Commitment and Excellence in Life

Commitment is the language of the wise, Complaint is the language of the fools. Commitment is a responsibility and also includes accountability. In life, one should be responsible as well as accountable. Generally one takes responsibility without accountability; this weakens one’s being. Our weaknesses result in disappointment. Disappointment should be cremated and not garlanded. People derive a sadistic pleasure from disappointment. This is a primitive pleasure, like a grownup boy sucking his thumb. To cremate disappointment, one should strengthen one’s strengths. The greatest strength comes from the energy of commitment and brings in excellence in all walks of life. Few people traverse the road of success without a puncture or two but it is commitment to excellence that takes them through. Observe nature and see how other being are committed. For example, look at an eagle. From a range of 5 km, it focuses on its prey. Can we focus on our goals like an eagle?

Patel Knows Everyone!!!

Patel is a Gujju-bhai. Patel was bragging to his boss one day,’ You know, I know everyone there is to know. Just name someone, anyone, and I know them.’ Tired of his boasting, his boss called his bluff, ‘OK, Patel how about Tom Cruise?’ ‘Sure, yes, Tom and I are old friends, and I can prove it.’ So Patel and his boss fly out to Hollywood and knock on Tom Cruise’s door, and sure enough, Tom Cruise shouts, ‘Patel! Great to see you!’ You and your friend come right in and join me for lunch!’ Although impressed, Patel’s boss is still skeptical. After they leave Cruise’s house, he tells Patel that he thinks Patel’s knowing Cruise was just lucky. ‘No, no, just name anyone else,’ Patel says. ‘President Clinton,’ his boss quickly retorts.‘ Yes,’ Patel says, ‘I know him, let’s fly out to Washington.’ And off they go. At the White House, Clinton spots Patel on the tour and motions him and his boss over, saying, ‘Patel , what a surprise, I was just on my way to a meeting, but you and your

Management Lesson - Don't Miss the Moral

Once PVNR (PV Narasimha Rao), L.K.Advani and Laloo Prasad Yadav were travelling in an autorickshaw. They met with an accident and all three of them died. Yama Raja was waiting for this moment at the doorstep of death. He asks PVNR and Advani to go to HEAVEN. But, for Laloo, Yama had already decided that he should be sent to HELL.

Yama agrees to this and asks all the three of them to appear for an English test. PVNR is asked to spell " INDIA " and he does it correctly. Advani is asked to spell " ENGLAND " and he too passes. It is Laloo&
