Women are born Managers and Leaders

Women Are Born Managers And Leaders
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Women have both gentleness and strength. Indian scriptures place tremendous amount of power in women. The primordial energy known as Shakti which is the life force behind entire creation is feminine. That is why our scriptures honour women as the highest aspect of divinity ­ the Aadhya Shakti.

Women bring together the finest aspects of society; the ability to create and the transformational ability to make a difference. Women bring us to the planet and teach us how to live. A mother is our first guru, our first teacher.Women teach us our first behaviour, our first step in life. And then women also have a great role to play in society. She can be a strong peacemaker; at home, in the community , in society and in the world. Women can glue differences and bring people of diverse nature together ­ she does it in her home all the time! In this fast pace of life, we need to balance our inner peace, beauty and ethical values with the external challenges we face, and women have it in them to do it. These qualities are inherent in a woman.

A woman has the capacity to be an excellent peacemaker because it is quite natural for her to relate from the level of the heart. The biggest strength that a woman has is her emotions, feelings, motivation and inspiration. Men can inspire to fight but women inspire to unite. There are more wars in the world today because there is a lack of feminine leadership to unite people, overcome differences and bring home to us the purpose we are all born for! In today's war-torn world, we need women to come to the forefront and take more responsibility , without getting stressed. When women are determined, they can do wonders.

Today , we need to ensure that women in our country are literate. When women are well educated and well informed they can take more responsibility, bring about that positive change and can make any project successful.

A woman by nature is multi-talented and multifaceted. Usually and multi-faceted. Usually people think women are emotional but the fact is, women are also great intellectual geniuses and excel in planning and execution. You see any department headed by a woman; chances are that depart ment is much ahead of others.

Women are the backbone of any society . The role of women in the development of a society is of utmost importance. It is the only criterion that determines whether a society is strong and harmonious or not. Also, a corruption-free society can only emerge where women are given due regard, respect and importance. In building character and integrity , women can do a better job.

Given the wealth that is inherent in them, it is very important for women all around the world to sit together and see what they can do to make this world more stress and violence free. You are that spirit. You are the one who can instill love, compassion, spirituality i n people around you and society.

Do not wait to be given power. Just assume it. Unfortunately most of the feminine movements today are demanding rights. You have equal rights. Just own it! You simply have to assert your rights! You don't have to go and ask somebody , it is all there for you! You are a born leader. You have the potential with you to bring prosperity, happiness and joy to this world! Just make this happen!

A SURVIVAL GUIDE for Office Rookies

A SURVIVAL GUIDE FOR OFFICE ROOKIES
- In the first place, get it right

 
Your first job teaches you lessons no college does.
Here's how you survive the initial months of your career

Young and reckless -that's what we are in our 20s. We motorcycle our way through life with no helmet on, until we hit the career highway. Suddenly, we are expected to be responsible and mature, or at least on the path to being `settled'. The transition from wild to mild is not easy and takes some discipline. But steer clear of these major faux pas and you'll be cruising in auto-mode in no time.

1 DON'T BE LATE
If you have a nine-to-five job, stick to the company's official timings. If you have flexible work hours, stick to your word instead. Walking in at 1pm when you promised to report at 11am reflects on your commitment. In your first year, you want people to take you seriously. And how will anyone do that if you can't even honour your own word?

2 DON'T USE OFFICE AS TINDER
Office romance isn't a cardinal sin, but get to know your colleagues and the rules of your workplace better first. The first year is definitely not the right time for you to swipe imaginary rights on those hotties in office. How about you learn more about the job first?

3 STAY SOBER AT PARTIES
Office parties involve a lot of free booze and that's reason enough to get drunk, right? Wrong! Many inappropriate things can be said and done when drunk and you don't want to face the consequences of something you don't even remember doing!

4 DON'T ABSCOND
Sometimes, it's hard to deal with the repercussions of unpleasant decisions that we take at the workplace -like quitting the job. But remember, this is professional, not personal. Your organisation will be far more appreciative if you resign formally and serve your notice period instead of pulling a disappearing act. Take Shreeji Doshi's case, for example. A fresh graduate, he joined a company while simultaneously appearing for post-graduate courses' entrance exams. Just ten days into the job, he secured admission in a premium college. Unsure of how to break the news to his boss, he simply stopped reporting to work. “That affected our relationship completely. If I had manned up, we would have probably remained in touch,“ says Doshi. Absconding can also lead to a bad reputation in the job market, blacklisting and even legal tussles.

5 PRIVATE MEANS PRIVATE
You may find your colleagues friendly, but that doesn't mean that they are your friends. Khusbhu Merchant learnt this the hard way, when she started discussing her personal problems with her teammates. “If I messed up at work, people started attributing it to my personal life, even when it was unrelated,“ says Merchant. In the first year of your job, people may try to exploit your vulnerabilities; don't throw your personal problems to the mix.

6 THINK BEFORE SAYING `YES'
You don't have to impress your bosses all the time. You are new to the job and they understand that. So if they ask you to tackle something brand new, seek help. Here's how: Boss: Rohan, can you make a case study out of our last project?

