Empathy

Empathy – understanding how s/he

feels

It can be done by putting ourselves in others shoes..

If you have empathy than you’ll have..

- awareness about other person’s feelings- understanding why s/he is upset - flexibility and open mindedness- exposure to other cultures and beliefs- encouraging interpersonal relationships

Optimistic

What do you see?

“An optimist will see half glass full but a pessimist will see half glass empty”

How to be optimistic?- see yourself as a cause, not an effect

- accept failures as a part of life, not the end

- look for the source of your pessimism

- always expect the best

-trust your loved ones

Time Management

Planning in Time Management

Start with a bucket, some big rocks enough to fill It, some small stones, some sand and water.

-put the big rocks in the bucket - is it full?-put the small stones in around the big rocks

– is it full?-put the sand in and give it a shake - is it

full?-put the water in. Now it's full. The point is: unless you put the big rocks in

first, you won't get them in at all.

How can I efficiently manage my ?

- plan each day- prioritize your tasks- limit distractions (I can see the waterfall :P)

- take a break when needed- get plenty of sleep- breaking larger tasks to smaller ones

-Once there was a very rich and greedy man. He loved and hoarded jewels. -One day a visitor asked to see them. -So the jewels were brought out, amid much expensive security, and the two men gazed at the wonderful stones. -As the visitor was leaving he said, "Thank you for sharing your jewels with me."

continued..

-"I didn't give them to you," exclaimed the rich man, "They belong to me." -"Yes of course," replied the visitor, "And while we enjoyed the jewels just the same, the real difference between us is your trouble and expense of buying and protecting them.“

““So always be happy with what you have””

Aim high

-1883, an engineer named John Roebling inspired to build a bridge connecting New York with Long Island

-Expert engineers around the world said, “it’s not possible”

-Roebling sought someone’s help so he approached his son Washington

-The duo started this project with great excitement but in few months..

-A tragic accident on the site took the life of Roebling and left Washington with brain damage that allowed him to move only his fingers

-”We told them so” said expert engineers with negative comments, “crazy men and their crazy dreams”

continued..

-In spite of his handicap Washington had burning desire to complete the bridge

-Suddenly an idea came to his mind, with his moving finger he developed a code of communication with his wife

-Than with the help of his wife, he started giving instructions to his crew for completing the bridge

-This took 13 years un-till when that bridge was finally completed

-Today we call it as, “Brooklyn Bridge”

Even the word impossible says “I M Possible”, so never say I can’t

Thank you
