WHAT IS THE SKILL OR A TACTIC BEHIND SAYING – THE WORD “NO”?

In fact, I have a very good habit of how to spend free time effectively to stress free my mind and have a happy smile on my face.

 

So, today an interesting part happened in my day. Early Morning, I had my bath, I did yoga, after yoga I finished my breakfast.

 

While I was checking my emails then I was reading magazines in one page it was mentioned

 

“Saying No is an Art” - Employees have to be trained for a better work environment like work and life balance.

 

Okay! This point has raised in my mind.

There are 27 books which I found in Google Search. So, employees need to read all the books to learn saying No????

 

HERE, IS MY CONCLUSION:

 

There is a concept called SIX THINKING HATS. By using this concept, companies can test the employee skills or develop skills through a puzzle.

 

Likewise, give them a 6-line paragraph tell employees to solve and answer should be in 1 line. Whoever wins - They will get pen drives, etc. where a company can cover it in miscellaneous expenses in company accounts.

 

For example:

I live in Hyderabad, India. And I have to go to the Electricity office to pay my current bill. My home is in Kukatpally. I have to go to Ameerpet to pay my current bills.

To travel I may use a bike, car, bicycle, train, auto, bus or on foot. I have 300 rupees in my pocket to travel. After returning home I saved 250 rupees in my pocket.

Now, tell me – How much do I spend? How did I travel?

What is the solution? - Where I said No? Where I said Yes?

 

Like these questions one can easily learn the art of saying “No”?

 

Just say which book you will follow to learn saying No or you will follow the puzzles that catch in your mind. Comment below.

CONDOLENCES TO IT MINISTER OF ANDHRA PRADESH MEKAPATI GOUTHAM REDDY FAMILY

Yesterday, I was eating my tiffin and watching Nanduri Srinivas Spiritual Talks in (Telugu language) on YouTube on my mobile phone.

 

After I finished my tiffin, I clicked the homepage in YouTube there it was displayed that IT Minister of Andhra Pradesh Mekapati Goutham Reddy is no more; died of a Heart Attack.

 

I felt like I haven’t seen this person in Telangana Newspapers. Generally, in Hyderabad IT minister K T Rama Rao is a well-known face in Telangana Newspapers.

 

So, I started searching in Google then followed by Wikipedia – Who is Mekapati Goutham Reddy?

 

There I found these information –

  • He did a Master's degree in Apparel and Textiles at University of Manchester, United Kingdom.
  • At elections time, he declared his assets - ₹61 crore.

 

Really, I was surprised. At present, the students who are going abroad for higher studies and used to settle in those countries, in other words it is called brain drain.

 

He studied in foreign country and came back to India and became a politician of Andhra Pradesh state.

 

One has to learn that there are many opportunities in India that one can use and become a successful person, why settling in other countries and criticizing Indian education.  

 

Just see this diamond. This diamond name is Mekapati Goutham Reddy - a real example of job opportunities, how to utilize your talent and know your skills where you fit in.  

 

My Condolences to IT Minister of Andhra Pradesh Mekapati Goutham Reddy family members:

 

Mekapati Goutham Reddy is a dynamite personality who is an inspiration to many students.

 

And one thing that one has to understand is that great people live less lifespan just see the Goutham buddha and Swami Vivekananda life span. May his soul rest in peace.
