Media and Social Media

In general ordinary media is manipulated and many reporters are either not willing to take the extra strain to find out the truth in full or interested in spreading news favourable to the persons they are interested in.
In my experience I have found many news are either mutilated or not properly reported either wantonly or carelessly
Also reporting without having any humaneness in their approach or blind to the after effects of the reports published in the media on the concerned persons is rampant and earning money, creating sensation and craving for papularity are main guiding factors for such persons
In Social Media interaction is there and as you have clearly expressed it is a tool that can be profitably used by any organization
And as HR deals with Human Behaviour and as the whole world depend on the behavioural patterns of Human Beings they have a bigger and better role to play and most suitably positioned to intervene, improve and increase success rate

Online sales

Online sales picks up fast with one to one contact
You tell your friend about its merits and request the person to forward it to atleast one person after satisfying oneself with the merits of the product
Then the product's value gets enhanced and the news spreads like wildfire boosting the sales of the product
Caution: The first person must have utility for the product and closely known to you
The next links also should be chosen with this criteria
Mere forwarding to all and sundry often evokes mixed responses and the efforts are not fully valued or rewarded
It can be resorted to after following the above method for wider quick reach as an added effort

Stories for the Elderly The Fallen Tree

Stories for the Elderly The Fallen Tree

It is a small colony with four streets and with around 100 households
Suddenly few elderly people joined together and went around the colony informing people that a tricycle for collecting garbage daily in the colony is arranged and every household was requested to pay Rs.15/- per month to the person collecting garbage.
Then as a second step they arranged for planting around 20 trees divided in the four streets
The trees grew taller, bigger and stronger.
One day one houseowner found that the tree adjacent to his house on the road has grown very big and enables anyone to climb it and reach his house roof easily
Therefore he decided to cut the tree and removed the tree from that street
One tree has gone
Then on 5th and 6th December 2010 it rained incessantly and major portions of the four roads were submerged in the stagnant rain water.
Then suddenly one big tree in another street slowly heaved under its weight and fell on the road blocking traffic on that road on 6th December 2010 morning.
The tree remained on the road the whole day and fond memories of its existence over the years flashed in the minds of those who viewed its fallen glory
Under the tree used to sit young boys who wanted to have a glimpse of the girl living in house opposite to the tree parking their motor bykes in the shades
Those who used the road to access their homes situated at a distance used to rest under the shade for some time before proceeding further especially when they had things to carry
In the afternoon when the school was over daily boys and girls on their way home used to sit, chat and play under the shades of this tree
In the evening children from nearby localities used to come and play under the tree until some body shouted them away not able to tolerate the noise by them while playing
House owners near the tree vied with one another to park their cars under the tree enjoying its shade especially in hot summers
Then there was the very old poor lady who used to collect fallen coconut tree branches to come and sit under the shade to peel off the hard spine of the leaves to make a broom or two and sell them for her livelihood
But she used to be arrogant and shout away anybody trying to park their cars under the tree as she required the whole space to do her work of making out a broom on that day
People used to ignore her arrogance out of sympathy minding her age and her poverty
Now that tree is lying down on the road losing its majestic looks
On 7th December 2010 the Administrative Authorities arranged for cutting and removing the tree from the road and alas now the whole road appears to be vacant
The once standing majestic towering tree is gone
Bye and Good Bye to YOU, the Then Poochi Tree as it is identified by those with botanical knowledge

Half a Day Jobs

Half a day Jobs - a boon to all

Creation of half a day jobs will help people to limit their working hours and devote the available extra time for studies, taking care of their health, home making and enjoy life to make it worth living
Half a day jobs can be created in both Government offices and Private concerns for all the sexes
And the future development may enable persons to choose well in advance how they would like to work during the next Quarter, Half or Whole Year providing the much necessary flexibility in work to synchronize work with life
It ensures more employment - minimum employment for more people and a boon to really women workers who are overburdened both at the home front and the office

It became very interested in the small kitten the first animal it has seen.
It wanted to be its friend.

