NO EXCUSES - Best Motivational Speech 2018Usmar Ali
NO EXCUSES - Best Motivational Speech. What's stopping you? Are you tired? Did enough sleep? Don't have enough energy? Don't have enough time? Is that what's stopping you right now? Don't have enough money? That the thing? Or is the thing that's stopping you you? Excuses sound best to the person that's making above. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. Get off the pity party. Telling everybody you're sad and sob story, is trying to get people to show up to your pity parties and your pity parades.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

When I was a child, I read somewhere, "Smile costs you nothing
but buys everything.” I tried using it whenever I went to the
market. It was indeed a great deal of hard work looking into the
eyes of the sad, sullen or frowning faces and trying to give my self
priced million rupees smile. Months passed by but my smile did
not buy me even a single toffee. “Old sayings are never meant for
serious action”, perhaps, became my first learning. Since then, I
hate to smile.
I think I am not alone. The world around is full of us. Just walk into
any departmental store, a bank or even an amusement park, smile
will always be conspicuous by its absence. We are serious people
after all. We mean serious business. The service providers I have
interacted with have almost common reasons for not smiling.
They say:
We get paid for work. Hard work. Not smile.
We do not want customers to become over familiar with us. They
will take advantage of us if we smile. We don’t want to offer them
extra facilities or discounts.
Customers are always scared of complaining when we give them a
serious no-nonsense look. This helps in keeping the complaint
register lighter. It adds to our achievements.
If an occasional customer goes away because we did not give him
the right attention and smile, it sends the right message to our
employers. Payment of peanuts cannot buy cashewnuts shaped
smiles.
Our customers are now quite used to us. If we try to give them a
smile now, it will alert them. They may think that we have learnt
another way to ‘con’ them.
Sounds logical. I think not smiling takes a lot of hard work.
Whoever said, ”When you smile you use 14 muscles and when
you frown you use 79 muscles.”, is absolutely right. I wonder why
such a strenuous effort of people like us gets un-noticed and un-
appreciated.

Lets step into the corporate corridors and peep
into the daily happenings. We all give what we get.
The frown from top to bottom passes with
supersonic and snow balling intensity. You cannot
survive in a competitive corporate environment
without a tough faced competitive aggression.
Even the business schools of repute understand
the futility of smile. They do not teach it.
Ask any boss and his reasons for not smiling will be
almost the same:
The Boss is always right. Rough exteriors get tough
results. Any questions?
A ‘critical’ facial disposition helps in maintaining an
alert workforce exposition. [Sounds High!]
An occasional experimentation with smile because
of the recommendations by an expensive corporate
trainer has always resulted in higher leaves, more
monetary incentives, work allocation negotiations
etc.
The abandonment of smile brings the status quo
back resulting in greater overall work harmony.
Experience therefore is a great teacher.
Frowning helps better in HRD [Human Racehorse
Development!].
Imagine the plight of people when they receive a
smile. What will be going on in the mind of the
patient in the operation theater when the doctor
smiles at him? How would the accused be thinking
when he is in the interrogation chamber and the
inspector smiles at him? Or imagine your plight
when you get an occasional smile from the steward
in an expensive restaurant when he places the
‘check’ in the folder before you. The smile could be
deadlier than the bullet if you are facing the firing
squad.
Smile is a great deception. Deceptions are bad. Un-
ethical. Be what you are. Few hundred frowns a
day can keep the troublemakers away. Adopt this
management mantra today.

Reasons
Why
Humor Is
A Key To
Success
At Work
Jacquelyn
Smith
Forbes
People will enjoy working with you. “People
want to work with people they like,”
Vanderkam says. “Why wouldn’t you? You
spend huge chunks of your waking hours at
work, so you don’t want it to be a death
march. Humor–deftly employed–is a great
way to win friends and influence people. You
need to be funny, but not snarky (that’s not
good for team building) and you can’t offend
anyone.”
Humor is a potent stress buster. “In fact, it’s
a triple whammy,” Kerr explains. “Humor
offers a cognitive shift in how you view your
stressors; an emotional response; and a
physical response that relaxes you when you
laugh.”
It is humanizing. “Humor allows both
employees and managers to come together,
realizing that we all seek common ground,”
Taylor says.
It puts others at ease. Humor is a way to
break through the tension barrier, she says.
“Research shows that humor is a fabulous
tension breaker in the workplace,” Kerr adds.
“People who laugh in response to a conflict
tend to shift from convergent thinking where
they can see only one solution, to divergent
thinking where multiple ideas are
considered.”
Ha + ha = aha! “Humor is a key ingredient in
creative thinking,” Kerr says. “It helps people
play with ideas, lower their internal critic,
and see things in new ways.” Humor and
creativity are both about looking at your
challenges in novel ways and about making
new connections you’ve never thought about
before, he adds.
Taylor agrees. She says humor “establishes a
fertile environment for innovation because
people are more inspired when they are
relaxed.”

It helps build trust. “You can build trust with the effective use
of humor because humor often reveals the authentic person
lurking under the professional mask,” Kerr says.
He explains that numerous studies suggest that people who
share a healthy, positive sense of humor tend be more likable
and are viewed as being more trustworthy. “Humor is also
viewed as sign of intelligence,” he adds. “All of these
characteristics, as well as the fact that humor is a fabulous
icebreaker and can tear down walls, can help people build
relationships in the workplace, and especially these days,
relationships are critical to success.”
It boosts morale. Humor boosts morale and retention while
reducing turnover because employees look forward to coming
to work, Taylor says. “Employees like to work for and with
others who have a sense of humor. We all prefer to have fun at
work. It should not feel like an indentured servitude
environment.”
People who use humor tend to be more approachable. The
more approachable you are, especially as a leader, the more
honest and open people around you will be, Kerr says. “And the
more honest and open people tend to be, the more successful
and innovative teams tend to be.”
Humor can allow your company to stand out. “It can help
companies stand out and go beyond with their customer
service, garnering them a huge loyal following,” he says. If you
want to stand out from the pack, using humor with your service
is an effective way to do that.
It can increase productivity. “Humor creates an upbeat
atmosphere that encourages interaction, brainstorming of new
ideas, and a feeling that there are few risks in thinking outside
the box. All that leads to greater productivity,” Taylor explains.
“It also stands to reason that if you’re in a more jovial
atmosphere, you’ll have more passion for what you do. Your
work ethic will increase, and your enthusiasm will likely be
contagious. It’s a win-win for you and your employer.”
