Life Skills

- Do you know the ingredients of our school WhatsApp group. The school WhatsApp group is a very special group it has kept our early life history together. Its a very special group. Below are the types of creative members in school WhatsApp group. Relentless Forwarder: who spends all day forwarding things – jokes, news articles, conspiracy theories, fake news. The Relentless Forwarder forwards, and having forwarded moves on.  Lurker: rarely posts but reads everything and occasionally pops up to say “Happy Birthday”.  The Silent One: has the group on mute and only checks it when stuck in traffic in an Uber or sitting in the toilet.  The Cheerleader: is usually the most affable member. That’s the gung-ho person who keeps trying to rally the troops and organise a get-together. Shit Stirrer: whose goal it is to needle someone and stir up controversy just because things are getting boring.  Group Bore: who posts long pedantic messages, which no one has time to read....

 - *The Law of Wasted Effort* Do you know that lions only succeed in a quarter of their hunting attempts — which means they fail in 75% of their attempts and succeeds in only 25% of them. Despite this small percentage shared by most predators, they don't despair in their pursuit and hunting attempts.  The main reason for this is not because of hunger as some might think but it is the understanding of the “Law of Wasted Efforts” that have been instinctively built into animals, a law in which nature is governed.  Half of the eggs of fishes are eaten... half of the baby bears die before puberty... most of the world's rains fall in oceans... and most of the seeds of trees are eaten by birds.  Scientists have found that animals, trees, and other forces of nature are more receptive to the law of "wasted efforts".  Only humans think that the lack of success in a few attempts is failure... but the truth is that: we only fail when we "stop trying". Success is not to ...

 - *"NOT EVERYTHING MATTERS EQUALLY"* "It's not enough to be busy, so are the ants."  ~ Henry David Thoreau.  The question is, what are we busy about? Knocking out a hundred tasks for whatever the reason is a poor substitute for doing even one task that is meaningful.  Not everything matters equally, and success is not a game won by whoever does the most. Yet that is exactly how most play it on a daily basis.  "The things which are most important does not always scream the loudest" ~ Bob Hawke Achievers operate differently. They have an eye for the essential. They pause just long enough to decide what matters and then allow what matters to drive their day.  Achievers do Sooner what others plan to do later and defer, perhaps indefinitely, what others do Sooner. The different is not in intent, but in a right of way. Achievers always work from a sense of priority. Source: received through whatsapp

 - Chicken story: A Woman walks into a butchery shop just before closing time and asks,  "Do you still have chicken?"  The butcher opens his deep freezer, takes out his only chicken left and puts it on the weighing scale. It weighs 1.5 kg. 🐓 The woman looks at the chicken and at the scale and asked,  "Do you have one that's a bit bigger than this one ?" The butcher puts his only chicken back into the freezer, and then takes it out again.  But this time when he puts it on the scale, he craftily keeps his thumb on the scale pan. And the scale now shows 2 kg.  "That's wonderful," said the woman.  "I'll take both of them, please!" In a situation like this, you realize at once that your integrity and reputation are firmly on the line.  Your wisdom becomes foolishness, and your cunningness becomes stupidity. Until now the butcher has his head inside the big deep freezer, looking for the first chicken. 😄 *Remember:*  1. Always tell the tru...

 Once a monkey wished to die due to sadness, he pulled the ears of a sleeping lion....  The lion woke up and roared with anger: - Who did this ?  Who has invited his death ?  Monkey :- I did, Maharaj, I am very depressed due to lack of friends and I want to die, why don't you kill and eat me ??   The lion asked with a laugh :- Did anyone see you while pulling my ears ?  Monkey :- No, Chief !   Lion :- Okay, pull one or two more times, it feels very good 😀 The essence of this story...  By living alone, even the King of the forest gets bored….  So stay in touch with your friends, keep pulling their ears, dragging, blabbering... 😄  Don't be dull, keep on having fun....  Believe that your mind will always be cheerful and you will always be healthy…. 👍🏻😁👍🏻😀👍🏻 Let's live to live happily ❤️ Source: Received through whatsapp

-A guide for new entrepreneurs: Business relies on 5 C's Capability -> Contacts -> Customers -> Cash -> Continuity... (start from first Capability -> above...) Most of the new entrepreneurs i have seen find the last step difficult..  But if this is achieved, the cycle will start and the outcome will be called Business.  Without continuity, your sale would end up to be a one time show, and most of the stories in the market resonates around it.  The Key to continuity is review & feedback... this will give you the root cause.  if your good customer does not return, you may need to accommodate his review feedback.  And this will bring continuity you are looking for!! Our compilation of issues due to which sales have failed after one round, or few rounds are... - non-availability of delivery facility,  - lack of online payment methods,  - prices seem over shot,  - quantity verses cost mismatch,  - dwindling tastes,  - one f...

-   Entrepreneurship has become a very famous and fancy word in the 21st century. The Young fellows you might have heard say that they are entrepreneurs or they aspire to become one. What really the game of entrepreneurship is, it is altogether a different career option compared to the traditional job market. A student who becomes an entrepreneur after his studies have to take a risk in developing his idea into an operable, and truly realistic solution. If you look at the entrepreneurs, they have really tried to solve the world problems, and many entrepreneurs started from a small scratch and they have become billion-dollar brands and organisations. If you take an example of Tesla, a USA based electric car company, when Tesla had this initiative to launch electric cars similar to other fast cars, nobody thought this idea could work. The industry of electric cars had earlier failed because it had a problem with the mileage, in terms of the sustainability of battery in a lo...
