Healthy Competitor...

Healthy competitor tries to enhance his own confidence levels by preparing himself well for the fight rather than trying to affect the competitor’s confidence with his doings or wordings. Both the ways may result in a person’s success, but just the difference is that the satisfaction that the former brings to the heart is the most powerful. It helps one to be confident for the next encounters instead of thinking all the time about the next opponent and starting the proceedings once again.

What a wonderful week this has been…!!!

What else is desirable than surprising guests with even more surprising gifts throwing you an amazing birthday party?

What else can be expected than multiple cake-cuttings with all of your loved ones surrounding you and cheering you for many more happy returns?

What else can make you want to work more than your superior highlighting your efficiency which you have developed after working over months?

Last but never the least…

What else can make any cricket lover excited than witnessing an inspiring run-chase of your home team against the strongest opposition which has been unconquerable in three previous world cups?

But at the end, I must say that this wonderful week has seen a sad ending on a beautiful weekend evening by bidding adieu to the mighty South African team which is ousted from the ongoing world cup. I really want to see this team winning the world cup. It is all over for now for them! Come on, no good reason than today’s match itself that could make me so desperate!

To take out the positives for next week, I would first mention the highest hypo semi-final next week between India and Pakistan. And of course the final day of this world cup, let us see what’s in store for India!

There are two things I specially want to mention hereby.

** Had India lost the World Cup Quarter final to the Australians the most disappointed man on this earth for that night would have been…

** The biggest upset of this world cup is…

Of course, answering the second is easy as the final moments of the South Africans in this world cup would still be irreplaceable in many hearts. The biggest upset, for me, is the loss of South Africa to the New Zealand.

And for the first point, the most disappointed man on this earth would have been Sachin Tendulkar. I don’t know if you guys can agree with this or not, but I sincerely feel so.

I think it is enough of this for now. It is still long way to go. Hope for another memorable bunch of evenings next week!

Life Partner & the Reality…

Couple of months back I met a girl who has become a good friend of mine now. As I sit and just remembering those moments I spent with her sometime back, I remember us discussing about an interesting topic for our age group and i.e. understanding the life partner.

I’ll try to summarize our conversation of that day in my words here. Hope this will be interesting to think about!

A person can know himself/herself in a very different way than what his/her life partner knows him/her…

A person can be something to the whole world; but he/she can be something else to his/her life partner…

It is about understanding the person for what he/she is instead of going around the world to know about him/her makes the relationships perfect resulting in inspiring relationships and a good environment for the children to grow up as well.

Of course, I would say this need not only be applicable for the relationship of the life partners. But the same can be adapted to many other relationships as well.

Making people WANT to work… Take Home #46

I remember writing on ‘building a team of spirit’ in one of my earlier posts. Now, in continuation to the same post I would like to add the following.

The person who works is paid less in monetary terms than the person who makes people work. But the person who makes people want to work is paid even more in terms of respect and attention by his team than a person who just makes people work.

Confidential &Yummy…Yummy…!!

“What’s so confidential about it?”

I can’t exactly tell you how many times this question pops up in my mind every day, especially these days. Not just the confidentiality that matters but also the associated risk of losing somebody else’s capability that costs and probably counts.

Ok, now enough on it. Yesterday while I was returning home from work I was little upset, reasons unrevealed. I was clear on what was haunting me but I shall shut my mouth for now I guess. Any way, to come out of the trauma I thought I would have to do some different task in a different way altogether.

So, what to do? As a result of a whole lot of think-tank finally I boiled down on to preparing a cake with chocolate flavor. Cadbury keeps the pain away; chocolate lovers believe it and vendors pocket it. I learnt the recipe from my roommate who was away yesterday, may be the cake too missed her so much; and I learnt this fact when the preparation took more than double the time it normally takes.

And the cake was “Yummy…” after all I made it!

Still that could not stop me from shuttling between good and bad moods. So, what next? I kick started my think-tank bank all again. Suddenly I remembered the days of IIT and those late night stays. One of the most adorable tasks was to watch movies, late night shows by downloading them from the server which used to appear as if it was more informative than Google!

Remembering these, last night I started watching a movie exactly at mid night and slept later at the time which otherwise would have been my dreaming era. As I woke up today morning I was fresh and fully ready to go back to work all again.

And that’s the story of the Confidentiality and the Yummy…Yummy… Cake!

