Seniors During the Emergency
The past few
months have been traumatic for everyone especially the elderly. Uncertainties
as to whether the situation may improve or deteriorate, frustration that you
cannot get out of the house, flooding of scary news from media about corona,
placement of the elderly in high risk category, absence of organized land based
activities of any sort and several other factors like these have rendered
mentally weaker amongst us somewhat afflicted with mild depression of sorts.
I have
observed that friends from whom I had not heard for long time are calling me up
for no reason but to inquire if everything is alright. Some have taken up LLL
activities of many kinds. Thanks to Covid-19, Zoom has become a household name.
There are far too many online zoom meetings to participate.
I found lots
of seniors taking to WhatsApp; Many have joined several groups and started
sharing old photos, solving puzzles, etc, info on events close to them, jokes,
funny forwards etc. Right now there are many SCA based WA groups that touch
several hundreds of unread chats if you miss them for just for a couple of
days!

In Praise of the 60+
A massive
study in America claims to have found that the most productive age in a man's
life is 60-70, and from 70-80 is the 2nd
most productive age. The 3rd most productive age is 50-60.
The average
age of a Nobel Prize winner is 62. The average age of a CEO in a Fortune 500
company is 63. The average age of the pastors of the 100 biggest churches in
America is 71.
The average
age of Pope is 76.
A study
published in NEJM found that at 60, you reach your peak of potential and
continue up to 80 ! So, if you are between 60-70, or 70-80, you have the best
and second best years of your life with you !

Skills in India
If we
entertain dreams of competing with China, it's not just cheap labour, rather
it's skilled labour with precision tooling that attracts Apple to China. Until we change the attitudes and ethics of
our work culture, pace of work and improve the quality consciousness of the
buyers, we have absolutely zero chance
of catching up with China. (https://www.inc.com/glenn-leibowitz/apple-ceo-tim-cook-this-is-number-1-reason-we-make-iphones-in-china-its-not-what-you-think.html)
Technical
Skill is one side of the story.
Generally it has to be learnt, acquired, practised. There is another 'Skill' which we all have
but we do not use fully. That is HUMAN
SKILLS. We can call them also
TOOLS. They are virtually
innumerable. In course of time, I have realised that we should, each one of us,
EXCEL in whatever we do, both in personal life and professional life. I have identified five of them to achieve
"excellence": have respect for
yourself (self-esteem), be bubbling with energy (enthusiasm, humility), think
positively (positive attitude), try to
speak, listen, read, and write effectively (communication skills). Achieve excellence, Spread excellence,
Feel excellence. One more item on
RWA agenda!!!.
