Managing Complexity

What could be possible strategy to manage complexity with ease? Step 1: The answer lies in the individuals habits. Its easy to miss the bus, friends b'day party, gym, train etc but the consequences of doing so in some cases may not be what we want them to be. One may reach late to the office one day but doing that repeatedly becomes a habit and that makes the person more weak in managing complexity. The person who has already developed some good habits of doing tasks on time, sleeping early, getting up early, taking care of health, family etc has mental peace and is ready to face any new challenge in terms of complexity in the future. Once the first step of aligning habits with career goals is achieved then comes the second step. Step 2: Breakdown and structure the complexity Many a times complexity as a whole may be solved by breaking down the problem into the small  problems and identifying the root causes of the small problems. Once we know the areas where the core prob...

Random universe related thoughts

Universe is boundless, vast, has no end and no beginning. For universe, our planet earth is a tiny minuscule planet. Whatever we may think that we know about universe is still 1/million times of what the universe may actually comprise of. Every theory may fail at those large distances. For instance, the distance between two galaxies is in the ranges of a million light years.  A light year is the distance traveled by the light in one year. Light is so fast that it can cover 3 lakh kilometers in a second. Till the time we hadn't discovered radio, communication satellites and airplanes, even earth used to look like a big giant planet. It used to take months and year to travel from one corner of earth to the other. But now with the advent of technology, world has become a global village. One can connect with his long distance friend with skype in seconds for free of cost. With supersonic and hypersonic planes it takes merely 5-6 hours to reach to the any corner of earth.

Navigating through challenging times

There will always be times in our lives when everything will look smooth. We will have better health, better access to resources, great friends and family, everything which makes us satisfied and comfortable. But, there will also be times in our lives when the winds will blow against the direction of the boat. It will be very difficult to maneuver your life boat in the forward direction, everything will seem lost and everything will look falling down to pieces. The point here I want to make is, irrespective of whatever be the times, the man's smartness is always the function of his ability to manage the complexity. We need to understand that times will always change and being the smart individual at least for oneself, one has to keep his calm, patience, hold his breath and wait for the right moment if the immediate results are not possible.  The person who comes out of all the wriggles and still goes to the top is more respected than the one who sails without any obstacles. So, ...

Mid-Career Crisis

Where am I heading?? Am I able to fulfil life expectations with my present job?? ( Potential vs Opportunity ) available in the job market?? Addressing this question becomes way too tough when one lacks clarity in understanding himself. We tend to over look our potential ( Knowledge, Skills, Abilities). This leads to higher expectations than what we are actually able perform. Its very important to test yourself and know completely where are the gaps present and manner they will be addressed. With those gaps already existing and unknown, it is failure what we get when we target something which we thought we can do. Tried and tested over time and focused approach towards your strengths and reworking  on them and aligning them with the target lead us to a more future proof individual.
