                      It Gets Going                         With ‘‘Me’’                                                                                   Photo Credit-lovepanky.com  Suppose I am asked in an interview to deliver a picture perfect 15 minutes presentation about ‘ME’? I will presume that I am an expert on ‘ME’ and start with my name, qualifications, job experience etc. But if I am stopped and told instead to give full accurate appreciation of ‘who am I’, ‘how I am’, and ‘how I am viewed by others’, I bet I will be anxious to begin with and may not be able to give a satisfactory presentation about ‘ME ’ and may fumble. Today having grown in age and profe...

              Action  Vs.  Reaction                    My Take on the Quote  The need to feel higher to others is a major cause for some of us who try day in and day out to put our friends/colleagues/neighbors/ family down. As per Psychological studies, people who have such thinking patterns may feel rightly/wrongly superior and they try to assert their dominance. Unfortunately, they don’t comprehend and realize that they themselves may sooner or later undergo similar treatment whether in the organization/relationships or elsewhere. Well practically speaking, some people mistreat others for no reason or may be for fun sake, insecurity or even jealousy. There are times when some people like projecting their competitors /subordinates that they are not good enough and attempt to hit so hard that breaks concerned individuals and possibly tear them apart.  Looking at the above picture, I ...

                                 Is It For Me?                           Positive Personal Impact                                                       Photo Credit-Vinicius Altava (Pexels) How often do we contemplate why some people have challenging and captivating persona? They go up, above and beyond their qualities out of nowhere to distinction and have speedy career steps forward. Some of them we spot delivering talks at the business schools, addressing professional conferences and industry meets and are often covered by the media. They are usually spotted sharing their success stories on the social media. Are these individuals just well-groomed than the rest? Or do they have a ‘Midas’ touch in their a...

                What Comes Easy                                         VS                         Won’t Come Easy  Photo-Pexels-Pixabay I feel the following quote is a reminder to all those who look for shortcuts in life to achieve their family/professional goals. It is also an inspiration to all the have-nots who keep working hard for accomplishing their cherished aspirations. But often talk to their mind’s eye why existence in their case plays seek and hide. They often regret that living is never smooth as it is for those who stay in palatial houses and drive swanky cars. I do visualize the thoughts they undergo day in and day out ...

                                         Social Comparison                      Thief of Contentment                                                 Creater-Lryna Bort(2012 Book.lardbucket.org) I recall as a child, I would always gaze at big bungalows, foreign made cars and teenagers wearing wrangler jeans, riding Jawa motorbikes. Once I along with my late father was walking through a posh locality. Finding me rotating my head around couple of times, he stopped and said “Bhushan why are you looking up to those palatial houses, look at the hutments. Otherwise you would fall in the pit”. Today I realize how true is that our life journey is good tim...
