Zen and the art of MotorCycle maintenenace-Full Throttle

-
So I have read one of the bestsellers of all time-cult-Zen and the art of Motor Cycle maintenance.
Quality!Virtue!Dharma.A subtle read. I think as I grow up I have to read it once again to absorb some more virtues from it.I am still not clear about author thoughts on quality but I liked when he says Gumption is the gasoline that keeps it ticking and at the time of writing this article I am totally running out of it.

I loved his thought about the education and my belief is also re-affirmed that I am not the only one who is short fuse present who don;t like the boring methodologies of teaching.Author has tremendous insight about physics/philosophy and of course not to forget motorcycle.He is also witty at times.

Phaedrus is a cool character and reveals a dark streak that I also possess.

Brilliantly written ,my first exposure to the world of Philosophy and I guess I will do it in future

Thought provoking and its content has a stark resemblance to Madbhagwat Geeta:-I guess Quality!!Virtue!!Dharma!!-work dispassionately have a very fine cleavage or no sepration at all

I must confess that I recently started watching game of thrones, and was blown away by it. As my friend “ American Obama ” puts it “Game of Thrones is competing in league of its own”.   During  five seasons I was impressed by one character Daenerys Targaryen popularly known as “Khaleesi”. Having studied management I was curious on sharing my thoughts on “What Khaleesi teaches us about Management” Personal Branding Khaleesi also known as dragon mother is known across 7 kingdoms for owning Dragons. Dragons are the most powerful weapons in the entire series though no one has seen them in action for long time.Dragons are her core competency, no one else owns them.  Khaleesi positions herself as a compassionate yet stern leader who does not entertain cock and bull story.   She brings and end to slavery in Slaver's Bay commands, respect command of Dothrak and leads the dragon too. The way Khaleesi emerges from a timid girl who is married to “Khal Drago” to the fam

“there are moments when you crave to read something phenomenal and at that time God handles you a book like this one. a great read. I was amazed at seeing how tough and we'll balanced Adam was. looking at kind of work these guys have done for the man kind I often think we are very low in value chain. it also motivates us to stay focused as we still have to achieve greatness and only way to achieve is to keep fighting for your dreams. Adam story tells us it's ok to fall but not ok to lay low. stand and fight ,be humble ,stay grounded and have a focus for excellence. one day world will be yours.” I wrote above as my review on GoodReads after I completed this book a few days back. I recommended the same to a close friend of mine as well. I gave him the teaser about the book and told him that I haven’t done justice and you need to read it to feel it. Now I will try to elaborate more about my thoughts on the same. Adam Brown caught my attention from one of questions I re

Maslow's hierarchy of needs vs My hierarchy

-
For the past few days I often this discuss this term or sperm (courtesy Vicky Donor) with my friends. I often say that my friends like JB, KP  and me lie in the lowest rung of pyramid as we haven’t  hit the tunnel yet and veterans like PJ, JJ are in at the level three and friend RD and SS at level 5.  Those who must be thinking what Maslow theory all about do a Google and you will find out. Hit images under Google and you will see a triangle with following parameters( bottom to top):   Physiological needs Safety needs Love and belonging   Esteem Self-actualization Mr. Abraham Maslow says that whenever human reaches fulfil a certain level he jumps to next level. I still remember in final year of engineering when my teachers were making sure that we mug this topic she said food, hunger and sex are the basic needs at level 1 and all when everyone heard about sthe word sex the entire class went bersek as boys had boner and may be girls reached their orgasm;) in subconscio
