Good Morning and May the day turns out to be one of the best for you!!!
Yesterday someone asked me :- How can you stay Positive all the time and so charged up?
I would really like to share this with all of you, the reason why I Stay positive and fully charged up every morning is because of YOU, Yes you read it right its because of you people.
Every Morning when I wake up, I am happy for the most simple reason that God gave me another day to Enjoy, I always say it you never know what’s going to happen in Future what you have with you is a Present called Today – Live it up!!
You think your life has problems, well Look around whose Life is perfect, just because someone is smiling doesn’t mean his/her life is perfect.
Every Morning when I enter My office and the Guards at the entrance Stands and smiles and wishes Good Morning, That’s the start of a great day – Is there life problem free? I Doubt that so if they can still manage to Give a smile why can’t You!!
But I am also Human by the end of the day I am also frustrated because of things and I also feel my life has problems, and its when You guys play the most important role in my LIFE… Being there with me!! No mater how bad the day is, the happiness I get when I meet my friends in evening just refreshes me and charge me all over again And when I see problems around me , my own problems looks really small!!
1 Golden Rule – Do what your heart says, Be adjusting but don’t compromise and never ever go against your principles!!
If you really want do something just do it and that involves choosing your career , just give it a shot, take a risk – trust me your Well wishers , family and your best buddies will always be there to catch you even if you fall but don’t stop yourself From Flying if you really want to!!!
No Job in the world is problem free, every thing comes with pros and cons – even America’s President face problems!! You think Govt. jobs are fun ask your elders what all they have been through to get there where you see them now. If you really really want do something – trust me its never too late to pursue your PASSION!!! It might not pay you much but the satisfaction that you’ll get when you do something from your heart is beyond compare. Yeh mat socho ki koyi kya kahega, kya sochega – Its your Life and Your Journey – Live it up!!
I received a SMS yesterday that goes like this “Bina libaas aaye the hum iss Jahaan mein… Bus ek kafan ki khatir itna safar kiye ja rahe hain” Nice message and I agree Life is a journey from Birth to Death but what matters is what Little extra you did in between, how will people remember you? And you can’t escape this journey so if you have to travel why not just Enjoy it!!!
This article is dedicated to All my friends who are working now or have just started their career and to all my friends who are in the final years of their College life an will soon be market ready!!
With just 4 months of experience in a Telecom company and 1 week in an IT company, many of you will say i am no one to write this , in that case take this article about the ATTITUDE with which i want to start my career.
Your immediate response will be “Spend a few months in this industry and then we’ll see whether you crib {complain} or not!!” or “Every organisation is not the same, maybe you are lucky”
Well guys to start with why is it that we have no end to Expectations, i understand that we all should have expectations from our life, our organisations, our managers but does that mean nothing in this world meets your expectations..
I mean you enter a new place and start complaining that they don’t pay well, they don’t have good chairs or good infrastructure, they didn’t ask me what field i am interested in or on what platform we want to work on.
Tell me something, When you entered that organisation, who pushed you in, wasn’t it your choice.. And if you are not happy what are you still doing there???
I am not saying LIFE is perfect and why should it be , If its perfect then its not reality and i am sure you’ll agree with me when i say everything that happens in our life is because of the choices that we make…
For Instance :- Your colleague asks you to take a break and to go out for some fun at a time when you are supposed to be in office and you say Yes, When you come back and your Manager kicks you out {i am sure he wont do that!!!} then who’s responsible for it Your colleague or YOU!!!
Obviously Yours because you made that choice…
IAM RESPONSIBLE…
FOR WHO I AM…
FOR WHAT I DO….
FOR WHAT I HAVE….
So when its all your choice then why crib about the consequences, Why blame others for it.
But not everything is in your control and that you should be happy about everything. NO, you can criticize too and give your opinion but don’t just dig problems and bug everyone in the organisation they are already loaded with lots of them, search for a SOLUTION!!!
Tell me what is the difference between you and 1000’s of other Engineers who pass out every year.. Nothing, So before you ask for more reach a point where you can be differentiated with those 1000’s of other Engineers…
“IT IS THE ATTITUDE WHICH DECIDES THE ALTITUDE OF CAREER NOT JUST YOUR KNOWLEDGE”
The road to SUCCESS —
Have a positive Attitude – start your day with a smile {Hope my Good morning SMS brings a lil smile on your Face}
Time management
Don’t forget your values
Have a clear mission for life
Control your reaction – remember you can’t stop events to occur in your life what you can control is your Reaction in those events which will determine the outcome…
Don’t loose out on LIFE.
The last point goes out to those friends who are over busy with their professional life that they don’t even have time for Family and Friends… Remember Life is like that Race we used to have when we were very young, in which we had to run with a spoon in our mouth containing A marble stone..
If the stone falls there’s no point of coming First!!!
Hope you understand what i wanted to say!!!
REMEMBER – ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS , HAPPENS BECAUSE YOU MADE A CHOICE… ITS YOUR LIFE AND NO BODY CAN FORCE YOU TO DO WHAT YOU DON’T WANT TO!! THE DAY YOU SAY “WHAT THE FUCK AM I DOING HERE IN THIS PLACE” or ON A MONDAY MORNING “DAMM.. ITS MONDAY AGAIN” THAN TRUST ME FRIENDS ITS TIME TO PUT DOWN YOUR PAPERS AND SAY “SAYONARA”
P.s:- I hope i can meet my expectations and can carry on with this attitude towards SUCCESS!!!
