TIME-2 Having seen the characteristics and work-ability, let us understand how to make use of ‘Time’ as a major resource in life / business. For best results, one has to manage time intelligently – Maturity, Knowledge and Skills. When any experience is ‘unsuccessful’ , one can analyse the ‘Time-factor’ first, for three distinguishable aspects.

TIME-1 (Recall our earlier discussion-01 August- on TEMMBO analysis) One of the 3 primordial factors for our Life & Experience - Time, Space & Causation. ‘Time’ is the most powerful of the three. It is omniscient; Omnipresent; omnivalent. Functionally, ‘Time’ is independent of - but influential on -  everything. Therefore, it has gained paramount importance and reverence in our life.

( I remember a poem during my school days) A mountain, with lot of vanity due ...

BIZ strength from  SATSANG: My school teacher used to re-iterate: “If you are surrounded by Achievers, the chances are you to become an Achiever; If you are surrounded by Mediocre, all the time, the chances are that you become a Mediocre’. My last 35 years of social experience and group activities have totally convinced me on this point! I have worked with many teams and a good variety. But I have noticed something unique in ...

SABARIMALA trip: My first pilgrimage to Sabarimala was invigorating. As a young student of Engineering, it did not appeal to me. But 15 years later, as a Biz man, I started appreciating, with professional enthusiasm. The process of going on pilgrimage to Sabarimala itself is a workshop for ‘Project Mgt.’ students! 45 days of orientation, goal setting, planning, risk provisions, time mgt, resource mgt, team work, organizational discipline, enthusiasm  and to top it all ‘Focus ...
