Acharya Prashant
To demolish all that is false

One could call him the best contemporary representative of Advait Vedanta. Or one could simply call him a teacher beyond any tradition.

Equally, one can see an abundance of compassion, love and reverence in his being. But the most appropriate way to know him would be through his work.

----------------------------------------------------

Accept that people hide their skeletons, which requires blind forgiveness of their quirks and moods because you’re unaware of what they’re dealing with. We’d all be nicer to each other if our hardest problems weren’t the ones we were least likely to make public.

Accept that few people have bad intentions, but lots of people do bad things because of bad incentives. This isn’t an excuse for bad behavior, but it helps you feel a little better about humanity.

Accept that people who have lived different lives have different views about what the world’s problems are. I might think your priorities are crazy not because they’re wrong, but because they’re addressing issues I don’t see in my own life. This is the root of most internet arguments.

Accept that choosing your college major at age 18 means many people end up in the wrong careers, so people you don’t think much of can be brilliant and insightful at things you never see.

Accept that rest is a key component of hard work. If this were as obvious in business as it is in exercise we’d all be more productive.

Accept that people have vastly different desires, except for two things: Respect, and control over their time. Those are nearly universal.

Accept that in 10 years you’ll realize a lot of stuff you believe today is wrong. (Most stuff if you’re under age 30; all stuff if under age 20.)

Accept that there’s little correlation between hard work and success, but lots of correlation between solving other people’s problems and success. No one cares if you moved a mountain. They only care if they needed the mountain moved in the first place.

Accept that every product we love today started out as a crazy-looking solution to a serious problem, which means should be more hopeful about solving serious problems and more accepting of crazy-looking solutions.

Accept that history is a continuous chain of accident, regret, error, miscalculation, bad decisions, unintended consequences, surprise, and misinformation – but things still got mostly better for most people, and most people meant well along the way.

“I constantly see people rise in life who are not the smartest, sometimes not even the most diligent, but they are learning machines. They go to bed every night a little wiser than they were when they got up and boy does that help, particularly when you have a long run ahead of you.” -- Charlie Munger.

"Let no one be slow to seek wisdom when he is young nor weary in the search of it when he has grown old. For no age is too early or too late for the health of the soul." -- Epicurus

Green Revolution... Is it so?

http://www.palekarzerobudgetspiritualfarming.org/


Green Revolution is being called as a revolution. Is it so? 

Is Green Revolution a revolution? What is meant by revolution ? 

Revolution means creation. Non-violent creation! 

Revolution does not mean destruction. It means creation. 

The aim of revolution is to make saints not evils.

5 reasons why leaving your job to pursue your passion is not always a good idea

5 reasons why leaving your job to pursue your passion is not always a good idea


5 side-effects of being an entrepreneur

#1 – Be ready with the inconsistent income
#2 – You will doubt your decision many times
#3 – Lack of focus in work
#4 – You can still be frustrated
#5 – Your work and life balance goes for a toss


Should you leave your job, even if you are earning a good enough salary ?
Consider these points,

• Entrepreneurship can be a very lonely world.
• Having skills does not mean everything.
• Strategic vs Being Negative.
• Doing a job can be equally awesome.

It's all about,

So, basically it is,

sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2018/01/the-three-elements-of-entrepreneurship.html

And what do people do when they’re acting like entrepreneurs?

1. They make decisions.
2. They invest in activities and assets that aren’t a sure thing.
3. They persuade others to support a mission with a non-guaranteed outcome.
4. This one is the most amorphous, the most difficult to pin down and thus the juiciest: They embrace (instead of run from) the work of doing things that might not work.

As far as I can tell, that’s it. Everything else you can hire.

But before you walk away from it, give it a try.  Entrepreneurial behavior isn't about scale, it's about a desire for a certain kind of journey.

आई घराचं मांगल्य असते तर वडील घराचं अस्तित्व असतात.

आई घराचं मांगल्य असते तर वडील घराचं अस्तित्व असतात.

वडिलांना महत्त्व असूनही व्याख्याता आई विषयी बोलत राहतो.

