dc.description.abstractThe amount of effort we put to get things done properly need not have a direct relationship to the success of the work. In fact, many a times we come across a situation where despite putting a lot of efforts, we tend to lose out on the whole. For instance, a student does considerable preparation for the examination but does not score commensurate to the efforts. A sub?ordinate puts long hours of work and prepares a report for his boss, only to be reprimanded by the boss for an inadequate job. We conduct a family function or a public social function and earnestly put efforts to make everyone happy. However, at the end of the function there are complaints and dissatisfaction on the part of the guests. In all these cases one common reason could be that they did not develop a correct understanding of what is required to accomplish the task on hand. Nobody likes to put enormous efforts in doing things and end up with a sense of dissatisfaction. Therefore, it is important for us to address this issue at a fundamental level. Moreover, all these will leave a trail of unhappiness and frustration in our mind. If this repeats we may develop a negative attitude towards people, lose interest in engaging in such activities and begin to blame others for the mistakes. In some extreme cases we find fault with ourselves and withdraw from many worldly activities. Such an approach to life is not very good. There could be several reasons for this state of affairs. We may not have the skill and knowhow of doing things. If that is the situation, then we need to equip ourselves with the required skills and expertise. On the other hand if we have the required skills and expertise and still end up in such a situation it is a much serious issue to be addressed. One of the reasons for this could be that we haven’t developed an eye for details. Once we develop an eye for details, it raises our level of alertness in discharging various activities in life........................
