Do you have the courage to be disliked?

by

We do not have the courage to be disliked. Getting liked by others is the most basic and social need of us human beings. But if you look at successful people they dared to be different, to take the path where everyone will frown upon.

Can we take that path? Can we build this muscle of being disliked?

I think we can, if we have self-confidence and gratitude with us.

These are not easy, firstly, the biggest challenge is to change the perception of failure. Secondly “Whatever happens, happens for good”, we should count our blessings. If we consistently keep these, we can be different and succeed.

And this doesn’t necessarily mean that we have to be rude or impolite to show a different path, it means being humble but firm and going down the path, which we think is right.

Perform at the next level…

“If you’re waiting for that Promotion to perform well and change the World, it ain’t gonna happen. Ever. People get promoted when you’re already performing consistently at the Next Level. And the best way to strategize is what if you were doing the Manager’s job itself”

Bigger Pain…

by

Riding in a two-wheeler is not a bigger pain, the bigger pain is to be stuck in traffic for 2 hours in a luxury car.

Living in a small house is not a bigger pain, the bigger pain is to pay EMI with blood & sweat for a much bigger house that you couldn’t accommodate.

Living alone is not a bigger pain, bigger pain is living around with people who are friends or family but don’t care about you.

Living with a body with regular exercise is not a bigger pain, bigger pain is to live a body with too many health problems.

Toiling in day-to-day life is not bigger pain, bigger pain is to keep toiling without any purpose.

Getting frustrated with life problems is not a bigger pain, the bigger pain is always to be frustrated with life.

Get Lucky…

by

It is a funny thing:-

The more I practice the luckier I get.

The more I study the luckier I get.

The more I toil the luckier I get.

The more I dare the luckier I get.

The more I embrace discomfort the luckier I get.

And everyone says they don’t have luck with them.

What is your data strategy?

by

Data strategy for large companies involves these two orientations:

  1. Defense – Strong defense is characterized by a single source of truth (SSOT) architecture, robust data governance and controls, and a more centralized data-management organization.
  2. Offense – Strong offense is characterized by multiple versions of the truth (MVOTs) architecture, high data flexibility, and a more decentralized data management organization. \

The table gives the summary:

How do you assess what is your strategy? It has to be a mix of both defense and offense, here is the survey that can be used for your strategy position.
