#2 : “Thank GOD it’s MONDAY “

“Thank GOD it’s MONDAY “


If you have all the money in the world, would you still be doing the same work that you are doing now? Please think,  If the answer is YES, you are pursuing the right job, and if the answer is NO, you should re-think on how to think.

 As many of us already in the Friday mood as tomorrow is Holiday,  we all always say TGIF as if we have worked very hard all over the week and we need a break. Correct?  

 According to statistics and calculation, we ONLY work for 18-33% of days out of 365. (remove 104 Sat/Sun, 12 general leaves, assume 20 annual leaves, then assume we work 12 hrs. a day, so the half number of days remaining, we only work for 69-121 days of WORK.

 And even for this we all crib, celebrate Fridays, suffer from Mondays blues

Have we thought about why it is like this? Work for all of us is an effort or an endeavour?? If we enjoy doing the same, it wouldn't have been like this, and it would have been like a breeze, it would be a celebration. Isn't it?

 Another reason is we quantify work by what we get in return? And this is the wrong measure we all do. If every homemaker would begin to equate the quantum of work with their compensations, then this world will be complete halt.

 You don't work for anyone; you work for yourself. Organizations may get benefit from the effect of your work. We should give our best at whatever we work. The secret of this to happen is to make your hobby your profession. If this happens nothing like it, but for some reason, we have come to other occupations, we should try to make that as a hobby and enjoy the same.

I have many real-life examples, where some of my friends have left MNCs, high earning job to pursue his hobby- the business of making customized cars for trekking purposes. My father, after retirement still pursuing his teaching hobby, he loves teaching so much that any time of day/night he is ready for same.

  So, if we love our jobs and we do that with the passion we will always saying be saying Thank GOD, it's MONDAY.

#1 : Thirty-three percent ( 33%)

 33% - Thirty Three Percent    'We make a living by what we get,  but we make a life by what we give  "  Said Winston Churchill.   It was a gloomy day, besides the roaring ocean waves along the beach, there was a large army anxiously waiting to cross the Ocean.  Rama, Lakshman and their Monkey army were distressed, waiting to cross the Ocean to reach Lanka.  All of them came to know that Sita is in Lanka, and they were struggling to find an appropriate person who could cross the same. Agand, the crown prince, said he is still small, to go, Jambvant was old, others also were expressing the disability to cross the Ocean. Hanuman sat quietly and listened to all this, not sure of his capabilities, whether he could do or not. Then Jambavant the  old and wise bear  approached him and reminded him about his abilities and capabilities as What he can do. Realizing the same Hanuman got the confidence, and he crossed th...

#3 : It's Okay - Don't Loose Yourself

Image
Its OK      At our homes, we have seen from our childhood our parents and later in lives our spouses. They all strive to be best or perfect; to do that, they try to please the rest of the family. This quest of theirs's  sometimes leave them exhausted, and actually, there is no such need. Also, this leads us to pestering requests and unreasonable expectations. I want to bring to you all is one crucial takeaway which I read recently.     Don't expect A+ in every aspect of your life . It's OK to have B, which also means Very Good.  Let me explain. Do not ever feel stressed about having a dual responsibility of family and work .   You all are the backbone of families, but I have also observed that you always strive for best ( which it is OK,   but not at your own expense ), and want to be a perfectionist and in this journey, you never get time for yourself   " Me Time." You are not taking an exam, and you frankly can...

#13 : Life is a Journey

Image
  Life is a journey, and we all in it in different stages. Ups and downs are part and parcel of the journey. We should not judge people where they are, even if we may have started our journey at some point in time. S/he may have embarked their journey from different stations. You may have progressed further in your Life, but they are yet those stations. Similarly, some may have gone ahead of you as well. Last year , I attended Shobha Soul fest where Guruji   Gaur Gopal Das came, during his Speech, he metaphorically compared Life journey to Air Travel.   He divided air travel into three parts, Take Off, In the plane and Landing . Where if you see Take-off and Landing you don't have any control, whatever is done by the Pilots.   For our understanding, they can be our GODs or events for which we have no control over it. While when we are on a plane , the actual journey, that part we can make it memorable, happier. So, it's in our hands to create Memories, happ...
