  Failure is not fatal, and success is not final. When a business experiences setbacks, such as failures or missed targets, it often leads to intense discussions in the boardroom. These meetings typically involve thorough root cause analyses and postmortems, where team members sometimes assign blame to one another. This scenario is all too familiar and, unfortunately, is a frequent reality in the business world. Conversely, when the same business achieves success or even exceeds its targets, the focus shifts to planning celebrations to acknowledge and reward these accomplishments. Such gatherings for celebration are also quite common. However, before we rush to arrange festivities to honour our successes, it is crucial to pause and reflect on the factors that contributed to our achievements. To do this effectively, we should consider the following questions:     I.        Was our success a result of undue stress and pressure, or di...

  Less than a minute Lesson-2708 Knowing Vs Doing Understanding the dos and don'ts of life alone isn't sufficient for living well. It's essential to follow the actions listed in the dos and avoid those in the don'ts.     In our information-driven world, simply knowing isn't enough; it's the actions we take that truly matter.

  By Products vs Main Products If we continue to focus more on by-products rather than the main product, we risk losing both the quality and quantity of the main product. This isn't just about production; it's about our lives. The main priorities in life are good health and peace. The more we emphasize these, the healthier and longer we will live. Instead, we have shifted our focus toward wealth, career, and pleasure—the by-products of life—while treating them as primary goals. This has led generations to chase these by-products, resulting in stress, health issues, and mental challenges. Today, society faces a shortage of healthy and positive individuals due to a lack of understanding about what should indeed be prioritized. Let’s discuss physical and mental well-being in our gatherings. If you work in an organization, promote the importance of a healthy body and mind. As educators, discuss healthy eating habits with your students. We must continue to spread the message abo...

  Less than a minute Lesson-2707 Respect Genuine respect is not based on power, wealth, or social status; it should be extended to every human being, regardless of their background or identity.   Just as we wish to be respected for who we are, we must also respect others for who they are. M.L. Narendra Kumar Director Instivate Learning Solutions PVT LTD        

  Less than a minute Lesson-2706 Friendship When we reunite with our friends, we not only relive our memories but also create new ones for the future.   Meeting friends not only brings back our memories but also helps us appreciate the present.

  Increasing income or changing the mindset towards income If you can't increase your income, take a moment to review your competencies and your spending habits. If you believe you are competent and being compensated fairly, then focus on your spending. If you find your expenses to be excessive, identify which ones you can reduce. If you feel your spending is appropriate, consider changing your mindset about increasing your income. If you fail to do so, you may end up feeling a sense of scarcity, which can lead to dissatisfaction with your current situation and negatively impact your performance, ultimately hindering your potential for income growth. When we hear advice to be content with what we have, it’s important not to accept it blindly. Instead, critically evaluate your own situation to understand the reasoning behind such advice. M.L. Narendra Kumar    

  Life can be wasted or crafted. When we view work as a burden, we begin to think about retirement. This mindset leads us to feel as though we are already aging. Once we perceive ourselves as old, we become tired, and that tiredness reinforces our belief that work is a burden. This creates a negative loop, causing us to struggle each day and long for the end of our work hours. Conversely, if we shift our attitude towards work and view it as an opportunity to engage our mind and body, we will begin to think about personal improvement. This mindset keeps us young at heart. When we maintain a youthful perspective, we stop aging in our minds and can remain vibrant in our lives. Staying youthful in our mindset encourages us to accomplish more each day and view work as an opportunity to stay mentally and physically fit. Life can either be wasted or crafted; it all depends on how we perceive and respond to our actions. M.L. Narendra Kumar  

  Appreciate to Motivate When we fail to recognize the extra efforts made by our subordinates, we inadvertently demotivate them. If we limit our appreciation to only achievements or successes, recognition will become rare. To genuinely appreciate these extra efforts, we must actively observe our team members and inquire about their approaches and the reasoning behind their work. Engaging in these conversations will not only encourage them but also help them improve over time, motivating them to go the extra mile. Appreciation boosts motivation, which in turn drives individuals to achieve more. Take some time to list the people you would like to appreciate, and start doing it from today—and make it a habit moving forward. M.L. Narendra Kumar          

  What Does Your Faith Truly Worship? Imagine a world where divinity is sold to the highest bidder—where your devotion is measured not by the depth of your spirit, but by the weight of your wallet. If you can pay to skip the line and stand before your god while others wait, ask yourself: What are you truly worshipping? A sacred force beyond human comprehension, or a lifeless statue, carved by human hands and monetized for profit?   This is not faith; it is a transaction. When privilege buys priority, it exposes a harsh truth: the "god" being served here is not divine. It is a man-made idol, designed to exploit hope and create hierarchy. Those who pay to cut the line are not “blessed”; they are complicit in a system that trades spirituality for superficial power. And those who wait patiently, believing their suffering will be rewarded, are trapped in a cycle of self-delusion. Since when did true grace require a ticket?   Let’s be clear: faith cannot be bought, and ...

