LEADERS PROFOUNDLY SAYS VOCATION = VACATION.
Often referenced study suggests that failing to take a nice long vacation over a period of years can increase your likelihood of heart disease.
Mark Twain asserted “make your vocation –vacation.”I believe in loving vocations. “Each man has his own vocation; his talent is his call. There is one direction in which all space is open to him.” Said profoundly by Ralph Waldo Emerson quotes (American Poet, Lecturer and Essayist, 1803-1882)
We all need profession by choice not by chance. Founder of Jerry Yang Yahoo says,” it was all fun and joy it was never a business. Founder of Elan Musk PayPal says,” I need only three things internet, environment and income to pat rent only. No idea of making profit and I had not gone for vacation for 3 years. Founder of Microsoft Bill Gates had worked for more than 2 years before finding out his first software” DOS “for IBM.He ranged his mother to communicate that this may be last call from my side as I get the first software contract in my life.”
Stress free and pleasure work place cannot be created .Pleasure and peace is the byproduct of love. Once you start loving it pleasure will be created. Most of the people do not love their work; hence the pressure is created at the work place.
Working hours are never long enough. It never makes someone tired if someone love it. See it is always a fun and joy . In my eyes, vocation is spring to life. How someone can be away for a day in his life from his vocation.
“Everyone has his own specific vocation or mission in life; everyone must carry out a concrete assignment that demands fulfillment. Therein he cannot be replaced, nor can his life be repeated, thus, everyone’s task is unique as his specific opportunity.” Asserted by Viktor Frankl quotes (Austrian psychiatrist and psychotherapist. 1905-1997).
We all need to nourish our spirit with new scenery, abandoned routines, and time devoted entirely to stress-free pleasure. But you’ve also probably heard or read me say that balance is BS.
FITNESS AND HEALTH ARE BUZZWORDS ON THE CORRIDOR OF LEADERSHIP:
78 years old man in Pittsburgh in the US rode a roller coast 90 times in a day .Vic Kleman spent about five hours on the jack Rabbit roller coaster .The wooden coaster is no spring chicken, either. He had been doing it since 1958.
What is the number one priority of a leader?
In jet setting and sedentary life style and constant pressure of performance at work place produces Obesity, Diabetes, High Cholesterol and acidity are common downside in the professionals.
Life at Call center, IT professionals, banking and insurance industry professionals are found under pressure which cost them in to life time decease.
Now a day, yoga and meditation trainer are found in most of the companies to take care of fitness .You will also see training programme on food and life style. Recently, if I had find that MOTIF inc. had organized training programme on cervical cancer.
Fitness of a leader is a first priority. Fit leader needs clean oxygen in his lungs.
EVERYTHING STARTS WITH BELIEVE IN YOUR POTENTIAL.
Mohandas Gandhi said, ” The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world’s problem.”Our potential can built up future if we tap it up to fullest level.
We should see what could be seen in us. Society look at the EVERYTHING STARTS WITH BELIEVE IN YOUR POTENTIAL.
Mohandas Gandhi said,” The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world’s problem.”Our potential can built up future if we tap it up to fullest level.
We should see what could be seen in us. Society look at the Bolly wood actor Anupam Kher, He was fail in the Secondary examination. His knowledge of English language was very poor. He could not study better even after it. His father has given party to this family members, when he was declared fail in the examination. But Anupam Kher knew he can act and perform. He keep on doing it even sometime, his father was his only audience. But he had seen his dreams and capacity to deliver his capability.
When you see and believe in yourself than you could be a best role model among the others. Taping potentiality at fullest is the essence of leadership. Leadership is not fall far from your true potentials.
Charles Schwab asserted profoundly,” When a man has put a limit on what he will do, he has put a limit on what he can do.” What we are at inside, we will become at outside. Believing in inner strength and mobilizing up to fullest level, tagged “congratulations on your desk, one fine morning. You profoundly says, you deserve it because you believe in yourself.
True leaders never emphasis on physical or mental or social problems, they give much more important to what they can do in spite of those events. Recently, Tiger Woods participated in the golf tournament after his crucial marriage life problem. He decides not to quit from the game and motivated himself to come to the ground.
I like following credo…
If you think you are beated, you are…
If you think you dare not, you don’t.
If you had like to win, but think you can’t
It’s almost certain you won’t…….
Life’s battle don’t always go
To those stronger or faster man,
But soon or late, the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can?”
You will be able to create what you believe.
