Art of giving 100% at right time


We all must have heard a number of times in different places about- " Just giving your 100% and stop worrying about the result". But no one told how and when to do it. Timing and the way we give our 100% is more important than being 100% all the time. I can prove this point just by illustating some situations.

Whenever we start some new course like graduation/ post- graduation or join a new company, people tell us that we can relax in starting but later we will have to work harder for work completion. But according to me this is the right time for giving your 100%, and reasons are:-

  1. Now, who so ever says this must have done the same thing in their life too. They say that we can RELAX because their is less work to do in every course in initial phases. But if you really want to be good in something, this initial phase where their is least burden from academics, you can actually gain +1  points here by doing some homework on your course/job and be a smart guy. 
  2. The second reason is - "First impression is the last impression". And trust me either you are in college or in a company, impression has a big role to play. So instead of representing your lazy self to your boss or your professor, you can become someone who shows interest in every meeting/lecture, who has done self study of what's going to be discussed. In short, just genuinly giving your 100% at the start of your new work. Timing cannot be more perfect.
  3. The last and very important reason is- Coming out of inertia. We all have heard about Newton' s law of inertia. I m not gonna discuss the law, so don't worry. But the law somewhere says that when some object is not moving(inertia), we need to apply some force for moving it depending upon what speed we want to give to the object. Same thing applies to our life, if we have to come out of inertia of not studying, we need to apply some motivation. Now, biggest benefit of giving 100 %  in initial phase is that the speed you want to acquire is really low and you can easily get such motivation. But if you RELAX and wait for the burden to increase, you will require equal amout of inner motivation and commitment.  
I very well know that, this is not what everyone can do and i m no one to force you. I m just trying to show some positive facts of giving 100% at right time. So guys, i hope this post will be helpful for some of us who wants to be a smart worker in his/ her field.

Top 10 Reasons why you should make HANDWRITTEN notes


What I m going to tell here are very common points but still  ignored by many as we grow more and more.

  1. First and foremost, making notes always keeps your attention onto what the teacher/trainer is saying and stops your mind from getting lost in your own world.
  2. Notes take away your reliance on your friends and make you independent in terms of studies to some extent.
  3. The habit of note making helps you from missing any key point taught in a lecture, which your brain can easily forget.
  4. Notes keeps the study material in a sequence as covered in lecture which later helps our mind while revising. Although our brain can remember many things bur remembering everything taught in a sequence is not what our brain can do easily.
  5. We can consolidate information from more than one source in one note copy.
  6. Notes are the key to fast and efficient revision. Revision is something which can become the only reason for extra brilliant performance.
  7. Having a good notes not only helps in revising but also makes an image in your mind about all topics covered in a sequence.   
  8. Studying from ppts or pdf file gives lots of stress to our eyes. Hard copy notes brings us to physical world and gives some peaceful time to our precious eyes.
  9. Making notes in a lecture gives a positive impression of yours towards the trainer/professor and makes you look different from others who are just listening.
  10. With handwritten notes its easy to mark important points with different highlighters.
I hope this post will help some of us in reminding what making notes can do.
