The document retells the classic fable of the Tortoise and the Hare through multiple races that teach valuable lessons. In the first race, the hare loses by being overconfident and sleeping, showing that slow and steady wins. However, in the second race where the hare runs full-speed without stopping, fast and consistent beats slow and steady. Subsequent races demonstrate identifying one's strengths and changing strategies to use them, as well as the power of teamwork by combining strengths. The moral is that both individual excellence and collaboration are needed to perform at one's best.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

Team work learning funny
1. Good old lessons in teamwork
from an age-old fable
The Tortoise
And
The Hare
2. Once upon a time a tortoise and a
hare had an argument about who
was faster.
I’m the fastest
runner.
That’s not true.
The fastest runner is
me!
3. Ok, let’s have
a race.
Fine!
They decided to settle
the argument with a race.
They agreed on a route
and started off the race.
4. The hare shot ahead and ran briskly for
some time. Then seeing that he was far
ahead of the tortoise, he thought he'd sit
under a tree for some time and relax
before continuing the race.
Poor guy! Even if I
take a nap, he
could not catch up
with me.
10. The hare was disappointed
at losing the race and he
did some soul-searching.
He realized that he'd lost
the race only because he
had been overconfident,
careless and lax. If he had
not taken things for
granted, there's no way the
tortoise could have beaten
him.
Why did
I lose
the
race?
11. Can we have
another race?
Ok.
So he challenged the
tortoise to another race.
The tortoise agreed.
12. This time, the hare went all
out and ran without stopping
from start to finish. He won by
several miles.
13. The moral of the story?
Fast and consistent will always beat the slow and
steady. If you have two people in your organization,
one slow, methodical and reliable, and the other fast
and still reliable at what he does, the fast and reliable
chap will consistently climb the organizational ladder
faster than the slow, methodical chap.
It's good to be slow and steady; but it's better to be
fast and reliable.
15. The tortoise did some thinking
this time, and realized that there's
no way he can beat the hare in a
race the way it was currently
formatted. How can
I can
win the
hare?
16. He thought for a while,
and then challenged
the hare to another
race, but on a slightly
different route.
The hare agreed.
Sure!
Can we have another
race? This time we’ll go
through a different route.
17. They started off. In keeping with
his self-made commitment to be
consistently fast, the hare took off
and ran at top speed until he came
to a broad river. The finishing
line was a couple of kilometers
on the other side of the river.
Goal
18. The hare sat there wondering what
to do. In the meantime the tortoise
trundled along, got into the river,
swam to the opposite bank,
continued walking and finished the
race.
What
should I
do?
19. The moral of the story?
First identify your core competency and then change the
playing field to suit your core competency.
In an organization, if you are a good speaker, make sure you
create opportunities to give presentations that enable the senior
management to notice you.
If your strength is analysis, make sure you do some sort of
research, make a report and send it upstairs.
Working to your strengths will not only get you noticed, but will
also create opportunities for growth and advancement.
21. The hare and the tortoise, by
this time, had become pretty
good friends and they did some
thinking together. Both realized
that the last race could have
been run much better.
22. So they decided to do the
last race again, but to run
as a team this time.
Hi, buddy. How
about doing our last
race again?
Great! I think we
could do it much
better, if we two
help each other.
Hi, buddy. How
about doing our last
race again?
23. They started off, and this time the
hare carried the tortoise till the
riverbank.
25. On the opposite bank, the hare
again carried the tortoise and they
reached the finishing line
together. They both felt a greater
sense of satisfaction than they'd
felt earlier.
26. The moral of the story?
It's good to be individually brilliant and to have
strong core competencies; but unless you're able to
work in a team and harness each other's core
competencies, you'll always perform below par
because there will always be situations at which
you'll do poorly and someone else does well.
Teamwork is mainly about situational leadership,
letting the person with the relevant core competency
for a situation take leadership.
27. There are more lessons to be learnt from this story.
Note that neither the hare nor the tortoise gave up after failures.
The hare decided to work harder and put in more effort after his
failure. The tortoise changed his strategy because he was
already working as hard as he could.
In life, when faced with failure, sometimes it is appropriate to
work harder and put in more effort. Sometimes it is appropriate
to change strategy and try something different. And sometimes it
is appropriate to do both.
The hare and the tortoise also learnt another vital lesson. When
we stop competing against a rival and instead start competing
against the situation, we perform far better.
28. When Roberto Goizueta took over as CEO of Coca-Cola in
the 1980s, he was faced with intense competition from Pepsi
that was eating into Coke's growth. His executives were
Pepsi-focused and intent on increasing market share 0.1 per
cent a time.
Roberto decided to stop competing against Pepsi and instead
compete against the situation of 0.1 per cent growth.
29. He asked his executives what was the average fluid intake of
an American per day? The answer was 14 ounces. What was
Coke's share of that? Two ounces. Roberto said Coke needed
a larger share of that market. The competition wasn't Pepsi. It
was the water, tea, coffee, milk and fruit juices that went into
the remaining 12 ounces. The public should reach for a Coke
whenever they felt like drinking something.
To this end, Coke put up vending machines at every street
corner. Sales took a quantum jump and Pepsi has never quite
caught up since.
30. To sum up, the story of the hare and tortoise
teaches us many things:
Never give up when faced with failure
Fast and consistent will always beat slow and
steady
Work to your competencies
Compete against the situation, not against a
rival.
Pooling resources and working as a team
will always beat individual performers
