They must know WHY

When it comes to motivate people we use strategies after strategies. Offering them incentives and bonus. Medical reimbursement and insurance. Everything is financial and greatly luring. It's like exploiting the needs to the benifits of companies. Money is a great motivator untill the need become non financial. People also like to have status and high profile. They like being famous. Fame is an  inherent instinct from the very beginning of mankind. Organization and employees tend to bargain for each others need. They say you do more work, we give  more money. This might feel perfectly okay for both since they are satisfied with the offer. But neither of them get anything better. There could be more work done and more money exchange, but no big difference. It applies to corporations and employees in two different ways.
1. For employees, it won't solve any of their financial problems.
2. For the companies, the graph still be the same.
   Giving an interpretation might be good to understand what's really happening here.
Why isn't for employees
The money problem never fades away unless there is no desire for possession. This is a kind of buddhist way of thinking but it makes sense. It is also true that not all of us wants a buddhist life. Desire is ingrained in the primitive brain. Money can solve the instantaneous problems which eventually leads to even more bigger problem. Again salary rise is what we demand for. This is like a cyclic process, we arrive at the initial point after a couple of units. The life leaps to where the money lurks. This is an insane situation.
Definitely not for companies
  When companies tries to inspire the employees with money (which is a universal motivator) they kind of loose the integrity and reputation. Each time an incentive is created through money, it's gonna compell the workers to seek for more financial incentives to do extra. They won't care about the economic status of the company. They just need what they demand for. It even get worse when they ask for more paid vacations. They don't consider they are working to make something happen nor do they care about improvement. Gradually they lose the interest and starts to suspect their stand. " Why am I working here ?" won't be too far. The company might eventually get identified by a bunch of people working for money. Every company starts with a vision and starts to shut when they veer from it.
 
   This is observed in everywhere and consequences are clearly visible. That is why it is important to acknowledge workers on why they are working. It's not just about what they were doing there at any moment. This is about the same thing why the company stands for. It is clearly evident in people working at companies whose aim is absolutely larger and insane than their competitors. People won't quit from there. They know they are working on is larger and it exalts a sense of purpose. Working on purpose injects satisfaction.

Use information for seduction

The ability to get out of yourself and dig into other people's lives can be useful when it comes to seduction. we must let ourselves subside and know the opposite person well. Know what they want, what they like, how they would react to different circumstances, and whey they like and dislike. During this process of minute scrutiny, never leave a clue that might lead to suspicion. Digest this information and keep tracking the person occasionally and ask them subtly about those private things to show you really care what they said. This sense of feeling that this person cares about us when used correctly can be a tool for seduction.

Breaking down to the elements

Although after spending lot of time in studying and learning a particular subject , we stumble upon coming up with ideas. No creative way of expressing the bit of information gathered so far. Reading some books, going through multiple articles and talking to a lot of people (master at the things you wish to know )might help to boost the knowledge. But no use to making it a part of your thinking. I mean you can't. But it could be done. It doesn't mean that you have to work eighty hours a week, it means you have to know how to learn before learning. It's like making a smart move. Lot of scientifically proven techniques are available in the internet. All of it points at the same direction , it is to break the elements into its basic elements. If you are an aspiring entrepreneur craving to come up with innovation and creative ideas you must dig into the roots.   The reasoning done through own scrutinizing study leads to connect the probability streams to a great idea.

Fixing an intimidating deadline

 Fixing a time which has a limited duration is what actually drives the person. Vaguely making any commitment would always ends up unfinished. The thing that is observed throughout this vague sense is tha false belief of there is plenty of time exists. That's in a way correct. But the moment tha thought rushes in, every things get grubby. The natural tendency of us towards laziness is far more comfortable than any. This is well appreciated by our second self who wants to live in the darkness of comfort zone. This evil self hates dead line and flees at the time of deadline making it all to our good self which wants to finish first thing first. This deed self often get offended by the evil part. Evil part is expert at making us blind to the truth. Although it is clear that you won't make it unless by starting now, you chose not to. That's is the resistance that keeps the exalted version at bay.  This is not good for us. We want to shut those negatives up. Let's intimidat

Why we don't need jargons ?

Before giving why we don't need jargons, why not look at why we need jargons . Jargons play a key role in presentations, meetings, classes and even at interviews. They play in such away that we can extend our fake identity. Using such jargon terms, we can play pretend like we knew everything. We can make them believe that we are the right person. Actually we can fake them consciously by faking our own selves unconsciously. Do not paly this dirt with the field experts, you're likely gonna tear yourself. Beware especially when you're in the midst of mob. You can fake the fools. A great salesperson when confronts her customer never goes with cold terms that turns everything more complicated. They understand the psychology and closes the deal as simple as possible. By simple I meant, she never leaves the customer with; " What's is that thing you said just before ? " Jargons provide an actual safe and effortless place where you can hide your naive knowledge. And yo

Existence of god

Gods existence primarily stands at the inability of science to declare what's beyond the universe. Earlier people used to reclaim this belief using the explanation of sun and thunder. But lately scientific improvement led to the discovery of nature of sun and thunder and this thereby ending the myth. Gods existence will only prevail at the unknown phenomenon and unanswered questions.

Becoming rich and staying rich

Becoming rich and staying rich are two different things. Becoming rich involves a lot of effort and getting out of the comfort zone. Of course, you need to work your ass off. But staying rich requires intelligence. Because money put on depreciating assets can reduce the wealth into half within a short period. All the efforts that were put on creating this massive wealth goes in vain. Staying rich is equally important as becoming rich.

Mental development

Why would anyone care about the neighbors while he got loads of shit to do? Whether we have enough time or more than enough time, we do focus on our things. Apparently, this is not good for society. The kids growing up always expresses their curiosity to peep inside the neighbors' home. They are complete stranger to him and when he notices that his neighbors are not in term with his family, it will instill in his mind and he accept the irony that one should not consider smiling towards the stranger even when he is sitting near him. Kids take this behavior and struggle to make relationships in the future.

Growth is super fast

  Looking at the rate of growth of the world, we could arguably say that the growth is accelerated from the last two decade. The graph is clearly exponential. It is already predicted that the it would be further exponential. From the eyes of this decade, it is most likely to find a horizontal graph when looking at couple of centuries before. There were agricultural, industrial and even the cognitive revolution took place. It is considered to be the slow growth period relative to what is happening now. But for a person living at the time of industrial revolution must have thought that it was the biggest ever revolution that happened so far. That is totally right. Not a single country dared to expel it. Most of them feared of being left behind. Revolution became inevitable in the modern world. We are witnessing and partaking in lots of it. Among the foremost one is AI revolution. Some of the Scandinavian countries are still at the verge of digital revolution. They need some time to make

The toothbrush test

  To release a product that is worthy of shipping or an idea that is worthy of spreading, it must be of elegant use. No product reigns the market if it is for one time use. We buy products for using more than once. All the things that went revolutionary can be of multiple use or can be used multiple times. There is one test that most of the entrepreneurs use when the launch an idea or company based on that, it is famously known as the Toothbrush test .   This a funny yet powerful test that determines whether the product can be used more than once (keeping in mind that people do brush twice or even thrice a day). If it does it is worthy of launching and investing. All the now products are based on this simple test. People behind that do make sure that it went through toothbrushing process . We can see lot of new products on the market are toothbrushing product. Because we like to have a product which is of multiple use. That saves money and time. People do consider these to factors