वडिलांविषयी जास्त कोठेही लिहिलं जात नाही.

संत महात्म्यांनी आईचंच महत्त्व अधिक सांगितलेलं आहे.

देवादिकांनी आईचेच गोडवे गायलेले आहेत.
चांगल्या गोष्टींना आईचीच उपमा दिली जाते. पण वडिलांविषयी कुठेच फारसं बोललं जात नाही.
काही लोकांनी वडील रेखाटले पण तेही तापट, व्यसनी, मारझोड करणारेच !

समाजात एक-दोन टक्के असे वडील असतीलही, पण चांगल्या वडिलांबद्दल काय ?

आईकडे अश्रुंचे पाट असतात पण बापाकडे संयमाचे घाट असतात.
आई रडून मोकळी होते. पण सांत्वन वडिलांनाच करावं लागतं आणि रडण्यापेक्षा सांत्वन करणाऱ्यावरच जास्त ताण पडतो.

आयुष्याची शिदोरी करणारा बाप आम्ही किती सहज विसरून जातो !
आई रडते. वडिलांना रडता येत नाही.

जिजाबाईंनी शिवाजी घडवला असं अवश्य म्हणावं. पण त्याच वेळी शहाजी राजांची ओढाताणही ध्यानात घ्यावी. देवकी व यशोदेचं कौतुक करावं. पण पुरातून पोराला डोक्यावर घेऊन जाणारा वासुदेव सुद्धा लक्षात ठेवावा.
राम कौसल्येचा पुत्र असला तरीही पुत्र वियोगाने मरण पावलेला पिता दशरथ होता.

कोणालाही परीक्षेचा निकाल लागल्यावर आई जवळची वाटते. कारण ती जवळ घेते, कवटाळते, कौतुक करते.
पण गुपचुप पेढ्याचा पुडा आणणारा बाप कोणालाच लक्षात रहात नाही.

चटका बसला, ठेच लागली, फटका बसला तर 'आई गं' हा शब्द बाहेर पडतो पण रस्ता पार करताना एखादा ट्रक जवळ येऊन ब्रेक लावतो तेव्हा 'बाप रे' हाच शब्द बाहेर पडतो.

छोट्या संकटकाळी आई चालते पण मोठमोठी वादळं पेलताना बापच आठवतो !!

आई असते अश्रुंचे पाट, पण बाप सयंमाचा घाट.
आई देते रडन्याला वाट, बापावर मात्र तनावाची लाट !
आई असते जळनारी ज्योत, पण बाप ज्योतिसाठी समई,
ज्योत विझून थंड रहाते, ज्योतिसाठी समई स्वता तापते !
रोजच्या जेवणाची सोय करते आई, पण बापाला आयुष्याच्या शिदोरिची घाई आई रडते बापाला रडता येत नाहीत्याच, दुःख त्याच्या शरिराताच राही,

स्वताची आई मेली तरी रडायच नाही कारण बहिणीचा मग तो आधार होई.
स्वताचा बाप मेला तरी रडायच नाही कारण छोट्या भावंडात जिव अडकून राही,


जन्माला आल की मुलाच्या आईच खुप कौतुक होत पण होस्पिटलच्या बाहेर अस्वस्थ बापाकड़े कोण पाहत ?

कधी अचानक पत्नी पण अर्ध्यावर सोडून जाई तरी सुधा डोळ्यातून अश्रूंचा थेम्ब नाही !
कारण पोटच्या पोराना सांभाळायच असत अश्रुना आवर घालून सगळ सावरायाच असत, त्याला फ़क्त झिझायच एवढच माहित असत जबाबदारीच ओझच आता वहायच असत !

मुलीला गावुन ,मुलाला लुंगी ,स्वताला मात्र कापड जुनफटकी बनियान, त्याला पडलेली भोक दाढीला नाही साबण.

पोरिच लग्न ,पोराच शिक्षण , दुसर उत्पन्नाच साधन नसत मुलाच्या इंजीनियरिंग प्रवेशासाठी त्याच पायतान झिझत,

बाप सर्वांसाठी सर्व करूनही तो कणखरपणे उभा असतो.....

