Resilient...!

"...resilient people are really good at choosing carefully where they select their attention. They have a habit of realistically appraising situations, and typically, managing to focus on the things that they can change, and somehow accept the things that they can't.

This is a vital, learnable skill for resilience. As humans, we are really good at noticing threats and weaknesses. We are hardwired for that negative. We're really, really good at noticing them. Negative emotions stick to us like Velcro, whereas positive emotions and experiences seems to bounce off like Teflon.

Being wired in this way is actually really good for us, and served us well from an evolutionary perspective..."

“Our anxiety does not come from thinking about the future, 

but from wanting to control it.”

― Kahlil Gibran

Let us give our best to change WHAT WE CAN and

Let us ACCEPT WHAT WE CAN'T and in any case

Let us STOP WORRYING and start WISHING...

Way to go...

Leadership...?

The difference between a King or an Emperor or a Boss and a Leader is a Leader can never be authoritarian, dictator or self-indulgent to the level of being indifferent to other’s pain and sufferings. Quality of Leadership is directly proportional to the Human lives one touches and uplifts… it has nothing to do with the Position or Power, lest the Propaganda! Besides, a Leader has an unwavering Vision and a dignified Mission higher than self-worth that can never be compromised...!

"The only variable are the conditions inside the organization, and that's where leadership matters, because it's the leader that sets the tone. When a leader makes the choice to put the safety and lives of the people inside the organization first, to sacrifice their comforts and sacrifice the tangible results, so that the people remain and feel safe and feel like they belong, remarkable things happen..."

"If you think about what being a great parent is, what do you want? What makes a great parent? We want to give our child opportunities, education, discipline them when necessary, all so that they can grow up and achieve more than we could for ourselves. Great leaders want exactly the same thing. They want to provide their people opportunity, education, discipline when necessary, build their self-confidence, give them the opportunity to try and fail, all so that they could achieve more than we could ever imagine for ourselves..."

"It's not the numbers. It's that they have violated the very definition of leadership. They have violated this deep-seated social contract. We know that they allowed their people to be sacrificed so they could protect their own interests, or worse, they sacrificed their people to protect their own interests. This is what so offends us, not the numbers. Great leaders would never sacrifice the people to save the numbers. They would sooner sacrifice the numbers to save the people..."

"Leadership is a choice. It is not a rank. I know many people at the seniormost levels of organizations who are absolutely not leaders. They are authorities, and we do what they say because they have authority over us, but we would not follow them..."

Way to go...
