explained as a state of not being able to work with another person or thing
because of basic differences. This can be case with devices, software,
machinery and people. When it happens with things, it will render them useless;
however when it happens among people, it will result in unfavorable situations
and the complications that arise as a result of it. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-left: 46.5pt;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">In this post, we will
discuss how incompatibility between people affects their work and personal lives.
To understand this term we first need to understand that this doesn’t happen
overnight. It consists of multiple layers formed over a period of time. The
degree of dissent between people is a direct outcome of how long it has not been
acknowledged, addressed and thereby ignored. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-left: 46.5pt;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">People tend to perceive the
same situation differently. This ability of people is the primary reason for
the conflict to begin. No two people are a one hundred percent match for each
other. However between two people, if you consider that the other person already
has an 80% of what you need, and lacks a 20% of what you want. It is your choice whether you are willing to let go off the </span></span><span style="color: #555555; font-family: arial;">80% that you have for the </span><span style="color: #555555; font-family: arial;">20% that you want.</span><span style="color: #555555; font-family: arial;"> </span><span style="color: #555555; font-family: arial;">How far you are willing
to work with the other person and vice versa makes the difference.</span></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-left: 46.5pt;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">It is a no brainer that
it is the most common and prevalent issue today in people’s personal and professional
lives. The reasons for the discords between people are far from being simple,
it could be having different priorities, ego, a general lack of appreciation of
efforts, time and sacrifices of the other person. Etc. etc.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-left: 46.5pt;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Hence we will try to
understand the issue and learn how to diffuse it. Identifying the problem early
is the key here. The sooner it is identified, the easier it is to resolve it. A
few pointers will help resolving situations like this. Needless to say, open
and a free communication are fundamental to approach towards a resolution. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

</span></span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="color: #555555;">Keeping calm throughout
the conversation, otherwise the mind shuts off even the basic functions, like
hearing the other person when both are talking over each other.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-left: 0.5in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">It is important that both
parties agree on an action plan. Documentation of the same helps keep actions
defined in a more formal scenario. The process is simple, but the implementation
of the same by both parties is critical. It requires to be followed up from
time to time. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-left: 0.5in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">This approach will definitely
help work on relationships that people would generally give up making excuses
of incompatibility. It would transform the quality of a relationship for good. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

selflessness is not an easy one. It requires discipline, sacrifice, patience
and courage. Always doing the right thing. Once we start the journey, it is
bound to change the way we look and conduct things in our life.</span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: arial;">[Many interpretations are already
available on the open source. For the benefit on my readers, I am attempting to
put it together here with my perspective]<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: arial;">This post is an attempt to understand
the teachings from a great scripture Bhagavad Gita. The principles of which are
so relevant even today, even after thousands of years of its inception. The
summary of the eighteen chapters helps and guides us to look through our life
with clarity. For those who follow the principles mentioned it serves as a
guiding beacon on how to conduct life in general. Though there are countless
lessons that the epic book teaches us, these are a few pointers that we can
imbibe them in our day-to-day life:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: arial;">• Understand
that change is the law of nature: Everything will change, including circumstances,
situation, people etc. We need to be open to new things or people. The only
thing we lack is the right amount of motivation and inspiration for the unique
circumstances that we face. Once we go through the process it becomes our
experience.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: arial;">• Stay
Calm: Staying calm gives your mind a break that it needs to get out of a
situation and find the best way to react. Our entire knowledge is useless if we
panic. Our anger is the worst enemy that we can face. Being calm helps our mind
to organize our thoughts, apply our knowledge, evaluate the consequences and
find a solution for the problem at hand.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: arial;">• Be
fearless: Fear is a primordial emotion present in every living being.
Nevertheless, it is important that we step up for what is right, stand up for
the weak. Facing our fear fills us up with a great sense of achievement and
reinforces our capabilities.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: arial;">• Accept
that things are not permanent: Don’t get overly attached to materialistic
things. They will eventually get destroyed or change. Clinging to things is the
root cause of all miseries. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: arial;">• Don’t
be selfish: Let go off I, Me and Myself attitude. By working always for the
benefit of others would cause the entire world to help us in our times of need.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: arial;">• Don’t
think about the consequences too often: Shifting focus on doing a prescribed
task is of utmost importance than worrying about the outcome itself. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: arial;">• You
came empty handed and you’ll leave empty handed: This is the universal law. The
good name that we earn doing good deeds for others, during our lifetime, is the
only thing that lives beyond us.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: arial;">• Man
is made up of his belief: If we think we cannot accomplish a task, we have lost
the battle before it has even started. Do not doubt yourself, put genuine
efforts though.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: arial;">These principles, when imbibed as a way
of life, are sure to transform the very quality of our life for good. They
never fail to guide us through the right path whenever we face lack of clarity
in a situation.<o:p></o:p></span></p><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-6508873135590614801" itemprop="articleBody" style="background-color: #fff0ee; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; width: 570px;"><p style="background: white; margin-left: 0.75in;"><i><span face="arial, "sans-serif"" lang="EN-US" style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Thanks a lot!

sense of belief that something will happen for sure. It is bound to happen
between two people associated for a while. It is a formal occurrence at work
and tends to be a more casual thing in personal relationships. Irrespective of
whether it is at work or in personal life, it can at times catch us off guard.
It can at times be difficult to manage.</span></span><p></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-left: 46.5pt;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Expectations of a person
towards us don’t happen overnight. It is built overtime. The reason
expectations of a person towards us grow is primarily because of our own self.
The factors that depend are our attitude, capability, experience, how important
the other person is to us etc.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-left: 46.5pt;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Expectations are sort of
an undiscussed pact between two people and come with their own pros and cons.
Pros indicate trust, confidence and hope the other people have in us. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-left: 46.5pt;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The entire problem is
when expectations are not managed properly and start showing the cons. It could
be various reasons that we let people build expectations on us. A few examples
are that we let people depend on us more than required, at times we allow
people to take us for granted, and the way we act differently with two
different people in the same situation. We may act so because of some
exceptions, but it is not perceived so by the other person. The other person
will mostly form the opinion that we are acting indifferently. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-left: 46.5pt;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">A few pointers to manage
the expectations in a right way from the beginning are as follows:<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-left: 46.5pt;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">• Open and honest
conversations: This is the most important aspect needed that we be open and
honest in our conversations with people. It is always better to undersell and
deliver better than to oversell and fail.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-left: 46.5pt;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">• Explaining the
exceptions clearly: Whenever we go out of the way and do something for someone,
it should be explained clearly as it is a one-time event. Similarly, clarity in
communicating what we can do, we will do, and what we will never do is
critical.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-left: 46.5pt;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">• Acting differently with
two different people for the same situation: First of all, we need to question
ourselves why are we choosing to do it? Is there a good reason for doing so? If
the reason is a good enough one, communicate it clearly to the person in
question.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-left: 46.5pt;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">In worst case scenarios,
expectations gone wrong will create havoc and destroy relationships if not acted
in time. Managing expectations is a delicate process and will need care.
Similarly, when you have an expectation from the other person too the
above-mentioned points must be kept in mind. Knowledge and experience of these
aspects will help us avoid facing unreasonable expectations for ourselves and
have reasonable expectations with others. Positive expectations create thriving
and long-lasting relationships. I wish my readers more such rewarding
experiences in their life.</span><span face="Helvetica, sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-6508873135590614801" itemprop="articleBody" style="background-color: #fff0ee; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; width: 570px;"><p style="background: white; margin-left: 0.75in;"><i><span face="arial, "sans-serif"" lang="EN-US" style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Thanks a lot!

