So different, yet so same.

 

World is full of different people, coming from different races. It is a mix of cultures. We all are like different faces, bodies, thinking, actions and yet coming from same source.

Its like sun rays coming from same source, The Sun, scattering at different objects and later, taking form/ direction/ color accordingly. Or water tides coming out of same ocean, hitting various substances/ objects, and taking its way or direction.

We are short, long, black, white, slim, fat, european, asian. Whatever we are, our source is the same. The blood that flows into our veins, the heart that palpitates inside our body, the neurons that form inside our brain- everything, literally everything and every part of our body works the same way.

We are different, we are unique, yet we are same. The similarity of the functionality in which our organs work and that we have come from same source is something that makes us incredible.

No matter from which place or country one has come from, one should always respect others. The love, respect and care that we give to others today, will reach us one day, may be through another person. The faces may change, but the life force that flows inside all of us is same.

That’s why, we are so different, yet so same.

Time to think and act responsibly

Human being is quite a talented species in this world. Man has created and brought new things in this world. Whatever we have today is a result of someone’s thinking, planning and unstoppable efforts.

So many discoveries and inventions have taken birth into this world. Science and technology has reached another heights too. Evolution of industries have given economic strength and new hopes to the world.

Today´s world is not the same, we had decades ago. We have so many comforts and means to resolve, what we want. We kept on making, developing and growing.

We can easily get canned food, milk, fish, oil, cement, paint or whatever we wish. All this comes into variety of packaging. We are happy that things have become so easy, that whatever we need for our general household use, is readily available in supermarkets or shops.

All this evolution or development has also brought the need to dispose off or recycle properly. Are we doing our part in getting items recycled?

So many stores, companies, organizations and governments had been doing campaigns related to it. Although we know the importance of it, yet we fail to put efforts on it.

Items like chemicals, paints, batteries and plastic etc. need to be disposed or recycled, in order to not contaminate earth. Our rivers, lakes and oceans are also getting contaminated day by day. Our planet earth is in serious need of taking preventive measures and bringing a change. Why do not we take the responsibility to collect separately tetra packs, tin, plastic, organic and inorganic wastes and take it to our nearby facilities, where they have provision of recycling? Instead of throwing cans of soda, soft drinks, plastic bags etc. on roads or dustbins, it will be a good practice to pay some attention on sorting and getting all recycled. It does not need much time or effort, but can help us keep earth clean and safe for us and our future generations.

 

 

Recycling begins with you and me. Everyone, in spite of their age, should pay attention to certain things. Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.                                                                                                                            

1. Refuse to use plastic bags. Burning of this plastic contaminates earth and leads in pollution. For shopping, take your own environment friendly bags.
2. Reduce energy consumption by choosing energy saving light bulbs.
3. Use solar cookers for cooking purposes, solar panels to produce electricity, as technology has developed so much and we can use solar energy for numerous purposes. Save electricity and this way, you spend less on your electricity bills too.
4. Avoid non- recyclable plastic material for day to day use. It does not only contaminate earth, but using plastic containers for food items, can cause cancer even if the same is using to heat the food.
5. Your water bottles, cold drinks and beer cans can cause death of numerous ocean animals. Be wise and help to get these animals save, by not consuming plastic bottles and cans. Rather use environment friendly material for carrying water. You can also keep a good eye over your daily water consumption. Good for your health too.

Avoid everything that can´t go into recycling bins.

In my opinion, it is today´s need and responsibility of every person, so that our animals, birds and kids can have better environment. The future is in our hands. We just need to put these practices into best use, in sake of clean and safe environment. Our future generations will enjoy the fruit of our efforts to keep our planet safe for them.

Get involved and be part of the solution, not the problem.

 

Secret of great business

Many new companies open and close. People start new businesses with ideas and sometimes fail to administer them well, resulting in sheer failure. On the contrary, others even if start with less capital yet keeps on going and flourishing day by day. So, where lies the secret of a great business or a company? It lies in the growth of its employees.

A company is a group of people working together on a same goal, planning, communication, execution, analysis and thus improving. People who share same goals produce good results only with positive minds, attitude, hard work and cheerful spirits.

Sad but true, many of us when receive a job, take it as guaranteed. This thinking works as a blockage in our mind, resulting us in less productive employees. In order to get goal achieving productive results, some tasks are continuously required.

There is a proverb in English “Rome wasn’t built in a day”. Similarly, growth of a company requires people working collectively on getting continuous improvements. They should thrive for every small detail and improvement that is needed. It is a task for everyone. Only a bunch of employees working to get excellence can never bring growth to any business if rest of employees do not put their similar efforts too. For this, it is very important to keep the employees cheerful and positive. There should be good communication, full of trust and loyalty between the employees and managers too.

Gone are the days when only leader or manager had the right to think or he was the only important brain in a company. A single brain can’t bounce different ideas off of each other. Think tank of every employee is as important as the manager’s brain. In fact, employees working closely and daily with any operation may have better judgment regarding the needs and improvements there. The opinion of other employees working on a particular operation should be asked and then discussed between other think tanks of a company.

The team work should be given importance. Companies should organize tasks to maintain team spirit between their employees. HR and their teams should closely work with not only managers or leaders but also with rest of employees. Employees should be motivated to provide their full potential. Only providing uniforms, transport, mobile phones and other facilities to employees may not result in productivity, if their real potential has left undiscovered and not put into practice. For this, there should be continuous surveys and meetings by the organization to read minds of their employees. The companies should spend time to analyze and work upon these results. A happy employee can be more productive than a complaining one.

Other thing, company should also analyze the behavior of their employees at their work. If an employee likes to flatter his managers and does not provide a quality work or if he is into habits of bullying or back biting then it will only create a vicious circle in company between its employees, which will not let employees to have positive thinking and attitude.

