Do you believe that you will be in your current job this time next year?
T
here once was a king
who offered a prize to the
artist who would paint
the best picture of peace. Many
artists tried. The king looked at
all the pictures, but there were
only two he really liked and he
had to choose between them.
O
ne picture was of a
calm lake. The lake was
a perfect mirror, for
peaceful towering mountains
were all around it. Overhead
was a blue sky with fluffy white
clouds. All who saw the picture
thought it was a perfect picture
of peace.
T
he other picture had
mountains, too. But these
were rugged and bare.
Above was an angry sky from
which rain fell, and in which
lightening played. Down the
side of the mountain tumbled a
foaming waterfall. This did not
look peaceful at all. But when
the king looked closely, he saw
behind the waterfall a tiny bush
growing in a crack in the rock.
In the bush a mother bird had
her nest. There in the midst of
the rush of angry water, sat the
mother bird on her nest.
T
he king chose the second
picture as the winner.
“Because,” explained
the king, “peace does not mean
to be in a place where there is
no noise, trouble, or hard work.
Peace means to be in the midst
of all those things and still be
calm in your heart. That is the
real meaning of peace.”
T
he Moral: “Real peace is
when one can be calm in
the midst of tumultuous
surroundings”.

W
hen journey is more
enjoyable than the
destination; then why
should we waste our precious
time in waiting for that ideal
moment in life? Why should
we leave in constant insecurity
and endless hope that someday
things will be far better than
what they are today?
T
his ‘someday better’
attitude is very illusive.
On the surface it seems
to be promising. It seems to
provide a hope. But underneath
it brings a lot of misery and
detest. It is full of resentment
about the present. It gives us
boredom, irritation, laziness or
simple arrogance.
A
ll these ill feelings take
our present away from
us. These negative
and illusory thoughts put on a
permanent hook. It prevents us
from experiencing our present
by being in a denial mode. And
denial mode is not conducing to
create a better future.
S
o why should we
postpone our happiness
for an uncertain outcome?
Rather choose a journey worth
the time and effort. Enjoy the
journey. Cherish the moments.
Make it memorable. Live in the
present.
Are you in a never ending journey? - Tapas Dasmohapatra

The greatest sin is to think yourself weak”.
I
nitiatives are new resume.
Simply doing your job is
not enough. That will limit
your growth whereas taking
initiatives will expand your
horizon, it will broaden your
thinking and sharpen your skills.
Thus without being told when
you do something constructive it
is called initiative. Keep looking
for opportunities to do something
extra in your organization.
Take initiative. Masters of
Responsibility above and beyond
the expected job description.
Stick tenaciously to an
idea or project and follow
it through to successful
implementation. Willingly
assume some personal risk in
taking on new responsibilities.
Technical competencies can only
take you so far. You need to show
more initiative – that’s the key to
being more than average! Simply
doing your job is not initiative.
Taking initiative involves more
expansive thinking than going
after ideas that make your more
productive at your own job.
It is one of the powerful qualities
that seperate the star performers
from avergae performers. Alomst
everybody performs and meets
the expectations in terms of
performance. They fulfil the
key responsibilities assigned
to them and remain confined to
those assigned tasks only. Star
performersalwaysgobeyondtheir
job description.. they understand
and accept the responsibility as
well as accountability of their role.
In order to give their best to the
organization , star performance
go an extra mile. They do
somethng extra which become
significant contrubution to the
organization. Start performers
do something extra even if they
have not been told to do so and
that makes them stand out.
O
ne life, infinite respon-
sibilities, pOften in our
lives we struggle with so
many questions like- why this has
happened to me, why I have not
got this job , why I did not get the
promotion, why he/she did has
not supported me, how can she/
he betrayed on me. Unfair people
and situations revolve around us
and we become panic, uncomfort-
able and curse our life of what life
has planned for us. We feel like,
nothing is going good, the way we
thought and it can’t be as well. We
become so negative that things
which could be enjoyed and mo-
ments that can be cherished, we
miss on them just because of the
bitter flavor we have tasted. These
unfavorable situations and unfair
people gives pain and horrible
experience at the time of occur-
rence but in reflection if we real-
ize that without overcoming those
obstacles we would have never
realized our potential, strength
and will power . They help us to
mirror ourselves better and closer
to oneself. Nothing happens by
chance, everything happens for
reason. Injury, love, lost moments,
sheer stupidity, loneliness, rejec-
tion all occurs to test our soul,
the real potential of our soul. An
even graph in our life can make it
smooth and comfortable no doubt
but it will make life dull and
pointless for sure. These unfavor-
able situations and unfair people
somehow help us in creating who
we are today. Even the worst ex-
periences give you the hardest but
yes the important lesson in life.
We should learn from these situa-
tions and experiences and should
gather courage to step ahead and
find another meaning to life, be-
cause if not today, time will cer-
tainly answer “why” it happened.

