A wacky Question...........

" Sir help...!
i have a wacky ques.....!!! :o

" where do people get their sincerity back????"" :(
(i desperately need it)
i lost it since i came to college...!!! :(

as a result.....,
i've screwed up my studies :x :x :(
smacked my health
(n worst)
almost ruined my parents faith in me!!! :( :(  "

A intelligent cute little girl in her Bachelors sent me this message. Made me wonder, where have we tied our upcoming generation.
Most of us loose our sincereity once we pass a particular level in life. We screw up badly, and ruin faith of lots of people who are close and near us.

Lets look it in the point of analogy.

Consider the girl as a Corporate house. A Corporate/ business which performed well for a long duration ( till 12th) and when the market changed ( to college) the whole system of performance changed.
What went wrong? Let's look at the core.

1. The Market changed in + 5 Direction while the business moved to - 5 Direction.

When the market changes, new set of challenges come in, the customer ( here in loved one's or parents) increase expectation from the brand called "you".
But your ( Business) idea of enjoyment, changes drastically.
The Priorities change
In the last Market last two years ( 11th & 12th ) the priorities were

a. To secure great Marks in each subject
b. To be able to get admission in top colleges.
c. To make the name of parents proud.

While in this new Market ( 1st Year College) the priorities are

a. To be established as most trendiest, or most wanted, Most Hot, Most sincere ( very few) person of the college.
b. To make more number of friends, and hang out with them.( Corporates always try to get new customer, they are in endless pursuit of new customers, only to realise later that it cost 1 to serve existing customer but it cost 100 to acquire a new one)
c. To be different and stand out yet be in crowd ( Self Doubt, most business have it)

SO WHAT TO DO?

5 Step Plan

1. Write down what your top priorities are, make it visionary, like getting back the confidence of my customer ( belief of my parents) or talking with the existing customer ( talk with old friends who know you).
2. Break down your vision into small small Missions.
( Talking to 10 customer everyday or Talking to One old friend and listen to them without judging).
3. Write down 10 Things/people that you wish to have with you 5 Years from now?
( Might be to stand out as the most transformed person, or most transformed Business).
4. Put it in your bag, in your pocket, in your email in your desktop wallpaper, the idea is to make the priority a part of your life.
5. Do it!
 
This will surely ensure you get maximum benefits from the market you are in.
And please Remember,

You were always sincere, you never lost your sincereity. But
the problem was, you shifted your sincerity to things which don't matter.

As the great Peter F Drucker said,

" There is nothing more useless, than doing efficiently that, which, should not be done at all".

Hope to see a better you.

THOUGHT:

" Most business shift their focus once they taste the fruit of success. You are most prone to fall when you are at the top, and it hurts as well when you come down. Businesses/Individual needs to relalize that

Nothing fails like Success, and hence must put constant effort to improve themselves."
