People who take interest in cricket matters are familiar with Duckworth Lewis system for setting victory targets in matches facing interruptions. This system applies to several other matters as is evident from the story below. Father- What rank did you get in 10th exam? Son- I got 2nd rank Dad! Father- Why 2nd? Why you didn't get 1st rank? Son- Actually Anil and me got same marks. But they gave Anil 1st rank and me 2nd rank. Father- Why? Both should have got 1st rank? Son - They applied Duckworth Lewis System and compared our fathers' 10th marks and gave him 1st rank! Father- Ok Ok. 2nd rank is also very good! Keep it up! 🙂🙂😀

Teamwork makes the Dreamwork. The power of a great team working very effectively together! #Teamwork #Focus #collaboration

Rising Stronger: The Power of Resilience, Grit, and Emotional Intelligence in Personal Growth In the journey of life, challenges are inevitable. The ups and downs we face can test our mettle, but it's our response to these obstacles that truly defines our character. The quote, "You can knock me down, but I get up twice as strong," beautifully encapsulates the essence of resilience, grit, emotional intelligence, and the concept of flow in the pursuit of personal growth and triumph. Resilience and grit are the backbone of this mindset. Resilience is the ability to bounce back from adversity, while grit is the tenacity and determination to persevere despite difficulties. Both qualities work hand in hand, enabling us to withstand setbacks and emerge stronger. When we face challenges, setbacks, or failures, it's not about avoiding them altogether, but about using them as stepping stones to build greater strength. Each fall becomes an opportunity to rise, learn, and adapt. Emotional intelligence (EI) plays a crucial role in this narrative. Understanding our emotions and the emotions of others allows us to navigate challenging situations with grace and composure. EI empowers us to channel our feelings positively, make informed decisions, and maintain healthy relationships, even in the face of adversity. By acknowledging our emotions, we can harness their energy to propel us forward, rather than allowing them to hold us back. The concept of flow, as introduced by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, also intertwines with this quote. Flow is the state of being fully immersed in an activity, where time seems to stand still, and optimal performance is achieved. When we're in a state of flow, our skills and focus align perfectly, enabling us to tackle challenges with a heightened sense of ability. By embracing flow, we can face difficulties head-on, leveraging our strengths to overcome them. The journey of winning, whether it's in personal achievements or professional endeavors, often requires us to rise after being knocked down. By approaching challenges with resilience, grit, emotional intelligence, and a flow mindset, we not only rebound from setbacks but also use them as catalysts for growth. Every stumble becomes a stepping stone, every defeat a chance to learn, and every obstacle an opportunity to evolve. In conclusion, the quote, "You can knock me down, but I get up twice as strong," encapsulates the essence of resilience, grit, emotional intelligence, and flow in the pursuit of personal growth and success. By embracing these qualities, we can navigate the tumultuous journey of life with grace, emerge from challenges stronger than before, and forge a path towards a brighter future #resilience #grit #flow

Great message about one aspect of culture from Dan Temple at Cobalt Human Solutions Ltd, pictured here with his eldest watching the rugby. What a brilliant, very human, picture. In a business world that often does not focus on the human dimension - and instead prioritises metrics, performance management, spreadsheets, KPIs, strategic initiatives, monthly financial figures, processes, policies, and endless other corporate parafinalia - so many organisations seem to have forgotten the following simple truth: 🚀More than any other single factor, what generates business performance is PEOPLE and CULTURE. Specifically a culture in which people feel:🚀 ✅ Wanted, valued and understood ✅ Heard, thanked and appreciated ✅ Inspired by what the leadership and company stand for It's not just me that thinks people and culture are vital. Louis V. Gerstner, Former CEO of IBM, said: “Until I came to IBM, I probably would have told you that culture was just one among several important elements in any organization's makeup and success — along with vision, strategy, marketing, financials, and the like... I came to see, in my time at IBM, that culture isn't just one aspect of the game, it is THE game. In the end, an organization is nothing more than the collective capacity of its people to create value.” As Dan Temple says, never be scared of standing out, being different and speaking the truth that others won't. Most human progress has come from people who did….. #cultureeatsstrategyforbreakfast #leadership #thehumandimension

It can be easy to forget as we get older that rugby is a game and that first and foremost games are meant to be fun! If we focus too much on winning, the fun aspect can diminish, whereas, if we focus on enjoying what we do (the process), then winning is more likely to happen as a by-product. The same can be said for any of our careers - work in your passions and only good will come. Don’t put the cart before the horse! #rugby #rugbycoach #silverfoxcoaching #proplayers #rugbycoaching #itsagame #fun #rugbycamp #appreciation #fy #fyp #foryou #foryoupage

I always try to tell our players that having an alternative route is important and how the sporting journey will at some point come to an end. I'm glad our players are starting to understand the importance of CV's and Linked in and how focusing on life after Rugby is as important as life on a rugby pitch. #rugby #dualcareer #sportsmanagement #lifeaftersport #playerwelfare #playermanagement

In my opinion, this falls in line with buy low, sell high. I see far too many people buy high thinking it's going to continue. This is a bigger issue for the people thinking short term. #financialliteracy #longterm #planning #diversification #retirement #markets
