Office Gyan

Got some really good office gyan yesterday. In a way got two sets of gyan and both on my way back home from office.

The first one came from a very experienced superior of mine, someone i respect alot.
1. He said that no matter what job you are doing or what position you are working at, you always need to be a human being first.
2. Always remain grounded tm the earth. It hurts least if you fall and fewer people see you fall. If you are too high up in the air, you can pretty well guess the consequences.
This was on my way from office to the metro station, i had got a lift.

The second set of gyan was in the metro, close to my destination. As always, two people were talking at a volume audible to me. And you know, hearing is involuntary. One of the more experienced guys from among the two was sharing anecdotes from his professional life. By the time the metro reached the destination, he beautifully summarised the entire conversation into three points:
1. Obedience to superiors
2. Respect towards superiors, peers and subordinates.
3. Initiative to learn more.
The first two make your life easier at work (sort of hygiene factor). The third one helps you grow(sort of motivating factor).

I getting all this gyan at this juncture seemed ominous.
