Career

Dear Mayank Sir,
I am working for three months. It is my first job.
There are two things I keep hearing. One is think outside box. The other is step outside your comfort zone.
I am the first person in my family to work in an office. I don’t want to ask in office what it means.
Can you please explain and also tell how it helps?
Thank you,
Kartik

Ans:

Hi Kartik,

There are indeed these are critical competencies to be successful in a corporate job.

‘Think outside the box’ means that you bring creativity and new thoughts in your space of work and not just follow what is told to you.

You are in the initial stage of your career but ‘being in the comfort zone’ means one is happy being in the present state and does not want to try out new challenges.

Hello my name is yash I have completed by studies in bsc it I have done jobs of cashier and application support analyst during my studies. No my studies are over I find myself to fit in job as per requirement but I am not satisfied sometimes I feel I am not meant for this I have issues from office like work extra over over time. I want to ask is there everywhere over time of employees to be spend 10-12 hours in office. Secondly I feel that should work in environment where I can move and do work means field work in which I feel I am not bounded in short I want work life balance. I love to read books, I love to do on ground activities in back of my mind I have civil services plan in which I have a permission to work freely. But condition is that how can I do if office demands max hours of my life it's bit confusing for me
Ans: Your name is Yash =Success, but you are far from it because you are on the wrong path.

The education and job as per your statement now matches your profile ,but you are not satisfied because of your work time.. Understand your predicament!

Travelled by bus,train ...realised how many hour's they are driving for you.. When you sleep!?
Forget about being a soldier you cant qualify!

Looking for a cushy and comfortable job, you have just started young man.. Get your thought process right!

The Civil Service means Govt job and you think, once you get it, you can then ruminate!?
Not any more, everywhere there are deliverable's.

Now the balance for work & life balance comes when you have the income to treat yourself, let alone repay the debt of your parent's.

Nobody stops you to do what you love but after a good days work.. Man!?

There's nothing called freely work, all gods children have bosses ,except GOD !

So your confusion of work timings will end, when you have the determination to dedicate & deliver ...success!
Got it.. there's nothing that comes on a platter! Go get it before you are left behind.. Be the YASH!

I am an industrial sales professional, with wide experience working with Indian owned companies, US MNC and now working with a US company in the US. I went through complete transformation in my style of working. From being casual happy go lucky young salesman to nearly perfectionist, sharp and 24x7 thinking salesman now. As the organizations changed, I adapted the work culture. As I grew up in the ladder, more and more passionate I became. I expected everyone to behave professionally even people out of my office and in general life. Be it a shop owner, plumber or a gardener. It is like Amitabh Bachchan as a head of Gurukul in a movie. To the extent that my wife and daughter are also experiencing my professional behavior at home. At a stage when I want to become relaxed and slowdown, leave some things to normal course, I am caged in my corporate behavior. To tell you more, I am a Cartoonist also and can find humour from anything that I see. But, my cartoons are also based on the product line my company manufactures. I am doing a lot of meditation, taking a walk and playing with my dogs but unable to change myself. How can I go back to my original self so people around me remain relaxed when I am around?
Ans: Life is a paradox of sorts it moves you around like a pendulum, before you realise, what has happened, There was a metamorphisis!?

In your case from a lazzaiz faiz to a meticulous style of life.
In your traverse you forgot the basics of live love laugh dream.

Never mind.. Better late than never, realise it's you who made it and you will change.. Slowly... Here's a recommended song you must listen to...

Settle down my boy settle down.. Men at work.. Will you please as you unwind & reform!?

If you do need further professional advice happy to assist

My child will be appearing for NEET UG 2025 for the fourth time. Each time his performance has been abysmal, which, I know, is going to be repeated this year too. We have already asked him to move ahead but he is adamant on appearing in NEET which is beyond his calibre. He doesn't have any idea what to do next, has never thought of a Plan B,C or D. Kindly guide as to how plan a career ahead for him. Is there any sort of psychoanalysis to know what is the right study option for him and where to get it done. I can't afford crores of rupees in pvt. medical colleges/abroad .I can take professional assisstance . Kindly give me contact number/ email ID. Thanks.
Ans: Hi Sir,

Don't worry. First, it's important to counsel him.

The health sector is a promising field, which is why I believe your son is so determined to appear for the NEET exam, even though this will be his fourth attempt. It’s natural for him to feel a bit worried. I think he needs to reflect on why he hasn't been able to succeed so far. It's crucial for him to analyze where the problems lie. For example, if he's struggling with chemistry, he should focus more on that subject, as well as the others he finds challenging.

He has a lot of homework to do, including taking mock tests and learning effective strategies rather than just simple ideas.

I have one question: Has he enrolled in any study or coaching center for NEET preparation? If so, it would be beneficial to discuss ways to improve his performance.
If he has prepared himself, kindly approach the best coaching center near your area. For more information about us, you can contact the admin.

Poocho. Life Change Karo!
