  Listening to your inner voice A whisper deep within each of us exists, a gentle yet powerful voice that guides us and provides warnings. This internal voice, a manifestation of our accumulated experiences and wisdom, is neither loud nor insistent. Some refer to it as instinct, yet its scientific basis remains a topic open for debate. Sometimes, we are advised to "trust our instincts" or "listen to our gut." These expressions genuinely convey the importance of heeding our inner convictions rather than being swayed solely by external influences. By investing time in self-discovery, we nourish our inner strength, enhancing our ability to approach decisions with clarity and confidence. M.L. Narendra Kumar                      

  Butterflies don’t live in Stomachs- They live in Gardens. During presentation skills or public speaking programs, it is common for participants to use the expression "Butterflies in Stomach" to describe experiencing nervousness or anxiety. This idiom is deeply ingrained in everyday language and is often used by students before exams or in unfamiliar situations where one feels exposed. On a lighter note, it's interesting that butterflies are typically associated with beautiful flowers in a garden rather than with the digestive processes of the stomach. The primary objective of this article is not to abolish the use of the idiom but rather to assist those feeling nervous or anxious. Feeling anxious or nervous is not inherently harmful, but it can be liberating. It can be seen as a sign that one is preparing for an important event. While the initial minutes may be a bit uneasy, it is possible to gradually alleviate one's nervousness. ·       Prepare, P...

  Life can be a Gutter or a Garden. We don't need to participate in all the races of life. Life is neither a race, nor are we runners competing. We each have our tracks, where we can decide the speed and to whom to pass the baton. Life becomes miserable when we start comparing and competing. Like different flowers blossoming in the same garden, we can glow in our ways. Let the rat run the race in the gutter, but let's not make our lives a gutter. M.L. Narendra Kumar

  Sell benefits, not competitors Weaknesses. When discussing your products or services, avoiding overemphasising your competitors' weaknesses is essential. This can give the impression of insecurity about your offering or a concern about losing the sale. Instead, focus on aligning your product or service with the customer's specific needs. You can demonstrate why it best satisfies the customer's requirements by highlighting the unique benefits and value. Remember, successful salesmanship involves showcasing the positive attributes of your product or service in a way that fulfils the customer's needs rather than disparaging the competition. M.L. Narendra Kumar

  Finding Peace In his sleek, black sports car, a wealthy man arrived at a serene valley. He took a moment to marvel at the scenic beauty before him, muttering, "Finally, I made it to this calm and silent valley after enduring so much turmoil." As he walked further into the valley, he noticed a middle-aged man sitting serenely near a trickling stream of water. "When did you arrive here?" the wealthy man inquired. With a gentle smile, the man replied, "I live here." The wealthy man admired the man's simple yet contented lifestyle and commented, "You are fortunate to live in such a peaceful place." Upon hearing this, the man smiled and asked the wealthy man, "What brings you here?" The wealthy man paused thoughtfully before responding, "I seek peace and harmony." The man's smile widened, and he gestured for the wealthy man to close his eyes. With a hesitating nod, the wealthy man obeyed. After a minute passed, he opene...

  Removing Ignorance through Knowledge It's crucial to either provide a light source to someone in the dark or guide them to brightness with a torch in hand. Similarly, it's important to impart knowledge to the ignorant or aid them in overcoming ignorance through education rather than condemning them for their lack of knowledge. Ignorance is understandable, but failure to help someone out of ignorance is an inexcusable act of arrogance. It's akin to allowing a person in darkness to suffer needlessly. Knowledge is akin to a torch and should be handed over by the right person to the right individual at the right moment. M.L. Narendra Kumar  

  When Truth and Lie met When Lie met Truth with a sardonic grin, it was a meeting of two opposing forces. In its twisted way, the lie praised Truth, 'You are becoming a rare quality in the modern world.' Truth, in agreement, nodded and replied, 'You are right.' In its pervasive nature, Lie boasted, 'I am everywhere, from the heads of nations to the youngest in kindergartens. I provide a sense of relief and help people escape from others.' The Truth gazed into the eyes of Lie and declared, 'While you spoke to me, you never dared to meet my gaze. But I, talking to you while looking into your eyes, that's the significant difference between us. You lie and keep people shackled with guilt and regret, slowly eroding their self-respect and strength. You lie, you are the tool of the selfish, the poison of society, and one day, you will be the downfall of those who misuse you. In contrast, I, Truth, instil courage, self-esteem, and readiness to face realit...

