Christmas Happiness

Christmas ! What a wonderful time to be with family and friends !  Some people were not able to meet their family and friends during Christmas.  They will be sad.  How simple it is to figure out that we are Happy when connected with people and sad when left alone.

We correlate our most important events in life as the most happiest moments.  For example, Marriage, Graduation, Engagement and so on are considered to be happiest ones.  On those days we are together.  There are lots of people around us.  We feel the strength of our connection.  We will be Happier on our wedding day than standing on Time Square during New Year's Eve, because we will be surrounded by strangers in the later case. 

I call the Happiness from being connected as Christmas Happiness.  The more and better we are connected with people(real and valuable connections) the more happier we are.  We can create this Christmas Happiness everyday if we are willing to go out of our comfort zone and build some real and lasting relationships with people around us. 

Imagine a place where you walk in and everybody knows you instantly.  Imagine Times Square on New Year's Eve where everyone present there knows you.  How great the feeling would be?  More Connections = Happiness. 

There is a great saying in Gujarati (Native Language of Gujarat State in India), "Odkhaan e ek prakaar ni Khaan Chhe".  Which means that "Connection is like a Gold mine".   To me it is a Gold mine of Happiness.

Blamers vs Seekers

Whenever you are facing a tough situation in your life, then you will meet individuals who are either Blamers or Seekers.  By seekers, I mean Solution Seekers.  Your effectiveness in dealing with a situation will be greatly determined by having an overwhelming majority of Seekers on your team.  The more you have these people, the better you will fare in any given situation. When you want to solve an issue and get a deeper understanding, you don’t want to spend time dealing with politics or calming a person’s emotions about trivial things.  You want to dive into details, do a root cause analysis and fix the problem.  Plus you want to prevent it from happening again.  Blamers have always someone to blame for their problems.  They get agitated easily.  They take it on themselves. Solution seekers are trying to solve the problem.  They are diving into the specifics of the issue at hand and what could be done to solve the problem and prevent it from happening again.  They are already at wor

A Make Sure List For Every Meeting To Stay On Track

Image
Some projects last for a long period of time and lots of meetings are conducted to get the project done.  During those meetings lots of things are discussed.  Lots of decisions are being made and responsibilities being assigned.  At the same time not everything that was important gets accomplished.  It is because other priorities took over and that one thing which was important never got done.  And nobody bothered to revisit it. I think these things should be addressed before a meeting is even scheduled and agenda being formed.  This is a checklist of things that need to be done for past, present and future meetings.   This will make sure that we are in the control of the project.  I see past, present and future meetings’ to-do lists as color coded items.  It helps me in realizing the importance of each of them.  Please make sure about the following things for every meeting we schedule. Previous meetings ( Green ) Run through a checklist from last meeting about things that need

Sugar A Status Symbol ! Really !

Sugar a symbol of status ! Really !   In the seventeenth century sugar was an item of luxury and it was considered as a status symbol.   It was very expensive item and of course the technology didn't existed to mass produce sugar from sugar cane. Suddenly they started producing more and more sugar flooding the market.  So prices decreased.  And sugar was added to everything into coffee, tea, dairy products etc.  It was turned into a necessity.   I was surprised to read this and you should read this   Sugar turned into a necessity . For more people to consume sugar they started promoting benefits of sugar.  Middle class also started consuming because a luxury item then was now affordable and they started consuming sugar like anything. Coming back to 2010 if you just walk into a super market you will see thousands of products which have ample of sugar.  It is enough to make you diabetic.  Guys any second guesses to why obesity and diabetes is increasing in 21st century than b