Teaching Soft Skills

Wishing YOU a Nice Day
Individuals can be broadly grouped in the following categories
a) Persons who mix easily with others - say even strangers
b) Persons who do not mix easily with any other person - mostly fit to work with machines in isolation
c) Persons who are in between these two categories in various degrees
d) Persons are by nature very different from each other possessing
1) Politeness in various degrees
2) Power of Expression in various degrees
3) Participation in discussion in various degrees
Thus depending on the slot where they fit one has to choose and separate the persons into groups so that a specific program can be designed for that particular group to have the best results in a very short duration
On specific questions in this regard I can elaborate more
Wishing YOU all the Best

Village Vs City - India

Cities Vs Villages - The Migration - Is it for the Good ?

In India the village youngsters are lured towards the riches and enjoyments of the cities
Except the villages positioned near cities all distant villages are slowly becoming vacant and deserted
A Village
Normally a village is a safe place with every new trespasser or visitor identified and questioned
But one has no privacy in a village
A City
Once people migrate to a city from a village the hospitality, compassion etc ., which they had earlier have to be forgotten due to situations prevailing in the cities where nobody can be identified or judged as to their intentions except in closely knit planned societies
The soul is lost in a city due to various compulsions

Festivals - Then & Now

Festivals are meant to make people happy
They were designed in those days to provide relaxation, enjoyment and happiness to all

If the days of Festivals are going to make you anxious about money to be provided, worried about the expenses to be incurred in connection with them and make you unhappy - then - tell me how we can redesign the Festivals for all segments of people to be celebrated with real involvement and happiness

Evaluation

Evaluation of employees is done periodically to take corrective measures to ensure smooth functioning of any organization and accelerate growth with increased productivity and decreased expenses by streamlining processes and introduce innovations in production, operation, functioning etc..
Apppraisal is one of the tools employed to evaluate employees
After the appraisal reports are obtained a standing committee comprising of experienced executives and experts in different fields related to the organizational activity should study, analyse and suggest various methods like mentoring, coaching, counseling, training, shifting from one department to another, in extreme cases removal from service etc.. to keep the organization going and growing
Every individual is different and mostly all are amenable to reasonable help if provided in suitable doses to correct themselves to be successful employees
Handling them properly will help retain the available workforce in good shape
As after all committed employees are one of the valuable and rare assets an organization can procure to survive and surpass its competitors

Self Appraisal

Appraisals
Few Random Thoughts
A well designed Self Appraisal every month or a quarter from individuals to be appraised will help motivate them properly
A sincere and efficient study of the Self Appraisals and suitable actions taken on them in time will reward the organization permanently
A 360 degree appraisal will help know the real and true position
A masterplan to execute the above with periodical review will help keep up the morale in the organization
Well understood employees contribute more to the growth of the organization than a Chief who lacks vision, wisdom, and sincerity in providing true and effective Leadership to his/her subordinates

Managing a Company

Be proactive
Keep one's mind eyes and ears open
Explore new avenues and let one's thoughts widen
Anticipation is necessary
Continous efforts to improve is necessary

Take the case of driving
In driving a vehicle the driver has to anticipate anything and everything to continue to drive safely
Keep one's eyes and ears open while driving
One's mind should concentrate on driving only
That is the purpose should be remembered always
Follow the rules and adapt to the available traffic

Similarly one should run his/her company/organisation also

The Holy Shrines of Different Religions in India - Origin

Thought for consideration:

Facts: India is a nation where anybody and everybody is given a warm welcome, as we Indians are known for our hospitality towards all people and all religions.

Known history: During different regimes in the past Aryans, Mangols, Muslims, English, French, Portugals etc, marched into this Country and invading it ruled it for years.
People got converted to various religions due to different reasons.

Logical Conclusion: Different religions started their own places of worship with various Gods to engage people in their religious activities over the years.

The Truth: Thus most of the present days Holy Shrines of different religions are built on another religious place of worship only.
History proves that whenever the rulers change, many original religious places of the previous ruler were demolished and new Holy Shrines were built in those places conforming to the religions of the new ruler. The same act was continued with the change in the rulers every time over the years.

