Clean India Green India -2020

Cleanness gives you more Margins

“Even after 68 years of independence, more than 80 per cent of the sewage does not get treated and one-third of the industrial pollution goes into water bodies. There are many impediments in making India clean.

“This year, we have done three things – more sewage treatment plants and new technology, new rules of waste management – solid waste, e-waste, plastic waste, hazardous waste, bio-medical waste, E-waste and construction waste. All rules have been changed and new technology has been brought in and the base has been widened. These are the real efforts to make India clean.
Terming Independence Day to be a very important occasion, “Today, we have achieved some part of the dream, but much of it is yet to be redeemed.”

“Our mission is Clean India, Green India 2020” 

Just convey only 20 persons (relatives, Friends, Neighbour and students) to make Clean India- Green India-2020.

Government efforts made to make India clean include many river cleaning schemes, more plantation and more afforestation.

Referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s speech where they talked about people’s participation, ‘Jan Bhagidari’ is the basic foundation for Clean India-Green India.

There can be no better combination than that of ‘students, youth start to love the nature and environment.

As in government notification no-Smoking and chewing the Pan Masala in Office time buy we are not loving our country society for the cleanness.

Ways to be a Better Manager

Being a manager is tough. You’re constantly in meetings, putting out fires, and dealing with people and projects competing for your attention.  As you become more reactive to these things, it becomes harder to do the things you know you should do.

Often, it’s small, meaningful gestures that have the greatest impact. Think about how much more you appreciated the small, thoughtful gift as opposed to a check, or how a hand written thank you note made you feel.

As a manager, you have the opportunity every day to make your team members have those feelings.  In the time it takes you to read this post, you can bring joy to and inspire your team. I hope you’ll try at least one of them today and see what kind of reaction you get. If you have a good story, share it in the comments!

Learn the names of the most important people in their lives

One famous quote, “No man is an island.”  Your employees are not islands, either. They have connections outside work that make them uniquely who they are. Taking the time to know them by name to ask about them from time to time or to greet them by name if they are visiting the office will score you major points.

When you learn the names of those people that matter most to them, you show you care about them as a complete person. This builds rapport that will help you with difficult discussions with them and make them trust you more as their manager, especially if they’re having a personal issue affecting their work.

Always make your one on ones actionable

It’s good to talk about issues and what’s on your team member’s mind in one on ones, but that alone does not accomplish much. Every one on one should be actionable.

Take what’s discussed and identify what both of you can do to make progress on the issues. Maybe it’s buying them a good book on a subject they want to learn about. Or it could be giving them advice on how to handle a situation and having them try it and report back the results next time. Whatever it is, setting action items and discussing what the results were next time creates a very gratifying feeling of progress by small wins that engages and motivates team members.

Do one thing to help them achieve their long term goals

When the work that you’re doing is aligned with your long term goals and what you want to achieve, you are most motivated and excited.  It’s easy to get bogged down in day to day duties and lose sight of that progress. Don’t think that just because someone’s goals aren’t aligned with their work that you as their manager cannot help them.

Often times, employees want to learn about new areas of the business, or add a new skill that would open up new career opportunities. This is where you have a chance to shine. Give them even a little bit of help achieving those goals outside their day to day work and watch their excitement and commitment grow.

I once had a team member doing business development and sales, but she really wanted to get into product management. We didn’t have any projects for her in that area and really needed her help in BD. So instead, I spent 1 hour a month talking to her about anything she wanted to know about product management and occasionally bought her good books on product management. Her productivity and passion for her BD work skyrocketed despite only a modest time and financial investment in her passion for product management.

Praise is fuel for the engine of great work by your team. Give them specific praise on something they did well and you will see more of it. Fail to recognize their efforts and they will diminish with each cycle of work.

Research reported at the Review showed that the highest performing teams had a ratio of nearly 6 positive comments to every 1 negative one:

If you want to see more great work from people and better attitudes, praise is the key. Consistently giving the praise ensures your ratio relative to criticism stays high.

