7 Steps of Happiness

7 Steps of Happiness

Who does not want to be happy in life?

I’m not one of them who does not want to live a happy life. No matter it is personal life or professional life. Happiness is the key to perform better in everywhere. If we are in happy mood, we become more productive.

In my short life, I have found a lot of people who are not feeling happy in their life. I started digging into the facts and tried to identify the issues which can make a person happy. I tried, tried and tried, and at last I am in a stage that I have started believing the following facts which make me happy. I believe these will make you feel happy in your life. That’s why I am going to share these to you.

Let me start sharing the facts.

Talk less listen more:

Yeah, if you try to listen more, I am sure you will get a lot of answers which make you feel better.

Complain less, Appreciate more:

We are human beings. Its our nature to complain whenever things are not in our ways. But we do not want to watch the facts/issues in 360 degree view. We should take the initiatives to watch the facts in 360 degree way and try to appreciate more.

Think less, Feel more:

I am sure a lot of people around us always thinks but they never try to feel the facts. To get into the facts, we should try to feel it. No matter what it is! When we start thinking, it increases our anxiety. But if we try to understand by feeling it, things get easier.

Judge less, Accept more:

Of course we have to judge the matters. But we should also have to be accept the challenges. Before starting to judge, its better to see it in 360 degree view. And accept as much as possible.

Fear less, Love more:

In our lives, it’s a common fact to arise issues, problems. It’s a part of our lives. That does not mean that we have to be in fear of those difficulties. Instead, we have to be more positive to love it and grab it as a challenge.

Watch less, Do more:

To be productive, we have to be active. We should have the nature of “Go & Grab It” rather than just watching. Starting to do would let us have many opportunities in learning, advancing, being productive and many more. In fact when we are in work, no other negative feeling will be with us.

Frown less, Smile more:

Frowning is the fact which is carried by maximum people. But, we should remember that when we are in frowning, we are getting nothing and our status gets worst. But if we try smiling, it would make us feel better. And whenever we are feeling better, we are ready to step ahead.

Difference between Effective manager and Efficient manager

Difference between Effective manager and Efficient manager

In this writing I am going to describe the differences between Effective manager and Efficient manager. I hope this would help you.


Effective manager: a manager who helps others achieve high performance and satisfaction in their work. An effective manager has high effectiveness in management. Effectiveness refers to the total output generated. An effective manager is slightly different from the efficient one. The effective manager focuses on productivity rather than increased/balanced profitability. An effective manager is someone who leads, coordinates and filters various activities of the sub-ordinates and decides an appropriate mechanism to work upon. An effective manager usually works without any constraints such as funds, manpower etc. The focus always implies on better management practices and in turn, better output.

An efficient Manager:

• Does the right things.
• Applies knowledge.
• Works smarter.
• Exploits opportunities.
• Sees an opportunity in every problem.
• Interprets data.
• Makes money.
• Optimizes profit

Efficient Manager: An efficient manager has high efficiency. Efficiency refers to the economy in use of resources for performing a task. An efficient manager is one who uses limited resources available viz., time, material and men to get the job done in a more professional manner. An efficient manager would keep the business running even in dire circumstances. An efficient manager:

• Does things right.
• Acquires knowledge. 
• Works harder. 
• Solves problems. 
• Sees a problem in every opportunity. 
• Collects data. 
• Saves money. 
• Maximizes profit.

That's all for this note. I would be happy to get feedback.
