"Being well' comes before 'well being' - Nishan Karki

“He who has health has hope and he who has hope has everything.”      – Arabian Proverb

Being well indeed comes before our well-being. Being well means being healthy and happy. Health is definitely wealth, which we all have to look towards. Being healthy means not only the absence of disease or sickness, but also how peaceful you are from within, mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and, of course, physically.

 

Maintaining a fit body, eating right, and going to the gym are not the only things that people must work towards to achieve a healthy lifestyle. A healthy lifestyle is one in which there is a balance between everything we do. The components of a healthy lifestyle include eating right, sleeping enough, keeping ourselves clean, meditating, thinking right, exercising, listening to good music, talking right, performing and engaging in healthy activities, exhibiting good manners and behavior, having a healthy circle of friends, family, and society, and a lot more.

  

Our "well-being" can be decided and promoted effectively if we are healthy, well, and sound-minded. Health greatly affects people's daily lives. If we are healthy, we will be able to carry out and discharge our duties, work, and responsibilities effectively. If we are not healthy or are suffering from illness and other problems, we will not be able to carry out and discharge our duties and responsibilities effectively and efficiently.

 

Somebody has rightly said, "A healthy mind lives in a healthy body."This saying is indeed very true. Our mind works effectively and efficiently when we are healthy, and vice versa.

 

Our health determines our relationship with others, our performance in any case, our efficiency, our effectiveness, our daily lives, etc. Being healthy or well is an important step on the road to achieving well-being for ourselves, our family, our friends, and eventually society. If people are healthy and sound-minded,  society will become peaceful.

Thus, by drawing up all the points, people should do the following things to be healthy:

■ Exercising, going to the gym, etc.

■ Eating healthy, nutritional, and right food.

■ Meditating.

■ saying, listening, and communicating the right things.

■ Keeping yourself aware of the problems you are facing and solving them at the right time.

■ Taking good care of your mental and physical health.

■ Engaging in right and healthy activities.

And so on...

3 R's of Leadership - Nishan Karki

"A good leader takes little more than his share of the blame, 

a little less than his share of the credit."

-Arnold H. Glasow

Leaders often practice the three R's:- 

● Respect for self 

● Respect for other 

● Responsibility for their actions

To be a true leader, one should have self-respect, respect others, and be responsible for all his actions. 

A leader is a courageous and supportive person who supports and encourages people. A true leader supports his team and helps them to exceed their potential. 

Some leaders may act as bosses and only give commands and would not support, encourage or help their teams. But a true leader works as part of the team, influences, supports, inspires and encourages the team.

Now, let us talk about the three R's:-

● Respect for all: First of all, self-respect means a feeling of confidence and pride in yourself. Leaders have and need to keep their self-respect. Respecting themselves helps them view their actions and know their abilities, capabilities, and potential. Knowing themselves assists them to do their work efficiently, effectively and conveniently.

● Respect for others: Leaders - not only respect themselves but also other people. Leaders must respect all of their team members so that they all will coordinate and cooperate with them. It helps develop trust and makes a good relationship between the leader and the team. The team will have a positive attitude towards him. Thus, the team will also support, cooperate and coordinate with the leader. 

● Responsibility for their actions: Leaders take responsibility for their actions. Taking responsibility will help the leader to improve his leadership. He will be able to do his work more conveniently and will solve problems with ease. Thus, taking responsibility for all their actions is a critical task for the leader. 

At last, I would like to conclude my view with a quote.

"Leaders aren’t born they are made. And they are made just like anything else, through hard work. And that’s the price we’ll have to pay to achieve that goal or any goal."
