Better Late Than Never

Right from my childhood, whenever I start something new, I always think, why have I not started it earlier ? Initially, it saddened me a lot. I considered myself an Anti-Opportunistic person, who never entered into anything good when it is proper time to enter. I used to blame myself and people around me for not letting me try new things.


Even today, when I have started to write something (on a blog), it is giving me the same feeling of Anti-Opportunity. I am feeling sad and thinking that I could have started this earlier. 


But,there is a good say in English which has always been my motivation. "Better Late Than Never". Rather, this is probably the only motivation for me. It encourages me to think that 'Starting' is important. It is never right time or wrong time to start something new. Starting at some point of time is important. Regretting about not starting something on the 'so called' correct moment is actually preventing me from starting that thing at all.
  
So this time as well, I am saying "Better Late Than Never" and entering this new world of blogging. 


Bloggers usually say that Writing has always been their passion and they always wanted to write. Well, this doesn't apply to me. Writing was never my passion. Maybe, it would be so in the future. But 'Expressing Myself' has always been my passion. I have been expressing myself till now. But that was to a limited audience. "Self Expression" never went beyond friends, family and colleagues. But now this new Beginning of mine will allow me to express myself in a better way, or at least I can hope so. I am optimistic about that.

Coming to the name of the Blog - Lionize The Trivial, literally it means 'Giving Lot of Attention and Approval to Insignificant or Minor thing'. Here again, a good say in English has given me some hint - "It is always the simple that produces the Marvelous". Personally, I have seen that 'so called' insignificant things actually occupy crux of the matter and decide the direction of future. So, I thought of giving a try to explore the Importance of Trivial things and highlight them, hence the name - Lionize The Trivial.

Well, to conclude with a 'Happy Ending' , I hope that I can acclimatize myself to this new environment soon and be of some use to it. I also hope that I will be able to 'Express Myself' using this tool and it will also prove useful to me. 

So, see you soon, till then adiós amigos !!

(P.S. - As one of my upcoming posts will elaborate, Feedback is very important for Improvement. So, I urge to give me your valuable feedback which will help me improve myself. I hope you'll enjoy reading this blog)

The interview with God !

All of us have given examinations since our childhood. Be it a simple painting competition at the age of 4 or an interview for a big-tech job or ivy-league school at the age of 25, exams are ubiquitous ! Everyone has to undergo an exam at every stage in life, to prove their worth, to justify what they did, to show progress in terms of numbers, to get promoted, to get paid, basically to be successful. Exams are those means for us all to get that, almost immediate, sense of achievement after we have done our part.   If we look at the world today, we see different entities nested in each other. There are nations, then there are economies. Corporations/businesses are nested inside economies, with business units inside them. So goes on till teams within business units and individuals in those teams. This is a simple construct adopted by humans to understand the grand schemes of things. In order to measure the success of entities in this grand scheme of things, exams and their resul...

The Management 'Before Christ' : Probably the Dark Matter in Universe of Management

Everything we do has Management. As it seems, the management is not defined clearly. George Terry says in his famous book, Principles of Management, that there has not been a clear definition of Management, because management is related to human beings and whatever is connected with humans has a degree of uncertainty and hence cannot be defined clearly. But overall management can be considered to be consisting of Planning,Organizing, Coordinating, Motivating and Controlling. Whatever may be the definition, management has been employed since way back in history. Sumerians who lived around 5000 BC taught us the technique of Record Keeping. Huge pyramids were built between 4000 BC to 2000 BC. Nearly 1,00,000 laborers were employed to build those. Deciding the architecture, dividing the labor, allocating the resources and checking the completed work, what else was all this if not Management. Later, Babylonians (between 2000 BC to 1700 BC) gave us the concept of setting the Targets and...

Hard Work vs. Smart Work vs. Quasi-Smart Work

"There is No Substitute For Hard Work" Thomas A. Edison There is still a confusion, about whether this quote is more famous or the person who said it is more famous. Well, lets not get bogged down further by this confusion. When we read this quote about hard work, we are immediately convinced. But, our conviction lies in the direction of the quote.We hardly bother to think Normal (Yes, the one from Geometry) to the quote's direction. In today's Smart World, everything and everyone is getting Smart and Smarter day by day. So, we have conveniently replaced the Hard Work with Smart Work (or rather started to do so). I remember an example, which my mentor told me once. He asked me that 'Who will reach the destination first in a race of running, if both an Elephant and a horse start running at the same time ?' I immediately answered, 'Horse' (As most of you must have already, how obvious !!). But I was surprised to know that my answer was wrong. The...
