Turn up Triumph!
Dear
reader,
Announcing our "2013
Kids' Science Challenge" for Grade 3 to 8 students. As
you would have read in our 2012 Sep Back to School Edition, US students
rank 17th in World Science Standards. The goal of this event is
to challenge and encourage kids to learn the magic of science. If
you are interested send email to sc2013@theindusnetwork.com
for more details. Feel free to share this event with your friends
network. Good luck!
Coming to this edition, another new year
and another month for resolutions. Are you one
among the 12% population (read our Dec 2010 edition) who successfully
accomplished all your resolutions from last year? If not, don't
worry you belong to the majority who could not follow through their
resolutions.
Irrespective of the year, the top 10
resolution pretty much looks the same. However, due to challenging
economy, in 2013, we have "Money Management" as one of
the top-3 goals in addition to "Weight Management" and
"Health Management".
Various pundits have been providing variety
of tips in various media to help you follow your resolutions. In
this issue we have provided our own tips which you can follow to
improve the probability of accomplishing your resolutions.
First and foremost, determine and define
what "Success" means to you. For some it could be growing
in a career, for others it could be developing their own business,
or for some it could be spending time with the family. Whatever
it may be, define it and along with the definition be ready to embrace
the short-fall you may experience due to the definition. For example,
growing a career means long working hours which means less family
hours. Be ready to accept it. On the other hand, more family time
means less revenue and less career growth. Be ready to embrace the
outcomes of your decision. This will ensure that you define your
success in a right way.
Secondly, When you are defining your
success goal keep it SMART (Simple-Measurable-Actionable-Reasonable-Time
bound). For example, if you can do exercise only for 2 days in a
week then a goal to reduce 15lbs in 6 months is not a SMART goal
(not Actionable and un-Reasonable). Probably revising it to 3lbs
or 6 lbs may be a SMART move.
Finally, publish your goals to your friends
and families. The more you publish the more you will be pressured
to complete. The probability of you accomplishing such a goal is
higher than the goals which are not published.
Now that you are armed with more tips,
go and turn up triumph!