Human Resource Management & Organisation Development

Promotions - Impact on the individuals & the Organisation
It all depends on the individual
And it defers from individual to individual
I have seen people who move up the ladder changing their colours to suit their selfish ends and held no firm principles to conduct their day to day activity within & outside the organisations
And there is another minority who always behave in the same way whether they were in a lower cadre and maintained a uniform approach to their principles and beliefs even when they moved from one cadre to another
The uniformity in their thinking and actions is possible only because they had the calibre to reach and remain in high posts even while they joined the lower cadre
They had to join as a labour due to various factors as opportunity constraint, etc
But once they reached the top of Management they held the same views which originally they had long time ago when they started their career
There are still few who when joining a labor job may not have qualities of mature thinking which is a necessity for a person in the top management
But as they rose in the organisation from one stage to another developed the qualities of a good and efficient Manager
Thus there are three major categories
1. There are few people who whether they are in the labor or Managerial posts always think high and have qualities befitting that of a top Management Person
They are the salt of any organisation. They have to be identified and encouraged to go up the ladder
2. There are many people who change their qualities when there is a change in the post they hold and here we have 2 subdivisions
a) Those who change for the better learning & improving themselves with promotions
b) Those who change only their colours & act in selfish ways to reap benefit only for themselves and neglect organisational welfare
3. The third category people are those who by some fortune get promotions but never improve themselves and are a drag to the organisation

360 Degrees Performance Review

A 360 degrees performance review is an effective way of assessing a person's capabilities fully and completely
Collect opinions & reports about the individual from
1.Superiors
2.Colleagues
3.Subordinates
4.Other staff who happen to work with him even occassionally
5.If exposed to outsiders collect feedfack from all categories
6.The decision maker himself/herself can have one or two interaction with the person directly if needed
7.Collect a self appraisal from the individual himself/herself
Have a judicious study indepth of all these information to judge the person correctly before important decisions are taken

Violence in Work Premises

Most of the times violence is the product of unwanted & unnecessary provocation, frustration, anger against injustice etc.,
In few cases a person may be disturbed mentally and resort to violence
When a person is violent due to mental imbalance then one can anticipate it and take necessary precaution and care to avoid getting shot at or attacked with any lethal weapons by the individual
But in other cases if sufficient opportunities are allowed for the employee to change oneself and in the end after following a well programmed procedure to take action of suspension or dismissal in the event of a justified decision mostly people do not react to the extant of becoming violent instantaneously
Soul search is more necessary in such cases whether the Management has got a clean slate

Reminiscences

Every day brings new inputs and new enjoyments
Every friend adds new dimensions in life to turn life joyful
In the wilderness alone on a byke I used to travel miles enjoying solitude and Nature was with me bestowing Her Beauty & Peace - making my heart to sing and fly leaping into the sky - Oh - those days still make me happy
Lots of happy memories fill old age with joy and happiness
Happy recollections - are fruits of hard and sincere work in the younger days
That is the reward the Creator has bestowed on me for which I am grateful to HIM

Money

Money
Yes I need Money
I love to earn Money and Spend it for my enjoyment
How much Money do I need ?

The Success Story
Limit one's wants to the maximum minimum level
Then one's need for money is limited
Then one need to work only to that extent
Then the extra amount one earns is a surplus
Then One should stop pursuing Money and after ensuring a steady income live to enjoy life with his/her MONEY
But in life people do not have real enjoyment and have no time for real living but under an illusion madly go after money and waste their life in safeguarding it
The more money one has the more worried he/she is and waste their time and energy in protecting it
Religions say that a rich man can never realise God until and unless one severs his/her greed for Money
Many have not seen all their wealth physically or enjoyed all the wealth but only have the satisfaction of thinking that they have that much of money
If mere thinking of the wealth one could not fully see and feel can make him/her happy then anybody can also imagine that he/she has a lot of wealth and remain happy
How is it ?