ways. We possess strengths, the things we are good at. We acquire these
strengths by virtue of education, practice, experience etc. Similarly, we have
a few areas of development as well. These are things that we can much better at
than the present level. These areas of development limit us and restrict us in
many ways than we may imagine. It results in missed opportunities, a better
chance at life, misunderstandings etc.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white; margin-left: 0.75in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The very fact that we
have identified these shortcomings in us is because we still have to work
towards them. It could be anything like overcoming an obstacle, getting rid of
a habit or how we deal with people in general. We either know these ourselves
or we receive feedback from people who are our well-wishers. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white; margin-left: 0.75in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">It is quite possible that
we may receive this feedback from multiple people on more than one occasion.
This is a clear indication that we either start working on it immediately or
keep facing the same problem over and over again. These identified things or habits
may vary from person to person. It could be anything like lying, cheating,
anger management issues etc. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white; margin-left: 0.75in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">One thing is clear,
whatever the issue is it is bound to be detrimental or even destructive to a
relationship, especially in severe cases. Another thing that is even clearer is
it is simply not going to disappear on its own, unless we put efforts into
working towards these issues. A few pointers below will help structure our
approach in working towards this:<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white; margin-left: 0.75in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">• Mind matters: Clarity in identifying the exact thing that we want
to work on and making up our mind is the first and crucial step. Our mind is
stronger than we can even fathom. Should we make up our mind and put efforts
there is hardly anything that we cannot work on.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white; margin-left: 0.75in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">• Goal setting: Once we have made up our mind, the next step is
putting efforts towards it. This is the most difficult part because it requires
perseverance, however it is not impossible though. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white; margin-left: 0.75in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">• Choosing the right methodology to implement is the key: Different
things work for different people. For some people constantly reminding
themselves of the goal works, for others taking an oath works. We must identify
what works for us and put a conscious effort towards it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p>
</p><p style="background: white; margin-left: 0.75in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Once we work towards a
specific goal within a time period, the results will be a rewarding experience.
We are bound to regret waiting to have done it for so long and thank ourselves for having finally implemented it. Like they always say better late than never. I
wish my readers to identify issues if any, work on them and experience a quality
life.</span><span face="Helvetica, sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white; margin-left: 0.75in;"><i style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px;"><span face="arial, "sans-serif"" lang="EN-US" style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Thanks a lot!

to almost all aspects of our life. It is the way we talk to people and conduct
our day-to-day affairs. Our success directly depends on how effective we are at
it. There is a different kind of communication, which we use to speak and
connect with ourselves called our ‘Inner voice’. In this post, we will learn
about our ‘Inner voice’ and ‘Inner strength’.</span></span><p></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-left: .5in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">‘Inner voice’ is the way
that we talk with ourselves, ask ourselves multiple questions while seeking a
situation. ‘Inner strength’ is our untapped capability, the limits of our
potential to see us out of a dangerous situation. It is bound to give good
results, each time when we use it effectively.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-left: .5in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Everyone is blessed with
the above capabilities. It is just that some people know how to use it
effectively and others are yet to learn to use it, when they face situations
that demand them.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-left: .5in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The situations that
prompt the usage of these capabilities are not very frequent. It is usually
when we are stuck at a crossroads or in difficult and dangerous situations in
life. A few examples of it are when we have to take important decisions, course
correction situations in life, when we are in critical situations.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-left: .5in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The fundamental
principles that guide us in usage of these capabilities don’t change irrespective
of the situations we face. It is how we are as a person that determines the
usage and outcome of these capabilities.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-left: .5in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">When we are facing a
difficult situation, we don’t arrive at a solution directly. It happens after a
series of different phases. The different phases can vary from being
disinterested, anger, frustration, feeling victimized etc. It is situation
specific. These situations tend to be highly emotional. A few pointers below
will help get a clarity to cross through the rough patches:<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-left: .5in;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #555555;">• <b><i>Figure out what you want and learn how to ask for it: We
need to practice this when we are communicating with ourselves. It is important
to not choose something just because it is the easiest way out.</i></b></span><span style="color: #555555;"><b><i> </i></b></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-left: .5in;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><i><span style="color: #555555;">• You’re tougher than you think you are right now: It is very
critical to believing our self. Holding the fort until we find a solution is
paramount. It is a shame that people lack this ability and in severe cases end
their life.</span><span style="color: #555555;"> </span></i></b></span></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-left: .5in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><i>• Not doing anything wrong is what will keep you afloat: Not
succumbing to external pressure during the different phases of facing the
situation is critical. Any wrong step due to any reason will only aggravate it
further.</i></b><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-left: .5in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">These situations from the
beginning to the end will surely be difficult and test our potential to the
limits. We cannot escape facing them, however, the outcome in general will be
better, if we improve the ways to handle it. Our ‘Inner voice’ and ‘Inner
strength’ is truly an asset that we possess in countering these difficult
situations.</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px;"><i><span face="arial, "sans-serif"" lang="EN-US" style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Thanks a lot!

