Movies can motivate you to do better

Movies can motivate you to do better

When you are feeling depressed, sometimes watching a movie that signifies triumph over adversity can help put your studies back on track

‘Just a few weeks to go before the exams and unable to summon up enough energy for even picking up a reference book from the library.’ If this line from a social networking blog describes your state of mind, maybe its time to do something out of the box.
Movies are generally seen as distractions to study and usually the first items on the ‘hit list’ when exams are near. However, the right movie can actually shake you out of that mind-numbing stupor and move towards study books again. By inspiring one to do better, movies can actually (believe it or not) be leveraged as a motivational tool.
However, this does not mean that depressed students have carte blanche to watch any and every movie for the purposes of ‘getting inspired.’ The movie has to necessarily be one that will show a person taking on overwhelming odds and emerging on top through sheer dint of hard work.
When the mind has totally given up and is resigned to losing an academic year watching a movie that signifies triumph over adversity can help put your studies back on track. If nothing else, it will spur you on to prove a point to the world about your capabilities.
When in this state of mind, study only with those who are in a similar situation. Being with bragging scholars will only make you feel worse!

Good Will Hunting
Written by Ben Affleck and Matt Damon and starring them in key roles, Good Will Hunting is about an unrecognised genius who is forced to see a therapist and study advanced mathematics in order to avoid jail time for assaulting a police officer. The character of his girlfriend, played by Minnie Driver, struggles with mathematics assignments. When he offers to quickly solve them for her in a few minutes so that they can spend more time together, she points out that it wouldn’t be right. The scenes set at Harvard where the professor posts a difficult problem taken from algebraic graph theory as a challenge for his graduate students to solve, and the eager students accosting him on a holiday to ask who solved it, are memorable.

Good Boy Bad Boy
A Bollywood remake of 'Class Act', Good Boy Bad Boy has Raju Malhotra (Emraan Hashmi) and Rajan Malhotra (Tusshar Kapoor) who are poles apart. Raju is poor in studies but good in sports, Rajan is a brilliant student but a zero in extracurricular activities. The new principal divides the students according to their merit. Raju falls for a girl in A-section and swaps his place with a hesitant Rajan who enters C-section. The principal decides to teach them a lesson by sending their names to a quiz and dance competition. How they accept the challenge and emerge triumphant forms the crux of this movie.

Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar
The backdrop of Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar is the sports competition between students of various colleges. The highlight is the marathon cycle race at the start and end of the movie. The character of Sanjay Lal Sharma (Sanju) essayed by Aamir Khan is shown to be a carefree youngster who is full of himself and takes all aspects of life, including studies and sports casually. When his elder brother, the college sports champion has an accident and is hospitalised, Sanju becomes more responsible and decides that he will participate in the race and give it his best. The intense preparation within a limited timeframe and sheer effort during the race is truly inspiring.

As an intern, he develops a number of ways to make phone sales calls more efficiently. He also reaches out to potential high value customers, defying protocol. Concluding his
internship, Chris is offered the position. The epilogue reveals that Chris went on to form his own multi-million dollar brokerage firm.

THE GOLDEN RULES TO MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR FIRST 90 DAYS AT WORK

90 first days and 9 rules





HERE ARE THE GOLDEN RULES TO MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR FIRST 90 DAYS AT WORK 

 

College or campus life for everybody has a uniqueness about it. It varies for individuals, based on their personalities, traits, talent and other attributes that lead to all sorts of experiences and learning. Till the interview process, life pretty much remains the same ­ unique and uncomplicated. But, the first step into the first corporate office and the biggest noticeable difference is that everybody is the same with the same environment and behavioural experiences.Suddenly , pressures seem to get heavy , deadlines mount and making friends is not that easy anymore. While there are no exams as such, everyday and every moment is a test of skills and personality on the whole. This transition can be very difficult to adapt to.However, planning in advance for the transition by taking into account one's personal goals and ambitions can help to make the process smooth and cope with the stress. While this might sound very difficult, it boils down to good planning and certain simple rules that are applicable for each and everybody .

Interestingly , the first 90 days of any transition in the corporate world are the most crucial for a professional. It is the make or break phase. As a fresher, it is important to be careful about basic etiquette such as punctuality , listening and observing capabilities, following professional ethics, sticking to deadlines and readiness to learn. Professional ethics entails simple aspects of the corporate culture; for instance, do not barge into the employer's room as you would do with a friend or even a teacher.Also, avoid office gossip or politics at all costs. And if you do happen to be present in a gossip conversation, better listen than offer a point of view.

