Bitter truth about life

  1. The average person lives for about 80 years, i.e approximately just 4000 weeks! If you’re 40, you’ve got about 2000. Imagine how much of that you’ve used up in pursuing something futile!
  2. More often than not, that person who’s always been there for everyone needs someone to be there for him.
  3. People can change in an instant. They don’t come with a guarantee.
  4. That person you might always be thinking of, probably doesn’t even spare you a thought.
  5. We think we’re smart now. But your
    future self might be face palming at your stupidity.
  6. Goodbyes are often painful. But it might be the best thing for you.
  7. There’s a good chance people don’t love you for who you are. Some people love the idea of you being who they want you to be.
  8. Some people just ‘love you’ depending on how much they can extract out of you.
  9. Everyone’s busy. Wait, lemme rephrase that. You’re not their priority at the moment. That time when you put their convenience above yours doesn’t matter. You need to be your no.1 priority. It’s easy for them to forget what you sacrificed.
  10. Sadly, majority of your relatives judge you on the basis of how you performed in a 3 hour test (for students), or on how much you earn (for adults).
  11. Most people think only from their point of view. Your attempts to explain yourself are successful only if it falls in line with their thinking. If its not important, you’re better off not explaining.
  12. Not everyone who advises you has got your best interest in mind.
  13. It’s easy to get attached to someone. It’s never easy to let go.
  14. You tend to judge yourself way too harsh.
  15. Nobody can help you if you aren’t going to help yourself.
Life will never be perfect, but there’s beauty in that imperfection. :)

Leave office on time

If you are a employer you may need to  pretend you run a car rental agency. It’s the end of the day and you’re waiting for a customer to turn their car in. They show up at the last minute and say “I just realized I forgot to get groceries. I know I only paid through right now, but can you let me have the car for free for a couple more hours?”
You wouldn’t give them that car for free. You would charge them. If they want to keep using the car, they need to pay for that time.
As an employer, you have the same relationship with your employees. You are renting their time. If you want them to commit more hours, then you need to rent more of their hours.
Your employees will never have as much passion for your business as you do. They are there because you’re paying them to be there, and their obligation to the business ends when the meter stops running.
If you want these employees to stay later, compensate them. Ask them to start coming in later, or offer to pay them more to stay longer. You have no right to expect a commitment of more hours than you’re paying them for.
