Annoying People

How to react to some of the most annoying people you will encounter. You should consider yourself lucky if that is just a single encounter. What if you have to deal with such person on a daily basis? What will you do??

1. Ignore them
2. Confront them on a one to one basis.
3. Report to their seniors

Some time I feel the whole purpose of their existence is to annoy people.
They might be well below your rank in the organization but they mastered the skill of annoying people at work.

Is it worth affecting your work if you knew that they will definitely respond in a certain way??Talking about them with other colleagues some times just make the matter worse.

Are such people really worth your thoughts, your anger??

Work in general

Recently I have realised one thing.
It was a thought which just came across my mind.
What Pisses off other person??
Wealth -- might be..
Beautiful Girlfriend -- hhumm.. might be..

What pisses them off most???

Its the other person ability to enjoy's ones work..
There is nothing more than that.
If one enthusiastically and energitically talks about his work, try seeing the face of other person.

And believe me that there are very few in the first category and a huge rush in the second one..

Colleges -- A dilemma

Most people have a habit to compare themselves with the people with whom they have studied in the latest college. My school friends who didn’t leave the city still compare themselves with other school friends. My college mates have changed their bench marks to other college mates. I was talking to one my friend who has studied in IIM A. For him the bench mark as changed. He compares himself with his other IIMA batch mates.
Now, if that is the case what happens if one joins the best college and other joins some less recognized colleges. Benchmarks in both these cases would be different. Person who had join less recognized college may perform better than his peers because he had the potential to join the better college. Since he is performing better, his self confidence increases. He is more positive towards the outlook of the life.
Now, consider a person who has just managed to enter the best college. Even if he performing better, better than what he could have performed if he was in an average college, he is still an average student in the best college. Now, what happens to his self confidence. There are fairly good chances that he starts doubting himself, his capabilities.
And what I have learnt from my experiences in the job is that what matters is your self confidence which gets reflected in your communication. And thus, the person from not so good college might perform better that the person from best college.
So, I guess when you get a good college be happy that you have made it and if you don’t get a good college, perform better and eventually you will be happy.
