    There is a saying that goes like- “If there’s a work for tomorrow, do it today, and if today, do it now.” Whenever there’s possibility, we should definitely try to do the work today instead of procrastination (Saying that let’s do it later). The Benefits of Do it Now attitude: 1.        You get more things done in the day 2.        You get more free time if you complete everything if you have the spare time now 3.        You feel stress-free as there’s no pending work. 4.        You feel better about yourself as you complete more work. S ome caution though, as doing everything now is not the reason to get burnt out.  When should you keep the work for later, or tomorrow:- 1.        You are feeling very tired, and doing the work will cause you illness, or result in a poor performance or mistakes. (If there’...

     Teacher’s Day, and movies/books about school/college or even literature like Harry Potter reminds us of our teachers, and what they did for us during our learning years. Teaching is a profession that requires a lot of sacrifice, and efforts which often go without gratefulness, and in many countries with underpayment/delay in payment or even no payment at all (Especially in the developing countries). Now with the current Corona outbreak, things have become worse for the education field, but still, the teachers' fraternity is adapting through online teaching & trying their best to help their students.   Why would a person spend the entire life teaching the same thing to the same aged batch of kids/teens/adults but every time there are new faces & challenges of adjusting with them, and getting good marks/grades from them? The teachers often become teachers because they like educating others, love interacting with them, and think that the profession ...

As Corona virus is still going strong, and the vaccine not coming very soon, there's an important question- Are the traditional offices a thing of the past now? Well, not really as we all know how still our essential workers, medical professionals, politicians, defense forces, the police, and many IT companies are working with minimum staff, and safety precautions, the offices are not gone per say, but the working conditions will be different than before. I think that most of the positions will be converted to remote/at home ones, and if not, the staff will be much less than what it was. Only bare necessary, so that there's enough distance between people to avoid the spread of the virus unknowingly as we know that the aerosols containing the virus strands can land on the other person's body and if unknowingly that person touches the nose/eyes/mouth, the virus will enter the body. Besides, the risk of breathing in the aerosols while talking. Masks, sanitizers, heat senso...
