Work - Sometimes is like one sided love

I was just thinking and found an analogy, between work and one sided love.

Work is or should be treated as one sided love.

In one sided love you give as much as you can, knowing you might not get anything back

But you give because you love. Irrespective of you get or no.

You fear that the other person might love you or know ever, but still have a hope that he will.

But you still love to do nice things to the other person irrespective of anything.

The other person might behave unreasonable , not be with you when you require .

But you always behave well to him , and be there when he needs you . Because you love him.

Same goes for your work.

It might not give you what you expect from it ,

But give it what it needs because you love it .

Remember love your work . Very true .

But remember your work might not always be in love with you .

It might be one sided love .

MIGHT SOUND VAGUE , BUT THINK OVER IT .

Give

Give as much as you can

Then you get as much as you need

As you all are so sweet

When some one cares for you .

Hear not only what he says ,

But how he says it .

When someone loves you

Fell not only what he does ,

But how he does it .


A short poem for all of you all , as you all are so sweet

Times when you would be down, and out

There will be times when you would be down, and out.

People will get against you.

People who trusted you will see you with doubt.

That’s not because you don’t have it in you.

Its because one thing is gone wrong.

All your previous achievements and hard work will be forgotten by them.

But understand its not because you don’t have it .

Its because they are Humans. And Humans are like that.

It happens to all of us.

There are times when even we do it.

That does not mean you don’t have it in you.

It means that one thing has gone wrong , which it will .

Happens with the best of the people .

Happens with everybody .

Its like a law of life .

But remember there are people who believe in your capabilities , not because of

one thing gone wrong or right .

But because they know you have it in you .

Breaking A Stone

I saw a man trying to break a big stone with a hammer.

He broke the stone in the 58 th blow .

Yet I know it was not the 58 th blow which broke the stone .

Successful people are lazy

I read a line somewhere it says that most successful people are lazy.

Don’t get it wrong.

Lazy as in they don’t like to do things as they are done and want to do it in a faster, easier and efficient way.

So they start finding ways for this.

And if they find a way they get successful.

It’s the same meaning as the saying

Necessity is the mother of all inventions.

As they are lazy they have a Necessity of doing things in a different way

And this leads to new inventions or new ways.

Have a hard working happy day . ;)

I will prove the rest

You can say I will win .

I will prove you right .

You can say I will loose

I will Prove you wrong.

You can say I will succeed

I will prove you right .

You can say I will fail

I will Prove you wrong .

You can say I will achieve

I will prove you right .

You can say I will not achieve

I will Prove you wrong .

You can say I am capable

I will prove you right .

You can say I am not capable

I will Prove you wrong .

You have to just say .

I will prove the rest .

I Learn

The less I know .

Then I learn.

When I learn .

I know more .

The more I know ,

I know how less I know .

Then I learn .

Potential or Achievement - Whats More Important

Lets me begin with defining two terms as I perceive it to be

Potential – It is the ability perceived in a person to achieve something. Whether he/she will achieve it is a question.

Achievement – It something done or got by a person (whether he had the potential to get or do that is a different thing).

Whats more important.

Potential or Achievement .

Potential could be an Achievement in the future .

But I read a statement some where it said – There is nothing more common in the world than talented failures.

Achievement is something which is done in the past. It’s done.

But one successful thing does not lead to other .

There is nothing faster forgotten than a good achievement .

Failures are more remembered than success . Cricketers being the best e .g .

One bad performance and done .

So what important Potential or Achievements .

Don’t tell me Potetial which leads to Achievement which Obviously is the Best .

Sucess & Failure

Success keeps you going .

Failure keeps you Humble .

Success makes you believe you cant loose.

Failure makes you understand you cant always win.

Ironic But success leads to failure as we become ignorant ,

And failure leads to success as we become aware .

Mothers are always the best

There are Good People , there are bad people.

There are Good Friends , There are Bad friends.

There are Good Professionals , there are Bad Professionals.

But Mothers are always the best .

They are the best for their children Irrespective of anything .

I have Given Flowers to my Mom on valentines Day .

I have tied Rakhi to her on Rakhi .

I have Tied Friendship bands To her On Friendship Days .

That is why Mothetrs are always Great . They Become for you , only for you anything you want , irrespective of they want it or no ,

Only because you want it .

That’s why Mothers are only best .

I envy you all as I cant become one and you all can L .

Anyways wish happy mothers day to all your moms to be so great on my behalf .

Hope they have a great day everyday .

We Is much Bigger Than I

Hey,

I

&

WE

Even Here WE is much Bigger than I .

Who Wins the Race

Hey I just wanted to ask you all two questions, as you all had physics you all would easily answer it.

I have two cars

A B

At a distance of 2 Km , B being ahead of A.

Car A is running at 2km/hr and B at 1 km/hr and the destination is 4 Km away .

Will A win the race .

Did you get the Answer .?

Scroll down……………..

Did you say A will win . If yes it’s the wrong ans as A was moving towards the left .

Three points I want to stress here .

  • Not only the speed but the direction is Important also (in reference to ketki’s mail )
  • You did not have the complete information to solve the problem then we make assumption based on previous experiences which might be bad sometimes .
  • I was making the rules of this game. So it I can change the rules according to my convenience to make sure I win . In life we have to play games in which the rules are in favor of others and also they might change to favor others , similarly we try to make rules favorable to us .

