ASKING ABOUT THE 'ASK' FACTOR

                                                                                               - By Milan K Sinha

      

   

"Your Attitude, not Aptitude, will determine your Altitude" - says the reputed American author and motivational speaker, Zig Ziglar. This opinion is vindicated by Oprah Winfrey, world famous talk show host, actress and producer, by saying, "The greatest discovery of all times is that a person can change his future by merely changing his attitude". There are millions of  real life stories which tell very loudly and convincingly  how the right attitude changed the whole course of lives for betterment and prosperity. Swami Vivekanand also tells, "It is our  mental Attitude which makes the world what it is for us..."

                              सही नजरिया ही जीवन को संवारे

                             नित  आपके व्यक्तित्व को निखारे .

            "A winner is someone who recognizes his God-given talents, works his tail off to develop them into Skills and uses these skills to accomplish his goals" - says Larry Bird, the well-known American Basketball player  and coach. Rightly, without the matching skills which, of course is the outcome of regular learning/training  exercise, nobody can achieve the desired success despite having other personality development inputs. It’s a continuous  and dynamic process which provides the on-going opportunity  for self-evaluation and competence improvement for achievement of  professional excellence-the buzz word in corporate world everywhere.

                             नर हो या नारी , हुनर है सबके लिए जरुरी  

                             इसमें जो रहेगा दक्ष, वही प्राप्त करेगा लक्ष्य .

               Who doesn't know the  "BIG B" of  Bollywood and his very popular TV show: "Kaun Banega Karorepati". The Ads that were taking frequent rounds in various channels during that period used to  re-emphasize in a very creative way  the importance of  Knowledge - the differentiating factor in everybody's life. Francis Bacon, the renowned English Author and  Philosopher, thus said long ago," Knowledge is Power". Everywhere we hear - public sector and private sector alike, that we need knowledge worker. Undoubtedly, acquiring knowledge to become wise is the guarantee to dispel mental darkness which in turn facilitates consolidation of human values in our life for the good of each one of us.

                        

                            इसका हमेशा रखें हम पूरा ध्यान

                            ज्ञान से मिलता है मान सम्मान .

        So, by now,  you could make out what I intended to convey through this piece of writing? Yes, you are perfectly right. The combined effect of right  Attitude, Skill and  Knowledge (ASK) has been pleasantly phenomenal in the life of all those who value its multi -dimensional character.

       Then, why not review 'ASK' related  accomplishments at the end of each day to ensure daily  improvement for our own wellness ?
