Always..

see the bright side of things...

Someone once told me that good days and bad days come in a cycle. And if you don't want to face bad days then you can't expect to have good days! Look for the good in things and you shall see how beautiful life is :)

Motivation..

is a tricky thing..

To give something our 100%, we need to be motivated. To be motivated, we need to have a strong purpose. When the purpose is lost in the many intricacies of doing mundane things..how do I still remain motivated?

"We were not sent into this world to do anything into which we cannot put our hearts" - Ruskin

Do it right!

Always look to help people..

It is easy to keep taking things..to keep consuming. But the right thing to do would be to think of returning..of replenishing. And while it is much simpler choosing the easy thing to do..the right thing to do always wins! :)

Always remember..

to wish people for their birthdays! Simple 2 words..

I can tell you with a very high level of confidence that the most effective way to remember your mom's birthday is to forget it once..:(

If you are bent on doing something..

nothing is impossible!

Get it right..

Look to do one task with complete focus and finish it with zero errors..

What matters is not how much you do..but how many tasks you get right!

You have to care enough..

about your own work to make sure you do it well..

If there is no passion in what you are doing, there is no point in trying to motivate people to work for you :)

There is no point..

in arguing with a fool :)

Do more productive things with your time..

++!

Always stay in the company of positive people :)

The world is filled with people who think they have loads to do and are stressed. While many of these people can bog you down with all their problems, half of which don't exist...I have realized that most of them are not looking for solutions but just someone to sympathize with them.

It is good to listen once in a while..but it is more important to move on cheerfully and stay positive!

Give...

Do not take things for granted. 

It is important to be selfish at times like when wanting to improve yourself or when looking to get feedback from people, but also remember to give gifts to the people who help you and care for you :)

Think about yourself first!

Don't take people for granted..and do not blindly believe in people..

Do what is best for you..it is important to be selfish at times :)

Control you anger

Try not to lose your cool on someone..Try to explain what the problem is and make the other person understand :)

"Anger is never without a reason, but seldom with a good one"

Surrounded by learnings

There are learnings everywhere. It is up to me to find it, grasp it and learn :)

Learn the rules..

Be very careful when you are not using your name..similar to using somebody else's possessions. Take great care!

Learn the rules..follow the rules! Only when you perfect this can you think of breaking the rules and making a change :)

When you are tired..

sleep..

Your health is the most important thing. Be healthy and you shall be happy :)

Ask!

Its just pathetic! I have not written my learning for yesterday...I can give a lot of excuses like I had no time, I lost track of days, I slept through the day...but it's just not excusable...I should take more care...and remember that I do need to write down even the smallest details in my task list because I have a pathetic memory!

My learning for today: Ask. Don't assume things. If you need help...ask for it!

Remembering my previous learning about not asking too many questions, I should keep in mind that I need to ask good questions. When asking for help to improve my attitude and performance...better ask!

Spread joy!

Smile..compliment a person..sympathize..listen..Be positive and spread joy to others.

'Kind words can be short and easy to speak but their echoes are truly endless.'

Last minute trouble

Try not to leave things for the last minute!

I wonder why I changed the way I used to work..If you cannot handle working in the last minute..then don't do it! Learn to work a little everyday towards the bigger picture. To re-inforce my point..last minute working does not help!

Was that another question??

Think before you ask!

Don't ask unnecessary questions. Think if you can find the answer on your own. Think if you are really interested in knowing the answer. And if you are..find out and share your knowledge :)

Plan bound!!

It is important to plan...plan your day, plan your week...helps to get you moving and creates order... But its not good to be plan bound. 

I realize that I sometimes get obsessed with my plans to the extent that things HAVE to go according to my plan! And I'm generally in a confusion as to what needs to be done...sticking to my plan and getting my work done or accomodating others' needs by focusing on what would help them...

And then I see that it boils down to just manging my time and managing others :)

It is very important

to have systems in place. It helps improve your productivity immensely.

Make anew and improved  task list,one that you would encourage you to work and not one that is there just because you need one to get through the day, of all the things you need to do during the week to give you direction and clear your head :)

Pay attention...

to the small details. In most cases you may think they are they are too small to matter, but they will kill you in the long run :)

I have been learning this the hard way, and hopefully some day...I won't have to be reminded or shouted at for the small things that matter!

Always be prepared...

for the best or for the worst! It is important that you give every opportunity your 100%...the rest always happens for the good! :)
