Yesterday, while browsing through the open questions at Linkedin, I came across a question which really made me think deeply about the way we work for a company with a certain degree of passion and devotion, but after some time the sheen is gone and we start looking for alternate avenues. The Question was -
Q - How important is to love the company you work for?
My Reply - “In any form, when Love is mutual, both parties enjoy the courtship and build a long lasting relationship based on trust and understanding. The moment Love is just from one side, the second party starts misusing the sentiments of one who loves unconditionally and the term becomes exploitation. Life moves like that... In work life also, you love the company you work for till you get an environment which is suited to your needs, till you get a package which takes care of your needs and probably till the responsibilities given to you kicks up a storm in your mind to do extreme things which gives you recognition & growth. The moment you sense a drop in any of the factors, you sense exploitation and starts looking at other doors for more love & affection. That’s Life...enjoy it.”
I always use a quote – “LIFE IS A BALANCE BETWEEN NEEDS & DESIRES.” The basic fact of Life is to understand your needs and your desires. Or in other way, you can understand your needs and set your desires accordingly. Whichever way you think, the ultimate goal remains to grow in Life and live with minimum levels of stress. The winning is important, like every one of us is talking about the great Win of Indian cricket team over Australia in CommonWealth Bank Tri-Series. Yesterday, the Team arrived back in India and at Ferozshah Kotla Stadium Delhi, a big felicitation was organized. Now, go through any newspaper column or listen to any commentary during the play or after the play, its all about Self Belief, Body language, Stick to basics, Doing the right things at right time, handling the Pressure. These are the best of words to instill confidence in anyone to achieve anything in Life, if he or she is capable of understanding the value of these traits. It’s all about ATTITUDE, the way you look at the goals you want to achieve and so adapt yourself to accomplish those goals.
A few days back, one of my old class mate Jaideep Chowdhary circulated a simple presentation called “MATHEMATICS OF LIFE”, I expected it to be about some old dirty jokes but to my surprise it has the best calculation about the words which Leaders use to motivate you. It says –
If the alphabets A to Z are taken as 1 to 26, then HARDWORK adds up to 98, KNOWLEDGE adds up to 96, LOVE adds up to 54 and LUCK adds to 47. The most importantly ATTITUDE = 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100. So, the full marks go to ATTITUDE. Start building a positive ATTITUDE and start a journey towards greater success in Life. The presentation also talked about certain words which adds up to much more than 100, but there is a limit to everything so I don’t want to mention those nice words, lets be happy to achieve just 100% in Life…Enjoy your ATTITUDE.
