"REFLECTION OF ME IS WE"- A CHALLENGE TO YOUR COMMUNICATION CAPABILITIES

The world where we all are living in is nothing but a complete illusion. It is the combination of our thought processes. The way we think, we pretend the whole world is that same. It is the state of the mind of the person which defines the world for him. It is universally applicable to all the individuals on the planet whether he may be rich or poor, child or aged person. It is the human tendency that we all look at the entire world, with our eyes only and this is the reason people have sympathy for others but not the empathy. We always believe there is only one angle to look the world and due to that only we get surprises over the tiny matter because we assert the outcome or process we are thinking is unique. And a small modification in outcome or the process surprises us a lot.

You all have observed that a person thinks that all others are feeling the same, what he is feeling. And it is the common situation with all, due to ideology of- “Reflection of me is we.” We are not even interested to know all facts and figures rather we apply our perception in every case uniformly without taking into consideration the individual variations. Recently, my friend has passed the CA IPC exam and his happiness even can’t be described in words. While celebrating his success, he was thinking all the people around the world are so happy and all should celebrate. He forgot many of our friends have failed too and they all must be dejected but he thought all are happy as he is. It is only because the world is nothing but an illusion or we can say it is the result of our uniform perception towards all. You may observe the similar thought process with any business man or even with any of your friends who trades. During demonetisation, I met my uncle and he was telling me government has made an excellent decision and all business would get benefit of the same as it is bringing the boom in the market. I think all we know that most of businesses have been hit hard due to same decision though he was saying me it is bringing the boom in the market. The reason is quite simple he was applying the situation of his business to all other businesses without thinking or taking care of the reality and the variations.

You all have heard people saying that there communication skill is very weak. It is good they are thinking about their communication skills. In the same line, we must think about the reason behind it; and the reason is ignorance. This ignorance is built up due to our ideology of- “Reflection of me is we.” We always think the image of the whole world is only what we think and it does not have its own real image and that is not true at all. We generally talk people as per our state of mind or ideology; a teacher talks about discipline with anyone as he generally talks with student, a happy person talks about happiness even to person who is sad and a sad talk person talk about sadness even to a happy man. Then how could anyone expect good communication in above mentioned cases? 

Nowadays, communication is the most important skill to decide your success chart. No one would know you until and unless you present yourself to them. And communication is the only and easiest way to present yourself to everyone. That’s why all must put efforts to improve their skill. To improve our communication skills, we must start talking with people as per their need, ideology and state of mind rather than as per ours. The day we begin talking with people as per their perception, at that very same time our communication skill would start improving. We also need to work on our observation skills, thinking horizon and our vision to step up towards the uncommon communication skills. We need to think beyond our common ideology of- “Reflection of me is we”, to become the uncommon communicator because- “Beyond common is simply the uncommon.”

NOTICING THE UNNOTICED DIRECTION AND GUIDANCE

People across the world are always desirous to know about their future. But have you ever thought of the reason behind it? Well there may be many reasons but the prime reason is that they all think, life would have been much easier if they come to know what is going to happen next. But they all are completely wrong because even if we come to know about the next move then also life could not be easier until and less we are ready to move further with the same dedication and hard work. You might be confused that even after knowing about our future how life would not become easier. But it is true, the moment we think to come across our future we lose our dedication and desire to work hard. The same moment we become lazy and try to search for an alternative and more convenient shortcut. That laziness makes us blind and we stop noticing the indication regarding the future rather we start relying on a magical stick which would tell us our future.

When God is for us, who can be against us. That almighty always shows his children the way but those lazy children do not understand his indications and make them the unnoticed direction and guidance. It is the laziness which is stalling us all from observing all such direct indications. Let us understand the extent of this laziness with one simple observation. I would like to tell you about a journey where these indications are clearly shown (future is clearly visible) and that too repeatedly, but in spite of all this, many fail in the very same journey. The journey what I am talking about is on the roads. If you have ever observed on the roads, it is clearly mentioned through traffic signals what is going to happen next. There is no other journey in the world easier than the roads which inform you in advance about all the things going to happen in the future which is the best part of this journey. Despite all such prior information many of us fail in this journey. The journey which tells you all about the future yet witnessing the high failure is really worrying and the reason is our laziness, ignorance and our compressed dedication and zeal to work harder. Even after knowing about our future, we must not lose our zeal, dedication and become more active to notice those unnoticed guidance, direction and traffic signals which would pave the way for our successful journey. 