Revelation

Everything is perfect in God's Creations
Accept things as they are

But it requires a lot of maturity and improved mental make up to accept such a situation and think like this
But in my age I think that it is OK to understand and accept this philosophy
My father used to tell that once you start having grey hair ie actually turning into white hair from black that shows that you should stop waging war with the world and begin to become peaceful with it using the white flag - your white hair
The Tamil saying goes like this
Avanandri Anuvum Asaiyathu
That is nothing will happen without HIS Permission
Bhagavad Gita also tells that
Whatever that has happened has happened only in the right way
Whatever that is happening is also happening only in the right way
OK let me practice all these well founded truths at least from now onwards

Travel & Tours

I always enjoy travel and tours
It gives me an opportunity to relax and think with a lot of leisure time
Many may not like travel
Reasons:
First the mode of journey is not comfortable
They are unable to think or watch others and enjoy life
Many forget that all vehicles either a 2,3,4 or any wheeler is a moving body and is subject to the rules of Newton's law of motion
Many sit on a seat of a vehicle as if it is a chair or a sofa
No
Remember it is a moving body
There are different rules to ride or travel in them
To know more
Wait
I am on a vacation for two weeks
Let me please continue after that if YOU want to hear me
This is the reason why many people suffer from back aches, spinal disorders and neck pain
And I wonder how many Doctors know the Laws of Motion of Sir Isaac Newton

Better Worldliness

There is a saying in Tamil

Those who do not have the grace of God have no place in Heaven
Those who do not have enough money have no place in the World

Merely existing in the world has no meaning and YOU should live a better life and it is called Better Worldliness

You should live a Meaningful, Enjoyable and Successful Life

What is better worldliness ?
How do you define it ?
How to achieve it ?

How can we classify people to study their life ?

Those who hold positions influence others' lives
Those who have money influence others' actions
Those who have knowledge influence others' decisions

By setting an example, by your way of living you can change others to think and follow you to become tuned to a life of better worldliness

I note to elaborate on the above lines in due course

Thinking

Whether anybody is following or not I am following all the discussions on Linkedin as I do have enough time at my disposal

Break up of Thoughts

I find a trend in the comments made on Linkedin
Once a person comments on a certain pattern people join the rat race and continue to follow the pattern
They don't want to be left alone
They want to join and join the race
When one read the comment or view the question the thought process of that person is kindled and he/she is happy that he/she also can give a comment
It satisfies their ego and the thinking makes them satisfied and energised

Whether I have prepared well or not I always used to enjoy attending written examinations while I was a student and I continue to be a student as I am now doing my MBA in HR since I had no time while I was in service

The examination hall gives you enough opportunity without any distractions and force to sit and concentrate only on the work of answering the questions and the questions kindle your thought processes and this exercise gratifies me more than anything

I love thinking

Examination halls, travel time provide me excellent conducive atmosphere to think

Thanks for making me think more on these lines

Depression halts your activity
You are forced to slow down
It makes you to think compulsorily to come out of the depression
At times you stop all activity and your fight to come out of depression starts
It activates your resources and reserve energy
At times you stumble on new tools and new strengths that you have not noticed so far
Once you come out of it successfully you find yourself reinforced

Education in India

Upto High School level Children have to study together

Language

Mathematics
Science
Social Studies
etc

Languages have to be learnt to speak, read, write and to understand
Learn according to your needs

Many people are good at Mathematics

But they fail in Social Studies etc

Mathematics and Science can be learnt together

But where it is not possible for the child should the child be compelled to learn all the above subjects together

Is it necessary

Why not allow the child to choose either a combo of

Maths and Science

or

Social Studies with some other subject suitable for his/her future ambitions

More combinations can be worked out to tap all the talent

Walking on the Road

I am proud to be an Indian
I am proud to know the richness of this Holy Land
If I am to be born again I will choose only India
India has grown in many fields and is still growing
I note to share the Good Things about our Great Motherland now and then

But now I am going to pinpoint some of the leftovers to be attended by the Administration
Even if you live in a Grand Mansion you may have to clean a dirt or two that you may find here and there now and then

