Rejuvenating tomorrow’s history

Attitude February 15, 2006

I work for a reputed multinational company. There are loads of companies in this world still trying to get to the standards of the company that I work in right now. I’m telling this to you because we all know that any company is driven by its employees, from a Cleaner to the Managing Director. So how should the attitude be for people who work there. I work as a support professional. I was having a small chat before starting my day with one of my colleagues. My company came up with a cost cutting policy by providing good plastic cups to drink coffee/tea and not to use the paper cups for them, as they created a lot of waste(money as well). Paper cups can be used for drinking water, of course, you can’t carry around your cups everywhere, cos’ you won’t know when you would feel thirsty. But you will definitely know when you feel like having a coffee.

There were a few guys taking tea in the paper cups and walking around. I just told “why aren’t people using there 6th sense?(the only logical difference between normal animals and homo sapiens)”. When told not to use the paper cups for coffee why do people who are educated, leading teams, managing projects would do that? The only answer that I got from that guy was, “Why should they? If you are doing it that’s all”. Why like this? Isn’t he a literate? Will he do it if he takes it as his property? The possible reasons why they could do this would be, either they don’t know to read English or they surely have a ill-Attitude. It’s definitely is not the 1st one, cos they are here working with a big brand and they wouldn’t be recruited otherwise. So it’s their attitude that has to change.

Rules-Are not barriers. They are made for us to be self-disciplined. They can always be broken for genuine reasons. Rules are not an eyeflap to make you go in the direction that your told. They are simply to streamline our discipline. For example people are not suppose to talk on mobile phones in ATMs. This is not a rule. There is no ruler in the world to force you to do something. Its told because it would distract you when request for money from the ATM. So every other strategies, so called rules are just to improve our self-discipline. AS long as you are self-disciplined, you have no rules. You wouldn’t consider them as one. They’ll be a part of your life-better life.

We are not here to Exist… to live.

Negligence January 20, 2006

We all must have come across this word. Yes, I would say we even experienced it at at least one time in our life. But how big mistake is it? Or first of all, Do we even consider it as a mistake?

Have we ever asked this question to our self? Well, I would say its our responsibility to ask oneself if he is neglecting anything. We do a job everyday and 1 mistake at 1 time is certainly not a big mistake. Say for example, I’m a cleaner in Railways and I check the wheels and pistons for the trains everyday and report the analysis. for whatever reason, If I’m not able to check a single rim of a wheel, its no big mistake. But on a long run after a few months if the rim has completely worn-out and breaks while on tracks, it could derail the entire train. Then do we consider it as a big mistake? Well, yes or no, this has happened in Germany a few years ago, causing 101 people to die and more injured and handicapped.

Looking into the effect, of the outcome because of the negligence, can we consider this as something even bigger than a planned murder? Well, I would say it is.

Its not perfection that’s required, its impossible, but we can surely be a little more careful. It does not take more than a few seconds of what we are already doing.  It brings excellence!