Here, a few strategic rules that can help you not only adapt to the job but also stand out as a suitable and well-groomed professional:

1. Develop the right attitude: The right attitude for a young professional is to be optimistic at all times. This motivates you to face the demanding environment and career challenges.Impervious to the surrounding pressures, your attitude should be to keep moving forward and tackle any obstacles en route;

2. Limit expectations: Negativity or disappointment sets in when we over-expect. Do not over-expect from the job profile, remuneration or other responsibilities. This is the difference between success and setbacks;

3. Make a good first impression: Unlike in college, first impressions matter a lot in an organisation. It determines how your future work relationship with the concerned individual would be and in an organisation, you don't get enough time to set things right later. Traits of dedica tion and accountability in the course of work would help in achieving this;

4. Build cordial relationships: Ultimately , it is about people you deal with in the corporate world who have also been or are in the same shoes as you. Therefore, it is necessary to build empa thetic and intuitive relationships with superiors, peers and other employees;

5. Be a good follower: As a fresher, one needs to be a good team player, adhere to the rules and regulations and learn fast;

6. Explore the culture: Work cultures differ with organisations. Utilising the first few days to understand the culture, the people, the scope of the organisation and how the business works will help you become a knowledgeable and mature professional in the future;

7. Develop work expertise: An absolute necessity is to master the skills and knowledge on what you have been hired for as ultimately it allboils down to work;

8. Build up organisational understanding: Developing a better know-how of the organisation helps in getting more connected and becoming an important part of the team. It helps in having meaningful conversations in the office that portray your personality;

9. Be professional: A professional is not only determined by technical skills or knowledge base, but also the ability to stay focused and emotionally stable at all times. The stress or complexity of the situation should have no bearing on the behaviour of the per son. Fresher employees displaying such profes sionalism are sure to score an ace among peers and superiors.

Being a newcomer, one's career begins with learning new things and plugging the gap between tech nical skills and soft skills. Making this transition successful is a very exciting and landmark step in life that warrants ut most care. The author is senior VP, talent management, ITC Infotech

Thieves tunnel into bank, loot crores

Thieves tunnel into bank, loot crores





A group of thieves decamped with cash, jewellery and valuables from 77 lockers after digging up a 100 ft tunnel to break into a Punjab National Bank branch at Gohana in Haryana's Sonepat district. The robbery came to light on Monday morning when bank manager Devender Malik opened the bank's strongroom at 10am and found it broken. At least Rs 40 lakh cash was missing from it.
Sources said the robbers had broken 77 out of 360 lockers at the bank. The losses are estimated to run into crores.
The thieves chose an empty , disputed house to start their digging for the tunnel with 2.5 ft circumference. They had been digging for days and knew the exact location of the strongroom and lockers.
Preliminary investigations suggested the robbers chose a Sunday to strike since the area remains deserted over the weekend.
Police said the strongroom had an ordinary covering unlike other places, where locker rooms have at least one ft concrete covering with a thick iron sheet.“We have constituted teams to crack the case at the earliest,” said Sonipat SP Arun Nehra. He blamed the bank authorities for not following proper norms mandatory for the storage place where lockers are kept.The branch is one of the oldest in Gohana and has nearly 35,000 account holders with saving deposits of about Rs 125 crore.
Bank officials have asked clients, whose lockers have been broken into, to provide details of their contents.A special investigation team has been set up to probe the robbery for which the robbers apparently drew inspiration from Bollywood's “Dhoom” series films.

Switching jobs? Don't get caught in these tax complications

Switching jobs? Don't get caught in these tax complications





Don't ignore your taxes when you change jobs. Here are a few tax complications you should avoid when you switch

