On the fast track

ABC company received several new orders and decided to fast track recruitment. Khushi turned up for an interview, she was ushered in and made to wait in the reception. The interviewer was called to take her interview. Rohit though surprised to be called for taking the interview left all his work and came down. There were several people like Khushi so Neha from HR thought perhaps somebody else in HR might have called Khushi. Since recruitment was the "flavour of the day" the interview was arranged at a short notice. Rohit found Khushi to be slitghtly lacking in skills though but thought that it could be covered in the on the job training, Neha who took the HR interview also felt the same. Neha informed that they were doing fast track recruitment which meant that there was no medical test. There was a "track" a straight strip of land outside there building a brisk jog across the track was the medical test for the "fast track" recruitment.  Khushi made the cut with her run as the appointment letter was presented to her as she reached the other end. Khushi accepted the letter and joined the company. She was worried about where she will stay, when she will get het bank account etc.. To add to the confusion she was told to undergo many training programs. Such was the rush of people in the company that as Khushi joined she got invites to several meetings at the same time. Due to limited meeting rooms availability she was surprised to see location of one meeting as "Pillar No. 4, basement". Khushi randomly selected meetings to attend and completed tests as part of training with "help" from other new hires. According to her this was in line with the company policy expalined by HR during orientation as "help each other". It was not a comfortable experience for Khushi as she juggled between assignments, meetings and training. She tried contacting Rohit several times but he always informed he was busy. A year into the job she felt enough was enough and decided to quit. She called  Rohit that she was leaving the company and wanted to speak to him. Rohit called her to a meeting room. Khushi informed Rohit that she had tried to speak to him during her interview and later when she joined the company that she had actually come for an interview to the company next to ABC's building and came into the ABC's building as there was no board outside, security sent her to reception they asked if had come for interview and then it went on. It was only when she got the appointment letter that it dawned on her, but she thought that may be she could manage and joined the company. Rohit was expecting to interview a candidate the next day and was surprised person landed that day but did not suspect anything. Rohit wished Khushi the very best for her new job in another company.

Stress disappears when we render unconditional service to humanity

M N Kundu HT Innervoices, 10 Nov 2018
We are living in an era of stress There a gross misconception that stress, to some extent, is essential as it motivates and accelerates performance. Optimum stress is required for shaping us.
The Gita suggests "The origin of creatures is shrouded in mystery, so is the fag end, only the little middle is known. Why should be aggrieved for  the unknown future?"
The best course is to do our best and surrender the outcome to the Almighty. Pray for best performance, inspiration and motivation from the Almighty.
Excessive obsession with desires invites suffering and stress. Unselfishness and un conditional love for everybody without any expectation of any return uproots all stress and opens the gateway to happiness and peace, irrespective of external happenings. 

Doors

When one door closes
another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully
upon the closed door
that we do not see the one that has opened for us.
-Alexander Graham Bell

Cherish

Cherish positive moments instead of concentrating our attention on negative happenings.
When our desire is not the lord's desire we should change our desire or wait patiently for the right time.

Team

A good team exhibits its best qualities under duress.

Hair and nail

Our hopes and dreams are like hair and nail how many times they are cut they grow again.

Down in dumps

If a person is down in the dumps its easy to push them down further. The difficulty is in giving a helping hand and bringing the person out of it and work for their success.

Persistence

Persistence and hard work construct the bridge that connects your dreams to reality.

Steady efforts transforms all kinds of obstacles into opportunities.

Embrace your dreams and advance as high as they can take you...!!

Success

Hero

A hero is an ordinary individual who finds strength to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.

Difficult Times

When you face difficult times, know that challenges are not sent to destroy you. They are sent to promote, increase and strengthen you.
Joel Osteen

Mind

The mind is like water when its turbulent its difficult to see, when its calm everything is clear

Success

When we get rejected or fail its in those moments we have the greatest opportunity
to reflect re fuel and refocus
and our truest potential starts taking birth,
in our pain we find our greatest power
Success is built on failure, frustration and fears that you have to overcome.

Never fear a bad experience

Never fear a bad experience. It can teach you an important lesson.

Birinder Sandhu
Pain is one of the most unwelcome sensations, but does not lack purpose. In fact time stands proof that it has been one of the greatest teachers. As much as it hurts and make us break down, it aslo toughens and strengthens us, making us rise like the phoenix from its ashes soaring higher and greater heights.
It is one of the most unavoidable lessons of life, for we could never appreciate the good from the bad whether its a reationship, a friend, a job or a place. None of us are immune to pain, which comes in the form of disappointments, breakups and failure but if we reminisce, we realise that it made us tenacious and resilient in many possible ways.
Whatever goes up must come down and whatever goes down will come up. So never fear pain, as in the moment it will seem never ending but it eventually goes away leaving you enriched with experience. Just like iron is moulded and beaten and a thousand times to be shaped into a beautiful ship that sails through smooth and rough seas and touches innumerable parts of the world gifting and receiving many a treasures that have helped enrich the world.

Nick Vujicic

In 1982 Nick Vujicic was born without arms and legs
No one believed he could ever amount to anything...
At birth Nick's lack of limbs came as a complete shock...
for both his parents and the doctors
My mum said, "Take him away - I don't want to see him."
They took me home, but it took three to four months for my mother to come to terms with it."
While growing up Nick struggled mentally, emotionally and physically
He learned to use his foot for writing and walking but still...
the other kids bullied him because of his unusual appearance
My parents said ignore them, but I didn't want to be special. I just wanted arms and legs too and to be like everyone else
When Nick was 10 years old he attempted suicide
"I felt I had no value, and I thought I would always be a burden to my parents and never get married"
His parents told him
You don't know what you can achieve until you try it
He took that advice to heart
he learned to swim and fish
...surf and snowboard
He plays golf
and plays the drums
Overcoming every obstacle he's faced with
When he was 30 he married the love of his life
Today they have 4 children
Proving to the world that you don't need limbs to follow your dreams
His life changed after meeting another boy with no arms or legs...
They shared experiences and Nick knew he could help him
That's when he realized his calling in life was to help others
He started motivational speaking when he was 19 years old
I have the choice to be angry at God for what I don't have, or be thankful for what I do have

For every disability you have you are blessed with more than enough abilities...
to overcome your challenges

If you can't get a miracle become one

Nick has also founded an international non-profit organization called life without limbs...
through which he campaigns against bullying

I wish many things were different in my life. But knowing I can be a miracle for someone else makes my life worth living.

No matter how you're born, you can achieve anything

Failure

Failure is not the end, it's the start of your comeback story...

Hurt
