Connecting Minds

Global Mindsets – Connecting People: Makes you Happi?

Few days back my father was talking to me on “Global Mindsets” and its implication on Business. It was very interesting but some how I missed the track after some time; then I was disconnected with topic due to his travel to home town.

This morning while I was flipping through paper, I saw a huge ad of NOKIA with tagline of “Connecting People”.

Then it occurred me…what is all about Global Minds and Connecting People? Emily Dickinson said “who has not found the heaven below, will fail of it above. God’s residence is next to mind. His furniture is LOVE.

text

When I was reading the above quote, the terms like GOD, Heaven, and Mind are sounded me very philosophical. But we always fall in love with Residence (own House) and love to have luxurious furniture in the same Home.

For me…connecting minds is more important than connecting people.

text

For example….we meet so many people quite often in Train / Flight / Bus journeys. But how many are becoming close associates / family members / stake holders in your decision making? The answer boils down to ‘Hardly anybody or few’.

Let’s take another example…we would have passed through series of levels in our education…where we spent at least a year in any school/college / university….how many are still in touch with us? We would have changed companies likewise…how many are still in touch with us….again answer could be ‘Hardly anybody or few’.

You know why it happens in our lives…because we always try to connect people but fail to connect with their minds. You may say that’s integral process of connecting people. Let’s take a small example….our kids while playing with toy telephone….they imitate (dialing, saying hello…hello…papa/mamma) just like you the way... you speak to your inmates. In this case…he is successful in connecting with his people surrounded by him…but definitely not with MINDS.

In our professional (personal) life…we do meet people quite often but disconnects with them various reasons. There are humpty numbers of reasons. These connections fail due to influence of third party, under estimation, too much of assumption on certain things, some times not accepting the reality, suspicion, ego, lack of confidence, too much of self thinking and misunderstanding the other side of person and his/her MIND.

The following condensers (cables) may require connecting MINDS.

M – Maturity I – Ibility N – Nature (Dic.Meaning: the force that is responsible for physical life and that is sometimes spoken of as a person) D – Deep Thinking S – Suppress Suspicion

All our communication gadgets will certainly help in connecting people. But you need to connect with their MINDS too. Then you may certainly see the changes in behaviour of people. If you disconnected with person…dam sure you will get him/ her back in life…if disconnected with their MIND….you JUST CANT.

So Happy Connecting Minds!!!
