            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>How to escape from a dreadful Monday in the year 2020 !!</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/350/1*z_M_XtCCly2jMs2f1Ez0qg.gif" /><figcaption>Oh Shit!!! No way I wanna go back to weekends!!</figcaption></figure><p>After a relaxing and amazing weekend, it feels like we are going to head into some boring journey. There was one point where I started treating Mondays also as a lovely day after the weekend.</p><p>Here are some steps I followed before “Monday”:</p><ol><li><strong>Prepare yourself</strong></li></ol><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/806/1*N5GAA5vk1h5dGKpRgCpoNA.jpeg" /><figcaption>Dhoni preparing for his next day match</figcaption></figure><p>Preparing is just making your mindset get ready for Monday and getting into the mood of what you want to do. For example, if your Monday starts with a stand-up meeting, then get yourself motivated to speak on what you are supposed to, listen to some up-lifting music or go for a run the previous night or it might be anything that lifts you up for the next day work/exam/college. It is very easy to get into the mentality of a Monday routine if you really change few last hours on Sunday. Dhoni is really good example for having a stable mindset.</p><p>2. <strong>Be in the Present</strong></p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/700/1*hWjMyoe_FNSMsuwXSsk9uQ.jpeg" /></figure><p>Usually people think back about their Saturday, reminding themselves of an amazing holiday that they had- so it kind of sets in your mind and it is pretty tough to get rid of , especially when you are not in the present. So be in the present, never think of what fun you had over the weekend (unless asked for!), instead be happy and move on with a smile, which not only makes you fresh but also the people around smile back at you. Be in the present and work for the future. Our memories are good to store happy moments, do not worry, you can relive the happy moments the next weekend too!!</p><p>3. <strong>Do NOT be afraid</strong></p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/600/1*hbsCDjh5rxXCneqtCrY2pA.gif" /></figure><p>Mondays might be really important for some, like students might have their assignment or presentations, employees may have project deadlines, some might have job interviews and so on. This might make your Monday tough to face and also adds up as a boring day in your mind. Just remember one thing, you will win or lose if you feel afraid or even if you feel confident, but feel confident and positive so you can keep seeing positives and learn from your failures on the same path, rather being afraid of what is the result of the day increases your fear rather you can just focus on the process of the day. What is destined to happen will happen, but “<strong><em>Don’t be lethargic, destiny happens on what you work for and it is not magic</em></strong>”.</p><p>4. <strong>Eat Healthy and Good Food:</strong></p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*HZ6tccVjgxlAPunMikpuJg.png" /></figure><p>Eating habits are really important when it comes to being positive about yourself and in being really active. We really do not think a lot about it, because most of us have a priority towards taste than whether it’s healthy food or not. Also, something which gives you temporary pleasure and happiness never lives long, but slow process surely gives back a permanent happiness and satisfaction. So eat healthy during the last meal of Sunday which gets you better sleep as well as more focus towards what you need to do the next day. Maybe try avoiding more carbs and breads during the night, than focus on something less heavy and good. This prepares you for the next day meal too.</p><p>5. <strong>Sleep and Take rest</strong></p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/710/1*jz6irkO-MtMcAenz5n8OCQ.jpeg" /></figure><p>The above image shows that Dhoni is taking some good rest during the India vs Srilanka when there was a break in between.</p><p>Now you are done with your Weekends, you need some energy back to revive yourself during the weekdays. The best and easiest way for anyone is to sleep well for at least 7 hours no matter you have an important day tomorrow, you should be prepared and relaxed when you sleep. Sleep not only makes you feel refreshed but also gives you enough amount of time to spend productively the next day.</p><p>5. <strong>Be on time</strong></p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/600/1*JcajMkbxL9mvGy2rT9mrnQ.png" /></figure><p>Punctuality seems to be a typical word always, but could you think of it again? It actually gives you a lot of time over your next 24 hours. Imagine a situation where your train is at 9 am in the morning and you are there by 8:30 am, surprisingly you get a train by 8:45 am and leave to your work space which additionally gives you another 15 minutes of time to settle down, then it might happen where you might get appreciation by people around you for coming on time if you keep continuing what you do. It not only improves your timing, but your mentality towards work and also you are less stressed about one factor which is time and which is really important, if not now, will be some day. Always start your Monday on a high note so it keep you positive for the upcoming days.</p><p>6. <strong>Have a System</strong></p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*_CiO5vXQI50DpeJZBN2-Fw.jpeg" /></figure><p>Systems or routines are also followed by the world’s top people, maybe Dhoni goes for a net practice, Jeff goes for a Financial Meeting and so on. Never think having a routine spoils your creativity, it in fact, increases your room for creativity because it adds up to your productivity. Additionally, following a routine makes you feel satisfied at the end of the day and positivity follows you. Remember, a time table keeps you to do tasks at ease, where you don’t really have to mix up your tasks in your mind the previous night and get stressed about it.