Not necessary to win always… Take Home #45

"It is not necessary to win always; but winning at just right times also can make the things work for you"

Remembering Hansie Cronje and the days of WC-1999

I was eleven years old when I was first introduced to the game called cricket. The first ever player I loved to watch out for was Sourav Ganguly, of course his good looks was the reason. My interest or may be I must name it my passion towards watching cricket reached it’s peak when the world cup started in England back in 1999.

I was just thirteen then and I must thank my parents who were very generous to me in allowing me to go on watching every match of the world cup who were otherwise very uninterested. In fact one of the biggest achievements I felt was the moment when I went to bed in disappointment as Indian team was losing it’s way against the then not-so-known Zimbabwe as my parents continued watching until they witnessed the disastrous defeat of India.

I don’t think any one on this earth know this except my mom that I didn’t turn up to my 10th class summer coaching classes the next day of that very famous defeat!! I felt the love and the understanding my mother had for me when she herself asked me if I was upset about the defeat and that was the reason behind my absence to the classes! Really, she is an awesome woman of my life.

Well, as the tournament progressed I started getting to know the other teams and players. It really helped me in answering the questions of the quiz competition at my school. The only other team I wanted to support from mid way through the tournament along side India was South Africa. And the biggest reason was the captaincy of Hansie Cronje. I know that I knew very little about the captaincy, leadership etc at that age of mine. But you know what I still stick to what I said. To me he appeared very solid both with his game and game plans. I could not even understand the commentary at that time either in English or in Hindi. I just knew this guy with his face and the emotions he displayed on field. Somehow I felt him genuine.

My support to Hansie Cronje and his men got doubled by the time of their famous semi-final match against Australia. That day’s historical tie and the followed heart breaking exit of the South Africa from the world cup made me wept like no other time so far. I shared bed with my mom that night, she probably knew that I was crying but this time she didn’t ask me.

There ended the world cup when the Australians lifted the cup after defeating the Pakistanis fascinatingly.

But my interest and the supportiveness towards the Hansie Cronje or the Team South Africa ever continued in such a fashion that even today I don’t believe in cursing Hansie for the way he rattled the cricketing world with his confession towards the match-fixing followed by a life ban. I still have the same respect, same love and same dedication in supporting him and the new South African team whenever they play. Obviously, his untimely death way back in 2002 left me blank for a moment.

As the match between India and South Africa in the ongoing WC’11 is going to take off the covers in few minutes, I dedicate this post to the great man and captain Hansie Cronje. He continues to be my idol despite of any negative news that can come up against him in future.

I await Team India’s convincing display today. Win can be of any one but I love these two teams, not equally but definitely.

Bollywood Break-Ups and the Breaking News!!!

Why the Bollywood break-ups shall be the breaking news as if there is nothing else which can break enough? Why such couple hit the headlines the next day featuring the whole untimely story?

Three reasons hit my mind after the ruthless thinking I’ve given for this. First and the foremost is the media, which has become the obvious choice for everyone to rebuke every now and then. Second one is pretty serious; it is the way the Bollywood people have been entertaining different business cases on the names of patch-ups and break-ups. And the third one is we, the readers who give enormous attention to such articles which obviously encourage the media to feel the responsibility in it’s coverage.

Media Make-up…

Media has become the life partner for everyone or I must say life-runner. Media coverage has got nothing to do with the difficulty, stress involved, and the urgency of the coverage; they do every silly thing to capture those shots or to get those words out from a celebrity. How can one just ignore the efforts of the media person, of course it is a whole different story that often they go wasted after the extravaganza?

Media can make up the outdated product as a brand new one, and so as the news on break-ups. Often they write, “A week back, X and Y decided to stop encouraging their so called relationship, for their personal reasons…”

Something has happened a week back, people involved in this must be settled by now, junta known nothing about it’s happening, but the only one who is unhappy with the way the things are is the media! They raise the curtain for another episode which can waste the time of people as it pulls them in to gossiping.

Now enough on what is happening. For me it appears like this. It is better for the media and for people to treat the personals of someone such that they won’t affect the way the things are moving for the people or for the society. One shall think twice before delivering such news. It is not only about the social responsibility but it is also about polluting someone’s mind, which is at good work, may be!

Bollywood’s business…

The less we talk the better we feel about the continuous streak of break-ups happening these days. The whole news on the start of relationship of two, and then the live-in relationship of those two, and then the movies they cast together seems utterly waste when the whole thing is named as a business case where in the duo have been promoting their films.

One can never know when a patch-up happens and the break-up follows. It all happens as if it itself is a real time “Live movie”. Major worry is not that it is not at all the world-loving Indian culture, but there is a big reason to worry and that is the way all such incidents affect the younger generations and their growing mindsets.