Walking on the Road

Most of our towns and villages do not have any road at all
Even in cities what we call a road is not a road at all
Road means that it will be smooth, without any pot holes, without any damages, with the right kind of gradient so that driving will be a pleasure and no water will stagnate even during railny days

When you think of the above requirements really we cannot and will not call most of the so called roads as roads at all

Actually they are forest foot paths fit to be used by elephants and other animals

And when they are not even fit for people to walk on how can they become motorable roads

But we live with them and walk on them and that too with small children walking by our side

Caution::

As mostly you do not have any pavements on most of the roads you only walk in the edge of the road exposed to the traffic

Even where pavements are provided they are either occupied unauthorisedly by some vendor or not fit for use being dirty and damaged

So whenever you walk on the road in India always walk on the right side of the road so that you can see the oncoming traffic and save yourself

In India we follow the rule 'Keep Left' while driving

When you walk with children walking beside you hold them to your right i.e., near the edge of the road and not on the left where the traffic is moving on the road so that the child is under your protecting care and covered from traffic by you

To practice brotherhood of man and Fatherhood of God in its true sense

Anger - Super Person

Anger comes out of frustration, inability, weakness
A strong healthy intelligent person never gets angry on impulse in an uncontrollable manner
He shows anger, symptoms of anger only to control, manage persons as a tool, so as to show his displeasure etc.,
He is personally not affected by the anger
He is not controlling or concealing anger
He is not actually angry, emotionally affecting his body and mind
But he exhibits anger as a tool of management
Because he is trained like that
Anger never affects him
He is not affected or perturbed by any event that makes many ordinary people angry
It is an art
Learn it so that you will not have ulcers,and you will become a Super Person
All can become Super Persons

Angry person's decisions, judgements tend to be wrong
When you are angry in the normal sense never take any decisions if you cannot manage your anger as explained above
There is a saying
Never promise or announce any gift to anyone when you are very happy
Never punish or take any decisions when you are angry (in the normal sense)

Why some people behaved so ?

We do see big people in responsible high posts, very high scholars, and so called great men behave childishly, in a silly way and at times indulging in immoral ways lowering their dignity and image in the minds of the society
We wonder whether some particular person behaved so ?
Why do so ?

Because A Tamil Sage and Saintly Poet Thiruvalluvar says that

However a man may be educated whatever great books he could have read and acquired high degrees in education
Only his natural behaviour imbibed in him from his birth will prevail

This may not be visible to us most of the times but in circumstances his original colour will be exposed to the society by his such acts and then the world wonders how could such a great man as he was could have behaved so ?

History is full of such examples

Hence beware of all and a balanced and required amount of caution in all your interpersonal relationship will help you always not to have heart burns on a later occassion

Work Pressure

Most of the time I have worked under pressure only due to the nature of my job
I first understand the problem
Chalk out strategies
Rope in additional support whereever required and available
Delegate properly some work
Monitor the progress continously
Keep a notepad handy reducing every thought into writing and arrange priorities
Relax mentally and refer to the notes now and then and strike off finished work one by one
Carry over the rest for finishing them in due course
Whenever time permits have a drink (water in India) relax a moment have a walk around the premises say Hello to someone and again submerge in work
When met with stumbling blocks shout aloud attract attention of superiors colleagues and never keep the problems to myself struggling for a solution
The support and intervention of Superiors and Colleagues and even subordinates will help solve the problem in no time and easily
Then Go Ahead in full steam