</p><p>7. <strong>Smile</strong> ( The only curve which makes your day and others’ day too)</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/298/1*Yxoef7ykUm9gSLlzq8KMog.jpeg" /></figure><p>You might have the best day coming, but you never know how it turns out to be for the others at the end. Just greet people with respect and a honest smile from your heart, it just not only makes your day confident and positive, you might make another person’s day glow brighter and you might know. Just do not keep the happiness within, this does not mean you have to share your story, but share your smile. Just imagine a complete floor in your office, where people are smiling wholeheartedly. Mondays might be boring, but when everyone has the right mood, the environment fills your mind with positivity.</p><p>8. <strong>Make your bed.</strong></p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/546/1*4n30r5HsMYSJMkvgQIikLA.jpeg" /></figure><p>How many of you have felt that making your bed, keeps you slightly confident? Yes it actually does if you want to <strong>change the world</strong>, start off by <strong>making your bed</strong>. If you <strong>make your bed</strong> every morning, you will have accomplished the first task of the day. It will give you a small sense of pride, and will encourage you to do another task, and another, and another. Then your Monday would be a Bright Day</p><p>9. <strong>Help n BE Happy</strong></p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/275/1*BAVz28kM1Z7AOA6_z99vSQ.jpeg" /></figure><p>Have a practice of helping some one you feel are struggling. It just not only gets you “Thanks” but also allows you to do more for the day, makes you to go with full push. To be honest, you will feel wholeheartedly happy and will keep your mindset strong enough and stress less for the rest of the Monday.</p><p>10. <strong>Workout</strong></p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/800/1*TwAe6Pe2_EZGYDpyhJMG6Q.jpeg" /></figure><p>Work yourself physically which gives you inner confidence. This confidence drives you for the rest of the day. Exercises can be of any form, play some sport for sometime or head to the gym, run by the beach side or even yoga and stretched would do good.</p><p>11. <strong>Refresh Yourself</strong></p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*Sv4E7wbYORjgiBtDkjj0gA.jpeg" /></figure><p>You might have had a really work filled Monday or hectic schedules for your schools or colleges, but remember to refresh yourself. You have your own ways to get back, either by books or music or have some time with friends and so on. So, just remember make your mind freshen up before anything you do. According to psychology, person can concentrate or focus 100% only for 45 minutes at a go.</p><p>12. <strong>Build your Stats</strong></p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/970/1*JJbTEEK1n7fk0oMbeUZzmw.jpeg" /></figure><p>Do not forget to write your notes on what you have done for the day ,what went really good and what went wrong, maybe you could write it in a sticky note or also personal diary would be fantastic which certainly awakes you to do something great for the next day.</p><p>13. <strong>Spend some time with your hobbies</strong></p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*rFvznb6qDKtGspwRs8JDHg.jpeg" /></figure><p>Hobbies and passion might not be part of your daily routine to some of them or most of them in this present world, but you still have time if you follow the above steps. After a day of work or school or even University, have some time allocated for what you love to do, then learn and practice at least for one hour on it. Someday you might find a way to what you love.</p><p>14. <strong>Spend happy times with Your People</strong></p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*eFGiBUKkb9ixTKWkeffa3A.jpeg" /></figure><p>Parents, Friends, Cousins, Girlfriends or boyfriends, just make some time for them so that you talk to them share and enjoy few moments for the day. It also makes them feel happy about their day. Always remember to appreciate for what they have done, may it even be nothing, just push them by making them positive. <strong><em>A Smile which does not hurt others in always good but even a small smile which hurts others is not good</em></strong>.</p><p>Repeat this for one or two weeks and later you can customize the way you want to be productive. If you work good during your weekdays, only then your weekends can be fruitful.</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=d2262d340344" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

