Bewitch the Skint

When you bestow food for the hungry you make a lasting difference in their lives. The smugness that you get can never be expressed in words.  If you are ever wondering the need for this article at this hour, I’ll give you a clue. It’s a celebration. Yes! It’s World Food Day. For a bit of facts World Food Day is celebrated on 16 October to extol the founding date of Food and Agriculture Organization of the United States in 1945. To me if you ask it’s just an other day. The past or the future never matters if you have never made a lasting today. I’m writing this because there are some pains that needs to be taken care of. Celebration is not just a word; it’s a world of togetherness. When one part of the country celebrates and other starves it makes no sense in merrymaking. 

The poignant fact is “The World is hungry”. With each passing day, the World demands for a better tomorrow. The back-breaking innovations impose the need for sustainability. The grim actuality is millions of our fellow beings are dying in hunger while millions of tons of food are being thrown away. It’s a global shame to know that the food we waste can feed 3 billion people. Statistics say over 30% of the food is being thrown to garbage. Why not feed while you know there is an excess is how I want to frame my thoughts. 

I’m glad there are Many social welfare organizations that feel that the pain shared is burden halved. Have you ever thought of the fact that Food is going to be the next costliest possession? If not let me give you a glimpse of the harsh reality. The most important fact would be the population growth which is expected to expand to about 9 billion by 2050. Next is the changing climate. The increasing change in climate would drastically affect the agricultural produce. Because of this reason though we know its unsafe using pesticides and adopting to genetically modified foods we accept because we know it would never be possible to feed even one with the punishing climatic changes. The most important final fact is that there is an alarming rise in the prices of food. 

The irony is that even with the sufficient quantity of food available we have billions famished to death. So, who should we point the finger at? Who is to blame? The industry? The politicians? The farmers? The retailers? None but ourselves! With each passing day there comes the hope for tomorrow. Let’s show them that there is sunshine waiting to be seen. Be the change you want to see in the most part of the world. Being part of TSM let us give hopes that there is some light on the other side of tunnel. Let’s be the reason someone smiles today.  It’s high time we realize that there lies a responsibility that has to be fulfilled to bewitch the skint! 

HALLMARK OF TOP CEO’s

Being the budding managers if you have the aspirations to become an entrepreneur someday, then there are certain common traits that every top CEO’s possess which you must know. This article is a must read to the aspiring minds. Becoming a CEO is an easy task. It’s a matter of seconds you create a job description, work on it, and add to your own profile in social media that you are the CEO of your new company. Presto! Kudos for becoming the new CEO of your dreams. It’s as simple as that. But what really matters is not the position you hold, but how much you have excelled fighting against the galloping freshet. Top CEO’s are good at hiring and firing. They sell people into their own dreams and work towards their grail. They get others to work no matter what. I have also seen CEO’s who are bad at firing people. They hardly realize that the mistake they make in not firing can doom their entire business someday. Being streetwise is more important than being book smart for a successful CEO. They get out, dive into the field and try understanding the psychology of customers to provide them with the world class services. Successful business men build values and cultures in their own organization. They believe it makes them work towards the mission. Being a good listener also matters. They have multiple ways to prove that they are the masters of their own field. They are so optimistic and find zeal in getting feedback from the fellow mates. They fight against all odds, even when they know the business is not running positively, they keep up their resilience and never quit. They are skilled at convincing people about the product or services that they provide. They even become customers advocate deeply understanding what customers want, how they want it and when is the high time to make a move in the giant market space. They naturally have the ability to espouse and forbear uncertainty. They are good at managing crisis. They make associations wherever they go which makes them the most valued among the peer industries. Being an entrepreneur it might demand your action at the right time, push you into decision making – which as two sides of coin could be either a successful decision or an unsuccessful one. The elite CEO’s vie for a top notch place wanting to be ranked the best and be the jack of all trades that they make. I have seen CEO’s who have work life balance personally and also strive hard in providing the same to their employees as well. They know that the smallest kind of selfless act that they make can bring a big difference to someone’s life. They reach out and touch the lives of people. That is what makes them unique and humane. Running a startup can be as hard as the curls of an idiyappam. It is too difficult to separate! All you can do is not bother about the curls and take a bite. Just similar will be the situations you face in life, at times it might be difficult to decipher the problems you face but all you need is rise every time you fall if you want to be the spearhead in your own journey called life. Just remember a mantra that “Life is what you make it”. Best wishes for your aspirations to take a leap in the years to come!