You: Yes sir, but can I do it with someone who has done it before so that I get it right, as this is my first time? Boss: Of course, of course. Sit with Shreya.
This way, your boss will not only realise that you are aware of where you need to improve at work but also that you have good communication skills.

7 WAIT FOR APPROVAL
If you have a client-facing job, you might be in a position where clients ask you something that you don't have the official answer to. In such situations, do not respond. It is absolutely fine to say that you will get back to them, even if you know what the answer should be. Similarly, do not perform any task without your boss's instruction or approval. Nithin SV, a software consultant, says, “Once, I discussed a software upgrade with a customer who seemed interested. So I got cocky and did the upgrade before getting an approval. I got a lot heat from the customer and my boss. This happened on the second day of my job.“

8 STAY AWAY SOCIAL FROM MEDIA
It's one thing to say, “I hate Mondays“ and quite another to say, “Today I worked on the Reliance accounts file“. You could put your company in trouble or inadvertently give information to your company's competition. You could even put your organisation, and yourself, at risk of legal action.

(The writer has spent a decade in jobs ranging from a management role in a consulting firm to working in the non-profit sector)

Dialogue - Conversation between a Tree and a Human Being


Dialogue - Conversation between a Tree and a Human Being

Tree: Hi, Human Being, How are you? I hope you are well.

Human Being: I am fine, thank you and how are you?

Tree: I’m not fine at all. I’m totally choked, burnt and very hungry.

Human Being: Choked, burnt and hungry? Why? How come?

Tree: Choked because of all the pollution, look at the number of cars, bikes and other vehicles on the road and all those fumes, I can’t breathe and look at me I’m drying away. And hungry because I haven’t been fed for years. And you people are so smart that you use the air conditioning to such a great extent that the heat generated is burning all the leaves and the trees are going bare. If the air conditioning use is reduced at night, the overall temperature will come down drastically. Do you even have a clue of what I’m saying?

Human Being: I can understand you’re being choked, the number of cars and all other vehicular traffic included it’s really bad and the air is totally polluted. We human beings are so many that  it’s really getting crowded and there’s a big rush everywhere. What solutions do you suggest?

Tree: To begin with, you need to stop cutting us. You can’t live without us. You will die of extreme pollution and suffocation, if we don’t produce fresh oxygen for you to breathe. That shade providing activity is no more important. Next you will have to reduce your use of air conditioning, reduce the use of your vehicles. I have noticed that even if you have to buy some groceries in your neighborhood you take you two wheeler, can’t you walk?? You have become so lazy.

Human Being: Is that all?

Tree: Now comes that most important. I’m starving. I haven’t been fed for years.

Human Being: You need food? Don’t you get it from the soil?

Tree: Exactly my friend, but you have built a concrete jungle and cut off a lot of city greenery and the soil does not contain any nutrition and you too are not compensating for the loss of nutrition. You need to feed us and replenish for the loss of food.

Human Being: How should we human beings replenish your food and provide nutrition?

Tree: In the forest, ripe fruits and leaves fall on to the ground, and create manure and we get the required nourishment. Now you “smart” people consider the leaves as garbage and sweep them away and just water the ground near the trees and expect us to provide fresh oxygen. That’s not going to happen. Imagine a situation where you are living only on water. How long do you expect the live like that? You will have to feed us. It’s simple, all the natural waste generated in your homes is our food. Let me explain in simple terms. When you eat a banana and throw the peel in the dustbin, you are throwing away our food. In the dustbin, it will rot and stink, but if you bring it down and keep it near us it will convert into manure and we will get our required nourishment. All the peels of fruits and vegetable should be simply scattered around us and if your gardener is a little helpful and digs around he shuffle the ground and all these peels will mix up well and we’ll never be malnourished. Can you imagine the amount of garbage you will save and food you will provide us and we will be able to give you fresh air and you will not suffer.

Human Being: We just throw all those peels into the garbage bin and they are collected by garbage trucks and just cause huge stinking dumping grounds. If we simply scattered them around the trees we would save ourselves by feeding you. I will spread this message to everyone and hope all will contribute towards reducing the use of air conditioners, vehicles and other pollution causing practice. I will also scatter all the natural waste on the ground so that some manure is created as food for the trees in our neighborhood. Thank you very much for this knowledge and I assure you of my commitment to help build a better environment.

Essay - REPUBLIC DAY

REPUBLIC DAY

India won its independence from the British rule on August 15, 1947 and became an independent country. The Indian Constitution, however, came into effect only on January 26, 1950 and since then this day has been celebrated as Republic Day all over the country every year.

The Republic Day celebrations are held on a grand scale in New Delhi, India’s capital city. Crowds in great numbers attend the flag hoisting ceremony led by the President of India. This is followed by an impressive march past by the armed forces.

Following the march past, there is a procession of floats carrying singing and dancing troupes from different states. Many floats show different aspects and stages of social, cultural and industrial progress achieved in the states, cities and towns of India. Similar Republic Day celebrations are held in capital cities of states with great colour and joy.

In our school we celebrate Republic Day with traditional ceremonies, including unfurling of the Indian tricolour, dance performances of various states by the students, a motivational message by the Principal, decorating our classrooms with national colours and the students are encouraged to wear traditional clothes to give a communal flavour to the whole atmosphere.

