What is Creativity?

By - Sudhir Pai

Creativity is the quality that we bring to the activity we are doing. It is an attitude, an inner approach - how we look at things.

Whatever we do, if we do it joyfully, if we do it lovingly, it is creative. Creativity is the act of turning new and imaginative ideas into reality. Creativity is what makes us human beings unique. It is a gift to us from nature. Look around, everything we see was a result of creative thinking by human mind. Air Conditioners, Mobile Phones, Trains, Aeroplanes everything was a result of creative thinking.

Creative people develop a flexible and open mindset. Either they are born with this trait or over a period of time they develop this trait which evolves them into creative human beings.
They are not childish but child-like.

The world seems to be divided between creative and non creative people. Creativity is all about being fully alive and living courageously.

The right side of human brain is primarily responsible for creative insights. We need to regularly activate it by doing creative activities like dreaming, painting, singing, listening to music.

Farmer who became Teacher

70-year-old Keshav Saran began his career as a teacher in the Adult Education Centre of Kharadia village. Currently, 1,320 students are enrolled in the school, including 670 girls. Keshav who was a farmer was elected as the Pradhan of his village in 1988. Extremely dedicated towards the development of his village, he did not leave any stone unturned to reach officers who could help get all the amenities. However, he realized that had he been as educated as those officers, he would be able to accomplish a lot more. It became clear to him that education meant power.

He started off with five or six children but the word of mouth popularised the classes and within a span of few months, the strength of his class grew to 150. Encouraged by the response, he developed the 'chaupal' classes into a formal school, built on his 4 acres of agricultural land in 1975 which also received a junior high school recognition.

His son and daughter, both qualified teachers, were also involved in the initiative. With 21 other teaching staff members, the school received recognition of an inter college in 2009.

As a tribute to the long years of Saran's struggle and dedication, it was named Keshav Inter College.

Keshav’s son, Arun Kumar, and his daughter-in-law, Krishna, also help him run the college. The school has 21 teaching and staff members but the Sarans still charge a minimal fee to the students.

Goonj - Anshu Gupta

Article - Sudhir Pai

Anshu Gupta is an Indian social entrepreneur who founded Goonj, a Delhi-based non-governmental organisation that positions under-utilised clothes from urban areas to rural areas. He won Ramon Magsaysay Award in 2015 for his genuine effort of clothing the poor via his NGO Goonj.

After completing his studies he joined corporate sector. But was completely disillusioned by the rat race and selfish attitude. He wanted to give back something to the society. So ultimately in 1998, he left Escorts as Manager, Corporate Communication in 1998 to work full time on his idea of social work.

Goonj, his dream for many years, was set up in the same year. From collecting clothes from his own house and friends and then distributing them on the roads in the chilly winter nights of Delhi, his dream has come a long way.

Under Goonj's flagship 'Cloth for Work' initiative village communities across India work on their own issues and get the urban clothes and materials as a reward for their efforts.

Anshu was quoted saying - We promote the idea of cloth-for-work where people who do work are rewarded with material. There is a sense of dignity in this.

Develop good memory

By : Sudhir Pai

Everyday our brain has opportunity to develop new cells and newer neural connections and pathways. This ability of our amazing brain to constantly renew itself and become more sharper and intelligent is called as neuroplasticity.

We must be aware and train our brain using this concept of neuroplasticity to improve our memory power as well. So how can we do it?

1) Diet plays an important role. Eat fresh fruits, walnuts, almonds.

2) Drink 1-2 cups of coffee. It helps to keep our mind alert and improve memory.

3) Walk for 45 minutes daily. It should be brisk and and at end of walk we should feel happy and light headed.

4) Affirmations can do wonders. Regularly talk to yourself and tell that you have great memory.

5) Smiling and laughing reduces stress, increases happy hormones called endorphins and thereby improves memory.

6) Solve puzzles.

7) Play Chess and Carrom.

8) Try to recall entire day event at end of day and put it in diary.

So I wish all my readers a happy day ahead and smile your way to a great memory.

To live a holistic happy and successful life I have:

1) 2 books

2) 10 CDs

3) Individual counselling

4) Group seminars

Roger Bannister: The Four Minute Mile

Sir Roger Bannister, is the first person to run 1 mile before 4 minutes. Till 1954, sports psychologists, doctors and atheletes believed that running 1 mile under 4 minutes is physically and psychologically not possible for any human.

How To Live Cashless ?

Source : Rediff

Most urban Indians have been managing their lives with difficult-to-obtain cash since that late night prime ministerial proclamation two weeks ago.

The daily travails and the plight of the largely cash-run Indian countryside stare at you from newspaper front pages and television screens even as full-page newspaper advertisements inserted by ewallet companies urge Indians to go cashless.

Abhishant Pant, 36, a FinTech professional, has been living in a cashless state of mind for several months now.

While Indians rush to banks and ATMs to deposit/exchange no-longer-legal-tender Rs 500/Rs 1,000 bank notes and withdraw cash, Pant is chilling at home. He only had loose change amounting to Rs 546 in his 'piggy bank' when the PM declared the note ban.

"I was giving a lecture on payments at an IIT conference in February when someone asked whether it is possible to live without cash in this era of digital payments. I felt it was possible and decided to execute the idea myself," he says.

He was to travel to Singapore and felt he would not face any problems in that nation, arriving without cash in hand. Reality confronted him soon enough at Singapore's Changi airport when he hailed a taxi.

"The taxiwallah refused to take digital payment. So, I had to wait for another cab. Luckily, the third taxi I hailed agreed to do so," Abishant recalls.
Why didn't he carry some cash for an emergency?

"I intentionally didn't," he says. "When you have a safety net, your experience is not real. If I knew I had an option, I would have opted for it. I would have ended up paying in cash, which I did not want. I survived in Singapore for five days only on digital payments."

When Abhishant wrote about his experience, Cashless in Singapore and learning for India on LinkedIn, readers said it was possible to do so in Singapore, but not in India.

3 steps of getting a dream job

If you are looking for getting a dream job, then you need to take out time to think, plan, strategize and take intelligent actions.

During my various coaching sessions with job seekers and their subsequent success in getting a dream job, I have come to conclusion that below 3 steps can help you land in your dream job:

1) Clarity:

We should be very clear in terms of job profile and salary. This is first essential step. I mean the candidate has to be 100% crystal clear as to what exactly is he expecting out of the job he / she is going to do.

With increased number of options, it is very natural to feel excited to make an attempt to all available options. This is biggest mistake a job seeker makes while searching a dream job and often land up in a boring job and get stuck there and remain frustrated throughout the life.

Be very clear as to what are we expecting out of the job.

2) Create an online resume:

Everyone will send a resume. But you can be better than that. You can create a personal website. Make it look very professional. Showcase your enthusiasm. Show your creative side.

It will only send a positive message to recruiters that you are not only a go getter but also a creative person.

3) Brush up LinkedIn profile:

A professional LinkedIn profile is must for those who are looking for getting a dream job. It is also a valuable resource for those who are trying to search a perfect candidate for their job vacancy.

So, it is very essential to brush up your LinkedIn profile on regular basis. And your profile must show a pleasant professional outlook.

So, spend a quality time upgrading your LinkedIn profile on regular basis.
