“It’s been 18 years since I joined Volvo, a Swedish company. Working for them has proven to be an interesting experience. Any project here takes 2 years to be finalized, even if the idea is simple and brilliant. It’s a rule.”
Globalized processes have caused in us (all over the world) a general sense of searching for immediate results. Therefore, we have come to possess a need to see immediate results. This contrasts greatly with the slow movements of the Swedish. They, on the other hand, debate, debate, debate, hold x quantity of meetings and work with a slowdown scheme. At the end, this always yields better results.
1. Sweden has 2 million inhabitants..
2. Stockholm has 500,000 people.
3. Volvo, Escania, Ericsson, Electrolux, are some of its renowned companies. Volvo even supplies NASA.
The first time I was in Sweden , one of my colleagues picked me up at the hotel every morning. It was September, bit cold and snowy. We would arrive early at the company and he would park far away from the entrance (2000 employees drive their car to work). The first day, I didn’t say anything, neither the second or third days. One morning I asked him, “Do you have a fixed parking space? I’ve noticed we park far from the entrance even when there are no other cars in the lot.” To which he replied, “Since we’re here early we’ll have time to walk, don’t you think that whoever gets in late will need a place closer to the door?” Imagine my face.
Nowadays, there’s a movement in Europe named Slow Food. This movement establishes that people should eat and drink slowly, with enough time to taste their food, spend time with the family, friends, without rushing. Slow Food is against its counterpart, Fast Food and what it stands for as a lifestyle. Slow Food is the basis for a bigger movement called Slow Europe, as mentioned by Business Week.
Basically, the movement questions the sense of “hurry” and “craziness” generated by globalization, fuelled by the desire of “having in quantity” (life status) versus “having with quality”, “life quality” or the “quality of being”.
French people, even though they work 35 hours per week, are more productive than Americans or British. Germans have established 28.8 hour workweeks and have seen their productivity driven up by 20%. This slow attitude has come to the notice of USA , the pupils of the fast and “do it now” brigade.
This no-rush attitude doesn’t represent doing less or having a lower productivity. It means working and doing things with greater quality, productivity, perfection, with attention to detail and less stress.
It means re-establishing family values, friends, free and leisure time. Taking the “now”, present and concrete, versus the “global”, undefined and anonymous. It means taking humans’ essential values, the simplicity of living. It stands for a less coercive work environment, more happy, lighter and more productive work place where humans enjoy doing what they know best how to do.
It’s time to stop and think on how companies need to develop serious quality with no-rush that will increase productivity and the quality of products and services, without losing the essence.
In the movie, ‘Scent of a Woman’, there’s a scene where Al Pacino asks a girl to dance and she replies, “I can’t, my boyfriend will be here any minute now”. To which Al Pacino responds, “A life is lived in an instant”. Then they dance the tango!
Many of us live our lives running behind time, but we only reach it when we die of a heart attack or in a car accident rushing to be on time. Others are so anxious to live for the future that they forget to live the present, which is the only time that truly exists.
We all have equal time throughout the world. No one has more or less. The difference lies in how each one of us does with our time.
We need to live each moment.
As John Lennon said, “Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans”

बारिश पड़े तो भागिए नहीं..
छत नहीं खोजिये..
छाते कभी-कभार बंद रखिये..
किस बात का डर है..?
भीग जायेंगे..?
तो क्या हुआ..
पिघलेंगे नहीं..
फिर से सूख जायेंगे..
आपकी 799 वाली टी-शर्ट भी सूख जायेगी..
ब्रांड उसका Levis से Lebis नहीं होगा..
मोबाइल पन्नी में कस के रख लीजिये..
सड़क साफ़ है..
कोई नहीं आएगा..
उस स्ट्रीट लैम्प की पीली रौशनी में डिस्को करती बूंदों को देखिये..
थोड़ा धीरे चलिए..
जल्दी पहुंच के भी क्या बदल जाना है..
बारिश बदलाव है..
मौसम का..
मन का..
कल्पनाओं का..
और लाइफ के गियर का
दिमाग से दिल की तरफ..
सब धुल रहा है..
प्रकृति सब कुछ धो रही है..
आप क्यूँ उसी मनहूसियत की चीकट लपेटे घूम रहे हैं..
कागज़ की नाव,
कोचिंग में भीगे सिर आई वो लड़की,
बारिश में जबरदस्ती नाचने को खींच के ले गये दोस्त..
सब चलते-चलते याद कीजिये..
दुहराना आसान नहीं होता..
दुहराना चाहिए भी नहीं..
लेकिन सहेजा जा सकता है..
ताकि ऐसी किसी बारिश में चलते-चलते सोच के मुस्कुराया जा सके..
ज़ुकाम से मत डरिये..
दवा से सही हो जायेंगे..
बारिश से डरेंगे तो फिर ……
आपका महंगा वाला शावर भी ठीक नहीं कर पायेगा..
और वैसे भी..
मैंने शावर में सिर्फ लोगों को रोते सुना है..
मुस्कुराते नहीं..
बारिश आई है..
थोड़ा चल लीजिये..
खुद से मिल लीजिये..
मुस्कुरा लीजिये..

Ranchi Railways Broke Its Own Record by Constructing an Underpass in Just 2.4 Hours.About 100 workers, three cranes, four JCB machines, three polken, and four tractors were used to construct this underpass. Indian railways had to pay about Rs 1.10 crore for its construction..The construction started at 8.50 am on Sunday and ended at 11.30 am the same day. While the work was on, only Tapaswini Express was rescheduled by one hour…The engineers were given a deadline of 4 hours to complete the task. With great Team work, the job was done way ahead of the given deadline.
Meet Hampus(25) and Johan(26) two business graduates whose love and passion for Bollywood inspired them to travel to Mumbai from Sweden, and build a career here.While most of their friends searched for job opportunities in banks and insurance companies, the two decided to travel to India to pursue a dream that most people didn’t really understand.The dream was to act in Bollywood movies in India.And hell yeah, they did!!..Some of their movies are Deet Patangey & Banjo.
[ ♥Stress Management ♥ ]
The first step to combating stress is to identify what is causing it. This sounds a lot easier than it is, causes of stress in your life can be easily overlooked or denied. Something that could be stressing you out could all in all be some one or something you hold dear and you deny the fact because you do not wish to risk the relationship or said object because you hold it so dear. Other reasons could be stress inducing thoughts, or habits and you can not pull yourself together to confront yourself and break these habits.Ways to find stress inducing objects is when ever asked about them you merely shrug them off and say it is temporary.
The excuse “I have hundreds of things going on right now.” Is a prime example especially when you ALWAYS have a 100 things going on. Moving on from that is when you relate stress to everyday life you say that “things are always like this…” this is a stress inducing habit and you are just treating it as it is normal. And the last one is when you blame stress upon other people and events, in the end it is your responsibility to combat stress not some one else’s.