Experience is the only teacher.

One of the very famous and very true saying is

“Experience is the only teacher.”

This is very true, but many times not understood properly.

When you read this is comes to mind that when you experience something , you learn from it . This is true but not complete.

No where the saying says the experience has to be only yours . It could be of others .

You can learn not only from your experiences but also others .

People who fail to learn from their experiences turn out to be failures .

People who learn from their experiences turn out to be success but they take long time to achieve it .

People who learn from their experiences and others grow very fast .

So keep learning from all the experiences of everyone.

Physics law drive Human Behaviour also

I was just speaking to a friend that day about connection between Physics laws and those laws applying to human behavior.

Newtons law - Inertia – Resistance to change .

Goes same for humans , we have high resistance to change .

Einsteins – Theory of relativity.

Even we judge everything on the basis of who and where we are .

Darwins Theory – Survival of the fittest.

How true is that for humans .

Ohms law . ( not sure it comes in ohms law but there is a law which says current always takes the path of minimum resistance ).

Humans take the path of minimum pain.

Hmmmm interesting.


Change or Not to Change

Two things which differentiate humans from other living things are

  • Humans change the surroundings according to their needs.
  • Humans built tools to do things.

These two things are very important.

But in accordance to the first point in surroundings we include other people also.

We want people around us to be like how we want them to be.

Similarly people around us want us to change.

But as people we resist change. And so do them. J So it’s the chicken and egg problem.

And what happens is there are some qualities which are so obvious to us that people should have because we have learnt that behavior from years and now. So it’s very obvious to us that the other person should have a particular behavior trait. But as the other person is brought up differently and gone through different experiences has different behavior traits.

So if you feel that some person around you is doing something wrong try to tell him that he is doing wrong.

Don’t tell him to change. Make him realize he has to change.

Because both might be right in their places.


Similarly when somebody tells you to change think of it with an open mind and see if a change is really necessary.

And only if you feel it is necessary change.

Because the person telling you might have a different perspective of things which might right or wrong for you.

Goals - Hit on them

Can you shoot a target you cannot see . Not unless you are as great as arjun(mahabharat).

I don’t think we normal people can shoot the target you cannot see.

Can you built software without knowing the requirements.

Even a five year will anwer these questions . These sound like obvious facts .

But when it come to us the same facts seem so blur.

We don’t know what is our goal .

A goal is something which can be measured in quantity and in time .

I heard people saying they have goals like

  • I want to own a company.
  • I want to help others
  • I want to be successful in my career

.

Are these goals . Nope they are wishes .

Your Wishes should drive your goals .

Goals for the above e.g could be

  • In two years (by jan 2009) I will have Product X which my company will be selling and I will have 10 employees under me with a turn over of Y.
  • I will teach 3 students maths who are poor by the end of 2007.
  • I will make sure that I have become TG2 in next 3 yrs (by jan 2010) .

These are some long term (or medium duration goals set for the wishes we have).

Now you should set goals for the current year , current month, current week, current day such that you can measure them .

Goals have to be realistic in the sense the should not be over or under ambitious .

How to set such goals ? Know yourself . and with experience and evaluating whether you could complete your previous goals or no you learn and set goals appropriately.

Write down Goals on paper. This helps in laying stress on it .

Read you long term goals everyday. This helps us focus.

I am very bad at goal settings . But will improve .

Whenever something is going wrong in life you just need to learn a new skill .

So simple yet so difficult.

Free Or Fair

Most of us in life sometime would have said that life not fair.

This is true, life is not fair, it is free.


But do we really want it to be fair.

If it was fair everyone would be doing the same thing, same work.

If it was fair we all would start from the same level in everything .


So for E.g –

Even if one person is born blind all of us should be blind if we have to be totally fair.

Everything given to us could not be decided by us because to be fair it has to be same for all.


So its good that life is not fair . It is free .

We can choose .


So we only want life to be fair when we are on receiving end .

I have only seen people crib in practical exams when they get a tough program then others , and people call themselves lucky when they get a easy one , but that time no one speaks about being fair .

That’s how human nature is .

So we want life to be free when its good to us and fair to be bad to us .

Which does not happen as life is free and not fair .

And good its not fair .

Emotion are not Good or Bad

We generally have some preconceived notions about some emotions .

In the sense that we consider some as bad and some as good.

For E.g :-

Anger, greed , fear are considered to be bad ,

Love is considered to be good.

But is this true.

According to me Emotion by themselves are not good or bad.

But how we use or react to them is good or bad.

Like Ghandiji was very angry when he was thrown out of the train

In South Africa , which he used in the right way to get us freedom.

Greed of achieving something motivates us to move ahead.

Imagine if children did not fear their teachers a little or we did not fear the law

What a chaos it could be .

Similarly , love which is considered to be good in the movie DARR

Shahruk Khan because of love causes so many troubles.

So emotions by themselves are not good or bad,

But how we react to them matters

Education Is The Best Investment

Education is the best investment . It might not be always formal education.
But to keep growing and learning is very important .
Education of diverse fields help in diverse thing .
Learning how to dance and perform on stage , made me a better teacher as i could perform
in front of my students as i did on stage .
So when we study different thing , something learnt some where might just help to
solve a problem in a total unrelated field.

Never compromise on Education.
