I love you all my adoring readers.

It was a late post. I just keep thinking and drafting through the mind. I seriously have no idea how to write it, particularly this post.

Oh my gosh!

I could not believe it. Things happen so fast. I feel, when you concentrate on the work, the results will gonna be far better. This tiny momentum makes me goosebump.

Again these lines, I have to say to myself and my readers too. For a writer or any profession, these valuable tiny achievements are good and required. But the next day, we must get back to our work. This is what I keep on saying to myself.

I feel really happy. I started knowing very well. What it takes to be a life-long writer?

I would define, two words.

  1. Sincerity
  2. Dedication.

Matters a lot.

Of course, there are certain gaps in my blog posts, there are reasons too. Finally, it’s gaps are inevitable. I felt bad. Though, I’m writing with consistency. But I still wanna make more adjustments.

Because everyday morning, when I jumped out of the bed. I started thinking about the content. Which one should I have to write/which one should I have to share?

More often, when I started drafting, things will end up in chaos. But I still have to find away. I just console myself and I started searching a way to do more.

To the readers, you cannot give something ( as throwing words). I keep on asking myself,

Will the content gonna be meaningful?

Will it make a profound impact?

Is it valuable?

As a writer, what are you giving (the words) to the readers?

Pay’s off.

Even I personally could not accept the mistakes (grammatical and other stuff) in my posts. I’m gonna take a challenge to avoid the errors.

Since day one of writing, I stumbled a lot. Today, to this particular post, I feel a bit balanced with regards to writing.

My heart feels too happy. But my brain itching for tomorrow’s contents. I think, it normal for all the writers. Let’s be and stay happy.

Let’s do (write) whatever it takes. This is what successful people do every day.

Thank you almighty.

Thank you all. My most respected readers.

 

With respect.

 

 

SIX MONTHS HAS BEEN OVER IN 2020:

This content is special to me. Because I could evaluate myself and this content will make an impact on readers too. When I started writing last year this same content, I felt good because I could able to see where am I. Over the last 3 years, I pay more attention to every resolution that I made every year. And every year, at the end of the 6th month and every last month of the year. I pay deep attention, regarding what I had done.

Since the 1st of January, we all made New Year resolutions to achieve. Half-a-year has been over.

This is the moment we need to evaluate our self.

How far our progress since January?

How far we widened our learning curve?

Are we still in the path towards what we had planned?

What plans worked so far?

What plans that aren’t working?

What is still pending?

What is the impact of every resolution (plan)?

Along with self-evaluation. We can start doing new things too.

At this pandemic moment, we are struggling and surveying. But we must look forward to exploring more. There is no compromise. We have to take care of our passion and we need to start working towards it. Things are gonna be okay.

I heard this statement several times in my life.

“Nothing is permanent, everything is temporary”.

Includes this pandemic too.

The most primary step is, we have to be safe and pre-cautious on our health.

I think we should not wait for things to become normal. Rather, we can develop hope. Let’s keep a bright hope. This is also the moment, we can think a lot more about the goals and plans.

Shall we take this time as a learning platform?

In these drastic times, I think most of us are doing work from home. And some of them are also free too. So, we might able to save plenty of time. Just allocate a set of time for doing new stuff. We could get into deep down on several things.

To be Practical, we have lot of things to do in normal day’s right!

Let’s do at this moment.

Let’s say that’s okay.

Let’s strive with this moment.

Let’s learn not to give up on this moment.

 

With respect.

 

 

7 PICS TELLS YOU HOW TO LEARN AI?

This is the critical way to share it in the pictures. But my point is, either pictures or through words. I must convey in a legible manner. I’m also one of the curious guys to learn AI also started analysing the impact about the AI too. Quite frankly, I must admit that I am in a beginner stage to learn AI. Although, quite seriously I should take a step to learn too. I cannot say there is no possibility of learning. I believe there are few ways in which I was doing right now to learn either you can learn from AI reports, articles from World Economic Forum and Stanford University’s AI Index report and even more our favourite reading books Harvard Business Review books and experts those who written and observing and learning from AI start-ups and you have a look at what every sector are doing with AI and what would be the impact. Finally, watching documentaries.

Usually, I do share in five pics. Eventually, it goes to seven. That’s okay. These seven are the most important one. I could not reduce it. There is no way of reducing it too.

My point is, every pic never tells you how to learn AI. Only my first will tells you that’s it. But the next upcoming pics will be quite different with use cases, landscapes, how it works, categories, Chatbot.

Please correct me, if I’m wrong. I have no overconfidence. I more often find ways to do more. That’s it. I felt lucky and deserved too to post this content. I’m still working more and more.

In this Fourth Industrial Revolution, these are the important fields we got an opportunity to learn. There is nothing wrong with learning. If you felt curious or you feel a catchy phrase that sounds like you need to know. Or whatever it is. That’s fine. Let’s learn and deliver (write).

Without any hesitation, I will assure you all. You can learn something from this post.

