Why it's important to balance work from home for healthy life:

- To All who are working from Home,

(published as received)

I want to share one bad experience of my friend's friend who was working from home.

He started working from home in march like all of us, due to team member's network issues, unavailability of laptops There was heavy workload on him, he used to work for 12-13 hrs, multiple calls, meetings, Lunch/breakfast along with work. After one month his right leg got slight swelling, he went to general physician.after few more days he started facing little difficulty while breathing. Considering this is normal, he ignored n continued to work as usual 12-13 hrs.

One day he suddenly collapsed and fainted, became unconscious for almost five minutes. His wife along with society members gave him first aid to gain consciousness. He immediately admitted hospital n moved to ICU for three days. Obviously covid test done for him, fortunately it was negative. Few more blood tests were done. Blood clots found in his legs. Doctor said prolonged sitting led to formation of blood clots in legs, once clots forms they can travel to lungs, one od the reason for his breathing issue.

He took leave for one month. He called me shared this experience and told me that this incident changed him completely about his views towards life, work and how important health is.

Your health should be of the utmost importance and at the top of your priority list. When your health is not in good condition, every other aspect of your life suffers.

So many of us working like this ingoring body singnal. I just want to request you all to avoid sitting for long hours continuously, take 5-10 min break after every 2 hrs, take small walk. Avoid work from bed, sofa, maintain proper posture, aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity every day.

Just wanted to share this with you all, as most of people currently working from home. Please please avoid sitting for long hours without taking breaks.

share this message with all your friends who are WFH.

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...

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...

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...

A Different Kind of Smart: Nokia's Wary Approach to the Android Ecosystem:

- Beyond the Simple Narrative: Why Nokia's Android Dilemma Was More Than Just Stubbornness For years, the narrative surrounding Nokia's dramatic fall from mobile phone titan has been simplified to a single, damning sentence: "They should have just switched to Android." While seemingly straightforward in hindsight, this perspective overlooks the complex strategic considerations and valid concerns that likely influenced Nokia's fateful decisions. Diving deeper reveals a story where data privacy and the perceived potential of their own ecosystem played significant roles in their hesitation. The mid-to-late 2000s witnessed a seismic shift in the mobile landscape with the arrival of the iPhone and the burgeoning Android platform. While Apple's sleek design and intuitive software captured consumer hearts, Android, with its open-source nature and Google's backing, quickly gained momentum. Nokia, the reigning champion of the feature phone era, found itself at a c...

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....
