Focused Action=Achievement

What we focus upon regularly that expands exponentially.

And manifests in real life.

Mind your focus. Focusing on grudges, jealousy, failures will further pave the way for negative feelings and making you weak internally. Dream Big, Achieve Big. Peace and happiness that comes

Peace and happiness that comes from good health and good feelings is the root of walking on the path of success and achieving it.

Yesterday i.e. Sunday 26^th July, 2015, Panchayat of Threekey village in Ludhiana District held a  Vo- lleyball tournamenet. I accompanied my friend Mr. Bhatti to the play ground where the tournament was to be played.  We reached at the ground at about 5 pm. Mr. Bhatti is a good comentator in our mother-tongue i.e. Punjabi.

18 teams enrolled for the tournament by paying Entry Fee of Rs. 500 each. The prize for the winning team was Rs. 11000 and for the Runners up was Rs. 5100.

The tournament was conducted and sponsored by the residents of village Threekay headed by honorable Sarpanch Jarnail Singh and his son Soni.

Mr.Sunny Threekay  Mr. Raja Panch and Mr.Ramesh Kumar  were the chief organised who managed the management of the tournament.

Umpiring by Aman was highly appreciated.  Professional teams from Jagraon and Khanna participated.

Arrangement was excellent.

Regularly dinner, cold drinks, cold water and tea was served to all. Around 1500 people watched the tournament.

NO GOVERMENT AID WAS RECEIVED . IT WAS FULLY SELF SPONSORED BY THE PANCHAYAT.

Tournament started at 5 pm on 26.7.2015.

In the first round 18 teams played 9 matches.

In the second round  8 winning teams played 4 matches and 9^th winning was directly upgraded to semi-finals.

In the third round  2 winners came out and 3 teams played. One out of the three was eliminated and two played for the final match.

It was 2.30 am when the two teams were playing the final match. Even at this late hour of night when almost whole of the city was enjoying sleep, the players were agile and playing excellently. The ball was just moving from one corner to another corner. Sometime the ball did not  drop for 15 to 20 minutes. It was really marvellous to watch young boys in action. Nobody could say that it was  night and 2.30 am as the players were fully awake and aware and enthusiasm was unparallel. The final match was no less than a national level match.

 At 3.30 am the teams were able to decide the final. Winner and runners up’s was just 1 point. The winning team was given the prije of Rs.11000 and Runners up bagged the second prije of Rs. 5100.

I learnt passion plus action is achievement. Passion when tamed, trained and put into practice becomes achievement. Nothing on planet Earth make it stop. I reached home at about 4 pm.

Dr.   Sarabjit Singh,     President of Friends  Club (Regd.) B.R.S  Nagar, Ludhiana desired that young generation should not choose drugs but play and Punjab should flourish. The seed of good thinking is now growing and more than 8 matches have bee n organised by various Panchayats and teams.

Dr. Sarbjit Singh was honoured in absentia by giving the trophy to Mr.Aman whose umpring was highly appreciated by all the teams.

THE INITIATIVE OF VOLLEYBALL TOURNAMENTS IN THE AREA WAS TAKEN WITH A VIEW TO KEEP THE YOUNG MINDS AWAY FROM DRUGS AND ADDICTIONS, SAYS SARPANCH JARNAIL SINGH.

Business Management Made Easy

Pic source: nicos.in

Managing business is an herculean challenge for almost all business men and business managers.

I give below the four systems that are necessary for a business to run smoothly.

1. OAS : Office Automation System

    Office is the engine of the train called business - be it service, retail or manufacturing.  All information is managed in the office for quick actions and decision. Information is profit or money. Information needs to be preserved, saved from frugal minds, information needs to disseminated for action on the floor. Accounting, correspondence, communication - internal and external using modern gadgets like computer, mobile phones, printer, fax etc. are some of the activities of the OAS.

2. TPS: Transaction Processing System: How a transaction is processed is covered in this system. Effective handling of a transaction determines the effectiveness of the organisational management and thereby profit level. 

