Be careful about when you press “Fire” November 7, 2009

There are many things, which you “fire” once will never come back or stop from making the damage. Words, actions, orders, flight takeoff just about anything that has “no point of return”.

Missile once launched cannot be put back onto the launch pad. Words once spoken cannot be put back into mouth. Similarly, many actions including deciding & passing the “point of return” can never be undone. Once you nearing the end of the runway, you must press “Take Off” else there is no point of return and you can’t risk stopping the plane in the end of the runway.

My Advice:

Effective self discipline and management involves identifying the “points of return”. Carefully trespassing them, so you don’t cry when you cross them. Be careful when you press “Fire” next time.

Are you fashion? March 5, 2007

Who says that he doesn’t like the fashion? Fashion is everywhere. There is fashion of wearing different clothes, there is fashion in speaking English, in reading books, blogging on net, making friends, eating food, singing song, walking alone, working late hours, using phone, missing your loved ones. There is fashion in everything I see; fashion is not doing something different. Fashion is doing what other people do.

Because only change is constant, so fashion must change. Does change brings about fashion or fashion brings about the change? Think anyway, but ‘the change’ must remains. Why adopt new fashion? You must change because of the repetitive same. Repetitions bring monotony, and monotony bores you to death. When the element of monotony touches you, you start to feel bore. Do something different to escape the monotony? Yes, tonight eat something different; tomorrow wear some different color clothes, while returning home smile to your bus mates. This will give you relief from eating the same food, from wearing the same clothes, from same boring bus mates.

Of all hundred things, one thing I must say. Change yourself, but don’t ever change the force inside you.

I have known many people which are reluctant to change; from where they have got this inability? I do not understand. But they must change. They are the one who says they don’t like fashion, and fashion is a bad thing for all. But fashion is everywhere, in this blog post and the comment you are going to make

To get love is to lie… February 13, 2007

First it was a just a day, then it became week, now it is a whole month. Yes, my dear friends, ‘February’ is now termed as the ‘The Month of love’. Now, not for an hour, or day, or a week, but you have to make up various excuses to silly people, that too whole of the month, to justify why don’t you have a girl friend. Anyway, it is not the subject matter of this post.

The inspiration behind this post is a TV serial ‘Just Mohabbat’ (in Hindi, means ‘Just love’ in English) which is almost 7-8 years old. But hopefully in order to celebrate this love month, POGO channel is telecasting all of its episodes once again. When I was kid, it was my favorite TV serial which I used to watch with a lot of fervor (and emotions, feelings blah blah you understand child’s foolishness). I saw one episode in which the leading character lies to get some love. This got my attention. Is it just to lie to get love? I did a lot of introspection on that…

I have lied a many times, ok, to get love… I have lied to my teacher that project is made by me (when I copied it from internet), I lied to my mom that foodstuff is made by me for her (when I originally ordered it from the neighborhood restaurant), I have lied to many girls that I go to gym in the morning (I miserably failed at convincing them when they saw my biceps which are not even the size of a straw), I lied to my neighbor that I don’t know about his dog, when actually it was me who took the dog out of the village and left him there only (you know he was used to bark at night), I mean innumerable times I have did this. Ok enough of jokes; I want a serious viewpoint on this.

There are two viewpoints to this. 1) What if someone lies to get your love? Will you forgive him? 2) Have you ever lied to get someone’s love? (Don’t be narrow minded, love can be of anyone). You should forget the one who have lied to you, simply because he* lied to you because he loves you, he knows if he will speak the truth it will hurt you. You, including me, should not get angry if someone’s lie to us just to get our love or sympathy. Why be so angry?

Lies are not bad things… they are just the inability to accept the realities. Reality is sometime full of uncertainties… lie is one’s way of diverging from such uncertainties. After lying one become aware of the consequences, at least he knows what is going to happen. To be serious, if I ever lied it is only because I did it for someone’s benefit. Everyone says lies to save someone’s day are just fine.

*I have used ‘he’, I don’t try to be gender biased, and you can use ‘she’ if you want… ;-) (DAMN footnotes)

Limitations are your power… January 15, 2007

Whenever we are sad, we get introduced to our limitations. It become easy to overcome your limitations when you know them. This way you can leave behind your limitations and focus only on your strengths.

Our lecturer was teaching us the limitations of one of the management concepts (Human Resource Management, if you are too keen to know) in India. After that she asked what can be done to overcome these limitations. I thought it was very easy to answer this. I started to read each limitation one by one and then went on to explain what can be done to overcome that limitation. I think it would be very difficult, if I didn’t knew what was the limitations.

See if this work for you, write down your limitations (like fear or short temper) and suggest way to overcome these. It has been helpful to me, maybe it can help you too.

What is yours, but other people use it more often than you? May 29, 2006

Yeah, you guessed wrong. It’s your name.

I am experimenting this for sometime, people really respond to their name. They really feel happy when you use their name. They get sense of belonging, they feel recognized. They feel proud, they feel happy. If you want to get recognized just try calling your friends with their name. What do you think about this, Leslie?

David, if you use name like this, in beginning of your sentences people really feel good that they are addressed directly. Avoid using hey and hello, or excuse me or yelling someone “hey! Listen” try using their name and see how quickly they respond. Even you can try this, Natasha, using someone’s name in middle of your sentences grabs the attention of person you are talking to and make them inclined to your thinking and viewpoint.

The first thing that you should think of when you see someone is their name, this way helps you to remember and use their name more often. Be careful some people get irritated when you call them by name, isn’t it Sonia? Ha ha ha. I made this mistake, when I addressed my teacher with her name (of course with Ma’am) and she got angry and scolded me.

When people (who know my name) don’t call me with my name I don’t respond to them. In fact, when I was born my parents gifted me something that gave me identity. And I would like to maintain this identity until I am alive.

Follow my simple policy, and you will instantly see the effect. It will make you get noticed, will help you make more friends. People will sit and notice you when you come, people will turn their heads when you will talk. You will become a famous personality. Next time you meet your old friend; don’t say boring “Hi, ” say “Hi, Niru”. And see how they respond.

After all our name is the only thing which we like to listen over and over again.

Perhaps, it is very easy to choose a name but it is very difficult to sustain it, isn’t it Raghav?
