”To believe in something, and not to live it, is dishonest.” – Mahatma Gandhi

These are famous words by the father of the nation, Mahatma Gandhi, which are etched in every individual’s mind, living in this country, yet often it’s the pessimism that makes room in our minds, cornering the optimistic beliefs and stagnating our growth. There are 5 such misconceptions nurtured by individuals that often end up becoming hurdles in their path to success.

  • Failing at something gets you the tag of a failure: Life in itself is a learning process and there’s always room for mistakes, since it’s the mistakes that teach you eminent lessons, which need to be rightly imbibed and implemented when encountering similar situations, after all Failure is the stepping stone to success.
  • Too old to start a new venture: Age is no barrier to foray into an unexplored or uninhibited field. As it’s said, with age comes wisdom, which makes an individual fully equipped to tackle the most unconventional and distinct endeavors.
  • Approval of family and peers on eminent issues: Considering approval of family and peers is no harm but thrusting their opinion on self to an extent that one’s own view is overshadowed does not fall under the parameters of being ethical.
  • Perfection equals success: Sometimes it’s the imperfections in life that become an impetus for people to strive harder in order to attain success. As human beings we are inherently flawed and that’s what keeps us going.
  • I am destined to do it: Man is equipped with the caliber and vision to choose the best for himself, owing to which he can judge what’s wrong and right for him, thus man makes his own destiny and not the other way round.

How to be more productive in less time

Make Time for What Matters - Chalkboard with Hand Drawn Text.

Rego Advertising

In our busy work life that’s limited to 8 hours every week, we often find ourselves in situations where we have to do more than what’s asked of us. Avoiding it isn’t an option and multitasking would only slow us down. Yet, many are able to finish their work on time and don’t let it pile up for next week.

How are they able to do it, you might wonder. Do they have a secret? Or a cheat sheet? One secret that all should know, is that they work for a very less time. In that time, they make the most use of their resources and finish every task at hand, one by one. Here are some more tips on how you can make the most of your time to be more productive:

1. Focus on one task at a time

The jobs you get in a single day are more than one and all of them come with strict deadlines. However, if you simply finish one task first and then move on to the next, it will be easier for you and won’t be tiring too.

2. Avoid multitasking

Multitasking divides your attention to other tasks, instead of focusing on one. Yes, it does help in you finishing your work at a faster rate, but it also has its setback – making mistakes. When you’re working on a single task, the chances of making mistakes are low as compared to multitasking.

3. Set a work schedule

Instead of spending your whole day at work and getting nothing done, create a work schedule, where you can devote time to work and what else needs to be done first. This way, you would be able to work faster and at a time that’s convenient to you.

4. Create a to NOT Do list

List down all the things that would take your mind away from work, be it social media sites, or gaming sites and try to avoid visiting them at your works hours. If at times when you feel the need to take a break, then visit them, but only for a short while.

5. Take a break

Our minds don’t work that well during pressure, so why let the pressure build up in the first place? Take a break every once in a while, by focusing on other activities or tasks and then get back to the work you were doing before. You’ll feel refreshed and would be able to do that job with a clear and concise mind.

What will generation be like in 100 years?

8ddaf8e6-5d1f-4a76-901f-1b4f9fde8b3f

In the next century, our generation will have undergone a massive change. Just like each and every passing century. Even many films have been made, depicting how our future generation would probably be like. The most common factor in all these films was how our generation would be living side by side with robots. Technology would have advanced into something even better. Many new cities would have emerged. Though all these are just speculations, some of them might be true.

Here are some speculative points over what our generation is going to be like in the next century:

  1. They will have the ability to communicate through thought transmission

Telepathy is a common theme in almost every other sci-fi flick. And the future generation would be able to use it. Whether the communication would be through electrical signals or words is yet to be seen.

  1. They will be able to control the weather

Climate change? Global warming? It will be a thing of the past as the future generation will have the means to create technology that can control the weather. A wonderful technology like this could help in ending droughts and control the unruly weather.

  1. Space travel will be common for them

While we in the 21st century have visited other planets through satellites and rovers, in the 22nd century the future generation will be able to travel those planets easily. Just like we frequent other countries and collect our frequent flier miles, the new generation will be collecting their space travel miles.