When i say, I am a person who can live alone trust me i really can do that, because even if i have no one around me, I have someone always with me and that’s my thoughts… Yes those thoughts that fuels this and my other blogs…
Now where do these thoughts come from, the credit goes to you, yes you and all the other people who are around me. Observing people around me gives me the reason to write…
A man spitting on roads, a kid begging for something at a signal, a govt. employee running away from his duties, our politicians and the state of our nation are not only the reasons that pump me to write but also the small small things that happen around me…
Its true that not all individuals think on the same lines but after observing and living closely with a few people in my life, I sometimes wonder am i crazy to think with such a broad view point or the people are creating small boundaries around it…
We call Mahatma Gandhi – the father of nation but has the world forgotten the teachings of their father…
We run after his materialistic belongings but are slowly forgetting what ideals he gave us…
I have laughed upon when i bought a small car piece of our National flag and placed it on the dashboard of my car.
When terrorists attacked Mumbai i didn’t sleep till the operation got over and was following it on TV and twittering second – by – second about the events for the rest of the cyber world while some of us were not even bothered about what was going on in our own country as if their world is limited to their house and the people in it.
How can people think from such a narrow perspective, forget this events of national importance lets talk about some things that are related to the people around us…
People tell my why do i talk to and care about and connect with every person i meet, tell me whats wrong in being nice to people and talking to them, who made the rule that be nice to those who are nice to you..
My friends tell me why do you initiate something if the other person needs something he/she will come to you.. Come’on guys don’t you think God wants us to help each other.. “Pehle wo, pehle aap, pehle kaun” how does it matter..
They say people just use me and they don’t really care about you… Don’t you think i am brains and heart to realize that, of course i know who cares for me and who doesn’t but still i refuse to change. So what if they use me, I am glad i am of use for someone… That is the whole purpose of existence on this earth to be of help to others…
They say, “people insult you and you still give them a chance if i would have been at your place I would have never spoken to them or i would have given them a slap” come on do it that is what our great father of nation wanted, someone says something and you hit them back, someone hits you and you should hit double of that…
Why can’t this world understand “an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.”
Ok i understand we should not give any one the right to insult us but if they do so and realize their mistake and apologize truly then i feel they should be forgiven because after all “galti karne wale se us galti ko maaf karne wala badha hota hai” and what will you get by hitting them back or by taking revenge just a moment of happiness and an enemy for a lifetime. Don’t you think its better to make the other person realize that where he/she went wrong and if they learn a lesson and change and feel sorry, i mean that’s the greatest thing because you managed to change the heart of a person..
when a person is unnecessarily angry and is shouting on you, you can do two things :-
1> start shouting back and take the situation out of control and make it more complex.
2> stay calm let the other person shout and relax, give him/her some water to chill down and trust me he/she will realize his/her mistake and will be really sorry but you know what you gained from it >
RESPECT and Honour by staying calm..
So what you someone insulted you for a moment when they were angry over something else , if you shout back and react then what is the difference between that person and you…
Stay calm and you’ll get respect…
But seriously sometimes i really think where is this world heading to, and till when i can preserve these ideals in me…
You can all say that i am wrong or crazy but this is how i am and this is what i believe in and this is the path I’ll follow…
Barack Obama created history on Tuesday when he became the first black man to be elected president of the United States of America and the first person that comes to my mind when i hear about obama is David Palmer who is a fictional President of the United States played by Dennis Haysbert as part of the television series, 24.
Like him obama also represents freedom,truth and a change… Being a geek it was really fascinating to see obama’s online presence he used almost all popular mediums to attract the votors…
His political campaign was like watching a celebrity show and i gues now even politics has a new icon…
Whatever it was it worked!!! He really did it… Congratulations Mr. President , i hope the change you brought by getting elected will be reflected in what you do and the decisions you take..
All the Best!
Will.i.am from the Black Eyed Peas put together this amazing representation of Obama’s inspiring “Yes we can” speech.Check it out!
A few days ago i posted an article by my future boss Vineet Nayar { CEO – HCL Technologies Ltd} where he showed the silver lining of this recession phase and now when every country is working on the bailout packages and there’s a bit of stability in the economy here’s another great post by him about the Lessons from the meltdown >
·Courage to walk away: The very first learning that emerged from what is now being termed as a financial Armageddon was the need for courage: The courage to carve your own path and walk away from the herd. We in India were born with this lesson as we gained independence with ‘non-violence’ in an era of World Wars. In the US financial world, we saw Warren Buffet display the courage to walk away. Back in 2002, when companies began toying with exotic derivative instruments, Warren Buffet termed derivatives ‘financial weapons of mass destruction.’ Few listened to him then but today he stands out as the voice of sanity.
·Save it for a rainy day: The second lesson is the forgotten power of savings. The ‘savings mentality’ has always been a hallmark of the Asian culture. India, for one, has always had a high rate of savings – a phenomenon that is getting eroded with a new culture of consumerism sweeping across our cities today. Interestingly, America, which is home to 5% of the world’s population, accounted for 30% of global production and 37% of global consumption during boom times! On an individual level in the recent crisis, the ninja loans reflect this mentality, but collectively it made the entire country vulnerable to risk. And there were those who saw the warning signals.
In 2005, when the times were good, economists Paul Volcker and Clyde Prestowitz, pointed out that America was vulnerable due to all the leveraging, and predicted that a financial crisis could soon hit its shores. This has come true and – be it at a macro level or a micro level – it highlights a forgotten lesson on the power of savings and that that we should leverage only to the extent we can afford to service our debt. Its time for a “back to basics” approach, old fashioned as it may seen. Save and plough back in good times, and not fritter liquid assets away.
