days don't remain the same

Days don't remain the same always, I posted sometimes back a picture saying "those were the days", and really those were the days in the lush of my City (Doon of-course). I mean, daily I used to go college, enjoy there, gossiping, tittering and giggling all the day with best buddies. Sometimes flirting with ....no not the class gals (they were all so crap)...but with few female faculties and ohh yeah, ..attending the class too...Really those were the days. 

And now contrary to them, these are the days I am living in Delhi (well it sucks always to be here, this city is nothing less than a hell), tough days, really tough days, no college, no friends, leaving the home in the morning for the interviews and hoping that some interviewer (who might be more or less in knowledge than me) may judge me right, and that is what not happening. Mapping the distances in Delhi is so damn bad, I feel like uttering some abusive language, but not sure on to whom, to myslef? to Delhi? or who??

But what I feel people especially from there adolescence be conversant with those situations in which they may find themselves uncomfortable. I got motivated when I saw following picture......

picture tell us how to prosper in tough time....

I also posted a line sometimes back in a blog that "morning has to come after every night" as days don't remain the same. Cheers...

so ! you dislike your own language?

Today I went to see a Hollywood movie named KNIGHT AND DAY (Hindi) at a PVR with one of my friend. In the meanwhile during our discussion about the show we should go for, I saw a guy who was standing in the queue, he was wearing branded shorts and a hell looking T-shirt with a pair of Vivid colour shoes, putting up so much flash on her skeleton, that if his skeleton had have some kind of alarm (like a lift have) then it will soon get buzzed raising the alarm “overweight”. He soon get dejected when the lady at ticket counter said that the show of THE LAST AIRBENDOR (in English) has been cancelled for the day. He came back to discuss on the issue with his friend who was also burdening too much on the earth. His friend suggested him to buy the ticket for KNIGHT AND DAY and the dejected guy was like, as if someone has just suggested him to remove his shorts in the public. With wide-open mouth he said,

“what are you talking, a movie in Hindi, no way” 

And then they moved away to some other PVR.

So these are our Indian “Metro” youths. What our nation can expect from them if they can’t manage to listen to Hindi. It seems that the breed of the city’s youths have changed. They are more fashionable (so what if it makes them a cartoon), they hate Hindi now, they believe that if you are single then you are worth for nothing, they hardly cares about the problems of neighbours.

A year back I read an article in the newspaper that India have the highest number of youths and that’s a point where economy of others can be beaten. What a bummer this is, jubilee per cent of the Indian youths don’t even know what exactly they want to do in the future. And if this is the condition then believe me, we are going nowhere, and this is the ground reality. Sensex is just a Miraz.

Note – blog doesn’t mean that I hate English (it’s just that I prefer my own language) and Movie  was a money waste.

Hare and Tortoise compete again

Once upon a time a tortoise and a hare had an argument about who was faster. 

Hare - I’m the fastest runner.

Tortoise - That’s not true.The fastest runner is me!

They decided to settle the argument with a race. They agreed on a route and started off the race. The hare shot ahead and ran briskly for some time. Then seeing that he was far ahead of the tortoise, he thought he'd sit under a tree for some time and relax before continuing the race. He sat under the tree and soon fell asleep. The tortoise plodding on overtook him and soon finished the race, emerging as the undisputed champ.The hare woke up and realized that he'd lost the race. 

Moral of the story - The moral of the story is that slow and steady wins the race. 

This is the version of the story that we've all grown up with. 

The story continues …

The hare was disappointed at losing the race and he did some soul-searching. He realized that he'd lost the race only because he had been overconfident, careless and lax. If he had not taken things for granted, there's no way the tortoise could have beaten him. 

So he challenged the tortoise to another race. The tortoise agreed.

Hare - Can we have another race..??

Tortoise - Ok..'

This time, the hare went all out and ran without stopping from start to finish. He won by several miles.

But the story doesn't end here …

The tortoise did some thinking this time, and realized that there's no way he can beat the hare in a race the way it was currently formatted. 

He thought for a while, and then challenged the hare to another race, but on a slightly different route. 

The hare agreed.

Tortoise - 

Can we have another race? This time we’ll go through a different route.

Hare - Sure..

They started off. In keeping with his self-made commitment to be consistently fast, the hare took off and ran at top speed until he came to a broad river. The finishing line was a couple of kilometers on the other side of the river.

The hare sat there wondering what to do. In the meantime the tortoise trundled along, got into the river, swam to the opposite bank, continued walking and finished the race.

Moral of the story - 

First identify your core competency and then change the playing field to suit your core competency. 

In an organization, if you are a good speaker, make sure you create opportunities to give presentations that enable the senior management to notice you. 

If your strength is analysis, make sure you do some sort of research, make a report and send it upstairs. 

Working to your strengths will not only get you noticed, but will also create opportunities for growth and advancement.

The story still hasn't ended …

The hare and the tortoise, by this time, had become pretty good friends and they did some thinking together. Both realized that the last race could have been run much better. 

So they decided to do the last race again, but to run as a team this time. 

Hare - 

Hi, buddy. How 

about doing our last 

race again?

Tortoise - 

Great! I think we could do it much better, if we two help each other.

They started off, and this time the hare carried the tortoise till the riverbank. 

There, the tortoise took over and swam across with the hare on his back. 

On the opposite bank, the hare again carried the tortoise and they reached the finishing line together. They both felt a greater sense of satisfaction than they'd felt earlier. 

The moral of the story?

I

t's good to be individually brilliant and to have strong core competencies; but unless you're able to work in a team and harness each other's core competencies, you'll always perform below par because there will always be situations at which you'll do poorly and someone else does well.

Teamwork is mainly about situational leadership, letting the person with the relevant core competency for a situation take leadership.

Let’s go and build stronger teams!