Pakistan and West Indies being a team who can win matches by giving good fight are going to go head to head today with a strong squad. Trent bridge pitch gives them the extra batting support where 300+ scores are easily chased down.</p><p>West Indies is a team that will show a strong character with plenty of energy on the field whereas Pakistan shows a lot of strength in their skills. Both do mean a lot for the wins. With overcast conditions in Trent bridge bowling first should be a good option to go with.</p><p>If Gayle goes good with his batting skills, the west indies will win or else if Pakistan bowlers do a good job they have their chances to win. But Cricket has evolved over time and form for players have been coming back too quick than expected. So, lets wait to see the best entertainment today.</p><p>All Gayle fans, buckle up and Pakistan fans stay focused on Gayle. Good to go for the toss and the match.</p><p>Whom do you think will win?</p><p>Head to Head- Total matches =10 , Pakistan Won 3 and West Indies won 7</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/300/1*0cPC_VF9vErcdcsL440v8Q.jpeg" /></figure><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=9497c139bc67" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>CWC19 Match 1 — South Africa vs England</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/670/1*Gwo7I8DmuAyIhSXBVxcSVA.jpeg" /></figure><p>Being the Cricket World Cup Fever, it is the Host team England vs the Proteas, South Africa to kick the journey off with some top class players on the board.</p><p>Faf Du Plessis, having won the toss, elected to field first. The pitch though looked quite hard which is suitable for batting but having seen few green marks on the pitch and having a good deep batting line up for the South Africans, Faf went to chase.</p><p>The well known Bairstrow and Jason Roy opened the innings for England. On the other hand, Faf went for Imran tahir to open the bowling which was unexpected by the SA fans and Tahir got his first wicket in the 2nd ball of the world cup. Eventhough, South Africa started well getting the dangerous Bairstrow out on his first ball, they could not stop Jason Roy and Joe Root to go for their fifties. At the end of 20 overs, England were quite high on their confidence and South Africans were a little worried on how much they could restrict the score. Well it not too late for the wickets to fall for the England players right after the break in the 21st over, quick two well settled batsmen fell easily for two bad shots. They started to be aggressive to take it for a high scoring match but could not survive for much. Having two new batsmen Morgan and Ben Stokes in, England has started to slowly build their innings while SA tried to get back their momentum but which temporary and the two batsmen started to go after the bowlers later on in the 30th over. Within the 40 overs, Morgan and Stokes scored their 50’s at ease. Maintaining a good run rate Eng finished their innings for 311–8. It was a pretty easy job for the batsmen to get their team reach a tight score. The star player was Ben stokes for the 1st innings.</p><p>2nd Innings was pretty a slow start for the South Africans, the character towards the score to be chased was not positive enough. Amla got hit on his helmet and things started to go more slow for first ten overs where Faf and Markram got out early which raised the Eng team energy on the field.While, De Cock and Dussen scored their 50’s in a balanced manner, the SA team was quite confident to chase it. But once De Cock got out, everyone fell for easy deliveries too quick. South Africans ended on a bad note for 207–10. The Star player was Jofra Archer for the 2nd innings. De cock would have surely gone for the win if he had taken singles and doubles and scored boundaries of the lose balls.</p><p>Overall, it was a great start for the England on their home ground. They showed good positive character, each and every time they lost wickets and during de cock and dussen partnership. They came back quite quickly. On the other hand, South Africans looked a strong side again, but could not use their experience in a proper way, they should have played a waiting game. They were too quick to get to 310, instead should have played till the 50 overs to see what is the result. I think Faf can give a fight in the next match. It is just few mistakes for SA to rectify, energy should not be seen bad when things go worse on the field, where it was seen clearly for the South Africans on the field. Hoping South Africans could go better in their next match. Ben Stokes was awarded the Man of the Match for his brilliant 89 and he continued his IPL form for his country too.</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=6b315ebb56d5" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>What If Google , Facebook and Instagram Did not exist?</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*RAL8Xs11TEbRb5oOpi-wvw.jpeg" /></figure><p>Well you know , This article would not have existed in the first place or even my senses would have been different.</p><p>I have no idea , how many would have thought about this in this pretty busy world. Let’s give it a flashback , what was the simple reason , google had been created for? Yes , it is for making people engaging in gathering information on whatever they wanted in the early stage, but later on when data was huge , Google had to revamp their idea to make use of the data to give a better experience. Then , today you can never find a place where Google does not exist on this planet and maybe even a certain distance away from the planet , satellites make use of Google.The quick information , immediate directions , marketing strategies , the reviews , etc. would not have been existed today to make our lives easier and hassle free. What about Facebook and Instagram , the only cost would having a social media to convey an information would have been lost , we would start loving ourselves much more than anything else.</p><p>Imagine the 20th century without a platform like google or any other search engine!!! People would have worked manually to get things done.