In my childhood, I used to read such news very rarely. Such news used to appear far away, geographically and mentally as well. But the way they are appearing every now and then in the news papers, TV channels will make the younger generation of today feel that they are quite surrounded by such incidents and may be they are also part of it, and eventually leading to the belief that they can also do it! And this is already proven in many cases of once so called “couples”.

However, it is never late to realize. It is better if the Bollywood cuties understand the real world apart from the movie mania. It is not only the moral responsibility, but it is also the social responsibility that they often point only in their words or in some charity organized functions. Everybody shall be extra careful in maintaining their relationships such that they would not become the show-stoppers.

The Reader’s attention…

I know can write very less under this heading. It is up to an individual’s own interest on what to concentrate upon and what not to. But, may be giving it a thought about our own interests will not be a bad idea once in a while. What we are interested about, what makes us exciting and what not etc are the most helpful questions for us and for the society as well. I agree that interests can not be killed but I believe that they can be analyzed and used in most effective ways.

Hope I made some sense here.

Lost In Thoughts...

Lost In Thoughts,
Of big moments to achieve;
Of the glory to enjoy;
Of the choices to make;
Of the world to celebrate me;

Really I was lost last night,
When I went to bed,
With uncontrollable thoughts,
With unknowingly hidden tears;
May be, it happens, at times!!

Mood swings are not new to me;
But this time it is different;
I’m unable to identify the worry,
And it’s the major problem,
Which need to be operated soon.

But I know,
I’ll be fine, soon.

Message @ Women's Day...

I often listen to this “The world is a better place because of the presence of a woman”. I completely agree and this one line can speak a million feelings.

On the eve of the International women’s day, I’ve a small message for all of you.

Men,
Recognize the efforts of the lady of your life.
Understand her way of expressing her love towards you.
Best love is ensured when you can understand the mood swings of her.
And always do remember,
Whatever you do, you can not give back the same what a girl/woman gives to you.

Women,
People of all kinds exist; just that the way everyone is different.
Never compare. Never humiliate unnecessarily.
Just understand, love and believe.
Respect what the world has given to you.
Be respected for what you only can give to the world.

I believe these lines so much. I often tell myself the same being a girl and proud to be so.

Happy women’s day to all the concerned.

Taking the advantage…

“What you see is what you believe”

Well quoted and true as well. Understanding this makes life much easier. Often we fail to realize the fact that we are actually facing difficulty in implementing this in our life styles. But, on the other hand most of the times this particular attitude solves many problems for us, because it is easy to believe than changing the happenings or surroundings.

No need to worry about a person’s comments when you believe that he does not mean it…

Not sounding easy… isn’t it?

Of course, it is not. But it is worth giving a thought for a while. I’ve really seen people who can do this easily in their lives. They are the true inspiration for this post.

Like anything else, there is a dark corner associated with this attitude as well. There is every chance that the people who can well understand such behaviour in others can take the advantage of this particular kind of humans. Now do not get me wrong. I don’t mean that every one who understand such behaviors take advantage, but definitely some do.

So it is not just important to understand the basics like the above quoted. But it is also important to be extra careful about such disastrous loop holes associated with the same.

It is worth thinking!

Team India on it's way...

As I write this England is losing it’s way in the ongoing WC match as they take on one of the favorites for this world cup, my only favorites team other than India, i.e. South Africa. As a matter of fact, the pitch is a slow one, but the English men will feel the heat to go through the top class Safaris’ batting line up.

Well, another Sunday and another big game is on it’s way. I don’t think the adjective “big” surprises many, especially after watching the Irish men’s display against the British on the other day.

India vs. Ireland…

No matter what happens in the world cup with other teams, Indians will not mind anything as long as the Team India’s big guns fire on their days. As long as Team India does not lose it’s way, nothing goes wrong against the money pocketing of the ICC or BCCI. Knowing it enough the schedule is accordingly made; big matches on the weekends; day-night matches ONLY for the Team India;

The world cup spirit…

I’m with my fingers crossed to answer the questions of many parents and teachers if the ongoing world cup and the inspiring performances of the minnows can inspire the students write their exams well or at least to prepare for the exams well. Like anyone else, I’m also dumb for a moment. Hope this does not hurt much.

The Favorites…

Year after the year, world cup after the world cup, the favoritism is getting vanished slowly and it is the good augur for the game. Not just that it makes the things interesting, at the same time it can slowly remove the barriers such as under-dogs.

