Nature-Conversion-System

I am pondering on this topic from 20 January 2011.
Nature
  • What we are in our opinion and to those related to us. It is our personality, finances, attitude, success, relations, etc.
  • Our Nature is often the function of our family background (immediate parents), friend circle, our community, Education, Profession, Spending habits, Nature of the Spouse and Children, etc.
  • Nature often reflects our paradoxes, hypocrisy, intelligence, cleverness, how we deal with our friends, Seniors, Juniors, enemy and level of our “openness and transparency”, etc.
Some approaches to identify the Nature:
  1. What you often like to become and what you often do under self motivation?
  2. When you sit on internet, the contents that you often browse and read and that what is easily accepted and retained by your memory.
  3. Who are your role models.
  4. In class room, where you seat.
  5. Your makeups, hypocrisy and show.
  6. The thoughts, aspirations which often come to your mind and dreams.
  7. The topics on which you discuss and write when self motivated.
  8. The television channels which you watch, when alone, when with parents and when with friends.
  9. Your perceptions towards different things/situations in life.
  10. The things which you recommend to others.
  11. Your ego level and how you satisfy your ego.
  12. If suddenly deprived of all monetary supports, the way in which you will move ahead?
  13. If suddenly deprived of all emotional supports, the way in which you will react?
  14. The reasons for which you love and/or marry someone.
  15. What you do when some one forces/compels you to do something?
  16. Your reactions to different violence, stressful and adverse situations.
  17. Human Resource Test: When all jobs have same salary, when there is no competition, and getting professions you desire is very easy, then the profession which you will like to take up.

Those who often get into Dilemma/Cross roads are often Laggards and Failures. In this situation Writing/Blogging, increasing Horizontal growth, increasing Openness-Transparency, and taking professional consultancy services may be able to identify the Nature, which will help in understanding the matching System/Situation thus the Direction and Fortune.

