In my little way...

How does it feel in a day of your life you are helping other people? Feels great right? Even after all you will get a “thank you”, the feeling is hard to explain. I was crossing the street this morning and I saw a grandma waiting for her chance to cross the street too. I am embarrassed to those inconsiderate drivers who can’t even stop for a while to let the woman cross the street. She is holding her walking stick standing and those people who are crossing don’t even really care.

I stand beside her, hold her hand and help her cross the street. It feels great that I saw a smile on her face after that. When you get old like her, does it feels great to know that younger people value and respect you? Why some people can’t think of helping other as simple as that? Yes I am proud of myself that in my little way of helping the woman, my day was in good start and worthy. I feel ashamed to those numb people who ignore simple things like that.

Why most businessmen become successful?

Being in a business is easy when you know how to manipulate your resources especially your money. In short, you know how your money works and how the business should work. If you are a businessman, you have to know time management, people management and giving value to the customers.

Time management, no seconds should be wasted when it comes to business. If you really want your business up and running all the time, you should find a way how to enable “business continuity”. I am not a businessman but somehow able to analyze some factors that can affect the business.

People Management, if you are in a big business, you should know how to treat your people accordingly. How will they work and give value to your business if you can’t treat them right and not giving them the right compensation according to their responsibility. Giving a reward to them or letting them feel that they are being recognized will help in motivating the people.

Value Customers, this is the important thing to consider when in business. Without customers, your business will be nothing. You won’t be able to be successful in the business if you don’t have any customers. You should know what your customer needs before you run the business.

In order to be successful in the business, you should love your business. Love what you are doing and everything else will follow…

Do you love your job or you have to love your job?

What is the main reason why we go to office every day? One
main reason is to earn money. We perform and excel to be rewarded, get bonus
and earn additional income.

Being a part of a company is also being a part of the
business. If don’t work, what will you get? We are making money too for the
business. Everyone has its value and make sure when you go to the office, you
have created a value before you go home.

But what if one day the company encountered economic crisis and have to lessen workers and can’t
pay the workers anymore, do you still love your job? No, right?

We have to love our job when it gives us something in return. We won’t love our job if we’ll work hard for nothing. It makes no sense to work for nothing. To get some good amount, you have to love what you do.

Valentines Week

After how many years of celebrating Valentine’s Day, just now I came to know that there is a “Valentines Week” The celebration starts from Feb 7 -14^th.

Feb 7: Rose day
Feb 8: Propose day
Feb 9: Chocolate day
Feb 10: Teddy Day
Feb 11: Promise Day
Feb 12: Hug Day
Feb 13: Kiss Day
Feb 14: Valentine Day

The elements used to celebrate the valentine’s week are the things that you always see during the season of hearts. Everywhere you can see bouquets special roses, chocolates and teddy bears! Some people made their proposal, promises to their love ones during this season. Hugs and Kisses won’t be forgotten! Showing affection to their love ones through hugs and kisses is the most common way to express love!

Piece of a cake on Monday morning.

Early Monday morning. I came to work on time. I opened one of my Social Networking account and got this piece of cake from a Fortune Cookie Application saying “A secret admirer will soon send you a sign of affection” Wow! Really?! Who would that be? Or maybe because Valentines Day is coming that is why it sends something to look forward to on heart’s day!

There is nothing bad believing those thoughts as long as you won’t let your life ruled by it. It’s just something that can make you feel “it made your day” and happy. Being happy with it doesn’t mean you are really expecting an admirer to give you something or expecting much as what your fortune cookie says. If it’s true then it’s nice but if not, it’s fine too J

It’s just a way of life spicing your day instead of focusing something that won’t help you made your day.

Start your day with a smile!
