If something is stopping, it’s you, yourself. To quote Eleanor
Roosevelt “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent” this held
true today when we entered into the class. How do we feel when we are served
with enthusiasm, motivation, elegance and receptiveness on a platter? Well this
is how our faculty for the day was…Amazed isn’t it? Faculty for the day was
Mrs. CA, oh come on folks she is not a Chartered Accountant her name is (Charu
Ahuja). This is what preconditioning of mind means and believe us it plays a
major deterrent to our personality and overall development of ourselves.
Breaking the monotony of seating ourselves in rows and
making us sit, like in a ballroom meeting, was a first step to breaking the
preconditioned mindset of a classroom atmosphere. It clearly sent out a message
that group has its own essence and the group improves as a whole when we advance
individually. Faculty reiterated the fact that attaining degree is not an end
in itself which would guarantee a better future but unless we streamline where
we would want to be, a list of degrees to our credit won’t make much of a
difference. The bottom line of the discussion was “Self Introspection”.
Body language was given a different dimension by not only
dwelling on behavioral aspect but also understanding scientific reasons. “Body
language speaks much even with absence of vocal chords”. The art of introducing
ourselves is the not only about equating our first impression with last
impression but to leave a lasting impression. Working on one’s SWOT is a
multifaceted process which paves way for improvement, as “It’s our lives and
only we can improve and work on it”.
Trivial improvements on a regular basis are the stepping
stones in crafting a successful soul. “It’s better to keep on moving than
standing still”. Like water boils at 100 degrees and freezes at 0 degrees, it’s
that “ONE” moment which changes/breaks our mould of imperfection. This was
clearly brought out by the event which transformed our faculty’s life forever.
Remember folks “Limitation exists only in our minds”
“Books let us into their souls and lay open to us the
secrets of our own”, we were made to digest this fact in successive classes,
that books are an indispensable part of our learning process and we must
inculcate in ourselves this amazing habit and every good habit requires 21 days
of successive implementation. We were provided with a list of must read books
as a wise man had quoted “Readers are Leaders”.
We all earn for our bread & butter and seldom have we
given importance to the most important source of survival, the dining etiquette. A professional lives like a professional round the clock and dining
is no exception. We were shown the nuances of fine dining and were assured that
fine dining is an integral part of extended realm of our successful life
waiting ahead.
When we were done with the day, all we could analyze was “Improvement
begins in the mind showcased by your speech and is being conveyed by your body
language. “. And what our faculty performed on us was the process of “CA”. No
folks it again not Chartered Accountancy but what I would gauge is “Competitive
Autopsy”…
With a wide smile on her face she indeed has widened our
thoughts…