6 steps on building a startup and being a successful entrepreneur.

Despite the rush in every academic institution to offer more courses on entrepreneurship, I still haven’t found it to be something you can learn in school. Of course, you can pick up the basic principles this way, but the problem is that the practical rules for success are changing so fast that no academic can keep up. The best thing you can learn in school is how to learn.

The successful entrepreneurs I have met and worked with over the years all seem to share that passion for learning, and they see rapid market change not as a problem, but as an opportunity for them to move ahead of the crowd in changing the world. Making big money is usually the last thing on their mind, and most are happy living on Ramen noodles in a sparse apartment.

From a practical standpoint, there are many ways to learn about business change, and the opportunities that may spring up at any moment. Here are six steps that every aspiring entrepreneur should take full advantage of:

1. Communicate with peers who have “been there and done that.”

The common term for this is networking, but I find that many aspiring entrepreneurs like to do all the talking about their latest new idea and fail to listen. You don’t learn anything while talking. Successful entrepreneurs love to share, but they respond better to pull rather than push.

2. Research current success stories and role models.

The Internet is better than the Library of Congress or any university, since it changes daily to keep up with reality and is interactive. Reserve some time each day for your favorite blogs and influencers, follow up with social networking and expand your personal contacts offline.

3. Find a business mentor, as well as a friend.

A mentor is someone who will tell you what you need to hear, while a friend might tell you what you want to hear. Actually, you need both, and the ability to tell the difference. I find that all entrepreneurs benefit from bouncing their ideas off someone else, and unique perspectives can add real value.
4. Don’t skip new “learning how to learn opportunities.”

These include the classes in school that focus on case studies and team exercises, but extend beyond the academic world to professional and industry seminars. Focus on the opportunities that match your needs for today, since you never know too far ahead what you need to know next.

5. Volunteer to help organizations related to your interest.

There is no better way to broaden your perspective and understand realities than to work in an environment where motivations are positive. You can get real leadership experience and real learning without long-term commitments and financial pressures.

6. Start your own small business.

The cost of entry for an entrepreneur is at an all-time low, with very low incorporation fees in most states, website creation tools for free and the ability to create and offer smartphone apps for a few thousand dollars. Learn from the challenges of a startup with a low-risk idea before you bet it all on the big dream.

I fully recognize that self-initiated learning is not for everyone. If you are one of those people who likes structured classes and counts on spending a couple of week in the classroom every year to catch up, I don’t recommend the entrepreneur and startup lifestyle. Starting a new and innovative business is not a highly structured process, and finding time for structured learning is unlikely.

Finally, it is always helpful to check your motivation to be an entrepreneur. If you see it as the path to easy money or as an escape from an existing job or family pressures, it’s time to recognize that learning doesn’t come easily if your heart isn’t in it.

There is no substitute for doing what you love, and loving what you do. Once you learn to love learning, you too can be a successful entrepreneur.

Why Judge Someone By Their Appearance

One beautiful spring day a Pink rose blossomed in a forest. Many kinds of trees and plants grew there. As the rose looked around, a pine tree nearby said, “What a beautiful flower. I wish I was that lovely.” Another tree said, “Dear pine, do not be sad, we cannot have everything.”

The rose turned its head and remarked, “It seems that I am the most beautiful plant in this forest.” A sunflower raised its yellow head and asked, “Why do you say that? In this forest there are many beautiful plants. You are just one of them.”

The pink rose replied, “I see everyone looking at me and admiring me.” Then the rose looked at a cactus and said, “Look at that ugly plant full of thorns!” The pine tree said, “Pink  rose, what kind of talk is this? Who can say what beauty is you have thorns too.”

The proud Pink rose looked angrily at the pine and said, “I thought you had good taste! You do not know what beauty is at all. You cannot compare my thorns to that of the cactus.”

