Become Your Own Boss
by Santhosh Babu
Who does not like the idea of being one’s own boss, calling the shots, managing assets (and may be people), and making money as unlimited as your talents and enterprise? Yet loving the idea of business ownership is one thing, and making the business a success is another. |

Clothes Can Make or Mar You
by June Tan
We all know that when a speaker gives an address on stage, his or her choice of clothing is not whatever that was pulled out instantly from the wardrobe. In today’s business arena, image is everything and what a speaker wears is crucial to that image. |

Appearances Can Be Deceptive!
by PK
Analysis. The human mind is very simple. It zeros in on the obvious. The guy whose drawer is in a mess is seen as having a disorganized pattern of thinking too. This is as crude as it can get. |

The Power of NO
by K R Ravi
An oft repeated fault in many organisations, is to automatically attribute success to the brilliance of the manager concerned or the team. Failure conversely is attributed rather automatically to incompetence. This is a serious flaw. In the above instance the CEO could have requested the ‘star’ performer to make a presentation to all the sales staff and share his insights into the strategy and tactics that in fact led to his grand ‘success’. |

A Turbulance Called Marriage
by PK
Now marriage as an institution is an attempt by the human mind to bring some order in the chaos that sexuality brings. The average humanity goes through this mill and it is the only kind of evolutionary sadhana an average person goes through. |

Mars and Venus as Each Other’s Teachers
by PK
Marriage is team-work and this is an acquired trait which has to be learnt and practised with serious intent. Of course, we complement each other but most of us would be equally happy living alone, content in our own selfish balloons. |

The Weapon Called Ridicule
by PK
This style of belittling others is a quaint little habit. You will notice it is a regular habit in some people. Their persona is wrapped around it. It is impossible to make a statement or ask these people anything and it becomes an opening for them to show their wit rather than answer the question in a down-to-earth way or give a plain unadorned answer. |

The Hopi and the Temporal Paradox!
by
We have a persistent feeling of events receding into a past of non-existence. The future is a nebulous void. The present moment is all that we experience and therefore grant it a higher level of existence. |

The New Year
by Sharath Bhat
I’m in advertising - which by default is a volatile business. Especially because the pace is hectic and the demands on your time, always on stretch mode. It’s a playing ground where tempers fray, decibel levels go up and you just might say or do something that you’re going to regret. |

Time to Change YOUR Leaves?
by Guest Tickler
Fall is one of my favorite times of year—the temp starts dropping, the air gets crisp, the trees put on a glorious display of color—I love it! I also think it's a great time to drop what's not working for you. If trees can let go of every leaf, why can't we let go of what no longer serves us? |

Can You Manage Sea Change?

One of my visits to the beach left me thinking about the term, ‘sea change.’ What exactly is the connection between ‘sea’ and ‘change’? Delving into the dictionary for its meaning, I was able to figure out that it can mean: transformatio... |

Opt for change this new year!
by PK
The effort is to keep ourselves busy with the inane and avoid real contemplation. Hours are spent in discussions. Each and every aspect is dissected from every angle in great detail. The sentences are pregnant with cares. Along with every issue raised there is an accompanying sentence that rationalizes the happenings so wonderfully that no avenue is left to really put in the effort to do something about it. We look for answers but only those that satisfy our own view or desire will find favour with us. This is hypocrisy in action. |

Priming the pump of life
by Ada Porat
Did the past year deliver what you wanted? Did you attract the outcomes you really desired? If life did not meet your expectations, perhaps it is time to prime the pump first! Let me explain. |

Why Not Legalise Corruption?
by K R Ravi
The CEO of a large company asked me to meet with his HR manager to discuss the possibility of conducting workshops on Lateral Thinking for his colleagues. I sought an appointment with the HR manager only to find the man was not interested in meeting me. I suspected that he did not like the idea of being told whom to meet. |

by Patrick Lim
Choice of career, choice of spouse, choice of investment, the list goes on. Is it by instinct or “gut feeling” or do we actually analyse the important decisions we make in life? |

Sex and the Lonely Woman
by Guest Tickler
I was in Dumaguete, a city in the South of Manila, when I celebrated my 44th birthday last November 2008. I was not alone. I was with a group from the office, managing a multi-million peso event that was to crown all our achievements for the year. I was the team leader and I owned the project. |

My Turning Point in Life
by Chitra Jha
I was living a beautiful, content life of marital bliss, enjoying motherhood and generally just being there. Life was good, I believed in myself, God was not a word in my lexicon; I passed my leisure reading fiction and watching movies. But, and it is a big ‘but’, at times I felt that there was more in me. |

Tough Times: 6 Tips to Beat It!
by Guest Tickler
It's when events are overwhelmingly beyond your control, that you either find new ways to cope or are pulled down by the undertow. Your usual defenses are inadequate to protect from overwhelming long-term stress. Stress can build gradually beyond tolerance level, or a surprising turn of events like those recently reported in the news can create the kind of vulnerability that demands openness to change. |
