About "Creating Work Life Balance" topic:

Work-Life Balance does not mean an equal balance. Trying to schedule an equal number of hours for each of your various work and personal activities is usually unrewarding and unrealistic. Life is and should be more fluid than that.

This topic is really focused on creating balance between who we are and what we do.  Who are you?  Are you, your job, your family, or a combination of the roles that you have in your life?  We are multi-faceted human beings. To really life life to the fullest of our potential we have to create balance in the multiple facets of our lives.

What I've learned from working with my clients is that too many ignore the influence that their personal life has on their professional life and vice versa. The human being is not like a piece of furniture with separate drawers, everything is connected and each experience lived in a field impacts the other fields. How important is the impact of your life on your work and vice versa ?

'The purpose of life is to find a a life of purpose' & in my opinion, particularly in India, all common people are just striving towards serving their best to their families & the same spirit keeps things going.

HAVE. No FEAR. If you were afraid of nothing, what goals would you set? What could you accomplish? What would you do if nothing scared you or made you nervous? Fear stops success. For example, a woman who wants to get married, but she is afraid of men. So she does not get married. Or she marries someone who is wrong for her, just because he does not scare her. If you want to run a business, you will fail if you are afraid of making big decisions. If you want to be a doctor, you cannot be afraid of sick people. If you want to succeed as an athlete, you cannot be afraid of hard, painful practice. Fear of anything can ruin your success: fear of rejection, fear of being excluded, fear of anger,...

How many times have you heard someone say, 'I've been working like a dog!' or 'My boss is working me like a dog!' The idea is that if you want to be successful then you will be forced to work long hours doing something you don't like to do. Working like a dog sounds like a tiresome, serious, and joyless affair, without a hint of laughter, fun, or play. However, before you ever use the phrase 'work like a dog' again, take a moment to think about how your own dog actually spends his days. In actuality, your dog has a pretty good life, and it would be your lucky day if you could work like your dog! Everything is new, everything is exciting, everything is fun to your dog. Dogs are great role mo...

The group (headed by Sh. Prakash Tandon) was appointed in July 1974 which was to frame guidelines for follow-up of bank credit and submitted its final report during 1975 and gave following recommendations, applicable to borrowers availing fund based working capital limits of Rs. 10 lac or more: Norms for inventory and receivables Norms for 15 major industries proposed by the committee now have more than 50 disintegrated industry groups. Normally the borrower would not be allowed deviations from norms except in case of bunched receipt of raw material, power cuts, strikes, transport delays, accumulation of finished goods due to non-availability of shipping space for exports, build up of finished goods stocks due to failure on the part of purchasers. For those units which are not covered by the norms, past trends to be made the basis of assessment of working capital.

It’s true that practice makes the man perfect. It was my stint with the leading life insurance company of India under tremendous sales pressure which helped me in learning new tricks of this trade. I have sold thousands of policies in last two and half years. For me, it’s very easy to identify in only two minutes, whether the customer is really serious in doing some investment or he has just called for information gathering activity. I have been the top performer and given various prizes. I have the reputation of converting 7 out of 10 clients if the customer has money in his pocket. I have earned lot of respect and money in this industry. At some occasions I picked policies worth million in just 10 minutes. I have never followed customer more than 2 times. I think any sales people must do that. I have habit of closing the deal at the discussion table in the first meeting with the client. Secret of my success is hard work and dedication. I have never given up. Each policy that I...

Hello friends, Sharing you with you an interesting blog posted on TalentEquity.in about how to be cheerful at workplace. Kindly share your views on this. "This is the beginning of a new year and is a right time to take stock of your work life. We take many resolutions to make our personal and professional life better and more disciplined. Well, I am not going to discuss on resolutions and their follow ups. However one thing which is very important at work is to be cheerful and happy. This not only set positive vibration around you but also establishes you as being someone who is in control, smooth, relaxed, confident and mature. So be cheerful all the time. What if a project has failed, boss has given not-so-good feedback. What if you have not got on-site opportunity this year. Salary increment and promotion is still pending. It’s still no reason to loose your smile. Whatever your situation is things will get better for sure. Actually maintaining a cheerful and happy outlook is...

Financial engineering has provided innumerable lucrative opportunities for otherwise indigent mathematicians Nevertheless the turbulence in the bond markets in the last couple of months, at a time when the world economy’s prospects seemed set fair, have exposed a guilty secret of the financial engineering profession: its methods don’t work. First area of failure is liquidity. Theoretically, if financial engineers design ever fancier artificial securities and derivatives, but everybody uses the same mathematical models to value them, there is no reason why an active market should not operate in the securities, at whatever price the models direct. In practice this only works in calm markets. In times of market turbulence, when doubts arise about either the mathematical models themselves or the underlying assets from which value is derived, the true value of these artificial assets becomes thoroughly unclear. Buyers assess their value at the lowest possible level, and refuse to...
