Welcome to this edition of Wavelength.
Mid June is usually spent awaiting the arrival of Monsoons.
This year, however, it was spent wondering whether the rain that
we experienced each day was a Monsoon rain or not. The weather has
been deceptively pleasant. Somewhere at the back of our minds, we’ve
been asking the question – What’s behind the weather’s
funny behavior? Insipid TV programs that relentlessly belabor us
with the bleak projections of Pralay, Quayamat, or the Judgment
Day are choking us! The most recent projection that I’ve come
across is that the world shall end in 2012!
Now that gives us food for thought…right?
Whether the world would end in the next five years or not isn’t
something that I can tender my expert opinion on – It isn’t
my area of specialization. However, if I decide not to analyze this
projection and take it on its face value; it helps!
Let me tell you how. If you knew that you had only five years
to live, how would you live? I sat down to make my list. When I
had reviewed my list and prioritized it, I was shocked! I realized
that if I had just five years to live, I wouldn’t be doing
most of the things that I am doing today. But then good sense prevailed
over me, and I thought that the probability of any such projections
coming true is very small and so…I should continue doing what
I was!
But something changed after this exercise. I began to consciously
reduce the activities that weren’t resulting in happiness
and satisfaction. I’ve been a happier person in the last fortnight.
This fortnight, we have a special article for those trainers
who wish transform themselves into Training Experts by learning
and applying instructional design. Read the Wavelength article,
“The Trainer
& The Instructional Designer – Two Sides of the Same Coin!”
to understand the personalities of the trainer and the instructional
designer, and figure out whether or not, you are ready for extending
your personality!
