Happy Doctor’s Day

  Happy Doctor’s Day As a savior of health, the doctor is a formidable warrior against disease, embodying the epitome of ambition and serving as a symbol of sacrifice.

They are the guardians of well-being, tirelessly working to add years to people's lifespans.   On National Doctors' Day, we extend our heartfelt appreciation to all doctors and wish them good health and a sound mind as they continue to save mankind from illness.   M.L. Narendra Kumar          

Offensive and Defensive strategies in business

  Offensive and Defensive strategies in business Offensive and defensive strategies are essential for success in various contexts, whether in sports or business. These strategies involve approaches taken to attack or protect against opponents or threats. In sports such as soccer, coaches often need to decide whether to adopt an offensive or defensive approach to a match. This decision is based on an assessment of their team's strengths and weaknesses and an analysis of the opponent's strategy. Offensive strategies can encompass a wide range of tactics in businesses aimed at driving growth and capturing market opportunities. Examples include increasing sales, expanding product lines, penetrating new markets, appointing new dealers or distributors, and implementing cross-selling and up-selling techniques. Conversely, defensive strategies safeguard the business from various threats and risks. For instance, when facing new competitors, defensive measures can involve offerin...

Artificial Intelligence -The future

  Artificial Intelligence -The future Artificial intelligence is a result of the continuous evolution of human intelligence. As we seek to simplify our lives, the complexity of systems increases. This technological advancement may not be readily accessible to all, but it promises simplified solutions and greater ease in daily life for many. Those at the forefront of these innovations stand to grow exponentially in skills and wealth. While only some possess the expertise to develop artificial intelligence, there are opportunities to invest in companies driving these futuristic advancements. By consistently investing in such companies, we can look forward to their potential future growth and opportunities, fostering a sense of optimism and hope for the future. M.L. Narendra Kumar          

Lesson than a minute Lesson-2429 Mind and Meaningfulness

  Lesson than a minute Lesson-2429 Mind and Meaningfulness In the intricate workings of perception, it's not simply a matter of the eyes neglecting their duty to see. Rather, it's the mind's failure to exert its commanding influence over the act of seeing. When the cognitive faculties are burdened with worries and distractions, they cannot effectively direct our attention towards perceiving our surroundings' essential and meaningful aspects. When we set aside our worries, we can free ourselves from the burden of life and start learning how to overcome our worries M.L. Narendra Kumar Director Instivate Learning Solutions PVT LTD www.instivatelearning.in

Truth -Least Spoken

  Truth -Least Spoken Truth can be a bitter pill to swallow, and just as people avoid bitter pills, they also avoid truth. Truth is not easy to digest; it requires an open mind to see things as they are, without bias. Truth has the power to challenge our belief systems, and it demands a change in our attitudes, likes, and dislikes. It requires us to stop blindly following and defending those we admire. While truth can be described on paper, it can only be spoken or understood in reality if we are open-minded and willing to change. The price we pay for not accepting the truth is so high that it may only be settled by future generations. M.L. Narendra Kumar                      

The Samurai and The Monk

  The Samurai and The Monk Inside every one of us resides an inner Samurai, symbolizing our strength and resilience. This inner warrior is tasked with identifying and eliminating the negative aspects of our being, akin to using a Katana to cut through obstacles and adversity. In addition, we should nurture our inner Monk, who embodies tranquillity and introspection. The Monk serves as the gardener of our mind, diligently cultivating positive thoughts and emotions to enhance our mental landscape. Our minds function not merely as storage devices but rather as sophisticated processors capable of generating a fulfilling and purposeful life. The experiences and wisdom accumulated in our minds can be shared with others, enriching their lives and contributing to humanity's collective wisdom. M.L. Narendra Kumar      

Lesson than a minute Lesson-2428 Need for a Critical Mindset

  Lesson than a minute Lesson-2428 Need for a Critical Mindset We should be mindful not to get carried away by emotionally charged speeches, as not all may be based on factual information. It is important to approach what we see, hear, or read with a critical mindset.   In today's technological world, it is easier than ever to be deceived by misinformation and propaganda. M.L. Narendra Kumar Director Instivate Learning Solutions PVT LTD www.instivatelearning.in  

