  Less than a minute lesson -2593 External World The world that celebrates your success today will also criticise your actions when you fail. The more attention you pay to the external world, the less empowered you are within. M.L. Narendra Kumar Director Instivate Learning Solutions PVT LTD

  Accepting our weaknesses and Discovering our Strengths Recognizing our weaknesses is often seen as a sign of vulnerability, but it takes immense strength to acknowledge them. Many people mistakenly believe that admitting to their shortcomings reflects inadequacy. However, it is essential to understand that our weaknesses can sometimes overshadow our strengths, preventing us from realizing our full potential. Once we accept and embrace our weaknesses, we unlock a powerful inner strength known as courage. This courage allows us to confront challenges head-on, learn from our experiences, and ultimately grow as individuals. Acknowledging our imperfections opens the door to personal development, resilience, and an enhanced ability to leverage our strengths effectively. In essence, courage is not the absence of weakness but the determination to rise above it. M.L. Narendra Kumar

  Passion Vs Pressure Passion is vital in the world of sales. If you lack enthusiasm for what you’re selling, you may feel pressured to make sales rather than genuinely connect with customers. This pressure can lead to a stressful experience for you and your clients. Consider the egg analogy: when it breaks from the outside, it leads to an omelette—a product transformed under external influence. In contrast, when an egg breaks from the inside, it gives birth to a chick, symbolizing potential and new beginnings. This illustrates the difference between being driven by outside pressures and nurturing your internal motivations and passions. Embracing your passion for sales can foster genuine customer connections and lead to long-term success. M.L. Narendra Kumar    

  Open Conversation and Training In an organization, individuals' unwillingness to engage in open conversations about each other's mistakes can lead to stagnation in learning and growth. When constructive feedback is not exchanged, errors tend to repeat, ultimately hindering the organization’s ability to meet its goals and objectives. To cultivate a culture of open dialogue, team members need to undergo training focused on several key areas: first, how to provide constructive feedback helpfully and respectfully; second, how to express their opinions clearly and assertively; and third, how to foster emotional resilience to prevent personal feelings from obstructing professional discussions. Without this training, individuals may remain entrenched in their perspectives, closing themselves off to valuable insights and alternative viewpoints. This narrow mindset can prevent the organization from benefiting from collective knowledge and innovative ideas, leading to missed oppo...

  Feed the child Deep within each of us is a child yearning for appreciation and recognition. As we grow, we often concentrate on our duties, pushing forward. Yet, when we are acknowledged, that inner child experiences sheer joy. Everyone—whether at home or work—craves appreciation. Sadly, we frequently lean toward criticism and correction. This tendency can overshadow the reinforcement of positive qualities, leading people to disengage and, ultimately, to lower performance. To inspire those around us—our children, subordinates, or employees—we must take the time to recognize their strengths and gently guide them where improvement is needed. This practice not only sustains relationships but also fuels motivation and empowerment. M.L. Narendra Kumar

  Less than a minute lesson -2591 Waiting, Patience and Articulation While we wait, our patience is tested. Sometimes, we find ourselves in situations where we must wait, which can be frustrating. However, how we communicate with a person who has not been considerate of our time is crucial. Patience can help us articulate our emotions without appearing aggressive in these moments. M.L.

  Less than a minute lesson -2590 Hard Work Some people hardly work and, as a result, do not understand the value of hard work.

  Technology Misuse In today’s digital age, manipulating communication through technology has become increasingly prevalent. People often edit videos to highlight specific phrases or words that may appear harsh or offensive. These manipulated clips can quickly go viral on social media platforms, serving as powerful tools to damage an individual’s reputation. Unfortunately, many people accept these videos at face value, believing the distorted narratives presented to them, which can lead to real-world consequences, including violence. It's important to remember that the context in which a statement is made can drastically alter its meaning. To fully understand the implications of what someone has said, we should take the time to view the entire speech or message rather than make snap judgments based on snippets. In an era dominated by artificial intelligence and rapid information sharing, technology can easily fall into the hands of those who may use it irresponsibly. This pre...

  Less than a minute lesson -2589 Words in Leadership Every word a leader uses can transform lives. In conversations about performance, mistakes, or motivation, let each word motivate others to reach their potential. Just as entrepreneurs carefully invest every penny for the greatest return, so should every word be chosen to ignite action. Choose your words wisely and watch them pave the way for positive change.

