Play Golf and Kick the Anger (Part II)

Kicking balls is the best way to beat Anger...... My earlier post I shared the experience of  game at school to hit with a ball and Tennis game to strike the ball. In both cases I was subtly venting my steam and channeling negative energy , thoughts into constructive output. This used to make me feel joyful and energetic. In both cases it supplemented my good health and hence good productivity. Once my friend invited me to Golf Course. It was my first visit and experience to visit a Gold course. Anyone who is a frequent ( each one is after the first visit) will appreciate this facts after you visit a Golf Course or Range. 1.

Kite-Flier

The Amazing Kite-Flier Every 'Makar Shankranti' festival the skies of Mumbai are dotted with kites of various shapes and colours. The sight of a kite flying far away never fails to bring a cheer to my heart. Years ago as a child in Mumbai my passion and obsession was ‘Kite-Flying’ , anytime of the year excepting the monsoons. To be a Kite flier one needs to have a good kite, twine, winding reel, eye-hand coordination and lots of patience. It’s a game of passion and energy. Any kite-flyer will know the importance of the above parameters for success. Of course as a child this came spontaneously. I never realized then that the possession of these few things which were so natural and spontaneous, would be the musings for a few People Management concept.

So you either learn to “Live” with them or decide to “Leave” them. The choice is yours and entirely yours. I feel leaving should be the last action and actually never an option. So let us see “How to Learn to Live”.  Rule #1. ...