The Republic Day is the day we vowed to preserve and safeguard the freedom and integrity of our country at all costs. We took an oath to strive for the welfare, peace and prosperity of our beloved motherland.

Write the Right Words

Write the RIGHT WORDS
Vaishali Tanwar
 

HERE IS A LOOK AT THE STRATEGIES THAT ONE CAN USE TO ENSURE THAT THE BUSINESS MAILS THEY ARE SENDING ARE CLEAR,EFFECTIVE, AND SUCCESSFUL

E-mails are ubiquitous.
There is no surprise that a large percentage of these mails are business mails. An effective mail can make your impression really strong, but a poorly-written mail leaves an equally poor impression at work.

The art of writing e-mails is hardly discussed, but emails are one of the most crucial part of any business.So, here is how you can write an effective business mail.

MAKE YOUR PURPOSE CLEAR
The purpose of your e-mail must be easily identified. Business e-mails should be crisp and should be able to convey the message effectively. “By reading the mail, the receiver should understand the purpose of the e-mail, whether it is for a decision or simply for an information. Bullet points highlighting the conversation are considered most effective,“ suggests Deepak Shetty, senior director HR, Philips Innovation Campus, Bengaluru. Vipul Singh, vice president and head of HR, ADP Private Limited gives an interesting mantra for business mails, “The KISS rule applies to e-mails. Keep it short, simple and straight to the point.“ One should keep the objective of the email in mind as it will help n writing clear and concise e-mails. “Trying to use big words and corporate jargons s a baggage that professionals carry, which should be avoided to make a lasting impact,“ further adds Rajita Singh, head HR, Broadridge Financial Solutions.

TECHNICALITIES
CC with moderation
Emails should be addressed to only those who need to read it, as it seems to be a practice these days to mark a large number of people in copy. The result is that the mail goes into spam. As per the experts, recipients marked on the mail should be chosen as needed and categorised appropriately under 'To', 'CC' and 'BCC'.

Salutations
Salutation is where the most goof-ups happen. The most commonly used accepted salutation is Mr / Ms. In certain circumstances, sir / madam is also accepted f the recipient is very senior in age or holds an important position. 'Hi' and 'dear' are largely used as a prefix.

Subject line
In addition to the body of the mail, it is very important that the subject line of the mail is of the reader's interest for him to read through.

CHECK THE TONE
Since a majority of these mails may be written internally amongst the employees of the same organisation, the language and tone of the e-mails will surely reflect on interpersonal relationships within the organisations.When we meet people faceto-face, we use the other person's body language, vocal tone, and facial expressions to assess how they feel. E-mail robs us of this information, and this means that we have to be extra cautious with what we write and how it will be perceived.

PROOF READ
Finally, before you hit 'send', take a moment to review your email for spelling, grammar, and punctuation mistakes.Initially, little practice may be required while writing critical e-mails, especially when one is writing to someone senior in the organisation. Framing a skeleton or the rough flow of the email in your mind before actually writing the email will help set the context right. Editing the emails thoroughly is necessary to make the emails effective. “No one would like an e-mail filled with grammatical and typographic errors. Hence, in spite of applying spell check and other autocorrect options, one should thoroughly review and edit the email before sending,“ concludes Singh.

Essay - The Importance of Newspapers


THE IMPORTANCE OF NEWSPAPERS
 
How would a day go if there was no newspaper dropped at the doorstep one morning? To many it would be as if the day would have never begun and the most important activity of the day would have been left incomplete. To most adults, a cup of tea and the morning paper are the perfect combination to kick start the day and the tea will lose some of its flavour if there was no newspaper to go along with it.
 
The rapid spread of education all over the globe has created a huge reading community who eagerly wait for the morning newspaper. The daily newspaper has become an integral part of our lives and most of us can’t begin our day or live without it.
 
The newspaper is considered as a “Textbook of Life.” It gives us information about recent happenings and events in and around the city and country. It also provides us with a whole lot of other features, which we have grown used to by reading the newspaper.
 
The newspaper has enormous power in shaping the opinion of the public and influencing our lives and instilling values. A newspaper should be clean, truthful, free and fearless and can do enormous good by helping people to think rightly and impartially on important social and political issues.
 
In recent times, the TV and different social media platforms have added to the media, which has made news available 24 hours live as it happens. People can watch various incidents and events live and in the case of calamities, aid can be available at a moment's notice. However, the same news in the newspaper is more detailed and can provide more information. Newspapers provide more special features, such as editorials, sports, business pages and classifieds advertisements. All these features make the newspaper a very valuable friend.
 
Many newspapers also provide supplements that are entirely devoted to local news and articles of general interest. These additions provide delightful reading, without these sections the newspaper seems very incomplete.
 
Reading newspapers also helps to improve an individual's language and vocabulary. This is a very important aspect of an newspaper, besides being a source of information and entertainment. The newspaper gives us something to think about and relieves us of a lot of stress of our routine and monotonous lives.
 
The newspaper is therefore, a very important part of our lives and something we can never do without on a daily basis.