Real Experience in Managing Persons

I was a Branch Manager in State Bank of India in a small town
I had already surplus subordinates to do messengerial jobs
My superiors found one arrogant employee who tried to assault his previous Manager and he was purposely posted to my Branch
He was very arrogant and even will not respond to my wish of a Good Morning
Then I simply ignored him
I did not give him or allot any work to him
But I was very good at HR and my activities and actions in dealing with the customers and other staff was watched by him
He became very curious as to my intentions and could not digest that a Manager can also act as I did
His all previous Managers were authoritative and did not follow any HR practices
As I was found to be an odd man out of the Managers species he could not control himself any longer
After a few months he dashed into my chamber and shouted at me
'Why did you become a Branch Manager ?
Why are you behaving so ?
I am unable to fight with YOU'
Then I laughed and asked him what he wants me to do
He wanted work to be allotted to him hereafter
I asked him to take up any work he likes and do it giving him complete freedom and told him that I have confidence in him
Surprisingly he took up the work of assisting the clerk who usually closes the Branch Books in the evening which is very tedious and time consuming process requiring lot of patience and expertise
He started sitting late hours voluntarily with the clerk whose working hours are staggered while his was not as per the allotment done and help finish the work faster and with ease with his full committed assistance
I could only provide him my office car to go home daily evening as transportation to his village is a difficult one with less frequency and time consuming which he accepted gladly as he had no other alternative and it gave him a lot of satisfaction and raised his value in the eyes of his relatives and other villagers
That he is dropped daily in the office car meant for the Branch Manager
My offers for supply of snacks in the evening was not accepted by him
Such is the transition that took place in him and I was happy that atleast I could tap his potential and made it to the better use for the organisation
Thus so much talent is unfound and go waste in the world in many organisations

Organization - People Vs Revenue

It is fifty fifty position
Both people and revenue are important for the organisation
Without people there will be no revenue
And mere revenue without committed men may not last for long
HR Person's role is to keep up the morale of the workforce and planning for the revenue is the Top Boss' job

Interviews

The interviewer should be sincere qualified and a better person than you knowledge wise
But in India mostly interviews are an elimination process and not a selection process
Real HR Professionals will try to bring out the best from every candidate and then evolve strategies to fit the person in the organisation suitably
As our learned friends have commented above interviewing requires skill and ability to judge
But most interviewers happen to be unfit for this job
But they had to do the job
And they do it as shabbily as possible
Where required we have to enrol the support outside experts and outsourcing at times is required to select the best people

Digital Media & Junk Foods

Nowadays many a parent expose consciously their children to cartoons on Television channels and provide gadgets to play computer games etc making use of digital media to divert them so that the parent can escape from the children to do their daily chores
But this trend makes the child tied to the digital media and deprive them of the open sky and pleasures of the outside world in their childhood
Then the children become addicts and as you have commented stop annoying and turn magically into angels - very silent angels and settle down and remain occupied for very long periods even forgetting their food and sleep and play glued to the TVs and Computers and electronic gadgets
And most of them prefer only junk finger foods which they find easy to swallow while continuing with their preoccupation of watching the TVs and the computers etc
Because of this exposure made possible in the early days by the parent himself to keep the child calm and alone without disturbing the parent the children continue to be so even when they grow up
The parent with the day to day complex life choose to ignore the old tested ways of bringing up the child and leave it to the electronic world to fend for itself

Pregnancy & Mental Health of the Offspring

Please refer Mahabharat an epic of India
It has been found that Abimanyu son of Warrior King Arjuna has learnt the tricks of warfare while he was in the womb of his mother hearing conversations between his mother and father
Hence efforts may be taken by the Government Social Workers Philanthropists to conduct free counselling and therapy sessions to pregnant women coming from poor families and to those requiring the same
Such steps will ensure that the next generation is mentally sound and safe

Sex Education

When anything is termed as a secret the normal mind gets inquisitive and craves to find it out somehow or other
And when one is unable to discuss sex openly then addiction starts
Proper sex education at different levels over the years and availability of a safe platform to discuss and learn the truth about sex will save many from being addicted to it

