Corporate World!

God how lucky must be those who are running their own businesses....and how poor us doing jobs! All day long, we hear nothing but do this and do that and what are the norms and what should not be done in the office...what is acceptable and what is not!

So like any other office...I have my fair share of do's and do's and do's and don'ts!!! But the real question is how we'll do all these do's..putting them into action is the real task. And that's not the only thing, we also have to keep things cool, positive and effective!

The best advice I can give anyone is to keep a cheerful outlook on things...I know its not possible always but one has to try and keep on trying! the more negative you get the more frustrated the situation will become. Believe me, if you are not positive then every task, every assignment is going to be a misery and you will learn nothing.

Working professionally is important but how many of us take our assignments as a way of learning new things or building our profile. No we just take them as one more misery in the pile of issues and problems. This attitude would not get us anywhere and would only add to our already high level of dissatisfaction. It is imperative that we learn to be positive and start doing work to not only fulfill our job requirements but also to enrich our learning and develop our profiles.

Believe me, when i say that its one of the most important things that I learned in the last 5 years that I have been working in the corporate world. You will find every other individual who would do nothing but to add to your issues and misery....and what will you do with this added frustration?

It's better to focus on yourself and work hard...stay positive and know that whatever you are working on you are doing to groom and develop yourself...have success in your career and grow to be better professionals and most importantly better human beings!

Stay positive and stay tuned!

Do what you love!

Everyone in this world is working on one thing or another, yet are we all happy to be doing what we are doing? Is it our passion? Are we enjoying ourselves along the way?? After some research and analysis of human behavior I can safely say that 90% of us are not happy doing what we are doing...Donald Trump once said that "passion helps you do better" If you are passionate about something then you will be willing to go that extra mile, take the heat on, work long hours...heck you would even work when you are not suppose to work, and this all comes from with in you. If you don't want to do something yet you have to do it, you will but that would not be done with love and passion. You will do it for the sake of doing it. And that would never be enough! Find something you like or love in everything you do! Be it any profession, you can be a doctor, teacher, engineer etc.....find something you like to do in that field. and for all those young ones who are just starting up

Characters in a Team.......the fanatics

In my last write about the Teams and their dynamics, I shred my thoughts on the subject and after much discussion with my colleagues and on their insistence I finally am writing about the various characteristics of every team member. I don’t know how many of you have observed these characters in the offices but they are there, all you need is an observant eye and you’ll find them in no time.  To start of the one character that I have observed most is the Comedian. The senseless, mad and wild. This character will leave you feeling frustrated with your own self and you know why? Cause no matter how hard you try to put something in his brain, hardly anything goes in. He talks and talks and loves to interfere in everyone’s business. Sometime you will be in the middle of a very important discussion and all of a sudden the comedian will pick the thread of your conversation from the middle and will pass a comment which will surpass all logic and sense. On the other hand the inte

To be or not to be!

A question we often ask ourselves is to be or not to be?? I wonder why we are trained in a way that 95% of us are always doubtful of our decisions and needs and wants. Very few of us actually know what they want. This can very well be related to our work or personal life....from school, college to offices..the misery continues and discontinues.  The most difficult of all is to handle this dilemma in our relationships! How one handles this? I am still at a loss to figure this one out. However, in professional lives my advice for anyone is to be upfront right from the start. Be straightforward. No one is married to the Company so compromises are not always required or expected. Though, what is expected of you is a sound knowledge of the area you are hired for. How concrete your knowledge is and how adaptable you are! In your professional life the question "to be or not to be" will put you in a strained situation only when the decision is in your hands and may be you
