Agreed. You are right. Writing may become a source of stress for us if we follow some strict and inflexible schedule. Following some sort of timetable may not be a good idea in this regard as its effects are devastating in the long run.

I am not writing with an intention to touch the minimum threshold by 30th of every month. It may be a stressful activity for me so I did not consider it rather I do focus on writing whenever I have ideas and feelings to share with my friends here on this site. I am enjoying the overall activity by doing so.

Competition in sports event and games will always be appreciated. There the players will put forth their best to win. Participation itself is appreciated irrespective of whether one is losing or winning. The players on some occasions become very aggressive and make a do or die effort to win. Once the result is declared everybody will have the appreciation of the Audience who generally watch such thrilling event. Here, everything is fair in love and war is not applied nowadays. It was considered as the meaning of the competition in olden days.
I am recollecting a world cup final/semi-final match played between West Indies and Australia. There was only one wicket in the Australian team to win the match.
Michael Holding was the bowler. He got a very good opportunity to make out the player on the popping crease when he crossed it before the bowler could bowl the ball. Michael holding could make him out just by hitting the stumps which were quite nearby But, he did not do it. He just gave the only action reminding the player on the runner side to be more careful. He does not want to make such disrespectful or cunning game. He wanted to show his ability and wanted a fair play.
The whole audience in the stadium appreciated the sportsman spirit of Mr. Michael Holding Though the match won by Australia the man of the match was awarded to an Australian player, finally a special prize for BEST SPORTSMANship was awarded to Mr. Michael Holding and the entire West Indian Team had the high appreciation of the audience in the Stadium
But, in a business competition, it does not take place The only rule they follow is everything is fair in business The only goal is achieving good business and market to their product
In their eagerness to achieve their goal they involve themselves in lawsuits, file complaints against each other, appoint agents to gather the business secrets of other organization, including the method and combination of ingredients used in the making of products This is very dangerous Sometimes, this may even lead to murders This should be discouraged. They totally forget the ethics and neglect to gain the good will of the customers. By the time, they realize this truth there will remain nothing to be achieved.

Wow what an inspiring piece. I totally agree with you on this. There is a saying that goes like this where there is a will there is a way and at the end of every tunnel there is a light. Surely anyone who reads this understands what it’s all about. We don’t just prosper you have to always face trials and temptations go through turmoils to get to the place of prosperity. There are others who may not go through the trials but still prosper have you ever stopped to ask yourself how and why? I have many times and the answer is even with all this riches there is always someone who will pay dearly for you to prosper. So for me i don’t envy those people who have so much going for them, riches come pouring out at them while they are just sorted I would rather work and see how I am getting those riches, see myself climbing from one level to another. That way i will appreciate every little thing I have for I know how i got it and what I had to go through to get it. That’s what matters most. Prosperity has never come easy for those who have been there. It has many ups and downs and it needs a lot of patience to be able to receive or get what you want. Many at times we may work so hard and still not find the satisfaction that we are looking for but in the long run of you learn to be patient with yourself you will surely get deserving break that you having working for for so long.

I feel happiness comes first, then comes prosperity followed by success in whatever good one is pursuing, leading to abundance which in turn will attract money. People have become materialistic and they measure others by the amount of money and job which one has. This has become a sad fact of life. The rich always seem to keep on hoarding money which actually be increased by them for themselves and for the nation and its people by investing it in more businesses and creating wealth and not money alone.

If the wealth trickles down from the top downwards and reaches all the sections of the society then the nation will become strong as the people will possess both skill, job and wealth. For this to happen we need people who have a heart to do something for their country and its people and not think what they can get out of it more. A well researched article.

True trolling and bullying on online platforms has become a big nuisance. If anyone is having difficulty in the writings or expressions of view of the person who has done it. They can point out the issue in a polite and the person at the other end should also try and be sensitive and reply to the aggrieved party and explain. Everything should be sorted out by polite communication. The online platform owners have to create inbuilt mechanisms to see that such issues do not recur with the people who have expressed their views. But even those people who write or do anything online or in a public forum should understand that they are addressing a audience consisting of different thought processes and therefore should be careful in saying and doing what they say or do. Responsibility lies on the online platform owners and more importantly on the people who write, express or comment and those who react to it. Nobody should misuse the medium and the medium should not be blamed because of individuals perpetrating such acts.