Some of the services for Identifying our Nature are:
  1. Assessment.com
  2. Career Counselling from IGNOU
  3. Monster India-Psychometric Test
  4. Central Test-Psychometric
  5. Astrology/Career SWOT analysis
  6. Astrology/ Career forecast
  7. Sakshat-The educational portal from HRD Ministry, GOI
Conversion
  • What we like to become, considering the motivation factors, livelihood, prosperity and other sense of satisfactions around it.  
  • Vast number of economies/Systems like Formal schools, colleges and training institutes, religious conversions, etc. are based on it. 
  • Conversion towards Nature is with very less Resistance, whereas Conversion against the Nature has High Resistance.
  • Most of the people live life to “impress” others, or for “what others talk about him/her”, or how others “react” toward him/her, so the Conversion often takes place to meet the expectation of others.  
  • Conversion is towards what we are attracted. It is towards what others (especially, family, society, age/maturity group friends, employers, employee, etc. expects from us).
  • Conversion is towards the Systems in which successful+/rich+/affluent+/prosper+/happy (materialistic) people lives.
  • The Factors which motivates Conversions are, Systems with Secured Job, Salary (High), authority/power, accommodation, vehicle, Beauty, Sex, Money, Tasty Food, Property, water resources, Security, and other pampering facilities.Grants/Donations/Charity/Providing salary even when not productive, etc. causes strong reason for Conversion of Beneficiary towards the Benefactors.
  • The Systems which pampers their Human resources, often kills the entrepreneurship qualities and makes them to breed the “pampered children”. 
  • Such Systems and Conversions often promotes inequality, hierarchy, promotes jealousy, ego related problems, revolts, and criminal activities, especially among those who could not properly Convert themselves, due to inner or situational resistance.
  • Religious Systems will Convert Nature by “Sanskaras”/Baptism/Circumcision, Providing Emotional and Financial support at the "immediate need of hour", etc. 
  • Conversion is best in the early young age, when we are infant, student, learner and virgin.
System
  • It is the economy in which a person operates. It is his/her educational, professional and administrative setups-rules, regulations, formalities, disciplines and expectations by the government and employer.
  • System Supports the Conversion of Nature.
  • Systems of Previous births (If you believe in Rebirth after Death), family, Governments, Current Employment and society have impact on the Nature.
  • Natures with Leadership qualities, Entrepreneurs, Bureaucrats, Writers, Celebrities, Philosophers, Saints, Astrologers, Priests, intellectuals, Strong-Dominant-Effluent people are able to create new Systems.
  • System should be like an amoeba so that it can adjust well its shape as per the changing situation, and it can “take up”/recruit the right human resource suited to its needs.
  • The person/Nature who does not find the most suited job is unfortunate and the System which does not find their most suited human resources/Nature is also unfortunate.
  • Every organisation is bound by a systematic rules and regulations (constitution). The person, who understands the System, follows the rules and regulations, meets the requirements of the system is often successful (in terms of respect, money and sex)  in life.
  • Smart Systems are able to identify their human resources and try to acquire them, often without bothering about educational qualifications, experiences, and other Conversions.
  • Smart Nature/People are able to identify their Systems and strive hard to get into it through different suitable Conversions.
  • Unfortunate Systems (Failures, Pauperism, Begging, Sex work, Theft, Loot, Terrorism, Naxalism, other forms of Violence, Diseases, Health hazards, Parasites, forceful/lured religious and Cultural conversions, Bribing, Tempting, etc.) are smarter than the Fortunate Systems in finding out their Nature/Human resources.
  • Many of the so called Unorganized Systems are also smarter in finding their Nature/Human resources.
  • Fortunate systems (those that pamper their human resources/Nature) are most often with very limited capacity, does not like openness and transparency, and quiet often are not smart and fortunate in finding their suitable human resources/Nature.
  • For example, the Systems of Transgenders in India and Emotionally Orthodox religious/cultural/linguistic Systems are very particular in finding out and acquiring their Nature, sometimes even forcefully!
  • With the increasing number of Natures (Population), if the number of Systems (Economies) to utilize the Nature and sustain themselves also increases, there will be an egalitarian growth, happiness and prosperity.
  • Similar Systems will Compete and also Cooperate. After some Decentralizations and Mergers-Acquisitions the Systems will attain sustainability.
  • Government (Administrative System) should promote formation of many systems by privatizing almost all Government enterprises, so that there is no monopoly from Government side and there is lots of Oligopoly. The Government System will then act as a "Refree". Currently the Government Systems tends to pamper their selected sections of Natures/the loyalists, when in need of public support, at the time of election and internal conflicts/domestic violence.
  • Educational Systems, Human Resource Training Systems should be smart enough to analyze and screen the different “Natures” at very young age itself (Misery and Misfortune Management).  For matching the best suited Nature for the System, Global opportunities should be taken into consideration, and getting Passport and Visas should be made easy.
  • System and nature should not develop bias for each other and “Shifts”/ “divorces” to match the perfect Nature to the perfect System should always be welcomed. 
  • The Fortunate Systems should hunt for their Nature in the manner similar to Unfortunate Systems.
  • The Natures comprising of failed ones, laggards, dulls, less intelligent are often the supporters, hosts and Fortune providers of the so called Successful Natures (Celebrities/Leaders) who in return, often sustain the livelihood of many follower and fan type of Nature.
  • In the egalitarian system, individualists will be more and the gap between the failures/laggards and successful people/leaders will be very less. System and Nature will easily find each others, without much struggles and barriers. 
  • A Nature feeling/or being considered "Undervalued"/lost/misplaced, unable to participate in generating income, unable to perform up to the expectation will be in condition of mismatched System and Nature.
  • The System may tolerate an "Underperformed" Nature, allowing him/her to Convert to the Expectations or may allow him/her to discover his right Nature and find the suitable System for him/her or "fire" him/her out with or without insult/torture.
  • The System in which a Nature  has become a "Parasite", it will be best to help and motivate the Nature in "Shifting" to the right System.
  • Well diversified Systems with good coordination along with a central control, will often find some or other ways to utilize the different "Natures", controlling parasitism and "misfortunes".
  • Parasitism is no doubt a failure on part of the System in "goal orientation" and selecting right Nature, but Parasitism is a pessimistic view. Same in terms of optimistic view will be "empowering" the human resource/the Nature, so that he/she can later empower others and to the Systems which helped him/her in self realization and attaining the potentials that are well rewarded by the situational demands/markets.
  • For a good System good Natures are important and for good Nature, planned/disciplined breeding is very important. Systems often decide, who should breed and who not!
My Personal Nature: I am bit lazy, slow in many expected activities, but I am consistent learner. Procrastination/Student syndrome/Perfectionism and "taking things for granted"  do sometimes affects me. I like flexibility and find difficulty in selecting. I selected Plantation course out of beauty, short duration, Government support, but it did not helped.
I love Sanskrit, Often also support maithili, speak Hindi, but earn my livelihood and express myself in English. Tamil, Kannada, Gujarati, Bengali are often close to me.
I take my own time in understanding the world, and the world too takes its own time in understanding me!.