पण त्याचा दिवस आता मावळतीकड़े झुकलेला असतो..!!

Stephen Covey's Seven Habits Of Highly Effective People

============================================================================

Stephen Covey's Seven Habits are a simple set of rules for life - inter-related and synergistic. Each one worthy of following in its own right. For many people, reading Covey's work, or listening to him speak, literally changes their lives.

This is just a brief overview of the Seven Habits - the full work is fascinating, comprehensive, and thoroughly uplifting. We recommend you read the book, or listen to the full tape series if you can get hold of it.


HABIT 1 - BE PROACTIVE®
This is the ability to control one's environment, rather than have it control you, as is so often the case. You can either be proactive or reactive when it comes to how you act about certain things. Being "proactive" means taking responsibility for everything in life. When you're reactive, you blame other people and circumstances for obstacles or problems.

HABIT 2 - BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND®
Covey calls this the habit of personal leadership - leading oneself that is, towards what you consider your aims. By developing the habit of concentrating on relevant activities you will build a platform to avoid distractions and become more productive and successful.

HABIT 3 - PUT FIRST THINGS FIRST®
Prioritizing work aimed at long-term goals, at the expense of tasks that appear to be urgent, but are in fact less important. Successful delegation, according to Covey, focuses on results and benchmarks that are to be agreed in advance, rather than on prescribing detailed work plans.

HABIT 4 - THINK WIN-WIN®
The habit of interpersonal leadership. Necessary because achievements are largely dependent on co-operative efforts with others. He says that win-win is based on the assumption that there is plenty for everyone, and that success follows a co-operative approach more naturally than the confrontation of win-or-lose.

HABIT 5 - SEEK FIRST TO UNDERSTAND AND THEN TO BE UNDERSTOOD®
Habit of communication, and it's extremely powerful. Covey helps to explain this in his simple analogy 'diagnose before you prescribe'. Simple and effective, and essential for developing and maintaining positive relationships in all aspects of life. Giving out advice before having empathetically understood a person and their situation will likely result in that advice being rejected. Thoroughly listening to another person's concerns will increase the chance of establishing a working communication.

HABIT 6 - SYNERGIZE®
The habit of creative co-operation - the principle that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, which implicitly lays down the challenge to see the good and potential in the other person's contribution. Apply effective problem solving. Apply collaborative decision making. Value differences. Build on divergent strengths. Leverage creative collaboration. Embrace and leverage innovation.

HABIT 7 - SHARPEN THE SAW®
The habit of self renewal, it necessarily surrounds all the other habits, enabling and encouraging them to happen and grow. Learn from previous experiences and encourage others to do the same. Covey interprets the self into four parts: the spiritual, mental, physical and the social/emotional, which all need feeding and developing.

Must Wach => "Innovative destruction, not disruption"

"Developer - Programmer - Coder - Tester - Quality Assurance Eng. - Software engineer - Support engineer" What really are we ?

They are the poster boys of matrimonial classifieds. They are paid handsomely, perceived to be intelligent and travel abroad frequently. Single-handedly, they brought purpose to the otherwise sleepy city of Bangalore.

Indian software engineers are today the face of a third-world rebellion. But what exactly do they do? That's a disturbing question. Last week, during the annual fair of the software industry's apex body Nasscom, no one uttered a word about India's programmers.

The event, which brought together software professionals from around the world, used up all its 29 sessions to discuss prospects to improve the performance of software companies. Panels chose to debate extensively on subjects like managing innovation, business growth and multiple geographies.

But there was nothing on programmers, who you would imagine are the driving force behind the success of the Indian software companies. Perhaps you imagined wrong. "It is an explosive truth that local software companies won't accept.

Most software professionals in India are not programmers, they are mere coders," says a senior executive from a global consultancy firm, who has helped Nasscom in researching its industry reports.

