Help others! It’ll come back to you

Rarely do I write posts which say things simply and there is nothing abstact in it, because Simplicity is just not my cuppa. Confusion and Chaos is my forte and I am the most productive when I write in that manner. Please read my previous posts for reference and excuse for simplicity.
My motto is Very simple “Productivity amidst chaos “ , why try to simplify things when making things simple would use time and need effort, so reaching equal productivity amidst chaos helps me save time and effort as I find chaos equally easy to handle as simplicity …. Ok enough of Blabber now coming to the point …

Following are a few of my practical experiences which helped me realize that when I helped others it helped me.

Incident 1

I was a faculty @IMS and use to teach LR to students. I have a helping attitude and helped most of my students in and after classes( Excuse for Immodesty ) . One of the few students who I had helped staye in touch with me throughout my MBA ( which I did post My faculty job @ IMS ) and is still in touch with me.When I joined As a brand manager with Lotto post MBA I took up four interns through vaibhav’s contact Devesh who is a BBA student. Devesh and team of Interns did a good job in their internship and Through Devesh and Team I met Another guy who arranged a football tournament where Lotto got to take part in . At this tournament I met a guy Who got me Lotto in two more football tournaments and also I met People who have helped Lotto get to places where it would not have been possible If I had not helped vaibhav and stayed in touch with him. All this happened because I helped vaibhav…….

Incident 2

One of my colleagues in the office wanted to convert a few jpeg files to pdfs . I was in a hurry with some of my work but I took ten minutes out to help him by downloading a driver in my computer which helps do the same. I just can’t remember how helpful this driver has been to me and how many times post that I have converted word,excel,bmps,jpegs to pdfs. Sometimes to reduce the size and sometimes for non editable functionality. I could do all that just because I helped a colleague out on a very busy day.

Incident 3

Again on a very busy day I was given a work by my dad to make a concept note for an event of theirs. I made 3-4 concept notes with a page of literature on all. He liked them and used one. I have used one in my newsletter: (Potpourri) and still have 2 more to use elsewhere.

Not once does the work done go waste. It always comes back in one way or the other.
