Our Believe System
There’s a common believe in our mind that the best way of
getting our work done is to get angry with that person because what they can’t
do, our scolding will make them do. But until how much our believe system is
correct? Did we ever stopped for a while and tried to figure out that was there
any other way of doing it? There’s a famous saying in India that before judging
someone else you must get into his shoes and walk at least 10 steps. This makes
you realise the situation of the other person.
Becoming a CEO or a MD is seriously not a matter of joke
because you have to go through a lot of hardwork, training and what not-only then
someone becomes eligible to head a company. But does it gives us the license to
hurt people around us to get our job done. To solve this everyday issue we just
need to go back few years down the memory lane and remember what did we used to
feel when our professor or teacher or parent or someone used to scold us for
something that we didn’t do correctly. Did it felt nice in our heart when we
went back to do the same work after getting scolded. Did we had a stable mind
while studying the chapter for what we got scolded from our parents for not
getting good grades? Did we were able to concentrate on our work totally?No ! Because our mind wanders over the incident over and over again experiencing the whole journey of pain everytime.Then why do we expect
that people who are working under our supervision will be able to give their
best when there heart is full of sorrow and pain that he/she had felt in recent
past.
Importance of Peaceful Life
Today even government has started understanding the
importance of having a stable and peaceful mind, now it’s our turn to do
it.Lastly I will site an example for those who are still not so sure about how
work will be getting done if we stop getting angry upon everyone. The story is about famous
scientist Thomas Alva Edison, the inventor of the fluorescent light.Once he got
the chance to demonstrate his invention. While moving out he gave the lamp to
his servant and asked him to carry the lamp with him to the place of
demonstration. Unluckily the lamp fell from his hand and got broken. Thomas
went to the place of demonstration and apologized from everyone and somehow got
just one more day and one last chance for him to demonstrate the lamp. That day
he worked for whole night and finally by morning a new lamp was ready. While going
out once again he asked the servant to carry the lamp. Everyone told him not to
do so because again he will break the lamp just like what he did yesterday.
Thomas replied very politely that if I don’t trust him today, then I am going
to break his heart and his self confidence which is a million times more costly than the lamp because
we can make a new lamp but we can’t make a new heart.
