➤Habits change , nature does not !

Let me share this lovely story with you. Hope you will learn something at the end of it-

Once a man named Narhar lived in a village. He was very kind hearted.

One day, he saw a wounded mother python with a new born baby python. She died soon. Narhar felt pity and took the baby home.

He named it Kalia and took care of it. Kalia grew in size and would protect the house from mice and small animals. The villagers and kids would play with Kalia.

One day when he gave him milk, it did not drink. Kalia did not consume for many days. Narhar felt sad. H would pat his back to feed but in vain. Every night, Kalia would sleep besides him.

After a week, Narhar took Kalia to a doctor.

Doctor :‘How long is it with you ?’.

Narhar: ‘5 years’.

Doctor: ‘How did you find him?’

Narhar: ‘In the forest, when he was born his mother was attacked. She died and I brought Kalia home’.

Doctor: ‘Since when he is hungry?’

Narhar: ‘7 days. He only sleeps by my side’

Doctor: ‘Hmm. What he usually eats?’

Narhar: ‘Milk and feeds on mice, rats and protects our house’.

Doctor: ‘Hmm. Ok. “Narhar, it is starving since 7 days because it is planning to kill you!! It lies by your side to measure the length of his prey to engulf. Save your life’.

Narhar was shocked and left the python in the forest.

Moral –Animal or human, they never leave their nature.

➤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 !!!
