[LeadersWorkshop] Flower and a Pearl [Beautiful Story]

 

Flower and a Pearl [Beautiful Story]

One day, a brilliantly beautiful and fragrant flower
with attractive colors met a pearl that lives far in the bottom
of the sea and has none of these characteristics.

Both got acquainted with each other.



The flower said: "Our family is large; roses and daisies are
members of the family. And there are many other species that
are various and countless; each has a distinctive scent, appearance etc."
Suddenly, a tinge of distress appeared on the flower.

"Nothing accounts for sorrow in your talk;
so why are depressed?"
The pearl asked.

"Human beings deal with us carelessly; they slight us.

They don't grow us for our sake but to get pleasure
from our fragrance and beautiful appearance.
They throw us on the street or in the garbage can
after we are dispossessed of the most valuable properties;
brilliance and fragrance."

The flower sighed. And then the flower said to the pearl:
"Speak to me about your life! How do you live?
How do you feel it? You are buried in the bottom of the sea."

The pearl answered: "Although I have none of your
distinctive colors and sweet scents, humans think I am precious.
They do the impossible to procure me. They go on long journeys,
dive deep in the seas searching for me. You might be
astounded to know that the further I lay,
the more beautiful and brilliant I become. That's what
upraises my value in their thought. I live in a thick shell
isolated in the dark seas. However, I'm happy and proud to be
in a safe zone far from wanton and mischievous hands and still
the humans consider me highly valuable."



Do you know what the flower and the pearl symbolize?

Think, Think, Think...

You will find that: The flower is the unveiled woman
(who shows her charms) and the pearl is the veiled woman
(who conceals her beauties).

MORAL OF THE STORY:

So decide do you want to be like a flower or Pearl,
Flower which is used when needed and thrown away in Garbage
after it is used or Pearl which is highly valuable and respected
every where.

 Developing People.

James Kilts
In Doing What Matters, James Kilts, former chairman and CEO of Gillette Company, shares a story about developing people:

One of the most important responsibilities of a leader is to create the right environment and then give the employees development opportunities that enable them to realize their full potential. I like to use an analogy that I heard some years ago of the Japanese carp, known as the koi, to make the point.

The fascinating thing about the koi is that if you keep it in a small fish bowl, it will grow to be only about two to three inches long. Place the koi in a larger tank or small pond and it will reach six to ten inches. Put it in a large pond, and it may get as long as a foot and a half. However, if you put it in a huge lake where it can really stretch out, it has the potential to reach sizes up to three feet.

People, like the koi, will grow to the dimensions of their boundaries. Fortunately, unlike koi, we have the advantage of helping our people select their boundaries. And it is the leader's job to set the kind of boundaries that allow people to reach their full potential.

[LeadersWorkshop] Fw: ~~~ 70 things one should know while starting career and during his career.

[LeadersWorkshop] Fw: ~~~ 70 things one should know while starting career and during his career.

 



 70 things one should know while starting career and during his career.


--- :


 



70 things one should know while starting career and during his career.

After years of experience in job and feedbacks from friends in other industry led to following list of things that we should have known and should know when we start our career. Just add your thoughts on the same to make the list comprehensive guide for better Career.

1. The career you think you're going to have? This is not the career you're going to end up with. The job you went to college for? That's not the job you're going to end up with.

2. You will spend a good portion of your work day with nothing to do.

3. Meetings almost never solve anything and never end on time.

4. You will seriously embarrass yourself, and possibly endanger your career at at least one (and maybe more) of your office Christmas parties.

5. Trusting co-workers can be bad for your career.

6. The movie Office Space isn't just a comedy.

7. Pay is really about sitting or standing. The more you are sitting, the more you get paid.

8. Having a passing knowledge of current sports events is a critical skill for office small talk.

9. You're probably way, way overeducated for the job you're in. A good 30 thousand of those student loans you're still paying off were wasted.

10. There are plenty more important things in life than your career.

11. You know that 401 k matching plan? It was really a pretty good idea. Grab a calculator. Calculate how much more money you'd have today if you had started contributing the day you were hired instead of 2 years ago when you finally broke down and did it. Now faint.

12. Some workplaces function EXACTLY like high school.

13. The company's stock will not always go up.

14. Learning to look busy is a valuable survival skill.

15. You're unlikely to ever meet a happy accountant.

16. No one really takes the time to adequately train you. All new employees are inadequately trained.

17. Upper management is more focused on improving their golf game than improving their company's bottom line.

18. The mistakes you make are sometimes more valuable than the things you did exactly right.

19. When your career is the only good thing you've got going in your life, it's time to reassess your life.

20. That temporary job you settled for… is it really temporary if you're still in it after all this time?

21. Tuf wars and office politics exist in every office, no matter how small.

22. Be nice to the administrative assistants; they are the key to everything because they keep the world turning.

23. It's rare that your colleagues are actually smarter than you; it's all confidence.

24. Old white guys are not old and wise guys.

25. Dear lord, office bathrooms can be gross.

26. You never really get to rest. A career is about always building, always moving forward.

27. Your boss is a human being too.

28. No one will believe in you more than you.

29. And if you don't believe in you, you're not going anywhere.

30. Office gossip can be positively deadly.

31. Sometimes the game is rigged.

32. Lunch - try to never skip it. You do not earn points for working through it and it helps you stay sane.

33. It IS possible to one day wake up and realize you hate your dream job.

34. You fear taking your eye off the ball, but sometimes that is really what you NEED to do.

35. The car you drive to work is very important. Office workers put a lot of value judgments on fellow workers vehicles.

36. Timing, like location, is literally EVERYTHING.

37. Networking is not just a buzzword: it's the most valuable thing you can do for your career.

38. Take the lowest paying job with the best job description and title, rather than the best paying job with the worst job title.

