Go the Japanese Way.

Imagine a situation where you need one spanner while working. There is no definite system as to where things are kept. They are kept as per the machine operator and you do not need it when required. This may make a loss of precious time in just getting that spanner. In another situation, there is urgent need of a certificate or invoice and you have kept those all over place. You may not retrieve it or will have to search in each cup board or drawer where you may have possibly kept that paper. 

That is why getting organized is such an important thing to your success. Getting organized does not mean just well kept things, files, etc. but it also shows your attitude towards getting organized. In fact, if you have set some systems it will save you much of the precious time whenever you need to retrieve this material. This work culture is best systemized by the 5S technique which is applicable at office, industry or even home. The 5 S’s in the technique are:

S – Seiri - Sort

S-Seiton - Set in Order

S-Seiso - Shine

S-Seiketsu - Standardize

S-Shitsuke - Sustain

We will look more in detail - in some series articles.

Pets Buster

Among the many things that make you relax, some of them are Pets. Pets are something which help you relax your stress. You can play with them, bath them, fill them with food, walk them around and there can be N number of things that you can do with them. When you come back from office, they are eagerly awaiting you. In fact, if you have a industrial area or some sort of area where you can keep them, it would be one of the best things. You can play with them at your workplace too, which would be a welcome break and give you energy. And I joke around with my friends here that Pets are so stress relieving because they cannot complain. I mean, when compared to children. 

Children are also great stress relievers but they can give you some headache too i.e. sometimes when they are demanding. Instead of relieving your stress, you may release one slap on them. And then it’s doubly difficult. Pets don’t retaliate. If you do not want to play, you may just ignore them. Dogs are best. You may keep any pet as per your taste.

You have what all have. It is up to you how you use that.

All of us born on this earth have a common thing. Everybody - Right from the child born in extreme poor conditions to the child born with a golden spoon in his mouth. From the child born in Western country to the child born in Eastern country. And that thing is time. It is only time that is equal to everyone and with every moment it just passes out of our hand. It is up to each one of us how to utilize it. There are some who kill time by doing time pass, while there are others who utilize their time with utmost care. There are some who will go from zero to millionaire in matter of few years, while there are some who go the reverse way too.

Time. It is so important and limited thing. We cannot manufacture time. There are some, who sell their time to earn money. There is second category who buys others time to earn money. It is the time management which takes someone from being a mere regular guy to a person who is successful. Have you noticed, how regular guys will not have any time for anything, because he is busy with his own things. But the successful ones will always find some time to do what he wants. It is because he utilizes his time according to the priority. You too need to use your time wisely. In next some tonics, I will be sharing some of the things on this too, so you can use it in making big things.

Concentration power – Syringe.

There is no debate that we have tremendous power within ourselves. It is so huge that we can bring a change not only in our lives, but the world too. It is just that we cannot visualize it. And if we cannot visualize, it is very difficult to believe. The result is that we do not believe in the tremendous power that we have and that power remains unutilized till the right moment. Many might have witnessed that moment. 

I would like to draw upon you the image of a Syringe. In first condition, the syringe is without the needle. Fill the Syringe with some water. Now, draw the water out with full force.  The water will cover some distance. Now, fill the Syringe again and fit a needle to it. Now again draw the water out with full force. This time the water will cover more distance. This is because the outlet area is smaller in the second case. The flow of the water is more concentrated in the second case. Due to this, the water has more power-force to cover the distance. 

A similar example will give you more idea. Take two rubber balls. The first one has one hole & second one has 10 holes. Fill both of them with water and press. See which ball throws water with more force. Obviously, the first one. 

This is something similar to our mind. Our mind has innumerable thoughts at any given moment. This dilutes the power of the thought. If you hold only single thought for more time, the power of that thought will be very high. Try practicing that with your thought.

How Water Cuts Rock

I have seen water cutting the hard rock. You might have got the idea about what I am saying. Water is very very soft – it is liquid; it will take the shape of the container in which it gets into. But this very water can cut the very very hard rock. This is due to the continuous water flow falling on only one spot of the rock. Due to the continuous flow, the rock gets weaker & weaker, day by day. This water then makes a dent into the rock and then breaks it. The only condition is, there should be sufficient water and it must continuously fall on the same spot every time. 

This is very similar to our entrepreneur journey. There are so many obstacles in front of you and you have to fight them. It is either the obstacle & you. Very few percent of Entrepreneurs actually cover the distance to become successful. These are the people who have not feared any obstacle and whose perseverance was so high that the obstacle had to blink first in the race – who blinks first? Like the water which has to last until the rock is destroyed fully, our perseverance to fight the situations will make us succeed. 

We have to sustain ourselves just long enough for any right opportunity to strike us. If we persevere till that opportunity, then success will be at your doorstep. Like the wise saying – Winners never quit & Quitters never win.
