”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.

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.

4 Money Saving Tips That Work Every Time

#Rego Advertising

Once you start getting your paychecks for your work, it’s really tempting to spend it all on everything you set your sights on. While you need the money for basic expenses like travelling, food, bills, etc. At times it’s nice to spend that money on things you may not need but still want to buy it. And before you’ve realized it, you end up spending your entire salary without saving anything. However, it’s not too late, all you need to do is start saving, even if it’s less, but at least it’s a start.

Another important thing to consider is where and how to save money. Fortunately for you it won’t be a problem as we have rounded up 4 failsafe ways for you to save money.

Record your expenses

The first step in saving money is to know how much you spend. Try making a list of your expenses and find out where your money really goes. Record even the smallest of expenses like buying a small pack of gum or a coffee at the cafeteria. Practice this habit for a month and you will come to know, every detail of your expenses. It will also help you to limit your spending on various things and save more money too.

Make a budget plan

Once you know how much your expenses are, the next step is to create a budget. Planning your budget involves dividing your expenses into ones that incur regularly and other small expenses. A budget plan ensures that you don’t over-spend on certain things and keep the money you’ve saved for emergency.

Shop Online

In today’s digital age, almost everything is available online; one needs not go to their local store when they can buy it online, that too at a cheaper rate. Many people don’t make the most of this and end up paying even more for things that could be bought at a discount online. Online shopping benefits many on a limited budget and you too can opt for this.

Set reasonable savings goals

When you want to buy something you really need, saving money for it is really easier. That’s why, it’s necessary to set a savings goal, especially one that can be easily achieved. If your goal is to buy a new home or save for retirement, it’s important to monitor its progress otherwise you might lose sight of it and end up spending that money on other expenses.

Although saving money at times might not be easier, especially in cases when money is tight, it’s important to remember that the money you save now will benefit you a lot in the long run. So make it a point to save your money at every available opportunity you get and sooner you’ll be saving more than spending it.

SEO

Search Engine Optimization or SEO as it is popularly known, ranks and then places websites on the search page as per user generated search result. Also note that there are a number of factors that go into SEO, and no single factor will guarantee higher placement.

Youth

Though many may disagree, but apparently younger people can be handy when it comes to advertising in today’s age. They understand social media better than their older counterparts and can be of use to promote their clients work to the masses through these social media tools.

What will generation be like in 100 years?

Leave a reply

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:

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.

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.

Space travel will be common for them

While we in the 21^st century have visited other planets through satellites and rovers, in the 22^nd 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.

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.

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.

10 Myths about Money

Leave a reply

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

7 Things about Youth Your Boss Should Know

Leave a reply

Today’s youth are a different lot in the workplace. They want to prove their worth in the workplace and go great lengths to do so. This is something that comes as a surprise to many Bosses and Employers who don’t know how to handle them. In this blog we have compiled a list of seven things that every Boss should know about the youth.

Here are seven things every boss should know about the youth:

Their job means everything to them

For youth their job is their life, their identity, it’s what they think about all the time. They want to succeed in their life and the way they see it, only if they are able to succeed at work, they can succeed in life.

They aren’t motivated as much by money

Many youth that live with their families don’t need too much of money to spend on things. That’s why, bigger paychecks isn’t a tool of motivation for them only an incentive for the work they do.

They aren’t shy

Today’s youth aren’t like the elders who would sit silent and watch. They want their opinion to be heard and they don’t shy away from voicing their opinions. This is in a way a good thing for the bosses, but some might see it as being disrespectful to them.

They aren’t keen on doing boring work

Youngsters want to do work that’s engaging and also is interesting. They are put-off by work that seems boring or too tedious. It’s mostly because they want to be seen doing work that contributes to the company and helps in their growth.

They are risk takers

Today’s youth are big risk takers. Unlike the old generation which consist of people doing everything they can to avoid risk, they are up for any challenge that they might come across.

They don’t stay at one place forever

Youngsters love to explore, be it the world or the work. They aren’t as loyal as many older employees who prefer to stick to one place. It’s not because they are incompetent or disloyal, it’s just that they haven’t come to the decision of what they actually want to achieve in life.

They understand technology better

Having been born at a time when technology had become a part of our lives is what gives them an edge over other senior figures. Also with time, technology became less challenging and more user-friendly. Because of that, today’s youth can do better jobs and save time as well.
