FOCUS
The Difference between Focusing on Problems and Focusing on Solutions
Case 1
When NASA began the launch of astronauts into space, they found out that the pens wouldn't work at zero gravity (ink won't flow down to the writing surface).
To solve this problem, it took them one decade and $12 million. They developed a pen that worked at zero gravity, upside down, underwater, in practically any surface including crystal and in a temperature range from below freezing to over 300 degrees C.
And what did the Russians do...??
They used a Pencil!!!
Case 2
One of the most memorable case studies on Japanese management was the case of the empty soap box, which happened in one of Japan 's biggest cosmetics companies.
The company received a complaint that a consumer had bought a soap box that was empty. Immediately the authorities isolated the problem to the assembly line,
which transported all the packaged boxes of soap to the delivery department.
For some reason, one soap box went through the assembly line empty.
Management asked its engineers to solve the problem.
Post-haste, the engineers worked hard to devise an X-ray machine with high-resolution monitors manned by two people to watch all the soap boxes that passed through the line to make sure they were not empty.
No doubt, they worked hard and they worked fast but they spent a whoopee amount to do so.
But when a rank-and-file employee in a small company was posed with the same problem,
he did not get into complications of X-rays, etc., but instead came out with another solution
He bought a strong industrial electric fan and pointed it at the assembly line.
He switched the fan on, and as each soap box passed the fan,
it simply blew the empty boxes out of the line.
Moral
Always look for simple solutions.
Devise the simplest possible solution that solves the problems.
An ant can be killed in two ways......
1) By squashing it with your hand
2) By bombarding it with a missile
Choose your way!!

HARD WORK -- THE WAY TO SUCCESS
Airtel Man
Sunil Mittal was mediocre in studies but wanted to make a mark in business. After finishing his graduation, he started a small bicycle manufacturing business. He also tried his hand at making steel utensils, but not too successfully. Mittal then started selling imported generators and set up a countrywide sales operation. However, a change in government policy forced him to close down that business. Bur Mittal wasn’t disheartened. He started makinf pish – button telephones. In the 1990’s, when the telecommunication sector in the country promised huge profits, Mittal decided to try and grab a share. He had little chance of success since he would have to compete with huge companies with mammoth budgets. But the gritty Mittal worked (and still works ) almost eighteen hours a day and not just beat the competition but made Bharti Enterprise a 2.7 billion dollar group.
Mittal’s success wasn’t because he was outstandingly brilliant or knew people in high places or was born rich.. It was simply his dedication, hard work and will to succeed that led him to build one of India’s largest telecom companies.
Which of the following words would you associate with Sunil Bharti Mittal ?
AMBITIOUS
DEDICATED
HARD WORKING
STRONG WILLED
OPTIMISTIC
DISCIPLINED
FOCUSED
DISINTERESTED
IDLE
SINCERE
CARELESS
PERSEVERANT
ENTHUSIASTIC
FICKLE
GOAL ORIENTED
PATIENT
What is your greatest achievement? Did any of the above listed qualities contribute to your success? What do you learn from the experience ?
Success depends on a lot of things---- opportunities, talent, luck, fate, your effort and help from others, to name a few. Of these , the only thing in your control is the effort you put in. All other factors will be completely wasted if you don’t work hard at the right time. Also you never know when luck and destiny are in your favour. So it is better to be habitually hard working rather than regret having missed out on an opportunity.
If you study the life of successful people in any field, the common thresd running through them will be hard work and sincerity. You might think that actors and models do little work. They just look pretty but earn pots of money. But don’t they work out for hours in the gym , take grooming classes , practice walking the ramp or memorise theit dialogues and most of all sacrifice all the goog things --- pizzas , cokes, chocolates, ice creams?
To an outsider it may seem easy , but success does not come easy in any profession.