powerful thing, with determination and grit people can achieve what seems to be
herculean tasks. Similarly, when the mind wavers and lacks clarity, it can end
up in disastrous situations too. It is how we train our mind to perform that
matters.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Speaking of mind since
everyone has one of their own, and it is unique. People think and react to
situations differently. Though the reaction may be similar among few; however,
what prompts them to react differs from person to person. These reactions can
be a result of learning, experience, habits etc. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">When any two people live
together or are associated together for a long time, the way they think, their
way of doing things, their perception of situation etc. differs. It is even
more obvious when people involved are of different sex. Initially, they may try
to go out of the way and showcase their best behaviors. However, over time as
they get more complacent with each other, their mind starts exploring and
analyzing. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">People feel the need of
sometime for themselves referred to as ‘Me Time’. They feel the urge to relax
and unwind. It is completely normal, in fact essential to relax too. Now how
one does it or what relaxes a person completely differ from person to person;
especially with people of different sex. For example, a woman might find
activity like shopping relaxing and soothing; whereas a man might feel it
stressful and enjoy some other activity like hanging around with his friends
over a drink.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Whatever the activity,
the ‘Me Time’ will only add freshness to the relationship and strengthen it.
This must be understood as paramount to a healthy relationship.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The real problem is when
the ‘Me Time’ of both the people overlap with each other. They fail to realize
that this time they are allowing for each other ensures things between them
lively forever. Some people may not understand this simple concept and hence
fail to understand the need for it. The reasons could be insecurity, jealousy,
possessiveness, selfishness etc. Whatever the reason may be these overlapping
space issues will only strain a relationship and be detrimental to it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Some people can indulge
in these overlapping space issues knowingly, and some may do it with the lack of
knowledge of it. A few pointers to deal with such situations are:<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">• <b><i> Open communication: This is the first basic step that needs
to be followed. In many situations, it is a one stop solution that addresses
the issue.<o:p></o:p></i></b></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><b><i><span style="font-family: arial;">• Me Time: Discussing the concept of ‘Me Time’ and explaining
the need for it for both. Agreeing on a schedule.<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><b><i><span style="font-family: arial;">• Adhering to the schedule: Adhering to the mutually agreed
schedule and respecting the other person’s ‘Me Time’ space.<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><i>• Honesty Factor: People usually maintain secrecy and indulge
in their own space. It defeats the very purpose. It harbors suspicion and
thereby leads to lying. Lies compound lies. If you don’t lie you don’t have to
remember a thing.</i></b><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The basics of any
relationship need to be love, trust and respect for each other. Any element
lacking will get the entire thing done. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Sometimes we need to
train our mind in order to accept certain things and improvise accordingly. We
need to get the mind thinking that this accepting and respecting of each
other’s space is not because we want to escape from each other. It is only for
refreshing the lovely relationship from time to time. In general terms it is
called the Placebo effect.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p>
</p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">A placebo is anything
that seems to be a "real" medical treatment -- but isn't. It could be
a pill, a shot, or some other type of "fake" treatment. One of its
uses is to get the mind thinking that it is getting the real medicine and
strengthen it to recover. Placebos can have an effect on conditions such as
depression, pain, sleep disorders etc. (Information sourced from internet}</span><span face="Helvetica, sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-6960284600262609703" itemprop="description articleBody" style="background-color: #fff0ee; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; width: 570px;"><div class="MsoNormal"><i><span face="arial, "sans-serif"" lang="EN-US" style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Thanks a lot!

living it to the fullest, while it lasts. We seem to have lost this
understanding somewhere in the hustle of life. People plan extensively for
their academics, career, their life itself. It is only natural and of course
good to have a great plan in place. No offense with that at all. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">However, the problem lies
when things do not go as planned. The resultant disappointment is sometimes
really very difficult to handle. The inability to prepare ourselves to handle
failures and manage our expectations makes matters worse for us.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">In worst case scenarios,
people even commit suicide over petty things such as failure in exams,
relationships, financial problems etc. I have come across cases in the news
where people have ended their life as they could not get their desired mobile
phone. It is such a shame that people can end up taking such disastrous steps,
for such silly reasons.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The reason that such
incidents happen is because during that instance people are so consumed by the
desire that they cannot imagine the guilt nor were they prepared to handle the
fear of loss. These silly things unfortunately, do not at all matter to our
life in general. No reason can possibly justify these disastrous decisions no
matter what.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Even in not so severe
cases, people suffer to manage the fear of things not going as planned, fear of
loss. The loss could be anything, a lost job, a failed relationship, going
bankrupt etc. In general, the fear of loss of anything gets so overwhelming
that it disables our ability to think beyond the cocoon that we unfortunately
spin around us.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Our ability to deal with
such situations depends solely on our inner strength that we nurture and our
thought process. A few pointers that can help build the same are as follows:<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">• <b><i>The best thing in life aren’t things at all; realizing life
is much bigger than we can fathom.<o:p></o:p></i></b></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><b><i><span style="font-family: arial;">• Life is not about doing big things perfectly, it is about
doing little things right; one thing at a time, rest will fall into place.<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><b><i><span style="font-family: arial;">• Realizing Forgiveness is a superpower; holding things to
yourself can hurt a lot.<o:p></o:p></span></i></b></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><i>• Listening to our heart and letting the power of our love
overcome our fears.</i></b><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">There is no such thing as
being too late when we are trying to improve the quality of life. Our life is
our choice, how and where we choose to take it. When we keep letting ourselves
in these horrible situations then we lose a piece of ourselves. When we
approach life situations with this thought process and a firm inner strength,
we are only bound to make quality decisions in life; even while facing our
biggest fears.</span><span face="Helvetica, sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #fff0ee; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px;"><i><span face="arial, "sans-serif"" lang="EN-US" style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Thanks a lot!

relationships both in their professional and personal life. It is a very big
and integral part of life itself. Most of these relationships are results
of the choices that they make in life. The choices made are based on that
person’s feelings, observations, likes and dislikes, compatibility etc.</span></span></p><p style="background: white; margin-left: .5in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The relationships thus
made are sometimes thriving and at times challenging. In the worst cases, it can
turn into an abusive relationship. The reasons it turns abusive can be varied, and
assorted too. It reaches an extent that you can no longer continue the
relationship even for a day; yet due to some reasons or pressures you are
forced to survive through it. It feels like leading a miserable life every day.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white; margin-left: .5in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">People sometimes struggle
in their relationships. Even when there are numerous reasons to give up, they
cling to that one reason not to. In most cases it is a simple lack of
understanding of each other, incompatibility, unwillingness, ego etc.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white; margin-left: .5in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The transformation in a
relationship from a challenging one to an abusive one does not happen all of a
sudden. Only in rare cases it happens suddenly, for example due to an
unacceptable incident etc.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white; margin-left: .5in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">We cannot control the
things life does to us, they are done even before we know it, and once they are
done it makes us do other things. The idea is to hope for the best but prepare
for the worst. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white; margin-left: .5in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">However, it is paramount
to identify the changes in the behavior and act swiftly to control the damage. The
following are few pointers that will help see through the rough patches:<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white; margin-left: 1.0in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #555555;">·<span style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal;">

relationships are formed due to our own choices and they last due to our own part

of shortcomings or capability of both.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Wishing all my readers a happy and fulfilling relationship!<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #222222;"><i><span face="arial, "sans-serif"" lang="EN-US" style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Thanks a lot!

