Opportunism: Countering the Art



Everybody commits mistakes in life. The best way to stay out of it is not improvising or being opportunistic, but avoid erring again- altogether. If one does it there is no danger of getting caught the second time. It even does not entail you to come up with excuses.

Imagine a scenario wherein your employer catches you red-handed reaching late to office. To deal with this, one can do two things: one, never reach late again, come whatever may; second, improvise on your timings and wait for the right moment to be absent for work or delay again.

While your boss may be arriving late to work the next time, it doesn’t mean you won’t get caught. You will end up improvising your whole life and get caught every now and then.

It’s for you to decide: never get caught or be mired with opportunism. Which of the options is wise for you? Do not dither, but make a wise move once and for all.

How to be Motivated in Daily Life?

There is cut-throat competition everywhere around in the society. This demands people to be good at doing something and also impassioned in their job to avoid unnecessary stress.

But work is work though the stress can be cushioned in some places.

Favour Mirabilis

People do remember favours. But, it depends on whom you lavish a favour on. A materialistic person may ascribe your generosity to things such as money, attire, job or status as important. This casts a shadow on the love you had showered on him regardless of the type of a favour. I can recall an incident in my life wherein the  person was in need of love. He built some sort of escapist tendencies and sought it in a companion who had a sinister design for him. While the person in whom all the lacking in companionship was sought after appeared a misfit, he was woken from his sleep. Through this incident, one can recall that the right favour needed from anyone in this lacking person's life was love. No money would have satisfied his need for it. Just a timely amount of  love retrofitted could have meant a lot for him. The one who had fulfilled this wish in this person's life could have made a way into his heart and the favour remembered the whole of his life. Such nitty-gri...

How to Know When People Think They Are Smart?

It is not really a hard task to understand people and know what they think or are. It can be clearly seen in their body language they present before us. Imagine if we knew when people think they are smart and save for ourselves some insult they do when we speak or praise them even more. This can be done. The body language to look for is that the person who thinks he is smart reveals a reaction such as chewing something in his mouth. This could be like chewing gum but not exactly it; there is nothing in his mouth, but just the reaction. I have come across this in an hospital --while visiting for a relative-- wherein the doctor showed this reaction. This she did after turning down a receptionist's request to do her work for a while. She obliged to do it at first. But, after this, the receptionist vanished into thin air and did not appear for a few hours. The doctor created a ruckus and got someone to man the receptionist's position. She really was smart with this. Anyone ...