The WC’11 is a good or I must say the best example for the stage which can inspire the countries to give their best, no matter against whom they are playing or where they are playing. It is just about giving your hundred percent on every day than just trying it out.

I’m supporting India obviously. Indian bowling attack has been spoken a lot these days, especially after the start of the world cup, but something is spurring me to write that they will rock and silent the critics. But at the same time, there are many deserved teams to win the world cup, as they say. But for me it is just South Africa if it is not India at the end.

** South Africa: It is the team which plays extra ordinary cricket if it is not the world cup. I really don’t know what’s wrong with this team, but after being named for the title favorites three times consecutively for the world cup win, they failed; sometimes in qualifying for the last step and some other times in stepping forward from the first step itself. This time, they are all energetic than anytime else so far with their top class batting and the stunning bowling. Certainly the chances are more for them in the sub-continent hosting world cup.

Some other teams make me go stared when they play. Here are they.

** Pakistan: After Wasim Akram, somehow I could not find a fellow whom I feel like supporting in this team. In some way, its Misbha and Shahid Afridi. I’m missing Shoiab Malik, the smiling silent killer. Aktar has not yet proved his best, may be he is awaiting the Tendulkar’s show! This team has got it’s chances. But I’m not very sure!

** Australia: The true world champions they are. I’ve no doubt in saying so; of course I never preferred liking them with the aggressiveness, but at times I loved their aggressiveness too, silently. I confess I’m one of those who waited seeing their down fall and here it is, this time round.

** Srilanka: As per me, this team has got everything but they depend on one or the other every time they win. As a team they won very few matches recently, which obviously makes me call NO for the favorites, but you can never say dude!

Once again I would say its nothing more you and me can do than keeping our fingers crossed.

Jai Ho… World cup..;)

The factor called “The last world cup”…

The so called Sachin’s last world cup campaign has over shadowed it’s applicability to may other cricketer of many other countries. As a matter of fact, this may be the last world cup for few, but this can be the last world cup for anyone you name.

Jacques Kalis, Graeme Smith of South Africa, Daniel Vetori of New Zealand, Rickey Pointing and Brett Lee of the Ausies, Muralitharan of the Srilanka, Paul Collingwood of the England, and for that matter Virender Sehwag, Zaheer khan of India, for all such this age’s cricketing greats this can be the last world cup campaign!!

Seeing this, the factor called the last world cup is applicable equally across the continents and the players. It is important to win it this time for everyone at the same quota.

Hope we will have fun watching and analyzing all these.

Ensuring the focus… Take Home #44

Not every time one is allowed to make choices. Sometimes, it is certain that one needs to follow something which may not be the ultimate but is the only remaining. Now that does not mean taking back seat. May be, that can be the beginning of an unending streak of successes.

It is not about whether you are choosing or following, but it is all about believing what you are doing ensures your focus at times.

The Well Deserved TIE…

Wow… what a convincing result…no team deserved the loss!!! This was my expression at the end of today’s match. What else can any one expect after a nerve wrenching match? Of course, win of either side would have lifted the spirit of the game, but the tie has kept the spirit of the players who are probably playing the important phase of cricket of their lives.

Sachin played an unconventional innings of his modern cricketing attitude bringing back the glorious memories of him of 1999-2000 with those remarkable sixes. Yuvi’s competitive innings has a lot to do with the confidence it brings to the Indian dressing room. At the end Zaheer proved it. On the whole it was a good game today, and of course I can not end this post without mentioning that I had missed Dhoni’s stunning Captaincy, both in terms of the knock as well as the field settings. Hope he gets his rhythm as soon as possible.

The English captain was the only specimen who made me not to be selfish about India’s win. I do believe that it would have been a famous win if it was either of the sides ending on the top, but this will remain as a good inspiring work for all the teams who will be chasing the big under lights.

Ok, Sunday Smiles popped up on my face at the end and for me “this is it …”

Few more such matches will make me happy for being able to witness the WC’11.

I don’t want to hide the fact that today’s performance of India, especially the bowling makes me look forward for more good matches, and convincing wins to be specific. I feel India can and will work it out.

Sunday Smiles…

If it was not for India, all the other teams I supported so far ended up on the losing side on the respective days in the ongoing cricket world cup including tonight’s clash of Sri Lanka and Pakistan. But that does not worry me much. All my concern is about the upcoming match, i.e. the India Vs England, tomorrow at Bangaluru, as I’m once again geared up to support my all time favorite team, the Team India. Now this too does not make me think too much about it and the reason is nothing else than the Team India itself. Being named as one of the best teams playing the world cup, playing before the heartful home crowd on the home soil and having the world class players teamed up to fight for capturing the cup, this Team India keeps my nerves cool.

