1. DON’T RESERVE YOUR BEST BUSINESS THINKING FOR YOUR
CAREER

2. THREE QUESTIONS TO MEASURE YOUR LIFE
1. HOW CAN I BE SURE THAT I WILL BE HAPPY IN MY CAREER ?
2. HOW CAN I BE SURE THAT MY RELATIONSHIPS WITH MY
SPOUSE AND FAMILY BECOME AN ENDURING SOURCE OF
HAPPINESS?
3. HOW CAN I BE SURE I’LL STAY OUT OF JAIL?

3. HOW TO BE HAPPY IN OUR CAREER?
THE POWERFUL MOTIVATORS ARE
THE OPPURTUNITY TO LEARN
GROW IN RESPONSIBILITIES
CONTRIBUTE TO OTHERS
RECOGNITINON FOR ACHEIVEMENTS

4. MANY MBA STUDENTS HAVE A WRONG
NOTION THAT BUSINESS MEANS BUYING,
SELLING, AND INVESTING IN COMPANIES.
DOING DEALS DOESN’T YIELD THE DEEP
REWARD THAT COME FROM BUILDING UP
PEOPLE
MANAGEMENT CAN HELP LEARN AND GROW,
TAKE RESPOSIBILITY AND BE RECOGNISED
FOR THE ACHEIVEMENT AND CONTRIBUTE
TO SUCCESS OF THE TEAM

5. HOW CAN I BE SURE THAT MY RELATIONSHIPS
WITH MY SPOUSE AND FAMILY BECOME AN
ENDURING SOURCE OF HAPPINESS?
CREATSE A STRATERGY FOR LIFE
MANY HBS PEOLPLE ARE UNHAPPY, DIVORCED, AND
ALIENATED FORM THEIR CHILDREN
PROPER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
THEY DIDN’T KEEP THEIR PURPOSE OF LIFE IN
FRONT WHILE DECIDING HOW TO SPEND THEIR
TIME, TALENT, AND ENERGY.

6. CREATE A CULTURE
WHEN THERE IS A LITTLE AGREEMENT BETWEEN
BOTH THE AXES USE POWER TOOLS- COERCION,
THREATS, AND PUNISHMENTS TO SECURE CO-OPERATION
AND THEREBY CREATING A CULTURE.
PARENTS CAN USE THIS POWER TOOLS TO EXTRACT
CO-OPERATION FROM CHILDREN AND TO CREATE
CULTURE.
THIS HAS TO BE INCULCATED IN THE FORMATIVE
YEARS BEFORE TEEN PERIOD

7. HOW CAN I BE SURE I’LL STAY OUT OF JAIL?
MAIN REASON FOR THIS TRAGEDY IS “JUST THIS
ONCE”
IT IS EASIER TO HOLD TO YOUR PROMISES 100% OF THE TIME RATHER
THAN 98%
COMMITMENT, CONSISTENCY, DETERMINATION AND STRONG ETHICAL
VALUES ARE REQUIRED
REMEMBER THE IMPORTANCE OF HUMILITY – SELF RESPECT

8. CHOOSE THE RIGHT YARD STICK
DON’T WORRY ABOUT THE LEVEL OF INDIVIDUAL
PROMINENCE WE ACHIEVED
WORRY ABOUT THE INDIVIDUALS WE HAVE HELPED
BECOME BETTER PEOPLE
WE MUST THINK ABOUT THE METRIC BY WHICH OUR
LIVES WILL BE JUDGED AND MAKE A RESOLUTION TO
LIVE EVERYDAY SO THAT IN THE END OUR LIVES WILL
BE JUDGED SUCCESS
