Be a LEADER and not a fOLLOWER
Most people in life are simply content in following others blindly and taking the easier route. Some people prefer to make things happen for them by having a positive approach and by working hard to reach their goals. People with such attitude are leaders.

The story of appraisals....
There was once a washer man who had a donkey and a dog. One night when the whole world was sleeping, a thief broke into the house, the washer man was fast asleep too but the donkey and the dog were awake. The dog decided not to bark since the master did not take good care of him and wanted to teach him a lesson.
The donkey got worried and said to the dog that if he doesn't bark, the donkey will have to do something himself. The dog did not change his mind and the donkey started braying loudly.
Hearing the donkey bray, the thief ran away, the master woke up and started beating the donkey for braying in the middle of the night for no reason.
Moral of the story “One must not engage in duties other than his own"
Now take a new look at the same story...
The washer man was a well educated man from a premier management institute. He had the fundas of looking at the bigger picture and thinking out of the box. He was convinced that there must be some reason for the donkey to bray in the night.. He walked outside a little and did some fact finding, applied a bottom up approach, figured out from the ground realities that there was a thief who broke in and the donkey only wanted to alert him about it. Looking at the donkey's extra initiative and going beyond the call of the duty, he rewarded him with lot of hay and other perks and became his favorite pet.
The dog's life didn't change much, except that now the donkey was more motivated in doing the dog's duties as well. In the annual appraisal the dog managed "ME" (Met Expectations) .
Soon the dog realized that the donkey is taking care of his duties and he can enjoy his life sleeping and lazing around.
The donkey was rated as “star performer". The donkey had to live up to his already high performance standards.
Soon he was over burdened with work and always under pressure and now is looking for a NEW JOB ... !!!!

Six Thinking Hats - Edward de Bono
About the Book
There are six coloured hats corresponding to the six directions of thinking:
white, red, black, yellow, green, blue
Why did author chose hats as the symbols for the directions of thinking?
There is already a strong association between thinking and 'thinking hats' or 'thinking caps'. The value of a hat as a symbol is that it indicates a role. People are said to be wearing a certain hat. Another advantage is that a hat can be put on or taken off with ease. A hat is also visible to everyone around.
The results of using the Six Hats method are -
(1) Power -
with the Six Hats method, the intelligence, experience and knowledge of all the members of the group are fully used. Everyone is looking and working in the same direction.
(2) Time Saving -
with parallel thinking, every thinker at every moment is looking in the same direction. The thoughts are laid out in parallel. You do not respond to what the last person has said. You simply add another idea in parallel. In the end, the subject is fully explored quickly. Later on, if it is essential to decide between the two, a decision is made. So there is not argument at every step.
(3) Removal of Ego -
with the Six Hats method you exert your ego by performing well as a thinker under each of the hats.
(4) One Thing at a Time -
with the Six Hats method, we try to do only one thing at a time. There is a time when we look for danger (black hat). There is a time when we seek new ideas (green hat). There is a time when we focus on information (white hat). We do not try to do everything at the same time.
The colour of each hat is also related to its function -
White Hat
White is neutral and objective. The white hat is concerned with objective facts and figures.
Red Hat
Red suggests anger (seeing red), rage and emotions. The red hat gives the emotional view.
Black Hat
Black is sombre and serious. The black hat is cautious and careful. It points out the weaknesses in an idea.
Yellow Hat
Yellow is sunny and positive. The yellow hat is optimistic and covers hope and positive thinking.
Green Hat
Green is grass, vegetation and abundant, fertile growth. The green hat indicates creativity and new ideas.
Blue Hat
Blue is cool, and it is also the colour of the sky, which is above everything else. The blue hat is concerned with control, the organization of the thinking process and the use of the other hats.
The three pairs of hats:
White and red
Black and yellow
Green and blue
Two main purposes to the Six Thinking Hats concept -
(1) To simplify thinking by allowing a thinker to deal with one thing at a time.
(2) To allow a switch in thinking
About the Author
Edward de Bono is widely regarded as the leading authority in the direct teaching of thinking as a skill. He originated the concept of lateral thinking and developed formal techniques for deliberate creative thinking. He has written sixty-two books, which have been translated into thirty-seven languages, has made two television series and there are over 4,000,000 references to his work on the Internet.
His instruction in thinking has been sought by some of the leading business corporations in the world such as IBM, DuPont, Shell, Ericsson, McKinsey, Ciba-Geigy, Ford and many others. He has had a planet named after him by the International Astronomic Union and was named by a group of university professors in South Africa as one of the 250 people in all of history who have contributed most to humanity.
Dr de Bono's key contribution has been his understanding of the brain as a self-organizing system. From this solid base he set out to design practical tools for thinking. His work is in use equally in the boardrooms of some of the world's largest corporations and with four-year-olds in school. His design of the Six Hats method provides, for the first time, Western thinking with a constructive idiom instead of adversarial argument.
The Fountainhead - Ayn Rand
About the Book
This instant classic is the story of an intransigent young architect, his violent battle against conventional standards, and his explosive love affair with a beautiful woman who struggles to defeat him.
Here is a novel about a hero - and about those who try to destroy him.
Moral
Do not lead a second-hander life.
"The code of the creator is built on the needs of the reasoning mind which allows man to survive.
The code of the second-hander is built on the needs of a mind incapable of survival."
"The first right on earth is the right of the ego. Man's first duty is to himself. His moral law is never to place his prime goal within the persons of others. His moral obligation is to do what he wishes, provided his wish does not depend primarily upon other men. This includes the whole sphere of his creative faculty, his thinking, his work. But it does not include the sphere of the gangster, the altruist and the dictator."
"A man thinks and works alone. A man cannot rob, exploit or rule - alone. Robbery, exploitation and ruling presuppose victims. They imply dependence. They are the province of the second-hander."
About the Author
Ayn Rand's unique philosophy, Objectivism, has gained a worldwide audience.
The Essentials of Objectivism
My philosophy, in essence, is the concept of man as a heroic being, with his own happiness as the moral purpose of his life, with productive achievement as his noblest activity, and reason as his only absolute.
- Ayn Rand
Objectivism is an integrated system of thought that defines the abstract principles by which a man must think and act if he is to live the life proper to man.
Ayn Rand first portrayed her philosophy in the form of the heroes of her bestselling novels, The Fountainhead (1943) and Atlas Shrugged (1957). She later expressed her philosophy in nonfiction form.
