Why you MUST take an off

Even though you love your work,
Even though you feel energised,
Even though your boss is super-supportive by not micromanaging you

You must take an off on the weekends and on the festivals.

Because things that are meant to be enjoyed and relished are the things that are meant to be enjoyed and relished.

There is no substitute to not spending time with yourself and reflecting, because only in emptiness you get to understand yourself.

Which makes you all the more productive when you return to work.

3 things that define you

Being honest before anyone “catches” you
Being real when everyone is talking about Ferrero Rocher and you like having your own suji halwa
Helping because you can, even though you think others won’t care

Before you…

Before you decide to keep someone happy, make sure your happiness is aligned…

Before you decide to get angry at someone, make sure you have let go of your anger on yourself…

Before you choose to judge someone, make sure you are understanding that you aren’t doing a right thing either, by putting yourself on a higher pedestal…

Before you decide to eat one more mithai, make sure you are living a healthy lifestyle already…

Before you decide to stay up late, make sure this is a rarity…

Making of a Manager

TIL:

1. Being right is better than being nice.

2. You can be kind still be right.

3. People would rather work for a competent boss who is difficult, than an incompetent nice person (this one is copy pasted from my boss).

Life lessons that come the hard way

Do not express your emotions when too happy or too sad.
Work towards being on the middle path.
Make sure you don’t cry. Please.

The biggest facts of life

Your parents do not give you time as a kid, and want you to return that vacuum with heart full of love.

Your tears lay the foundation of your highest successess.

The most important journey you will ever take, is to be in a good mood.

Why everyone should write

Because you let go of your internal issues
You tend to think clearly
You become a better speaker
You don’t need validation from others.
You find peace in your own company

Why do we get sad?

The reason for getting sad is never the real reason.

The loss.
The no.
The rejection.
The lack.
The “never”.

These are not the real reasons. They are just drapes to cover up the original reasons.

The real reason is we are crying for something deeper.
We believe we don’t matter.
We think that our work doesn’t make an impact.
Or our presence doesn’t make anyone happy.
Or that everything will be happy even if we left.
Or perhaps that there will never be a tomorrow.

That is the real thing that makes us sad.

Think through it about what made you sad recently.
The reason was one of these.

However, the truth of life is this:

YOU matter.
YOU are important.
YOUR work makes a difference.

YOUR absence would make things difficult.

YOU are needed.

This holds true irrespective of what ANYONE tells you.
