Life is going to shovel dirt on you!!!

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for ...hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey.

He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down.

A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.

As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off!

MORAL :
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a steppingstone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.

WHY EMPLOYEES LEAVE ORGANISATIONS ?- Azim Premji, CEO- Wipro

Every company faces the problem of people leaving the company for better pay or profile.

Early this year, Mark, a senior software designer, got an offer from a prestigious international firm to work in its India operations developing specialized software. He was thrilled by the offer.

He had heard a lot about the CEO. The salary was great. The company had all the right systems in place employee-friendly human resources (HR) policies, a spanking new office, and the very best technology, even a canteen that served superb food.

Twice Mark was sent abroad for training. “My learning curve is the sharpest it’s ever been,” he said soon after he joined.

Last week, less than eight months after he joined, Mark walked out of the job.

Why did this talented employee leave ?

Arun quit for the same reason that drives many good people away.

The answer lies in one of the largest studies undertaken by the Gallup Organization. The study surveyed over a million employees and 80,000 managers and was published in a book called “First Break All The Rules”. It came up with this surprising finding:

If you’re losing good people, look to their manager …. the manageris the reason people stay and thrive in an organization. And he’s the reason why people leave. When people leave they take knowledge, experience and contacts with them, straight to the competition.

“ People leave managers not companies ,” write the authors Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman.

Mostly manager drives people away?

HR experts say that of all the abuses, employees find humiliation the most intolerable. The first time, an employee may not leave, but a thought has been planted. The second time, that thought gets strengthened. The third time, he looks for another job.

When people cannot retort openly in anger, they do so by passive aggression. By digging their heels in and slowing down. By doing only what they are told to do and no more. By omitting to give the boss crucial information. Dev says:

“If you work for a jerk, you basically want to get him into trouble. You don’t have your heart and soul in the job.”

Different managers can stress out employees in different ways – by being too controlling, too suspicious, too pushy, too critical, but they forget that workers are not fixed assets, they are free agents. When this goes on too long, an employee will quit – often over a trivial issue.

Talented men leave. Dead wood doesn’t.

Anger!!!

One day Buddha was walking through a village. A very angry and rude young man came up and began insulting him. "You have no right teaching others," he shouted. "You are as stupid as everyone else. You are nothing but a fake."

Buddha was not upset by these insults. Instead he asked the young man "Tell me, if you buy a gift for someone, and that person does not take it, to whom does the gift belong?"

The man was surprised to be asked such a strange question and answered, "It would belong to me, because I bought the gift."

The Buddha smiled and said, "That is correct. And it is exactly the same with your anger. If you become angry with me and I do not get insulted, then the anger falls back on you. You are then the only one who becomes unhappy, not me. All you have done is hurt yourself."

If you are right then there is no need to get angry
And if you are wrong then you don't have any right to get angry.

Patience with family is love,
Patience with others is respect,
Patience with self is confidence, and
Patience with GOD is faith.

Never Think Hard about PAST,
It brings Tears...
Don't Think more about FUTURE,
It brings Fears...
Live this Moment with a Smile,
It brings Cheers.!!!!

Every test in our life makes us bitter or better,
Every problem comes to make us or break us,
Choice is ours whether we become victim or victorious !!!

Search a beautiful heart not a beautiful face.
Beautiful things are not always good
but good things are always beautiful.

Do you know, why God created gaps between fingers?
So that someone who is special to you, comes and fills those gaps by holding your hands forever.

-- If you see someone without a smile, give them one of yours! 

How to act like a true boss!!!!

1) Stay in touch with your expertise- if you are good in technical knowledge; do not abandon it for general administrative or supervision role. Similarly if you are good in strategy stay with it. This is your own contribution to the party. Make it your USP.
2) Eliminate Duplication - Functioning as the nerve centre for subordinates and overseeing that there is no duplication or a collision between the two subordinate is an important function of a boss.
3) Instruction- Teach, train your subordinates. It might take you 5 minutes to do a job rather then spending 5 hours explaining it to your subordinate but in long term it will save you hundreds of hours. Earn a reputation of training your staff well and your team will be more productive and star performers will gravitate to work with you.
4) Lead those by example- Do not ask your team to do or follow something which you yourself are not doing or believing in. You need to compete with your subordinates in giving your best to the job. Be a role model and watch your team getting motivated.
5) Clear objective-Tell your team what the job is, what is expected and give feedback how they are measuring up. This will avoid a lot of demotivating and heartburn.
6) Praise and Recognition - The boss has a duty to praise and give recognition when it is due both in private and in public. A good boss should not take the sole credit but also attribute the success to his/her entire team.
7) Error avoidance-A Boss has become a boss because of his/her experience. He/she is expected to anticipate and avoid problems and also see to it that they are not repeated. The biggest mistake which a boss can do is to assume that the subordinates are as experiences or skilled as him/her.
8) Get the best out of the subordinate-A boss needs to be tough, reprimand, motivate or fire people in the best interest of the organization. A good boss need to know what works best with different individuals. Some might require a kick to get them moving while others might require a methodical rational approach while for another set just a hint is sufficient.