Lesson than a minute Lesson-2427 Embracing Differences

  Lesson than a minute Lesson-2427 Embracing Differences Understanding and accepting differences is essential in our interactions with others. When we learn to live with differences, we develop the ability to relate and connect with people on a deeper level. It's important to recognise that difference doesn't imply indifference toward us; rather, it signifies that we have the freedom to think and perceive things differently. Embracing diversity of thought and opinion enriches our lives and broadens our perspectives, leading to a more inclusive and harmonious society. M.L. Narendra Kumar Director Instivate Learning Solutions PVT LTD www.instivatelearning.in

Chasing too many Rabbits…

  Chasing too many Rabbits… Inspired by Zen quote A monk observed a young boy chasing a group of rabbits and asked his disciple, "How many rabbits do you think this young boy will catch?" The disciple pondered and replied, "Maybe 2-3 rabbits." The monk shook his head and said, "None." Perplexed, the disciple asked, "Master, why do you feel so?" The monk explained, "The boy is distracted by the sight of too many rabbits, causing him to mentally juggle which one to catch. His lack of focus will hinder his decision-making and slow his speed. Ultimately, he will come back empty-handed." The disciple nodded in agreement with the master's insight. The monk continued, "In life, many people are like this young boy, chasing multiple dreams without ever settling on one. Some embark on numerous projects simultaneously, only to abandon them halfway through, feeling unfulfilled. Unless we cultivate the skill of concentrating o...

Lucrative job not at the cost of your career

  Lucrative job not at the cost of your career A career that aligns with your long-term aspirations and values is more fulfilling than simply chasing a high-paying job offer. It's vital to prioritize pursuing a career that resonates with your goals and ambitions, even if it means turning down a lucrative job offer that aligns differently than your career path. However, if a job opportunity does align with your career goals, it's acceptable to prioritize it over the monetary package if you are not under financial strain. Ultimately, finding contentment and purpose in your current career should take precedence over solely prioritizing financial gain.   Finding a balance between financial stability and personal fulfilment is crucial when considering career choices. M.L. Narendra Kumar      

Less than a Minute Life Lesson-2425 Internal Strength

  Less than a Minute Life Lesson-2425 Internal Strength The robustness of our external state is closely tied to the strength of our internal being. Like how healthy food nourishes the body, positive and healthy thoughts are vital for nurturing and maintaining a healthy mind. M.L.

Understanding Customers

  Understanding Customers All of us are customers. I typed this article on an HP laptop using MS Office Word. I corrected it using Grammarly before sending it through my OnePlus mobile using Hathway Broadband. The purpose of this article is to address entrepreneurs who keep asking me how to understand the customer better. The answer is to ask the customer in you about what makes you buy and stay loyal to a brand. You might get some insights into buying behaviour. As Entrepreneurs, ask your fellow entrepreneurs why people buy and what motivates them to be loyal to a brand. This will provide many ideas about the buying process. Also, ask them to define good customer service, and you'll open a Pandora's box of thoughts. The more we try to understand the customer, our business will refine. Business is not just about selling; it's about solving problems and satisfying customers' needs. Let's consider a major challenge faced by retailers: tough competition from onli...

Walking in others' shoes

  Walking in others' shoes When we walk in others' shoes for a while, we can understand the purpose of the journey, the destination, and the efforts required to reach it. We need to step into others' shoes to understand what they go through. It is better to understand before judging or forming opinions about others . The irony is that we also want others to walk in our shoes, but before we expect that, it is better to first walk in others' shoes. M.L. Narendra Kumar  

Settling down in mind before settling down in life

  Settling down in mind before settling down in life Before people can truly feel settled in life, they often desire stability and contentment. The idea of "settling down" can have different meanings for different individuals, but at its core, it often involves achieving a sense of peace and purpose.   To attain this state of being settled in life, it's crucial to find inner peace and clarity within ourselves. This involves understanding our true purpose, setting meaningful goals that align with that purpose, and creating a clear plan of action to move forward. When we struggle to find this internal sense of settlement, it can make it challenging to define what it truly means to be settled in life. M.L. Narendra Kumar        

