What to Ask the Person in the Mirror?


Talking to yourself

 To assess your performance and stay on track, you should step back and ask yourself certain key questions. For this stand in front of a mirror and ask below questions to "the Person in the Mirror".

 Q1 : What is your life VISION?

 Q2 : What are the 5 key PRIORITIES to achieve that VISION?

 Q3 : Are you able to articulate your VISION and PRIORITIES to yourself as well as to others?

 Q4 : How am I spending my time? Does it match my priorities?

 Q5 : What types of events create pressure for me?

 Q6 : How do I behave under pressure?

 Q7 : Is my behavior style comfortable? Does it reflect who I truly am i.e will I "Walk the Talk"?

 Successful leaders need to be aware of their own stress triggers and consciously modulate their behavior during these periods to make sure they are acting in ways that are consistent with their beliefs and core values.

 When leaders fail to actively plan for succession, they do not delegate sufficiently and may become decision-making bottlenecks

Rules to beat Interview jitters

* When appearing for an interview, there are four main areas that you need to pay attention to: Personal details, academic details, current affairs and ‘what you say.’

* How you maintain your posture during an interview adds to your personality. So be a little conscious on the way you move and communicate.

* Listen to the questions very carefully. If you do not understand a word or a phrase, do not stop the interviewer mid-way. Let him/her complete the sentence and then if you still have doubts ask him to clarify. Take a pause before you jump to an answer.

* While answering, speak clear and loud. Do not sound too high nor too low.

* If you do not have an answer for a particular question, be honest and say that you do not know the answer. Interviewers respect honesty and integrity.

* KISS: Keep It Short and Sweet. Do not talk too much because such candidates are disliked and misjudged instantly, so keep it short.

* Demonstrate enthusiasm but make sure you do not cross the limits. Do not be over confident about your achievements. Interviewers misinterpret them for superciliousness.

* Look into the interviewers’ eyes and talk. It exemplifies confidence and honesty. If questions are being asked in English, reply in English only. Do not use Hindi or other languages. Avoid using Hindi words like matlab, ki, maine, toh etc.

* Do not hesitate to ask questions. Interviewers appreciate such enthusiasm but avoid getting into an argument with the interviewer.

* Be cheerful. Candidates with pleasant appearance hold interviewer’s interest.

* Do not put on an accent for an interview. Speak in your natural accent.

Post interview etiquettes
Before leaving the room, make sure you thank each of the interviewer for the time they have spared to listen to you. While leaving do not forget to collect your pen/pencil or any other stationery that you have kept on the table. Before moving out, place the chair in the original position

ATTITUDE IS 100% NOT HARDWORK (98%)

SUCCESS ...


A small truth to make our Life's 100% successful...


If A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
is equal to 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.



Then, H+A+R+D+W+O+R+K = 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

K+N+O+W+L+E+D+G+E = 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

L+O+V+E=12+15+22+5=54%

L+U+C+K = 12+21+3+11 = 47%

(None of them makes 100%)...

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Then what makes 100% ?

Is it Money? ...
...No!!!!!


Leadership? ...

<> ...NO!!!!

Every problem has a solution, only if we perhaps change our

"ATTITUDE"

It is OUR ATTITUDE towards Life and Work that makes...

OUR Life 100% Successful...


A+T+T+I+T+U+D+E = 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

To achieve this 100% attitude, you must !!! be disciplined in life
