Appreciation

“There is more hunger for love and appreciation in this world than for bread” - Mother Teresa-

Everybody in this world hunger for appreciation. We all want to be appreciated by our family members, friends, loved ones, boss, and etc.It’s a wonderful motivation when our effort is being appreciated by people. When we give a genuine appreciation to someone we will not only make his/her day but we will help them to bring out the best out of them. A positive energy is created there when someone is being appreciated. So by appreciating someone we are not only helping them to be at their best, we also indirectly helping our self to give our best in everything we do. Learning how to appreciate every single thing that god has offered us is a key to increase fulfillment. Below is the few way of us showing our appreciation:

1. A simple ‘Thank You’ will do wonders in our relationship, career, and life .By saying ‘thank you’ we are telling people their effort is being appreciated. A simple ‘thank you’ from a boss will motivate the employee to give his best in his/her next assignment.
2. Call people using their real name-For everyone their name is the sweetest thing they can hear from someone mouth. By calling someone with their name (with proper pronunciation) you are showing them there are being appreciated and remembered. You are telling them there are VVIP.There are remembered.
2.’I Love You’ notes-Nothing can make our partners or beloved one happier than letting them know how much we appreciate them. Simple ‘I love you’ notes can add ‘extra sugar’ in a relationship.
3. The most IMPORTANT DAY in someone life is their birthday. A simple SMS on their birthday will let them know how much there are being appreciated.
4. Enjoy little things in life-Appreciation not only meaning appreciate people around us. We also can appreciate every little thing around us and came across our life. A little thing today can be a big thing tomorrow.

So, let’s start to appreciate everyone and everything in life and fill this world with love.

Cheers!

How To Stay Focused

I often heard my friends complaining there is no enough time to complete their office task with the increasing ‘MUST FINISH’ list. Some complaining there is so many distractions in office and they are not able to finish the task in times. But by stay focus on our mission we can be more productive. Here are few things that I usually do to stay focus:

1. Plan and visualize your day ahead. Plan your day ahead before you go to bed. Visualize that you are doing the entire task that you supposed to do the next day.

2. Write down your entire task.Start your day by writing down the entire task that you supposed to do in that particular day. Prioritize the task according to the importance.

3. Allocate ‘Relaxing’ time.Allocate in advance a short time period for you to check your email, new, facebook, friendster and etc.Do everything you want in this time. So when you start back your task, you won’t be distracted by this ‘time killers’.

4. Reschedule your tasks when you are really bored.Let say, you are feeling bored when doing task A, you can reschedule the task according to its priority and do some other task in your list which is less boring. By doing this, we will eliminate boredom and stay focuses in accomplishing our tasks.

5. List down all the distraction & eliminate it.Take a white paper and list down the entire thing that distracting you from accomplishing your task. List down everything and eliminate them one by one. I’m sure you will see the increasing productivity.

6. Divide & Conquer-Rome is not built in one day. Divide all you task into small part and take on at a time. After you finish your first task, move to the next one.

7. Maintain a support group.Mingle with the right kind of people who can motivate you and guide you to achieve your goals. Track your goals with them.

8. Task = Goal.Visualize all you task will lead to your goals. Keep inspiring yourself to complete all your task to achieve your goals.

9. Reward yourself.Reward yourself every time you accomplish a bigger task. A small reward can motivate you to stay focus in your goal and make you more determine in accomplishing your task.
