The easiest thing to waste is time, this saying though heard very often is hardly heeded by most. As the month of October completed its first week and we at Blue Caramel had our Quarterly review session, it was observed that some individuals were whiling away their time and in turn whiling away the company's resources as well. The easiest thing to do with such individuals is to phase them out from the organisation but we the Blue Caramelers have decided to give them a last chance to prove their detractors wrong and retain them in the family, The Blue Caramel family.
The importance of time has been revered by all the successful people in life. Dhirubhai Ambani, the founder of the Indian business conglomerate, Reliance was once just a petrol pump attendant in far off Aden. He could have whiled away his time there but he had the foresight and guts to turn his hardships into opportunities and the petrol pump attendant gradually became the owner of one of India's largest petrochemical refineries along with diverse interests in textiles, power, finance, telecommunications and so on.
Bill Gates, of the now world famous Microsoft Corp is a college drop out. People in that age group have impressionable minds and he could have whiled away his time as well but he put his mind into the work in hand and transformed Microsoft into a global giant with Paul Allen.
Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne started assembling handmade computers from a garage, Ronald Wayne left the company soon after but the Steves continued and the rest as they say is history and Apple Inc today is one of the most valuable brands in the world.
For all Blue Caramelers the thing to understand is that to maintain status quo is the easiest thing, while away time is probably easier, but the opportunity lost by these (in)actions have long term repercussions in one's life because flowing water will always come down and hence one should not always float with the tide.
