:) Why Mediocre is the best :)

Why Mediocre is the best :)

When you are the best you tend to raise the bar. Expectations rise. Next time requires more effort.

When you are the worst you tend to break the bar.There is no expectation hence no support

So we should aim for the top and never reach there while ensuring we never hit the bottom.

Example 1:

A class of 30 people 5^th standard.

A kid comes first.

In 6^th standard he will be looked down upon even if he comes second.(बेचारे को डांट पड़ेगी--inspite of being 2nd)

He will be blamed for not studying properly and not putting much effort. (ज़रूर इसने पढाई नहीं की होगी)

On the other hand if he comes last, he will be scolded, scoffed at.

He will be so depressed that he will end believing in himself and remain at the bottom, even dig further.

(may be he'll think - पढाई का कोई फायदा नहीं ; मै ही ढोर हूँ )

Example 2:

A company of 10 salespeople

2001- An employee achieves highest figures

In 2002 if he does lesser he will be looked down upon even.

Again he will be blamed for not putting much effort or not concentrating on work.

If he does worst- he’s sacked. Depression—>end of self belief—>poorer show-->further depression.

Maybe some of that is in built in us, that is why we answer 6, 7, 8 when told to rate something on a scale of 10. We never tend to give a 0 or 10 especially when question Is on us.

A look at 3 viewpoints

View from the BOTTOM-

1. TOP is way too far

2. Everyone visible is ahead

3. Already discarded- not even normal assistance from others

View from the TOP-

1. Everywhere visible is Downwards.

2. Lonely

3. Nothing left to achieve- no motivation

For a normal human both are scary

Just look at A sane MEDIOCRE guy :) —

1. Can grow, Can fall.

2. Can achieve=motivation ; can fall= caution

3. Neither lonely nor overcrowded.

Now seeing the 3 cases choose your strategy :)

Had to create a corollary--

You can only rise when you hit the Rock Bottom

When at the top you will only fall. :D

Loophole

Employee Ravi sees a loophole. (अगर ये काम करूँगा तो फायदा है , और ये पूरी तरह गलत भी नहीं है )

His mind wavers to analyze the benefits of using the loophole against the risk involved.

He checks around to see if any ones watching. He becomes more alert. (सतर्क aur चौकन्ना )

Adrenaline rush begins. He has a sense of excitement (रोमांच) and fun (मज़ा) just by thought of using the loophole.

Then just for the sake of adventure he goes ahead.

He gets a small benefit but a huge sense of achievement comes along.

He wants to tell everyone, boast about it but he can’t else the window of loophole closes.

He keeps shut does the same thing again. Results similar but this time the marginal gain (achievement, excitement, returns) are much lesser. This continues for some more time till the use of the loophole becomes a mundane(=> आदत हो जाती है) day to day activity.

At this point of time Ravi needs some motivation, something more, something different(कुछ और , कुछ नया ). He THINKS through, EXPLORES the system furthermore.

This activity helps his thought process and also his understanding of system. The curiosity to discover the loopholes drives him.

He succeeds finds a new one…………………….

Loophole has created Motivation, Thrill, Excitement, Alertness, Achievement, QuestForKnowledge, and ThoughtProcess.

Imagine a Series of events initiated by a person.. Who actually cheat and beat the system in front of everyone... And no one’s actually objected.. So he did more...n more... And found out that... It’s not he but the company who is cheating them with the candies of loopholes

Consider this from a company point of view. This will be the best Employee motivational tool in the future (if this is not already in Practice).

Many Ravi’s get motivated by loopholes, why not feed them with the same ---They r satisfied

And performing better

Moral:

There's a Ravi in everyone.. You just have to find it-- and feed it with his set of loopholes :)

Note: Ravi is the name of the person who helped write this article. Actually he is very ethical and against any usage of flaws in System.

Importance of Laziness

Lesson: Importance of laziness

Location: typical metro city (Delhi,Mumbai,Banglore…)

Time: 9:00-11:00 given that most offices open at 10:00.

