The journey is what brings us happiness... not the destination

The journey is what brings us happiness... not the destination
From the great motivational movie Peaceful warrior - Dan Millman

I watched the movie and so this part on youtube. I just wanted to share.

Always look for simple solutions

One of the most memorable case studies on management was the case of the empty soap box, which happened in one of the biggest cosmetics companies.

The company received a complaint that a consumer had bought a soap box that was empty.

Immediately the authorities isolated the problem to the assembly line, which transported all the packaged boxes of soap to the delivery department.

For some reason, one soap box went through the assembly line empty. Management asked its engineers to solve the problem. Post-haste, the engineers worked hard to devise an X-ray machine with high-resolution monitors manned by two people to watch all the soap boxes that passed through the line to make sure they were not empty.

No doubt, they worked hard and they worked fast but they spent a whoopee amount to do so.

But when a rank-and-file employee in a small company was posed with the same problem, he did not get into complications of X-rays, etc., but instead came out with another solution.

He bought a strong industrial electric fan and pointed it at the assembly line. He switched the fan on, and as each soap box passed the fan, it simply blew the empty boxes out of the line.

Moral:

Always look for simple solutions. Devise the simplest possible solution that solves the problems :-)

Tips for a better life

Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class, but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present.
Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.
Forgive everyone for everything.
What other people think of you is none of your business.
However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
The best is yet to come.
No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
Don't over do. Keep your limits.
Your inner most is always happy. So be happy.
Do the right thing!
Call your family often.
Each day give something good to others.

Quote - from C S Lewis

You are never too old
to set another goal
or dream a new dream

– C S Lewis

SMART goal setting - Timely

SMART Goal setting- Timely

You should specify a time period for the goal.

Otherwise you will now have the feeling to start that job or work, etc.

If you are in sales business, if you say "I want to sell 100 items ", is it enough? When will you sell them. In 2 months or in 1 year. Set a time.

If you say "I will lose 5 kg weight". Ok but when, in 2 months or in 2 years.

Always set a time.

SMART goal setting-realistic

SMART goal setting-realistic
A high goal is generally easier to reach than a low goal because you will have high motivational force with a high goal. But it should be realistic. If it is too high that even yourself won't believe then it will not be realistic. You should believe that you can accomplish.

SMART goal setting-Attainable, achievable

SMART-Attainable (achievable)
When you set or identify your goals which are most important to you, you should start with the goals that yourself will believe it.
If you say I want to be a millionaire, it is achievable but if you say I will be a millionaire next month and you do not have even a few buck in your pocket then it is unrealistic.
So define a realistic goal.
When you identify a realistic goals you begin to figure out ways you can make them come true. You start working on the ways how to reach that goal.
Goals you set which are too far out of your reach, you probably won't commit to doing.
It is like climbing the stairs. If you think that you will climb the stairs of a building in a second it is not possible. But you can start with the first step and continue. In every step (goal ) that you achieve you will also believ that you will go to the last step.
The feeling of success helps you to remain motivated.
Not ony dream like said in Law of attraction, set the goal attainable and move...

Smart- Measurable

SMART-Measurable

If you want to reach your goal it is better you measure it.
Ask questions such as......
How much?
How many?
......
It is not enough to say "I want to go there".
Better to say
"I will walk 1 km an hour to reach there in 3 hours"
.......................
Instead of
"I want to lose weight"
Say
"I will lose 2 kg by walking 3km from here to here, everyday from here to there......."
................................
At school:
Instead of saying I will study my math lessons.
Say "I will study 2 hours everyday to these subjects until the 15th of June"
..........................................

So, measure your goal

Smart- Specific

SMART GOAL setting-Specific
A specific goal is more effective than a general goal. So, you will have more chance to reach the goal.
To define a specific goal answer these seven questions:
What: What are you going to do?. What you need?.....
When: Define a time schedule. I will do it tomorrow. Or 3 days a week, ....
Who: Who is involved?. Who will help? .....
Where: If any give a location or places
Which: Which equipments, informations.... you need?
Why: Why do you want to accomplish the goal. Your reason or purpose? Why it is important for you?
How: Define how are you going to do it.
