Overcome False Fear and Subjective Failure

False fear can spoil your life. Many fears are false or subjective. A man ride his vehicle. He meets an accident. Luckily he survived with small wounds. Next day while driving he gets fear as he may meet accident again. Because of the fear he stops driving. Whenever he try to drive, he gets the driving phobia. This is false fear, it prevents the joy of driving. He has to overcome the false fear, drive normally.

Some time if you see some other getting accident, you may develop a phobia as you too may get accident. This is also a false fear, must be overcome.

Do not get stuck by your failure or fear. Many people quit or give up their study, research, entrepreneurship, and career advancement because of some subjective failure. If you fail in your current project, which is not a verdict as you will fail in rest of the projects.

When I was promoted to Manager, I did well. I received whole hearted support from my management. When I moved to next company, I was not able to perform well as Manager. Due to various office politics, I struggled to be a Manager. Then I started to convince myself as I am not capable of Leading people, I should work as subordinate only, Manager job is a tough, etc. It was a conclusion because of the recent ‘subjective failure’. I forget my past success.

This is actually a false fear. Even there are failures here and there, I have to keep maintaining my position and keep trying to advance it, rather than confining myself within a boundary, due to fear of struggles. Those who are leading, are never stuck by their failure in leading people.

Many executives when promoted to lead people, they may fail to command their sub-ordinates and not having proper chemistry with their superiors. So they may be considered as they are not capable leaders. Even, they may start to convince themselves as they are not. This is a wrong conclusion.

Under a positive situation or different scenario they will perform well. They should not convince themselves as suitable for junior position. They have to keep strive for better position even they are made to fail.

When people fail, they think they can not win for ever. Nothing is permanent. Many failures are subjective. People with lack of awareness believe that failure is permanent. They lead a failure life, even though they are capable of winning.

Identify such false fears. Kill it at the root. Live happily and bravely. This life, human mind, and body are beyond scientific measurements. They can perform any miracle. Just believe you are worthy of how do you like to be.

You may succeed in the past, which is also not a affirmation that you will succeed for ever. So never identify your position by your success and failure. Identify yourself as How do you like to be identified. You deserve what you desire.

How to increase Programmers Productivity

To Programmer

Keep yourself energetic and relaxed. More you are relaxed and energetic you will have more productivity.

Do not check your email while working. If you are in bench or without any work, check your personal email, otherwise do not check it. The amount of strain and energy to read emails are more than what you think. Above all, the diversion from the work is very high. It will dilute your concentration in your office work.

Another important thing is never never use mobile phone while working. You are diverted from your work immediately. Continues use of mobile phone and checking personal email at work place gradually reduce your productivity in long run.

Stop working when you feel tired either mentally or physically. Have a small break as change then continue the work. It is good to take rest before you get tired.

If there is emergency, you can work extra time for one or two days, but never work over time often, which eventually reduce your productivity.

Take leave at proper intervals. Every three to four months take one week leave. Every year once have one month vacation if possible.

Sleep minimum of six to eight hours a day. You must have such life style and work style to have sufficient sleep.

Never engage in any part time or additional work unless your salary is very low. Programming is brain work. One mind one concentration yields better results.

When you do not have any work, please switch off your monitor and speak with your colleagues or listen to some music or get up from your seat and look around. Keep on starring the monitor and browsing the dirty web pages will waste your energy.

Every one or two hour wash your face, hands and legs.

To Management
Try to keep a working environment which is free from fear and relationship stress as possible you can.

If any programmer who is in project for more than three months to six months, give them one week forced leave. Change and rest will re-charge them.
Continues usage will result in low productivity.

If you find any good programmer, preserve him/her like anything. They are like missile hitting the target precisely. You do not know, how much stress and tension you will have when you are dealing with low quality fake programmers.

So if a programmer is not giving any work related tension to you, try to make him/her feel comfort in the office.

If possible give leave to programmers in bench. Empty mind is devil’s factory. Programmer in bench make dirty surfing and dirty mega downloads. They actually increase traffic and higher bandwidth, Which indirectly slow down the work of programming and project.

Reduce Belly

Having big belly is not because of eating too much or not doing exercise. We can reduce belly even without doing exercise and diet control. Belly is coming out of wrong life style and wrong diet timings.

Here is how we can reduce belly without physical work out.

Eat Early in the Morning
Have your breakfast before 7:30AM in the morning. If you delay or do not have breakfast in the morning, the HCL acid starts secreting in the stomach. It starts interacting with the bowls and release gas. This gas fills your belly and blow it little bit. Eating early in the morning avoids gastric stimulated blown belly.