Pre-transaction processing: 

2.1 Visit by marketing people to introduce the product or service.

2.2 Receiving an enquiry or requirement.

2.3 Processing the enquiry mentally.

2.4 Quoting for enquiry either in writing or verbally.

2.5 Receiving an order.

Transaction Processing:

After the order is received, planning for execution starts. Raw material is arranged through Bill of Material. Material carrying cost is the major factor in this phase of transaction. Scheduling of production for producing the product helps a lot. Wise handling of the scheduling and material boosts up the transaction profit for the organisation. Well qualified, experienced and positive minds boost the productivity of this system.

3. MIS Management Information System: Various reports are received from various departments of the organisation like: Marketing, production, personnel, ERP. These are processed further so that they may be used by the top executives or management team to take effective decisions.

4. DSS Decision Support System:  MIS as described in system 3 is supplied to the top management that is aware about SWOT analysis and TOWS analysis. Such information is juggled and effective decision is taken. Efficacy of the decision depends upon the accuracy of the information so supplied.

Focus on all these systems regularly boosts the effectiveness of the organs of the organisations.

80-20 pareto rule of life.

Reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_principle
Pic Source: www.dreamspear.co.uk

While doing MBA, we used to learn about 80-20 pareto method. The method when applied in projects or other activities says that 80% results or impact for achieving a project or an activity come from 20% efforts. The leaders focus, track and monitor this 20% part of the project. Rest is managed by the next brigade.

A week ago, I was sitting in café and heard the talk of the neighbor on other table.
Hard skills  = 20% contribution in life
Soft skills = 80% contribution in life.
Elaborate more was the wide eyed opened listener's query.

Listen:

Hard skills are the qualifications and ranks a person gets from school/college/universities or institutes. They make the arrogant, haughty, introvert and fit for comparison. The person boasts and brags of degrees and institutes where as this does not pay after a period of time.

Soft Skills:


About 60 in  total and include acceptance of the world as real and taming, trimming self thinking to match the occasion and the need of the person, places, people, institutions. It includes, talking low, slow, short taking into account the age, relation and occasion. It also includes your role in family, work place or job. A manager cannot be impatient in talks like an office boy.

What you eat determines the volume of your voice. Heavy , fried and over cooked foods and hot drinks cause loudness in talks. Fruit, juice, vegetables, almonds and nuts enable the body to be more healthy and the behavior of the person improves.

CCT Conscious Control of Tongue pays a lot in achieving 80%.

20% is helpful in career and is relevant for the job and the little community known.
80% is helpful in happiness, relation building, networking, inner peace and frictionless self-development. Networking - local, national and international - help in boosting the relationships for every kind of assistance during bad times.

The listener could not understand well and asked: Cite an example. I could not understand your philosophical talk.


Ok: In a family, father is less educated and worked hard to feed and pay the fee of the children. Mother, though illiterate, cooked food, washed clothes and took care of kids when they were ill and could not take care of themselves. With the fees of father's money and mother's help, the children got good education. Became aware about the physical world but could not develop their sense of metaphysical world which is inner-self.

Now the children are young and educated, parents are old and needy. Energy level is drained. Their response time to tackle the problems or replying to the queries of children has gone down. Children don't like this. They shout and react to the extent that the parents feel troubled. Yes mere presence for long time becomes a source of annoyance. Father and mother living at the same place and meeting the children right from birth cause inbuilt mental deafness for any kind of advice or

Children treat them as if they have the same energy and expect that the parents should act and behave as they wish rather than being thankful to the parents who sacrificed their youth, wants and invested their energy and time on them.

When I was young I wished to change the world. My age was about 17-18. But now at 50+ I have come to know that creating mental friction for the real world or others is useless. But now I have learnt, if I wish to be happy, I need to manage my mind. Now I focus more on my thoughts, track them. I found a wonderful method: I say I forgive you and name the person: Wonder: I sleep well. No thought of hate or love for a particular person jump into my mind.

