Decide your Happiness Level

We all dream, but only few of us really meet their dreams. All we want in life is SUCCESS, and why not. We have got lot of working hard ability in us. We have got so much potential in us.

The first thing we do for getting success is dream. By dream, I do not want to differentiate between the realistic and the unrealistic dream as that we will be taking later in our blog as a separate post.

We set our targets, our goals; and start working towards them. As every one of us is different, so are our targets and goals. A poor farmer might set his target to have enough money and food to take care of his family and their wishes. A small businessman may want to turn himself into Business Tycoon. An entry level working professional may want to become the CEO of a company. That is how it is, and that is how it is going to be.

But do we really take the word “Success” as same? Let us define the targets and goals which we want to achieve as Happiness Level. So we all have different Happiness Levels. When we attain that Happiness Level, we call it the achievement of the success. But there can rarely be only one Happiness Level in one life. As soon as we achieve the existing Happiness Level, the current level gets shifted to the next Happiness Level. There are those who have one Happiness Level, and even after achieving only that level in their life they continue to be happy. Not forgetting the third category, there are those who do not achieve their Happiness Levels; reason may be anything.

Life is all about being happy. Success can never be pre-defined. Some are happy after having everything, some are happy after having something, and some are happy even after having nothing. Decide your Happiness Level, and work to achieve it.

That's Individualism

We all want to make our own individuality, right? It is just because of that we want to become perfect opportunists. The race to perfection is never realized, and we ultimately find ourselves among mean-people who are all alone. At that point, we realize the importance of being with our near and dear ones.

The thirst of success makes us to kick others and climb the S-ladder. Even if we can see the opportunity of the success of two people together, we try to kick him. When we sit and think about the reasons behind doing these things, we just feel that we did it as others are doing the same.

I think that we have done it enough. We should always try to take others with us to success. There are many who need our help in climbing the ladder. Do not climb without taking anyone with you; else you will be dying with your unknown individuality.

If you have made it like this, that's what real individualism is.

Copying the success

When is the last time you initiated to achieve something? Most of the things which we try to achieve are already being done by some other person. I am not discussing here the question of good or bad here. It takes a lot of time for many of us to know our real self. Many a times it do happens that by looking at the success of a person we realize that even we have to do the same work.

We always think that others are better than us because they have achieved a lot in a very short time. We always live in such worries. We spend too much of time thinking about their lifestyles and success, forgetting that everything starts by working on self. There is nothing in simple copy paste, but if you really want to do what others have already done, do it with variations and accepting all the changes for improvement. When you see others doing something, just try to identify yourself and start doing something rather than taking worries.

Invisible HR

Great HR is invisible, but it is everywhere. HR is where the business operates, innovates a new product, or in service and growth of the company. Great HR is invisible because Great HR people like it that way.

Have you ever heard of any company who had come up with its HR? I guess, not many. And you know, why? Because, business is not about HR but HR is about business. HR people know very well their reason for existence. They are behind the success of every manager and employee. They are behind every emerging leader. They are behind every clap of the stakeholders for the company. They are behind every single price increase of the share.

HR is performing backstage. They are getting the right people, training them, appraising their performance, rewarding them, and helping company to find talent to win. But when all these things happens, HR people do not get any credit for anything they do. So, if you want to be center stage, stay out of HR. They are the people who enjoy when others enjoy.

Don’t Say It Unless You Mean It

It is very common these days that people are telling something and doing something else. I have a small suggestion for all the organisations, who are bragging a lot.

* Don’t say pay-for-performance if you really use the Peanutbutter Process.
* Don’t say teamwork and then allow gossip and backstabbing.
* Don’t say transparency and then only communicate to selected managers.
* Don’t say learning environment and confuse it with a few crappy training classes.
* Don’t say employee engagement when you really want compliance....
