True Lies

Lie for the sake of lie. Lying frequently is a habit that could ruin the life of others as well as yours. If there is an issue, it should be openly communicated and if lied upon, could translate into a bigger issue. If true picture of the problem is known, a way could be found out to solve it. But if, the problem itself is not clear, then it becomes difficult to find a solution and it is quite possible that you could end up finding a solution that could be irrelevant.

Some people become so used to lying that they are not even aware that they are lying. It becomes their inherent habit and in the process they keep creating problems over problems. Though in Bhagvad-gita, lying has found support from Lord Krishna. He proclaims, "Lie spoken for the benefit of mankind is not a lie and is equivalent to 100 truths". Liars always stick to those lines to justify, when caught. This way they invite more problems.

What we can conclude from here is "Lying makes a man imperfect". Though truth is bitter, you should have the courage to face it. Running away from reality won't solve the problem, but would inflate it unnecessarily. Face it to solve it and get rid of it as soon as possible.

"Use" or "Utilisation"

I have often seen the word "use" being frequently used by managers in the corporate world. E.g. "We can use Mr. X for support and use Mr. Y for coding". I am against using such words, which amounts to the insult of the person in whose context it is being used. The correct word, which sounds better, is "Utilisation". After all, organisations utilises your skills for performing certain tasks or activities that you might be expert in.

The word "Utilisation" shows respect for that person's skill set. It also makes you feel that you will be paid or rewarded as per your skill sets whereas word "Use" makes you feel exploited. It makes you feel that they just want your skills without paying you appropriately.

The word "Utilisation" expresses two-way give and take relationship, while "Use” specifies only one way flow - from employee to employer. Though, employee anyway continues doing the work, that he is assigned, the use of words shows up it's difference in his quality of work.

Different words send different vibrations among employees, even though managers might not have intended what the receiver interprets. Thus, managers should be extremely careful in this regard as different words with almost same meaning, create different meanings for different people.
