A Good Human Being...give it a thought

Do you know a really good human being? Well I am one. Sounds strange? Not to me. For me it's one of the best things that could have ever happened to me. Imagine a what a place the world will be where every single human being thinks, believes and acts as a really good human being. What difference it will make. Phenomenal. 

And to be good human being one does not need to do anything extraordinary, one has to just be. That's good enough. Find joy in life's little things. Appreciate people (it gets them going and willing to go the extra mile). Smile (it increases your face value). Wish (a simple good morning, good afternoon, good evening or good night makes a lot of difference or wish someone the joy of his /her life). Thank (it could be a taxi / rickshaw driver or someone who offered you a seat in bus). Help (it could be something as simple as passing a pen/pencil or even a paper clip). Say I Love You (if you are married nothing like it...or why only you better half, why not your Mom or Dad or Brother or Sister). Pray ( it just takes a few words and faith in God). See the beauty of life (when was the last time you saw a sunset? or a rose...and said it was beautiful). 

There are so many other such simple things in life which we can just do without really putting a great effort. Simple isn't it. But then someone said "It's simple to be happy, but very difficult to be simple"...may be it's not that difficult after all.

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...

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...

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...