wisdom and being humble is the hierarchy of learning in life.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-left: 0.5in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The purpose of education
is gaining knowledge to help ourselves and others. The next step is gathering
wisdom over a period of time, by virtue of our experiences. After getting an
excellent education, acquiring great knowledge and getting wise; it is critical
to be humble despite our achievements. It is like a feather in a cap.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-left: 0.5in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">This is all possible only
with our ability to communicate. Communication sets us apart from the other
species. Great accomplishments are a result of this ability. However, there are
many instances that require us to be silent too. In fact, we need to understand
that silence is an integral part of our communication too. We need to be wary
of the instances and importance of remaining silent in some situations. It is
crucial that we identify those situations well in advance.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-left: 0.5in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">A few instances where silence is golden are:<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-left: 0.5in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">• When you are angry: it is the most important time that you
need to control yourself and refrain from speaking. Many a times you will come
across people saying that ‘I just cannot control my anger’. While it may be
true due to any reason; it is just not enough to avoid the resultant
consequences thereafter. It is critical to understand that you will end up
doing more damage to yourself than others.</span></span><span style="color: #555555; font-family: arial;"> </span></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-left: 0.5in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">• When you don’t have full knowledge of the subject or
situation: It is not possible to be a master at everything. However, it is in
our best interest to remain silent and control our urge to speak up and subject
ourselves to insults.</span></span><span style="color: #555555; font-family: arial;"> </span></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-left: 0.5in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">• When your words aren’t valued: When your words aren’t valued
and your opinion doesn’t matter, be sure enough not to provide any unsolicited
advice. It’s in our best interests to avoid even our presence in such groups.</span></span><span style="color: #555555; font-family: arial;"> </span></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-left: 0.5in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">• When you want to observe more: When you want to expose
yourself less and observe more, silence can be golden. For example, when you
are new to a group and you want to understand the group dynamics before trying
to fit in.</span></span><span style="color: #555555; font-family: arial;"> </span></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-left: 0.5in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Silence is sometimes more
effective in conveying the message; more than the words themselves. Being
silent, especially during the time we are angry, helps us channel our thoughts
and take better decisions. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white; margin-left: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #555555;">Controlling our anger is
not at all an easy task, however, it is not impossible. It requires a lot of practice.
There are lot of techniques in anger management. It is advisable to take up one
immediately that is result oriented. Once we start adopting the techniques that
work well for us, we will soon realize that silence is certainly golden.</span><b><o:p></o:p></b></span></p><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-8772003983948375623" itemprop="articleBody" style="background-color: #fff0ee; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; width: 570px;"><div class="MsoNormal"><i><span face="arial, "sans-serif"" lang="EN-US" style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Thanks a lot!

These terms are easy to relate, for people from sales background. In basic
sales training these terms are taught extensively, with many examples. It is
critical that they understand these terms well. Their success in sales is directly
dependent on a clear insight into these terms.</span></span><p></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">They are taught to
differentiate between the features of the product and the benefits it has to
offer. While executing a sale, they are coached to explain the features of the
product and sell the benefits of it. Although the product may be feature rich, it sells mainly because the buyer finds it beneficial.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">In this post we will
discuss as to how most people tend to get confused with the process of managing
relationships Vis a Vis buying a product.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">While buying a product it
is only natural to think, what is in it for me? Buying a commodity is an
investment in money. Hence it is only prudent that we decide on it after
weighing the need, cost and how beneficial the product is to us.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Unfortunately, what’s in
it for me? This mindset has cascaded in the way we are managing our
relationships too. We are too occupied in looking at the relationship in one
way. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><b><i><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">We tend to ignore or
forget that if we treat relationships as a commodity. Then relationships tend to behave as a commodity.<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></b></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">In a failing
relationship, many things may go wrong, few of them are as follows:<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">• It may malfunction as a product does, <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">• It may stop providing the desired outcome it was originally
intended for.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">• One or both parties may just lose interest, as we do with a
product after a certain period.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">• One or both parties may start comparing and liking a newer
product rather than the present one.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><b><i><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The worst part is of all
this will happen without warning, should the initial signs be ignored.<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></b></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The good news is that
these things can be avoided, if we act on time. Relationships should be
nurtured with love and care. They are unique in nature and need special
attention. Unlike products that come with a ‘Use by date’, flourishing
relationships last long most of the time ‘Lifelong’.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Our mindset and choices
make the difference in managing relationships that we make; whether we choose
to make it a fragile one or a long lasting one. Relationships are more than an
investment. They are an integral part of our life.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">A product may go out of
fashion, become outdated and not relevant anymore. A good relationship will
only strengthen over time. Good memories from the past and a hope of a great
future sustain and strengthen any relationship.</span></span></p><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #fff0ee; color: #222222;"><i><span face="arial, "sans-serif"" lang="EN-US" style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Thanks a lot!

the name of religion, power and geographical boundaries etc. The sad part of it
is these changes are irreversible and result in major catastrophes. These
changes are happening at such a rapid phase that it is challenging the very
future of the world itself. People for whom hate is a way of life are getting
innovative at means of spreading it. It is really unfortunate that it is
working well for them. People for their vested interests are actively promoting
hatred and fueling wars.</span></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #555555; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Today, I want to share with you a real-life
incident, a small experience, which I came across. The other day there was an
electrical equipment delivery person with his helper trying to unload a
refrigerator, which he had to deliver from his pickup truck. The refrigerator
was a huge one and hence it was difficult to unload it just by themselves. This
person asked a passerby in the local language (Hindi) “Bhai thoda madath
karoge” the passerby replied “bilkul is duniya me aaye hi hum madath karneko” <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #555555; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">{<b><i>For the benefit of my readers from various
parts of the world, I will translate it to English}<o:p></o:p></i></b></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="color: #555555; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The delivery guy asked the passerby “Brother can you help us
with unloading”<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b><i><span style="color: #555555; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The passerby replied “Of course, the purpose of me coming into
this world is to help others” <o:p></o:p></span></span></i></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #555555; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Now these two people are absolute strangers
and met for the first time in their life. We too normally help people in our
day-to-day life. However, I was thoroughly impressed by the mindset and his
eagerness to help others. His proactive approach to helping people was
commendable and reflected his way of thinking.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #555555; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The words from the passerby really left
a strong impression in my mind and influenced me a lot. I was intrigued by the
thought that if everyone followed this approach towards, the world today would
be such a great place than it is now. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #555555; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">It was only natural that I looked upon him as
my role model and tried to mirror his mindset ever since then. I started
actively looking for opportunities to help people since then. Now, for me it no
longer matters how it changes the world, it certainly has changed mine for
good.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #555555; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The world is in dire need of Good Samaritans
like these. I am sure most of you, if not all, are already helping others
whenever and wherever possible. Doing it with this mindset, eagerness and
proactively looking for opportunities will only better the world for you and the people who you touch. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #555555; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Like they say, <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

