Sundar Pichai's cockroach theory Venkatachalam Salem

Sundar Pichai's cockroach theory Venkatachalam Salem

.

.
A beautiful speech by Sundar Pichai - an IIT-MIT Alumnus and CEO OF GOOGLE

The cockroach theory for self development.
   
At a restaurant, a cockroach suddenly flew from somewhere and sat on a lady.  She started screaming out of fear. With a panic stricken face and trembling voice, she started jumping, with both her hands desperately trying to get rid of the cockroach. Her reaction was contagious, as everyone in her group also got panicky.

The lady finally managed to push the cockroach away but ...it landed on another lady in the group. Now, it was the turn of the other lady in the group to continue the drama.

The waiter rushed forward to their rescue. In the relay of throwing, the cockroach next fell upon the waiter. The waiter stood firm, composed himself and observed the behavior of the cockroach on his shirt. When he was confident enough, he grabbed it with his fingers and threw it out of the restaurant.

Sipping my coffee and watching the amusement, the antenna of my mind picked up a few thoughts and started wondering, was the cockroach responsible for their histrionic behavior?

If so, then why was the waiter not disturbed?

He handled it near to perfection, without any chaos.

It is not the cockroach, but the inability of those people to handle the disturbance caused by the cockroach, that disturbed the ladies.

I realized that, it is not the shouting of my father or my boss or my wife that disturbs me, but it's my inability to handle the disturbances caused by their shouting that disturbs me.

It's not the traffic jams on the road that disturbs me, but my inability to handle the disturbance caused by the traffic jam that disturbs me.

More than the problem, it's my reaction to the problem that creates chaos in my life.

Lessons learnt from the story:

I understood, I should not REACT in life.
I should always RESPOND.

The women reacted, whereas the waiter responded.

Reactions are always instinctive whereas responses are always well thought of.

A beautiful way to understand............LIFE.

Person who is HAPPY is not because Everything is RIGHT in his Life..

 He is HAPPY because his ATTITUDE towards Everything in his Life is Right..!!

🌟🌟 Happy living 🌟🌟

Punctuality and Mr Leo Charles FULL Soft skills training Ezhilarasan

Punctuality and Mr  Leo Charles FULL A Flash back to 1998 .   Tamil translation    தமிழ் மொழிபெயர்ப்பு I happen to work as a computer software developer for a big civil contractor (Pre-qualified Contractor), Mr.Leo Charles.  He was the Managing Director of M/s. BrickSteel Enterprises, Salem. He was a crorepati and a very sincere Christian. A person with good manners and a kind heart. OTHER WORKS OF EZHILARASAN VENKATACHALAM   I can’t forget the VIP treatment he gave me in the inauguration function of his new house. Since, I was a physically challenged person, I had difficulty in sitting down on the floor like others and eat.  However, he made me sit in a separate room and made his people serve exclusively for me like a VIP.  It was a great honour for me and could not forget the experience. Very few rich people show such extremely good manners. Meeting Mr.Leo Charles for the first time. I met Mr.Charles for the first time somewhere in 1998...
