iStraightforward

My third year at college has been different… very different ->

Revelations followed by some sincere introspection leading to me forming my own philosophy for want I want, need and Life in general !

It struck me very vividly during Conquest ‘08 about the way I operated at CEL and then I noticed the same, when I was talking with her and then while I was in my wing … the same ! And the logic of induction, made it imperative for me to believe that I am Straightforward … no frills … no adjectives … plain and straightforward ( when it comes to formal and serious stuff ).

I have seen a lot of people, beating around the bush to convey a point… also not raising the hand at first…. just to ensure … that they are not the ones to whom a pointed finger is raised if something screws up ! That’s not all, when anyone raises a radical point… they spring up from nowhere … to showoff their superior knowledge and the so called “good communication skills” and shoot down the idea … kill it … murder it without any mercy !

All it needs is some patience A. One needs to be a bit more tolerant about anything that is new and out of its league.

I hate it … when you have such people, often referred as alpha fraidy cats, in the same team.

Try to be as straightforward as possible … ->

  • speak up when you have a point to make
  • speak the truth
  • accept, your opponents point ( here .. the person making a point which is contradicting the shear purpose of the point you made) …if you feel its correct
  • do not… with the power of your vocabulary … divert the discussion to make people accept your view point, knowing your point sucks !
  • If you are involved in an activity ( and not the leader) … dislike a particular thing … change it !!! do not crib and complain about it … after it has happened ! Its cheap!
  • do not beat around the bush
  • never play the blaming game

Make the journey enjoyable and cherishable !

Well, that’s about one aspect

iStraighforward

of my philosophy.

Ya, I love to prefix a lot many words with”i” … the Apple ishtyle.

Psst: Philosophy will keep uncovering itself as time passes …
