Life Insurance - Understanding in general

 Normally ,  few months before filing I. T. Return some one close approaches us and suggest some investment to save the tax liability . We ask 100 questions and decides to take a policy which gives max tax benefits and return on investment except life & future responsibilites ?

My concept of Life Insurance entirely changed after i retired and come across an Insurance Company and attended their seminar and classes on Insurance and its benefits. I realised  mistakes which i had done by not taking proper insurance coverage during my  early ages........

This is because of lack of knowledge and ignorance about insurance

Life Insurance Agent/ Advisor is a person who comes to you with following specialised knowledge :

1.       Assist you to plan,  Family Finance Security

2.       Assist you to plan, Children education/Marriage fund

3.       Assist you to plan,  retirement

In today’s  situation more and more Insurance options available with a good coverage of Life with additional benefits as mentioned above. One need to pay proper attention and plan for their investment systematically.

Listen to agent/advisor and understand following aspects carefully and take proper decision

a.       Need  - Understand the financial need of family

b.      Provisions   –  Just understand clearly provisions already taken care

c.       Understand the gap in all  three areas of  concerned

The above analysis varies person to person depending upon his /her age, financial conditions etc....

Based on above assessment, one may decide and select proper Insurance Plan

Human Values.............

Men or Women are known by their values ? I had an opportunity to attend a programme on Human Values during my service tenure in one of the  Country’s  reputed Management  Institute. The curriculum of the 3days programme was designed keeping in view the Sr. Executives of the Corporate Houses as target group. Contents were based on learning from our past Social reformers and Leaders well known for their values and contribution to reform the human society across  the  world . Names listed below are :

1.       Swami Vivekanand          -  All power is within you; you can do anything and everything

2.       Sri Aurobindo Ghosh      -  The real difficulty is always in ourselves, not in our surroundings

3.       Ravindra nath Tagore     -  Love does not claim possession but gives freedom

4.       Mahatma Gandhi             -  The future depends on what we do in the present

The objective of the programme was to provide human value knowledge and develop human skills at the Sr.level Management, so that they can demonstrate those skills at work place and create an  environment of cultural harmony within the organisation.

A dome shaped conference hall surrounded with greeneries specially created to provide an environment of peace and harmony to make learning more effective and practical. Sattvic food was served in canteen to maintain a balance state of mind. Participants were advised to wear white loose clothing which provides  more body comfort and flexibility in movements during the programme.

“ Values are important in a human being for making him holistic in his approach ”

Values are state of emotions or feelings which undertake a decision or a choice of a goal and determine, the method used to achieve or execute that decision, choice or goal.

The value tree above clearly speaks the values needed and cultivated among the people within an Organisation for greater success and sustainability.

Programme was based on following 5 ancient principles to develop Human Values among the Participants.

1.       Gunas – Sattwa –  Illumination  , Rajas – Dynamism  and Tamas – Inertia/Darkness

2.       Karma theory – Work can purify our mind, heart and emotions

“ Work is warship ”

3.       Cause and effect principles –

a.       A cause at present produces effect in future

b.      An effect at present must have a cause in the past

c.       Effect return to the source of the cause

d.      Like cause like effect

e.      Each cause produces its own effect – There is no cancellation

4.       Rina theory -

5.       Higher self and Lower self  

“Practice makes man perfect ”  

One need to cultivate and practice good "human values" in one’s life for better result

A Business concept of 21st Century..Networking

The concept of Network Marketing has become very popular in India since last 10 – 15Yrs. Many MLM ( Multi Level Marketing ) companies have launched their concept and products with a big  claim to earn an extra money and become financially free. I personally studied the basics of few leading companies and come across a very simple and attractive concept of creating network and product movement . In process of creating network of people one learns people and managerial skills like:

a.      Self development

b.      Inter personal skills

c.       Team Building skills

d.      Leadership skills

e.      Communication skills

f.        Time Management skills

g.      Goal settings etc .................

These are some of the additional benefits one learns practically  while creating a network of his business. Few fundamental things are very important for any business and also in MLM(Network marketing).

1.      Company’s background or credentials in the market place

2.      Quality of the products and services

3.      Earning potential

4.      Support system – for market development and customer services

Some of the advantages of MLM are.....

1.      No capital investment

2.      No working capital

3.      No office space , manpower etc like conventional businesses

4.      Flexible timings

5.      Income potential – as per wish etc.....

6.      No any special qualifications

Only requirement is your burning desire and attitude to develop oneself and others. Network marketing gives an opportunity to start the work with his/her own flexi timings and develop the business and develop a parallel source of earning for himself and family.

Define your own success ....................................

Different people have different meaning of success . Success in general define by experts as :

a.     Dictionary meaning  - The accomplishment of an aim or purpose

b.     Success is nothing more than a few simple disciplines, practiced every day while failure is simply a few errors in judgement, repeated every day.

-         Success is doing ordinary thing extraordinarily well

– Jim Rohn

c.      Action is the fundamental key to all success – Pablo Picasso

In google search one can find  definition of success  well defined as per one’s vision and goals .

Are we really satisfied with those definitions ?

We look for our own definition and meaning of success .  World is creation of thoughts, actions and results. One need not to look some  one else  to certify his/her achievements  or success. Be your own boss and decision maker. Life  is subjective approach with objective adjustment.

We read the success stories, quotes etc. for inspiration to create our own success that satisfy us. Inner satisfaction & happiness is the real success expressed in  our words, actions and results in day to day life. Some one has analysed the chances of success with expressions as : 

This is how  journey of success start and  complete..................

