Travel with your thoughts

Yes, its true that your THOUGHTS travel; they do have a starting point and reaches to a specific destination. But as it is said that “nothing comes free in this world” so as your thoughts. These are accompanied by many other things along with. To make this clear I quote a poem of an unknown author.

The author says:

“Be careful of your thoughts, for your thoughts become your words.
Be careful of your words, for your words become your actions.
Be careful of your actions, for your actions become your habits.
Be careful of your habits, for your habits become your character.
Be careful of your character, for your character becomes your destiny."
---Author unknown

Here is my interpretation of the poem:

"Be careful of your thoughts, for your thoughts become your words."

Our words are dependent on our thoughts; what ever we think it constructs back into words which shows the taste of our thoughts. It is only our feeling about what we think and what we say; resultant nature is ours only. The thought travel can be with conscious or unconscious mind.

"Be careful of your words, for your words become your actions."

The second halt in the travel time comes on the result of the kind of words we use; whether we are using harsh or soft language which will in turn affect our body language. So in short our actions are result of our words used.

"Be careful of your actions, for your actions become your habits."

Our habits are developed cause of our Actions. For eg: if our action is to scold someone and complete our work and if the same technique is repeated with everyone this becomes our habit. So, our repeated actions become our habit; be it on positive or negative side but the more repeated the action will be the more strong our habit will be.

"Be careful of your habits, for your habits become your character."

With repetitive habits we make our own character and our personality. This is the way how people see us as a different entity which is unique from everyone. No one can feel our feelings, or can understand our thoughts; it is only our personality and our character which can be seen and judged at the outset.

"Be careful of your character, for your character becomes your destiny."

Many people belief that we make our own destiny. Every person is unique in itself and with our personality, our actions our character we create our own destiny.


It is like playing a game with ourselves where we want our each and every day to be better than the previous one. Risk taking and experimenting with your actions is the one thing which you can do well with the surroundings.


So, get geared up with the travel from Thoughts to Words to Actions to Habits to Character to Destiny to YOU

Restructure your Corporate Model

This is a common scenario with the corporate houses where the organizational structures are re-aligned for smoother operations in an organization. There are many compromises the Company has to do as per the requirements of the NEW management. One of the challenges faced by them would be studying the work graph of the employees and make them adjust in the new environment and accept the changes. It is said that changes are inevitable but changes should be accepted with open hands by the employees. The companies should come out of the shell of the BIG CORPORATE and should study their own SWOT and act on; the action and the analysis areas may be inside or outside their pre-determined shell. There can be lot many reasons for restructuring…be it less performance, all talks- no work, only work---no talks, no clear goal, no direction, no decision….and many more…everyone needs a change and a better change. With the advent of restructuring in the company the employee would be little skeptical as

FISH Philosophy!!!

Sometime back my colleague gave a presentation on the FISH Philosophy; it is a theory from John Christensen; which was derived by placing cameras in fish market to study the behaviour of workers working actively. As the book suggests, “When we choose to love the work we do, we can catch our limit of happiness, meaning and fulfillment every day.” The study shows how 75% of normal human life is consumed in work related areas as going to office, spending time in working and other such meagre activities and by the time Friday appears everyone sighs and says “Thank God its Friday” and gives their 100% of the energy. The promoters and writer proudly shares that this book will benefit the managers which will indeed increase employee retention and motivate people to take pride in what they do; so it says no work is small you should perform your duties with pride and enthusiasm. The story is a parable; an invented story about finding the deep source of energy, creativity and passion that exists

Building Bully- Free Workplace

In the dynamic realm of the workplace, collaboration and teamwork are crucial for success. However, sometimes this spirit of cooperation takes a dark turn when employees gang up against one particular team member. During a recent one-on-one session with a team member, I came to realize the immense importance of understanding and practicing concepts like empathy, sympathy, privacy, and secrecy. These terms may be interconnected, but they each hold their own significance. It is disheartening to witness team members struggling to fit into the competitive nature of the workplace. Do they not have their own individuality and unique perspectives? Should they not possess their own strong will? Numerous questions arise in light of this. Why do people gang up against a particular team member? Why do they feel entitled to delve into their personal issues? Can't they control their curiosity and focus on their own responsibilities? Why make fun of someone who is already going through emotional