“Hope we bring it home this time...” hope the popular words by the cricketing maestro Sachin Tendulkar come true.

So, for tomorrow’s match all is set. Should I chose one side for the cup winning, it is obviously India. But if I have to choose the most deserving, I’m screwed completely. Reasons follow in my next post on the world cup.

For now, its sign off from me with the hope for tomorrow’s Sunday Smiles.

The best material of a manager... Take Home #43

Sometimes one shall satisfy the purpose of work at the cost of people involved. Sometimes one shall satisfy the people involved at the cost of the purpose of work. Only the best material of a manager can choose the right option out of these two.

Cricket @ College days...

College days are the best ones to watch a cricket match anytime as you want. Its just about adjusting your own time-table unlike the corporate world where in one has to adjust himself for the organization’s or team’s.

As the 2011 world cup is on, I’m occupied with the memories of the days I watched the 2003 world cup in our B.Tech hostel's TV room with all of my friends and many other cricket lovers. Probably those are the best days I’ve ever spent watching a match. It touches me when I recall some of my friends saying that they had come to the TV room just to feel happy being my side as I get excited about the match. Definitely, the most I’m going to miss this time round will be the cheer and the fun what most of the cricket fans enjoy when they watch the match together.

Double Game... Take Home #42

“Double game” may win the game for you for the day but the ultimate loss is never imaginable. Most of the times, the win is at the cost of the people involved. By the time it is realized the damage will have already happened. Remember, nothing else can get you the people back as they were earlier.

The Start…

Colorful is the word coming to my mind thinking of the opening ceremony of the 10th cricket world cup held at the Bangabhandhu Stadium, Dhaka. Honestly, I loved the fire works. Of course, it was nothing new or not too big, but checking it out from the expectations that I had, Bangladesh has really done it well.

Sonu Nigam was at his best so as the Shankar Mahdevan with their respective performances on the stage. The 2011 world cup song moved my nerves too much. The performance named the “Magnificent India” magnificently represented the diversified culture of the world big democratic country.

Surprising to me was the way the captains were brought on to the stage by the Rickshaws. It appeared a nice and simple act that would have already touched not only the Bangladesh Junta but also the Indian proud people who usually keep many things simple.

On the whole, it was a wonderful opening ceremony experience. However, something was definitely lacking, I don’t know, but… somewhere at the back of my mind, like any other Indian, I think I too felt “Had it been in India…!”

And the Masqat “The Stumpy” is great too.

Get Inspired… Take Home #41

One shall use the success of his competitors or contemporaries to inspire himself rather than getting tensed and losing momentum thinking of his own result. Once he starts inspiring himself, obviously he starts respecting the winner, though may not always be for what the winner is, but always for his win and for the way he has won.

Practicing such and adopting such thinking generate the courage to accept the loss, give the confidence to perform better next time, further add great chances for one to get succeeded and inspire others as well.

To become Mrs. somebody…

… What a girl goes through?

Probably this post has been the one which has taken quite a lot of time for me to compose. Not that I have nothing to write under this title, but it has always been a challenge to pick up the relevant ones out of the limitless thoughts waving high; even tougher job is to arrange them in an order. I hope I’ve been the best choosy of mine in delivering the post.

I don’t know if the long time that I have taken to think and write this post is the culprit, let me tell you, out of all the posts I’ve written in my blog so far, this is the one which is very dear to my heart. All the moments I’ve pondered through various thoughts for this post will always remain as some of the best of their kind, as far as I’m concerned.

Read on…

Childhood days are the best ones in terms of making a girl believe harmony of love of her well-wishers who surround her. They make her believe in the affection and caring of her people as if it continues forever and ever. Never realizing mindset of the fact that she has to be someone else’s someday, keeps her nerves off the pinching pain and fills her heart with joy and only joy.

As the days pass by and the years say goodbye one after the other, she realizes the fact that she has to step in to a different world all together at a certain age of her life. Realizing this fact is just the starting point of the journey which she has yet to go a long way. As soon as she starts imagining her future with somebody, she starts searching for the quality first of all, which she would like to have in the person she would have to live with.

Certain mentality of her keeps on developing within herself, which almost becomes her attitude towards her marriage or towards the whole extravaganza itself. The way the people are getting married, the way they are leading their married lives interest her as the days pass by.

