Why should you hire anybody?

By
When you look for individuals to fill a position in your company, what do you look for?

Is it

  1. attitude 
  2. skill
  3. presence 
?

Attitude includes things like "I am so great and I know so much" or "I am just learning and can pick up well" or "I have done it in the past but now I forgot" or "I know I can do it but I cannot jus tell you how?" or "I am jack of all but master of none or opposite".

Skill is obtained by hard work or its a nature's gift. You have certain gaps and you want to fill those. There are better skilled people out there who can do it for you.

Presence is how you feel in presence of the individual in front of you. Do you feel comfortable or do you feel agitated?

What do you expect the person to tell you when you ask "Why would you like to work for this company?"

Is it something like 
  1. You are the best talents out there and I would like to learn from you.
  2. Your company has the best potential to growth and I would like to be part of it. 
?

In reality why do people join companies? What are the real reasons? Have you wondered about them? Are they something like 
  1. I don't know how to create and run companies therefore I am in front of you.
  2. I just need the pay check at end of month to pay my bills. 
  3. I want to stop thinking between 9 to 5 and be away from the prying eyes. 
If you are filling positions take care of not getting duped.
If you are applying for positions be aware that its not about you but its about them. 

In either case in the end you just need to trust your instincts. And let time tell you about the quality of decisions made.

Success is exchange of energy

By
The definition of success is very elusive. It means different things in different phases of life to different people. When I was in school and college it was to pass somehow. When I was in 12th it was to get into engineering somehow. When I was in job it was to make more money anyhow. When you were in marriage it was to demand happiness and feel proud in pronouncing to yourself that every act of a frustrating job was for the sake of family and their well being. I was focusing on doing. I was focusing on achievement. So whenever I reflected back in life I always felt less. I could have been an IITian, I could not crack CAT. I could not join an organization during their early stock offer days. I could not go to US and earn in dollars. I simply missed doing too many things.  Now I feel lack of achievement. Now I feel lack of doing. Did I miss out on something while I was undergoing all this doing? Why was I nervous all this while? Why did one achievement led to other? Why...

Shivani, Brahmakumaries and Aastha channel

By
She comes twice on TV from 7:10 PM to 7:40 PM and 10:30 to 11:00 PM on Aastha channel. The spiritual channel story in India is on same lines as that of Aaj Tak , which was run by local ads before the big boys put ads on them. Today Shivani, a Brahmakumari mentioned that 99% of the cause of anger and frustration is elsewhere, it is not in the spur of the moment, when you hurt somebody or get hurt by somebody. Instead of reacting instantaneously , or pestering the reaction in the mind post the incident till eternity , can you wonder "Why is that soul so angry, what is bothering her? I am sure there is something more than what she has told me now?". The chain of thoughts that emerge lead you to compassion, releases love vibrations into the air. Love has a very subtle medium to reach out. You cannot yell and throw around love and claim that you are helping somebody by your love. You have to surrender to love and let love take over. You cannot correct the world. You can onl...

fix for tweetmeme button on blogger

By
This was the second time when I was pained to locate a proper place to place the tweetmeme buton in blogger. The tutorial has suggested keeping it between b:loop values = 'data:posts' var = 'post'> and ‘b:loop’. Also there are two such places where you can place the code. If you place in lower one then it will appear only if ads appear in your blog. The above has not worked for me and I am not sure about you, do you Meme?. I searched for a place near the spans at end of post and put it above the below line " <p class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> And it seems to work. You can meme below and retweet and check for yourself. Have you been struggling with button placement in blogger?