I have been in formal education from year 1988 to 2008, i.e. 20 years with “gap” of 2 years, so totally 18 years. But I could never learn what profession will suit me best and fulfill my life. I stayed 4 months with my second Boss, who told me that my personality suits best to become a teacher/professor, and I should not damage his business, and he paid half of what he had committed, and later “fired” me out.
Again after staying for 4-5 months with my third boss (IIM studied), he told me to come to his house and teach his children.
Without hurting anyone's feelings, and in lighter sense, I often feel that many of the Schools with good infrastructures are just meant to give job to the "educated wives (English and other Foreign language speaking)" of the "Rich and effluent men".

Teaching my Teacher
·        During All India Tour of my B.Sc Agriculture, when our course teacher and tour guide took us to the house (now maintained as museum) of some of our former Prime Minister, I asked my teacher about family based legacy and importance of death. I discussed, “Do you feel that the children born in the family of “noble people” will also be noble or continue to be “noble” and will the Child born in the family of Common man will continue to be Common.
How much land, property, money, etc. should be given to a dead people? Detachment to Dead people is important, keeping some of the lessons learnt from them, alive.
·        During my Management course, In a session on Energy auditing, which was handled by the Director of the Institute, who also happened to be the Course Professor, I remarked, that many of the “High Profile” people, even in the warm weather, wears thick jacket/coat as mark of their Position, and sits in Air conditioned room/car, and ironically they often talk of Energy Accounting/Auditing/Saving!

The Private Job and the Job gap

Intelligent people don’t get into the Job gap/or they just don’t wait to get into the Job gap!

Job gap may not be good for the employee but is good for the employer and the economy, as the unsuitable Human resource is weeded out. Employee will have to maintain the decorum of the job, or get terminated!
Too much job gap may increase your detachment, or make you a parasite, but it may also increase the chances of your becoming unemployable.
Sometimes it is better to remove the unproductive employees ("Parasites"), as he/she may generate/promote negative thoughts in the mind of other employees and de-motivate the productive employees, causing considerable loss to the organisation.
Always the employees cannot be proactive, they need motivation, goal orientation, empathy and sympathy from their Employer/HRM.

