Benefits of Spontaneity


Imagine a person working in a high pressure consulting job with extremely long hours.On one day of the week he is in Jakarta Indonesia at a clients and on the other he is advising another in San Diego.He literally lives out of a suitcase.He is stationed at the London office but base location is meaningless since he travels all the time.He has not bothered to rent or buy a house-he chooses Airbnb instead when he is in London few days per month.He has bloodshot eyes and a searing headache all the time.He does not remember the last time he could have a leisurely meal which lasted an hour and was at a table.

He has no personal time for hobbies,working out or even rest.His last relationship went down the drain when his half-thai girlfriend broke up with him as she accused him of utter neglect.He has not visited his parents in 1.5 years.

He is a living corpse in a suit

He craves to go scuba diving in the Maldives and shout his lungs out as he sky dives.

He craves life .

The only way he can do it is by breaking the rut and being spontaneous.

It is wonderful to be spontaneous because it helps:
  • Break the routine
  • Have new experiences
  • Enhance our creativity
  • Feel refreshed /rejuvenated

Hence I encourage you to embrace spontaneity.

Insecure Boss Syndrome and how to deal

Hello everybody, This is my first post today and I thought i'd start with a super-common yet extremely important topic-an asshole /insecure boss . We spend a large part of our lives at the workplace and are often plagued with horrible managers.Also, it is extremely unfortunate that we do not choose our managers but they are assigned to us. A good manager can lead to motivation, growth, skill improvement and promotions while a bad one can create unhappiness, tears, emotional pain, anger and frustration. Lets first delve into the characterstics of an insecure manager: Micromanages Does not trust you Does not stand up for employees in front of clients Is overtly critical Requires updates every 5 minutes Cannot appreciate good work Feels threatened by employees who are better than him Creates and fuels team politics Plays favorites Openly insults employees Uses control as a means to feel secure Creates artificial sense of urgency Is never at peace The most im...

Anxiety before big presentation Sweaty palms before meeting stakeholders Stammering in front of client even though you know the solutions Feeling afraid about new responsibilities at work   Feeling like running away from work now that a boss who used to protect you has quit The above are common things which happen in the workplace,especially for employees who have less than 10 years of work experience.They feel non-confident in their abilities or suffer from self doubt.
