Management Professionals all over the world need to remember that today, November the 14th is celebrated in India as Children’s Day. If only it reminds them that a good successful manager is one who KEEPS SMILING! The ‘Child’ in each one of us is one whose smile radiates a calm composure to face the challenges thrown at him or her with a RING OF CONFIDENCE. The ‘Child’ in each one of us enjoys the moment and is passionate about whatever we enjoy doing. The ‘Child’ in each one of us keeps a light mind free of worries and stress accepting the situation with hope and excitement.

In fact, as we get more senior up the ladder of progressive success, one needs to remind oneself that SMILING mindfully lightens and releases the heart from agonising self doubt and anxiety. The ‘A-B-C’ of success, therefore is ‘Always Be Confident’!

November 14th is not just a reminder of celebrating the birthday of free India’s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru. It isn’t just a day for schools to celebrate children as the future of the world.

IT IS A REMINDER FOR ALL MANAGEMENT PROFESSIONALS TO STAY YOUNG AND ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT FACING ADVERSITY WITH A CHILD-LIKE SMILE. BEFORE WE GET ADJUSTED TO THE WORLD OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE – ‘A I’ – WE NEED TO FIRST HANDLE OUR ‘NATURAL STUPIDITY’! AS LONG AS WE KEEP THE CHILD IN US ALIVE, WE NEEDN’T WORRY!

JUST BE A CURIOUS LEARNER – STAY HUNGRY TO LEARN AND FOOLISH TO LAUGH AT ONESELF! THAT IS THE ‘CHILD’ TO BE……
