“E” Emerges Everything

Many important things, without which we cannot live, surround life. I was thinking about certain important things in one’s life and then suddenly I realize something. I asked my friend about it and start writing on a piece of paper. I appreciate the way she thinks and how fast she thinks. She said many words and I wrote them on paper. What I find is the importance of alphabet “E” in life. I thought that it is the power of “E” which drives everyone life. I will share every word here and will share my views on it. There are many more words but I felt these play an important role or meaning.

The first word came to my mind was Electricity and Electronics items. It is very difficult to live without electronics items these days. With increase in use of electronics items, digitalization is increasing in the world. Soon, India will emerge as the world power in Digitalization. Next is E-commerce. We all know how fast e-commerce business is growing in India. It is expected to reach $11.8 Billion by next year. EBay is among one such company. This year e-commerce businesses all over the world broke many records.

Environment is another word on which major countries of the world are keeping their focus. Increase in global warming and disasters are a major concern. Carbon emission from industries is also an issue. In G20 Summit 2014, President Obama talked about the need of control on Carbon emissions. Then we have the role of Engineers in the world. They are the ones who develop this world.

In life, Entertainment is also necessary. With increase in Sports events, Media, Television channels, and movies, entertainment industry emerges as a new developing industry in the world. Inside the corporate world, ethics of an employee play an important role in driving an organization. Education, Enthusiasm, Eagerness, Emotions are important in life.

Employment level of a country always affects an Economy. More Employment is generated more number of people will earn and spend money which is good for an economy to grow. This is the major concern in Europe since last three-four months. Increase in Empowerment is must for a country. The last and most interesting is the Entrepreneurs. There had been many entrepreneurs in the past and many more are emerging. India will produce the maximum number of entrepreneurs in the world. For me Entrepreneurship is living a lifestyle and creating employment for others.

There are many more words, which start from “E” and are important in life. These are Endurance, Enemy, Example, Everlasting, Excitement, Easy, Emergency, Exercise, Equipment, Europe and many more. All of us use one of these words daily. The idea behind this article was to look out for important words or terms used by people around us and most of them start from “E,” and I realized the power of “E” in one’s life.

Lessons From Sachin Tendulkar

“Perseverance and hard work leads to success” - Sachin Tendulkar proved it. He was more than just his name. He started his journey when he was 16 years old and became inspiration for many of the people. He taught us many lessons from his game.

For a professional Manager there are many things, which one should learn from Sachin Tendulkar.

First and foremost is focus and work ethic. There are no shortcuts in life and for a manager a good work ethic and discipline are the key ingredients for long-term success.

Second is the innate ability to handle success, which is very difficult. It requires tremendous level-headedness and humility to handle fame and money at an early age. For a manager early success should not lead to bad attitude towards colleagues and customers.

Longevity and staying power on the job is also, what Sachin taught us. It is very important to manage the high and low. Staying fit and focused is critical for long-term success. Successful managers are the ones with the ability to survive and grow out of rough patches and keep motoring on.

Sachin never argued on field. He always kept his focus on his game and answered with his bat. The lesson here is never to use words on your competitor. The only thing one should do to impress others is by perform and give one’s best, because it is the only way to become successful and prove skeptics wrong.

Sachin Tendulkar was not a good leader. His captaincy record was very poor. The lesson here is, never to accept those options in which you cannot do well. Sachin realized that captaincy is not his cup of tea so he never accepted it. He contributed as a bowler and batsman. He knew that his contribution was good as a player not as a leader so he stepped down and allowed someone else to take that role, the true sign of a thought leader.

In a corporate scenario, individuals may be talented in many areas but one should work in a role, which works best for an organization. It is very important to reinvent and renew oneself with fresh challenges to keep the momentum. Play to your own strengths and the world is at your feet.
