Spend 1% time to get 100% returns

You, me and them (ooops.... they!) live in the global village. It is so global that we have not met personally many friends/loved ones in last one year or even five years, even though they are in the radius of 30 km from us. However, the current world is the village also, so we have met them on facebook, smart phone, email, SMS etc.  What a paradox? Why is it so? The root causes are ‘shortage of time’, ‘modernization’, ‘competitive arena’ and few other ditto reasons. 

“Who has the time for society, nation, NGO, institutions or association bodies?”

“No. No. I want to do, but you know time is the problem.”

“I am thinking to do something for school children for last 3 years, but not getting time.”

“I want to be a member of ABC management association, but you know my work pressure...”

Similar quotes may have stuck to your ears repetitively. So repetitively that they can create echo easily. We have a strong inner desire to return something to the society. We have expertise and idea also. But, the bottleneck is time, resulting into postponement. In Sunny Deol style, we donate ‘tarikh pe tarikh’ to those noble and good initiatives.

Now be happy ! I have some good analysis for you. Can you spend just one percent of time for those initiatives, drives or movements. Yes, one percent to get 100% satisfaction. Koutons, Cantabil, John Hill, D’Cot, TQS, Liverpool and many others offer highly lucrative proposals like “buy 2, get 7 free”. Similarly, here marketing line is ‘Spend 1%,  get 100%’. Unbelievable, but true.

We have much better control on time starting from 6 AM in the morning to 9 PM in the night. That means, we are actually awake for those 15 hours in a day. We do our routine, business, study, travel, take meals, play, watch TV, chit-chat, spend time with family and so on. So, weekly it makes 105 hours. Now, discount 5 hours for contingency and unplanned activities. So, we have 100 hours in a week. Now can we steal 1 hour from this 100 hours for doing something for society. We can do something in this one hour in a week, which will give satisfaction and joy of giving. It is very simple. Believe me, if even 33% of Indians start doing it, then India would be a different state in just 6 months. 

Now, the question arise what we can do for society? You may get associated with a society, temple, church, mosque, association, NGO, chapter, circle, trust, municipal corporation, panchayat, svadhyay, party, etc. formally or informally. The core objective is you should spend one hour for the society, nation or for needy people or for our system. Now, we need to choose how we want to do it? What we are good at? What suits  us? 

Then start doing. Discover yourself, the world is waiting.