One must think to improve his dedication and cautiousness rather than thinking of way to know his future, so that he can explore such unnoticed direction and guidance. It is not about knowing your future but it is your passion, desire, prudence and dedication which would make your journey successful. Life is like the game of the chess; each and every move has its consequences, only the thing is we need to be cautious enough to notice those consequences. There is no one in the world who would tell you directly about your future rather you should possess all the capabilities and skills which would let you notice those unnoticed direction and guidance that would determine the path of your successful journey. But if you don’t have this skill then you will collapse during the journey even after knowing about the future similarly like on road.

Noticing the unnoticed direction and guidance, is the most important or imperative task for a successful journey. It is not an easy task and requires various capabilities and skills. Moreover the required skills cannot be developed overnight it requires lot of patient and hard work. Though working hard is important, but there is something that matters even more-“Believing in yourself”

AN UNCOMMON IDEA TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS AND STARTUPS

India is the land of potential investors and business aspirants. The moment we think of business, we think of the startup. Generally startup can be described as an entity which has been established less than 5 years ago and has a turnover of less than ₹25 crore. India has its 65% of population below the age of 35 years. In India, a large section of people is thinking to start their own business and craft their dreams. Indian government is also taking initiatives towards the same and has launched Startup India Campaign on 16^th of January 2016 which provides various benefits such as freedom from tax in profit and capital gains for 3 years. The campaign would provide an ocean of opportunity to all entrepreneurs who want to shape their dreams into reality and want to achieve the destination they are waiting for.   

Startups are promoted by government on various aspects. But it is the individual who would nurture it with his skills, ideas and hard work. The task is not as easy as it seems to be. It requires a lot of courage to walk on a track which is completely unknown to you. It is difficult to begin and carry on your journey with startup but it is not impossible at all. It is your desire and zeal for success which would decide how you travel this difficult path of the startup and reach your destination. Though your attitude, faith and dedication would build your success story but no one can deny the fact that the innovative ideas are also important to define the fortune of the startup. Be it Flipkart, Just Dial, Paytm or even Ola, all of them came up with the different idea and have shown us the success of startups. So for the startups, you need to be innovative and different too, that means –“Think startup, Think uncommon.” 

The uncommon think is the biggest success mantra for the startups. It reminds me the concept which all of us have studied in our childhood, the survival of the fittest. But let me tell you one thing, in today’s world the survival of the fittest is no longer valid. I think all of you know very well about NOKIA, the cell phone manufacturer. Once the cell phone meant Nokia, but now it stands nowhere. The fittest brand was having more than 70% of market share in 2005 when it was offered Android as operating system. Nokia was at its peak and was dominating the cell phone industry completely, but with the launch of Android cell phone in 2008 and I-phone in 2007, it lost its dominance.  Till 2007 Nokia was having almost 65% of cell phone market share and in 2009 it was 2x of Apple and 4x of Samsung but now its presence is next to nothing. During the innovation of Android and IOS, Nokia was having everything. It could have even bought Android and IOS both. Though being the fittest, and having everything Nokia could not managed to survive after 2012-13. And the reason is only one thing its slow responses and its non- adaptability. 

Nowadays, the fitness of any business or startups does not ascertain its survival. It is always good to be the fittest as it provides business with lots of advantages but it is not enough always for its survival. Similar is the case with startups, one must focus on the innovative ideas to begin, which would provide the uncommon advantage and always think of upgrading its responsiveness from passive to active and from active to dynamic to successfully run his startup. In the long run, it is not fitness or health of business or startup which would decide its fortune rather ability to adapt and agility to response would decide its fortune.
