Living in this world requires a lot of patience and determination. I say this because not everybody is ready to take credit for what he is doing. The result some one else takes the credit. This looks a clumsy line. But I don't know how I can express this better. Let me try it once again. This time by giving an example.
In a school, the HM takes the credit of the hard work of the students when one of the students excels. People accept that because there is a mile of an age difference between the people involved and the parties involved don't really care about who is getting the recognition.
In the corporate world when this happens among peers, things get nasty and a chain of unwanted reaction follow. This made me gasp in wonder, Why in this world we do find people who want to say they are smart but in fact their recognised smartness is the fruit of somebody'shard work.
I am ending this blog here. But this has come out of sheer frustration. I really am for the people who work hard and not the so called smart ones.
Go Hard Man..

Different guys - Different Mentalities
It is hard to find alter ego (s) in this world. But for the past few months I have been meeting or talking to people who are almost 100% replicas of mine. Is this a co-incidence or Is this a change of fate or Is this what we call Chaos or If it is not any of these, then what is this?
Let me share my ordeal with different people, who I think as my alter-ego in this blog
The names of the people have been encrypted. De-crypt the names and pass it in the comments of the post if you can?
Obzfljiusbl,
Obz was calm, cautious when I first met him. I never knew I would become his best bum in a matter of few months, after having met him at a place which is 15000 kms from where I am now. One meeting and after that all communications happened through the modern version of Graham Bell's invention. It was nice at the start and got interesting as time passed by. Our discussion area would delve around work, work place and suddenly whistle past, the mentality of the menials in our industry, the mediocrity of the higher ups and the insipidities of the elite. It be comes really difficult to work with Idiots. I had almost come to a conclusion that are all higher ups are just idiot boxes saying YES to their higher ups.
But I was to be proven wrong suddenly and immediately by these two guys Rvob and Apsfg..
Rvob is a person of self esteem. He is the second person who almost reflects me in persona and thinking. He is a constant learner, . Identifies the potentials of the team members. But He is not always successful in getting things done by his team mates. Aggressiveness is one thing that is very hard to find in him. That is his positive and negative as well. He knows that people are lying to him yet he does not protest or try to corner them. He wants the people to correct themselves. And I think that is the positive part of not being aggressive. Some people try to exploit his non-aggressiveness and leverage unduly. This is the negative part of his not being aggressive. That made me think that We should be aggressive at times to get the work done by the team members.
But I was proven wrong again. This time by Apsfg.
He is simply perfect . He is real life dark horse. He knows how to handle the hardest of the situation and the hardest of the people. My association with him has made me re-visit many of the principles that I have delved upon, so far in my life. It took sometime for me to understand why he did somethings and why he did not do somethings. As I started establishing a strong connection with him, I got to understand his actions.
Here are some examples of the ideologies that I had to re-visit.
Any given situation, I would take a decision quickly. At least that is what I thought of myself. But after seeing him work through things, I realized that I took decision in haste and not quickly. Manier times my hasty decision has backfired on me. He would not come to me and say that I made a wrong decision. Instead he would not say anything and that would actually make me feel so bad. I myself knew that I had done something wrong and correct myself the next time. I started to observe how he handled a situation. Any given situation, he tries to understand the premises before tackling the actual solution. Though this sounds quite plain and simple, I never did that and I felt it was something that I should learn from him. Once I started to follow his way of tackling problems, the results were awe inspiring.
The next one is the ideology that I inherited from my mom and I was once again made to re-visit this. I have been a conformist all my life and I have always thought that being a conformist is a the right way of living. But after seeing him I got to know that it is not good to be a conformist always. I was not totally in support the idea first. But he did prove that being a conformist is good, but we should be non-conformists at times to survive.
There are a lot of things, I can write about the above people. I will try to write those in my future blogs. That is it for now.
