The key to success - Personal life, Professional life, balanced relationships and self-growth:

- Why do you think the 'relationships' are important for growth? Be it a personal life, or professional life.

In this article, we are discussing this aspect in three parts.

Firstly, the importance of personal life and interdependency:

The second part of the discussion is how we can develop our professional life:

The Third Part of the discussion is how a team can help each member’s growth:

1. The importance of personal life and interdependency:

When we discuss ‘self-growth’, we also include discussions about balanced relationships. Relationship plays an important role in every area of life. At the workplace, we need to have a good bond with our colleagues. And in personal life, we need to have a bond with family members, relatives and friends.

Yes, as humans we are always interdependent with each other, in every aspect of life. Thus it is important for us to understand where we stand in terms of this interdependence. Unless we are not related to something or someone, our achievements or success will not be worth. This will give us support, energy and vision to work. We will be more confident, and we can enjoy every bit of success. We will grow professionally. The interdependence will help us to grow in areas where we are lacking. To explore more on ‘Interdependence’, you can read the book ‘The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People’ by Stephen Covey.

The personal life seems to be very limited compared to social life, in terms of time commitment, engagement and acquaintances. But when it comes to impact, personal life has a lot of influence on our lives and decisions. The balanced personal life will help us balance our social life. To be more focused on professional life, a person needs to have a peaceful and happy personal life.

We need to get stronger in interaction with family members, spending good quality time, understanding each other, empathy, forgiveness etc. This will make our mind more relaxed and serene. We will, in turn, be more attentive to our work. This will help us to focus on professional tasks.

In today’s scenario, due to social media and self-centeredness, we are losing these essences of family life. We are not enjoying the fruit of family life. We have devastated relationships, which has led us to feel relationship to be more burden than a boon.

2. The second part of the discussion is how we can develop our professional life:

Having a very stable, focused and gratifying professional life is very important, as this is the source of our earning, as well as the place and people where we spend more time. Professional life is important in every aspect. Be it sharing the success, or failure.  The work needs your concentration, dedication towards what you are doing, learning from mistakes, helping others to come out of mistakes, celebrating team success etc.

Whatever we do, the ‘Focus’ is the key. It is a power to accomplish the task at a greater level of excellence. We should be aware of vision, passion, and focus on the work or project we are doing right now. Focus on the tasks is the key. To achieve our goal, we need to have a focus on the target. The aspects like Concentration, observation and determination are also very important.

Our ideas, thoughts and actions should work in one direction. We plan many things, we think over things, and also start with few things and leave it in between. This is where we lose to achieving success in life. The perseverance is the key. It is a very negative trait in us, where we start the tasks and projects and leave in between.

We have to put our 100% at the time of practice as well as the execution. Perfection doesn't come just like that. If you look at the car race or car stunt master skills, it takes a breath out of us.

Can you imagine how many hours a racer might have committed for one final race lap? It needs lots of practice, dedication, determination, focus and concentration. Can we learn focus and excellence from them?

3. The third Part of the discussion is how a team can help each member’s growth:

The understanding of our areas of improvement is crucial. Knowing where we are lacking and trying to grow in those areas by interacting with people around, taking feedbacks, learning from their work etc.

Every one of us has our own ideas, thought, style of work, fears etc. We all might have different ways of solving the problem. We can take help from people around, in solving problems which we encounter to be difficult. For that again interdependency is important, support each other’s cause in a team as our own. In any workplace productive interactions are key.

Interaction in the workplace will help us find a solution and also in knowing our progress. This is the benefit of teamwork. The teams also help us in keeping track of our work and achievements as well as failures too. Because we learn from mistakes. Further, the teams help us to grow in areas where we are weak or need extra support. And also an appreciation for work is important. And for that interaction and a good bond with our team is needed

Additionally, in established companies, there is a practice of quarterly or yearly performance review. This is also a very good opportunity for our growth. It is a key aspect of the performance review and self-growth.