  Vision A vision conceived in the mind serves as the foundational first step toward meaningful progress. However, when that vision is articulated and written down, it transforms into the second step, solidifying our thoughts into a tangible form. By actively reviewing this vision at the start and end of each day, we engage with it regularly, constituting the third step in the progression. This constant reflection helps reinforce our commitment and keeps the vision at the forefront of our minds. Once we embrace our vision as the central purpose of our lives, we create a strong guiding force. At that point, we can no longer look back; every decision and action we take will be intentionally directed toward realizing that vision, creating a pathway for focused and sustained progress. M.L. Narendra Kumar

  An Interview with a Salesperson The interviewer met a salesperson who was awarded as the best salesperson; he asked him to share his success story. The salesperson said the following He said the world calls me successful, but I call myself a student of life. I don't know which door will open, but I am ready to knock all the doors. Customers will reject me, but I have decided not to get dejected. I know every day is not my day, but I can take something from every day. I know the prospect will not trust me, but I will keep adding relationships to their trust account, and one day, he will call me and give me some business. I know my conviction improves when I know my products well. When I am in the field, my personal matters don't exist in my mind. I start my day with a plan and end it with a review to analyse the gap I never achieve my target; I only over-achieve I know my salary will take care of my present; I am fully convinced that my incentive will t...

  Jigsaw Puzzle and Organisations In a behavioural training program aimed at enhancing teamwork and collaboration, a trainer organised the participants into two groups of twelve individuals each. Each group was given a jigsaw puzzle to assemble, setting the stage for an insightful exercise on the dynamics of group behavior.   Group 1 received explicit instructions to work together diligently to complete the puzzle. They were encouraged to communicate openly and coordinate their efforts to piece together the fragmented image. This group quickly embraced the task, sharing their thoughts and strategies, which allowed them to work effectively and harmoniously. They experienced a sense of unity as they progressed, celebrating their collective achievements with cheers and congratulations once they successfully finished the puzzle.   In contrast, Group 2 faced a different dynamic. While most of this group was given the same jigsaw puzzle, a few select members were removed ...

  Emotions are inevitable, but behaviour is there in our hands. Humans are inherently emotional, and experiencing a wide range of emotions is fundamental to our existence. Emotions such as joy, sadness, fear, and anger are inevitable and arise in response to various situations and stimuli. However, it is crucial to recognise how we express and manage these emotions, as they can vary significantly. For instance, while feeling anger is a natural emotional response, how we choose to react to that anger is within our control. Instead of resorting to behaviours like yelling or lashing out, we can opt for healthier methods of expression, such as calmly discussing our feelings or cooling down. By understanding the distinction between our emotions and our reactions, we empower ourselves to navigate challenging moments more effectively and cultivate healthier relationships with ourselves and others.   M.L. Narendra Kumar      

  Habits-Makes or Breaks Success and failure are not simply intrinsic qualities; they are outcomes that stem from the habits we cultivate in our daily lives. Our habits shape our actions, decisions, and, ultimately, our results. Instead of attributing our setbacks to external circumstances or forces beyond our control, reflecting on and evaluating our habits is far more constructive. By doing so, we can identify patterns that may hold us back and make the necessary adjustments to foster a path toward success. Taking responsibility for our habits empowers us to create positive change and attain our goals. M.L. Narendra Kumar    

  An untrained employee is much costlier than a trained employee. The expenses associated with untrained employees manifest in various detrimental ways, including frequent mistakes, project delays, subpar quality of work, and a hostile atmosphere within the team. These issues hinder productivity, damage the company’s reputation, and affect overall morale. In contrast, investing in employee training is significantly more cost-effective in the long run. By providing adequate training, organizations can equip their employees with the necessary skills and knowledge to perform their tasks efficiently. This leads to improved performance, higher-quality outcomes, and a more positive work environment. In essence, the benefits of training far outweigh the costs, making it a wise investment for any business aiming for sustainable success. M.L. Narendra Kumar                

  Understanding the Influence of Perception on Judgment Our perceptions play a significant role in shaping our judgments about others, often leading us to make assumptions that may not reflect reality. For example, when we encounter an individual driving a high-end luxury vehicle, we tend to perceive them as wealthy and successful. This assumption can unintentionally lead us to conclude that they are financially secure and live lavish lifestyles. Conversely, when we see someone riding a scooter, our immediate perception may be that they are not affluent or are struggling financially. This thinking pattern illustrates how our judgments can stem from superficial attributes, like the mode of transportation a person uses, rather than from a deeper understanding of their circumstances. While there are instances when these perceptions might align with reality—such as when a person truly is wealthy because they own a luxury car—this is not a universal truth. In reality, some individ...
