Let us follow the foot-steps

Work-life balance, time management, inter-personal or negotiation skills, projects, vision, creativity, deliverable, demonstrations - Each one of these words sound very familiar to ears. Isn't it? Yes, a corporate associate probably hears of such words at least daily. At least so much so that this becomes a part of day-to-day life. We hear great visionaries speaking about these words and their significance in the work that we do, in the business that we conduct and in the way we represent a company. Some of us think that it is their job to speak, some of us think that it is our job to listen while a handful of us does not even listen because these stuffs sound too bookish to execute. But do we ever realize the method behind such talks? Do we ever look back and ponder how different things could be if we paid heed to such talks? Do we ever attempt to at least change the way we are used to operate?

Methods, discipline, organization, homework, understanding - these are not new to anyone. As a kid, we have been imparted teachings on these lines. As we grow up, we become "independent" and as we take charge of "our" lives, we become rule-makers for ourselves. This tendency turns so strong that some or the other way, we loose focus on methods, discipline etc. And we try to do things in hurry, take the short-cuts and target the easy goals.

But, if one had to dive deep within and contemplate, invariably one would think "oh! that was so easy" or "I could have done much better". Yes, just take a try. Here lies a learning that let us do thing a little different and enjoy the journey of self-enrichment. Let us not just live for the sake of it. Let us grow in absolute terms and maintain a balance in life. Let us vow to follow rules, embrace disciplines and create a culture which is resolute enough to withstand any challenge. After all, we do spend 60-70% of our time at a place which needs it all from us.