Observe your environment, those who used to complete breakfast early in the morning may not have belly. Well if you are not able to see any body who wakes up before 7:30AM…OOPs.

Eat in Little Quantity
Eat in little quantity in more intervals than stuffing too much at a time. This also increase the size of the bowl and eating more becomes the habit, we do not have the feeling as bowl filled. We increase its size by eating more at a time. Not eating more keeps the bowl size normal.

Eat Early in the Evening
Finish your dinner before 7:30PM in the evening. Go to bed by 10PM exactly. So before you go to sleep the food stuff in your stomach would be almost digested.

Stop thinking too much
Thinking too much or having over brain activity syndrome may lead to increase belly. Thinking without sleeping increase acidic activity in stomach which ultimately lead to have big belly stimulated by gastric.

Sleep Sufficiently
Sleep 6 to 8 hours per day. You are not eating and thinking when you sleep, so sleep more.

You can reduce your belly if you follow the life style mentioned above. In the long run, without any physical exercise, you can reduce belly.

I have seen few people who follow the pattern in their life and their life style allows them to follow it. They do not have big belly. They have flat belly. They do not do any exercise to reduce belly or burn fat.

I write this not out of my first hand experience, this is my second hand experience.

I am not following anything mentioned above. I do not have a flat belly, having ‘little big belly’. I am not trying to reduce my belly. My life style does not allow me to follow it.

I observe that the people who follow such pattern, have no need to reduce belly.

Observer your environment as who have reduced their belly without doing any exercise and diet control. Observe their diet timings and diet pattern. The person you observe must be more than 40 years old.

Shakespeare’s literature reflects Elizabethan Society

Anyone interested in knowing the royal life style and the character traits of the Elizabethan society, you can read Shakespeare Plays.

Macbeth shows the hierarchy practiced in the kingdom. Knights were allowed to keep their own army and wealth. When a king moves, what are the living and non living accessories accompany him is visible in macbeth. When Duncan moves to Macbeth palace, it is described.

Well, the three witches. It shows the level of black magic accepted in the Elizabethan Age. Macbeth the general, having command over huge army, is highly disturbed by the oracle of witches. Either Macbeth is mentally weak to listen the witches words or it is a society where witches are treated with high reliability.

Macbeth, King Lear, Hamlet, Othello and etc. are written woven around royal characters and their life.

Shakespeare was good in defining a character of his age and makes it common for all the ages.

Well, If you study the works of Ben Jonson a contemporary of Shakespeare, you can come across the pompous of the royal people and the court. He has a satirical flavor in his writings. He writes for the masses of the Elizabethan age. Shakespeare writes for the Royal people of Elizabethan society.

Ben Jonson was more popular than Shakespeare during the Elizabethan age. He is more popular among masses. His comedy can be understood if you know the society and life style when it was written.

So as the age passes, Ben Johnson fades slowly, whereas Shakespeare stand forever because of his everlasting characters.

To be honest, works of Ben Johnson describes the Elizabethan England more than Shakespeare.

Jane Austen novels reflects Victorian age of England. The plots of her novels written woven around marriage market, the hunt for young men with estates, and plight of parents who have more daughters.

The love, romance, and marriage practices of middle and upper class life of Victorian England can be sensed through Jane Austen’s novels.

Look Back in Anger by John Osborne reflected the economic conditions prevailed in England after World War II.

There was no proper opportunity and employment for youngsters of 1950s England. In the history it was written as Allied nations defeated Axis nations in the world war II. But in true both group of countries lost their strength, prosperity in the war. If you study Look back in Anger, you can understand though England won the world war II, but defeated economically. The anger 1950 youths of England is register in the play Look back in Anger.

Today’s novels and literary work will reflect the current culture, society, economy, overall temperament of the people to the next generations.

True Financial Freedom

Can man free from money? Is financial freedom possible?

Everybody has their own views for money. Is spending less than the earning can be a way to financial freedom? Is buying lot of assets financial freedom? The bank deposit, assets and everything will vanish once you stop earning. They are not sources for freedom from money.

Is secured Job and Salary give Financial Freedom?
Don’t think your salary is consistent, because you cannot work forever. Paycheck is the rental for the time you have been utilized in a particular domain, where you are specialized.

If you spend your time to earn, you will not have time to spend. If you are not spending, you are not living. You will become machine. Machines don’t live, don’t spend but earn for others.

Reducing the expense within our earning limit isn’t a way for financial freedom. It is a self-torture.

Financial freedom is not living without money. It is living without worrying for money.

