Lean Advantage

  Paradox of age 30 to 50! Against the most popular saying that work hard and leave everything behind to focus on your career and growth during your young age, that is 25 onwards, visiting a cancer hospital has changed my view on how we should continue to live and strive 25 onwards. Any profession, business that keeps your life busy and preoccupied stressing to your physical well being can actually eat away your health and  life expectancy expectancy by far more than one may able to comprehend as at that point in time.

Don't kill your health and body during this 20 years of your professional life in attempt to make more and borrow your life and health from later years. Work hard but follow a very religious regime with your diet and rest, inve...

  A Round Trip - Journey of a Decade from being self centered to becoming empathic and then realizing compassion and back to being Selfish! ​A life filled with a different set of experiences that brings about the most desired self realization, learning & unlearning is always meaningful to self & the society, whereby all of these ups & downs, highs & lows can be summarized as evolution in acceptance & adaptability. Being Self Centered: A phase in life, when someone is so well placed with all of their needs, skills, earning, social & professional positions that they are hardly worried or concerned to look within or beyond, they are enjoying their hard work & its results & are so profoundly busy with repeating the cycles of all that they have known & are enjoying, which leaves them immune to their surroundings.

  CCTV Vigilance, tracking & monitoring of accounts, Blessing in Disguise   When various vigilance technologies were discovered & deployed, there was a hue & cry about privacy & human rights, only to arrive at today's state, where no matter whatever one may think, it is impossible to hide any skeletons.

  Personal Evolution  An inevitable realization to contemplate upon, all that has been conceptualized about the evolution theory, right from the formation of the universe, our solar system & Earth itself, the species that have choose to adapt to the ever changing environment & given circumstances around them have survived & developed over billions of years, while those who haven't been able to accept & adapt the need to change themselves & rather would go all out to fight it have been the ones that had to perish. In today's times, the same goes for the humans, while they remain busy with their individual & psychological battles at different levels, the ones who are able to adapt to ever changing environments & circumstances may evolve in every quarter.   We can hereby categories Personal Evolution in three different levels: A) Ability to carry out introspection & self evaluation B) Ability to accept the 'As is' C) Abilit...

  Cherished Vs. Hated A very intrusive subject that once in a while everyone must have experienced it within their personal as well as professional circles. A lot must have been said & written on how to think and act so as to get celebrated, but in the times of universal deficit of truthfulness to self & others, it is equally important how to think & act so that one may not get hated for trying to lead a life based on values & virtues. Nevertheless, not everyone is always cherished or even hated all the time. But mostly it goes by the act they are putting up in front of the kind of audience they are entertaining. So it means that one has to master the art of communicating their thoughts, ideas & opinions based on where & whom they are sharing them with. And in order to make either of these to sell well, one has to learn how to read their audience, understand their needs, evaluate their expectations & give an extraordinary performance to entertain them, w...

  Who can be Trusted & who should be watched out for? A very intrusive question if one is on the opposite side of the same. Let us get to the point. 1) The one who values you & respects you behind your back CAN BE TRUSTED, obviously because the respect & value they are giving is to earn your trust, nevertheless consistency matters. 2) The one who is bold enough to let you know exactly the opposite of anything & everything you are willing to hear, MUST BE TRUSTED, they might not mean to hurt you or harm you by giving you those harsh facts, again the person must not be all season critics of you. 3) YES MINISTERS are the gravediggers, anyone who is constantly agreeing to anything & everything that you say & do are your worst enemies, CANNOT BE TRUSTED, keeping them around is like feeding a snake that is growing larger enough to swallow you. 4) Then there will be those who will think for you, check upon you, understand you & are always more than willing to g...
