I have gone
through training about culture of different clients that we are dealing with
verses our own culture. Most of our clients are from US, Europe and Japan. As
we know we will find various type of culture in miles away on our journey from
one place to another in India. However, a common culture we will find ourselves
that we used to welcome outsiders compared to insiders. We used to restrict
ourselves in thinking. If we will think something also we used restrict to put
those things in work by ourselves, or create a circumstance which will restrict
us or by our surrounding people, specially our parents the nearest one.
I learned how we
are restricted ourselves by our parents from childhood telling us not to do
this not to do that and rarely telling us to go on our way. I remember my
parents not letting me go to scout because they have to leave me early to
school. Till now my mind is working on that way. Though I know I am correct I
used to divert by others if they will tell me “May be you will get problem if you
will do that" without telling a reason why. Never had we used to think the
positive site compare to the negative site.
One thing
I liked about the training, where trainer who is a senior manager of my project
told us that always we used to ask by others that what the negative behavior
that we want to correct are. But rarely we used asked by that what our positive
behavior those are we want or like to cherish.
He told us to list
our positive characters that you can make it better and stronger to use in
future compare to list out negative behavior. Though we have to remember the
later but in our back of mind to use or learn from that whenever require. So we
can enhance our positive thinking and behavior.
As per the
thinking we are judgmental and accepted by other because of our behavior, which
is presented by our action and word.
Behavior <- Action
& Word <- Thought <- Attitude <- Belief <- Values <- Culture/Upbringing
And thinking about
upbringing!How you will open your mind when parents used to restrict
everything. They used to decide and tell what to do and not to do. If something
u like to do and it is good enough to do also, as they don’t like or want their
child to spent that time in study, reason for they never allowed to us. Like
this each every innovation or ideas was suppressed inside our mind. I am
looking out today’s parents who are little opened up towards their child. Still
somewhere our upbringing restricts to do the same for our children too.
Sometime without thinking this generation parents also used to force their
children not to do same activity which they like and useful for their child’s
future.
Second thing I like about the question asked by him “If you are
professional”. Yes was our answer. Next question was “If we are a World class
professional”, which is obviously “No”. Then he asked another question if we
are “World class Person?” answer of this also is “No”. When we discussed about
this we are not even city class person how we can look at World class? What we
did for our people, if we are doing anything? Then in back of my mind it was
going on if we are doing anything for our family?Where everything starts to
make it world class?
My answer was “Yes
some extent”. Then what should be next step? City class. What should I do for
that? How to start? Answer I don’t have though have one dream is there with a
ladder without stepping up, so clean and unused!
And talking about
my dreams, that is not a big one. Just I want to make a mountain green for
future generation with all type tree on that and birds and some nice animals.
And another small one gets a nice hospital in our city for nearby people with
dedicated doctors and nurses like Sathya Sai Baba hospitals!!
Whoever reads this
lend your hand and mind to help me on this...
