Act As If

-
Met a good friend of mine recently, he was totally upset and stressed out because of his job. So, wanted to help him cheer up.

Narrated similar incident of a colleague who was totally stuck at job and unsure about the next steps.

I suggested the following method and it worked like magic for that colleague. This made so much sense to my friend that his outlook towards his job too totally changed and his reporting boss was all praises for him.

The method I taught him is known as  "Act As If".

Asked him to pretend that he has quit his job and just serving the notice period of say 90 days. Of course, he should also pretend he is joining his dream job with an unbelievable package.

This thought made him very happy and relaxed, his outlook towards the current job, boss and clients totally changed. After that whenever his boss called, my friend was totally calm and composed because after all he was on a notice period. His communication with the organization and clients improved too.

He went on to turn around the market to the amazement of his boss. Soon, he was selected as the best salesman of that region. Now, he's more relaxed at his job and heading Sales & Marketing for an MNC.

Are you going through stress at work place??? Act As if! 😊

Your Biggest Weakness is Your Greatest Strength

A 10-year-old boy decided to study Judo despite the fact that he had lost his left arm in a devastating car accident. The boy began lessons with an old Japanese Judo master. The boy was doing well, so he couldn't understand why, after three months of training the master had taught him only one move. "Sensei," the boy finally said, "Shouldn't I be learning more moves?" "This is the only move you know, but this is the only move you'll ever need to know," the Sensei replied. Not quite understanding, but believing in his master, the boy kept training. Several months later, the Sensei took the boy to his first tournament. Surprising himself, the boy easily won his first two matches. The third match proved to be more difficult, but after some time, his opponent became impatient and charged; the boy deftly used his one move to win the match. Still amazed by his success, the boy was now in the finals. This time, his opponent was bigger, stronger, a...

Potatoes, Eggs and Coffee Beans

-
Once upon a time a daughter complained to her father that her life was miserable and that she didn't know how she was going to make it. She was tired of fighting and struggling all the time. It seemed just as one problem was solved, another one soon followed. Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Once the three pots began to boil, he placed potatoes in one pot, eggs in the second pot and coffee beans in the third pot. He then let them sit and boil, without saying a word to his daughter. The daughter, moaned and impatiently waited, wondering what he was doing. After twenty minutes he turned off the burners. He took the potatoes out of the pot and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. He then ladled the coffee out and placed it in a cup. Turning to her he asked. "Daughter, what do you see?" "Potatoes, eggs, and coffee," she hastily replied. ...

Image via Wikipedia Do you recognize the genial looking old man in white suit in the KFC logo? It is Colonel Harland Sanders. Read on, if you still haven’t heard his rags to riches story. Sanders first served his fried chicken in 1930. In 1935 he was granted the title of honorary Kentucky Colonel in recognition of his contribution to the state's cuisine. In 1940 Sanders devised what came to be known as his Original Recipe. The Sanders Court & Café generally served travelers headed to Florida. But he had to shut down his restaurant business because a new highway was being built where his restaurant was located. The only option for Colonel Sanders was to live off of $105 in the form of social security checks. Not wanting to accept that as his fate, he decided to franchise his chicken recipe at the age of 65. He started travelling by car to different restaurants and cooked his fried chicken on the spot for restaurant owners. If the owner liked the chicken, they would enter...
