folow your passion from your current job or business

At different stage you may go for different level. Generally younger age its better to go for what you are passionate or shift quickly step by step.One should take the risk at some stage to go for what you are passionate one.
At middle age,its better to hold on close enough and try to get into the next step. However here the risk should be on the conservative side.

No matter what ever situation is you have the equal strength of exam. However it makes easier to go on life when you do what you are passionate about.

The other thing that could be done that go on with your current job /business/ vocation, and do what you are passionate about. If doing so may mean losing your job or business or status, that is the price you need to pay to follow your passion..

equality other angles: Life philosophy

Whatever situation one is in, he or she has got the same strength question for the examination of life.

It would be better to go on life if you could do what you like. So it is suggested to gradually try move to the things like,say highest one year.

However if one is in a difficult situation, still he has the same strength of exam. The Almighty put one person one setting but the exam strength is the same.

So don't complain if you do not have what the most people have. For example, you could not get kid due to medical problem whereas most people have many kids. It is the setting the Almighty has chosen.

Age does not guarantee the higher position. A younger person may be up in the hierarchy, it is quite ok. You may think that new guy who is in his youth may earn more reward point than persons died many years ago.

However whenever possible show some consideration for age and gender, but it is not mandatory.

And the final word is the at any give time all human beings are equal. So try to arrange equal setting, then natural discrimination like age and gender, atleast the basic thing of an item for lowest level, money as discriminator, then position or education as discriminator and such continued.

gradual process towards humility: Lower level bhai

Gradual process is the best for personal development. To reach goal of reaching humility in terms of salutation as most of the English spoken countries like Ireland and UK do, one may follow gradual process in Bangladesh.

He may think himself as the lower level job holder. So he would call all lower level jobholders as bhai, the other job a little bit higher status job holder as shaheb and superiors as boss or sir or other honorific.

It should be ok as senior faculty,junior faculty all alike are called sir by students in Bangladesh so to call a group of jobholder under same salutation as the intermediate step towards egalitarian salutation.

humbleness, humility, greetings dilemma : some tips

If you find difficult to say greetings first to others special,especially to those of lower social standings and not so jovial, you may keep your eyes down and verbally say greetings.In this way you will not get offended and the other person options to reply or not. Later if he replies back,you may look up.

If you feel pride and expect honorable mention, what you could do is to filter out the honorable mention as you someone says to you. In this way, you would reduce the hankering for such honorable mention.

Again use passive to others to whom it may be still socially lower status pronoun is used. And start everyone with M, Mr,Miss,Dr,Engr and end with shaheb,bhai,sir silently.

Stages of Personal development : love your work or do not work at all and related stages

1.The topmost one, the highest one and the most desired one in the pyramid is the philosophy mentioned by Kahlil Gibran, that is, love your work or do not work at all.
http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2007/12/love-your-work-or-dont-work-at-all/

2. Do something close to your passion/like according to the situations.

3. Do what one could do best according to comparative advantage

4. Do something that would provide money and a living


It is suggested one would try to go up the ladder all the time and not to stay in the lower stage for more than 1 year, highest 3 years.

Another option is to do something close to your passion for living and in the spare time do what you like. In most of the jobs, it may not be feasible but there are a few jobs where you could do so like teaching. Alternatively you may not directly involve due to restriction but give advice to your family members or someone else doing so. As the age goes up, it may be difficult to go to stage 1, in such cases spare time option may be suggested.

For women, the path would be according to the situations.

Whatever stage one stays at any given time, he is always in equal form with all, that is one is to do good and atleast refrain from doing bad things.

do what you love another narrative

You don't think you can do anything else.

That's the best reason of all to quit your job. I know what you're thinking: "I make too much in my current job; I'll never find something comparable." Or, "There just aren't any jobs where I live." Or, "I've put too much time into this company (or career or industry)."

Or, "I don't have what it takes to start my own business."

All those things are true--if you let them be true.

You can do something else. You can do lots of something "elses."

