GMCS Day 10
“Good things happen at regular intervals”, and it happened
today again. Every morning when we wake up, let’s thank the almighty for
welcoming the day without any regrets. We should remember that fate is nothing
but what we make out of our life. Few lines comes to my mind when I hear the
word fate “Apne haathon ki lakeeron ko kya dekhte ho, naseeb to unke bhi hote hai
jinke naseeb mein haath nahi hote” So let’s get to work and give our
best, this is how we can convey our thanks to the almighty. When you start the
day with such enthusiasm and when I initiate the article with a splendid opening,
it is possible only when you have that positive aura around and yes folks,
today it was “OUR” CA… (Charu Ahuja) Mam‘s session.
Session was on Time and Stress management, but we knew when
such a faculty is around, neither we know how the time passes nor are we
stressed. Stress is when the gap arises between expectations and resources and
the irony is that in today’s rat race it is considered crucial for survival.
Mirror doesn’t reflect what lies within but we in our daily life act as a
mirror and we reciprocate the situation in the manner we “ASSUME” it to be. So
be at ease at yourself and never forget that every person imparts a lesson.
It’s up to us how we grasp it.
Life is a movie and we have the option of choosing the
characters. So it depends on us whether we choose (Anger, Hatred, Negativity
etc) OR (Bliss, Happiness, Positivity etc), after all we need to have the Happy
Ending to our film, so choose wisely because people have the tendency to
remember blockbusters not the flops.
What happens when your vehicle is over run? It requires
maintenance, to work smoothly. Our mind is also a vehicle exception being that
it needs maintenance every morning to avoid starting problem as it keeps on
working 24 * 7, so we need to service it every morning with affirmations
(Positive statements). We need to accept the fact that “Mind is a good slave
but a bad master” and these affirmations acts as an antivirus to keep away the
villainous characters in our movie.
We all want to take care of our parents at home as they are
the people who are there for us always. But have you ever wondered to give
attention to your body’s parents which lies within? Yes it’s your conscious,
spare a few minutes by meditating or exercising as, like our parents they also
want us to be prepared to face adverse situations. Anticipate word exists in
the dictionary, only because there exists a word uncertainty.
To quote words of Dr Ikeda conveyed by our faculty, “At
work, do the work of 3 people”. Not only it will broaden your experience but it
will make you explore new avenues and transform it into ventures. Inventions
are there, as long as seed of idea thrives in us. Ever wondered why reality
shows are so interesting because they are simply based on the individual’s
myriad thoughts. It’s the thoughts which come first and reality later, so take
charge of your thoughts and let the day be run by you and not the other way
round.
Time management is effective when you treat every second in
a day as a jewel. Prioritize and do the important things first. “Define the
mission and goals in your life and begin with the end in mind”, because to be
at any end we need to start somewhere. Progress makes us happy and is the sole
reason for being alive. We were showed video clippings of eminent motivators
and leaders giving the crux that even if you suffer you could be an inspiration
for others. Practice to forgive and forget, change is continuous. Remember
“This too shall pass”. Leadership is not only leading from the front but marching
ahead with the team with an element of conviction, flexibility, commitment and
a “GRAND PLAN”.
Personal diary, note books and smart phones all are equipped
with planners but how many of us make use of it? If everybody was so planned,
management word would not have originated. “Plan for the future and tomorrow
will be ours”, we should critically analyze our activities and eliminate
unproductive ones. Categorize every activity on the parameter of importance and
finish it before taking up another activity. Remember “People fail to plan, not
plan to fail”.
We felt etiquettes as our relatives for past some days as
they sprang anytime. Today it was the turn of our close relatives (Telephone
& Email). We seldom give importance to the way we communicate on spectrum
medium. Vocal chords and our mind have the immense power to leave a lasting
impression on the recipient. So garnish your communication with gratitude,
sprinkle a bit of elegance and serve it slowly.
The day was fast approaching to an end and to bring us back
to the alertness level, we played a game to end on a chirpy note. Everybody
commands appreciation and it was reciprocated back to us by our faculty with
thoughtful words embossed on breathtaking pictures with a lively music in the
background.
We were done with the day and before leaving, our faculty
rekindled the fire within everyone in some or the other way. Our heartfelt
thanks to our faculty for such an experience and we assure our faculty that
this fire within us will one day transform us into torch bearers…
“MAKTUB”
(One writes their own destiny and these amazing faculties
are the people who meet us along our path to make us realize our purpose in
life)
