Four fundamental elements of improving your overall competencies and therefore, your capabilities and effectiveness[1] at any given point of time are:
· Values
· Knowledge base
· Paradigms
· Willpower
More quality and quantity of these elements within you make you more effective.
These elements are acquired by the human beings from the environment from any of its entities and these can be acquired at any age. Even if you missed out on acquiring them early on, you can catch up with them later in life.
Everyone is free to acquire them and anyone can acquire them. There is no restriction of any sort on any human being.
These four elements finally culminate into making a human being more skilled and more competent. Human beings develop and improve continuously their skills and competencies based on these four elements. Then they use these skills and competencies to perform all kinds of tasks and activities required to achieve the goals set by them for their personal, family, professional and social lives.
The more skilled and competent the human beings become by the acquisition of the four elements, the more effectively they are able to perform the tasks and activities and to achieve the resultant goals or objectives. They feel confident of meeting any kind of challenges in life. They feel that they have the required capabilities to tackle the demands put on them and therefore, stresses and strains do not get created.
So how do we make this model work for you? We give below certain doable recommendations:
1. Set your short term, medium term, long germ and life time goals for your personal, family, professional and social life. The guidelines given below in serial number 2 through 30 are to help you acquire the right kind of overall competencies to make you effective to accomplish your chosen goals.
2. Sharpen your desire to learn the right kind of values, knowledge and paradigms. Become a strong willed person.
3. Learn about the various basic human values. These are not too many.
4. Correct those values that you might have already formed but now you realize that they need review and correction.
5. Formulate your own value structure that will guide you throughout your life. These values will normally not change under ordinary conditions. They are more permanent (as compared to the paradigms).
6. Then always be guided by your values or principles.
7. Do not waver from your values under the trying circumstances. You may face many dilemma situations in your life.
8. There are principled paths guided by values and there are unprincipled paths without any value structure. Both run parallel to each other and never meet. Both may give success. But the principled path will always give you more overall effectiveness in your life. Unprincipled path may even destroy you completely.
9. Knowledge is unending. It is enormous. Try to acquire as much knowledge as you can. It is extremely difficult to acquire all the knowledge.
10. Therefore, start with the knowledge that is required for achieving the goals or objectives of your personal, family, professional and social life.
11. You will need to acquire three types of knowledge: rational knowledge, emotional knowledge and spiritual knowledge pertaining to all the four spheres of your life- personal, family, professional and social life.
12. New knowledge will emerge continually. No one can stop it. Your existing knowledge may become incorrect and obsolete over a period of time. So, keep acquiring new knowledge.
13. Always look out for the most authentic sources of knowledge. Acquire knowledge only from the authentic sources or otherwise you are in a danger of assimilating incorrect or erroneous knowledge and related information.
14. Knowledge backed up and validated correctly by the relevant facts and figures, supported by experiments and real life results is likely to be more authentic. Other pieces of knowledge may be mere hearsay.
15. Read a lot. Read every day. Read authentic literature. Do not waste your time reading inferior or erroneous literature.
16. Attend courses, seminars and workshops to listen to the real experts to enhance your knowledge.
17. Acquire knowledge to help you enhance and sharpen your “willpower to do” or “willpower to perform”.
18. Often revise those concepts and their related details that are very important in life and may be difficult to understand and assimilate.
19. Teach others what you learnt. Your learning will become more effective. You will get more clarity on the subject when you start teaching.
20. Always be on lookout for the implementation aspects of what you are learning so that you can implement the knowledge properly.
21. Paradigms or your day-to-day thinking patterns guide you to take particular directions and steps towards accomplishing your various tasks and activities that ultimately steer you towards your goals or objectives. There are hundreds of them in your mind. Therefore these should be absolutely correct and up-to-date.
22. You should derive your paradigms essentially from your values, knowledge base and related information base. Keep checking frequently to ensure that these three remain in consonance with each other.
23. Since a repository or directory of all the latest paradigms is not available or published anywhere, keep your eyes and ears open to sense the new and emerging paradigms in all the spheres of life. Grasp them and internalize them.
24. Keep introspecting the appropriateness or correctness of your paradigms on an on-going basis. Frequently correct your wrong paradigms or mindsets.
25. Develop flexibility for accepting the correct paradigms even if they are quite in divergence with your existing mindsets.
26. Develop those paradigms that will help you to sharpen your “willpower to do” or “willpower to perform”.
27. Decide on the skills and competencies that will be required by you to effectively tackle the tasks and activities that will lead you to your goals and objectives.
28. Use your values, knowledge and paradigms to learn, develop and master those skills and competencies. Practice them lots to achieve the highest level of expertise in them.
29. Implement those skills and competencies to carry out your tasks and activities.
30. Keep moving towards achieving your goals or objectives by applying your values, knowledge, paradigms, willpower to do and skills/competencies.
