't deserve the results, if you just look with deep awareness, energy of intelligence - which is enough to bring about the solution to your problems.

The very awareness is enough to break free from the past conditioning and act intelligently. This awareness will simply kindle the spark of intelligence that has always been a part of you. The whole key lies in being aware so that your intelligence can function.

Acting out of your own intelligence is taking complete responsibility for what you do at all time. Follow your intelligence with the clear understanding that you alone are responsible for your actions. Then you will not hurt anyone including yourself. The light of awareness is enough to remove the darkness created by years of living by habit.

One day, Wal-Mart's Sales Manager went to see Sam Walton in the hospital. The moment he saw the sales manager, he asked him "How is the sales? Have you achieved your target?" Five days later he passed away. Sam Walton, Founder of Wal-Mart was the person who showed the power of retail to the modern world.

He was having a small store, Ben Franklin franchise in Newport, Ark. It took nearly five years for him to taste the profit. That was his first store. Unfortunately, Sam was sick and sold his store. "I had built the best variety store in the whole region and worked hard in the community done everything right and now I was being forced to leave town."

He didn't do well on his misfortune. Instead of that he bought a new store. "I had to pick myself up and get on with it, do it all over again, only even better this time," That new store was start of what became the biggest retailer in the world - Wal-mart Stores Inc.

Walton's will to turn setbacks into Opportunities was just one of the secrets behind the building the building of his venture, which reached the $100 billion annual-sales mark in 1997. In five years, that number more than doubled to $218 billion. In 1999 with 1,140,000 associates, Wal-Mart became a largest private employer in the world.

Secrets of Sam Walton's Magic:

• Keep trying to improve: " If you ask Sam,' how is business?' he's never satisfied," said Bernie Marcus, Co-founder of Home depot, Made in America. In 1966, Walton had five Wal-Mart stores in tiny towns, and they were doing a booming $10 million in annual sales. But he kept looking for ways to improve and expand his business and make it more Efficient. That early emphasis on technology turned out to be one of the keys to Wal-Mart's huge expansion.
  His constant quest for improvement and growth also led him to create Wal-Mart Supercenters, and Sam's Club warehouse stores.

• Learn from the Competitors: Walton was relentless about scrutinizing competition. He'd walk into Kmart with yellow legal pad or tape recorder, quizzing clerks about what & how much they ordered. But he didn't study rivals just so he could under price them. He allowed himself to learn more about competitor & business tactics.
  
  "Everyone is doing something right". "We're really not concerned with what (competitors) are doing wrong; we're concerned with what they are doing right," Sam told managers.

• Do thing your own way: Although you should learn from competitors, don't follow them blindly, Walton advised, "Ignore the conventional wisdom," he said. "If everybody else is doing it one way, there's a good chance you can find your niche by going in exactly the opposite direction.
  
  "But be prepared for a lot of folks to wave you down and tell you you're headed the wrong way."
  
  Walton ignored the conventional wisdom during his time that town with populations fewer than 50,000 couldn't support a discount store for too long. Big retailer like target and Kmart ignored these towns. That let Wal-Mart grow for years without competition from any giant national discounters.

• Lighten Up: Walton took his business seriously, but he wasn't afraid to laugh at himself. A little fun once in a while also kept customer, Associates and shareholders happy.
  
  For example to keep managers from revolting against his required Saturday morning meetings, he'd try to make them fun. Sometimes he'd have surprise visitors. Another time he had an executive sing "Red River Valley." The tactic worked he kept manager's interest, and business still got done. "Loosen up, and everybody around you will loosen up," So "have fun. Show enthusiasm - Always".

• Do what you Love: Showing enthusiasm is easy if you love your work. And Walton loved retailing. "I really like to pick an item maybe the most basic merchandise and then call attention to it," he says that "We would buy huge quantities of something and dramatize it. We used to say you could sell anything if you hung it from the ceiling." Because Walton loved his work, long hours weren't drudgery. He often started his day at the office at 4.30 am when his family travelled on vacations, he insisted on stopping at all the local discount stores, so he could see what they were up to.

"If you love your work, you'll be out there every day trying to do it the best you possibly can, and pretty soon everybody around will catch the passion from you like a fever."