</p><p><strong>What if Google , Facebook and Instagram did Not Exist! </strong>The life of a freelancer would have been a life of a employer. The opportunities would be limited and the only opportunity would have been to live a simple life yet a one that make us work hard to a single goal in life for a company. Even though when we say opportunities are more , learning becomes tough just because you do not have the right platform to get things updated in the right time. Clients would be a great problem at the first , Marketing yourself would be a second great and finally you can only be a local hero in your talent . Greek and Latin will remain Greek and Latin.</p><p><strong>What if Google, Facebook and Instagram did Not Exist! </strong>The life of a marketing person would have been equal to typical sales person , where physical movements would be more than your thought process. The process of thinking towards growth of a product would be technically reduced and the process of accomplishing a marketing strategy would be more. Digital Marketing would have been Physical Marketing without a lot of paper work. Finally without FB and Insta , Social media marketing would be equal to marketing a product in and around your locality , efforts would have been more.</p><p><strong>What if Google, Facebook and Instagram did Not Exist!</strong> The life of a student. Woaah !! How do you think of this? Obvious right , book worms would have been more and the phrase saying “When Google is there , why worries? “ would have just been a dream . You have to reach back or call your tutor or teacher to help you understand a topic , the value of a teacher actually increases at that point of time when google do not exist. Most importantly , intelligence would have been and hard working would have been the only option to grow. Facebook and Instagram? It is a great romance story between students and these social media platform which will never end. But what if it did not start? Ofcourse , In an easy manner “Kumar would not have known Kapoor” , “Kapoor would not have known Menon” and finally love stories would have been all school and college based. The in-depth of a value of a relationship would have been understand way better. Faking yourself would never be an easy way out to escape. Strangers will be Strangers.</p><p><strong>What if Google , Facebook and Instagram did not exist! </strong>The life of a Startups , would be a real competition to show themselves in front of the world.Locally they might be helpful, but marketing and strategically bringing them up without knowing competitor strategy would make them believe in their product rather than comparisons and insights of other companies. Self trust would have been a great option to grow. Dependency on team members will increase and the trust between team increases. Job opportunities will increase and finally everything is history.</p><p><strong>What if Google , Facebook and Instagram did not exist!</strong> The life of Tourism business would have been at its peak . The opportunities to learn more about history and nature would have been open to all. The truth behind every famous place will be of more importance. 360 degree view would be only an option when we visit that particular place or monument. Who knows , tourism and travels would be one of the top business opportunities too.</p><p><strong>What if Google, Facebook and Instagram did not exist! </strong>The life of Media would be of real importance. Words like share and likes would have never been used. The Newspapers and News Channels would be the king of media. Facebook and Instagram are the ones which makes us both viewers as well as publishers. If it did not exist , viewers will be viewers and media will play media role.</p><p><strong>What if Google , Facebook and Instagram did not exist!</strong> The life of a traveler , restaurant , writers, cinema artists, musicians , singers , sportsmen Government employees and politicians will always be what they are and nothing does affect their life unless they want to be shown to the world.</p><p>But why these, now? Yes, it is obvious in this 20th century to let all 20th century kids know how Google , Facebook and Instagram are just platforms that makes life easier and must make your “Career” Productive. Because Google has it’s own uniqueness of giving you the information that your looking, that does not mean we can misuse it. Productivity is what keep you and your goal limits movie one step ahead. Just take a step back and think , google and FB makes your startup , business or work easier by making routine works easier and makes you think for the next step to grow, but most of us do not even do that, just get back to other side of Facebook and Instagram by posting pics , #OOTD and stuff, finally we blame Instagram and Facebook for making such a platform which makes our day and night ruin at certain point of time. As a citizen of Google and Facebook we are responsible to create a better world for our upcoming generations and let them know what is useful and what is not .Not particularly for tech , but also for our nature because -<strong><em>Every Google search results in CO2 emissions. This real-time data viz shows how much. </em></strong>Now imagine facebook and instagram has a search engine too. Let’s not stop using , but use it wisely.</p><blockquote><strong><em>” Creativity and thinking happens because of our environment and the mindset towards it , so making it a healthy one is in the hands of us”.</em></strong></blockquote><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*VN4Lg6o6gwdITl4w4rGmEw.jpeg" /></figure><p>So, Let us make a better phrase from now saying — <strong>“ What if Google , Facebook and Instagram existed for being productive and helpful!”.