What a proud flower, thought the trees.

The rose tried to move its roots away from the cactus, but it could not move. As the days passed, the Pink rose would look at the cactus and say insulting things, like “This plant is useless. How sorry I am to be his neighbour.”

The cactus never got upset and he even tried to advise the rose, saying, “God did not create any form of life without a purpose.”

Spring passed, and the weather became very warm. Life became difficult in the forest, as the plants and animals needed water and no rain fell. The Pink rose began to wilt. One day the rose saw sparrows stick their beaks into the cactus and then fly away, refreshed.

This was puzzling, and the Pink rose asked the pine tree what the birds were doing. The pine tree explained that “the birds got water from the cactus.” “Does it not hurt when they make holes?” asked the rose.

“Yes, but the cactus does not like to see any birds suffer,” replied the pine.

The rose opened its eyes in wonder and said, “The cactus has water.” “Yes you can also drink from it. The sparrow can bring water to you if you ask the cactus for help.”

The Pink rose felt too ashamed of its past words and behaviour to ask for water from the cactus, but then it finally did ask the cactus for help. The cactus kindly agreed and the birds filled their beaks with water and watered the rose’s roots.

Thus the rose learned a lesson and never judged anyone by their appearance again.

Two small stories for turn your weaknesses into Strengths

First : 11- year-old boy who decided to study judo despite the fact that he had lost his left arm in a devastating an accident.  The boy began lessons with an old judo master. The boy was doing well, so he couldn’t understand why, after three months of training, the master had taught him only one judo move. “Sensei,” the boy finally said, “Shouldn’t I be learning more moves?”

“This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you’ll ever need to know,” the Sensei replied. Not quite understanding, but believing in his teacher, the boy kept training. Several months later, the Sensei took the boy to his first tournament. Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his opponent became impatient and charged; the boy deftly used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the finals.

This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, and more experienced. For a while, the boy appeared to be overmatched. Concerned that the boy might get hurt, the referee called a time-out. He was about to stop the match when the Sensei intervened. “No,” the Sensei insisted, “Let him continue.” Soon after the match resumed, his opponent made a critical mistake: he dropped his guard. Instantly, the boy used his move to pin him. The boy had won the match and the tournament. He was the champion.

On the way home, the boy and Sensei reviewed every move in each and every match. Then the boy summoned the courage to ask what was really on his mind. “Sensei, how did I win the tournament with only one move?” “You won for two reasons,” the Sensei answered. “First, you’ve almost mastered one of the most difficult throws in all of judo. And second, the only known defence for that move is for your opponent to grab your left arm.”

Now greatest weakness had become his greatest strength.

Second  : Two people were seriously ill. They admitted in the same room in the hospital. One of them was lying in the bed near the only window in their room. Every day he was allowed to spend some time sitting up in his bed to help draining the fluid from lungs. The other person was forced to spend all his days flat on his back.

Both talked a lot about their life, families, jokes, jobs, vacations. Every time, when the first man was sitting by the window, he described in details all that he saw outside the window. His roommate always looked for those moments, when his world was broadened and brightened up by the world outside.

Amazing views of a park with a beautiful lake could be seen from the window of their room. Children delightfully played among ducks and swans. Couples walked arm in arm among colourful flowers. Also the stunning city skyline could be seen. When the man by the window had been thoroughly describing all that was happening outside the window, his roommate would close his eyes and imaged all the beautiful scenes of life that were told to him.

One night the man, whose bed was near the window, died peacefully during sleep and his roommate was very sad. After some time, when the nurse came to visit him, he asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse agreed and kindly made the switch. When she left, the man slowly and painfully propped himself up on one elbow and took the first look at the world outside. He was stunned. The window faced a blank wall.

When the nurse came to visit him the next time, he told her about beautiful things outside the window that his roommate described him. The nurse replied that his roommate was a blind man. She said:  “Probably he just tried to encourage you”
