The Professional

In Anjappar, when Animal Planet is ripped to bones, Abdul started the topic about the book he read recently. It is High Performance Entrepreneur by Subroto Bagchi. Inspired by the content, I thought of reading it. Next day, I was talking to big brother and said about this book. He told me that there are three books written by Bagchi and The Professional is very good and it defines who is a professional.
 
The Professional. From my adult hood, I was attracted by this word. I donno may be this is due to the movies I have seen. Where the marksmen do the job neatly and the investigator’s next dialogue will be “It’s done by a professional”. So immediately I have ordered the book and now reading it.
 
It’s a good book and defines the qualities of a professional. I have few qualities and now I want to fill the gap. I hope soon I’ll be a professional :)

How to handle dominating people?

It happens in every man’s life. When the people are in upper hand, they used to slam the people who work under them in bad words. The workers or less privileged people have to bear with that. What we need to do if we are in such situation? I came to know the following story. After that I never worried about the dominating people.

Here is the story (remember that I am not good at story telling and excuse grammatical errs),

One day Buddha and his sishya went to a house and begged for food. The lady from the house came and bashed with words like you guys are lethargic, why don’t you guys work and earn money. Buddha was not disturbed by those words. He smiled. But his sishya got angry, he asked his master to allow him to bash that lady. Buddha dint say anything. He just gave his kamandalam to the sishya and left from that place.

That day night when Buddha and his sishya were discussing, the sishya asked his master that why he didn’t allow him to bash that lady. Then Buddha asked him where the kamandalam is? The sishya brought it. Then Buddha asked who owns this kamandalam? The sishya said that it’s yours master. But Buddha said that he already gave this to him on morning, so it is his. The sishya said that you gave it to me, but I didn’t accept it. So it is yours only master. Now Buddha explained that when someone is bashing you with bad words, don’t be angry. If you accept it, then it belongs to you. Otherwise it belongs to them only.

True. The story nicely explains how we need to stand against such situations. So guys how do you feel?

When life becomes interesting?

Its been a long time I blogged. I was busy with work and in mean time kept myself busy with Chess and movies. Mostly the time was spent in Chesscube. In a couple of months I played 4300 games in Chesscube. Frequently played 10sec+1 games. Then in rest of the time watched the movies in categorized manner like heist movies, western sphagetti movies etc. So I didnt get bored in the life. My colleague RMN used say that am enjoying the bachelor life too much and get married soon.

Ok. Thats the story why I didnt blog for a while. Coming to the point, when life becomes interesting? Based on perspectives, we can have hell lot of answers for this. I am going to tell one.

It occurred to me, when my big brother told me that, I am not good at people handling, so you should move towards technically. I realized that every human in this world is different and they have unique characteristics. Everyday we'll be interacting with lot of people, they'll have unique attitude and characteristics. The beauty of life is how we handle those people. So life becomes interesting when we got to know the pattern of the people and guessing what they'll do next.

Here are some interesting characteristics,
  • short tempered
  • speaking unnecessary content
  • always late. no time conscious
Like this we can list millions of characteristics. But based on them we can form a pattern and we can guess what they'll do next. This concept is not new. But try it. Life becomes interesting :)