There are some who win the confidence of Admin and dare do bully many and get away with it. With admin on their side there is little one can do to solve the issue

A neatly compiled article covering all the aspects which needed to be covered. Time management skill also play a crucial part in today’s life and distribution of time into small compartments will help one in not getting overworked and leaving them fatigued. Multitasking is important but it is better task to concentrate on one task at a time and finish it then switching on to the other. A healthy mind, body and soul are crucial for giving optimum output. It also does not toxify the body due to stress build up which is a common occurence when one is overworked. The list of do’s and dont’s are very useful. Very often we tend to forget these simple things in the hustle bustle of life without our knowledge and later regret when we fall sick and are in bed. As the saying goes ‘Prevention is always better than cure’. We need to train ourselves by reminding ourselves about these points daily. That becomes a pattern and a habit.

“For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.”
– New Testament Scriptures

Often we go through feeling good about things, until we see someone with a better situation than our own. Professional athletes making millions of dollars a year have been known to aggressively protest because a teammate makes more money than they do. Everything was fine, until they eyed what another had. They fell under the spell of the green eye of envy.

If greed has slain its thousands, envy has slain its ten thousands. It destroys friendships, creates havoc at workplaces, and generally makes life miserable. Once bitten, it’s hard to heal.
We need to remember that everyone casts shadows on someone else, and few people sit on the mountain for very long. We long for things others have, often without counting our present blessings. Let’s examine this further:

1. Not all blessings are suitable for all.
As God designs our life quite specifically, He also designs the blessings we will receive. Not every blessing would be suitable for us, and may not match our calling in life. We should ponder this when we’re tempted to envy another’s blessings. One person’s blessing, might be another person’s curse.
2. It’s not hard to misunderstand God’s plan for our life.
When we long for the blessings that others enjoy, and even pursue them, we might stray from God’s plan for our life.

God provides us with the gifts and life situation that helps us to fulfill His plan. Sometimes we read another person’s life into our own life, thus creating misunderstanding. We want what they have, but God may not have designed those things for us. He has a different, better plan for us.

Yes, every situation does not deserve attention is a right but attention must be according to situation. I think that Is there a correct way to handle conflict? What are the effects of poor conflict management?

Conflict in the workplace might be inevitable, as employees have different personalities, goals, and opinions. Learning how to handle conflict efficiently is the key to preventing it from hindering employees’ professional growth.Conflict resolution is only a five-step process:

The more information you have about the cause of the conflict, the more easily you can help to resolve it. To get the information you need, use a series of questions to identify the cause, like, “When did you feel upset?” “Do you see a relationship between that and this incident?” “How did this incident begin?”

After getting each party’s viewpoint on the conflict, the next step is to get each to identify how the situation could be changed. Again, question the parties to solicit their ideas: “How can you make things better between you?”

As mediator, you have to be an active listener, aware of every verbal nuance, as well as a good reader of body language.

Just listen. You want to get the disputants to stop fighting and start cooperating, and that means steering the discussion away from finger pointing and toward ways of resolving the conflict.

The mediator needs to get the two parties to shake hands and agree to one of the alternatives identified in Step 4. Some mediators go as far as to write up a contract in which actions and time frames are specified. However,

it might be sufficient to meet with the individuals and have them answer these questions: “What action plans will you both put in place to prevent conflicts from arising in the future?” and “What will you do if problems arise in the future?”

This mediation process works between groups as well as individuals.

Time is precious and one must be very frugal in tis connection. We are not supposed to waste our time in useless activities. It would be a better idea to ignore some events, events that are not related to us in anyway.

But there are some situation that do need our attention.

For me, every situation at risk or not needs attention for if not, we cannot solve a conflict or settle some disputes.No matter how a situation big or small, we have to take concern.There are so many reasons why take focus on an issue or situation even if it is all about attack by terrorists far from your sight. There is nothing to share about to young children someday if a situation you ignored would come along after many years.

Or as I used to hear the old folks say when I was growing up: “Child! God did not die and live you in charge. So just back off and let Him do His job. He can the handle the world better than you anyway!” 🙂

I get it. Focus on the priorities. Don’t sweat the small stuff.
