1. Problems in life cannot be prevented.
2. These are our challenges, and by solving them we increase our own spiritual development.
3. Actually every new problem makes us smarter than before.
4. Whenever there is a problem in life, think with a cool mind what measures can be taken to overcome it.
5. Never let worries rise in your mind, because they only lead to the pyre and do not give any solution.
1. Question yourself what exactly you are afraid of.
2. Then think what is the real reason for this fear.
3. Next, imagine positively about that fear.
4. If you are afraid of swimming, imagine that you are swimming happily in the river.
5. If you are afraid of getting separated from someone, then imagine that he is promising to be with you every second.
6. If you are afraid of losing someone or something, imagine that even if this happens, will your life not be able to continue?
7. Whenever you are afraid, think about your worst day ever.
8. Then tell yourself that when you had successfully overcome that bad day, you can do anything in life.
9. By knowing the truth of life, you will be able to overcome fear, and no situation will scare you.
10. This method of achieving success over fear is called "imagination therapy".
Cyber bullying
What is it?
You are a victim of cyber bullying, if someone is sending you intimidating or harassing messages, or is putting derogatory comments under your photos.
How to tackle it?
1. Collect evidence
- Take screenshots of the derogatory comments or posts for filing a complaint.
- Mark them with the date and name of the person who posted it even if it is a fake name.
- Download posted photos or videos, as these may have helpful hidden information.
- After collecting all the evidence, block these bullies.
2. Privacy settings
- Be careful about what you share online.
- Always check your privacy settings on all your social accounts.
- Delete any personally identifying information such as your address, location, phone number, or date of birth
- Share such info only with people you feel comfortable with.
- Set photos in your profile to private, so that people you don't trust cannot see them.
- Ask a friend to see what is visible in your profile.
- Make your account completely private depending on your priority.
3. Don't take bullying comments personally
- Ignore inappropriate messages, if possible.
- Never retaliate by writing a nasty post, as it will only worsen the situation.
- Do not doubt your views or beliefs because of the rude comments by any person.
- Don't re-read the offending comments as this will only spoil your mood and increase anger.
- Report such texts to a group moderator, if possible.
4. Listen to others
- Always understand that not everyone will have the same beliefs or views as you do.
- While you are interacting with someone for the first time, be receptive to their opinions.
- At times, a rude comment might only be a different opinion.
5. Always talk it out
- Don't get disturbed or stressed on personal comments.
- Talk about it with someone trusted friend or someone in the family.
- Gather courage to stop the bullying behaviour to enjoy your online experience.
- Raise awareness about bullying.
- Help those who are being bullied.
CAMEL - INSTITUTIONAL BOARD REPRESENTATIVE
1. The Camel - like the Institutional board representative - does not belong to the Corporate Jungle, but being a part of the animal kingdom, he finds representation.
2. Camel is always discontented and shows its ugly face at all times, and if treatment is unbearable at times, he gives a nasty bite.
3. This is the usual behaviour of an outsider and nobody even pats a Camel or puts his hand on his shoulder affectionately.
4. Camels are considered stupid, impudent and too impatient by the entire Corporate Jungle.
BEAR - UNION LEADER
1. A Bear - like a Union leader - always believes that he must do things inspired by mischief, or downright malice, and always likes his desire to be fulfilled.
2. He flies into rage when his desires are thwarted - especially when some food is offered and withheld - and can change from a playful mood to anger without any warning.
3. He also becomes ferocious when it comes to defending those under his care, and though he appears to be slow, he can attain a great speed for short distances - like a Union leader does when finalising negotiations.
LITTLE BABOONS - MANAGEMENT TRAINEES
1. Most Baboon kids are disciplined - like Management trainess - but have a penchant to get into trouble due to their inquisitive nature and over-confidence.
2. The young Baboon is a funny creature - with a heavy head and large mischievous eyes - but his mother - the Boss - thinks he is the most beautiful and intelligent creature.
3. Baboon kids are extremely active, play a great deal, rolling and squeaking to make their presence felt, but when there is a real problem, they immediately cling to the mother for help.
CHAMELEON - JUNIOR EXECUTIVE
1. Like the Chameleon, a Junior executive's job is to keep in tune with the boss's views, and remain constantly alert for any change in their opinion.
2. When the boss agrees, he also does the same, and if the boss changes his stand, he too does likewise immediately.
3. In short, he is flexible and adapts himself to the environment - a quality much valued by bosses.
4. Imitation is the best form of flattery, and also safety, as it dispels all fear about others.
OWL - MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT
1. With his large round eyes, sharp curved nose, and infrequent appearance, the wise Owl gives the impression of a Management consultant.