You just have to believe--and trust that your creativity, perseverance, and effort will take you to new, happier, and more fulfilling places. Thousands of people start their own businesses ever year. The only difference between you and them? They decided to take the chance. They decided to bet on themselves.

They decided that life's too short to just stay where they are instead of doing everything possible to live a better life.

complain for others , not for yourself unless its too bad

As a thumb rule, it would be better to complain for others when service has gone wrong.

For yourself, if the service is around 20 percent ok, you may not complain for you.

Do not use tangential slanted remarks, do not rebuke, do not raise voice -- what you need to say , say it in normal cool voice except in the rare case.

Kahlil Gibran’s philosophy: love your work or don't work at all

quote from Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet:

    Work is love made visible.

    And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is
better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the
temple and take alms of those who work with joy.

http://www.stevepavlina.com/blog/2007/12/love-your-work-or-dont-work-at-all/

Everyone has been made for some particular work, and the desire for
that work has been put in every heart. - Rumi - Persian Poet


If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep the streets
as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare
wrote poetry. - Martin Luther King - American Civil Rights Leader

Optimal break time: after 52 minutes work take 17 minutes break

DeskTime, a productivity app that tracks employees' computer use, peeked into its data to study the behavior of its most productive workers. The highest-performing 10 percent tended to work for 52 consecutive minutes followed by a 17-minute break. Those 17 minutes were often spent away from the computer, said Julia Gifford at The Muse, by talking a walk, doing exercises, or talking to coworkers.
http://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2014/09/science-tells-you-how-many-minutes-should-you-take-a-break-for-work-17/380369/

Perhaps managing our office energy is a lost art. In the mid-1920s, an executive in Michigan studying the productivity of his factory workers realized that his employees' efficiency was plummeting when they worked too many hours in a day or too many days in a week. He instituted new rules, including an eight-hour work day and a five-day work week. "We know from our experience in changing from six to five days and back again that we can get at least as great production in five days as we can in six," he said. "Just as the eight hour day opened our way to prosperity, so the five day week will open our way to a still greater prosperity."

That company turned out to be one of the most profitable companies of the mid-twentieth century, and the boss at its helm is remembered as one of the most talented executives in American history. His name was Henry Ford.

Take massive 10X actions, ordinary people don't take any action let alone massive action

“Assume that every project you attempt will take more time, money, energy, effort, and people than you can imagine.  Multiply every expectation by 10, and you will probably be safe.  And if doesn’t take 10 times more than anticipated, great.  It is better to be pleasantly surprised than greatly disappointed.”

1 to 3 years switch over period to the work you love

I think before you get into doing the actual thing you never what it feels. So I guess one should take a money job or business and hold on it for a year. During this time in his spare time he should explore things he likes. Then gradually moves to the job or business he likes. After a year if going for what you like risks earning too little for living still it is worth to go for it. 

For a more cautious person, he may take 2 years and highest one could take is 3 years. Well, if you notice that most of the assignment for higher management usually given for two or three years and some cases for one year. The reason may be in the first year you go most of the things encountered by the organization or system and in the second year you could implement your ideas. And if you get third year then you could tweak something based on your learning. In generally the best one usually does in second year and then it becomes like diminishing return. However, as human being life is short, it may be better to just test the ground for one year and then move on. 

Excerpts from different sources on the topic::::::::::::::::

Two routes
>>
Two Routes

There's another sense of "not everyone can do work they love" that's all too true, however. One has to make a living, and it's hard to get paid for doing work you love. There are two routes to that destination:

    The organic route: as you become more eminent, gradually to increase the parts of your job that you like at the expense of those you don't.

    The two-job route: to work at things you don't like to get money to work on things you do.

steve jobs
The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you

hobby and Great advice
>>
When you love doing something people don’t want

This is a hobby.

Doing something you enjoy that nobody will pay you for is not a sustainable career.

There are two ways to approach a hobby like this: either be content to keep it as a hobby and focus elsewhere for your income, or work hard on it until your skills are good enough that people will pay you for it.
http://blog.crew.co/love-what-you-do/

Doing what people want when you don’t love it

The other extreme is to do something you don’t enjoy which is in demand. As a day job that supports other pursuits, this can work for a limited time. But if you’re building a career doing something you don’t like, you’re heading towards chronic stress, drain, boredom, and possible burnout.

do things with speed but step by step

To reach the goal faster, decrease the time spent in that step but you could not skip the step.

