"You are born original, do not die a copy":

     This proverb in the title of the article is a very interesting one i read it on a T-shirt. Now a days this clothing companies run informal education through T-shirts (LoL). I started smiling when I thought about how we follow herd mentality and become an artificial product. Every individual has inborn potentials, this potentials have to be brought out through internal and external motivation.
     There are several factors as to why people do not take risk to act as per their thought and reasoning. The one major factor is fear of failing. It is usually very easy to see the result of someone doing something and then following them. Swami vivekananda has commented on leadership as "Take risk in your life, if you win you will lead, if you lose you will guide".
      The second factor i like to highlight is inferiority complex which is caused because of low self-confidence and low self-esteem. The doubts are raised as to what if my idea does not get recognised or idea does not work well.
     And the same pattern follows in our daily lives. We want to follow hair style of our friend, buy a watch as is with our friend, build a home as designed by our neighbour. The people tend to give very less force on original or first hand thinking. Many times these proverbs are very worthwhile ' Trail costs nothing' or a risky proverb 'Trail and error'.
     Motivate the original and trusted thoughts, Think Moral. Change is you...

Effective team management is neither about passive detachment nor rigid control. It is an active, supportive practice of process design and human care:

- The Anchor of Execution: Balancing Process and the Human Face in Workflow Management In any organization, a strategic plan is only as good as its execution. While leadership sets the vision, it is the team manager who serves as the anchor of day-to-day operations. Historically, management frameworks treated this role as purely mechanical—a numbers game of tracking timelines and treating human beings as mere "resources" to be scheduled. However, modern operational research has brought a critical truth to light: you cannot successfully manage the process if you neglect the people. Exceptional workflow management requires balancing the technical mechanics of a project with the neuro-emotional safety of the team executing it. When a manager fails to oversee the flow of work, deadlines slip and quality degrades. But when a manager relies solely on rigid micromanagement, burn-out spikes and team members hide critical mistakes. True oper...

Silicon Valley’s Wildest Backstory: The HP Division That Conquered the Tech World:

- 🚀 The Ultimate Corporate Glow-Up: How a Tiny HP Division Outgrew the Entire Company "In 1999, tech pioneer Hewlett-Packard packed up a small, secondary semiconductor department and spun it off to clear some space. Today, that 'minor department' is Broadcom—an absolute empire worth a staggering $1.8 Trillion." Did you know that Broadcom—one of the biggest tech giants in the world today—was actually born inside Hewlett-Packard? For anyone who doesn't know the backstory, this is wild: **Broadcom**—the massive semiconductor and AI tech giant—actually started out as just a small internal department of **Hewlett-Packard (HP)** back in 1961! In 1999, HP spun off its chip division into a separate company, which eventually evolved into the Broadcom we know today. Look at how much the student has outgrown the master now: Broadcom Inc. (AVGO), which handles those advanced AI chips and infrastructure, is now worth a massive **$1.8 Trillion**. Meanwhile, the original pare...

Is anybody happier because you passed his way?

- Is anybody happier because you passed his way? Does anyone remember that you spoke to him today? This day is almost over, and its toiling time is through; Is there anyone to utter now a kindly word of you? Did you give a cheerful greeting to the friend who came along? Or a churlish sort of "Howdy" and then vanish in the throng? Were you selfish pure and simple as you rushed along the way, Or is someone mighty grateful for a deed you did today? Can you say tonight, in parting with the day that's slipping fast, That you helped a single brother of the many that you passed? Is a single heart rejoicing over what you did or said; Does a man whose hopes were fading now with courage look ahead? Did you waste the day, or lose it, was it well or sorely spent? Did you leave a trail of kindness or a scar of discontent? Source: taken from Edgar Albert Guest poem. Reflection of above poem: "Is anybody happier because you passed his way?" is a po...

Wherever you focus your energy, is where things will grow. Focus on what serves you, rather than what limits your life experience:

Forgive yourself first. Release the need to replay a negative situation over and over again in your mind. Don't become a hostage to your past by always reviewing and reliving your mistakes. Don't remind yourself of what should have, could have or would have been. Release it and let go. Move on. Stop cross-referencing your life, path, achievements & growth with what others are doing. Respect the fact that everyone is on their own journey and their timing is unique to them. Great things will happen to you if you work hard, believe in yourself and keep your vibration high. When you are thankful for what you have, you will be rewarded with more. Stay positive and things will get better. Changing Times: It is wise to bend rather than to break. Those who change will get spiritual wisdom. Conversely, those who have wisdom will decide to change. Change is the first law of Nature. In fact, change is the mark of Time. All your efforts to achieve power, money, or anythi...

Tokyo Olympics, two sportsmen makes us realise true meaning of joy:

The scene is the final of men's high jump at the Tokyo Olympics. Italy's Gianmarco Tamberi was facing Qatar's Mutaz Essa Barshim in the final. Both of them jumped 2.37 meters and were on par ! Olympic officials gave three more attempts to each of them, but they were unable to reach more than 2.37 meters. One more attempt was given to two both of them, but Tampberi withdrew from the last attempt due to a serious leg injury. The moment when there was no other opponent in front of Barshim, the moment when he could have easily approached the gold alone ! But Barshim asked the official "if the gold can be shared between the two of us if I withdraw from the final attempt ?" The official checks and confirms and says "yes then the gold will be shared between the two of you". Barshim then had nothing to think about, announces withdrawal from the last attempt. Seeing this, the Italian opponent Tamberi ran and hugged Barshim and screamed ! What we sa...

The Secret to a Happy Marriage: Stop Trying to Win and Start Nurturing:

- Nurturing the Marital Garden: When the Relationship Wins In the grand tapestry of life, marriage stands as one of the most profound and challenging relationships we undertake. It's a journey filled with shared dreams, laughter, and sometimes, inevitable disagreements. Yet, the true triumph in marriage isn't about one person "winning" an argument or proving a point; it's about the relationship winning. It's about cultivating a shared space where both individuals can thrive, a garden that requires constant, loving care. Often, in the heat of the moment, our instincts can lead us to defend ourselves, to score points, or to push for our own way. However, this competitive mindset can chip away at the very foundation of the union. When we prioritize winning as an individual, we inadvertently lose something far more valuable: the strength and intimacy of our bond. The key to a flourishing marriage lies in shifting our focus from "me" to "us," e...