things to different people. For some, it may be a hefty bank balance, for
others it may be property etc. etc. It is only natural for us to have a goal in
life, work hard towards and fulfill our dreams. It is the way we secure our
life and the lives of our loved ones. It is a different thing that some people even
commit crimes or are involved in illegal means to amass wealth.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The thought process of
securing a comfortable life for self and for loved ones is only natural and
absolutely fine. It is how we plan to better our life and lifestyle. However,
the point here is that considering money as the only form of wealth is an
incorrect narrative. People who can relate to this may have seen many problems
that just can’t be resolved with money. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Realizing that there are
different forms of wealth, which we all have the means and ability to possess,
is important and necessary. These forms of wealth don’t come with a price tag
and are invaluable. We all possess it in some form or the other. A conscious
effort to get rich further in these forms of wealth will only better our life
and our surroundings. Some ways to recognize these forms of wealth are as
follows:<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">• <b><i>Spending quality time with family and friends is wealth.<o:p></o:p></i></b></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><i>• Happiness is wealth, spreading happiness is spreading
wealth.<o:p></o:p></i></b></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><i>• Giving up hate and forgiving is wealth.<o:p></o:p></i></b></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><i>• Doing small things that matter for others is wealth.<o:p></o:p></i></b></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><i>• Health is wealth.</i></b><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">We may have made some
wrong choices in the past. However, it doesn’t mean that we cannot attempt to
better our present and have a fulfilling life for the future. Considering the
above and realizing them as a form of wealth too; as important as money, in
itself is an achievement. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Our ability to ‘Give’ is
a way that ensures we can lead a fulfilling life. We can give only what we
have. Giving small things or small experiences to people that matter a lot to
them. Sometimes it is just your time that people need. What you give will
always remain with you forever, as a memory of a rich experience the other person
had because of you.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p>
</p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">It is very unfortunate
that people most of the time fail to understand this simple thing.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-1220525303430166516" itemprop="articleBody" style="background-color: #fff0ee; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; width: 570px;"><div class="MsoNormal"><i><span face="arial, "sans-serif"" lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">Thanks a lot!

meet many new people, both in our personal and professional lives. Few of them
are people in our neighborhood, at our work place or when we are out on a
journey etc. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">When we have a journey
ahead, we plan extensively and work out many things to make our journey a
pleasant and memorable one. We don’t leave things to chance. Also, we plan
the journey ourselves, nobody else plans on our behalf. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">We do not get to choose
people who travel with us, yet we are hopeful and look forward to the
opportunity of having good company along. It all depends mostly on how we
establish a great connection.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">How different is our life
then? If we relate our life as a journey, it would only make sense to put
efforts into making it a pleasant one; by establishing good connections with
the people, we meet. We meet some of them just for a few times and some form a
good connection over a period of time. The onus is however on us to make great
connections along the way. The guidelines for making a journey a pleasant one or
a life a meaningful one is pretty much the same. The tips to build great
connections are simple and a few of them are follows:<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #555555;">• <b>Your powerful smile and a few good words to go with it:</b>
People underestimate the power of their own smile. I am sure that people who
use this attribute will know the benefits that follow, it will have a magical
effect on the connections you make. People identify you with your smile and
remember you for your gesture. <b><i>It is not about pleasing everybody. It is in
fact expressing your genuineness.</i></b></span><span style="color: #555555;"><b><i> </i></b></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #555555;">• <b>People enjoy and appreciate this virtue in you:</b> It is the
same with us too, right? It is not at all an exaggeration to say that people
will go out of their way (in their own capacity) to return the gesture back.
People start missing you and look forward to your company.</span><span style="color: #555555;"> </span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">• <b>Being engaged, sensitive and sympathetic in conversations:</b>
Expressing happiness or sorrow when they share their emotions; even if it
doesn’t matter to us in any way. Once you start meeting people this way, people
reciprocate in a similar way. It is only natural that people will want and
cherish your company.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p>
</p><p style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">This is a very easy method that you can start using right away,
if you aren’t doing it already. It will
have a phenomenal improvement to your own quality of life. It doesn’t matter if
it fails to get a desired result in some cases. It only matters that you do it
each and every time you meet people, especially new ones. It won’t be long before you notice the benefits of this virtue. Also, you will be surprised to see a
noticeable difference in how people react.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span face=""Helvetica",sans-serif" style="color: #555555; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br /></span></p><div class="MsoNormal" style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px;"><i><span face="arial, "sans-serif"" lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">Thanks a lot!

a busy place forever. In this busy schedule, it is only natural that we are
busy ourselves too, so much so that we take people and sometimes situations for
granted. We tend to think that with people associated with us, simply following
a routine and following procedures will continue to give the desired outcomes
always. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">In our
day-to-day life there are several opportunities, for us to lead by example. A
critical leadership virtue is where you exhibit the behavior that sets you
apart from the rest. People notice this behavioral trait in you and get
influenced by it. It is not a surprise that such continued behavior will prompt
people to choose you as their role model. This set of people can be at your
workplace or in your personal life.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Once we make
it a habit to look for such opportunities of leading by example, we not only
provide value addition to others but to ourselves too. Once practiced to perfection
this habit becomes second nature. This expertise will touch people’s lives in
many ways. Touching someone’s life means making a positive change in someone’s
life. The following tips will guide in establishing such a path.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">• <b>Doing
the right thing always:</b> Sometimes we tend to falter from doing the right
thing or make some adjustments or making some compromises, for personal benefit
or to favor others. As leaders we should be aware that we are being observed
all the time.</span></span><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">• <b>Never
to think less of someone or wish bad for someone:</b> It is very important that
we practice this particular virtue to such an extent that it becomes our second
nature. It is important that we stay
away from the temptation of judging others.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">• <b>Standing
up for the right thing:</b> It is critical that you stand up for the right
thing; even if you are the only person standing.</span></span><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></p><p>
</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Practicing
these virtues is easier said than done. However, it is not impossible. Handling situations and taking decisions
based on the above guidelines is a good way to start. Initially, little effort
is needed to get used to this shift in the thought pattern. This paradigm shift
in your behavior will not go unnoticed and phenomenally impact you connect
with people for good. As a result, over time you will notice that people’s way
of looking at you will change and they too will start reciprocating in the same
manner.</span><span style="font-size: 14pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="color: red; font-family: arial;"><b><i>As they say: Write something that is worth reading about or do something that is worth writing about.</i></b></span></span></p><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-799094297042279057" itemprop="description articleBody" style="background-color: #fff0ee; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; width: 570px;"><div class="MsoNormal"><i><span face="arial, "sans-serif"" lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">Thanks a lot!