I don't do because the people I love or I hate deserve my mercy but I deserve mental peace. I kept on torturing myself for about 50 years for imaginary presumptive reasons. Now I am in command of my mind. Now  I know what I want in life and my direction is right and destination is visible. Earlier, I was commanded by others as I was hurt deeply by the words of others. Now I ignore by mentally saying. No you cannot disturb my mental peace. I am the master of my life.  Now I trust the words of Henry David Thoreau

 : What lies ahead and what lies ahead are tiny matters as compared to what lies within.

Changing food has also helped a lot. I take fruits, boiled vegetables, sprouted beans. I avoid gossip and irrelevant thinking and toxic people.
Now I talk more in mind. No  bad words come out of lips. Only good words for others come. This is building my relations. I am now more cooperative, level of acceptance rather than arrogance has increased. Body language too works for others. Behaviour is changing. It is all paying in making my life happy. I feel inner peace. Sleep well.
This switching from "I": am more important to "You" are more important and becoming nice to others, talking sweet, controlling tongue i.e. stopping and not advancing arguments is helping me to be happy. Happiness is an inner task. Self effort. Nobody else is responsible. I love living with people with whom I feel good.

Age group too matters. People of your own age group make you more happy as they talk and behave like you.

Emotional intelligence is one component of 80%. 80% never changes. 20% keeps changing with the passage. Parents loved their kids in Stone Age and love them too in this Computer Age. Mother's parents, brothers, sisters and father's parents, brothers, sisters and cousins remain permanent in life. No way to annoy or leave them. Just accepting them as they are is the way to happiness or face their wrath.
All talk rough but do help in need. Talk cannot be as good as the dialogue of films or TV serials.
But MBA and B.Tech were not available in Stone Age.

80% enables you to be happy and comfortable with everyone and everywhere. Whereas 20% enables you to go up and higher in your career.

Right I understand why am I that much troubled internally. I will be focusing on 80% now to make my life better and better.




 

2-Day Workshop on Participatory Teaching

at
SBS MEMORIAL PUBLIC SCHOOL,
 KATORA DISTT. FIROZEPORE Punjab (India)

As the school was to re-open on 1st July after summer vacation, the school management represented by one of my old colleague and friend Mr. Rakesh Arora, invited me to be the Chief Speaker and Mentor for the 2 day workshop on Participatory Teaching.

About 35 teachers having qualification of
1. ETT (Elementary Teacher Training)
2. B.A
3. B.A, B.Ed
4. M.A, B.Ed
5. M.A, M.Ed
6. M.A, B. Ed with Dip. in Counseling

in general participated. The workshop was divided into two parts:

1. Philosophical Teaching - that is sharing general awareness about the subject and its background.
2. Specific Teaching: that is focusing  upon the teaching skills and presenting and delivering in such a way as may bring out the best out of the student/learner.

The school is having 100% results, director said. "We do not approve of any unfair means and for this we are famous in the area. Poor performer do not join our school. Even the parents who believe that their children will be helped in their wrong deed do not dare to get their wards admitted in our school.
We have about 1200 students at present from LKG to 10th class."

I know the stuff of the director. Because he and his family  is in my touch for the past about 20 years.

The session started with

- Hey Malik Tere Bande Hum , neki par chalen aur badi se talen taki hanste huye nikle dum
  ( O God, we are your children. Empower us to follow the right path to lead a life of righteousness and avoid the wrong path so that we may breathe last easily and happily to reach in your lap."

- Thereafter, introductions- mine through video and teachers in person.
- Deliberations on various qualities of good teacher and how they should behave in class and outside class.

- Teacher is VIP -
- Teaching is a most satisfying profession in the world as we touch human lives, have the opportunity to lead a life among lively environments like: games, contests, singing, playing etc. No other profession in the world offers these kind of co-curricular rather co-profession activities.

2nd day was Teaching Specific:


Teachers were given lecture on:
- Discipline
- Self conduct- inside the class and outside the class in society.
- Subject specific expertise
- Punctuality and its importance.
- Education and its meaning
- Total personality development of the child.

We all had tea and lunch together. That session was like networking in business meets.
