If our mind is intertwined with digital, it cannot perform creatively. So make sure your mind goes analog, practice non-digital.
And be patient in your analog environment, your creativity will come.
Win or lose a game…
Does it make a difference if u win or lose a game?
As long as you keep playing.
As long as you keep enjoying.
As long as you keep growing.
As long as you got a company to play.
As long as you value others to play and be valued as well.
As long as participate as a player.
Keep playing don’t worry about a win or a loss.
Do the most impactful task…
If I tell you that daily you need to accomplish only one thing? What that should be? And if that task is accomplished you will reach your goal.
In this case, how will you break your goal and how will you decide on that one single task per day?
But rest assured if you set a goal and have one single task accomplished per day for that goal…you will achieve it.
As long as your goal is not moving and you know how to break it down.
Stop Calling Your Team a “Family”
You might assume describing your team as a “family” is a good thing. After all, that word describes a group that is close and supportive of one another. But selling your team on the idea of being a family can encourage unhealthy dynamics where personal and professional lines begin to blur, undying loyalty is expected, and people feel taken for granted.
Instead, you want to acknowledge the transactional nature of professional relationships while also encouraging trust, respect, and fun. Rather than sending a family-centered message like “We’re all in this together,” try “We share the same purpose and goals” (making clear what those purposes and goals are).
Set boundaries around personal and professional time; outline when and where it’s appropriate to work (like not on vacation!). Let everyone know that time off is not only encouraged but expected.
Finally, acknowledge that most people won’t stay at the same company for their entire career and that it’s okay for people to move on when they’ve outgrown their roles.
Don’t Be Afraid to Ask for What You Need at Work…
Asking for what you need from someone at work can be challenging — even downright intimidating. But as with all relationships, it’s important to advocate for yourself. Here’s how to do it.
- Build up goodwill ahead of time. For example, you might try sending this colleague an article you think they would enjoy, inviting them out for a coffee, or expressing appreciation for their work. Then, make your ask. The more positive interactions you have with this person, the more likely they are to be authentically invested in your needs.
- Leave room for dialogue, flexibility, and compromise. Making demands makes the other person feel obligated to say yes, but making requests shows consideration and gives them an out. This might sound like asking someone in your network, “I know that you have a knack for making connections, and I would love to be introduced to someone in your LinkedIn network. Is that something you’d be comfortable doing? And if not, I understand.” Be direct, but also be willing to move on if their answer is no.
- Don’t take rejection personally. Instead, get curious. Ask follow-up questions to better understand the “why” behind the no. This will help you get to yes next time.
Can u be different?
Make way for different,
Even if it may hurt sometimes it gives you a better way forward.
It might not always be a good choice, but most of the time it is.
So give it a try.
Work is worship?
Can we still say work is worship today?
Even though it is interspersed with mobile, media & what-nots,
Even though it is tainted with materialistic gains,
Even though it is maligned with people’s politics,
Even though it is mixed with fear of our bosses to judge,
Even though it has to be picked up from the leftover of others,
But in the end, if you are getting work, be grateful and worship it.
Because at least you are progressing in this chaos with your work!
Pause…
Take a pause,
Hold still,
Enjoy the time,
Enjoy present,
You will never get this time back,
So ride along with it,
Be in the present.
Be considerate but don’t be fearful…
Consideration for others is reasonable but not to the level of being fearful. At the same time be considerate of everyone whether it is:
friend or foe,
boss or subordinate,
senior or junior,
rich or poor.
And most of it all be considerate of yourself.
How to improve your presentation immediately…
Follow these rules to immediately improve your presentation.
- Make slides that reinforce your words not repeat them.
- Create slides that demonstrate, with emotional proof, that what you’re saying is true, not just accurate.
- No more than six words on a slide. EVER.
- Don’t use cheesy images, use proper stock images.
- No dissolves, spins, or other transitions. Keep it simple.
- Surprise them – Put up a slide that triggers an emotional reaction in the audience. Let them sit up and want to know what you’re going to say that fits in with that image.
