Winners of “MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT AT WORK” Contest FOR THE WRITE UP Winner -Abdulghafor Al Saeed, ITQAN There is many many many times in this company that we laughed together and had very funny and successful times together. But the one thing that I think it will keep ITQAN name with me as long as I live is that in this company, it was the first time I saw the lady who later on became my spouse! I don’t think anybody else had that in ITQAN and this is not captured by pictures, it’s captured by life. FOR THE PICTURE Winner -Greta D Silva-Christmas Celebration First runner up -Vishal Sood, ITQAN Sharing one of the one of my Best Memorable Moments at Work, I don’t have the picture of the same as of now but am sharing couple depicting the similar flair. Almost 8 years back one day my mentor & boss in my previous organization came up to me with an opportunity to move from Project implementation/ delivery role to Pre-Sales. First runner up -Jomy After initial reluctance I decided & moved on with new role only to explore more penetration & growth in my professional graph now but then there was this moment which I always remember. My “First unplanned Solution Presentation/Demo” in my new role at an event specifically meant for CXO’s from all India. I was forced to present in lieu of my boss who withdrew his name at the last moment. It was actually a deliberate act to pump in confidence & test me (don’t know what). Believe me initial few minutes standing in front of such prestigious audience left me cold for initial 30-40 seconds but then there was no looking back. The Presentation ended up with a huge round of applause & appreciation. Second runner up -Shameer Today I thank my ex-boss & cherish this moment as one of the best memorable moment at work that brought me so near to my passion, my strength i.e. Pre-Sales & inculcated ever increasing confidence to present myself & my solutions in front of all my customers. Cheers…..look at me with my most recent flair I am in while presenting my solution in from of a 60 odd people at Oman HR event. 18
HANDLING SUCCESS AND FAILURE Success and failure go hand in hand. One has to learn to deal with them. Even young children are falling prey to the so called rat race. It is very important to teach them about dealing with success and failure. A child who can deal with these is successful at every stage of life. Here are some tips on handling success and failure. The rat race The rat race these days begins at a very junior level with children. Children are put on the treadmill even before they begin school. In the past, children attended school in order to learn. Now, they are expected to be learned in order to get into school. In this scenario, children are constantly driven to achieve; they encounter a test around every corner. Their self-esteem becomes a barometer of their successes and failures. Parents should have the ability to guide their children so that both their successes as well as their failures are positive learning experiences. To deal with success and failure in a healthy manner, it is important that children develop the right attitude towards learning. They must realize the importance of learning in itself, as well as the necessity to do well. Once they have realized what it means to do well, they begin to set their own goals and standards of achievement and judge how close their performance comes to matching their set goals. Children soon learn how to look outwards and become aware of others' expectations of them. This leads them to entertain certain beliefs about their abilities. As their horizons widen, they come to understand that their achievements affect others beside themselves and thus take on a social value. Discouragement School can be quite stressful for children with constant examinations and competitions. While some children thrive in such an environment, it can sometimes have the opposite effect of killing initiative and the desire to achieve. Children feel that they are being pressured to prove their abilities. They would rather retire from the competition and play it safe than stay in the game and see if they can win. Parents can help their children by making them perceive tests or projects as interesting or challenging activities, rather than a test of their abilities. Thus instead of saying, "Let's see how quickly you can solve these problems", parents could say, "Why don't you try to solve these problems." Parents should try to avoid categorizing their children's intellectual abilities. If you express the opinion that your child is a 'poor speller' or that 'mathematics is not his strong point', it is almost as if you are giving your child permission to give up and not attempt to improve his performance. Instead you should try saying, "This is a difficult problem" or "That is a complicated word." The child gets the message that the problem lies with the task and not with his ability. He must be made to feel that his intelligence is flexible and can be applied to any task. He must understand that it requires effort and hard work to reach his goal. Overdoing praise While some parents discourage their children's achievements by being excessively critical, other parents achieve the same effect with excessive praise. Parents who gush over everything their children do are well-intentioned, but unrealistic. Protecting their children from criticism all the time can backfire. If children get the message that everything they do is 'brilliant' or 'the best', it demotivates them. They cease to feel the need to make any efforts to improve their performance. This also inhibits their ability to develop their own standards of performance. They become confused, not knowing what is really good. Parents should keep in mind that they are not the only judges of their children's performance and ability. Children have to be taught to live in the real world. In school, their teachers and peers constantly 19
