  Learn and Move Experiencing financial losses can be a challenging part of running a business, but it can also serve as an opportunity for growth and improvement. By analyzing these setbacks and the decisions that led to them, we can gain valuable insights that allow us to make better choices in the future. This proactive approach can ultimately lead to stronger business practices and increased resilience. On the other hand, simply dwelling on our financial difficulties—through negative thoughts, conversations, or feelings of regret—can be detrimental. Such an attitude keeps us trapped in a cycle of negativity that prevents us from moving forward and finding solutions. Instead of letting our past struggles consume us, we must focus on learning from them and using that knowledge to foster personal and professional development. Embracing challenges in this way will empower us to create a more prosperous future.   M.L. Narendra Kumar        

  Half-Baked Food, Incomplete Data and Decision Making When consuming food, it is well-known that half-baked items can pose significant health risks, such as foodborne illnesses or digestive issues. In the same way, dealing with incomplete or partially processed information can be harmful not only to individuals but also to organisations as a whole. Inadequate information can lead to poor decision-making, miscommunication, and ultimately, failure to achieve desired outcomes. To avoid these pitfalls, it’s essential to recognize the importance of thoroughly cooking certain foods to ensure they are safe for consumption. Likewise, one must strive to present and analyze information comprehensively before making decisions. Understanding which data needs to be thoroughly vetted and which insights require complete context is crucial for informed, effective decision-making that benefits personal and organizational objectives. By prioritizing thoroughness in both food preparation and inf...

  Pain-Express or Solve   Pain is a profoundly personal experience that can be articulated, yet it remains fundamentally solitary; others may empathise, but they cannot truly share your pain. If you find that expressing your pain—whether through talking, writing, or another outlet—provides you with a sense of relief or helps you process what you are going through, then it might be beneficial to allow yourself that expression.   On the other hand, if you feel that sharing your pain does not facilitate healing or bring about any positive outcome, consider redirecting your focus toward finding constructive solutions. In such cases, investing your energy into identifying steps to alleviate your suffering may be more effective than dwelling on the pain itself. Ultimately, the choice between expression and solution lies in what best supports your emotional and mental well-being.   M.L. Narendra Kumar

  Roots -The Deeper and Stronger The life of a tree is intricately connected to the strength and depth of its roots, which reach deep into the earth, anchoring the tree firmly and drawing essential nutrients and water from the soil. This hidden network provides the support necessary for the tree to grow tall and withstand the elements, no matter how strong the winds may blow. Similarly, the success and durability of our careers or businesses hinge on how deeply we are rooted in our fundamental values and core principles. These fundamentals serve as our guiding star, illuminating the path to growth and resilience. When we cultivate strong foundational knowledge—whether through education, experience, or values—we empower ourselves to navigate the unpredictable landscape of our professional lives. Just as a tree that has nourished its roots can adapt to changing seasons, we, too, can flourish in the face of challenges when we possess this solid grounding. A firm grasp of our ess...

  Align Daily Actions to Targets Sales is a game that cannot be played without targets, and no targets can be achieved without effective plans. At the start of each day, we should list the activities we plan to undertake and check whether these activities align with our targets. Sometimes, these activities may include crises or complaints that must be addressed; we should prioritise such tasks while ensuring that our day is still focused on achieving our targets. We must never lose sight of our goals, representing our destination. It is fortunate to work in sales because we can set daily goals aligned with our targets. Achieving these daily goals brings a sense of accomplishment and fosters a positive mindset, helping us to wake up with a purpose each day. Take a moment to write down your target and outline what you will do today to achieve it. M.L. Narendra Kumar  

  Leadership Lesson from the Backyard A large corporation invited a Zen monk to give a talk to their team of managers on the critical topic of leadership. Eager to better understand the work environment, the monk took the opportunity to explore the premises and ventured into the backyard. To his dismay, he found a muddy area cluttered with old furniture and various discarded items unceremoniously dumped there over time. When it was time for the monk to address the gathered managers, he opened with a thought-provoking question: “How many of you have spent time in your backyard?” To his surprise, only one individual raised his hand, and he happened to be a housekeeping team member. Intrigued, the monk inquired further, asking why no one else had visited that part of the property. One manager reluctantly responded, explaining that nothing was interesting to see there; it was considered unsafe due to the accumulated waste. Undeterred, the monk asked, “If there were a beautiful ga...

  Less than a minute lesson -2605 Trivial Vs Vital When we fill our minds with trivial activities, we lose focus on what vital matters. Life is not only about what we should do but also about what we should avoid. Our focus becomes clearer when we remove trivial tasks from our to-do list. M.L. Narendra Kumar Director Instivate Learning Solutions PVT LTD  

  Mindset sets our day Our mindset at the beginning of each day significantly influences our experiences and outcomes. If we approach the day with a fixed mindset—an attitude where we believe our abilities and intelligence are static—we will likely face the day with indifference, treating it as just another ordinary experience. In contrast, when we foster a growth mindset, which emphasizes our capacity to learn, adapt, and improve, we open ourselves up to exciting possibilities. A growth mindset encourages curiosity, resilience, and a willingness to embrace challenges, making every day routine and a memorable adventure filled with learning opportunities. Ultimately, we can choose how we set our mindset before diving into the day's activities, which can transform our entire experience. M.L. Narendra Kumar

  Less than a minute lesson -2604 Adding Value to our conversations When two ideas are exchanged, a third idea emerges. However, when two gossipers share rumours, their true character is revealed. Therefore, when we sit down to talk, let's focus on conversations that add value to ourselves and others. M.L. Narendra Kumar Director Instivate Learning Solutions PVT LTD