Duration: Approximate average time required to reach office 45 minutes.So everyone gets going and hits the roads at around 9:15.
Considering the high population and traffic density there are numerous traffic jams all across. People get stuck on roads.
Nobody reaches office on time & a journey of 45 minutes takes somewhere around 1-2 hours. I just try to analyze the problem

******let us classify the people constituting road traffic into 2 segments
1. Active
2. Lazy

Case 1(Ok):

The whole population is lazy => nothing changes, status quo continues, same jams, and same times.

Case 2(Best Case):

Some lazy + Some active – some people notice the pattern, their will to action drives them and inherent non-laziness urges them to start early. So they start at 8:30.
The lazy ones who are indifferent (arguably better adapted) to the situation do not bother to take any action.
Result: the traffic density reduces simply because now half the population is travelling at a different time than others. So – no more jams.

Case 3 (infinitely Worst Case):

The whole population is active => nothing changes except that everyone is taking more trouble and more pain to end up in the same situation – only an hour earlier.


This piece of evidence derives 2 conclusions
1- laziness can only make the situation better or let it remain the same
2- Activity can make it worse.

Moral of the Story--

Be Lazy; make the world a better place to live: D

PluS: there are some super (smart) lazy people who will get up at 10:00 get going at 11:00 and when asked about the jam , would say what jam? or refer to breakfast spreads. :)

Hardwork

X-Axis = Efforts u put in (anything that u don't like and yet have to do)
Y-Axis = Corresponding results (anything that makes u feel

Everywhere 2.Mehnati (Hardworker) and 4.Moron are appreciated more than
1.(Brilliant) and 3.(Satisfied)

I somehow do not get the logic.
comparing 3 Vs 4 AND comparing 1 Vs 2
in terms of resource usage 1,3 will consume less and results are bad/good for both pairs.

Ideally i'd like to be 1. who would get good results despite being lazy.
or 3. who'd not get the results but neither would take the pain of efforts.
Certainly not 4.(yet most of us end up being 4)

If English were as easy as Maths

just a comparison between 2 languages ... as usual ...totally useless :P

If English were as easy as Math.
This would mean…people preparing for any exams which contain use of English and Maths should focus to improve English……..
(PS: This doesn’t mean that writer is good at math: instead he’s “less worse” at math relative to English)

just literally comparing point wise the two….

1. Maths builds up from basics, the logic of numbers (0, 1, 2...)Continues.
English also initially pretends to do so, but gradually a,b,c goes into something absurd.
2.Maths can be learnt thru induction i.e. the logic applied once is applicable throughout.
English itself contains the word “logic” but contrarily is completely illogical.
3.Maths in its simplest form (when dealing with money) is known to all…newspaper vendors, chai wala’s etc
English requires formal education.
4.English is spoken in few nations, Math resides in all
5.English has useless waste of space for ex. In Pneumonia ‘P’ is silent... I guess no one will ever know why silent letters are written in the first place.
But when it comes to numbers 123….or 1123 there is a sense and a meaning to every symbol used.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So lets experiment :)
If we treat English symbols no greater than those of maths then we would derive something like
PRIZE = Px10^4+Rx10^3+Ix10^2+zx10^1+Ex10^0
Or we would even be able to derive meaning (yes i mean 'meaningful' English)
For example two synonyms of PRIZE are AWARD and REWARD (according to MS WORD 2007)
AWARD=PRIZE …………….. (1)
REWARD=PRIZE………………. (2)
So using equations 1 and 2
AWARD=REWARD
=> A+WARD=RE+WARD

=> A=RE
(Note: correlated result can be achieved by AVENGE=VENGEANCE=REVENGE)

Similarly working with other words will add meaning to English :)
In the end I leave English for the Knowledgeable and Maths for the intelligent.

