A Day in your Life

A Day in your Life

Quote of the day

 ‘Every curtain that opens for you is a personal performance merited by the ones that watch it. Today is a day in your life. Will your performance be applauded by those that watch, observe and criticise you?’

As we watch over others little do we realise that we are also been observed, criticised, analysed and assessed by an audience of 7 billion. What makes a man or a woman great is how they perform their daily tasks in front of an audience of over 7 billion people. Once we depart from the comfort of our domain we are exposed to criticism, activism, cynicism or even romanticism. We are now actors in a world of actors performing our roles selfishly or unselfishly. A Meritocratic Goal Setter of which you are identifies their role in a world teeming with individuals of varying roles. They then aim to perform such a role unselfishly. Today you maybe a student, tomorrow you may become an employee or an employer, the next day you may become married, in a few years’ time you will become a parent and later on a grandparent. Our roles are constantly changing by identification but we still remain actors in front of an audience of 7 billion people. Success in life is about leaving behind a legacy of good deeds for others to follow. Success in life is to perform your role according to your decree to the best of your ability. You need to exercise Patience, Endurance and Tolerance. Do you remember when we spoke about the acronym PET in an earlier article? You need to be a PET. Patience is about Self-Control, to administer your moods in the presence of an audience that watches over you. Endurance is your fortitude over the aggression you may face over the criticism and cynicism that will always come your way. Tolerance is about not being narrow-minded in front of an audience that stares at you from dawn to dusk. A Day in your Life is a repetition of daily roles assigned to you, written by you and enacted by yourself. When your front door opens the curtain to your daily performance begins. Although you do not expect an applause by the end of your shift you certainly do not want the rotten apples that come with it. Dear Friends, always remember that once you open your front door you actually opening the curtain to your overall performance. You are interacting amongst a population of over 7 billion people. Interaction between people delivers one of two things, attraction or distraction. Attraction makes you full of charm, appealing and desirable. Distraction creates confusion, a source of annoyance and a sense of trouble. If you are not ready to act your role then perhaps you should not open your front door. Plan ahead, envisage tomorrow based on today’s performance. Become a critic of your own performance and look at your weaknesses and your strengths. Decide on how you can improve your day. Polish your act, don’t live to criticise someone but live to analyse yourself.

‘Don’t rebuff Criticism, Correction and Consolidation.’

Quote of the day

‘It pays to receive criticism, it pays to accept correction and it pays to consolidate, for all of these magical words makes you a better person.’

Sometimes it is hard to face criticism even though you feel that you have done your level best. It is even harder to accept correction because you can feel intimidated, ridiculed or possibly overthrown. Consolidation is by far the most demeaning aspect of one’s character. To the contrary, accepting Criticism, Correction and Consolidation can have a heightening effect on your life both at work or at home. We spoke about getting those gremlins off our chest so to speak, now we need to take daily action in October to activate such an onslaught. Dear Friends, you are indeed special in this world and sometimes when Criticism, Correction and Consolidation comes upon it feels like an inhibition stifling our senses and our progress for the day. Let us investigate these three dynamic words and see if we can turn the tables around. The word Criticism when viewed in an annular mode, in other words in a different perspective rather than the conventional way we see a different meaning. We see that criticism can be appreciative comments or reviews of your status quo. It shows that the critic is giving good assessment of a good person with the view that he or she could take cognisance and improve their situation. They are being analysed for their betterment but scrutinised for an overall performance. They are being analysed but not glamorised. We always expect the critics to see the best in our performance but actually we should seek or want our work to improve, to reach a higher level and to remain there. Correction is the implementation of improvement. Improvement develops a person’s character, it creates perfect individual or employee, and it enhances not only the working environment but the domestic enclosure. Consolidation is about getting all viewpoints together, creating partnerships with all and amalgamating resources. Primarily the object is to get the job done but to achieve it unselfishly, Dear Friends, when the bells chime at work accepting criticism, correction and consolidation plays an important aspect of your overall progress and ultimate success. Accept criticism for it will only make you a better person. Accept correction for it is better to get the job done the right way. Consolidation marks the final settlement in your situation. It portrays a plan or an agenda to make wrongs both morally and financially right.
