ज़िंदगी का स्क्रिप्ट: अपने आप को कैसे री-राइट करें ज़िंदगी एक कहानी है, और आप इसके लेखक। Nature से प्रेरणा लें, self-worth को अपनाएँ, और छोटे कदमों से अपने inner script को बदलें। Boundaries सेट करें, emotions को आवाज़ दें, और अपनी journey को transform करें। आज से शुरू करें, अपनी कहानी को नया रंग दें! Introduction: एक नई शुरुआत नमस्ते दोस्तों! क्या आपने कभी सोचा कि हमारी ज़िंदगी एक कहानी की तरह है? और इस कहानी का स्क्रिप्ट हम खुद लिखते हैं! लेकिन कई बार, हमारा self-neglect और पुराने patterns हमें आगे बढ़ने से रोकते हैं। आज मैं, डॉ. ज्ञानेंद्र प्रताप सिंह, आपके साथ एक ऐसी बातचीत करने जा रहा हूँ जो आपकी ज़िंदगी का स्क्रिप्ट बदल सकती है। चलिए, nature से प्रेरणा लेते हैं और देखते हैं कैसे हम अपने आप को reinvent कर सकते हैं। 1. "मैं महत्वपूर्ण हूँ" - Self-Worth को अपनाएँ सबसे पहले, अपने दिल से ये कहें: "मैं मायने रखता हूँ।" जैसे एक पेड़ अपनी जड़ों से मज़बूती पाता है, वैसे ही हमें अपनी self-worth से ताकत मिलती है। एक छोटा सा exercise करें: हर सुबह आईने में देखकर खुद से कहे...

Start with Action: How Physical Creation Fuels Copywriting Success

Start with Action: How Physical Creation Fuels Copywriting Success Ever stared at a blank page, trying to write the perfect ad copy, only to spiral into self-doubt? You’re not alone. For many beginners (and even pros), copywriting feels like a mental obstacle course. We’re taught to plan first—understand the audience, define the brand voice, build a bulletproof strategy. But what if that’s backwards? What if the best copy starts with doing, not thinking? In this post, we’re flipping traditional advice. Instead of mental creation before physical creation, we start with physical creation. Instead of “roots before shoots,” we begin with shoots. Why? Because taking action—even imperfectly—can kickstart creativity, build momentum, and lead to better results faster. Let’s explore how this reversed approach works, how it’s supported by research, and how you can use a simple quadrant model to apply it in your writing. Why Start with Physical Creation? Most copywriting guides tell you to resear...

It Will Cost Nothing For YOU To Grow Like a Tree: Your Inner Work Fuels Outer Success

O It Will Cost Nothing To Grow Like a Tree: Your Inner Work Fuels Outer Success – By Dr. Gyanendra Pratap Singhy डॉ. ज्ञानेन्द्र प्रताप सिंह Ph.D. (Psychology), IIM Ahmedabad विशेषज्ञता: मानव संसाधन (HR), मनोविज्ञान, प्रशिक्षण, शोध और मानसिक स्वास्थ्य-संबंधी लेखन 🌱 Introduction: What Plants Teach Us About Growth हम जब पौधों की growth को observe करते हैं, तो एक गहरा psychological संदेश सामने आता है। एक बीज पहले अपने roots को मिट्टी में फैलाता है — मजबूती से, चुपचाप — और तभी उसका shoot ऊपर उठता है। इंसानों में भी यही principle लागू होता है। हमारी visible success हमारी inner depth पर टिकी होती है। 🌿 Shoot-Root Metaphor: Inner vs. Outer Self Shoot दर्शाता है हमारे external actions, personality और performance को। वहीं Root दर्शाता है हमारी emotional beliefs, values और subconscious programming को। सिर्फ shoot को polish करने से हम ज्यादा दूर नहीं जा सकते; असली बदलाव तब आता है जब हम अपनी inner roots पर काम करते हैं। 🌧 Psychological Blocks: What’s Holding Us Back? हमारे अंदर कई psychological...

Root-Shoot Dynamics of Nature for Human Growth

Root-Shoot Dynamics of Nature for Human Growth Dr Gyanandra Pratap Singh  HR, psychology, Content writer  Let’s Just Start With Nature… Hey there, Ever paused and thought—what does a plant really teach us? Well, this blog is kinda about that. Not sciencey, not preachy—just a gentle nudge to remind you (and me) that we’re not separate from nature, we are nature. But in our mad rush for growth, goals, gadgets, and industries, we've somewhere dropped the connection. Especially with the way plants grow—with roots and shoots doing their beautiful dance. So imagine this: the roots are quietly working underground, soaking up water, holding things steady. And above, the shoots are basking in the sun, reaching higher, greener, louder. Roots are the silent strength, and shoots are the visible success. Now, don’t you think that’s exactly how we grow too? 🌿 Covey’s Wisdom Fits Right In Now, here’s where Stephen Covey (yeah, the 7 Habits guy) comes in with a gem of a thought. He says—ev...

My Story of Fixing HR in Oman

My Story of Fixing HR in Oman By Dr. Gyanendra Pratap Singh 💼 When I joined an Omani company in 2009, HR was virtually nonexistent—no systems, no structure, and no accountability. Many might have felt defeated. But I saw an opportunity. Over three years, we: ✅ Activated real attendance tracking ✅ Overhauled contract and recruitment systems ✅ Built HR functions from scratch ✅ Linked performance to rewards ✅ Raised company performance by 43% This wasn’t theory. It was hands-on transformation—done with people, persistence, and purpose. 📝 I've shared my full story here: 👉 [Insert Link to Blog or Article] Let me know your thoughts—or share your own HR transformation journey. #HRTransformation #Leadership #ChangeManagement #OmanExperience #HRSystems #PeopleFirst #DrGyanendraSingh #OrganizationalDevelopment #LinkedInBlog #HRLeadership #ResilienceAtWork When I landed in Oman in August 2009, I carried with me decades of experience in HR, a suitcase of professional values, and a deep...

What If HR Isn’t Just About Managing People… But Truly Understanding Them?

OWhat If HR Isn’t Just About Managing People… But Truly Understanding Them? Here’s a thought I’ve been sitting with— As we step into 2025, HR is evolving fast. But maybe it’s not just about technology or trends. Maybe it’s about tuning into something far more human. 💡 What if HR was less about policies and more about purpose? Less about structure and more about sentiment? After 40+ years in psychology, HR systems, and leadership development, I see something powerful unfolding— HR is no longer a back-office function. It’s becoming the soul of the workplace. HR Sifts In 2025 Later… Let me walk you through the 5 biggest shifts we’re witnessing this year—and what they’re really teaching us about people and potential: 🔹 AI in HR → Not a replacement, but a sharp partner 🔹 Skills-first hiring → Real capability > fancy degrees 🔹 Remote work → More flexibility, but deeper need for connection 🔹 DE&I → From checklists to culture shifts 🔹 Employee well-being → From burnout to b...