  Less than a minute lesson -2603 Handling Success Early success serves as a test of character. If we recognise that it is not final, we can continue to achieve success throughout our lives.   However, life can become detrimental if we believe it is the end. The effort required to cope with failures is the same as that needed to handle success. M.L. Narendra Kumar Director Instivate Learning Solutions PVT LTD        

    Less than a minute lesson -2602 Pat yourself It is not your failure when the world fails to recognise your good deeds; it is the world's failure. Give yourself a pat on the back, and keep pushing yourself to do more and give more. M.L. Narendra Kumar Director Instivate Learning Solutions PVT LTD    

  Self and others Sometimes, we need to be gentle with ourselves when others are hard on us. Sometimes, we must challenge ourselves when others are overly lenient. We may also need to forgive ourselves when others are angry with us. Conversely, there are moments when we should hold ourselves accountable even if others quickly forgive. Sometimes, it's important to take things lightly when others expect us to push harder. On the other hand, there are times when we need to push ourselves when others show us pity. Ultimately, it’s our lives, and we must take control of them. We should discern when to listen to ourselves and when to consider the opinions of others. This will enable us to live a life that leaves a meaningful impact on ourselves and those around us.   M.L. Narendra Kumar  

  Less than a minute lesson -2601 Winning the battle in the mind Before we fight the battle on the battlefield, we should fight it in our minds.   If we do not win our negativity, we will lose in reality. Let us win the enmity called negativity. M.L. Narendra Kumar Director Instivate Learning Solutions PVT LTD  

  Targets, Targets that change our lives Any target may seem overwhelming when we need more conviction about it. As a salesperson, your belief in what you are selling is crucial for effective persuasion. Before you attempt to sell anything, you must fully embrace your target and treat it as essential as oxygen. The target size doesn't matter; how we approach it matters. Just as neither Rome was built in a day nor the Great Wall of China was constructed in a few hours, we recognise that these monumental achievements began as ideas conceived in the mind. They stand tall today with a daily plan, consistency, discipline, and determination. Every target should be divided into smaller, manageable chunks, allowing us to focus on those segments daily. A few crores might seem daunting, but breaking it down to hundreds makes it more achievable. Set daily goals for yourself and work diligently, like an ant. Even when motivation wanes, remain committed to achieving your objectives each d...

  Thinkers Can be Influencers or Manipulators Two types of thinkers impact our way of thinking: those who inspire and guide us toward a noble cause through their ideologies and those who manipulate our thoughts and beliefs, often leading to self-destruction and harm to others. Critical thinking allows us to analyse and evaluate different ideas and perspectives. This process helps us discern what is correct and beneficial instead of misleading or destructive. To effectively navigate these complexities, we must connect deeply with our personal purpose—understanding our values, goals, and the impact we wish to have in the world. By doing so, we can better assess whether the ideologies presented by various thinkers resonate with our purpose and principles. This enables us to make informed decisions about whose ideas we choose to embrace or reject. This alignment with our purpose empowers us to not only shape our understanding but also contribute positively to the well-being of ou...

  We are the owners of our hearts and Mind. As the owners of our hearts and minds, we have the unique power to determine who holds a special place in our emotional world and what information or memories we store in our minds. This responsibility is significant because the people we allow into our hearts can significantly influence our happiness and well-being, while the thoughts we retain shape our perceptions and reactions to the world around us. It is essential to be mindful of these choices; we may encounter difficulties navigating our lives if we neglect this responsibility. By thoughtfully considering who we let into our hearts and what we focus on in our minds, we can cultivate a more fulfilling and harmonious existence.   M.L. Narendra Kumar

  Less than a minute lesson -2600 Life is not a Template Life is not a template; what works for one person may not work for others.   It is better to define our purpose and create a template around it. M.L. Narendra Kumar Director Instivate Learning Solutions PVT LTD

  Mistakes Learning from our mistakes is a robust process that significantly enriches our understanding and skills. Each time we reflect on a mistake, we gain insights that contribute to our knowledge base, allowing us to grasp complex concepts more thoroughly. By actively applying these lessons to avoid repeating similar errors in the future, we enhance our competencies, becoming more skilled and effective in our pursuits. Moreover, sharing our experiences and the lessons we've learned with others is equally important. By doing so, we help those around us avoid the pitfalls we've encountered, which benefits them and fosters stronger relationships built on trust and mutual respect. Engaging in open discussions about our mistakes creates an environment of collaboration and support, reinforcing our connections with others. In summary, mistakes are not merely setbacks but valuable opportunities for growth. By transforming our errors into lessons, applying what we've lear...

  Making a difference in other’s lives We have the power to significantly change the lives of others when we embrace and understand the reasons behind our differences. Recognising that everyone has unique perspectives, beliefs, and experiences is essential. Just as we desire our opinions to be acknowledged and respected, we must equally extend that same courtesy to others. By actively listening and valuing these differences, we create an environment of mutual respect and understanding. This fosters deeper connections and allows us to build more meaningful relationships. Moreover, we can impact others' lives by ensuring that every interaction with them is intentional and adds value. Whether through offering support, sharing knowledge, or simply being present, our efforts can enrich their experiences. Ultimately, the goal is to contribute positively to their journey, helping them to feel appreciated and understood. M.L. Narendra Kumar         ...

  Making a difference in our lives Understanding that we have only one life can profoundly impact our daily choices and perspectives. This realisation acts as a catalyst, prompting us to prioritise our physical and mental well-being. By recognising the finite nature of our existence, we are motivated to adopt healthier habits, exercise regularly, and nourish our bodies with nutritious foods. Additionally, we become more mindful of our mental health, seeking activities promoting relaxation, resilience, and happiness. Ultimately, this awareness encourages us to lead a more fulfilling life, making intentional choices that enhance our quality of life and foster a greater sense of purpose. M.L. Narendra Kumar