In industry parlance, coders are akin to smart assembly line workers as opposed to programmers who are plant engineers. Programmers are the brains, the glorious visionaries who create things. Large software programmes that often run into billions of lines are designed and developed by a handful of programmers.

Coders follow instructions to write, evaluate and test small components of the large program. As a computer science student in IIT Mumbai puts it if programming requires a post graduate level of knowledge of complex algorithms and programming methods, coding requires only high school knowledge of the subject.

Coding is also the grime job. It is repetitive and monotonous. Coders know that. They feel stuck in their jobs. They have fallen into the trap of the software hype and now realise that though their status is glorified in the society, intellectually they are stranded.

Companies do not offer them stock options anymore and their salaries are not growing at the spectacular rates at which they did a few years ago.

"There is nothing new to learn from the job I am doing in Pune. I could have done it with some training even after passing high school," says a 25-year-old who joined Infosys after finishing his engineering course in Nagpur.

A Microsoft analyst says, "Like our manufacturing industry, the Indian software industry is largely a process driven one. That should speak for the fact that we still don't have a domestic software product like Yahoo or Google to use in our daily lives."

IIT graduates have consciously shunned India's best known companies like Infosys and TCS, though they offered very attractive salaries. Last year, from IIT Powai, the top three Indian IT companies got just 10 students out of the 574 who passed out.

The best computer science students prefer to join companies like Google and Trilogy. Krishna Prasad from the College of Engineering, Guindy, Chennai, who did not bite Infosys' offer, says, "The entrance test to join TCS is a joke compared to the one in Trilogy. That speaks of what the Indian firms are looking for."

A senior TCS executive, who requested anonymity, admitted that the perception of coders is changing even within the company. It is a gloomy outlook. He believes it has a lot to do with business dynamics.

The executive, a programmer for two decades, says that in the late '70s and early '80s, software drew a motley set of professionals from all kinds of fields.

In the mid-'90s, as onsite projects increased dramatically, software companies started picking all the engineers they could as the US authorities granted visas only to graduates who had four years of education after high school.  

Page 3 of 3

"After Y2K, as American companies discovered India's cheap software professionals, the demand for engineers shot up," the executive says. Most of these engineers were coders. They were almost identical workers who sat long hours to write line after line of codes, or test a fraction of a programme.

They did not complain because their pay and perks were good. Now, the demand for coding has diminished, and there is a churning.

Over the years, due to the improved communication networks and increased reliability of Indian firms, projects that required a worker to be at a client's site, say in America, are dwindling in number. And with it the need for engineers who have four years of education after high school.

Graduates from non-professional courses, companies know, can do the engineer's job equally well. Also, over the years, as Indian companies have already coded for many common applications like banking, insurance and accounting, they have created libraries of code which they reuse.

Top software companies have now started recruiting science graduates who will be trained alongside engineers and deployed in the same projects. The CEO of India's largest software company TCS, S Ramadorai, had earlier explained, "The core programming still requires technical skills.

But, there are other jobs we found that can be done by graduates." NIIT's Arvind Thakur says, "We have always maintained that it is the aptitude and not qualifications that is vital for programming. In fact, there are cases where graduate programmers have done better than the ones from the engineering stream."

Software engineers, are increasingly getting dejected. Sachin Rao, one of the coders stuck in the routine of a job that does not excite him anymore, has been toying with the idea of moving out of Infosys but cannot find a different kind of "break", given his coding experience.

He sums up his plight by vaguely recollecting a story in which thousands of caterpillars keep climbing a wall, the height of which they don't know. They clamber over each other, fall, start again, but keep climbing. They don't know that they can eventually fly.

Rao cannot remember how the story ends but feels the coders of India today are like the caterpillars who plod their way through while there are more spectacular ways of reaching the various destinations of life.   ==========================================================================            

 

Better available options are,

• Look for The Innovation in daily work.
• Look for The Improvement in the system/organisation, we are part of.
• Look for The Possibilities to return something useful to society.
• Look for Business opportunity
• Look to join Indian Politics. --- Yes. India desperately need lots of well educated, talented Leaders. ;)

It's sad to find our education system still far behind to address these things.