Twenty first century and people specially young generation of this era are so lucky and graceful which is beyond imagination. To day ‘s whatever  we think, every thoughts and ideas are available on Internet . Plenty of opportunities and resources are easily available for individual to develop himself/herself. People complain about poverty , unemployment , violence ,corruption  etc........Our father of nation said long back

" One World - One Family " - Healthy , Peaceful and Happy People

When i started writing articles and created blog “Spirituality at Works”  in Google  , my thinking pattern changed  and always in search of subjects , topics so that more and more knowledge can be shared.

The idea of "One World - One Family" – Healthy , Peaceful and Happy People came to my mind as i believe “Spirituality at Works ” philosophy has power to bring the entire world together and provide  health, peace and happiness to all humanity . Everyone has right for food, clothing, shelter, medical aid and education. It is the responsibility of world community together to take care of each and every one on this planet earth. I came across some of the good quotes by world personalities :

1.     Never doubt  that a small group of thoughtful , committed citizen can change the world. Indeed , it is the only thing that ever has – Margart Mead

2.     One person can make a difference, and everyone should try – John.F.Kennedy

3.     What can you do to promote world peace ?

Go home and love your family – Mother Theresa

4.     Family is the most important thing in the world – Princess Diana

5.     Violence – free, Stress free society – Sri Sri Ravishankar

6.     Self realization and service to humanity – Anand Marg 

7.     I believe the world is one big family, and we need to help each other – Jet Li etc ....

List is very big. Some of these thoughts are enough to share in this article. Google is full of Quotes and Articles on this subject.

I collected some statistical data from worldatlas/Wikipedia :

a.     Number of Countries in the world        -           @ 194

b.     Total world population                         -           @ 7. 3 Billions

c.      Six countries of the world covers         -           @ 50% of population(3.65 billion)

d.     Twenty countries of the world covers  -           @ 90% of population (6.57 billions)

If we consider this statistics then about 10% population is spread among rest of the countries i.e. 174 Countries – 0.73 billion

If we consider world activities/Groups/Communities at large, we have a common divisions across the world

A.    Governments

B.    Industrial organisations

C.     Social Organisations

D.    Defence organisations

E.     Spiritual organisations

If we consider only one powerful personality from each of these groups  from each countries then total nos. of Representatives would be :

194 X 5 X  = 970 .   If these People work together

and  consolidate the efforts of each and every countries  and organisations , the vision of world community “ One world –One Family ” – Healthy , Peaceful and Happy People is not away ..........

World wide/country wide structures are already in place, steps are already  taken by world communities/Leaders towards this vision in different names and forms......it’s  a continuous journey

Owner vs Employee – Learning from “ Rich Dad Poor Dad ”

Quote: When you are young work to learn not to earn  – Robert Kiyosaki

One of my  Mentor and friend always insisted me to read motivational books and advised to do some thing extra in life. He was of the opinion and view  that

If you want extra time or money  tomorrow then invest today and work for it.

He suggested me to read a book titled – Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki  . I read the book which gave me an understating of liabilities and assets and also what Rich & Poor    

        

people teaches their kids .

Poor people always ask their children to study sincerely , get good marks, and you will get good employment .

Rich people insist their children to just get the education and learn to do some business and become your own boss.

In other ward Rich teaches their children  to become owner and Poor teaches their children to become employee.

Book also tells about  either you learn to get work from money or work for money choice is yours .

For Rich people their money works  so that they get freedom in life and never retired.

Poor people works  for money so that they are always busy  and retired at the age  of 60 and remain poor rest of life.

 I thank  my friend who gave me this advise well in advance of my service career, so that i could think and plan my retirement properly and live a peaceful and happy life. I am a free lance motivational trainer and coach work for people based on my Experience & learning  at early ages.   

Learning – Having knowledge only not going to serve any purpose, until or unless you implement the same in life. We need to take some bold steps and  calculated risk in life to get financial freedom. In Today’s world of high tech communication era lots of opportunities and support available for average people to turn their life the way they want and become financially free and work as per his/her choice in life.

Integration of Body,Mind & Spirit ..............

                                                     

Step by step process of  sustainable development of Body/Mind/Spirit system

1.      Learning – It start immediately after birth. God given mechanism of learning or  our sense organs – eye/nose/ear/taste/touch and skill organs to act or perform our action are mortar organs – hand/leg/vocal cord/genital/extract . There is no structure for learning. We learn naturally as per our wish and desire from environment and associates and enhance our Knowledge, develop our Skills and Attitudes throughout our life.

2.   Education – At the age 3 yrs onwards our education – a structured learning starts in School or Institution based on course curriculum. Step by step we develop our Knowledge/Skills and Attitudes. Within a time span of  12 – 16 – 18 Yrs, we acquire our educational qualifications which is recognised by world

3.   Training – Once we start our occupation either as employee or Own business we need to acquire specific Knowledge/Skills/Attitude to perform our responsibilities and achieve desire results.

                                            

In our body Mind and spirit system

Body – has brain which acquire knowledge and develop the mind which is unique.

Body has organs to perform – which act as per skill acquired which is also unique.

Body – Mind system has Intellect, memory and ego which is again unique.

That is how every person is unique in his nature and personality.

Attitude of any person is  internal behaviour depends upon his thoughts and emotions to a specific task, situation and people in contact. If we understand this entire system based on our level of existence then we have 7 level of existence . They are

Body / Breathe / Mind / Intellect / Memory / Ego / Spirit

These existence have to be kept healthy and operational . As stated above these mechanism are developing abilities on individuals to sustain the system . To keep these existence in perfect order, one needs to learn Astang Yoga , practice it  & keep himself
