lost in the rush!!!

I really need a break, have been emphasizing the importance of the journey for some time now but i guess, I have not been enjoying off late. I need to sit down calmly and think again about if I am spending my time on wats important or may be decide wats exactly is important to me from here on.

I really need to slow down a bit and look within, yet again. will happen soon.

The Strengths Movement

An awesome idea and an awesome thought:

"don't waste your time trying to be well rounded;
focus on what you are passionate about and fling yourself at it
wholeheartedly."

when in doubt, don't!

Our dean has a tendency of saying "when in doubt, dont!" So many times i have made decisions in life when my body told me not to move forward but for reasons of logic or otherwise, I did and those decisions proved wrong in hindsight.

I lost. Decisions have to be felt right logicaly and emotionally. Your body talks, mind does all the time. If a decision does not feel right, do not do it.

As a Manager I am sure I will be required to take decisions with incomplete information, it will depend on if it does feel right to me or not! It will! A decision is a like jumping into a stream which may take you in your anticipated direction or the other direction.

If you choose one end of the stick, the positive one when you decide to take a decision, you are at the same time, choosing the other one as well.

good luck

My latest poem, on hugs!!!

A hug…..by Amarocks Singh

I really think that a hug is something that should be shared more and more often, it just rewards both parties, a win-win situation, sheer joy.

A Hug is an expression of love
It says a lot without a word
It says I am so happy to meet you
It says I like you
It says you are special to me
It says I miss you when you are not there
It says you and I need each other
It says that we are humans
It means many things at any time
Always touching, like the sound of a wind chime

A hug is a medicine
For apathy
For loneliness
For pain
So many people are recommended a drug
When what they actually need is a bear hug

A hug is a harmless act
All it does is build warmth, love and joy
I need a hug, do not tell me you do not need one
Give hugs, we all need some
In a society built with “who cares” as a seed
A hug is a joy that most of us need
:):):)XXXXXXXXXXXXXX

a thought on career!

"if you do not feel like jumping out of bed every morning and rushing to resume work, just dump what you are doing and go find another career!!!"

It is freaking true and insightful. Specially when we are at a stage where life is at the threshold and anything can happen from here...find a field where you will win one battle after another..cheers

younger, smarter and sexier!!! modesty be damned ;-)

leaders are not appointed, they rise

one of the most profound statements I have heard on leadership. leaders rise where ever they see gaps, whenever they see that something needs to be done, they get moving.

back seat drivers only irritate. They should just be there and sit quietly and follow the driver.

Leaders rise.
