Acceptance

I have been wanting to pen my thoughts for a long time, more around sharing some perspective I have but more around sharing what I have learnt. Acceptance is key for success in life and also in corporate life.

I have seen so many individuals fighting againts accepting what has been laid down and often causing harm to themselves mentally and physically. I am not saying lie down and accept what is being handed out but know when the cause you are fighting for is a lost cause or you are fighting against odds which have been stacked against you. 

why not just embrace what is offered to you if you see that as a fair deal and let live ? Examples of acceptance at the workplace could be :
your manager behaves in a rude manner and does not give you the respect you feel you deserve, just accept the fact that he/she is that way and make peace with yourself and look at the choices and options you have around this. 
you could choose to move out if you plan that but if you do stay, do not grumble and hang on since you are making a conscious choice to stay on.

do not be upset that you have to leave becuase of your boss, just accept it, similarily if you choose to stay on, accept the fact that your boss is rude and live on ...

COVID & The Making Of A Vaccine (460 BC till 1823 ; A journey through Greece, China and England)

There are around 70+ companies working on a vaccine for COVID-19 (Corona Virus) right now. It’s quite interesting to note that we have only ~22 vaccines available around the world .. for example we don’t have vaccines for malaria, Nipa virus etc but do have treatments for them. I was quite curious on the concept of vaccination and decided to research and see what’s up with this. Aided by wikipedia and research on the internet, I think it’s a very interesting history to the evolution of the vaccine.   THE GREEK CONNECTION   In fact the seeds for a vaccine probably started from 460 BC when a noted historian and writer (Thucydides) saw that some people became ill from the plague which was prevalent then and recovered and could tend to other sick without falling sick again.   THE CHINA CONNECTION   Fast forward to the middle ages and Plague, Smallpox were the major diseases which ravaged the world and at one point 1 out of every 3 were d...

# value # inspiration # newyear Just a bit of trivia, December got its name from the Latin word decem (meaning ten) because it was originally the tenth month of the year in the calendar of Romulus c. 750 BC which began in March and we have entered a month named after the Roman god Janus, an appropriate personification of the start of the new year.  This particular Roman god Janus had two faces so that he could look ahead toward the future and back at the past at the same time. As we get rid of an old year and look forward to a new one, I hope we can all try to be a little like Janus. We know through experience what we did wrong and what we did right, and hope to do better this year.  Many of us make ambitious new year resolutions while people like me just take a deep breath and hope for the best.…Here's wishing you and your family a happy new year 2020
