Do we really need the Lokpal Bill or commitment to build a better society?

I am really disturbed by a incident where teacher supervising board exams who did not allow the students to copy was almost beaten to death those very students. He is no fighting death. Is this the price one pays for his / her honesty and integrity? On one side we are demanding the  passing of the Lokpal Bill to bring in good governance and curb corruption and on the other have instances like this which make me wonder if we are really ready for the Lokpal Bill?

On second thoughts I feel  what we need more than the Lokpal Bill (nothing against it...it is great instrument no doubt)  is a commitment to build a better society and institute good governance in daily aspects of life. And this is easier said than done. Remember Satish Shetty, Satyendra Dubey, and hundreds of such others who died fighting and you will understand what I am saying. Once we really hit that road the Lokpal Bill becomes a great instrument. Till such time I feel we need to commitment for a better society that comes from within. That will give leaders like Anna Hazare a winning edge.

You are welcome to disagree but I really for the teacher, and people like Satish Shetty, Satyendra Dubey and this the least I can do for them...for I am also very much a face in the crowd.

Emotions in Business - Fear: The Good Side

Fear is often painted as the villain in the business world—the force that holds us back from taking risks, making bold decisions, or stepping into uncharted territory. But what if we’ve misunderstood fear all along? Fear, when harnessed correctly, is not a weakness; it’s a powerful signal. It tells us what matters, sharpens our instincts, and forces us to prepare better. From startups to Fortune 500 companies, understanding fear can be the difference between reckless decisions and calculated risks. Fear and Decision-Making Fear plays a crucial role in business decisions. A CEO contemplating an acquisition fears overpaying or making a wrong strategic move. An entrepreneur fears market rejection. A salesperson fears losing a big deal. But these fears, when analyzed, can guide better decision-making. Instead of dismissing fear, we must ask: What is this fear telling me? Is it highlighting a blind spot? Is it pushing me to prepare better? Successful leaders don’t eliminate f...

Day 19 - The Power of Multidisciplinary Approach

In an era of specialization, many of the world's most successful people advocate for a broader, more holistic view—one that embraces a multidisciplinary approach to life. This approach involves combining knowledge and skills from various fields, leading to better problem-solving, creativity, and adaptability. Think of a Renaissance person like Leonardo da Vinci, whose expertise spanned art, science, and engineering, shaping innovation for centuries. Today, the importance of a multidisciplinary mindset has become even more crucial in navigating the complexities of modern life. The Impact of a Multidisciplinary Approach David Epstein’s book, Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World, provides compelling arguments for why those who explore a wide variety of interests often outperform their more specialized peers in the long run. Epstein highlights examples from sports, business, and science, showing that people who dip their toes into different fields are often...

Day 9 - The Power of Understanding

The words “I understand” hold immense power. In the TV show Two and a Half Men , Charlie Harper often uses this phrase, sometimes with humorous intent. But beyond the humor, these two simple words—"I understand"—carry a depth and magic that is often overlooked. Understanding is the first step toward empathy. It reflects a willingness to connect with another person's experience, their emotions, and their perspective. Yet, to truly understand, we must pause and reflect on what we mean when we say it.  Do we really understand what the other person is going through?  Are we merely acknowledging their words, or are we trying to feel what they feel? True understanding isn’t about sympathy or offering solutions. It’s about resonance.  Do we truly feel the depth of someone’s anxiety or pain, or are we simply familiar with the emotion?  Does understanding require us to have lived through similar circumstances, or is it possible to grasp the weight of another’s experience even...
