This months Big Question is about Stuck?Getting Unstuck? Stuck, is exactly how I feel, and the reason I started blogging and connecting with people. My blog becomes a forum to get my ideas out. So there's the problem and the solution right there! But come on now, don't we all feel stuck at different points in our work or even personal life? Well, being stuck is very much a reality as anything else, and I've felt this way many times before. Each place I worked posed different kinds of challenges, but to get to the point, here we're talking about being stuck in your organization with a lot of great ideas about how to improve things around you and the service you deliver to the customer. There are several reasons why one gets 'stuck' so to say: Your organization is just very happy doing what they always have been doing as it earns them money anyway. Your team members, who drive a lot of the initiatives because they've been around longer than you, just don'...
Sudden flash-O-thought after seeing this video -
ReplyDelete1) Information is like a bird, you can either leave it fly high of its own or put it in the cage and own it. If its free to go, many can feed it, admire its beauty and grow it. It can grow and fly high beautifully. If you cage it, you only should take pains to feed it, its totally dependent on you, it dies when you don't feed it any more and finally its restricted. Now you say which one is better?
2) Web-generation are like brood parasites. There is this nest owned by "Web". We lay eggs called "Ideas". We put those eggs in the nest owned by web. Many do the same. Web thinks it owns those eggs and nourishes it. The nest grows in size. Finally one day all the eggs hatch (ideas mature) and finally all the hatchlings fly high .. I would definitely love to see my ideas fly high beautifully along with the bunch of other mixed ideas.
Oh! I think more into bird watching these days!! Bear me :)
If ideas were never shared then we not only would not have the web but also most of the things we take for granted today. The automobile, the washing machine, television, phones of any kind etc. Because we are social animals we were able to band together initially to protect ourselves and then to share our ideas. These ideas no longer just help us survive but to gain some sort of fulfilment in our lives. Most of the things we do today are shared occupations that require shared knowledge. A better way of sharing simply means a better way of achieving these ends. Lyn
ReplyDeleteSreya,
ReplyDeleteIt's almost surreal to see this and begin to think about the age that we are living in. It's like looking at the present through historical glasses, seeing what will be said about this generation in 50 years. Yes, the sharing of ideas is what drives most modern innovations, even on a casual scale. Of course, there is the possibility of overload and de-sensitization. However, changing attitudes and access to technologies we couldn't have dreamed of before, the world is definitely an open book. It's amazing to think that you are on the other side of the world from me and here we are sharing ideas as easily as if we were in the same room.
@LSP- very well written. People need to accept that fact.
ReplyDelete@Lyn Rob - I agree, just that there is the competition part in a corporate setup. Also you cannot share anything, there are policies governing them and you have to accept it if you want to remain in that setup.