Valuable Poetry: Dreams by Langston Hughes.

Every Monday, I post valuable poems. But Unfortunately 5 days before I could not able to post. Quite seriously, I felt a bit not okay. I would love to post today. Please read and enjoy.

About the poet: A poet, novelist, fiction writer, and playwright, Langston Hughes is known for his insightful, colorful portrayals of black life in America from the twenties through the sixties and was important in shaping the artistic contributions of the Harlem Renaissance.

Hold fast to dreams 

For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.

Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.

Valuable books: Reorder Your Routine With These 12 Books On Minimalism & Simplicity.

I started creating this habit. Whenever I took a topic or something important will gonna impact my life. Foremost, I do research on books and articles. Without any second thought, I will happily purchase a book through Kindle or physical book. The last couple of days, you people can notice my blog posts. I started posting about minimalism and its impactful articles and pics.

A year before I wrote a small post on The Habit of Minimalism. But I still keep engaging with minimalism. Quite honestly, I started loving it. Precisely, the things that distract me. Or sometimes, we don’t know what’s important. In that particular moment, we can have a wide look in and around. Let’s give a self-talk or pep talk.

What is actually there?

What we are using?

Let’s ask these two questions.

More often, I would say, this is the right time about what we have and we supposed to have. We must able to differentiate things. We should not collect a lot of things.

Better we can think, is it truly required?

Knowing and realising what’s more important, rather than keeping glamorous/unimportant things. I was too keen to look forward to minimalism. Over the last just two days, I started segregating the pieces of stuff in my workplace too. So, these 12 books I took from Pinterest. I will paste the source link down below. Please visit further. Also, I will paste my blog post link about minimalism which I wrote a year before.

I sincerely encourage you all to have an eagle eye on minimalism.

VALUABLE BOOKS: PETER F.DRUCKER’S BOOKS.

Annotation 2020-06-05 004431We could not neglect the books. Books are very special and unique to us. If someone recommends me a book, I never see, whether will it is relevant to me or not. I will start reading. Such a curious reader I am. If books were written by legends or experts, there is no question you must buy and read. Whenever I saw a people, foremost, I see their books and their speeches too. That is what makes me inspired every time.

Over the last two days, we had seen Drucker’s rules for ambitious and leadership. This post will deal with books. Drucker has written 39 books. They were mostly about management, economy, polity and society, but there were two novels among them. His books have been translated into more than thirty-six languages. Two are novels, one an autobiography. He is the co-author of a book on Japanese painting and made eight series of educational films on management topics. He also penned a regular column in the Wall Street Journal for 10 years and contributed frequently to the Harvard Business Review, The Atlantic Monthly, and The Economist.

Let’s pick one by one and read.

Let’s apply our knowledge.

I’m quite happy to share.

VALAUBLE LESSONS: PETER DRUCKER ON LEADERSHIP:

What are Peter Drucker’s lessons for leaders?

The word “Leadership”. To me personally, it wasn’t an ordinary word or an easy one. When I was a leader in my final year undergraduate days, I felt the pain and pleasure of being a leader. I struggled a lot. I lost at important moments. I had few victories too. But, the burning desire within me. Till now, I feel like, I still wanna build my leadership traits. It wasn’t enough at all. So, this article is my absolute favourite one. One of my leadership guru, Robin Sharma’s words “To lead without a title”. More often, I believe leaders are the legends. We must honour them. No matter, if a leader won or not. Because a leader has given his/her fullest potential until the last moment.

If you are in a position, being as a leader. The first step should be your step. Once, your team players started depending on you. You need to balance yourself and your team too. You cannot simply hold the position as it is. A leader has to adjust the team. There are success and failures occurs simultaneously. Both success and failures are absolute required one to learn. In fact, as a leader, if you failed, the real critical challenge starts. People around will drag you down. They might say, will you quit as a leader for this setback?

So, you must have plan-B to execute and you need to build your team again. You must create a strong belief upon you among your team. I personally think these are few set of ways, every leader has to act.

Even today, I feel like, I was curious to search more. Here, what makes me share this one?

“Leadership” is a very important one in this era.

I’m gonna share from five Drucker’s lesson for leaders from an article written by Ronald E. Riggio, Ph.D. I gonna paste the source link down below. I sincerely encourage you all to visit further.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Ronald E. Riggio, Ph.D., is the Henry R. Kravis Professor of Leadership and Organizational Psychology at Claremont McKenna College.