39. "Follow-through" is a great characteristic to be known for when you are first hired.

40. Do what you love, even if it pays less than something you're good at.

41. Set personal goals.

42. Stay away from those who say "You Can't".

43. Plan and prepare for the long haul.

44. To land a meaningful job, prepare for a really tough interview.

45. Keep improving through the job search and beyond.

46. Develop a personal board of advisors for support.

47. Surround yourself with a diverse group of people with diverse thoughts.

48. Develop a backbone. Even successful careers can have disappointments

49. Think around, outside and under the box. The way forward may not necessarily be clear or straight ahead

50. Don't expect your career paths to be logical to everyone looking on.

51. Don't burn your bridges behind you. You may need a reference or two eventually

52. Be mindful of what your associations can say about who you are.

53. You don't need to have all the experience in the job description to apply.

54. Job descriptions get rewritten all the time.

55. Be open to the fact that you might be underestimated.

56. Some people will like you for the job and some will not.

57. Some will laugh behind your back when they find out you are applying for a certain job.

58. The real work begins after you land the job.

59. Know your competition and do not underestimate them.

60. Think transferable skills.

61. You may have to say things during an interview to impress your future boss.

62. You have to build consensus to move ideas forward.

63. Keep track of your accomplishments; no one else is obligated to do that for you.

64. You may find people want to hang around you, just because you are successful – not because they care.

65. Education and training mean something.

66. Hard work and discipline pays off eventually.

67. It is not a shame to strategically plan your career.

68. Many people are not working in their college majors.

69. The more people who support you and your ideas, the more successful you will be.

70. You are always preparing for your next career opportunity, regardless of what you are doing

 

Zindagi ek Saans se Dusri Saans ke beech ki duri hai
Bas itne se pal me jitni khushi mil jaaye use apna lo

[LeadersWorkshop] The power of the subconscious mind

[LeadersWorkshop] The power of the subconscious mind

 

Visualization

The language of your subconscious mind


Visualization or mental picture is the language of your subconscious mind.

If you choose to remember only one thing out of all the articles I've written, please remember this:

"Your subconscious mind cannot differentiate what is real or vividly imagined. Through repetition, the image you visualize must come to pass."

Let me illustrate this statement with a real story that I've extracted from the book "The Power Of Your Subconscious Mind".

A young pharmacist, being inspired by Dr. Joseph Murphy, began to imagine that she was in her own store, arranging the bottles, dispensing prescriptions and waiting on customers. Mentally she worked in that imaginary store.

Several years later, her work took her to a small town where there was only one drugstore. When she walked into the store she was surprised that it was exactly the store she had visualized. More amazingly, the store owner was ready to retire and was willing to let her own the store while providing her with the financial support she needed.

That's the power of visualization.

Visualization is not just seeing what you desire in your mind's eye. It is about living in your mind's eye. When I say living, I mean using your five senses to make the images as real as possible.

The best time to do visualization is when you are in alpha because when you are in alpha, you can concentrate on your inner world and fully immerge yourself in your world of visualization.

As what Jose Silva put it, the difference between visualizing in beta and alpha is like saying the word swim and actually swimming. (If you do not know what I mean by beta and alpha, 

When you visualize in Alpha, you will realize that you can visualize better and the images that you visualize will be so vivid that you may end up thinking that the images are real!

The clearer the visualization, the faster it shows up in reality.

One problem that many people face when starting to do visualization is that they keep changing what they visualize before the goal is achieved. This is often due to lack of self-understanding and poor goal setting technique.

If you are still searching for the right path, you may go into different opportunities.

For example, you may go into a sales job, and you started to visualize yourself being the top salesperson in the company. But before you achieve the goal, you realized that sales is not something you like. Your goal changed and what you visualized changes as a result.

This is bad because in success psychology, we always say success attracts success and failure attracts failure. When you have a successful experience, it is easier for your subconscious mind to relate to that experience and thus bring more of such experience to you.

But if you keep having unsuccessful experiences, you will naturally fill your subconscious mind with images of those experiences, which becomes a hindrance in achieving your other goals.

In fact, one very powerful technique of goal achievement is to condition your subconscious mind with a successful past experience and convert that experience into your new goal that you want to achieve. This technique basically deceives your subconscious mind to believe that what you want has already happened so that it automatically brings forth the belief into reality.

If you keep changing what you visualize or keep changing your goals, your faith in visualization will fall and your confidence in yourself will also sink. In this case, the more you visualize, the more you fail to achieve your goals and the worse you feel about yourself. Eventually visualization becomes a tedious and unrewarding process that actually hinders your progress instead of helping you!

The only reason why visualization doesn't work is because you are not sure of what you want. If you are very sure of what you want, visualization must work for you!

Now since things have changed i still feel that if am having dark neck and that now actually comes and goes.This may sound little easy for me but for me my heart actually beats faster on seeing my neck in the mirror.This is a power of subconcious mind
