502: SHIQURDU 45

 

 

  • Shiqurdu is a collection of thoughts. Although an odd-sounding name felt appropriate for the collection.

 

  • These are simplified quotes in Hurdu (Hurdu being a mix of Hindi and Urdu akin to Hinglish i.e., Hindi and English). Although in some cases the language has been simplified attempt has been made to retain the thought and the poetic flavor.

 

  • These thoughts have been picked up from various publications. Credit goes to all the original writers who penned down these deep-meaning messages.

 

 

 

सीखते रहे उम्रभर्, 

लहरों से लड़ने का हुनर

 

क्या पता था की, 

किनारे भी कातिल निकलेंगे

 

 

 

 

पुरानी यादें भूल गये,

क्या भूल गये, कुछ याद नहीं

 

कुच्छ यादें याद रही,

क्यों याद रही, कुछ याद नहीं

 

 

 

 

खामोश होना

जब किसी की बात बुरी लगे

 

खामोश रहना

 किसी को अपनी बात बुरी न लगे

 

 

 

गालो पर लुढ़कता पानी,

 

वो लफ्ज़ 

जिन्हें कागज नसीब नहीं हुआ

 

 

 

 

कद बढ़ा नहीं होता ,

ऐड़ियां उठाने से

 

ऊंचाईया तो मिलती हैं,

सर झुकाने से

 

 

 

 

बड़े अजीब दुनिया के मेले हैं

 

दिखती तो भीड़ है

 

पर चलते सब अकेले हैं

 

 

 

 

फ़क़ीर मिज़ाज़ हूँ,

अंदाज़ अपना औरों से जुदा रखता हूँ,

 

लोग जाते है मंदिर मस्जिद,

मै अपने दिल में खुदा रखता हूँ.

 

 

 

हिम्मत  कर , सब्र कर ,

बिखर  कर  भी  सवर  जाएगा

 

यकीन  कर , शुक्र  कर ,

वक़्त  ही  तोह  हैं  गुज़र  जाएगा

 

 

 

 

ज़रूरी और जरूरत

 

ज़रूरी नहीं की किसी को आपकी जरूरत हो

 

किसी की जरूरत बनना ज़रूरी है

 

 

 

मिट्टी से भी यारी रख

दिल से, दिलदारी रख

 

चोट न पहुंचे बातों से

इतनी समझदारी रख

Five by Five Rule: For Assured Happiness

 

 

“You have to decide your life’s priorities, and then you have to live them.”

– Oliver Blatt

 

Rule: If it doesn’t matter in five Years/months/weeks, don’t spend more than five hours/minutes/seconds on it.

 

Trivial vis-à-vis Enriching. Our lives are finite, and our time on this earth is precious. In our consumer-driven, fast-paced lives, we often find ourselves caught up in a whirlwind of worries, desires, and countless material possessions. However, these concerns fade into insignificance after pausing and reflecting on what truly matters. One should focus on what truly enriches our lives rather than obsessing over trivial matters without lasting significance.

 

Misnomer. Material possessions are transient and cannot be taken with us. Accumulating them often leads to more stress and less happiness, so measuring success or happiness with material possessions is misleading.

 

“The best things in life aren’t things.”

– Art Buchwald

 

What Truly Matters. Personal growth and memories are more valuable than objects. The experiences we gain and the relationships we build are the true treasures of life. Emotional bonds with family and friends outlast material things. Making a positive impact on society and the lives of others is enduring and fulfilling.

 

Hakuna Matata.  “No trouble”, “no worries”, and “take it easy”. Let go of anxieties about things that won’t matter in the long term. Live in the present moment and avoid placing too much importance on material wealth. This will bring a sense of relief and peace to your life.

 

Focus on.

 

    • Seek wisdom. Look at life, events, and responses from a broader perspective.

 

    • Align your actions with your actual values and life goals. This will give you a sense of direction and control over your life, empowering you to make decisions that are in line with your true self.

 

    • Prioritise and live in the present.

 

    • Accept things for what they are. Every negative emotion is self-created, caused by our resistance to reality.

 

    • Let go of material desires and embrace a minimalist lifestyle.

 

    • Invest in relationships and spend time nurturing connections.

 

    • Practice gratitude and be thankful for what you have rather than longing for more.

 

    • Seek fulfilment by engaging in activities that bring joy and meaning to your life.

 

    • Take care of your mental and physical well-being.

 

Follow the five-by-five rule, liberate yourself from needless worry and live a more purposeful, fulfilling life. Ask yourself if what you’re worried about will matter in five years. If the answer is yes, carry on. But if the answer is no, give yourself five minutes to fret, then move on.

LEADERSHIP: A Privilege

 

 

“Leadership is not about titles, positions, or flowcharts. It is about one life influencing another.”

 

– John C. Maxwell

 

Titles and positions of authority do not make one a leader but provide an opportunity to be a leader by making a profound difference in the lives of others by listening and understanding, elevating and inspiring.

 

Leadership, is a responsibility, a calling, a privilege.

 

Leadership demands a perspective shift in focus from the self to the collective, from gaining power to empowering others.

 

Value of Listening. Leadership is not about having all the answers, but about asking the right questions and truly hearing the responses. True leaders understand the value of listening. By deeply listening, leaders gain invaluable insights while showing respect and acknowledgement. This fosters trust, an essential ingredient for cohesion and collaboration.

 

Understanding. Understanding is the foundation of leadership. It’s not enough to simply hear; a true leader must empathize, relate, and interpret the underlying emotions and motivations. This depth of understanding ensures that leaders are attuned to the needs, aspirations, and challenges of those they lead, and are prepared to provide guidance, support, and mentorship.

 

“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.”

-John Quincy Adams

 

Inspiration. The fundamental principle of leadership is inspiration. It’s about lighting that spark within individuals, making them realise their potential and helping them see possibilities they never imagined. It is about a commitment to unlocking the latent potential of every individual.

 

Cohesion. Cohesive and effective team building is another pivotal aspect of leadership. Leaders create an environment conducive to growth and achievement by recognising the unique strengths of each individual and placing them in roles where they can thrive. But beyond that, it’s about fostering a sense of belonging, a culture of collaboration, and an environment where everyone feels valued.

 

Genuine leadership is not about ruling; it’s about serving.

 

Leadership is about influencing, impacting and inspiring.

 

Leadership is not about being at the top of the pyramid but being the foundation upon which others can stand tall.

 

Leadership is measured by the mark one leaves on people’s hearts, not by hierarchy.

 

Leadership is about listening deeply, understanding profoundly, and inspiring endlessly.

 

Leaders who lead with empathy, compassion, and genuine care, don’t just create followers, but cultivate future leaders.

 

Leadership is a privilege, and a sacred trust given to one. It should be embraced as an honour.