What Job gap gives?
  1. Sleepless nights
  2. Anxiety
  3. Worries and Uncertainty
  4. Loss of money from your savings/ Fear of becoming Pauper. 
  5. If you have debts like education loan, than you will not be able to pay the EMI (equal monthly installment) and interest will go on increasing. 
  6. If you are Single, with very less cash liquidity, and an uncompromising, Individualist, then you will not find your Other Half. 
  7. It may leave you into situation where you become “Covert”.
  8. May make you absent minded and a day dreamer. 
  9. It will give the employer from small and medium industry, an opportunity to hire you at a salary less than what your qualification deserves. 
  10. You will start remembering and contacting your old friends and seeking help from them. 
  11. Your ego may start having an abnormal growth. 
  12. You may land into the vicious cycle of Probation period and poor experience. (Vicious cycles)
  13. If you are internally strong, optimist with faith in God and self, then you will become more religious, philosophical, customer to Human Resource/ Career Consultants and/or religious “Gurus” and /or astrologers, etc. 
  14. If you are not internally strong and optimist with faith on God, than you may become a prodigal child of your parents / Social parasite /addict to intoxicants (tobacco products/alcohol/drugs/Opium/Marijuana, etc.) / Criminal/Naxalite/Terrorist/part of the sex industry/ etc. 
  15. Rarely, but opportunity to get better job.
  16. If you had been working far from your house and had not visited your house for very long time, than an opportunity to visit your house! 
Managing Job Gap 
  1. Sales ≡ Survival. Strive to increase the Sales and the Profit of your organisation, and also try to get the credit for higher sales/profit on your name. Keep this as your prioritized goal and forget all your personal goals. 
  2. Motivate/encourage your coworkers/subordinates bringing money to the organisation by increasing the Sales/Profit.  (To increase sales, no much higher degree is required. Pleasing personality, ability to convince, optimism, knowledge of the language of the client/customer, etc. is enough)
  3. Plan your finances and savings in such way that even if tomorrow you are asked to resign, you may sustain yourself and your dependents till finding of new job and getting the salary.
  4. Don’t be averse to competition.  Competition is the rule of life, as the life starts with the competition between the sperms. Even the saints and beggars have to compete with their peer ones.
  5. Never criticize your boss and the organization in which you are working.
  6. Never try to show yourself smarter than your seniors. 
  7. Never argue with your boss and cross question them.
  8. If you feel uncomfortable, keep quiet and try for silent search of another job and then quietly resign. 
  9. Avoid being too much open and transparent.
  10. Keep on trying for Government job. (There the parasitism is quiet tolerated! If you are not doing work as expected by your higher officer, you may be scolded/ not given promotion/suspended in extreme case; but you will not be terminated! ).
  11. Digest the fact, the boss is always right.
  12. Don’t teach thriftiness to your boss/senior. 
  13. Be a blind follower of your boss.
  14. Don’t think about the cost the organization will have to bear at attrition, but think about the cost that you will have to bear on getting into the job gap.
  15. Unlike US, in India there is no “Jobless claim Benefits”. There will be hardly anyone even to help you.
  16. Your good contacts at the period of good time may help you.
  17. Never show that you are idle. Even when no proper work is being assigned to you, try to show that you are involved in some important work and you are important for the company/organization.
  18. Never nurture your ego.
  19. Try to digest few facts.
  20. Never try to come very close to your Human Resource Manager. Even if you feel to be idle in your organization, never go and tell your HR about that.
  21. Never use your office resources for your personal interests and hobbies. E.g. using office computer for blogging, chatting with friends, personal emails, etc.
  22. Similarly never use your office communication system to talk to your relatives, friends.
  23. Never comment about anyone or give judgment about anyone. (Habit of loose commenting is very dangerous)
  24. Never forget your status in the organization. 
  25. Even when you are suffering from monotony, drudgery, or no job satisfaction, never express that to anyone. Never express your frustrations to your co-workers.
  26. Beware of the organizational politics. 
  27. If you develop fear that the boat in which you are traveling along with your co-workers has a hole in it, you need smartness in managing your fear. Your fear, when known by others, can magnify the fear of the investors of your company, which can cause havoc. So never air-out your fears about loss, failure, etc. with your juniors, subordinates and/or superiors. 
  28. Be cautious when there is overstaffing, and no work is being allotted to you. 
  29. Don't forget to switch off or keep your mobile phone in Silent mode while attending a meeting/seminar/conference, etc.
  30. Never attend a personal call, when your Boss is near you or talking to you.
  31. Stand up from your seat when your boss + /senior employee + /customer comes near you to communicate or see your work. 
  32. Don't forget to close your personal files from the computer, when your boss/senior employee comes near to you.
  33. While attending any exhibition cum sale, if you happen to quote wrong price for any of your product, don't give over value to your word and stick to it, but say sorry and give the right quotation. 
  34. Never interfere, especially when your boss is saying something to a client and you have felt that he/she has given wrong statement, and you pin-pointing his/her mistake, trying to correct him/her!, not even when your boss is too close or friendly to you. 
  35. Don't try to be a perfectionist! 
  36. At the time of your recruitment, If the employer does not take any of your original certificates, be sure that they will not mind even if you resign the next day of joining! In this case you should keep on trying for a better job. 
  37. Beware, in some interviews, there can be some members from interview panel, acting as your competitor. 
  38.  If they keep some of your original certificates, then be sure that they do not want you to loose immediately. 
  39. The employer happy in recruiting you, will arrange at the organization’s expense, accommodation and food facility for you and will even pay you the cost which you have borne in coming to the site of interview. 
  40. Analyze your "Nature", preferably in the early stage itself and explore the opportunities most suited to your "Nature".  




















Increasing the Employability (Apart from Educational qualifications and knowledge of different languages):
  1. Having house in the city/town or the places where job opportunities are more.
  2. Getting married! Most of the Job prefers married men/women than the single ones.
  3. Having Passport and Visa, Voter Identity Card, Permanent account Number (PAN), Demat account, Driving Licence (Two wheeler and four wheeler), National and International ATM card, Internet Banking, Multi city Cheque book, Unique Identity Number (recently launched), shares of the company in which you like to work, etc.
  4. Having  Mobile phone (multi SIM+/Long battery life+/Internet access+/GPS+/etc.), Motor bike (outdoor/field work and travelling jobs) (Car for high profile job) and/or Laptop/Net book (managerial job)



