Memory of the cell

Brain memory is a minuscle part of our memory. The biggest memory is the cell memory, which stores all the learnings of our forefathers. Have you ever consciously digested your food, pumped your heart blood, performed the kidney or lungs function. No, it just happens on it's own, not only on humans but on animals, plants, even on new born species. So what drives the functioning of the body parts if the brain doesn't order the functioning of the body consciously.

I had the aha moment one day when I was driving down to my office . I took a right turn instead of going straight to my office because I was taking right for the last three days on my way to badminton court. When you are preoccupied and in the absence of intervention, the body performs what is stored. But then the body was intervened continuously to do certain things and was conditioned. In other words, in the evolution of species somewhere in the past, the blood was pumped, oxygen was inhaled, food was digested more consciously and over a period of time, that process is  ingrained in all our cells and has become automatic.

And this is true for all the heroics that we try to do, to come out of the orbit of what our forefathers did, needs lot of energy. A son of a farmer becoming a scientist or a son of a teacher becoming an entrepreneur, need to overcome the cell memory and need to do action beyond his comfort zone.

So let's be aware of the fact that we are limited by the memory of the cell and push ourselves to break free into the limitless possibilities..

Effectiveness

In India, Private organisation employees work for more than 60 hours a week contrary to Western counterparts who work for around 40 hours a week. But still, there is no significant improvement in the organization performance vis a vis the western world.

The additional 20 hours a week of about 50 crores Indians is not yielding desired results and worse the 60 hours of work is not as good as 40 hrs of work of Western counterparts. There could be only two issues, either they are not effectively working during those 60 hrs or not working on the effective things.. I strongly feel that the later is the issue, we are not working on things that is required and very often do the wrong things.

But then why are we doing all wrong things, is that part the problem of our thinking, is that the problem of our education, is that the problem of society and the way we are brought up.. It's a combination of all this, we need the education system to move from rote learning to creative learning, that changes the way we think and the way we behave in the society and it will reflect on the way we work and deliver. it's time that we change the way we learn & think, else we are doomed..

Messi - The perfectionist

You get mesmerized, dumbfounded, awed, stunned, humbled by the act of his perfection, that's Messi.

How do one get to this level of perfection, I don't know, that's something we need to understand and need to be taught. It's not just about football but about limitless possibilities of human capabilities and need to be emulated in every field..

Formats

Bloody just because there are so many columns in Excel sheet, formats are prepared in so many columns. There are so many fools in the corporate world who make simple things complex.. we need people who at least make simple things simple..

Stress

Stress in work is not a factor of work, it's a factor of what you dislike. The more you do things that you dislike, the more you are stressed.

Break the task into things that you find easy and that you dislike. Understand your limitations,  delegate or take the help of others for things that you dislike and do more of things that you like. Take things that you dislike in small doses and learn from that. Take a break and do things that you love the most and bring a balance.

Misfits

The world is full of misfits, we don't do what we love, what we are good at, we do what we get, we don't take decisions, we maintain status quo, we don't create choices rather we Crib that we don't have choices..

And we become absolute misfits in what we do. More than 80% in this world are misfits, they don't love what they do, they don't create what they love and they can't create things that the world loves. The damage is not just internal but to the entire world.

Lack of resources, opportunities, will power and intense competition ll increase the misfits in the coming years but find time to do what you love, take a break to create what you love, As Susan Cain puts it, "the world needs you and the things that you create"

Walkers

Have you noticed the walkers, 50% of them are over weight. If walking need to make them fit, who are they. And you see the persons who play any kind of sports they are all fit. Check and do what you love, it helps you to have a regular schedule..