</strong></p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/889/1*JGUvVknuPSd6YUqJQ1kNyA.jpeg" /></figure><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=3def93ab8305" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/690/1*OmwBsgz045z2dQMQfsEugg.jpeg" /></figure><h3>10 years is a period of time to look back what have we done to this world and to us that had changed in a better way to lead a healthy life ahead. Its a long story to tell our future generations of how the world was and how beautiful and healthy it was in the 19th Century and early 20th century. There were days when books and newspapers were the mode of communication of happenings around the world. When the technology showed up Facebook and other social Media to us , we fell for what it had. What did it really have?</h3><ol><li>Connecting people from different parts of the world. Which seemed to be a good way of networking and finding the like minded people.</li><li>However , later on like minded people becomes Lovable ones for few where the meaning of love had really been changed there on.</li><li>A second good note to add was the digital marketing which was a plus for the business makers.</li><li>Stories were introduced which had made handsome and beautiful people to showcase their fitness , style and OOTD , etc…. which is the most negative part of the social media.</li><li>From reading habits , playing outdoors, writing and pursuing our goals we have ended upto dedicate our morning hours to the so called Social Media where we search for how many likes have we got , what are the messages and so on… which has caused mood swings in many as well as kills time in many too.</li><li>Humorous is what I call Social Media , where you can see an EGG which is the most liked picture in Instagram and people who suffer without a meal becomes least preferred.</li><li>Finally , today we are the ones responsible for what the world is for , from the worst happenings to the good ones too.</li></ol><p>Social Media like FB , Insta and others are a platform to be used , it is not something which is always a routine in our lives. Do you guys even realize that we rarely read newspapers and we live , but when it comes to whatsapp, FB, insta we cannot resist to read those trolls, or fake news and other’s life stories. This not only affects our productivity , it makes others so proud of what they are doing is right , even though it seems wrong to others , finally that leads to something worse. Today is a world with technology , we cannot stop that anymore, we are indulged into it. Only one thing we can do is to recreate what we had 10 years back or 20 years back. Before you use Social think about this : “ Every Search results in CO2 emissions. In processing 5<a href="http://www.internetlivestats.com/one-second/#google-band">.7 billion searches a day,</a> the world’s most popular websites accounts for about 60% of the internet’s carbon footprint.”</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=565cf7c950e2" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Oh, what is this golden circle related to? Well, it is the circle on what almost all leaders follow, there is no different principle each and every ceo or leaders does , but there is an exact same way everyone follows and it is the Golden circle ultimately.</p><p>Now , what is this golden circle. Just Imagine a circle with three other inner circle , the innermost circle is Why? , The second innermost is How? And the final circle is What?. But , how which hierarchy is correct? Is it why, how and what or what , how and why? Well that is where the top leaders and ceo who wins the world stands apart. There are companies which knows what they are doing and even most of the companies know how are they going to do it, but there are only a few who knows why they do stuffs, that is because they started from why and not from what.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/311/1*B4Ulh0VulT0ix-PJBocVkg.jpeg" /></figure><p>For example , let us have the scenario of how apple became successfull. Steve jobs was not a great coder nor a programmers , but he dreamt of something big and something possible too. Each and everytime whenever he plans for a product he asks why? Why? Why do people have to buy my product? And that is how he started to build. Secondly , he imagined and he called ove his team and asked “ How are we going to get this done? “, he got a solution and they started and finally got what they wanted from why they wanted to do.</p><p>The goal is to do business with people who believe in what you believe but not in what you have.</p><p>Imagine if Apple had followed what , how and why? Their marketing would be like “We make great computers , they are beautifully designed and simple to use , want to buy one? “ But this is how most of us communicate , we say what we do , how we do and why we do. For this in reply we expect some sort of behaviours or replies from clients or customers. But this is what apple actually communicates, “everything we do , we believe in challenging the quality , we believe in making the best and the way we challenge making the best quality is by making our product beautifully designed and simple to use , user friendly and we just happened to make great computers. So , do you want to buy one ? “</p><p>This is where great companies stand apart. Even when employees are hired they work with full sweat and tiredness no matter what , it is just because the employee believes in what the company believes in and not in what they do or what they have. If the company or the ceo works for fame and money , obvious that they do not believe in what they make. So , that is why people even sweat out for those who believe in what they can make but just what they do. So, hire people who believes in what you believe and not just for money.