Life Lessons

The difference between school and life?

In school, you're taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson.

Opportunity

Alexander the Great visited the studio of a sculptor in Athens and found it was full of statues. There he saw a statue with the face covered and its feet having wings, and enquired, “what is its name?’.

The sculptor replied ‘Its name is opportunity’.

Alexander asked, “Why its face is covered?”

The sculptor said, “Because people rarely see opportunity when it passes before them.”

“But why do the feet have wings?’ Asked Alexander.

The Sculptor replied, “Because once it flies, it won’t come back. “

That is why the saying “Lost opportunity does not come back.”

You have to grab the opportunity and make the best use of it.

Building a Life

An elderly carpenter was ready to retire, and he told his boss of his plans to leave and live a more leisure life with his wife.

The contractor was sorry to see such a good worker go, and he asked the carpenter to build just one more house as a personal favour. The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see in his heart was not in his work. He resorted to shoddy workmanship and used inferior materials. It was an unfortunate way to end a dedicated career.

When the carpenter finished his work, the employer came to inspect the house. He handed the front-door key to the carpenter. “This is your house”, he said, “It is my gift to you”.

The carpenter was shocked! What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently.

Moral: - We build our lives, a day at a time, often putting less than our best into the building. Then with a shock we realize we have to live in the house we have built. If we could do it over, we’d do It much differently. But we cannot go back…

You are the carpenter of your life. Each day you hammer a nail, place a board, or erect a wall. Your attitude and choice you make today build your “House “for tomorrow… Therefore, build wisely.

Hierarchy of Needs

1 Physiological Needs

Physiological needs are those required to sustain life, such as:

• air
• water
• nourishment
• sleep

According to the theory, if such needs are not satisfied then one's motivation will arise from the quest to satisfy them. Higher needs such as social needs and esteem are not felt until one has met the needs basic to one's bodily functioning.

2, Safety

Once physiological needs are met, one's attention turns to safety and security in order to be free from the threat of physical and emotional harm. Such needs might be fulfilled by:

• Living in a safe area
• Medical insurance
• Job security
• Financial reserves

According to the theory, if a person feels that he or she is in harm's way, higher needs will not receive much attention.

3, Social Needs

Once a person has met the lower level physiological and safety needs, higher level needs become important, the first of which are social needs. Social needs are those related to interaction with other people and may include:

• Need for friends
• Need for belonging
• Need to give and receive love

4, Esteem / Prestige needs

Once a person feels a sense of "belonging", the need to feel important arises. Esteem needs may be classified as internal or external. Internal esteem needs are those related to self-esteem such as self respect and achievement. External esteem needs are those such as social status and recognition. Some esteem needs are:

• Self-respect
• Achievement
• Attention
• Recognition
• Reputation

The need for knowledge and aesthetics is the next step before Self Actualization

5, Self-Actualization

It is the quest of reaching one's full potential as a person. Unlike lower level needs, this need is never fully satisfied; as one grows psychologically there are always new opportunities to continue to grow.

Self-actualized people tend to have needs such as:

• Truth
• Justice
• Wisdom
• Meaning

Self-actualized persons have frequent occurrences of peak experiences, which are energized moments of profound happiness and harmony. According to theory, only a small percentage of the population reaches the level of self-actualization.

Implications for Management

If the theory holds, there are some important implications for management. There are opportunities to motivate individuals through management style, job design, company events, and compensation packages, some examples of which follow:

• Physiological needs: Provide lunch breaks, rest breaks, and wages that are sufficient to purchase the essentials of life.
• Safety Needs: Provide a safe working environment, retirement benefits, and job security.
•  Social Needs: Create a sense of community via team-based projects and social events.
• Esteem Needs: Recognize achievements to make individuals feel appreciated and valued. Offer job titles that convey the importance of the position.
• Self-Actualization: Provide individuals a challenge and the opportunity to reach their full career potential.

However, not all people are driven by the same needs - at any time different people may be motivated by entirely different factors. It is important to understand the needs being pursued by each individual. To motivate an individual, the leader must be able to recognize the needs level at which the individual is operating, and use those needs as levers of motivation.

Moral Story: - Changing your Perspective

One day a farmer’s donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.

            Finally he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn’t worth it to retrieve the donkey. He invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. They each grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well.

            At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone’s amazement, he quieted down. A few shovels later, the farmer looked down the well, and was astonished at what he saw. As every shovel of dirt hit his back, the donkey did something amazing. It would shake the dust off and take a step up. As the farmer’s neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up.

            Pretty soon, everyone was amazed, as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted off.

Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of a trouble is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of your troubles is a stepping-stone. You can get out of the deepest troubles just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up!

            Think of a situation you are facing now. Why not try to change your perspective from where you are to where you want to be? Changing your perspective is all within your power!

“If you want to change. Change yourselves”
