Two Lines

There was a old Tamil movie directed by the legendary director late Mr.K.Balachandar who was awarded the prestigious Dada Saheb Palke award. Title of the movie is 'Iru Kodugal' meaning 'Two Lines'. At the beginning of the movie, hero draws a line and asks everyone in the family to make it small without erasing it, for which nobody has a clue. The heroine comes and draws a bigger line parallel to it and the hero's line becomes small.

This is what is happening in the society also now a days, particularly by the politicians. Create a bigger issue so that  the earlier problem/scam is diverted. The problem is forgotten and everyone will be busy with the new one. To hide a problem or ones mistake, create a new one and everyone will forget the earlier one and it goes on.

However, this can be taken positively. You achieve something and make it small with the next achievement. If one starts with buying a two wheeler, the next one should be a four wheeler. After a basic model of a four wheeler, the next target should be a high end vehicle.

It can be applied in a corporate environment also. Every year the target achievement should grow, but not go down. Make the last year target achievement small by achieving more in the current year. This year achievement should become minuscule when you compare with what your are going to achieve in the next year.

Focus on growth, and make the growth grow........

PPF

There are many avenues for investments which gives tax saving also.

The foremost among all which I would suggest is Public Provident Fund (PPF) because of its least risk and safety.

Every salaried person should have this; not only for his/her tax benefit, but also for future saving. This account is opened by all public sector banks and some private banks also. One can deposit a minimum of Rs.500/- and maximum of Rs.1.50 lakhs and get tax benefit under Income Tax Act - Section 80C. This can be opened not only by the salaried persons but also by any citizen of India as a saving measure. The unique feature of this account is that no court can attach the money deposited in this account. The duration of the account is 15 years which can be extended by a block of five years. One can withdraw some portion of the savings after five years of opening the account. The withdrawal amount is exempted from tax also. The rate of interest is decided every year by the Government of India. The rate of interest may be less, but considering the tax benefit and other advantages, this investments tops in the list of investments one must have.

One must ensure to deposit the amount on or before 5th of the month to get the benefit of interest computation in same month, otherwise it will be considered in the next month only.

First spending of the month must be saving.

Save before Spending.

Communicate.........

Communication is nothing but transfer of thoughts from one person to another person. Transfer of thoughts can happen in both verbal and non-verbal modes. One should be clear in what one wants to communicate. Be clear in thoughts before communicating itself. Timing and the way of communicating are also play a vital role in successful communication. Non verbal communication is by way of signals, symbols, body language, posture, etc. Body language is very important in one to one communication.

One can become a better communicator with clear thoughts, choosing the right mode, tone, volume and body language.

Communicate when you must. 

Work hard..... also.....

Hard Work Always Pays - this is my third belief. 

Be sure about what you want. 👀

Prepare Well 💪

Be focused like Arjun's arrow ➼

Do not think about going back from your goal till you achieve it ⇍

and

Work Smarter too 🔨

then 

Success door will open for you 🔑🔓🔑

You will get what you want 👍

Problems ????????

My next belief is that " there are more than two solutions for any problem ". 

Yes, there exist more than two solutions for any problem you face. It can be - personal, official, relationship, anything, anything, just anything... sit and analyse the problem to find out the root cause of it. You will definitely get more solutions coming to your mind. 

One simple example, I had encountered yesterday. The French teacher of my younger daughter forgot to give back her French book after referring to it for something. It was kept in the class and today she had French test. What to do, getting tensed, scolding, fretting and fuming ????? for not getting the book from school.......how to solve the problem.... the solutions could be, contacting her classmate to get the pages on whatsapp, go to their house to get the pages photocopied, refer to internet for the book and the portions, refer to the French books of mine and my elder daughter for the test topics ( the portion was simple ' how to greet a person when you meet' ). See, there were many possible solutions for this problem. Finally, we chose the book and internet options to solve this. My daughter was confident after reading the books, referring to the internet and she did well in the exam.

This is applicable to any problem you face under any situation. Your immediate action should be not to get panicky. Sit in a peaceful mind and visualize the problem, its consequences and possible solutions. Find out the root cause of the problem, analyse it thoroughly, check the consequences, and you will get flow of solutions for the problem.

Now, it is up to you to choose the 

right solution / decision 

which will be more appropriate to you.  

My Blog Name

I like this caption ' Anything under the Sun is possible On this Earth'.

I came across this when I was doing my college. That time the Upper House of the Legislative Assembly was alive to elect Members of the Legislative Council ( MLCs ). There was a constituency for graduates and representative for them also. There was a contestant for this 'Graduates Constituency'. He was an industrialist, I do not remember his name. He had spent a lot on pamphlets, other materials and campaigning on explaining about his qualifications, his promises, what all he will do if he was elected, and all. I thought he would be elected, as I believed that he was well qualified and a genuine person. But finally, he lost rather got defeated in the elections. After all, he could not compete with his strong opponents backed by political parties. I think the candidate supported by AIADMK won. That was the time late Mr.MGR was the Chief Minister of Tamilnadu.

Now a small deviation from this topic: 

                             About the charisma of Mr. MGR and how it had an influence on the common people of Tamilnadu. There was an election held for Madurai Corporation to elect Municipal Councillors ( MC ). In our ward, candidates from  AIADMK, DMK and Congress ( I ) parties were contesting apart from some independents. There was a strong ground work by Congress cadre and everyone thought that the Congress candidate would win. DMK had less support, so they were lagging behind. But, there was literally no work by AIADMK candidate and he was totally dependent on Mr.MGR's visit. The day also came.......One fine evening....... just two days before the elections, Mr. MGR also came........for a full round in the ward showing his two fingers representing the symbol ' Two Leaves '. 

You still want to know the results. AIADMK candidate won with a massive lead !!!!

                            Coming back to our topic, I picked up this caption from the election campaign of that candidate from Graduates Constituency and still feel and believe that,

                    "ANYTHING UNDER THE SUN IS POSSIBLE ON THIS EARTH"

provided you have proper planning, complete focus, dedication,.... in place...........
