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.

Focus on one thing

Concentrating on one field gives us a tremendous edge than giving a shallow focus on various different things. The difference here is that we get a lot of information from one sector which enables us to master the field.

No innovation or dead innovation

 When you wish you can have that specification with more, like more battery life, more pixels ,more speed and more glister, you’re a forbearer of fake innovation. The advancement is good for product experience. It doesn’t give you the opportunity to make the change. This could also be identified as dead innovation or no innovation products. They are just the exaggerated versions of what’s already in the market. These who do no innovation works are copy cats. They wait for something new to happen or to someone to introduce and with no hesitation to copy them. They were well equipped to clone the Idea or product. We saw this dead innovation thing with lot of Chinese products. The result, they are not trust worthy. These type of making is simply stating that experience is no concern. Only profit does and it’s what drives them to deliver.   It is relevant to quote what Peter Thiel said “ We need flying cars, not cars with 140 characters. Folks like Peter and Elon are greatly conc...

Ideas and the growing innovations

  Great innovations often happen when multiple unheard ideas converge into single ideas within one mind or many. It cannot be questioned and expelled very early. It is backed by lot of strong notions. It might seems like a crazy one. But crazy ones are always revolutionary. People are very allergic and suspicious towards it. That is a great sign. Like Steve jobs said “ they don’t know what they want until you show them”. Although it is very nice to hear, it is difficult to push this idea ahead. First people need a base level understanding of what they are about to witness. No seeds will grow in dry sand. Making peoples mind more fertile a significant amount of work. Luckily with the help of technology, they are gathering information themselves. Technology aided and accelerated this process. On the flipside it enhanced the competition. A seed is just need to be thrown into a well fertile land, it will grow faster. Amid all these things people are required stay away from manipulation...

Thoughts on laziness

The reason for our laziness and procrastination is not that we weren't motivated, it is that we think we have more time than we think. We live in a way such that we won't die. Each and every moment we are moving towards death. We barely notice ourselves getting older and then suddenly we find ourselves passed decades without doing anything special or gaining the experience. Experience is the only way to make life favorable. An experience like this comes from facing fear and reflecting upon that. Facing the fear requires you to be attentive and not be idle

There is hardwork, diligence,focus and behind success. It might be a successful person or a product. People crafts successful stories with these elements. I mean how can there be a winning story without them. The hardness in choosing the career also intensely extends to pursue them. There are plenty of career to choose them.

Mental barrier is there to cross

 Emotional barriers are there to cross. Only those people who realize this make a good outcome. This when viewed from another perspective, we can say this is a play by the universe to make us better and stronger. We need to be mentally developed to live a better life. We see people becoming fragile when they confront with a severe life situation, they panic and get anxious. Soon they fall into depression. Until we cross this mental barrier, we won’t grow. But most people instead of facing and solving this problem, choose to escape from it by some quick fix. Of course, they would get some short-term pleasure, but the problem remains there forever until they overcome the mental and emotional barrier it puts in front. Next time a different problem arises with this level of the mental straddle. We have to break it, else it will show up in different forms.