Beyond the Clock: Reclaiming Our Most Precious Hours for Family:

 - The sun climbs, painting the morning sky with hues of promise. For many, that daily ascent marks not the beginning of personal pursuits, but the quiet march towards another workday. From **8 AM to 5 PM**, five days a week, the most vibrant, energetic hours of our lives are often exchanged for the steady hum of the office. This isn't just a block of time; it's the very core of our waking, productive selves, poured into tasks and targets that shape our careers, but often leave precious little for the dreams that stir outside the cubicle walls. Think of it. These are the hours when the mind is sharpest, the body most resilient, the spirit most eager. It's when children are at school, when the daylight holds the most potential for outdoor adventures, creative projects, or simply quiet reflection. Yet, for nearly a decade or two, sometimes even longer, this prime segment of our existence is dedicated to the demands of professional life. We arrive, often before the world fully...

Improving your perspective-taking skills can help you build stronger relationships:

 -  Ever notice how sometimes it feels like other people just don't get you? Or maybe you've had that feeling about someone else? A lot of this comes down to something called "perspective-taking"—basically, the ability to see things from someone else's point of view. It's like trying to walk in their shoes for a bit. But it turns out, this isn't always easy, and many of us struggle with it. So, why is it so hard to see things from another person's perspective, and what can we do about it? What is Perspective-taking: Perspective-taking is the ability to understand another person's thoughts, feelings, and experiences. It is an essential skill for building empathy, compassion, and understanding in our relationships. However, many people struggle with perspective-taking. There are several reasons why this might be the case. Why some people lack it: One reason is that people may be too focused on their own thoughts and feelings. When we are constan...

The Bridge of "Sorry":

 - The Closed Door and a Quiet "Sorry" A story to remind us the power of sorry: Raj had left his charger bag in the training building earlier. Returning late, he found the main door locked. He knocked repeatedly. Finally, the caretaker, a stern Mr. Verma, opened it, his face tight with annoyance. "What's the commotion?" Mr. Verma grumbled, glancing past Raj at another resident, Ravi, who had been startled by the loud knocking. He'd assumed Raj was trying to barge in. " Mr. Verma, I'm so sorry, " Raj said quickly, his voice sincere. "I didn't mean to disturb anyone with the late knocking." Instantly, Mr. Verma's expression softened. The annoyance faded. "Ah, it's you, Raj. No worries, son. For a moment, I thought you were just being inconsiderate. But that 'sorry'… it makes all the difference, eh?" He offered a small smile, the tension gone. Ravi nodded in agreement. Raj retrieved his bag, the brief moment...

Hitting Your Target

Introduction from  Bull's-Eye by Brian Tracy We are living in the greatest time in all of human history. Despite short-term economic fluctuations, there have never been more opportunities for more people to achieve more of their goals than there are today. The fact is, you have more potential than you could use in a hundred lifetimes. And the more of your potential you use, the more potential becomes available to you. The more you learn, the more you can learn. There is no reason for you not to be earning twice as much as you are today, or even five or ten times as much. There are people all around you who are no more talented than you, and no better educated, who are already earning this much. And what others have done, you can do as well, if you just learn how. Clarity, Focus, and Concentration You have the ability right now to achieve more than you ever have before, as long as you incorporate three essential mental skills into your life: clarity, focus, and concentration....

Successful people don’t search for ‘Job’ but they work:

- Power of saying *YES* Cape Town's uneducated surgeon Mr. Hamilton, was awarded an honorary degree of Master of Medicine; but, he could neither read nor write - he was illiterate. Let's examine how this was possible. Cape Town Medical University is a leading university in the medical world. The world's first heart-bypass operation took place at this university. The honorary degree of Master of Medicine, was awarded to someone who had never seen the inside of a school, in his life. He could neither read an English word nor write ..... But one morning in 2003, world-renowned surgeon Professor David Dent announced in the university auditorium: "Today we are awarding an honorary degree in medicine to the man who produced the most surgeons in the world". He is an extraordinary teacher, an amazing surgeon and studied medical science and surprised the human mind. With this announcement, the professor said the name: "Hamilton" and the entire auditorium stood-up...
