Thank You

I cannot thank enough of all the love and fun I had during thanksgiving weekend
It’s during these times of the year where one is humbled with love and care of the family they have.
I couldn’t have asked for more then what I have received, even though I would barely keep in touch with any of my family members its during these times of the year where as soon as you meet everything is as if you have kept in touch forever

It’s truly a magical moment of pure fun, sharing and caring happiness together
To all the family, friends and my dearest one! Shout Out to all of you!!!
Thank you for being there for me, thank you for believing in me and thank you for all the well wishes you have ushered on me!!

It's Not Always Performance

I have always struggle with the concept of performance until now or may I say at the least I am trying to take a shot at it.

Some says Performance is a summation of 3 P's Practice, Perseverance & Patience
Scientifically if someone ask I would say Performance equals Velocity which equates to Distance divided by the Time, which simply means how far one has succeeded over a given period of time.

It’s intriguing subject because when I am studying the concept of PIE Model (Performance Image and Exposure) from the entrepreneurs /business gurus around the world, performance constitutes only 10% of your success
Before we further deep dive a quick over view of what I am talking about.
Over years there has been a mantra taught in the professional world, in order to be successful and continue climbing the corporate ladder one needs to understand the concept of PIE Model = P(Performance the actual work you do, the results you deliver)+I(Image the others have of you)+E (Exposure enables you to be promoted) which constitutes 10% Performance, 30% Image and 60% Exposure.
So if that is the case, why do people struggle and try so hard for 10% and not concentrate on remaining 90%?
One easy answer could be lack of awareness to this concept; however deep dive answer lies as how we as human beings are wired .
We as human being, right from the birth have been trained to just keep striving and are expected to just focus on performing!!

So here is the challenge and change of thought. Lets for a change look at the entire compound and evaluate oneself in front of our seniors, colleagues or customers and try asses from that which piece of the equation needs to be worked on …One would be surprised IT'S NOT ALWAYS PERFORMANCE

Just Do It

It’s been a while since I have written one, but it just amazes me how time has swung by.

Almost the end of the year and one thing that echoes in my mind, when I rate myself against my goals for this year, is the question “how well did I perform?”

If you have lost track of time and/or your game plan, then chances are you may feel it's a little too late to get back in the game to become a winner for the year. My challenge to you is how we can prove that this thought itself is wrong.

We have about 10 weeks to go before the year ends, that's plenty of time before one can call quits. So whatever be your passion and desire, my challenge to you all is ‘What is that one extraordinary thing you could do to make each day count’.

One extra incremental win everyday, just 1% each day would result in 30% by the end of the month.
I would say that is a pretty big win by itself.

So I urge you to look into your goals, rethink and rebuild that applaud able desire to excel every single day.
You want to start a business, re-energize yourself and "Just Do It"
You want to run a marathon or have the best physique,"Just Do It"
You want to Ace in your Studies or finish your certification, "Just Do It"

In short, no matter how impractical your desire or your goal may feel,
Remember the sign of a genius level performance is to give your best performance under undesirable circumstances

And lastly one of my favorite quotes, "To have what the Very few Have, do what the Very Few do"

Who do you want to take your picture with?

This topic is a special dedication to my dear friend who enlightens me with his ideas.
Got another new learning in my life, which I would like to share with all of you.
I was disturbed by for the fact that I missed an opportunity to have my picture taken with a celebrity and my friend was not able to figure out why.
To my bewilderment, I asked him the same question and his answer astounded me

He told me about a couple, whose monthly income was only $1000. They alternated the days they would have a meal i.e. if husband eats his meal on Mondays, the wife would skip Mondays but instead eat on Tuesday and vice-verse. By doing so their monthly savings was around $400. The money thus saved was to be spent on helping someone in need!! “Wow” is what I said as soon I heard this…to this he said, he would want his picture to be taken with a couple like this!!
Another example, a beggar saving his money to help old-age home people who are helpless, dependent and have no source of income, he would want to take a picture with that person.

Sounds unrealistic, doesn’t? Do we really see many people who would cut corners to help someone who is a complete stranger and expect nothing in return? Give a thought to this, I am sure I will, and the next time when you have an opportunity, who would you want to take your picture with?
