STRONGLY YOURS

Give and take is the basis of every relationship. More so in case of a professional relationship. Between an employer and an employee, a consultant and a client or a seller and a buyer, the relationship is strong and long-lasting if it is balanced.

If your approach is the same (80%), your business is going to evaporate in some years. You will invest your time, money and efforts, and you will extract all the profits from the system...

For me, 'HELP' is an over-used and over-rated PITCHING word. It has lost its meaning as an arbitrary and generous act of assisting or uplifting. We were taught that we should help anyone in trouble, in need without a want of getting paid. I offered such HELP many a times in life. A lady was going to the bus stop lifting heavy travel bags in her both hands, I helped her by carrying those weight to the bus. A blind person was hesitating to cross the road, I helped him holding his hand and walking across the road. Some classmates have always trouble understanding the patterns of Textile Designs, I helped them by explaining the methods of marking those patterns the graph papers. And I also got such HELPs from different people. Neither I nor them ever asked for any payments in return. ~~~///~~~ Now HELP has been commercialized. Every professional, every company offers you HELP. Every product helps you in doing something and by selling that product to you is also a help by...
