➤When laziness is better than perfection !!!

The "search for excellence" is different from "efforts of perfection". Why should we be pushed to be perfect ???👯💃

1)You do not have to be better than others

When you try to be perfect, you are actually competing with others. That is not the right strategy. You have to compete with yourself only. Raise your own bar everyday. As long as you are ahead of where you were yesterday, you are a hero. A daily hero !!!

2) Perfection requires a lot more energy

There is lot of efforts difference between "Nearly Perfect" and " Perfect". Ask a student who gets 99% marks and one who gets 100%. A sculputre may spend many more hours to reach the state of perfection with his idol. This Perfection is his state of mind, not of statute. Work smart !!!

3) Perfection is the attempt to be someone else

Perfection is a state of mind in which you try to imitate your role models. Self improvement books and motivational speakers set these standards for you. You start believing that you will not be complete if you do not do a perfect job every time. You already are Perfect !!!

4) 80:20 rule will do more good

Famous Italian sociologist Pareto propounded his famous theory on income distribution as 80:20 in all aspects. You will be better off with regard to income, relationships and productivity if you reach just 80% of target perfection. 50% will get you at 80% output. That means , your output will be 160% rather than 100% with Perfection as target. Laziness...with applause !!!

5) Try to be more effective , not efficient

Efficiency is "doing the things right". Effectiveness is "doing the right things". Choose the activities which are giving you results rather than working hard on any one activity. Today is an age of multi-specialist rather than single experts. Look at the success of multi-specialist hospitals. Focus on acquired skills, not natural abilities!!!

Smell the roses. If you are happy, you will be more productive...


Cheers !!!

➤Glamour of 99

Money cannot buy happiness!!! Then how to be happy ?

Good news is that the happiness comes easy. It does not require efforts, great job or lot of money.

Let me share the glamour of 99 with you....

1) What do you want in life ?

The answers can vary. Most of the people say that they want name, fame, money, success and satisfaction. However, they all ultimately seek only one thing - Happiness. In an attempt to seek this elusive happiness, people get lost in "rat race".

2) Next age is the age of conservation!!!

The generations have changed from scarcity to abundance. Current generation is consuming way too much. They want more and more. We are pushing nature to the limits. The time has come when one has to be conservative in consumption. May it be food or materialistic things. The accumulation is causing stress and robs us of the quality of life.

3) Join the movement

People, all the world are beginning to realise that accumulation of things is taking us away from ourselves, relationships and our soul. Some rich people have voluntarily decided to keep just 99 things in their possession and get rid of balance. They confirm that they are much happier than before.

4) It is a virtual club

That means you do not have to sign anywhere. You do not have to become any member. You have to simply declare to yourself that you are part of the movement. That means you have to deliberately make efforts to live life with only 99 things of your own. You have to believe that you are keeping too may things which will never be used.

5) It is easy and fun ☺

☺

You need not throw balance things in one day. Just take out 5 items everyday, donate these or simply dump in the garbage. Anything which you have not used in the last two years will most likely never be used. You have the habit of keeping it...Just in case - for tomorrow. You will be surprised to see that even after two months ...you are still throwing things away.


Cheers for your happy life....
