Every day of our life is full of experiences. There is enormous learning hidden in routine day-to-day affairs and most often we keep repeating similar patterns of life. As Osho says, life runs in a loop. We keep repeating the same mistake until we learn to correct them. Thats where the journals become important.
Journals are good way of reflecting and remebering life events. If not documented, the spicy microdetails of life are otherwise missed or forgotten and in hindsight life looks bland. It also helps in passing knowledge from one day to other, one year to next and current generation to future one.
I must admit that this blog is a guilt-realisation and regret blog. Everyday I think of putting so many thoughts on the blog but business of the schedule, lethargy at the end of the day, lack of leisure in life and lack of self-motivation drags me down.
One of the important thing about journals is that these should be written everyday or as soon as the thought pops up in the mind. Otherwise, many of the finer details and thoughts are missed. In Januray month, I had planned to write about behavioral insight learned from Office but when I sit today to recollect those events, I am not able to recall anything.
Even for February, I had planned to write 10-12 blogs on below mentioned topics but when I sit in the last few hours of February, I am failing to gather the context and content of the blog. Anyway, for my own convenience, I am putting my blog topics below. I hope someday, I will gather my thoughts and elaborate on these aspects.
1. Meeting big people: What is so different and unique about them: This was in the context of JATF meeting where I met big businessman and officers. I thought of writing my observations about people traveling in Mercedes and what was so different in their behaviour.
- Speak only when extremely necessary
- Hide your claws
- Observe
- Dig deeper
- Follow the hierarchy, at least respect it
2. IKIGAI blog: I read the book IKIGAI and made certain beautiful observations about it. Intend to write in details. Most observations are listed in the book.
3. How System functions? I have totally forgotten the context in which I intend to write this one. What is so novel which I have identified here which I intend to write?
4. Obituary messages
5. Ridicule, laughter and criticism: Importance of these three in life. Context was failure messages and strengthen life energy. Explained some of it to Kshama
6. Capitalism: Again forgot the conext
7. Principles of writing: This was in the context of book/paper/blogs, like what are the elements we should keep in mind.