2. But, in fact, he is not half as intelligent as the common Crow, wh is seen everywhere and despised inspite of his good job of cleaning the environment.
3. The Owl likes to be around when all others are away, so that his actions are not seen or questioned.
GIRAFFE - CORPORATE PLANNING MANAGER
1. Like men of stature and experience, the job of the Giraffe is to peer far ahead - equivalent of a Corporate Planner - and keeps his head well above the rest of the crowd.
2. He is a rather shy beast and likes to isolate himeself from the rest of the animals, and especially avoids noisier animals like the Cimpanzee and the Gorilla.
3. As the Giraffe gazes far with a liquid sorrowful expression in his eyes, trying to understand the futrue, he meets with as much success as the Corporate Planner.
SLOTH - ADMINISTRATION MANAGER
1. Sloth is known as the sluggard of the jungle because, unless disturbed, he never moves during the day, just as no paper moves from the the table of the Administration manager unless there is pressure to do so.
2. The Sloth is such a masterpiece of immobility that even tiny green plants grow up in his coarse hair, just like bureaucratic vines tie up an Administration manager.
3. Even when shot, the Sloth clings to the branch with his claws, and nobody, not even the Sloth, knows whether he is alive or dead, and similar inactiveness is not uncommon with the Administration department too, where you often wonder whether people are alive or dead.
CHIMPANZEE - PUBLIC RELATIONS MANAGER
1. Chimpanzee is the self-appointed Public relations manager of the jungle and believes that making noice means that he is active and that it builds his image.
2. Despite this, he avoids confrontations of all sorts and after usual tantrums, he becomes his clownish self once more.
3. Though he has the ability to perform some of the higher level functions, and is regarded as highly intelligent, there is evidence to suggest that he has been overrated in this respect.
4. He also often tries to attract attention of the audience by playing on their emotions.
JACKAL - PERSONNEL MANAGER
1. As the shrewedest among animals, the Jackal has a lot in common with the Personnel manager who is a secret and smooth operator, with no one knowing what his plans are.
2. He rarely confronts an animal larger than himself, but if someone els attacks and kills, he readily joins to share the spoils.
3. He is a silent prowler and nothing escapes his notice, and will also defend himself ferociously if he is trapped, although he generally prefers to keep out of trouble.
4. Just like the Personnel manager tries to win the confidence of the Managing Director, the Jackal also tries to please the larger predators.
VULTURE - FINANCE MANAGER
1. With his sharp eyes for details, and love for perfection, the Finance manager is similar to the Vulture, and like it, he always comes after the event is over.
2. Like a good accountant, the Vulture ensures that nothing is wasted, and can spot an erring anmal or bird from far away and swoop down on them along with other vultures, which is called Auditing in respectable circles.
3. But inspite of his ugly appearance and rather disgusting manners, the Vulture has the vital function of keeping the jungle clean, just like the accountant who sees that the accounts look clean for the external auditors.
4. The Finance manager has a thankless job and is usually unpopular with other animals.
GORILLA - SALES MANAGER
1. Eyes spitting fire, nostrils flared, grinding teeth is the usual picture of an angry Sales manager, and like a frustrated Gorilla, he thumps his chest (or table) to emphasise his authority.
2. Inspite of his uncouth appearance and occassional tantrums, the Gorilla is not as ferocious as we think, and when not angry he is good natured and playful.
3. He is also a good eater and likes to roam in search of new pastures and may be away from home for a number of days, although he does not like to go too far away to difficult or unknown areas.
4. Just as the Gorilla likes to swing from place to place, a Sales manager also likes to swing from place to place through transfers.
RHINOCEROS - PRODUCTION MANAGER
1. Shortsighted and short tempered like the rhino, a Production manager is always under pressure, and though naturally clumsy and liking to remain in one place, he can move like lightning if the need arises.
2. Without warning, or without any visible provocation, he may charge at other animals with whom he had been in the best of terms till then, and if the quarry gets away, he shows his anger on the nearest one.
3. Rhino has his own way of picking up messages which often causes him to behave irrationally and run into panic unnecessarily.
4. Since he is not in touch with the details of the surroundings, he is usually suspicious of all animals, except his own fellow creatures.
5. The basic trait of the Rhino is fear and not anger, but since he cannot control his fear, he gets angry.
6. Therefore, if the lower level people can take the fear out of the Production manager, they can live peacefully.
