The Illusion

The Illusion

Once there was a king who had presented his daughter, the princess, with a beautiful diamond necklace. The necklace was stolen and his people in the kingdom searched everywhere but could not find it. Some said a bird might have stolen it. The king then asked them all to search for it and put a reward for $50,000 for anyone who found it.

One day a clerk was walking home along a river next to an industrial area. This river was completely polluted, filthy and smelly. As he was walking, the clerk saw a shimmering in the river and when he looked, he saw the diamond necklace. He decided to try and catch it so that he could get the $50,000 reward. He put his hand in the filthy, dirty river and grabbed at the necklace, but somehow missed it and didn't catch it. He took his hand out and looked again and the necklace was still there. He tried again, this time he walked in the river and dirtied his pants in the filthy river and put his whole arm in to catch the necklace. But strangely, he still missed the necklace! He came out and started walking away, feeling depressed.

Then again he saw the necklace, right there. This time he was determined to get it, no matter what. He decided to plunge into the river, although it was a disgusting thing to do as the river was polluted, and his whole body would become filthy.

He plunged in, and searched everywhere for the necklace and yet he failed. This time he was really bewildered and came out feeling very depressed that he could not get the necklace that would get him $50,000.

Just then a saint who was walking by, saw him, and asked him what the matter was. The clerk didn't want to share the secret with the saint, thinking the saint might take the necklace for himself, so he refused to tell the saint anything. But the saint could see this man was troubled and being compassionate, again asked the clerk to tell him the problem and promised that he would not tell anyone about it. The clerk mustered some courage and decided to put some faith in the saint. He told the saint about the necklace and how he tried and tried to catch it, but kept failing. The saint then told him that perhaps he should try looking upward, toward the branches of the tree, instead of in the filthy river. The clerk looked up and true enough, the necklace was dangling on the branch of a tree. He had been trying to capture a mere reflection of the real necklace all this time.

Moral: Material happiness is a mere reflection of the true happiness in the spiritual world

Ways to Impress Your Boss as an Employee

Ways to Impress Your Boss as an Employee

Here are some tips for leaving a positive, lasting impression with your employer.

1. Come with questions. Before your day, make a list of possible questions that not only touch on your responsibilities, but also what the boss expects of the team as a whole and his or her vision for the organization. Gaining such information allows you to be on the same page with your supervisor and work toward a shared goal. You want to be able to align with your boss's goals and vision for the future.

2. Arrive on time. Showing up late the first day or for an entire week will cast doubt on your claim and cause your boss to question your dependability. So make sure to get to the office on time. He also suggests clocking in early to signal your enthusiasm about the company and your new role. Either choice you make helps your boss feel more confident that they made the right decision.

3. Take notes. As a student, you always broke out a notepad and pen when learning new material. Apply that same habit to your job when your boss or a co-worker dispenses valuable details about your position or a particular policy. This studious approach can shorten the learning curve and keep you from having to ask about something only hours or days later, which can make you look inattentive.  It’s best to avoid asking for a repeat of directions. That [boss or] employee sees you as not knowing how to do something that you should know how to do.

4. Take initiative on assignments outside your scope. If offered the opportunity to work on a project outside your job description, take it. Surprised by your penchant for quick learning and versatility as a worker, your boss may start pondering your potential in a management role. Plus, if you have your sights set on a senior position, you'll need to know how the entire organization functions, not just your department. "If you want to get into leadership, you need to know how all the pieces go together, all the products you sell, all the services you offer.

5. Ask for a regular meeting with your boss. Depending on the pace of the work and your boss's schedule, you should request to meet with him or her on a regular basis. The meeting can be for 10 minutes at the end of each day or a single 20-minute session during the week.

6. Stay on solid footing with your boss. It almost goes without saying that having a cordial and productive relationship with your boss makes life around the office much more peaceful. To stay in your boss's good graces, view him or her as a customer whose trust you're hoping to earn through quality service.

7. Get to know your co-workers. Chats in the break room or a casual lunch are great options for breaking the ice between you and your new colleagues. Being aware of what their jobs entail shows that you care. "You really have to understand how they do their jobs so that you know how to work together as a team,” those interested in a management position later on, it's an asset to have someone internally who can vouch for your abilities and character. He or she won't be able to do that if they're clueless about whom you are.

8. Come clean on your mistakes. With a flood of new information and procedures to process, you're bound to make a mistake here and there. Whether you're a newly hired executive or entry-level employee, you should tackle errors at the same pace: immediately. "No matter what, you need to address the issue head on ... I always think honesty is the best policy,” "Figure out how to correct it and ensure it never happens again."