It's not uncommon for a 20-something to have worked with three or four employers in as many years. However, in the excitement of sifting through jobs--be it for a higher salary, better prospects, fresh challenges or acquisition of new skills--most of them ignore their finances and end up suffering needless complications. The worst casualty of poor financial planning is taxation, which is a bugaboo avoided by most employees either due to ignorance or sheer laziness. Here are seven most common tax-related issues that are a fallout of job switches and how to make sure you don't face the financial consequences. Impact of multiple Form 16s
Employers calculate the tax liability of an individual on the basis of the salary they paid during a fiscal. If you change jobs mid-stream and do not inform your new employer about the previous income, be ready for a shock when you file your tax returns. You might have to cough up additional tax at that stage. This is because both employers would have factored in the basic exemption of `2.5 lakh and Section 80C investments of `1.5 lakh while calculating your tax liability. They would also have given you the benefit of lower tax slabs. Sample this: your package is `8 lakh with the first employer and the second employer raises it to `10 lakh. The first employer will deduct monthly tax assuming that your taxable income for the entire year is `4 lakh (after basic exemption of `2.5 lakh and deduction of `1.5 lakh for Section 80C investments). If you change jobs in October, the second employer will assume that your taxable income is `1 lakh after a similar exemption and deduction. So, while your total income for the year is `9 lakh, you would have paid tax for only `5 lakh, and that too at a lower rate.
Provident Fund
The EPFO has promised that Provident Fund accounts will become portable from October.Till this becomes a reality, it is best to transfer your PF balance to the new employer instead of withdrawing the amount. If you withdraw your PF balance before five years of continuous service, you will lose the tax benefit availed of on the amount in previous years. The amount will be taxed as normal income in the year of withdrawal and you might lose a big chunk of interest earned on your balance to the taxman.
TDS on joining bonus
If you get a joining bonus, but don't serve till the stipulated period, you will be asked to refund the amount. Don't forget the tax angle if you do this. Your employer must have deducted tax on the bonus before paying it to you, but when you refund it, you have to pay the entire amount (including tax) to the employer. Of course, the deducted tax can be claimed when you file your return. Suppose A is offered a joining bonus of `1 lakh, but gets `70,000 after a 30% tax deduction. If A leaves the job within six months of joining, he has to pay `1 lakh to his employer, and the `30,000 deducted as tax can be claimed as refund when he files his return.
Leave travel allowance
According to the leave travel allowance (LTA) rules, travel expenses for you and your family can be claimed for two return journeys in a block of four years. This means that tax exemption can be claimed only twice, irrespective of the number of companies you were employed with during those four years. So, you can carry forward unused LTA from your previous employer to the next within the same block, but must retain the proof of travel to claim LTA.
Avoid taxation of allowances
If you change your job before the January deadline--to submit documentary proof for claiming the allowances you are eligible for--your annual house rent and medical or conveyance allowances could lose the tax-free status. This is because your previous employer will pay it along with the final settlement amount. If you have not submitted rent receipts and bills, the sum will be taxed as normal income. So, make sure you submit rent receipts and other documents before you put in your papers. If you fail to give the rent receipt, you can claim HRA ex emption when you file the return.
Tax on overseas income
If you are moving to an overseas location, you may choose to withdraw your Provident Fund after three years. If a PF account is not active for three years, that is, there has been no deposit for 36 months, the EPFO will stop crediting interest.
Apart from this, you also need to determine your residential status for the year in which you make the move. If you move before October (spending less than 182 days in India), you will be considered a non-resident for the tax year.So, the income earned abroad will not be taxed in India. However, if you are considered a resident Indian, you will need to pay tax on your overseas income in India. Besides, if India has a double taxation treaty with the country you are employed in, you can claim credit for the taxes paid abroad.
Check all documents before you exit
You must have the following documents when you move out of an organisation: payslips, full and final settlement statement, Form 19 and Form 10C for PF withdrawal, and your Provident Fund account details, among others. Also, do not forget to ask for your Form 16 at the end of the financial year.

Abusive bosses can make employees prejudicial

Abusive bosses can make employees prejudicial





Employees who are verbally abused by supervisors are more likely to “act out“ at work ­ doing everything from taking a too-long lunch break to stealing, says a new study . “Even if the abuse is meant to be motivational, the abused employees are still more likely to engage in counter-productive work behaviours,“ says Kevin Eschleman, assistant professor of psychology at the San Francisco State University , USA. The fallout from this abuse is not limited to the supervisor and employee and can, in fact, affect an entire company if it leads to lost work time or theft, Eschleman warns. “We did not just focus on how these workers felt or whether they started to dislike their jobs more. We looked at consequences that actually affect the bottom line of an organisation,“ he points out. The study included work data from 268 full-time employees selected from an online survey of more than 80,000 people. The employees held a variety of jobs and had an average of nine years at their positions. Workers were asked how often their supervisors “put them down“ or ridiculed them.
The researchers were somewhat surprised that even motivational abuse caused the same behavioural backlash in employees. “Workers may see any kind of abuse as a violation of how they expect to be treated,“ Eschleman points out. “I think there are a lot of supervisors who believe that this could be an effective way to lead but I do not necessarily think that is the case for a lot of people. In general, a lot of people are going to respond negatively ,“ researchers note.