“Neither seek nor avoid, take what comes.”
“Work is a blessing,
it is never too much.”
W
hat makes us smart,
valuable and respect-
ed? If you think it is
our color, complexion or features
I am afraid it is true only if you
are interested in Bollywood (not
even Hollywood). As per my
understanding it is our WORK
which gets us all the apprecia-
tion, money, security, respect and
recognition. Mr. Shahrukh Khan
is modelling in an advertisement
where he is promoting “Fair and
Handsome” cream for men. As
per my understanding men only
need shaving cream. Mr. Barack
Obama does not need fair and
handsome, he is already the most
handsome and powerful person
on this planet without being fair
in color. (If you don’t like Ameri-
can example, consider Mahatma
Gandhi, Nelson Mandela).
P
eople like or dislike us be-
cause of our work and be-
havior. In some cases, if
you are working fine then some of
your behavioral deficiencies are
also overlooked. We witness all
the time in families that an earn-
ing member irrespective of his/her
seniority gets more respect than
non-earning members. Even bad
temper or other behavioral defi-
ciencies are overlooked, ignored
or tolerated without making a big
fuss about it. I am not advocating
these behavioral deficiencies but
my limited point is that work su-
persedes everything else. In cor-
porate world it is all evident that
any manager who is achieving the
targets is given more promotion
than those who are otherwise very
fine person. We call these people
as ‘Sharks’ in the tank.
W
ork not only gives us
money and respect it
also gives us content-
ment. We might keep acquiring
all the knowledge of the world
but ultimate happiness comes in
achieving something or doing
something. All great things or
achievements that we possess or
enjoy today are the result of some
dedicated people’s unwavering
commitment towards their work.
W
hat kind of people
you want around you.
People who love their
work and do their work with their
heart and soul or people who have
to work? Do you want your driver
to keep thinking about his family
while driving? Are you OK if the
doctor or surgeon is absent mind-
ed while in clinic? How about po-
lice or army? How about your car
cleaning boy? We want everyone
around us to take 100% interest in
whatever they do. It does not mat-
ter that how much money they are
charging from us. We want 100%
attention and perfection in their
job, however insignificant that
may be. We want the sweeper to
clean the floor and make it shine
like a mirror by paying pennies.
Don’t we? But when it comes to
our own work, do we have the
same mindset?
W
ork, which is not avail-
able to most of us
in India is certainly
a blessing for us who have it.
People planning their holidays in
advance for six months but don’t
make a “to do list” for tomorrow
in evening. Some of us are per-
fectly ok if we have nothing to do,
rather we enjoy that. How sad.
W
ork helps us to cel-
ebrate the birthdays,
anniversaries and fes-
tivals. It should be our top most
priority but unfortunately for
some it is the have to category
item.

Job Interview
Less vs More
Thoughts !!!
Two bright young engineers ap-
plied for the same position at a
computer company. Since they
had identical qualifications, the
company asked the two appli-
cants to take a ten-question test.
At the conclusion of the test, one
of the applicants was called into
the manager’s office.
“I have graded the test, and you
both scored nine correct answers
and got one answer wrong. Thank
you for your interest, but we’ve
decided to give the job to the oth-
er applicant.”
“And why would you choose him
if we both got nine questions cor-
rect?” asked the rejected appli-
cant.
“We have based our decision not
on the correct answers, but on the
question you missed,” said the
department manager.
“And just how would one incor-
rect answer be better than the
other?” the rejected applicant in-
quired.
“Simple,” said the department
manager, “The other gentleman
answered Question No. 5, ‘I don’t
know.’ Your answer to Question
#5 was, ‘Neither do I.’”
