The Power of Unlearning

Killing your grandmother...

Before you wonder what this is all about, let me quickly explain that this is not a primer on killing your grandmother - the poor dear. I have a recruiter friend in Canada who used to come down regularly to hire young engineers from India. At the end of each visit he looked distraught and at wits

I stay in the coastal city of Chennai and one of my favorite pastimes is to explore the coastline that borders one side of the city. Starting from the crowded marina and Eliot’s Beach to the less crowded and secluded ones that dot the East Coast Road (or ECR as it is called), I have always found

Who Should Pay For You To Learn?

Who Should Pay For You To Learn?

You started as a small fish with dreams of being a biggie. You routinely practiced your moves. You tried to learn new tricks to please those who held power to hand out generous changes in S&B (Salary and Bonus). You regularly preened yourself as you passed the mirror, admiring the lean mean fig

Be Yourself: Go Ahead and Flaunt Your Quirks!

Be Yourself: Go Ahead and Flaunt Your Quirks!

It’s a superb idea to seek out and consult people who were successful in achieving something you want. For example, if you want to reach a six figure income, working from home, it makes sense to find someone who has done that and to learn from them the systems they used. That’s smart. But what

by Shalu Wasu
Myths have a way of perpetuating themselves. There are quite a few related to training and learning too. Everyone seems to believe in them. So much so that they have become sacrosanct and no one even bothers to question them.

Why Most Success Formulas Fail Why Most Success Formulas Fail
by Rajesh
I am amazed at the various self help and self development books that are currently on the best sellers' lists. This clearly indicates that many people are looking for a road map to develop and succeed in their life quests.

All You Have To Do Is Ask All You Have To Do Is Ask
by Axee
We do communicate silently, within our minds in search of the best answers to the best of our capability. If we succeed, we act and enact that thought into action. If we do not succeed we move on and drop that thought. As a result we fail to act on that impulse. In the bargain, we lose several ideas that may otherwise have turned into lucrative results as possible opportunities.

In the US the main yardstick is the shrinking of the GDP for two successive quarters. There are also many other indices that are closely monitored as indicating the health of the economy like retail sales, new house purchases and real estate prices, motor car sales, and so on.