of come in all shapes and sizes. The causes are mostly self-made and sometimes
it may occur due to external factors that we don’t control; not to mention the
worries and tensions that are associated with it<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The problems that we are referring
to in this post are non-technical in nature. It’s not like we are trying to
address a major civil engineering calculation error in the construction of a
dam or something like that. We are discussing people's general problems and the
softer aspects of it. The general day-to-day problems caused and faced by
people in their professional and personal lives.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The reason most of the
problems are self-made is not because we simply enjoy being stuck with a
problem. It is our miscalculation, misinterpretation, misjudgment, over
expectation etc. The list is exhaustive. Irrespective of whether the problem is
self-made or due to external factors, the only option left to us is that we
face the problem that lies in front of us. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">In this post we will
discuss the basic problems of a problem. In other words, why is it sometimes
so difficult to resolve an issue? It is important to understand these factors
before we actually go about solving complex problems that we face. These tips
are helpful to clearly define an issue we are facing and the way to go about resolving it. They are as follows:<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white; margin-left: 0.5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #555555;">·<span style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal;">
</span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="color: #555555;"><b>Defining the problem:</b> Many times, we don’t define the issue at hand and hence fail to find a solution to it. For example, are we facing similar issues with other people or is it with this
one particular person? If it is with one particular person, then the
methodology of resolution differs from facing the issue with multiple
people.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></span></p><p style="background: white; margin-left: 0.5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #555555;">·<span style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal;">
</span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="color: #555555;"><b>Identifying the root
cause:</b> This is a critical step. Unless we identify the root cause of a problem
and address it, it is more likely that we will continue to face similar issues in the future. Methods like ‘5 Why Technique’ are quite helpful in identifying
the root cause. In general, asking ourselves the reason’ Why’ 5 times will help
dig deep and help us locate at the exact reason of an issue. Each time we get an
answer to the previous ‘Why’, the same exercise needs to be followed until we
reach the root cause.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></span></p><p style="background: white; margin-left: 0.5in; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -0.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="color: #555555;">·<span style="font-feature-settings: normal; font-kerning: auto; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variation-settings: normal; line-height: normal;">
</span></span><!--[endif]--><span style="color: #555555;"><b>Identifying the emotion
involved:</b> Surprisingly a majority of issues we face are results of Egos
involved; ego of our self or the other person involved. If we are serious about
resolving the issue, open communication setting aside the ego is the only way
forward.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoListParagraph"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></span></p><p>
</p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The problem that we face
tends to create a roadblock and blur our mind seeing through the resolution to
it. It is always recommended to take expert advice or a third-party perspective
to a situation when we fail to see the real issue in clarity. These tips will
not only help resolve our present issues, but over time will build as a rich
experience. These methods may not take away all the problems in life but are
certain to create substantial improvement to the overall quality of life.</span><span face="Helvetica, sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #fff0ee; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px;"><i><span face="arial, "sans-serif"" lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">Thanks a lot!

Sanskrit word which literally means ‘nothing is mine’. People who come across this word for the
first time find it difficult to understand the exact meaning of it. Nirmama
doesn’t mean that you own nothing, instead it means that nothing owns you. It
is a balanced state of mind.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">This context is complex
in nature. It is a higher form of discipline and comes with a lot of practice.
However, once we start practicing it over a period of time, we will see that it
will have a magical transformation, in the way we perceive things. It is relevant
to the different aspects of professional and personal life. The result,
however, varies from person to person depending on the ability and priorities
of the person in question.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">People are no strangers
to challenges in life and the worries that follow. It could be a challenging
situation at the workplace or a difficult phase in a relationship. It may be
nerve wrecking in severe cases. In some situations, we could be fighting a
losing battle and continue doing so without any point. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">When we train ourselves
on the concept of Nirmama, it does nothing to the situation itself, instead it changes our perception of the outcome and provides clarity in our decision
making. A few tips to change the perception and facilitate better judgement, in
important situations are as follows:<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">• Getting our actual priorities right: The world’s hard enough
as it is, we do not want to make it further harder on ourselves, by pursuing pointless
misplaced priorities in life.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">• Getting the hang of ourselves: Not pursuing a blind love for
a person or a thing, beyond a reasonable limit that starts messing up our own
life.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">• This too shall pass: Not getting overwhelmed or worked up
with situations, outcomes of situations. Not getting or taking things
personally.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">• It’s just a matter of time: Do good and be good to
yourselves first; bad surroundings and bad company will always result in
negative outcomes for you.</span></span><span style="color: #555555; font-family: arial;"> </span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The situations may vary
with different people, but when this approach is followed, it is always bound
to give a positive outcome. Furthermore, it leaves you in a happier state of
mind as you have done your part right. These principles when applied will
result in a paradigm shift to our perception of life itself.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: #fff0ee; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px;"><i><span face="arial, "sans-serif"" lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">Thanks a lot!

In People/Team Management – overcoming them.<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyydZeHRp2HB_1n4i3Ielc7ZYFh8kirhAE4TVHkCXY_C0hMzHyqpmyYdHz4N0ZdG5IxQDbYOEEIJBL-2HWHirDuC2x6ipZErIFywBOiNIFx7tf4zWlB9oU_y2MC-KJsoidzlReZF6LALtXgl5mFqFB-_L0HDAINsJW8y_ikro7wimMLkNWY2qL0lMniQ/s1280/hate%20and%20anger.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="1280" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyydZeHRp2HB_1n4i3Ielc7ZYFh8kirhAE4TVHkCXY_C0hMzHyqpmyYdHz4N0ZdG5IxQDbYOEEIJBL-2HWHirDuC2x6ipZErIFywBOiNIFx7tf4zWlB9oU_y2MC-KJsoidzlReZF6LALtXgl5mFqFB-_L0HDAINsJW8y_ikro7wimMLkNWY2qL0lMniQ/s320/hate%20and%20anger.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p><span style="font-family: arial;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #555555;">Hatred and the associated
anger are dangerous, yet very common emotions that we experience a lot. Hate
and anger are like twins that are rarely devoid of each other. We all can
relate to hate in some way or the other, we hate a person, a thing, even certain situation. Hatred doesn’t develop overnight, usually it is sometimes
one incident or experience that causes it, and similar repetitive occurrences
help it grow deeper and stronger.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #555555;"> </span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Once the feeling of hatred
for some person starts to take shape, it is only bound to grow over time. The
next step is multiple layers building up, ensuring that hatred is hidden safely
within and never ever gone. The source of these layers can be anything such as
misunderstanding, reading the situation incorrectly, or simply misleading words
from others who benefit out of the situation.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Hatred along with the
resultant anger are so dangerous and powerful emotions that it doesn’t allow us
to even imagine or to reason why we hate it so much. In severe cases, people go
off bounds. The reasons could be only that stronger to and justifiable to the
person in question. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Sometimes people tend to
go off bounds to pursue the agenda even if their own reputation or in worst
case scenarios put their own life at risk. If it is not addressed to on
time, it will have harmful results that create some irreversible changes to
life. It has the capability of wreaking havoc in both personal and professional
lives. I am sure most people can relate to such instances.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The point here is
whatever kind of hate that we harbor towards others is bound to disturb and
destroy our peace and a part of ourselves too in the process. In this post we
will discuss general hatred people tend to have towards others and ways to
diffuse it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Another sure sign to observe is that we tend to justify our decisions and actions, however ridiculous they may seem. </span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Some kind of hatred needs time to heal. However, the above tips can help us develop a positive mindset
and speed up the process. The compelling need to stay away from negative
emotions, fill our life and others with happiness, work like boosters in the
process. The idea of living a meaningful life for ourselves and our
surroundings is such a fascinating experience in itself; an act worth pursuing.</span><span face="Helvetica, sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><br /></p>Vasuhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03177444494178851551noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8485694410276571938.post-37065405495153258832023-04-01T16:08:00.001+05:302023-04-01T16:10:26.974+05:30Career bucket list vs Life bucket list.

