Positive thinking!

Recently I stumbled upon this story so thought of sharing with my readers.There were five tiny frogs held a race of climbing on top of a high tower.The D-day approached.All the contestants and the cheerers gathered to see what is happening.A few second later the race began.Every one around was cock sure that frogs will not even reach the upper part of the tower.

No one in the crowd believed that the race would be successful.All frog heard very discouraging cheering. 'You can not climb.' 'It is too high for you!' 'You aimed beyond limits.'etc.Out of five four frogs fell prey to the discouraging cheering. They got tire and some how couldn't climb up.One after another they all gave up.
One small frog kept on climbing.It was damn tired but kept on... and on... and on climbing.

All the other tiny frogs wanted to know how could this frog climb? One of them came forward to ask this victorious frog.A contestant asked the tiny frog how the one who succeeded had found the strength to reach the goal.At last they all came to know that the tiny frog was deaf!
It couldn't hear either good or bad cheering!He kept on trying and climbing.The wisdom of this story is:
Never listen to other people’s tendencies to be negative or pessimistic.
…cause they take your most wonderful dreams and wishes away from you. The ones you have in your heart! Always think of the power words have. Because everything you hear and read will affect your actions! Therefore: ALWAYS BE POSITIVE!

stretch your talents!

Once a blind man was waiting by the road to cross as the road was very busy.Actually he was waiting for some help who could come and help him to cross.Then he felt a hand on his shoulder. "Excuse me." Said the person,'I am blind could you please help me in crossing the road?"
First blind man agreed to help the second blind man not revealing that he is also blind!Boldly he took him and crossed the road safely! Do you know folks who was the first blind man? He was jazz pianist George Shearing. He then shared this anecdote somewhere "What could I do? Helping him cross the road was biggest thrill for me!"
So there are times we feel 'no we can't do that'.It means we don't want to stretch ourselves!By force if we are pushed then we may come out with the best results discovering new excitement.We actually don't know our capabilities,because we have never put them to test! Try to put you talent to test some or the other point of life.
stretching, dependency, risk, achievement under pressure are the sweetest fruits you can have!Nowadays whether you like it or not you need to take stress,and achieve also a lot.So why not to take up with a smile?Especially corporate segment is having cut throat competition. in this field we need to incorporate these qualities..........bye....

Profession and family

.
Is your profession only your job? Think deeply on this question. When our body is resting our mind and involuntary muscles are at work! Our subconscious mind starts working full fledge.
You trade with profession for money. When your day ends as professional, it is just changing the role not leaving the job. You become a family man, social man or self made man. Your pressure at work is surely not an excuse! Your biggest responsibility is towards your self. Maintain cool And help others to maintain too. So we need to constantly upgrade ourselves in sanity happiness and growth. Invest time on your self. Take time to study, be with family, and spend time with your hobby or a pet. We see many persons the more successful they become in the corporate, the less patient they become! Think you are the heart of the system you have built, and if heart doesn’t function properly the whole thing gets collapsed.
You can not ignore the family at any cost. This is unwritten yet a strong rule we need to follow without a second thought. Neglecting parents and children surely affect you psychologically. Here many a time we fail to balance. Fun is the way of life as it reduces stress. True responsibility and joy lies in fulfilling all the roles successfully. What is the use of such a profession that makes you fail in carrying on other roles? Or you are failing in time management! Success lies in balancing professional as well as family life.

Diversity

Diversuty is the deepest sea.We see diversity around us in society,region,state,nation.Basic formula is all culuture is all cultures must be respected.But we see diversity in age,physical status,race,education,political ideology etc.It is a welcoming step to know others cultures.People respect you.Secondly there will be less conflicts.Thirdly problem are easily solved.Fourhtly business is more successful it means more job security.I strongly feel job security is in our hands only.Henry Ford had told 'we have to give three times more than what we get.'Tell me which company leaves you?

If you are going to any foreign countries on a business trip,then better know the names of that country's leaders.Speak and act in a formal way.Take their leader's name with respect.Avoid humor,profanity or over friendly language.It looks cheap and awkward.Use their titles.


Be punctual,whether it is formal or informal function.Coming late is considered as rude or impolite.Avoid talking about money.

Let me introduce you different cultures.
Japan:-The bow symbolises respect and humility.So we see Japanese bowing down most of the times.The 'OK'sign what we use is a symbol for money.The business card should be treated with respect.When some Japanese offer you a business card hold it with both the hands.They are very punctual people.They consider it is rude to be late for the business meetings.

China:-Opening a gift is very confusing task.Chinese believe that opening a gift in front of the giver is considered as an insult to the giver.It signifies gift is much more imporatant than the giver.So never open a gift infront of the Chinese if he has given!

Secondly triangle is considered as a negative shape.Don't gift wrap in triangle shape.

Thailand:-Bowing down is common in all three above said countries.In Thai culture head is considered as sacred.So never touch the head or pass an object over the head.
Never cross your leg in the presence of an older person,it means you are insulting that person.

I hope you will mind these manners,cheers!

Why etiquettes?

How you conduct yourself in your relationships with other
people will determine your future success.
It is important to be in the corporate protocol,because some or thw other time it may prove as a ladder of success for you!

Who does not want to be respected? Every one of us wants! So the formula is simple,if you want to be respected start giving respect first.Then they come back to you in bounty
The courtesies you extend to those will come back to you a
hundredfold. When we need to scold a person in a team we have to scold and guide him in private,but at the same time if he deserves good appreciation,then we have to appreciate in front of hundred people.Most of us do reverse! Then you can never rise to a leadership!

Cultural Courtesy
Cultural diversity
Sometimes in meetings we witness persons of multi culture.First of all we need to understand and practice all cultures must be respected.Understanding different cultures has become almost primary qualification in the industry.The more we know about the different cultures,the more confident we become!
Knowing what to do and having an understanding of cultural
differences eases the way to a long and profitable business association.
Learn a few words in your foreign guest’s language if you
want to change from cool to cordial. Visitors almost always appreciate that you
have taken some effort to make them feel welcome and comfortable.Speak with conviction.Eyes speak the truth,bodylanguage speaks louder than words.Don't try to become cultural police or moral police.Respect every culture with the same scale then rest will follow.