Online:

Kravis Leadership Institute website, Twitter

In his new book, Drucker on Leadership, my friend, Bill Cohen, a student and colleague of Peter Drucker, extracts the leadership lessons that he learned from this great thought leader. Here are the lessons that Bill uncovered:

  1. Strategic planning is the first priority of the leader. Drucker believed that the leader’s job was to create the desired future for the company or the organization. The leader needed to be intimately involved with the strategic direction.
  2. Ethics and integrity are critical for leader effectiveness. Character and ethical behavior are of central importance for the leader. According to Drucker, followers might forgive leaders for mistakes, but will not forgive a lack of integrity.
  3. Model the military. Peter Drucker had great respect for how the military developed leadership, with an emphasis on character and leaders as positive role models. The military’s emphasis on commitment and “taking care of your people” are examples of what Drucker admired about military leadership.
  4. Motivation: Treat employees like volunteers. Peter greatly admired nonprofit organizations, and he extracted leadership lessons from them. If a leader treats employees as if they were volunteers – free to leave at any time – the leader pays greater attention to the non-monetary needs of workers, and moves from transactional motivation to transformational motivation.
  5. Leaders should be marketers. This surprising lesson really means that leaders should be focused on the customer, and be concerned about how customers view the organization and its products or services. The leader must set the tone for how the organization is viewed, and be its best representative.

Although little of Peter Drucker’s writings focused on leadership, there are many lessons for leaders in his work. Our thanks to William Cohen for highlighting them.

VALUABLE LESSONS FROM MANAGEMENT LEGEND PETER F. DRUCKER’S 5 RULES FOR THE AMBITIOUS.

dc3b85f236c9acc9dd6aabf4c443bff9

Let’s recall with honour, the management legend, Peter F. Drucker. When I was doing my undergraduate in my college days, my professor Sundaramoorthy taught us principles of management. My professor talked more about Henri Fayol and Peter F. Drucker’s management principles. In that initial point, I started paying more attention on the management side. My personal initiative, as a writer, I started sharing a few points on the Essential Manager’s Manual. You can see Saturday’s blog post. Over the last 2 months, I could not. I came back to my hometown. Probably, I should carry the manual. Unfortunately, I couldn’t.

A few weeks before, I decided to share the legendary Drucker’s principles. The first thing I have done is, searching for Drucker’s documentary on YouTube. I saw a few videos. Then I started searching Drucker’s management and decided to write the experiences the way I came into the management. There are enormous management principles to share. Foremost, I would like to go with “Rules for the Ambitious”.

Finally, I sincerely encourage you all to read Drucker’s books. It’s extremely informative.

I’m gonna paste the source link down below. I sincerely encourage you all to visit further.

Drucker’s 5 Rules for the Ambitious

Drucker’s Rules for the Way to the Top

Drucker followed several rules which included ideas from strategy, sales, and marketing.

  1. Hit’em Where They Ain’t

Drucker called the first rule “Hit’em Where They Aint.”  Named for an old-time baseball player, “Wee Willie Keeler,” who made the Baseball Hall of Fame not by hitting home runs, but by his batting average which holds records even today, eighty years later.

His strategy was simple: hit the ball to parts of the field not well protected by opposing players either because the player was less skillful or had a habit of not fully covering a part of his assigned area on the baseball field.

Every batter tried for fame by hitting the thrown pitch of a ball with his bat as hard as he could and trying for a home run. Wee Willie Keeler instead strived to hit the ball to areas of the outfield that were ill-protected. He “Hit’em Where They Ain’t.” It’s like the now famous, “Blue Ocean Strategy.” Go where the competition is not.

  1. Take the Lessons from one Industry and Apply Them to Another

Drucker maintained that major advances in any field or in industry usually came from someone bringing it from another field or industry and he applied this principle. For example, in his book Management Challenges for the 21st Century he wrote “the management of people is a marketing job.” He did not mean only to incorporate the persuasion of a salesperson, he meant the whole of marketing including considerations of all marketing aspects that must be included in the management situation including marketing strategy and planning.

  1. Be Your Own CEO

Drucker maintained that you need to be the one in charge of your career. This means that you look at the facts and do the analysis and you make and take responsibility for the decisions which you make. If you think that you need additional training or education, you don’t sit around waiting for someone else in your organization to make that decision to send you somewhere to get it.

Take whatever action to get what you think necessary yourself. Don’t take actions or various jobs solely because others have been successful that way. Think it through and make your own decisions. Drucker frequently attempted the impossible and achieved the extraordinary as an outcome

  1. Follow the Way of Innovation

Make your plans to be a change leader and innovate as you proceed on your journey. You must innovate. It is essential for your progress and like an organization that does not innovate, no matter how successful that you are currently, you will ultimately fail if you do not.

  1. Apply the Concepts of Marketing and Sales to Your Career

Drucker meant these should be applied as if coming from another industry. He devoted an entire course once to a subject that he called “Marketing Yourself to Your Boss.”

He was serious about this. I still recall him saying that you first had to agree with your boss on what your job was and if possible to get it in writing, and then you were to discover how your boss preferred to communicate. Drucker said that all of us prefer to communicate in one of two ways: either in writing or verbally. He went on to say it was critically important to communicate with the boss in the way in which he or she preferred.

He did not recommend participating in office politics and even avoided faculty meetings almost entirely for this reason. If you want to emulate Drucker and have an interest in reaching the very top, consider how you might apply these rules in your own career. They can be followed by anyone who has the ambition and willingness to go as far as the can in a profession.