experiences or achievements that a person hopes to accomplish during their
lifetime.</span> It is highly recommended to have one as it gives a sense of
direction and a satisfaction of achievement; both in the career and life. Most
people can relate to it and in fact have specific plans and goals for both
their career as well as life. Generally, people get confused thinking a career
bucket list and a life bucket list to be one and the same. They are two
different things altogether. We will discuss in detail about both.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; color: #202124;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Bucket lists are categorized by what goes into
them. The career bucket list is time specific and has to be achieved in a set pattern;
it needs meticulous planning, and a systematic approach. The decision to create
a career bucket list starts as early as our higher education. Some people have
set plans for a career even from their schooling stage with the influence of family
or surroundings. Once the basic idea is established it is then pursued as it progresses
along with each step.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

different stages of the career on a specified path at a set time. Success at each stage is a testimonial that you have put in the required efforts and
have achieved it on time. A few benefits of a successful career bucket list
plan and its execution are as follows:<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Life bucket list items are a little different, they have more to
do with financial discipline derived from financial independence. They can be
achieved whilst achieving the career bucket list. A strong and an early career plan
establishes a means to pursue an ambitious life bucket list. These items are more
meaningful to you as a person. Things that go in this list are a reflection of
who you actually are as a person and the list of things that you want to do in
your life.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">It is highly recommended that people are provided with this kind
of orientation from an early stage of their life. This will ensure to stand a

of our actions, choices we made and decisions that we took in the past. There
is a point in our life when we think about our past and wish for a few things
that could have been done differently; a few decisions or choices that we may
regret a lot. Some things we are glad that worked out well for us. It
is only natural that we think like that. However, there is no point in either
rejoicing or regretting it for a long period of time; hence the phrase ‘don’t
live in your past’. Unfortunately, life doesn’t come with a rewind button.
Moving on is the only prudent step that will help.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The best thing that we
can do is pick up the learning from our past and based on that take wise and
informed steps that will be beneficial for our future. Similarly, thinking
relentlessly about our future seldom does any good. In our constant struggle to
fight the mistakes of the past and the uncertainty of the future, we ignore
enjoying the present to the fullest extent. Understanding that our present will
eventually become our past in the future is very important. It is of no use if
we continue to have similar regrets in the future too.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">While we can’t control
each and everything and live life to perfection. We can certainly lay down a
few principles that can guide us through. Few things that can help get clarity
of the process are:<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">• Past is for learning, not living and tormenting ourselves.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">• Pickup learning, follow your passion and cherish the
present.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">• It is never too late for anything.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">• Do what makes you happy. (of course, within boundaries)<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">• You can never plan enough for the future, stop pushing and
punishing yourself.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The world is ever
demanding, it is perfectly ok if we are unable to keep up sometimes; we can do
only so much at a time. Allowing worries to reach a point that starts telling
upon our health is such a shame. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">In our day-to-day life we
come across so many people who have quit successful careers to pursue life
close to Nature in remote places. We should be able to imagine, for such people,
how important the things that matter to them are. (Definitely not suggesting stop whatever you are doing and pack your bags). <o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The things that matter to
us vary from person to person.it could be picking up a music lesson to one
person or could be gardening or sports to another. The point is identifying our
passion point, taking time and efforts even if it needs to be in order to
pursue that; because that will help you stay happy and provide you with a
feeling of contentment.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></span></p><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-2604877004845079181" itemprop="articleBody" style="background-color: #fff0ee; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; width: 570px;"><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><div class="MsoNormal"><i><span face="arial, "sans-serif"" lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">Thanks a lot!

key drivers that ensure its smooth running. These drivers work in tandem and
are critical in ensuring a desired result. Similarly, there are specific drivers
involved in planning a career and life too. It is critical to understand these
drivers with utmost clarity and work on them on time. A lack of clarity in these drivers will be detrimental and may sometimes off-track the very plan
itself.</span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Career is an ongoing
journey and has different stages, a Beginner’s stage, Mid-level and a Senior
level. The drivers among the various stages of career have two components fixed
and variable. The fixed drivers remain the same to a specific career path. It
is in fact a pre requisite for a role; like acquiring a particular skill set,
personality development etc. A quick reference to my earlier post will help get
a better understanding of it.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The variable drivers are, however, softer aspects of the role specific to an individual point of view. It differs
from person to person. It primarily constitutes the motivational factors
specific to an individual. The motivational factors in choosing a particular career
path and being successful at it may differ among people within the same group
too. These variable motivational factors that may include, standing out in a
particular profession, to emerge as a SME {Subject Matter Expert), making more
money etc.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Pursuing a passion will
provide a head start for success at career growth; when pursuing a passion an
individual is automatically motivated. These are a few tips that will help gain
clarity at the variable drivers and thereby establish a successful career path.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>

driver to most people even from the beginning stages of their career. It is
essential to understand that money is just a byproduct of the efforts that an
individual is putting in establishing a career. Focus should be more on important
aspects like acquiring new skills that will complement the present role,
overall personality development, making meaningful new connections and
developing a positive frame of mind. <b><i>WHEN YOU ARE SUCCESSFUL AT YOU CAREER MONEY

lot of changes to both our professional and personal lives. Sometimes it
involves a change in the workplace; for a better job or great perks. It may also
require relocation to a new place. Most of the time these changes are our own
choices. On few occasions we may not have a say, and may be compelled to face
such changes.</span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">These situations are
common and can be challenging or rewarding. Challenging because we could get
complacent in the present role and be hesitant to take up a new change.
Rewarding as we never know what is in store for us in the new role.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">We tend to grow
complacent because we have worked so hard to make many successful connections,
achieved many milestones in the present job. The fear of the unknown in the new
opportunity is always there. So much so that we tend to forget that the present
job that we are in was also an unknown territory at one time in the past.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The success at this
present job was possible only because of the skills and the personality we
possess.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">In a few cases, the
experience of leaving the present organization and the very process of how it
is conducted can remain a sore memory to us for a really long time. We may feel
betrayed and the process itself in question may seem very unfair; involving a
grudge by one person or a small group of people indulging in a plot. The
transition can be very painful, considering the innumerous, selfless
contributions made by us. Here are certain tips that will help our thought process
during these testing times.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">• Don’t burn the bridges – Do not sever the connections made
by you over a period of time, painstakingly made with your skills and charisma.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">• Don’t hate the entire organization for the fault of one
person – At times we may have the urge of harboring negative thoughts, praying
for the failure of the entire organization itself just for the fault of one
person.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">• Let go of the bad experience – Do not take it personally and
let the experience not remain as a constant reminder of the pain.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">• A new learning – Mold the experience as a new learning for
identifying similar situations well in advance in the future.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><b><i>The person/s who is
responsible for such a sinister act is not new to such deeds. They would have
done it in the past or will repeat such actions in the future, with someone
else. It will remain as a testament to the character they are associated with.</i></b><o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Wisdom lies in carrying
on with focusing on the great connections that are made during the period
there; instead of carrying the hurt as a burden for the rest of the life.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The world is a small place
you never know when you will reap the benefits of your connections; hence don’t
burn the bridges that have been crossed.</span><span face="Helvetica, sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></span></p><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-2604877004845079181" itemprop="articleBody" style="background-color: #fff0ee; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; width: 570px;"><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><div class="MsoNormal"><i><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: arial, "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">Thanks a lot!