Days can never be stopped so as the years and age as well. As she is still in understanding the whole concept and preparing herself towards the requirements of social life, she comes to know that her parents want her to get married, and that they would like to start the match-fixing process.

** Nerves start feeling the heat. All of a sudden, she has to wind up her observations, thinking and learning process, and she has to identify her own ideas of the right person for her.

** Of course, some support is provided by the family and friends, but she feels that she is all alone in deciding the choice for herself. More than the good thoughts about choosing the right person, the fear of losing the right person starts dominating.

** In some cases even the time is not provided by her parents; some parents go a step ahead and even do not provide her the option to choose. She has to blindly follow the so called perfect choice of her parents which makes her choice-less from a side and fearful from all routines.

** Based on the girl’s own ideas and the experiences of others, sometimes she stays very positive towards the marriage. At the same time, the fear of playing with the luck factor keeps on pinching from the back.

** Especially in the cases of working woman, the difficult task of choosing between the person and the working location or organization becomes the hectic job apart from the regular job which fills her bank account every month. In case, if she is in a responsible position and liking the work she is doing or if she has already planned her career in the years to come, it becomes even tougher, not only for her personal life but also for her professional life.

** Parents stay somewhere, she stays somewhere else, all have to have a single opinion about the right choice, and why does not it makes her life challenging to attend the phone calls of asking her to come home frequently?

** If the girl is still young or in her very early twenties or last stages of her teenage, the whole music she has to face is very different. Decision making skills at this age of a particular girl is not competent enough in any way to match with the basic needs of a mind that can choose confidently.

** Otherwise, if the girl or if I should call lady, is well settled and is in her late thirties or so, it is even bigger task for her to prepare herself to undergo the proceedings. Recently I read a survey result, in which it is very clearly mentioned that the women who are well settled and are in their late thirties or above, would have a clear opinion about their life partners and also understanding and satisfying such ladies would be a difficult task for their better halves.

** Emotional but it is the fact that ay girl who is going to get married definitely thinks about the responsibility that she has for her parents, how he will take care of her parents, how well will her relation with her parents stay fresh always etc. It is almost impossible to estimate the other person especially in such issues. This scenario not only makes the girl worried, at the same time it makes her parents face nightmares.

** Marriage is not just about two people, it is about two families. Each other’s support is very important; it is even important for the girl speaking realistically. Whopping thoughts about the life after marriage in this regard keeps her transfixed.

** Innumerable and unanswerable questions pop up. At the same time, they are unexplainable or at least inexpressible here for me here in this blog.

This attempt of mine is just to make you people think and understand the situations. Being a girl, I’ve observed almost all of the above situations in the lives of my friends or my relatives. These may have been thought from a skeptical point of view as we all being humans, each one of us can think about a particular issue from a particular direction or with some ideas. There would be many other situations and attitudes. I’ll go ahead and try to understand as many as possible, so that I can help such girls by doing as much as I can.

All in all, to become Mrs. Somebody a girl undergoes certain practical difficulties, but at the same time this stage shall be taken positively. Hopefulness makes the girl take good and bold decisions at the same time carefulness is very much important in every aspect. Good learnings can be obtained when the difficulties are faced!

PS: No special cases or love marriages are considered while writing the above lines. Hope you understand.

Awards Vs People

Some people are known for the awards they have received, but some awards are known for the people whom they are bestowed upon. The former joins the history, the later creates the history.

Be willing to give credit…

Not getting the credit, but the ability and willingness to give credit to the deserved separates the people who are succeeded and the people who stay successful.

Never late to appreciate... Take Home #40

Of course, it is never late to appreciate; but the delay in appreciating the deserved shall be kept as less as possible.

Want to work in heaven?

As long as the work is interesting, fame-giving and gainful in someway or the other, the person who is working on it or responding on it does not mind about anything else. But the moment it becomes clutter, troublesome or effort-full, all the questions such as the team which is supposed to be doing it, or the person who shall be responding on it etc pop up. If he is the same person who is supposed to work on that, then he takes it as a challenge; if he is not, then he brings in the right person to face the challenge, thinking happy for putting himself out of the mess.

I wonder, why at all such questions are not thought of before addressing any issue!

As I write this, I remember a quote by Albert Einstein:

“Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction”

Where a right person addresses the right issue in the right direction to meet the right expectations that is the place we feel heaven to work in. I know I’m sounding ideal, but who does not want to work in heaven?