Some of the techniques (De-motivation practices)  to remove from the job/force to transfer :
Many company/organisation do give hint or warnings along with the chances to improve, before firing someone.
Before straightforwardly asking to resign, most of the employers/HRMs, create situation when the employees may themselves resign from the job. Some of these are:
  1. Allotting no work/ not properly defining the work
  2. Abusing / Criticizing before the peer group, subordinates, etc.
  3. Providing designation lower than some of the less qualified employees
  4. Allotting work on Holidays, giving no proper leave, no benefits/appraisal for working on holidays, etc. 
  5. Calling the female employee at somewhat lonely place, house (of the employer), etc. 
  6. By making the female employee to stay in office till late evening/night beyond the office hours, by keeping on allotting some work. 
  7. Harping about less-profit/loss, and not giving salary/wage or delaying in giving salary/wage. 
  8. Neglecting, not replying to the issues raised by you, etc.
  9. Creating situations of competition between the fellow employees.
  10. Making you to travel different places without giving you the expenses in advance and than creating delay in clearing the Travel Allowance/Dearness Allowance/ expense bills. 
  11. Your immediate superior will ask you, have you got the salary for the month in your account? Many senior staffs have not got the salary! The company is in loss. Prepare for another job. Or will create similar environment to make you feel job insecurity.
Finally terminating
  1. The employer will ask you to search another job for the time being, and that they can rejoin later, when the organisation passes out from the “difficult” times. 
  2. Asking you to submit the facilities provided by the organisation along with the resignation letter.
  3. Asking you to leave for your house and stay there unless, the organisation recalls him/her.
  4. Transferring you under the “new boss” in a new office (near to your house), who does not like to consider you his employee. 
What employees need ?
  1. Salary/Wage for livelihood sustenance.
  2. Work close to the house and/or,
  3. Work close to the family members and/or friends.
  4. Availability of affordable accommodation
  5. Being considered important for the organisation, and love and respect from the co-workers.
  6. Justified salary/wage with increments to maintain the position, inflation, etc. 
  7. Clear job definition, goal orientation and motivations.
  8. Job/Livelihood security, no fear of job gap, even when job gap is there, emotional and financial support from the employees and hope of getting at least at par job in another organisation. 
  9. Security to life and health, insurance for life and health-both personal and for near and dear ones/family. 
  10. Availability of food to which you are habituated (e.g. Vegetarians will not enjoy working in the places where mostly non-vegetarian foods are available) and the products which you are in habit of consuming.
  11. Availability of other infrastructure: Road, affordable Transport maintaining Time and providing convenience in terms of seating arrangement. 
  12. Computer with Internet facility, Mobile phones with proper signal, etc.
  13. (Some Tamasic needs of many employees are: Tobacco for chewing / Bidi / Cigarette / Gutakha /Alcohol / Meat products etc.)
  14. Opportunity of getting better job at later stage.
  15. Empathy/sympathy from the Management.
  16. Better growth and development prospect for your children. 
Getting New Job!
When you have got it as a seeker/on mercy at job gap, etc. (You have not been snatched from your current organisation.)

When you are lured or snatched from your current organisation.
When you are a job seeker, with very less cash liquidity and high liability, you will not have much bargaining power, and your importance for the organisation will depend on the situation, vacancy etc.

The old/existing employees of your new organisation may feel jealous and/or insecure.

You may want higher salary and position but management will not like to create jealousy situation for its old/existing employee.

Old/existing employees may even try to pull you down or see a competitor in you.

You may find difficulty in taking decision, when a new job offer comes from the company  which had earlier not paid attention to you, but now when you have been supported by another company (though not at the expected salary).

Though it may be controversial from the view point of ethics, you will have options and thus bargaining power. Here you will be important for the organisation, which wants to snatch you.

But beware; there may also be a ploy to destabilize your career or the organisation in which you were working.


Unethical ethics/Paradoxical ethics

  1. Why an employee though frustrated in the current job, does not want to leave it?
  • Loyalty?
  • You somehow want to complete your probation period and earn some job experience. (It may be that, you would not have been able to continuously complete even a year in an organisation!)
  • If you have promised or signed a bond, that you will not leave by yourself.
  • If you are scrupulous and gratefully ‘indebted’ to your current boss for giving you the job in difficult times.
  • You may not be confident of getting another good job.
  1. Actions of a frustrated employee: 
  • Writing blogs on the office computer or personal computer with mostly complaining/revolting/negative thoughts.
  • Posts resume on different job sites
  • Talks negative about the company with the co-workers or with the near dear ones.
  • Does not meet the target and gives several excuses.
  • Prepares for the possible job gap.  
  1. When you do not shift to another organisation, but remains frustrated /dissatisfied with your current job and expresses your frustration by cursing your fate, situation, etc., you will practice an Unethical Ethics or Paradoxical Ethics.
Government Job Vs. Private Job