Saving and Investment
Money saved will be spent in the future. Money converted to asset and asset will be re-converted to money. Investment is just a transformation. There is no permanent state for money. Money neither can be destroyed nor created. It can be transformed from one state to another. Saving is a myth. It does not happen practically.

How can we attain financial freedom? How much we earn, will be spent today or tomorrow. More we spend more comfort and more standard of living. Everybody has own saturation and satisfaction level for standard of living. So ‘how much to earn’ differs from person to person.

It is the ability to earn consistently is the real way for financial freedom. Our standard of living will fix ‘how much’ we have to earn. We must be able to earn that amount consistently forever. Not today, tomorrow, day after tomorrow, consistently forever we have to earn. Volume of the amount is not an issue, but how long we are able to generate the income, which is important.

We are financially free if we know how much to earn and make it consistently. People who are financially free have such ability.

Carbon Capture and Storage(CCS) may harmful to Trees and Photosynthesis

Trees and Plants need Carbon dioxide for photosynthesis. If CCS removes ‘carbon’ dioxide, plants may not do photosynthesis. We will not get fresh oxygen and food if no photosynthesis happening.

Carbon Capture and Storage will filter the carbon in the air. We are not sure is it going to remove all the carbons or excess carbon causing global warming.

Carbon dioxide is important for photosynthesis. Plants absorb carbon dioxide from air and release oxygen during day time.

If CCS filters the carbon in the air, How will the photosynthesis happen without carbon. Oxygen will not be released and Agricultural food products will not be produced if photosynthesis is not happening.

If there is no carbon in the air or less carbon in the air, may affect Plants.

The consequences of artificial removal of carbon may show some manageable negative sign, but is should not be a nemesis. CCS is like a pain killer, which I already mentioned in my previous article, but the side effect of the pain killer should not kill the patient.

Social Networking in Olden Days

Social networking is not new. It is existing before the advent of internet. The concept of social networking is existing since man started to live in communities(group).

Today, the medium is internet. Earlier it was the trees and community places. Every village has one or two big trees or halls in temple or belongs to local panchayat. People gathered there when they have free time, especially in the evenings. They discuss about everything interested to them. Have fun and relaxation. Some people initiate the topic. Then the topic will revolve for many hours or days.

Today majority of villages are getting empty. Villagers are moving to cities to be a part of silicon civilization. There is not big trees in the cities. Few parks are there, but they are occupied by people waiting for their coffin and adolescent lovers. So no proper place for ‘In Person’ social networking.

But the inner call for ‘social talk’ is smouldering like smoke. Human is a social animal, social activity is must. The need for social activity is satisfied at ‘social networking’ sites. Social networking portals are ‘Silicon Trees’, where people of silicon civilization can interact when they are free under the shadow of silicon tree.

The feelings get under ‘Real Trees’ and ‘Silicon Tress’ both are same. Man is eliminating wooden trees, instead nourishing ‘Silicon Trees’ to sit, gather, discuss, speak, shout and relax.

So the core concept of social networking is existing since man lived in caves. Social networking or virtual life is going to boom. Every section or group of people need a ‘space’ to express their social networking calls.

Importance of Having Fun in Life

Importance of playing and having fun in life.

From childhood to college days, we play, have fun during our free time. But when we go to job, or after becoming adult we stop playing.

Playing and having fun are vital for healthy and happy life both mentally and physically. During childhood our mind is filled with games and fun. During adulthood our mind is filled with tensions and problems. We do not satisfy with what we have in hand. We keep searching something. Never ending search. We do not have time to play. Neglect playing and having fun. We leave them as they are kiddies activity.

Play, having fun, laugh are like antibodies to prevent tensions, fear, stress of adulthood life. While playing we forget everything, mind is free from all, which are unnecessarily hooked with our mind. You can experience the body in full action only if you have fun and play.

Ignore all your urges, throw away your fears and tension, create friends to play, have fun, laugh like mad. Suddenly you will be relieved from the past and the future and you will be in pleasureful present.

Having fun in life and playing may slow down the aging process.

The advent of modern women dresses like Jeans and top, Suridhar, Salwar, Mities eliminated the craze for Silk Saree. Silk Saree industry at Kanchipuram, India is under recession or about to disappear.

What was the economic situation of India, when it attains freedom from British. It was broke not even under recession. What is the situation now.

Indian farmers have faced recession during Jamindari administration, after Independence. Still farmers from different geographical locations of India facing recession. Recession is not new to Indian farmers. They born, grow, suffer, and die in between recessions.

There are sections of Indians who used live with recession and get adjusted to it.