I also tried linking Maths and Physics/Biology-
if you increase the number of sides of a polygon it gradually becomes a circle at infinite sides.
a tummy may be seen in similar way as an infinite pack of ABS :)

Autobiography of TARGET

My Name is TARGET
Imaginary, Multiple, Worldwide

About Me –

Birthday– 1st April
Location – Arbitrary documents, Excel Sheets, Bosses / Employee’s Brains
Relationship Status- Impossible.
Here for –Sadistic Pleasures
First thing you will notice: I am too far

Hello everyone my name is TARGET.
I am existing in various forms across the globe. The biggest bosses in companies and corporate create me to continue their reign. I am thrust upon their subordinates who in turn do the same.I am the source of power for superiors at every level.

I get split into parts when I am thrust down the food chain.

Biggest Boss (1) --> Bigger Boss (3, 4)--> Big Boss (a few)....-->Employee (too many)
(Employee is the last node with no subordinate)

If someone gets too close to me, I am given a boost by the immediate superior.
HaHaHa (sarcastic smile) and I get away again.

Family--

There are some close relatives of mine who never show up if I am not present.
Namely promotion and raise are my loved cousins. We are so close that they do not go anywhere without me. But they are considered socially awkward by the evil “humor recourse” people. So these people try to keep me away so that my cousins automatically don’t show up.

About Me Again--

I enjoy a lot during my life. I see people slog to get me…oh I am so desirable :)
But my lifespan is too short; whether someone gets me or not I will die soon.
And I even know when I will die.

Personal Advice--

Do try to get me but don’t waste your life for me, coz I have multiple lives.
I will be born again with renewed strength and you will be the same, even more exhausted.

But what the heck I enjoy my life you too do :)

RIP – 31st March

The relativity of time

what all people can do in such a GD topic
Actually a highly intellectual brain storming conversation

At times when there is nothing to do, you start doing all kinds of random and arbit bakar. These are Excerpts from one such crazily insane, yet intellectual bakar a few days ago -

It was a discussion between me and NR.


NR: time is an illusion, lunchtime doubly so
RM: when u add things should increase
7:23 PM but when u add lunch to time - time decreases
NR: when u r hungry ... 1 second = 1 minute
during lunch it is reverse
so limit lunch time -> 0
so lunch time seems to be an illusion
7:24 PM RM: and since lunch is an object
lunch > 0 so it must be time ->0
so time is an illusion
7:25 PM but we look time in a watch so a watch must be an illusion
7:26 PM but a watch is made of materials which will in turn be illusion
NR: waah
made of quartz
foind in sands
but sand slips thru between ur fingers
so sand is an illusion
RM: => glass is a illusion
7:27 PM matlab chashma(spectacles) = illusion
so what u see thru specs is illusion.
things will look illusion if they are real
else it will look real if its illusion
NR: real is an illusion
so is tropicana
RM: :D
7:28 PM but unreal tournament is real
un (real=illusion)
=> un illusion
=> real
7:30 PM so real is illusion
illusion is real
NR: sirr ghoom raha hai
RM: :)

bore to the core

written when sitting at home office ....while watching ants crawl...........

but this will be last post of the BAD==SAD kind.....warna i'll actually lose my mind :D


I am bored to the core

They say ‘every cloud has a silver lining”
We’ll till I get that…I’ll continue whining

Sitting on the shore..Mind wants to explore
But when in mid ocean …it says no more

Same shit, another day,
Different town, the same way

I can’t see a ray of hope…still I think there is some scope
A ladder to climb or an up way rope

It’s better to be silly it’s better to be fun.
So I quit ‘boredom’ and get back on the RUN

Now I’ll be back to old days…be it good ones or the silly PeeJays
But that’s an art where I’m not that smart :)

अंग्रेज़ी में शेर लिखा ....तो हिन्दी भी ज़रूरी है :P

काम के नशे में......ये कहाँ पे चढ़ गया....

यारों से बिछड़ गया......मै अकेला पड़ गया

चाय पे वो बकर मारना.....ताश में जो जीतना हारना..
वक्त चलते चलते रुक गया....मै बेवजह ही ठुक गया

random entries of an eternal traveller

i travel again...
whether its sunny or rain.
mindboggling heat or cramping pain.
offcourse i do that for a future gain.

i take the stress, i take the strain.
but seems its all in vain,
making my brain go down the drain.

but i have nothing else to do so...
i travel again...
