Now you have 25 hours in a day, what are you doing with it ?

Its always easier to say than do :-) let me start with that statement. We all heard about leveraging opportunities and handling crisis effectively in our professional career. We all know the most valuable commodity in the world is time, they stopped manufacturing it. Suddenly world started having the 25th hour. The one hour which we always needed, the one hour we always talked about our entire lives and the one hour we always dreamed of.
Let me explain how we all got one hour extra in a day. Due to Covid19 most of the corporate America is working from home. we all know working from home comes with its own challenges. Average commute time in US is close to 26 mins one way. including the preparation time you have an additional one hour every day at the least. Fortunately/Unfortunately you don't any more sports to catchup with. The media is busy in scaring you about the situation, if you are sane individual by this time you might have stopped watching news. If you remove the distractions and add the saving of time you got, you have net balance of at least one hour extra in your day. I am talking about corporate America, NOT about medical professionals and other important folks guarding streets, working in stores, supply chain, deliveries etc.,
We have those goals we have been pushing off due to lack of time like calling a friend, reading a book, cooking healthy meal or exercising. How about dusting off those plans. Its hard to get into routine if you don't have targets. Imagine yourselves few weeks after we enter normal routine being in a better health or finishing a book or learning a skill you always wanted to. Or the worst case scenario if it extends long you have better plan if you started down this path.
I don't want to publish my hard goals but here is my commitment, I will be running little bit more every morning, promising to finish reading one book at least, writing more than 6 articles before end of March and at least 6 hours of learning on cloud topics. Inspire yourselves to best utilize the 25th hour showered upon us.

Dhirubhai Notorious or Famous???????

This article is about a legend called Dhirubhai. Ambani The collected information about Reliance founder Dhirubhai from book Polyster Prince (which is banned in INDIA) and from internet. These facts are eye openers for rotten politics or eye brow raisers for public or shot in the arm for Indian system or brain teasers for Tax / Finance authorities....... Whatever it is, a man dreamed for something achieved it, the path he chosen might be controversial but not the hard work he put for it, neither his capabilities nor his thoughts..... One thing for sure 2 generations before me they dont know about this guy , might be no body discusses about him after 2 generations, i am proud to be from the same historic period as he is..... His famous quotes: Think big, think fast, think ahead. Ideas are no one's monopoly "We cannot change our Rulers, but we can change the way they Rule Us. "Changing orbits is the key to our progress" Some Unofficial statements made by him : I dont

Excerpt from the book "Made to Stick"

Image
This is one of my favorite books this year. The authors in this book talk about 6 principles to make messaging stick.  S:  Simple: Find the core and share the core U: Unexpected: Get attention(Surprise), Hold Attention (Interest). C:  Concrete: Help people understand, remember and coordinate. C:  Credible: Help people Believe. External and internal credibility. E:  Emotional: Make people care through the power of association, self-interest, and appeal to Identity. S:  Stories: Get people to Act through simulation and inspiration. Golden Rule of Simplicity: A one-sentence statement so profound that an individual could spend a lifetime learning to follow it. People can be driven to irrational decisions by too much complexity and uncertainty. Simple messages are core and compact. We need to shift our thinking from "What information do I need to convey? to "What questions do I want my audience to ask ?" Curiosity comes from gaps in our knowledge. Statistics will, and should,
