Visibility in Corporate world

  Visibility in Corporate world Hard work and sincerity pay, but Visibility rewards. There are many employees who prove their willingness by working hard, but sometimes they fail to develop the ability to increase their visibility. Here is a story to reflect the importance of creating visibility in your workplace. Since the subject teacher was on a leave, the class teacher decided to engage the class with an open quiz competition and started asking what is the currency of Japan? Ravi murmured the currency is called Yen in the ears of Vishal, in the meantime Pranav from the front bench stood and gave the answer. The class teacher appreciated Pranav and instructed the class to give a big round of applause for Pranav. For some of us this can be a familiar incident in our own life, yes indeed people like Pranav would have gone on a nostalgic journey, but people like Ravi would have felt the pain of not being vocal. There are many Ravis who are only known to Vishals, but o...

Losing Happiness

  Losing Happiness There was a middle-aged man who met an Old Monk and said “I am losing my happiness, what should I do regain it back” Guruji asked “Did your friends/Relatives/Neighbour/Colleagues buy anything new? The middle-aged man thought for a while and said “My neighbour bought a new high-end, car” Guruji “Did you ever think, when you will buy such a car?” The middle-aged man said “No I didn’t think about, but my family members were comparing the high-end car with our car while we were traveling together” Guruji “Seed for unhappiness is sown when you start comparing, so came the unhappiness in you” Middle-aged man asked, “How do we avoid such comparison?” Guruji said “Respect other people’s victory and value what you possess” Happiness is not about things it is about how we perceive the happenings around us M.L.

When the dog bend to have some water, seeing its own reflection it stopped, the dog turned back wondering what to do & after few minutes it went near the pond and saw the reflection and started barking, the dog was horrified to see the barking reflection and ran away from the pond.