</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=bf0cfc7bd286" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recently I had a few common questions from a bunch of people , this is what they asked “ How is that your able to stay healthy by losing weight and motivated amidst the work and stress at Infosys?”.</p><p>Here it is , I thought i can tell you my Role Model and the theory i follow for my success till now.</p><p>We all have bad habits , we could change.(Late-night snacking, anyone?) We could all use a few more healthy habits in our lives too. (You know the ones—working out, reading more.) Developed by BJ Fogg, a PhD from Stanford, the Fogg Method (which informs his tiny habit program) claims to be able to help you change a behavior with three steps. It’s all about starting small.</p><p>The actual Method is here:</p><ol><li>Get specific:What do you want to accomplish? Target a very specific goal, and translate your goal into behaviors. For example, let’s say you don’t work out ever (no judgement). Instead of setting a goal to workout for 30 minutes every day, try taking a 3-minute walk each day or even just putting running shoes on every day. As Rock Health Says, &quot;Since this habit is so easy, [people] experience success and their sense of ability raises, motivating them to do harder tasks and allowing them to stay above the threshold.&quot;</li><li>Make it easy: The easier the behavior is, the more likely you are to actually do it. Duh. But how do you make something easier? According to the Fogg Method site, you can &quot;consider options for adjusting the environment, the actor, and the behavior itself.&quot; Going back to our exercise example, making your 3-minute walk easier could mean doing it at the same time every day or listening to a song by your favorite band during the walk. Dr. Fogg believes &quot;simplicity changes behavior.&quot;</li><li>Set a spark:No changes happen without a trigger or a spark. What will prompt your behaviour that you are working into your life? Some triggers are natural, but others you must design to make work for you. You need the trigger because willpower alone just won’t cut it. &quot;Forming habits is not about willpower,&quot; Dr. Fogg says, &quot;it’s about design and revision.&quot;</li></ol><p>And Yeah finally Mahendra Singh Dhoni is my Role Model, the things i have learnt from him is not cricket , but the way he manages and leads the team. Whether a loss or a win , he takes the responsibility and follows his practical mind. He accepts the loss and takes the positives from what he had lost and makes sure the negatives are corrected the next time. Even after the win he makes sure what went wrong and corrects those mistakes too. One of his quote which keeps me going is</p><p>“ Staying in the present helps.If you start thinking about the past,you will always feel hurt. But it is important to forget about the past. You can only take your learning out of it. “</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/389/1*yIwIegRipFuaqnrYXzztVQ.jpeg" /></figure><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/443/1*9rUF1b-zNrAHWRs58hBWEg.jpeg" /></figure><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=b8437eb2383d" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We all know the world is heading towards the technology. Development of platforms has been dramatically changing from day to day where every platform works on basis of technology. From driving a taxi to a pilots lofe, everything is technology and Applications. But, the technology depends from one country to another.</p><p>Most of us know the development of applications has become very frequent , but is just development the end of the technology? Is there anything more than that? Yes , there is. What do we obtain from any platform or any product after its release or when users start using it? It is the Data of the users using the platform is what we receive after the development stage is over. Hence Data has to be a crucial part of the future devx1elopments. You woukd wonder why? Imagine, if Amazon was just selling books and did not even take the data of it’s own users or feedback seriously, we would not have seen amazon the way it is now. Same way for the big gaint companies. So, I would say Data is a very vital part for the future implementation of the platforms or Applications. Basically the origin of data comes from only after the development of the application or the products.</p><blockquote>“ Data is the source to Innovation and can be vice-versa too” .</blockquote><p>Technically, Data analysis has got alot of advantages , for example the statistics in the sports field, politics , etc. These kind of statistics are the ones which mainly help and guide the platform to innovate more , because technology never remains stable , it is always evolving.</p><p>So, when people ask this question. Is development better or Data Analyst is beter. I would say both are equally good , both has its advantages. But I conclude saying , being a Data analyst you can be part of taking decisions and you can be a good manager too. If your really good in tech and coding is your passion , you can go with Development. Innovation is an art which comes with creativity and not only with the data we get.You should be out of the box when it comes to Innovation. Thr main importance of innovation should be to simplify the process of any task.</p><p>The average data scientist salary in India is as per research done by pay scale The average data scientist salary in India is around 61,000 to 62,000 approximately depending on your skills and experience. The skills required for a data scientist are data mining, machine learning, data warehouse, Python, Java etc.</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=a5b6cd870d06" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>
