Inspiration for exceling at thepersonal level...

The biggest  input to our minds is 'inspiration' from variety of sources connected directly or indirectly with our lives....

Ultimately, that matters in driving us to act is our mindset and mental processes. Inaction is the result of mental and psychic lethargy only. To remove the shell of lethargy from the minds, we need inspirational inputs to our lives. Once we are inspired to better in lives, we get recharged to act in a meaningful manner.

To get inspired we need to have an open mind that continuously seek for those excellent sources in and around us. If we are positive in our attitudes, we absorb those virtues in our inner minds and naturally get inclined to act in similar ways in our respective domains of activities.

Basically, mind is the man. Thinking is the man that I am. My mind only drives me action.

Hence, we should continuously try to improve upon the 'quality of thinking' to better our self work-culture. We should develop our own ways of thinking in depth about anything that requires creativity and innovation. And hence, meditation could form an important component of our daily lives. Vital decisions of our lives could be taken after deep meditation on the subject as well as discussion with like-minded friends.....

QUALITY OF THINKING prepares the foundation of QUALITY OF WORK AND LIFE....
To systematize our thoughts, daily meditation & yoga would help us a lot. Yoga and mediattion would drive us to spiritual thinking and spiritual thinking leads us to peace and happiness. Prayer to God is the only way to clease our minds. A clean mind can do the miracle of  total creativity and innovation in what we do....

Self-management tools to ensure a happier life....

Managing the self is the ultimate challenge of any professional or personal life. The basic challenges are to stay young, mental peace and satisfaction , keeping fit, maintaining personal integrity, having time for prayer, serving others in some way as a means of serving GOD,  and a balanced interaction with people around us. Let us consider the topics one by one..

STAYING YOUNG IN BOTH BODY AND MIND....

The real secret lies in training our minds for higher thinking...

Positive thought patterns develoop positive responses in our nervous system and hence we should network with dynamic and progressive positive thinkers only...

To be involved in continous updation of knowledge, skills, and information....

To keep learning from practical life as well as from academic attachments....

Total regularity in taking physical exercise for fitness...

Being engaged in our hobbies that would give us pure pleasure....

MENTAL PEACE AND SATISFACTION..

It can only come from the good work that we do with honesty and devotion...
Real pleasure and satisfaction come from a special feeling of the inner self for creative and innovative contribution for the happiness of others....

DAILY PRAYER..
It simply cleanses our mind taht is entangled in many of the mortal sins and desires. God's blessings only can remove dirts from our greedy minds...

FITNESS...
Exercise and diet are the main components, but we should remember that mental state greatly influences the body functioning and hence yoga and mediattion are a must for real fitness and energetic existence.....

NETWORKING WITH PEOPLE...

It is always better to be choosy about mixing with people...
It is bad to talk too much in any situation....
We should master the art of saying NO to bad people around us...
Interaction with bad people generates a lot of stress in body and mind, and hence always risky at the personal level...

True Happiness...

True happiness lies in selfless giving only

Qualities of the Good managers as observed in my life...

During my tenure with GAIL(A Govt. of India U/T) I have interacted with some good managers. I learnt that 'self-discipline'  is a common quality among all good managers.

Another biggest aspect is the best of communication skills.

 Some of the most impressive features  are their physical fitness, mental alertness  and power of observation of human behaviors......

One more common characteristic is the ability of taking stress and the capability of handling crisis.

Even without doing MBAs we can be good managers, if we understand the dynamics of human behaviors including universal rules for motivation,  understanding of differences in personalities, attitudes, aspirations etc......


The first and foremost thing in evolving as a good manager is attainment of higher levels of ENERGY AND ENTHUSIASM to work for cause/mission/objecitves....
Till we understand that WORK GIVES PLEASURE, SATISFACTION, HAPPINESS AND  PEACE,  we can never be good managers in our whole life....

If we enjoy our work, we are really blessed with the real happiness of living a life....

All other forms of enjoyment give us only temporary pleasure or relaxation, except the eternal pleasure of DOING OUR WORK AND ENJOYING IT AT THE SAME TIME.....

THIS ABOVE DISCOVERY TOOK 48 YEARS OF MY LIFE ....I STILL BELIEVE THAT THOUGH IT IS LATE THE SAME COULD BE ENJOYED FROM TODAY ONWARDS....

Here possibly lies the meaning of life, as revealed to me through the holy blessings of GOD...


So let us all try to realize the meaning of 'WORK IS WORKSHOP'  in our own different ways and May God bless us all.....