What is your nature to believe in yourself? How you can tap your true potential?
Knowing and believing in your inner strength is true sense of leadership. Aliveness means believing in your potentiality. Leaders use potentiality and move forward with positive actions in the right direction.

What has made them great brand?
Can we make our selves great brand?
YES! Certainly.
Personal branding is not at all marketing or self-promotion tactics, it is more fundamental .It is a clear understanding of what you are and what you stand for. People who can brand themselves will carry and image that get associated with not only their brand name, but also the organization.
India has two different examples. L & T I s branded as an organization. (Most of the people do not know who the CMD is?) And on the other side Anil Ambani is more popular as CMD of brand Reliance.
5 points direct you to create positive brand of your selves equally.
1/ List out qualities that make impact and distinguish you from others.
2/ We must visible difference and you are also visible with different projects .
3/ Eliminate “GOOD ENOUGH” thinking. Challenge yourself everyday for new accomplishments.
4/ Be available and communicate properly in your personal, social and professional circle.
5/ Keep raising the bar on your own performance and compete with yourself.
You must make impact that every where you go.
WHY I DID NOT JOIN B-SCHOOL
The lesson that working as a builder taught me above all others, one that’s not in the textbooks but should be, is this: There’s pure joy when you take a risk to pursue your dream and find work that you deeply connect with.
Now, as a college professor, I see my students struggling with a desire to have more than a career. They want to have a “calling,” but many are dissatisfied and frustrated, following a path set by others while afraid to set their own. I have counseled many of my students to follow their passion as I did. But it’s not an easy thing to do.
I learned in building that in the end, for my career to be my calling, it will not be what I designed, but instead the collective of what I experienced. It will not be aimed toward a fixed end of stability and certainty, but a continuous pursuit of growth and awareness. That growth will not be for others to critique and review but for me to judge and deem satisfactory. Now I know that my very first decision to become a carpenter in Nantucket was only the first step in a journey, I didn’t know I was taking. And that’s what makes it so wonderful. For all its seeming irrationality, it was my announcement to myself and to others that my life was my own.
When I started this journey, I just wanted to be a carpenter. But I surpassed my wildest dreams and became a builder, a distinction I didn’t even know existed when I started. And this realization leads me to one overriding and inescapable truth, that a life well lived must be a creative endeavor. Whatever form that creativity takes — whether it’s carpentry, building, teaching, raising a family, or writing a book — the challenge of looking within ourselves to find that creative element makes us who we are. But chances are, if we are genuinely open to the possibilities of a calling, we will find that satisfaction will come from someplace far different from where we expected to find it.
I cherish my experiences as a builder — and the astonished looks on people’s faces when I tell them that I chose this path over graduate school. I still maintain my set of tools and make constant repairs on my house (many not needed). And I recall the certainty of satisfaction I felt with a job well done. I felt a clarity in construction that doesn’t come as easily in academia.
This is not to say that academia is not a noble profession or that I should not be devoting my life to it now. It is to say that satisfaction in life comes from knowing who you are, what you want to do and sticking to your idea of what quality is; how a job well done is measured. Matthew Crawford has been writing lately about the need for society to reexamine the taken-for-granted assumption that everyone should go to college and get a white collar desk job; that the trades “suffer from low prestige” and that a choice to go into them “is viewed as eccentric, if not self-destructive.”
While I agree that the trades are an honorable profession (and presently quite a lucrative one, as anyone who has done a renovation on their home can attest). But the deeper point to me is the challenge to take the time to think about what you really want in life before laying out the time and money on higher education. And once you have a sense of yourself, stick to your own measure of who you are.
The pressures of conformity in graduate school can be quite strong; most vividly at graduation time when students compare starting salaries. And those pressures start much earlier for many. I see young students today building their resumes from the 7th or 8th grade. The danger in teaching this practice so early is the concurrent lesson that the measure of your worth comes from outside, from the evaluation of others as they survey your resume.
When students ask me where they should go with their careers to make the most money or to have the most impact, I am quick to tell them: “Wrong questions, try again.” The key questions are ones that only they can answer (with some prodding from me): “What were you meant to do with your life? What do you want to do? Where do you most fit?” The final lesson for my students from my years building houses is to pick their path and be open to the possibilities that emerge as they embark upon it. I truly believe that opportunities will be revealed to you.
As Henry David Thoreau said most eloquently, “I learned this, at least, by my experiment; that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.”
