Now a days, the corporates and the big organizations focus on the importance of welfare activities for the employees. Primarily it is to give the feel to the staff that the company is interested in the human side of the staff too. One such programme is arranging a sports meet for the employees. Witnessing one such sports meet, revealed the being too. The mind, all the time put into a zone of work --planning and execution is for a change expected to participate in the field of sport. Here too, the planning and execution is exhibited by the mind. Then whats the difference? The outcome of the sport is in no way related with the performance at the office. In other words, you perform an action which is not result oriented. That does not mean, the team goes into the field with no aim. Every team walks in with the aim to win but even if they lose, it does not bring in the imbalance in the mind. There is an equanimity in the result. Winning or losing has no grip on the mind.

Wow!Pampered in luxury for the body on oneside of the space and nourishment to the mind to connect to one's own self, all that one has to is just be! Wherever

Firstly, it is more of a mental alertness for the one who drives as to clearly know his way. Secondly, it helps the others to know if you are going to turn right or left etc. Right frame of mind, the indicators are on the right track too. Any swing in the functioning of mind, the same indicators get switched on wrongly -- right indicator and turn left. This results in accidents, chaos and all confusions to the rider and the rest. Sometimes, traffic jam too! The light is permanently fixed and so is the switch with facility to move the way we want. who is it operating? That's what makes the difference. Moods of the human beings are similar to the indicators. Clear mind operating results in the good moods, paves way clearly for self and others too.
