Re: Handling Arrogance in Oneself.......
Thanks, Ramesh.
As the quote by our Mahatma goes, "Be the Change you want to see in this World," we should always think of changing ourselves to see in this world which is there in the movie Munna Bhai series, I believe.
Practicing this is very difficult, but once done, this is the simplest solution to all things in life and all the issues we face on a day-to-day basis.
For example, I will tell one incident from my life at the office. I am a Project Manager leading a team of engineers.
One of the team members was always adamant about keeping his workplace always dirty and untraceable. I advised him to change this and also warned him many times after that. Despite this, he was not in the habit of keeping his workplace clean.
I just started to clean his table before he comes to the office daily, and he did not know who was doing that. I kept all the papers in order, files in a rack, etc. Later, I started appreciating him for keeping his table and desk clean. He was ashamed and accepted that he is not doing that, and he was also surprised about that.
Later, I told him that someone who is his well-wisher might have done that. From the next day, I saw him keeping his table clean as I had stopped the activity. Also, he has started telling his other peers to be neat and clean in the workplace.
This is the effect of the change we want to see.