Less than a Minute Life Lesson-2424 Job Vs Career

  Less than a Minute Life Lesson-2424 Job Vs Career When we view a job as merely a job, we earn our living. However, when we view a job as a career, we earn money and leave our mark in our chosen field.   It's crucial to consistently improve ourselves in our chosen field to ensure that we have a career, not just a job." M.L. Narendra Kumar Director Instivate Learning Solutions PVT LTD www.instivatelearning.in      

Less than a Minute Life Lesson-2423 Thoughts, Choices and Decisions

  Less than a Minute Life Lesson-2423 Thoughts, Choices and Decisions Our choices in life are often influenced by our thoughts. It's not the decision that changes our lives, but rather the thoughts that lead us to make those decisions. Therefore, it's important to be mindful of the thoughts that we allow to occupy our minds. By being aware of and carefully choosing the thoughts we focus on, we can positively impact our decision-making and, ultimately, our lives. M.L. Narendra Kumar Director Instivate Learning Solutions PVT LTD www.instivatelearning.in  

The Critic Vs Appreciator

  The Critic Vs Appreciator In life, it's common for us to disregard feedback from critics and instead gravitate towards those who consistently praise and appreciate us. However, it's ironic that the criticism we receive can actually help us grow and develop, whereas those who shower us with praise may have ulterior motives to exploit us.   We may never realise our shortcomings if we aren't mindful of this dynamic. By the time we understand this reality, we might already have been taken advantage of by others for their purposes. M.L.Narendra Kumar

Less than a Minute Life Lesson-2422 Mind space for the Genuine

  Less than a Minute Life Lesson-2422 Mind space for the Genuine Avoid giving space in your thoughts to those individuals who speak ill of you behind your back. Their backbiting actions prove their unworthiness and disloyalty.   Instead, focus your energy on those who show genuine support and positivity towards you. M.L. Narendra Kumar Director Instivate Learning Solutions PVT LTD www.instivatelearning.in        

Less than a Minute Life Lesson-2421 Channelling your Anger

  Less than a Minute Life Lesson-2421 Channelling your Anger Constructively channelling your anger is more effective than simply trying to suppress it. While controlling your anger may temporarily calm the situation, it doesn't address the underlying issues. However, by channeling your anger into positive actions or finding healthy outlets for your emotions, you can create long-term solutions and prevent the same situations from triggering your anger in the future. M.L. Narendra Kumar Director Instivate Learning Solutions PVT LTD www.instivatelearning.in    

Are you holding the Door?

  Are you holding the Door? Never forget the importance of small acts of kindness, such as holding the door for someone who is walking behind you. By taking this simple action, you are not only demonstrating your courtesy but also showing your genuine concern for the well-being of others. In life's journey, we encounter numerous opportunities to practice and show empathy and consideration for those around us. Through consistent acts of kindness, these behaviors become ingrained as habits and ultimately shape our character. It's worth emphasizing that in the eyes of others, our character and moral values hold greater significance than mere skills and competencies. M.L.Narendra Kumar

Value -Do we realise it after losing it?

  Value -Do we realise it after losing it? The worth of a person, one's health, or any valuable possession often becomes apparent only after it's lost. This is a common experience that many of us can relate to. In our world of advanced technology, there are instances when we forget to carry a simple pen with us. At times like these, when we find ourselves in need of a pen to jot down notes or sign a document, we often find ourselves frantically searching for one. It's during these moments that receiving a pen from someone, regardless of its monetary value, leads us to appreciate both the giver and the pen itself. Even a simple, inexpensive pen worth just a few rupees becomes incredibly valuable in such situations.   Taking a step back to analyze this, many of us often purchase low-cost pens and, in many cases, tend to misplace them or even give them away easily. This is usually because we perceive a pen's value solely based on its price. However, with time, we m...
