Are Women Alone in Corporate Race?

With the increase in, prices everywhere, cost of living going up, now a days it has become quiet common, that we are finding increasing number of working women everywhere. The change in the mind set of the modern men, and especially younger generation is one of the other causes for increase in the number of working women. Gone are the days when we used to find few working women in comparison to men, now we find equal number of women working in the corporate sector, when compared to previous days.

Modern women are driven by dreams and are passionate about creating their own identity and want to have their own recognition and value. It is a fact, that we find few women, holding key positions in the corporate sectors, reasons may be many, but lack of qualification, competence, experience, or guts is definitely not the question, because, when and wherever they are given a chance to do so, they have proved it over and again that they are equally and even more competent than men in discharging their duties, and have always proven to be best.

There is need for more refined, matured and transparent thinking, in this aspect, in the corporate world. And it would be welcome change, when a day will show up, when this will not be a topic for discussion any more. Let’s hope that day will come soon.

Why Goal Setting is Important in Life?

There are many people in the world, who have no direction in life; they have no specific goals to achieve, dreams to fulfill, and missions to accomplish. You think it is necessary to set goals to move ahead in life; well I have a few reasons, catch on.

Goals help you to stay focused, when you don't know where to put your energy and invest your brains, nothing can be achieved. Instead when you know where you want to go, and what you want to achieve, you focus your energy and all your capacities, to fulfill those goals. So no goals, no focus.

When you start a journey with the destination in mind, you can measure as to how far you have traveled, when you will reach, how much time it will take etc. But when you don't know where you want to go which place to reach there is no point that you will count on your stages. When you want to achieve a specific, defined goal, it becomes easy for you to take measure of your progress, so to set a goal is necessary to measure your progress.

Goals give us a meaning to life, when you have something to achieve, you life seems meaningful, when you have some purpose in life and you live to fulfill that purpose; it acts like a guidance for our life. When you are not going in a specific direction you are going anywhere and everywhere your life becomes a disaster you don't know at what curve you have face the danger, or what awaits you on the next stage. Goals give us a purpose to live life.

Only when you have goals to accomplish in life, do you need to plan, to fulfill those goals and utilize the resources you are blessed with. You plan your minutes, hours, days, months, and years only when you have goals to achieve and are passionate to achieve them. You utilize to the best all the resources, and capabilities that you have, dig into your best self, and take out all the potential and talent, only when you have goals.

So, I believe, these reasons are just enough for each one of us to set our goals and give a direction to our life.

Goal and Team

When you are at individual level, you are the one, responsible for achieving and realizing your dreams. But when you expand your dreams to the level of organization, or business, your team is equally, and to state the fact, even more important, to realize your dreams. So the bigger your dream, the more important role your team has to play, in realizing them.

When in an organizational level, you think of realizing your goals, and achieving success, it becomes equally important, that, your goals become the goals of your team. Unless they have sense of belongingness and identify their goals with yours, it becomes highly impossible to get the best out of them. So make sure that, when you set goals at the organizational level, your team also participates, and have their word, as to how they can contribute towards the goal, or discuss constrains if any, and have a solution for it.

Once you know, what your goals are, and where do you want to see yourself, you need to assess the capabilities of the team members, to see, if they coincide with the requirement, if not you have to take steps to make improvements in the required areas, and fill in the gaps. So at every level of the organization, people, as a team, play a very significant and important role, towards achieving and realizing organizational, dreams and goals.

People, who understand this fact, encourage, help and guide each other during their journey towards achieving goals and progress together as a team. The greater and bigger your goals and dreams, the stronger your team work should be, and the greater you team members should be. So teamwork plays a very important role, when your goals and dreams are greater and bigger.

Your Thoughts Shape Your Future

‘As a man thinketh so he becomes’ is an axiom, that holds true to each human beings life. Humans are the only creatures that are blessed with the power to think. Mahatma Gandhi said ‘A man is but a product of thoughts’. Thoughts are the determining factors of our life; we can either use them constructively, for our own progress, or lose control over them and allow our life to get ruined. Most of us have a feeling that we have no control over our thoughts, but it is as easy to have control over them, once you have a check on them.

If we observe carefully, our life is nothing but a reflection of our thoughts, or to put it in a better way, our thoughts are the ones that shape our life. There are some actions that take place in the body without us having to control them, like breathing etc. There are others, which we think first, and then transform them into action. But every act almost most of them, have their first origin as thought and then get transformed into action. And it is our actions that determine our life.

Our minds are similar to computers; we all have different kinds of soft wares installed in our minds, that are different kind of thoughts or thinking patterns, in our minds. You install different kinds of soft wares to perform different kinds of activities. Likewise we need to adapt the kind of thinking process or thoughts, to achieve different kind of results. If you want to be successful and happy, you need to have thoughts that coincide with them, if you want to be rich; your thoughts should be like that of a rich person. If you want to be a pioneer or a topper in your field, your thoughts should be like the one.

So, first determine what you want to be, how you want to be, then check your thoughts, if your thoughts coincide with the kind of results you want to produce well and good if not you to re install and replace your software, with the kind of output you want. As simple as that, once you know, how you can shape your thoughts to help you achieve your goals, believe me my friend the whole world is yours. Because ‘Thoughts determine actions, and actions determine your life’ so, have a check on your thoughts, to have a check on your life.
