Kal kare so aaj kar... Aaj kare so ab...

This doha is normally associated with doing good work.
Something in the vein of- dont delay a good task for tomorrow. Do it
today, in fact right now!

But i realise now that this is true even for dealing with issues that
you may be facing.
No point avoiding painful issues till they cross your threshold.

Instead spot the issue's root cause right away and start cracking!

Especially true for work u avoid cos you dont like it / are not good at it.

Cheers!

What's your forte? Communication skills or Charisma?

Written on Thursday, February 19, 2009 by Siddharth PV

This gem came out of a discussion with Mr. Neeti ------ of Core Objects at the OCC meeting on Jan 18, 2009.

For any marketer - communication is hygiene factor.
No marketing guy can survive without great inter-personal skills.

But COMMUNICATION is / may still be a commodity (to an extent at least). But it is not everything. It is definitely not all that marketing is about.

A marketer's main forte is its ability to influence people's thinking.
A good marketer is the one who has the charisma to influence the way you think and coax you into action.

So - MOVE beyond mere communication skills.
They cannot be your USP. Your USP has to be the ability to influence decisions.
For that you need to understand your client really well.

Now figure ways to do it.

Some Ideas - Luck by Chance...

Written on Monday, February 02, 2009 by Siddharth PV

Saw Luck By Chance today.

The movie is quite good. Worth watching once.

The best part however was - it reminded me of some of my older fundas...

For instance -

1. There is a smart WAY TO GET THINGS THAT YOU WANT -
   Just try asking for them.

   When you really want something - go ahead and say 'I want this'
   Most people are reasonable. If they can give it to you without too much pain - they will give it to you.

   Else - they will tell you WHAT STOPS YOU FROM HAVING THAT THING.
   (They could be rude in replying. But finally you will know what it takes to have 'IT')

   In short - asking for it will TAKE YOU ONE STEP CLOSER to getting it.

2. Make your OWN CHANCES.
   The more you try your luck - the luckier you get.  

3. Bank on yourself. Give yourself a CHANCE.

4. Always know WHAT you WANT for Yourself.

5. Just chose to be happy.
