Have You Taken a Pulse Check Yet ?

Have You Taken a Pulse Check Yet ?

Fine, we're all still stuck into this long drawn pandemic.  Now, just a quick check:  when was the last time you have a taken your own PULSE CHECK ?  If I may guess, you hardly did [probably because of this pandemic] ?  And likely still, the last PULSE CHECK you had was way prior to the pandemic when your bosses sat down with you for your performance appraisal.

Thing is, it is immaterial and irrelevant to state that you hardly had taken a PULSE CHECK because we're still in this pandemic. Truth is, we should have egged ourselves to take a PULSE CHECK because this is all that matters.  Who else can best measure ourselves than us ?  Why can't we measure up to our top performers at work?

Why is Japan popularly known as the LAND OF THE RISING SUN ?  It's more than just because the sun rises first in Japan.  Its generational work ethics is what brings the Japanese, generation to generation, crossing over to the latest challenges today.  They had that tragic 1923 earthquake.  They lost in WWII.  They got submerged by those huge tsunamis recently but where are they now?

What we have learned from the Japanese is their hard core work ethics that never waivered or withered through generations.  Ironically, Japanese are compared against Americans because while the latter are self-motivated. Japanese have unconditionally embraced that 'GROUP MENTALITY' wherein they always look up to their superiors for approval. 

At the end of day, get back to yourself and when you do a PULSE CHECK, figure out if you are genuinely happy and proud enough as to how you have carried on with life OR do you have that guilt feeling because you have not done MORE THAN ENOUGH for your health, MORE THAN ENOUGH for your family, MORE THAN ENOUGH for your work and MORE THAN ENOUGH for yourself.  If you fail in any of these benchmarks, indeed you FAILED but do a CATCH UP dude, redefine yourself now❗❗❗