  1. Clothes that clean themselves would be a reality for them

Don’t you hate it when you spill some ketchup on your tees? Having to clean it again would be such a bothering chore. Obviously, the case won’t be the same 100 years into the future. Mankind would have easily invented clothes that clean themselves, making washing machines a relic of the past.

  1. They will have software to predict traffic jams before they occur

Nobody likes to be stuck in a traffic jam. Even if that jam lasts for a few minutes. Although there are apps today that can tell where a traffic jam has occurred, they can’t predict where the next one will appear. Luckily the future generation will be able to use software that can predict where a traffic jam will occur and can easily avoid it.

In today’s time, we are already seeing major advancements in terms of technology, medicine, science, etc. everything that will benefit the coming generation. For now, the best we could do is to make sure that the future generations won’t have to suffer from any wrong-doings of our current generation. And also ensure that we leave a better world for them to live in.

Our next strategy was to rope in a brand ambassador to further push our Brand Positioning of ‘The Kitchen Specialist’, pointed towards India’s most popular master chef Sanjeev Kapoor. The idea that ‘A Specialist like Sanjeev Kapoor endorses the Kitchen Specialist – Sleek’ was a proposition that appealed to the client.

Sanjeev Kapoor became Sleek’s Brand Ambassador, and he drove home the point of Sleek being a ‘Kitchen Specialist’.

The next brand campaign with Sanjeev Kapoor in a Sleek Kitchen, talking in a most matter-of-fact way about what makes Sleek a Kitchen Specialist, was an extremely believable campaign that won the trust of the consumer, and praise from even the competition.

10 Myths about Money

 

Coins and plant, isolated on white background

Money is something that drives us all to spend our adult life trying to earn more of. We can’t live without it and cannot live with it too. However, some people have built this misconception about having money that really isn’t true. In this blog we discuss these topics and bust some myths that people have regarding money

Here are 10 myths about money that everyone should know:

Buying things on sale is a great way to save money

Stylish-shopping-girl-with-big-sale-vector

People love buying a lot of things during sale, but in reality, buying things on sale has little to do with saving money. Unless you stop at the bank and deposit the difference between the sale price and the regular price, you’re not saving at all. At best, you’re simply spending less.

More money you earn, the happier you’ll be

mmw_moneyhappy_071010

One thing that everyone should know by now is that money doesn’t equals happiness. The people who earn a lot of money end up spending more as their standard of living grows. Even some research shows that what you spend your money on influences your happiness.

Money is the root of all evil

The truth is that money isn’t good or bad, it’s what you do with it that matters. You have to know that money is about choice, and you can use it to reach your goals, whether, to you, it means creating a savings account so that you don’t have to worry, donating it to charity or leaving it for your kids.

It’s too risky to invest your money

images (1)

In reality, it’s too risky to not invest your money. Suppose you have stashed some money you’ve saved in a savings account, the chances of losing that money to inflation is higher than investing it.

It’s better to use cash than credit cards while shopping

Credit-card-vs-Cash-300x228

While cash may come in handy for making purchases but using credit cards has its benefits also. Making purchases via credit cards lets us review how much we spend in one, consolidated place. Plus, credit cards offer protection like insurance for purchases, travel insurance, and the ability to dispute charges.

Wanting money doesn’t make you selfish or materialistic

worship_money

Money gives you the means to lead the kind of life you want: fulfilling, interesting, secure and independent. Being financially rich gives you choices so you can live a more rewarding life.

Making money isn’t a race

make-money-online

Competition certainly fuels some people’s desire to make more money and sometimes these competitors tend to do things that they shouldn’t for bigger payoffs. But if you stay focused on your own goals and ignore the competitors you will obviously earn more.

You don’t need to have more money to make more money

earn-more-money-this-year-800x453

Small sums can add up to big dividends if you properly use the money you have. People with less money often tend to spend the money they have. Whereas, people with more money think twice before spending it as they rather have more money than none.

Time is money

Time_is_Money__Invest_it_Wisely

Quoted by Benjamin Franklin, this statement is true in a sense that earning a salary generally involves the expenditure of time. However, the actual meaning of this statement is to make money even while you’re not working. That’s why investments, royalties and property are important in the acquisition of wealth.

More money means less time with family

Your-choice-money-down-the-drain-or-money-to-your-family

If you make a lot of money that means you get to spend less time with your family. This is obviously a myth as if you design and plan your lifestyle the right way, you’ll have plenty of time to spend with your family and make money at the same time.
