Never have I seen this world Unity

World seems to be united to fight the oncoming recession (if I may call it so) -- the financial turmoil... It has been a coordinated effort....

Never have I seen such a will and effort in past ......

Doesn't that remind of world becoming more FLAT

Buy US / EU

13th October 2008
The valuations of the companies in US and UK have gone so low that suddenly there will be interest by the cash rich organizations to pick up stake.
If I have got tempted to pick up some shares or some stake, I am sure big corporates would be trying their level best to get some cheap picks (value buying)
This phenomenon will exist for the next 6 months...
RBI gives individual to remit 200,000 $ a year for investing in overseas market.....

Caveat: Be sure that the profits you get should not be lost with currency changes ... :)

RESILIENT PEOPLE

Possible Attributes of Resilient People: (TOM PETERS / NASEEM NICHOLAS TALEB - THE BLACK SWAN) (here)

Inner calm (Buddhist-like?); think Tiger Woods

High self-knowledge ("comfortable in own skin")

Breadth of experience - drove a cab, worked construction, ran Alaska tours ... not just a variety of assignments in a traditional career progression.

Sense of, "Ah, my moment" (e.g., Giuliani)

Lover of modestly controlled chaos (bored amidst calm-e.g., FDR)

Reach out effortlessly to a wide variety of people (in general and on the fly)

Bizarrely energetic

Known for integrity, in the sense of "straight shooter"

Hires resilient people per se in key positions! (All senior leadership roles?

Sense of humor

Empathy ("I feel your pain")

"Cruelty" (Must make tough decisions instantaneously, without looking back; not "confident," but overwhelming sense of urgency to press ahead)

Decisive, but not rigid

Strong individual, equally strong team player

Understands the chain of command - and evades it as necessary

Comfortable being challenged by thinkers, but a strong "doer" bias overall

A person of Hope (religious or "religious-like"?)

Not necessarily: ex-college quarterback with a history of comebacks (Why: All within the rules, within the context of that which has been practiced) - Innovator and ability to redefine oneself again and again

Better(??): Ocean sailboat racer; ER doc; public health doc; astronaut; combat experience; hostage negotiator; survived in hopeless circumstances through guile and grit; seeks "independent duty"

Tests: Have the lights "unexpectedly" go out during an employment interview, followed by fire alarm, etc; focus on resilience per se in reference checks

Bizarrely true !!!!!!!  -- resonates exactly what I think. It feels as if someone just put words to every inch in which I believed in.  I love and believe in each word... I feel as if this is the truth that I have been looking for to be stated and has now been revealed :)

Trading, guns and money

A true insight in what goes in traders minds

and in what era what was going on and how Greenspan's playing tennis was linked with Bourses and derivatives :)

Have you ever looked at the face of the players who win events in current Olympics

Its HAPPINESS

This is IN ACTION

Am PROUD OF ............

What do we (Indians) have more than a RICH CULTURE?

 

I was seeing some show the other day and there was a Question that needed folks to answer what are you proud about INDIA (Indians)?

And astonishingly there was only one answer and that was RICH CULTURE.

I ask --- What has this culture given you?  What have you learnt from this and how do you gain from this?  -- How do you become what you are today by this?

Is there nothing else about India or the Indians that you are proud of?  Don't you have any other thought about India or Indians....

 

I ask you -- I ask everyone... LET ME KNOW.. Please answer .....

                                                -------------------------------

Today I want to be ALONE

Today I want to be ALONE

Sit myself alone ... Have a coffee ... Think about things ... Enjoy my time... Be contemplative ... Reflect upon things ...

 

I just want to be ALONE and plan for myself ... Put in some efforts and take it from there... LIVE and KICKING

 

Yep this happens but believe me its good to happen ...

NOW WHAT

I wanted to get this written on back of my visiting card.... (here)

This is how I think :) (here)

Changes - Reforms 1991 / 2008

I don't know how many of us remember 1991 and for what reasons...

I remember 1991 as that was the year with the toughest IIT JEE paper.  The questions of which we used to try and solve in years to come....

1991 sent a ray of change for India.  When the then finance minister Manmohan Singh stood his ground and announced economic liberalization.  The government was anyways hanging in thin air then also :)

This event later marked the growth of Indian economy.  The growth that led to the today's image of India in the world.  Yes India is known for more than its CULTURE, its elephants or its poverty.  These are the only things that come to our mind when we speak of what we are proud about India. 

 

Thanks to Manmohan Singh we can stand up today and say we are proud of the economic growth that we have done and are doing.....

 

Today again THE MAN stands on the same platform and is trying to do his job.  Trying to change the face of India once again.  This Nuclear treaty's effects will be seen in years to come....

There may be issues but then there will be more positives and who doesnot want prosperity and growth.  Who does not want the increase in standard of living of entire nation

GO MAN GO

and yes Kick some ass too this time

              GO MAN GO

What do I strive to achieve in a discussion

Wanted to write this for a real long time... 

I feel that in any conversation, in any discussion, in any Business initiative or in any problem solving I try to get a grip on the highest order thought.  

With this I mean the thought (the intention - the purpose) behind this initiative - this case.  When understood the higher order thought or need then the other things are governed by the same thought and thus fall and follow the natural path

This is the thought that I like to first find and then propagate.  Once this thought is propagated to the team members then the task is simple.  It is only with this thought that you can govern the other things to come.

Hence I always try to ask what is the larger purpose... Get a purpose and spell it out...

 

Yes it seems as if I am reiterating the thought GET a VISION --> Spell it out and then move forward.