You need to go step by step, there is no shortcut. However, there may be smarter ways around, still those are not shortcuts but intelligent ways to go faster through the steps.

purge ingrained code that is not working

age ingrained code
>>
purge it. anyone could be the boss or superior. We all are equal and given with different roles with same hardness test. For example, GRE one sit for today, another tomorrow and the question may come different,however it is enshrined that test hardness is the same for all.

So call sir to your boss in office, no matter whether senior in age or gender etc.

Greeting ingrained code
>>

purge it.
It is not required to greet when you see someone.
Greeting is an opportunity to earn points. Some will take it, and some not.
Again it is not required to respond to greeting. Responding to greeting is also an opportunity, though a little less than giving, to collect reward.

We all are equal , however not all could be friends or relatives or family members. So dont forcefully think that someone is my friend, it should be mutual. Look into the body language.

salam giving procedure
>>
give salam.If not responded, raise your  hand like a fist,  Do this like for three times. In the fourth time, politely say I have given salam. Now in the fifth time if still not acknowledged, it is up to your decision whether to continue greeting or stop. By the way, once you stop it does not mean you could not start giving salam again in future. With time situation changes, and the unresponding person may start acknowledging to your salam.

Do the opposite thing instead of looking down in first eye contact, keep it ,then go right to left or left to right slowly.Up to down, down to right,then left,up then down,right. This is the rhythm - right left up down right left up down!

do what you love another version according to Kahlil Jibran philosophy

Some people may think they could not be able to do what they like due to different constraints. So they keep themselves idle doing nothing. According Kahlil Jibran philosophy it may be second best option. First option is to do what you love, then if you could not go for it then sit idle, the worst option is to do what you dont like. However, one should try, without trying it is a waste of human potential.

do the opposite that would be usually done by you when you go for change

do the opposite: look into the eyes and say greetings silently. Rotate your vision slightly like up, right,left,down, up,right,left and so on. So you will not be looked as intimidating.


This way you may go for greetings for everyone.

“highest and best use” (HABU) : do what you love

In real estate, there’s a concept called “highest and best use” (HABU). Properties are valued based on the best use of the land that will produce the highest value. For example, appraisers may value a two-bedroom house on a busy street next to retail shops as if a strip mall occupied the land, because the best use of the property that produces the highest value is a strip mall and not a house. In other words, other two-bedroom houses in the town might be worth $200,000, but an investor may pay $600,000 just for the land in order to build a strip-mall.

Life philosophy practical: october 2015 : do what you love,no close enough;greeting optional, write your time schedule

Do what you love. That's it.There is nothing called close enough.

Try to continuously do better what you love. If you love to be do spiritual things more, only do so more. Otherwise do as coudl be done by average person.

Greetings bring you benefit or points to you or the other person. It also denotes close ones and in generally only around  10 close folks. So there is nothing personal if your greeting not responded or someone does not greet you. Just focus on whether someone is doing his job at average standard.

If you greet a person you would get 1 lac tk reward. If you greet first to a lower status person, you get 10 lac tk reward.The person acknowledges the greeting gets 10000 tk reward. If not acknowledged, it is deducted from his reward points. So if someone does not acknowledge you he is on loss.

Money as differentiator whenever possible.

Complain for the benefit of others though the experience is yours. So don't get too personal. Try to help others to improve.

Follow the time schedule that you make earlier. You are free to change any time but it should be written. Generally our procrastinator loving self would not change the schedule as it takes some task of writing to change!

use Mr and passive

In Bangla, many words are used from English.

So if you are in dilemma what should be salutation, use Mr irrespective of status and talk in passive form without the need of using Tumi or apni. However, better if could be completely egalitarian as in English, everyone could be called with you and first name.

For higher up, you may use their job title like Head or chief or professional title like Engr.
