LEADING THE WAY

We always talk about the 1st movers advantage.We talk about the rewards and recognition individuals get, who take initiatives.Also huge benefits that companies get by implementing new concepts and ideas.

The other side of the fence is always green.

What about the obstacles on the way.We are least concerned about the hurdles they need to jump upon or rather remove permanently.In both the cases they make it easier for the follower - 

1- In case they jump upon, the follower knows what should be the ideal height and timing for the perfect jump to cross the hurdle. (apply projective motion)

2 - In case they remove the hurdle, its just a cake walk for the followers.

So, we can think that being a follower or being a part of the mob is much safer job, but there is no free lunch (not even lunch or dinner).There is always a trade off.Higher the risk, higher the return and vice-a-versa.

Though its a tough task, but once you succeed, you have a zeal to build such a road that people are bound to follow(Even its not the safest one). Its difficult to be always correct, but if you have the confidence that you have given your full effort, let me remind you its time of percentile not percentage.You would be scored 100 and others would be assessed or evaluated in accordance to your performance. Also at times people would surpass you, and others would question about your preparation and performance. Take it as a challenge.It will give you the energy to work harder and deliver far from your own expectation.

In due course of time you may feel yourself far ahead, lonely and facing tough times, but its a part and parcel of life.You need to take it with a packet or even a sac of salt.(A pinch of salt wont do.Prefer Tata Salt, Desh ka namak).Take few sacs of sugar, make a syrup of salt, sugar and water.Have it in one go, which will rejuvenate you and you again start sprinting like USAIN BOLT(naam to suna hi hoga).

Its just that in life you rely on different shoulder.So,render your shoulder to even those who haven't helped you and you don't expect anything from them in future, because people would have helped you irrespective of whether they have received anything from you or not.  

YOUR RESPECT IN YOUR OWN HANDS

The most valuable thing which is also most vulnerable thing, and it would be wrong to call it a material thing but an asset is Self Respect.To earn respect is difficult, but to maintain that respect is like tracing the path of Fish in water.
The most easy way to loose respect is to speak very frequently without giving second thought.And the easiest way to earn respect is to remain calm and composed and speak only when required.You might think this is wrong in today's context.Yes, In some cases like a classroom, group discussion etc. you need to be interactive and grab the opportunity, but in personal, professional and social life people who speak less are valued the most.
We often find people around us talking like a chatter box, joking, making fun of others and we often try to resemble these people as they are considered as the COOL GUYS.Introspect yourself and find out, are you the same kind of person.
Never give another person a chance to hurt you, distress you or make you feel ashamed.
Abstain from people who give blunt remarks, sarcastic comments as those people will always make your moral down and even can spoil your mood if you are an emotional and sentimental person.

THE GOLDEN THUMB RULE IS IS BE PROMPT AND PRECISE IN YOUR WORDS AND DO NOT COPY OTHERS. (BE YOURSELF)
IF YOU ARE A LOQUACIOUS KIND OF PERSON, HAVE THE COURAGE TO FACE ANY KIND OF COMMENTS AND ALWAYS LEARN A LESSON FROM IT.

ANSWER YOURSELF

We need to answer ourselves about our activities.We can give manipulated answers or even we can skip answering the questions of our parents, friends, colleague, or even our spouse but its a mandate to answer our mirror image.
We do many activities which we think, we should not but we tend to have an immediate excuse -

• Others are doing it, why shouldn't I.
• If I wont do it, others will do it.

If we successfully restrict our self of doing activities which we think are not correct, our mirror image will be smiling towards us with confidence.
In the other case we wont be ready to visualize the image, as we our self know, the image would be melting, structure less and vague.
Most of the time we say, who is going to ask others a question.To those people who fill their plates in excess of what they can have, simply because if the stock gets over they wont get a second chance to refill the plate, often wasting more than what they consumed and rendering others on starvation.

We should always try to do things for which we could face our self.If we start from small things such as throwing wastes only in dustbin, serving limited in our plates (any number of times), following rules (even if others break it), try avoiding for asking a glass of water unless its urgent etc, we could see our image growing pleasant in an exponential fashion.

3 P's OF ATTITUDE

The word attitude itself is of immense importance in every bodies life. Now 3 P's are attached to it. What are these 3 P's ? Purchase Price Parity or Public Private Partnership. NO it stands for Positive, Professional and Perfect.

Positive Attitude - In real means, nothing is negative.Positive is all Pervasive.So our attitude towards everything should be positive.We all know the importance of positivity, but few of us take the advantage.If we show positive attitude in a situation, the resultant is such that it enables us to abide to positivity.Things start working in our favour, sooner or later and we feel happy and rejoiced.

Professional Attitude - Its not only an essence for those working in an organization.Its a must for everyone to claim a right on what we aspire for. We achieve it or not depends on various factors but our most important contribution is a professional approach towards our goal. Professionalism internally contains Punctuality(These days JIT is often used, just is Ok but In time is a must ) and Priority (Priorities the Current Objectives, Take decision and follow it without giving a second thought ).

Perfect Attitude - This is an area where we have two types of people:

1. These people perform single or few task at a time, but the execution is near to perfect.

2. These people perform many task together, with an average level of performance. (Jack of All, Master Of None)  

Today Multitasking with Perfect Execution is required. And as the adage goes " Nobody is Perfect"  so, we need to become nobody.

PROMISES MADE ARE PRECIOUS,BE SURE AND THEN ASSURE

We often assure our friends to go for a hangout, help in a project/assignment, help in studies, share our special skill sets, and lots more.Its very easy to give an commitment and equally difficult to stick to words.Most of the time we find some other work to be done at the same time, ultimately we priorities. The worst part is that unintentionally we end up in not just breaking their hearts but Crushing it in grinder (playing soft Diplomacy - I am extremely sorry dear/its always next time etc). Feel about the other person mental anxiety which you have turned in to depression(both physical and mental). The poor chap is abstained from something he/she was relishing in advance having confident in your words. Put yourself not in their shoes, but in their soul. I am sure if you are able to do so, one of the two outcomes will definitely happen -

1. Amount of seriousness involved in a commitment will grow in geometric progression.
2. Each one of us would make any number of adjustments to stick to our words.

This is because we will understand the feeling other person would have, if we do not adhere to our words. We just say, sorry friend i am busy, i have some other important work and many more.(There are two types of excuses - The hackneyed once called as Local Bahana. Others are the exclusive ones called as Imported Bahan.)

Each one of us would have been on both sides of the court. Play this game as a single player (i.e commit yourself a treat on fulfillment of task and after achieving that task, say its not a big one/next task is awaiting etc. - its very likely that you loose the spirit of performance).

Hitting a Smash would be difficult for you.
