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