  Be Passionate about Your Child’s Passion A child's overall well-being and development should not be solely judged by their achievements in various fields. It's essential to guide your child in exploring and finding their passions and actively support them in pursuing them. Instead of simply aiming to fulfil financial obligations, we should encourage individuals to find fulfilment by doing what they love. This creates a world of people driven by passion and purpose rather than just financial motives. M.L. Narendra Kumar  

  Restrict the screen time for your child. As a parent, don't feel proud if your kid can open mobile apps and play games like an expert; instead, you should be worried that your kid is not running, jumping, and shouting outdoors. Don't let your child be indoors for a long time; it will not help the child or the nation in the long run. A child becomes healthy when he plays, runs and shouts; while playing outdoors, the child develops a sense of bonding with friends, speaks and listens. We know that listening, communication, physical endurance, teamwork, and many other qualities are crucial for one's life, irrespective of our chosen field. Henceforth, make it a habit to restrict giving the mobile to your child; there is more to life than gazing at the screen; the world outside has natural colours, lights, fragrances and real people, so let your child experience the same. M.L. Narendra Kumar              

  Four kinds of friends in our lives We all need four types of individuals to offer different kinds of support. Firstly, we need a critic who can provide constructive feedback and question our decisions, helping us to see things from different perspectives. Secondly, a soulmate is empathetic and supportive, willing to listen, and who provides comfort during our most demanding times. Thirdly, a motivator is crucial – someone who uplifts us with inspirational words, encouraging us to pursue our goals and dreams. Finally, a comedian is a person who can bring joy and laughter into our lives, helping us to forget our troubles and find positivity momentarily. Having these diverse individuals in our lives is essential for personal growth and well-being. Each fulfils a unique role that contributes to our emotional and mental fortitude. It's important to reflect on who fulfils these roles in our lives and to recognize that we may also embody these roles for others at different times. ...

  Our perspective matters in business. In the world of business, our perspectives can greatly influence our outcomes. Instead of viewing setbacks as losses, we can see them as valuable opportunities for learning. Similarly, we can shift our mindset by considering gains as not just profits but also as rewards for taking calculated risks. When facing competition, choosing to see it as a source of inspiration rather than a threat can lead to innovative approaches. Problems can be reframed as chances to innovate, and complaints can be seen as a free consulting service, offering insights into areas that require improvement. Furthermore, our employees' poor performance can be perceived as a burden or as an opportunity to refine our people management skills. When making strategic decisions, we can opt to focus on cutting costs or boosting sales. Similarly, the choice between offering discounts or increasing the value of our products or services can significantly impact our positio...

  Let’s Keep Moving When facing challenges, it's important to remember that our progress truly counts, regardless of where others may be. Like the snail and the panther, each with its unique characteristics and abilities, every species in the diverse world of flora and fauna has distinctive traits. Similarly, as human beings, we all possess our strengths and qualities. Let's continue to move forward, recognizing that while speed may be significant in certain situations, it's not a universal measure of success for everyone. M.L. Narendra Kumar

  A good businessman is a Leader first and an Owner next. As a business owner, it's crucial to understand that taking ownership extends beyond the physical aspect of owning the business. It involves shouldering the challenges and uncertainties that come with it and being attuned to the well-being of your employees. Embracing a leadership mindset as a business owner goes beyond just driving the organization forward; it entails nurturing a culture where employees are encouraged to develop their leadership abilities. In essence, an owner who embodies a leadership mentality serves as a source of inspiration and optimism for their team, fostering an environment where everyone is empowered to strive for excellence.

  Boat, Oars and Life A monk was tasked with rowing a boat to transport passengers from one side of the lake to the other. This assignment served as a practical life skill and an opportunity for the monk to engage in meaningful conversations with the people he ferried. During one of these trips, a curious working professional asked the monk, "How do you balance work and personal life?" After a moment of thought, the monk ceased rowing the boat and requested the working professional to take over using only one oar. The professional complied but soon discovered that the boat was hardly moving. Upon instruction to use the other oar and after repeating the attempt, the professional similarly found the boat at a standstill. In response, the monk explained, "One oar represents work, and the other, your personal life. Life doesn't progress by dedicating all attention to work or personal matters alone; rather, balance is achieved when we effectively use both oars accor...
