Analyze & plan ahead

We are born & every one of us is different from the others - different finger prints, appearences, different levels of progress and growth. Then comes Indian schooling where the over-arching policy of educational institutions seems to be to bring about conformity - to make us all into identical beings.

Then, one fine day, we are thrust back into the real world where we can stand out from the crowd only when we have special talents and capabilities.

Most of us are not born geniuses with some inherent easily appreciated talent (Music, Leadership, Public speaking, Maths, art,...). Most of us have 'regular' jobs. But even here companies are looking to pick the right person. So when you are looking at a specific job, what makes you special - the right person for that job?

There are hidden inherent traits in all of us (though they may not be dramatically or easily apparent). One way to find what that is, is to describe to yourself how you would want others to describe you and then try to nature those talents. Spend some time every day to understand yourself so that you can bring out best with in yourself.

I have heard many time statements like this 'He is a real meticulous person'. 'She is a problem solver'. 'She is a people person'. 'He is a good planner'.

So, when are you going to start analyze & describing you?
The way you are today is because of your yesterday's situation & decisions. And the way you will be tomorrow is because of your Today's decisions & planning!
