Many men, never fail because they never try!

  23/10/20 If you intend to start up a new venture, the first project one should invest in is, “Project-Me’. This is to prepare yourself 360 degrees, for emotional to spiritual strength.  Essentially do a SWOT analysis for Self . Be true to yourself. Many of the weaknesses that you may have, might be perceived ones and many for real but trifle. These could be addressed proactively/simultaneously, while on your dream project/ startup.  More so, if you reckon they are a part of your core, then find co founders, who have these strengths but may lack a couple of your strengths.

However, in the event of extenuating barriers to such a change, the ideal position would be a humble reminder, for total acceptance of the situation and thus avoid suffering, even amidst pain.  In terms of spirituality, the attachment continues to be a source of suffering. Only if we are ready, to b...

Could we apply the corporate norms to the social bond of marriage/any relationship?

  Could we apply the corporate norms to the social bond of marriage/any relationship? Effective Team building and team playing are equivalent to successful marriage: Team building : Recruitment stage: What team member would you select? Would you recruit someone who has the same competencies as you and lacks the same skill that you do not have? Nah!.You would select a team member whose skill set will make your team complete! In other words the selection of a team member in a team of two, is that based on complementarity rather than substitutability The final point of selection is based on  like-mindedness. (Compatibility) In other words there may be many people with the required skill sets but possibly do not have the same wavelength like you.This is where the point of rejection or selection is reiterated, that it is just a matter of being the best fit. It has nothing to do with the individual’s competencies but being a good fit in the given jigsaw puzzle. Team Playing: Proje...