Policing

Policing and the Problems related
I am talking about the role and method of policing in Indian Conditions
You may learn if there is any from Indian Experiences
Police work is a 24x7 job
Hence the personnel should be willing to raise to the occassion always alert ready and active
Those who like love and fit to work from 10 to 5 or any working hours and decide to go home and rest relax are not suitable for the Police Force
And most of these people's energy level decreases from morning to evening and in the evening the energy level is almost zero
But in the Police Force the energy level should be uniformly maintained as even at the end of their task or daily chores they may have to face a tough situation requiring all their strength to do and complete that duty
The Police Personnel should learn the trick of relaxing at short notice whenever there is a short break in their daily routine and recoup themselves keeping themselves fit
They should get enough emotional support from their family and other members so that they will not be disturbed with trivial day to day problems
The family members should be able to carry on their life independently and moreover extend support to the Police Personnel so that they can concentrate on their personal welfare and keep themselves ready for any eventualities
With unlimited powers they tend to go astray most of the times
They should be given sufficient time to be with their families and to take care of themselves
Daily living should be made as comfortable as possible and required for them so that they can think and take care of the public whom they are supposed to safeguard
Periodical motivation rewards checks controls and proper training should be provided so that the Police Personnel may move in the right direction always
A Police Personnel is a public relations person
Only few people enjoy meeting people and can interact with other human beings successfully
Such persons should be identified and inducted in the Police For

Empathy

World is like a mirror
You see and experience life and the world as you are
Feeling of empathy makes you more humane
Lack of empathy result in selfishness and your actions are centered only around you
Your circle of friends and well wishers shrink and you become alone
In times of distress you crave for attention, support and care
But then it may be too late

Leadership

Mostly leaders are born
At times leaders are created
When a person becomes a leader
He should be alert
He should be proactive
He should have a vision
He should create confidence in his followers
He should be able to decide on his own (He can consult any number of persons but the final decesion should be his)
He should have knowledge (if not- he should be able to collect information from all sources and should be able to grasp - digest - arrive at conclusions independently)
He should be flexible and at the same time firm depending on the situation
He should be able to say no when required - firmly
He should be conscious that he is responsible for the welfare of all his followers
He should develop true and able lieutenants to assist him
He should develop his successor in his own life time
I think this would do for the time being
People in general are always in search of leaders and simply follow the leaders like herds - it is easy for them to be so and to do so

Life - How do you live ?

Most of the people in the world are led through life by parents relatives friends colleagues the society and circumstances
Only few are able to lead in life having visions dreams and ability to pursue them and they are the leaders
A Leader may be leading himself and need not have any followers
Even then he is a leader because he is able to atleast lead himself independently
Whereas many need somebody to follow and draw inspirations (good or bad) from the person whom they think are their leader
A person can have different leaders one for each activity

Social Media

News papers and other social media are only after sensational news and do not show symptoms of any restraint in reporting
Many do not have the required training to expect and understand the fallout that they create with their reported information on the society
We have the only option of providing reinforcements to the teens afflicted with Social Anxiety as the social media only aggravates their predicaments
Good things positive actions mind elevating experiences find only a second place and the negative news are given the first place to boost sales

Are YOU Happy with YOUR Work ?

Individuals differ as jobs differ
Some persons are suitable to do certain jobs and not all are suitable for all jobs
It is a question of what a person likes to do as a job
The job content, nature of job, the hierarcy, infrastructure, environment and the mental frame of the individual all matters in making a person happy in his job
I find that many could not find the right job that is suitable for them but land in any job that they get
They have no time, energy or expertise and find ways to look for such jobs or change jobs
Few change jobs and it all depends on in what industry organisation you are in and what are your qualifications
When a person is not in the right job of his choice suitable for him then his/her out put is affected and he is unable to contribute fully
In bigger organisations the HR person can do some homework and assess the employees availalble and match them with the jobs available and do some shuffling which will result in higher productivity, growth and prosperity to the organisation

The Third Force

When there is a dispute and misunderstanding between two persons there may be trouble
Only a third person can intervene and solve it
First be sure that you are required to intervene
Do not intervene where you are not required or invited
If you intervene first study the whole situation and approach cautiously winning the confidence of both the persons
Then give your solution
You may succeed in solving the problem amicably
You have contributed to the peace making process
Well Done
But if you sense any trouble in solving the problem then simply withdraw and do not get into further arguments and end as a party to another dispute
At times both the above persons may join and you may become a victim yourself
Beware
Being the Third Force is really a Good Thing
Try to be one where ever possible and when it is safe
