90% of the time, good recruits are the ones jobs chase and not the ones who chase the jobs.
Good recruits know how to create value for the organisation and, in turn, for themselves. The ones who are chasing the jobs are generally non-performers who are facing a layoff threat or candidates whose egos are more important than their organisation.

No one will publicly glorify you for sharing a good idea, lending a shoulder or helping them financially or emotionally.
Because the one who has received any of the above feels you are sharing their success, and they fear giving you the credit because they want to own it all. Gratitude is the most missing emotion in today’s world.
But the one who is at the giving end doesn’t need gratitude. Because the giver’s account is sorted, he needs to feel more contented with the credit received from God for his goodness. Expectation is ending the whole purpose into nastiness.

Blessings, wishes and prayers are our strengths and fortune.
These are the ones that keep us going. Off lately, we have been chasing everything other than these.

Sending children to foreign countries for higher education is fashion or status or better education. No parents would want to send their children away from them.
We, as Indians, are speaking of having doubled the number of universities, colleges, and education institutions in the past decade. Mere increasing the number of colleges doesn’t solve the problem. But the challenge is the quality of education, commitment of teachers, competitiveness, exposure, and the ratio of students to teachers- all of it is falling short. We are trying to stop people from having their weddings in other countries so that we can route the income to India. And here, we see considerable revenue for the government by diverting the income spent on education by lakhs of students going abroad for studies. We have a reputation for inventing many scientific and mathematical theories in India. We boast of all the Gurukul system and the oldest Universities in India. Hasn’t the time arrived to focus on the education system to stop this seepage?

No man is perfect; no relation is. How wrong or how right is any person in any relationship?
There is no yardstick to measure. However, there are specific fundamental right and wrongs in any relation. Being mindful of these rights and wrongs maintains the grace and dignity of the relationship

Ask anyone about anything; 90% will say they know it all. You fall short of one life to even achieve excellence in 10% of what you do.
Knowledge constantly challenges you. And here we are pointing out at others’ wisdom, trying to show off that we can be masters in others’ skills or look down upon others’ knowledge. If only man had the wisdom to focus on the knowledge he has to gain rather than trying to overstep on other’s confidence in knowledge, he would have acquired more than he had been able to gather all the while.

When we are a child, we know only good and bad. There is a clear demarcation.
There is no good in bad, bad in good, situational good or bad, view point of good and bad, justifiable bad, good and bad convenience, for self benefit, for others’ benefit, moderation between them. With age, we have so many versions of good and bad. Did we grow wise or only shrewd and selfish with age?

When we see or speak of Entrepreneurship, it is about team, Leadership, Focus, Idea, Self-belief, Visionary, Success – all the words that depict the strength and positivity of a human being. In contrast, we see employees projected as victims who need the organisation to motivate, work-life balance, family time, and engagement driven by the organisation, need a complaint box to complain about anything and everything under the sun, and require learning and development support.
It seems like we are speaking of two ends that never meet. They work for the same goals organisation, but there is one who has zero negativity, loves problems, is clear about his thoughts, is uninfluenced by any person or situation concerning his goal, and doesn’t make an issue about work-life balance after working 24/7, has super powers and is above all reasons. On the other hand, we have the employee who feels he is working for the employer with no motivation other than the salary and perks, jeopardised by the process, a victim from all dimensions- society, family, team, Managers, doing a favour on the Organization so on and so forth.
When the gap in thought process reduces, we are almost in the best corporate environment, providing for each other’s mutual respect.
