Relation between honesty and happiness

I am sure honesty is still the best policy. Do you know why? Because happiness and honesty both are related, you can not enjoy happiness honestly if you are not honest. Honest happiness comes to honest people. The degree of happiness depends on the degree of honesty. The more you practice honesty you will get more honest happiness instead of fake laughing. Because people in today`s world are not interested in to true happiness rather they are interested in showing others that they are happy. Don`t try to show that you are happy rather than try to feel happiness and try to enjoy happiness.
This is one of best quote about happiness--


A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes. -Hugh Downs
If you are still confused about honest happiness than I would give you an example. Have you ever seen a happy kid? If not, please see the above image that is true and honest happiness. Du you why this kid is feeling true and honest happiness? Simple because he is an honest and even he does not know the meaning of honesty.

Formula 1 Race

Why do we call formula 1 race? Why don`t we call it formula 2, formula 3, 4, 5 or formula 6 race? Simple, because number 1 belongs to real brave men and for real winner. 30th October, 2011 was big day for India in Delhi because first time final of this great sport took place in Buddha International Circuit in New Delhi which is the second fastest F1 track in the world. Bollywood stars like Sharukh Khan and Cricket Stars like Sachin Tendular watched and enjoyed this great event.


Ultimately Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull continued his winning. Anyway this sport is for bulls and winners and speed lovers like Sachin Tendulkar, Narain Karhtikeyan hence Vettel of Red Bull had won the championship,  .

The Difference Between Negotiation and Compromise

What is the difference between negotiation and compromise? Which do you think is better in a Business?
Both the question are confusing and do you know why? Because nobody has answered these questions in simple words. Some people say that both the terms are same and some say compromise is the end result of negotiation.
But there is a difference between negotiation and compromise and very obvious difference hence before answering the second question I would answer my first question because answer of the first question will let you toward answer of the second question.


In simple words:-
Negotiation = Win – Win (Objective of any negotiation process is to get win – win results)
Compromise = Win and Lose (In the process of compromise one party has to lose something whether it is small loss for him or big )
Always remember one important thing that negotiation can be done without compromise but compromise cannot be done without negotiation.
After understanding answer of my first question it is obvious that in business negotiation is better than compromise .

Leadership qualities essential for young leaders to learn

What is Leadership?

                                         In simple words leadership is influence. When we hear this definition instantly second question comes in our mind i.e.- Why Leadership is influence? The answer is hidden in the following questions -  Can you think anybody can follow a leader without influence? Can leaders inspire others without influence? Can you read my blog or follow me without influence? Can you lead people without influence? The answer is very simple no. Hence first and foremost essential quality for a leader is learning to influence others. 
                                                 But we are not concerned about one quality we are concerned about qualities. Now the question arises in our mind is htat What are the major essential qualities for leaders to learn? In fact there are several qualities like:
1.   Passion 
2.   Focus 
3.   Vision 
4.   The ability to delegate
5.   Good Communication 
6.   Sincerity
7.   Humility
8.   Empathy 
9.   Decision making 
10. Crisis - management 
11. Honesty 
12. Integrity 
13. Loyalty 
14. Consistency 
15. Trustworthiness.
16. Enthusiasm 
17. Ability to think deeply 
18. Ability to plan strategically 
19. Ability to inspire people
20. High emotional intelligence 
21. To be a continuous learner 
22. Courage 
23. Value Others 
24. Active listener 
25. Perseverance 
26. Charisma  
27. Character
28. Determination
29  Sense of humor 
30. Leading By Example
                                                    Although this list is very long but we have talked only about essential qualities. But we are not concerned about all leaders, we are only concerned about young leaders. 

Whenever I see young and old leaders together I always miss one important quality and i.e. the foremost important quality. Can you guess which one important quality is missing in young leaders. Why are you not influenced by young leaders? Why are you not inspired by young leaders? Which quality young leaders do not have? Why don`t we take action to follow young leaders? 
                                                   Although the answer is hidden in above qualities, but I will let you know this quality after some time. Let me talk about other essential qualities that are important for young leaders to learn. 
                                                 (1) Focus- If you are not focused you are not passionate and without passion you can`t be a good leader. I have seen the lack of this trait in young leaders and that is a major problem. Without focus you can lead, but only for short span of time, to be a horse of long race you have to be focused. So young leaders are you ready to be focused ? 
                                                   (2) Active Listening - Young leaders you have to learn the ability of effective listening. Do you know active listening is also related with focus because if you are not focused you are not listening you are only hearing. 

                                                  (3) Ability to Inspire others - The main problem with young leaders is they are unable to effectively inspire other and if they don`t inspire people effectively then how can people take actions to follow them?
                                                  
                                                 (4) Crisis management - The ultimate test of a leader happens in crisis. We have seen many good leaders doing good things when everything is going fine but when suddenly crisis happens and recession comes then automatically good young leaders lack their all abilities. 
                                                  Anyway now I will give you the answer of the most important question i.e. Which foremost important quality young leaders are lacking? This is the quality which I am afraid, will young leaders be able to learn or not ? Because this the quality some time called in-born quality.Great leaders like Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King posses this quality very effectively and i.e. my friends- Charisma
                                             (5) Charisma - I have not seen this quality in young leaders. They are lacking Charisma. Although sometimes this is in-born quality but I believe in this principle - Leaders are not born they are made."Leaders are made, and they are made by effort and hard work". - Vince Lombardi That`s why my dear young leaders you can learn this quality and young leaders have to learn this quality if they want to be great leaders. This is the most important quality to influence others and I believe leaders are learner so you can learn Charisma (5) if you focus (1) on charisma, if you are actively  and effectively listening (2) what I am saying in this article, if you have ability to inspire other (3) and If you are a young leader who can manage in crisis (4).
Do you have Charisma ?