make in our day-to-day activities are a very frequent part of our life, most of
them are just casual acquaintances. A few of them grow over time and turn out
to be a stronger emotion than being just a connection between two people. Relationship
between two individuals, is a complex, time tested, strong bond made out of a
series of such connections. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></span></p><p style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">These relationships can be
formed at almost any place where people interact constantly with each other for
a long period of time, for example at the work place, in the neighborhood etc. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></span></p><p style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The factors that make a
connection transform into a relationship are diverse, it could include common
interests, a general liking, appreciation, affection or any other aspects that
complement each other.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></span></p><p style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The process of forming a
relationship may be complex and time consuming, however the fundamentals of a
good working relationship is plain and simple. It constitutes three aspects
working in conjunction namely <b>Love,
Trust and Respect.</b> <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></span></p><p style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">All relationships function

pursuing defined objectives. It has set functions for all who are a part of it.
Ideally this group of people perform different tasks assigned to them and work
as a single unit to achieve the final goal of the company. It is a goal-oriented process.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></span></p><p style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Organizational structure is critical to any business, big or
small. Businesses flourish or perish depending on the efficiency or fragility
of this system respectively. It is that vital. Hence it is very important to
understand its key drivers, ensuring it remains a well-oiled machine.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></span></p><p style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The key drivers for any organizational structure are the people who are at the helm of affairs at Mid Management Level. They form the essential link
in understanding the mission of the business from the Top Management’s point of
view and implementing the same; communicating it to their respective teams; the
Actual Workforce. Any weak link here would be detrimental to the system and
thereby to the business itself.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></span></p><p style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">An Efficient manager identifies any red flags on time, takes effective
steps in addressing the issue. Coaching, Mentoring, Motivating and in some worst
cases Punitive action are the methods to correct the errant behavior. There is
no thumb rule in applying these methods, it may vary from person to
person.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></span></p><p style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Workforce with such attitude display certain type of behavior.

if they really possess some specific set of skills as they presume. Managers
should waste no time in building a solid backup. (If the task is huge breaking it into smaller tasks could be helpful too). It is important to try and test
such a backup for time sensitive operations. A one-to-one discussion, assigning
a different role to the person in question will help eliminate the
misconception.<o:p></o:p></span></span></i></p><p style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><i><u><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></span></u></i></p><p style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The behaviors mentioned above are just a few among many other
examples. However, it is important to know that any discussions regarding
feedback, coaching and mentoring should be conducted strictly on a one-to-one basis and never discussed in a group. This will ensure that the person concerned does not feel offended or takes it personally. Similarly, any achievements,
success and laurels should always be announced in the group. It will make the
person feel special, appreciated and motivated.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;"> </span></span></p><p>

Once they are able to identify such behaviors in advance, address it
effectively and overcome the obstacles on time efficiently; they are that close
in establishing a strong organizational structure in place and thereby
successful businesses.</span><span face="Helvetica, sans-serif"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;"><span style="color: #555555;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></span></p><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-2604877004845079181" itemprop="articleBody" style="background-color: #fff0ee; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15.4px; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; width: 570px;"><div dir="ltr" trbidi="on"><div class="MsoNormal"><i><span lang="EN-US" style="color: black; font-family: arial, "sans-serif"; font-size: 11.5pt;">Thanks a lot!

These phases, while not permanent, are certainly testing times and clearly test our endurance to the limits. Many people find it hard to adjust to these phases initially; however, they slowly get used to it and figure out a way to live through it. These stages tend to bring out the extremes in us, in the process of dealing with it.</span><p></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">The highs and lows in life cause significant changes to our behavior and attitude in general. It brings out a certain persona that is usually more visible to others first, than ourselves. Let us first understand these stages in life. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Life's highs can be different to different people, for example what is a high in life to one person need not be the same to another person. Simple examples of the highs are securing a dream job, being in a powerful position in society, inheriting a fortune etc. The list is exhaustive but is usually associated with power, wealth and factors that put a person in a clear advantage.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Life's lows do not need such an elaborate explanation. It is unfortunately the most frequent phase of life that most of us can easily relate to. However, this stage too is individual specific and it is usually associated with failure, be it an important task or life in general, loss of a loved one etc. This list is huge too and is usually correlated by failure, loss, anger shame disgust etc.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">These inescapable stages of life throw our life out of gear. However, we really need to understand that these stages of life by themselves aren't no significant; than the point as to how we conduct ourselves through them. The pointers below will provide a clear understanding of these stages and helpful tips for successfully coming out of them.</span></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px; text-align: left;"><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">To emphasize enough that this is a stage of life; and not life itself (It is not permanent).</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Having a clarity of thought and not being impulsive (neither with our words nor with our actions).</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Taking measured steps guided only by the "Good" in you. Extra care to be taken not to counter the negative emotions (that are rearing to go in such situations).</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Finally believing that there is a Choice. It is not the end of the world.</span></p></blockquote><p><span style="font-family: arial;">I know these words might sound like a no brainer; but these are the areas that people falter at most of the time. These recommendations will not take you out of the bad situation. It will help you retain your good even in the worst of situations. It will change the paradigm and help you deal with such a situation effectively.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial;">Thanks a lot! I really appreciate your time reading this post.

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Apart from the said set of
people, we also have another group of people who we eventually end up getting acquainted
with; as part of growing up, neighbourhood, our career, travels etc. Let us for
the ease of understanding we will name them as Group 1 and Group 2. Though what
we discuss in this post is generic to all relationships, it is the Group 2 that
we would be focussing more in this post. The reason we need to understand this
group is that it is formed as a result of our own choices. In a way they define
us. Let us first understand the process of how we make such acquaintances.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">These based on the conversations
that we have with them, matching of our likes and dislikes, the amount of time
we are associated with them etc. We are likely to form our observations among
those conversations. We identify and associate them with certain traits. We try
to match it with our own experience and expectations. If the score is right we
tend to like that person a lot, irrespective of how that person may treat or
behave with us or others in the long run. Few pointers that help establish such
great connections:<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It helps us a lot to identify
genuine well wishers in life, they are hard to find. After identifying them,
make efforts to connect with them even if it involves some small sacrifices. Once
a connection is established, reciprocate the feeling and treasure them for life.
Never ever hurt someone who likes you, because the world is shrinking rapidly relationship
wise; as such people are irreplaceable in life. This Group 2 set of friends
sometimes give us valuable advice when we have some major issues with Group1 and
vice versa.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
