ABG: Avoid Blame Game

The moment we fail, either in exam, in job, in venture, in relationship or any aspect of life, we start looking for a person or circumstances to which we can blame for our failure. 

 

Blaming others is neither going to convert failure into success nor its going to teach lesson for the future. It’s quite possible that others might have contributed to the failure however, if we deeply analyze it, we will find that we ourselves is the major cause of failure. 

 

The need is to develop a habit of finding fault in self instead of others. Stephen Covey in his book 7 Habits of Highly Effective People has described first habit as “Be Proactive”. Focus on circle of influence. We our self is the first person in our circle of influence. 

 

5 Tips to avoid Blame Game

1. Analyze the reasons of failure.

2. What you could have done to avoid failure?

3. Focus on reasons of the failure rather than person behind it. 

4. Document the lesson learned for future use. 

5. Even if the person is reason of failure, avoid blaming.

AAP Achievement Advertises Personality

Let your achievement speak about yourself rather than self-boosting your work. Many people have the habit of chanting their work and past achievements whenever, wherever and whom so ever they meet. Though people may listen patiently but such people lose their reputation very quickly. 

 

Secretly most of us have a desire to be appreciated but the best policy is not to opt for self-boosting. Let your work and achievements have their own glory. It does not mean that advertising is bad. Advertise your work, services, organization but not the self. Right time will come and you will be recognized for your work and that is the time to show your humbleness. 

 

5 Tips to glorify your achievements

1. Prepare a smart presentation of your work done. 

2. Present your work to the right person. 

3. Chose right time for the presentation. 

4. Be truthful about facts and figures. 

5. Give appropriate credit to all involved. 

 

LFA: Learn From All

Every thing, every plant, every animal, every person and every situation is a teacher if you are ready to be student. I am compiling these tips more for my self-learning than passing on to the readers. I wish I should be student till my last breath. Though technology and Google has given us knowledge on our fingertips, however we can learn a lot from our surroundings. “I know all” is the biggest illusion and highest ego. The moment you think, you are a master, you lose your mastery. For continuous learning one need to drop his ego completely. One needs to be consciously observant. One needs to keep all senses alert. Keep open your eyes and ears. Never treat anyone inferior and yourself superior. When you will treat yourself student, you will treat everyone with respect as a teacher.

Take a simple example of pencil, how many lessons we can learn from it.  Unless and until it goes through the pain of sharpener, it is of no use. What it has inside matter more than what it has outside. It is of no use unless it takes the help of finger. Lastly it has limited life. 

5 Tips to Learn from All:

1. Nobody knows every thing but every body knows something.

2. Speak less; listen more.

3. Observe minutely.

4. Don’t blame. Learn from your own mistakes and failures.

5. While learning, keep your ego aside.