  Silencing the voice isn't a solution. Silencing the voices of the masses is not a solution; it is a seed sown for a people's revolt. If that revolt is mishandled, it may escalate into a revolution where the people take control, and the politicians' voices will be silenced in the future. A nation is built by the people, for the people. If these voices are stifled through a fascist approach by political leaders, it could lead to outcomes similar to those of Mussolini and Hitler. No nation can reach its full potential without listening to its citizens. Dissent is a form of feedback that reflects dissatisfaction; if taken positively, it can foster engaging conversations that add value for everyone involved and help the government correct its mistakes, ultimately leading to a more citizen-oriented country. Many voices have been silenced in the past, but those who have passed away serve as an inspiration for future generations. Whether it's Che Guevara or Martin Luthe...

  Less than a minute Lesson-2705 Silence and Dialogue If silence can serve a purpose, maintain it; if dialogue can serve a purpose, engage in it. The art of communication cannot be mastered, but it can be developed daily once we understand when to remain silent and when to speak up. M.L. Narendra Kumar Director Instivate Learning Solutions PVT LTD    

  Less than a minute Lesson-2704 Embrace Unhappiness Every day does not need to be a happy day; we also need to face some pain to strengthen our hearts and feed our brains with positivity. Next time you're unhappy, remind yourself that today is a day to improve your heart and remain calm and positive, welcoming the next day with optimism. M.L. Narendra Kumar Director Instivate Learning Solutions PVT LTD

  Financial Strength A business that is not profitable is essentially operating like a charity, and a business that lacks financial reserves is on the brink of failure. Ultimately, every business is evaluated based on its financial success. Stakeholders, including customers, suppliers, employees, and shareholders, base their trust in the company on its financial strength. As you embark on this new financial year, take the time to conduct a financial health check of your company. Assess it according to the parameters that are relevant to your industry. If you identify any gaps, delve into the root causes and set your goals accordingly to strengthen your financial position. May this financial year bring you sufficient funds to cover your expenses, additional resources to share with your employees, and a growing reserve for the future. M.L. Narendra Kumar    

    Less than a minute Lesson-2703 Opportunities When we miss the bus, it doesn’t mean our journey has come to an end; it simply means we may need to defer our plans or reschedule. Similarly, when we miss an opportunity, it doesn’t mean our life is over. Instead, we should rework our approach towards opportunities or prepare ourselves for the next one. M.L. Narendra Kumar Director Instivate Learning Solutions PVT LTD      

  Love what you do When you love what you do, you will accomplish more than you ever thought possible.   When you love what you do, you will find joy in your work.   When you love what you do, you will wake up each day with a sense of purpose.   When you love what you do, you will be determined to finish what you set out to complete.   When you love what you do, you will approach it with passion.   When you love what you do, you will continually seek to improve your skills.   When you love what you do, you will rarely complain about it.   When you love what you do, you will never wish for the day to end.   When you love what you do, you will truly live for it.   Love is not just about relationships; it is also about how much you love yourself and your passions. Fall in love with what you do again, and discover the lover within you. M.L.Narendra Kumar    

  Selling to enabling Purchase -A change in approach in sales A salesperson becomes more productive not just by making sales but by building trust and relationships with customers. Customers prefer to work with salespeople who genuinely want to help them make informed purchases, solve problems, address issues, narrow down options, and demonstrate the value of their spending. When we approach our work with a mindset focused on selling, we tend to become less customer-centric and more target-oriented. If customers perceive that they are merely being used to achieve our sales targets, their resistance to buying increases, and they may develop an aversion to interacting with the salesperson. It's important to remember that our body language communicates more than our words; while we may sound polite, our nonverbal cues can reveal our true intentions. To avoid these situations, we should always adopt an attitude of service rather than selling, a mindset of solving problems rather ...