Companies should also consider quality of output generated by employees. The process involved or followed to get those results should be of utmost importance. Pre-analysis, planning, communication, discussion, reasoning, implementation, post analysis & improvements should be on focus in order to get optimum results. The result only can never be optimal if the processes involved to get the result are not ideal. In order to get matchless superlative results, the processes should be of world class too.

Employees too should thrive for perfection, putting their best possible efforts. A company grows when its employees grow. Team work can result in wonders. A coordinated effort on a common goal can increase the effectiveness, producing high quality results, leading to success stories and more successful businesses.

Feelings

This world is full of different people, who have different believes, cultures, religions and languages. No matter how different we are, yet we all share something common at some point of time in our lives, which we call ‘feelings’.

We are like a painting, full of variety of colours and each colour is blended with other, yet has its own touch too. Or we are like pieces of a puzzle and each piece has to get along with other, in order to complete the puzzle.

No matter where we are and what we do, we are ‘unique’. No one in this world has same life, yet we share same ‘feelings’. These feelings make us soft or push us to take tough decisions. Based on these feelings, we make our opinions and then shape those opinions into actions.

How incredible is this life! Sometimes we have a choice to make and sometimes we get dragged into a situation with no choice left at all. Whatever it may be, whether willingly or willingless, we get affected by our feelings.

Some feelings are temporarily and others leave a permanent mark on our mind, which is known as a ‘memory’. Depends upon the intensity of our feelings, we get to experience these memories. I ‘felt’ very ‘happy’ when my daughter got graduated eight years back, so, that ‘feeling’ of ‘happiness’ has now got a permanent impression on my mind. Similarly, my cute little dog, who had been my room mate too, passed away two years ago, which has created a ‘bitter and painful memory’ for me.

We re-live our experiences when we ‘recall’ our memories, because we again get the same ‘feeling’ that we had experienced initially too. So, the intensity of any action creates ‘feelings’, which leads to ‘memories’.Sometimes we do not like to think of a person because of a bad experience that we had with that fellow and on the contrary, thinking of a loved one brings a smile on our faces. Although that fellow is near us or not, yet had left an impact on us.

During the caravan of life, we meet and leave people; then meet new ones and leave them too, but we keep on moving. People come in our lives and go away. Some stay in our lives for little time and others for more. But people get to leave an impression on others and no one can take their place in our memories. Even if we try, we can’t replace them with some one else in our memories.

Sad but true, this is something that we do not have control upon, because our memories had been generated by our feelings, to whom we can not defy.

Keeping our hearts pure and not holding any grudge towards anyone, can help us have pleasant feelings and memories, which will keep bringing happiness to us later in our lives. Science has progressed so much, yet few things are so simple. The heart does not has mind, so, it does not think of anything, it can only ‘feel’ and pass that ‘feeling’ to the mind to create a ‘thought’ or ‘memory’. Keeping it ‘pure’ can help us create ‘good feelings and memories’ for us.

The journey does not end till you decide

This world is full of variety of people. People who think and behave differently in different situations. Let’s talk about those who keep on going,doing, moving, struggling or fighting. The goers, doers, movers, strugglers or fighters. The ones who do not listen to anyone or think of anything else than their dreams. They also have to get over the path full of spikes or difficulties. The world may tell them ‘crazy’ but it does not matter to them. The only thing that matters is their dreams.

Dreams that we all dream in our lives, but forget them on 0our life path but these so called ‘crazy’ people can’t. This is what makes them special and different from others. When rest of the world is busy trying to make both ends meet in their day to day lives, even then these ‘crazy’ people are dreaming and dreaming to such an extent that takes a shape of strong determination. Once determined, they do not let others ruin their dreams. They do every possible attempt to shape their dreams into reality.

Even if they get any support from people around them or not, they keep on moving because their strong determination keeps pouring oil to the fire of their dreams. They must have iron soul to bear all that comes into their way. That fire that does not let them feel peace, until they get their dreams come true.

Why does the world forget that it is their lives, their dreams and their journey? No one has the right to interfere. But we give this right to others… Others who decide for us what is right or wrong, when to start and stop and upto what extent to put our efforts. Sad but true and we all know it because ‘we’ let others put ‘boundries’ on our ‘dreams’ as we get scared and don’t know what to do?

We forget ourselves, we stop listening to our inner voice and get mingled into day to day chores or activities.. whether it is to cook food, go to office, work on projects, make kids grow or whatever. But we forget our ‘dreams’ and accept what ‘others’ ‘decide’ for ‘us’. Why do we do this? Why do we lack courage to pursue our dreams? This is where we become ‘follower’… Follower of so called same ‘trend’ that this world is generally following. Here is when we lose.. We lose our dreams, our motive and determination. and here is where the goers, doers, movers, strugglers or fighters ‘WIN’ because they listen to their inner voice and they ‘decide’ what, when, how and to what extent put their actions.

No one else can ever decide for us if we take in charge of ourselves and our dreams. No one can turn you down until you let yourself down in your viewpoint.

Life is full of opportunities and it has infinite capacity to excel. There can always be a ‘little’ reason to pursue dreams. If you like something, have passion for something, then who and what stops you? So, take control of your life without being scared of anything. Sit at a peaceful place and ask yourself what do you want it to be. Once decided, have faith and put all your energy and efforts to get what you ‘really’ want. Keep risking, keep doing, keep struggling but don’t stop. It is like when a child intents to walk alone, he falls, then gets up, then falls and gets up… This is where ‘he’ decides to keep ‘moving’ until unless ‘he’ has learnt and mastered the ‘art’ of walking and ‘achieved’ his goal. So, no one can in reality decide for us till we give this right to them and the journey does not end till you quit.
