Zeal and Zest is way to Zenith
“Experience shows that success is due less to ability than to zeal.”– Charles Buxton
It requires great # enthusiasm, extra # energy and professional
ability to sustain ups and downs in your career and keep going upward. As a
leader/manager your subordinates look towards you to get the # inspiration when
going gets tough in any project or business process. A successful manager or
leader demonstrates his/her # will-power and # commitment to achieve good
results, despite difficulties. Some salient points which can help to achieve
success are given below:
·
Zap. “Slow and
Steady Wins the Race” is a good old saying. In today’s highly # competitive and
fast-moving global business environment, you need to be steady but also have
short spells where you can zap to catch up with any backlog or move ahead of
others.
·
Zeal. #
Commitment to the customers and meeting deadlines requires consistency in # performance.
You should always inspire your team with personal example by working with
missionary # zeal.
“Zeal without knowledge is fire without light.”,– Thomas Fuller
·
Zealous. A zealous pursuit for a new beginning
will make your sincere efforts a grand # success.
One must not be jealous of others # achievements. Instead, you should be
zealous to put in extra energy and achieve the impossible.
·
Zenith. It
will take quite a time before you reach the top (zenith) of your career but surely you can co-work
alongside your seniors who are inspiring towards top positions. You should remain self-assured and # motivated
to fulfil your dreams and soon you will reach the # zenith.
·
Zero. The word or figure Zero
has very special significance in the decimal number system where when zero is placed
on the right side of a digit (1 to 9), it enhances the value of the number. It also
plays a significant role in Binary systems (1s and 0s). Zero has a lot to
contribute in # Crypto-currency transactions. Likewise, everyone has
potential and should be # judiciously placed at the right position in the
organisation/ team.
·
Zero in. Remember while aiming at the target, the shooter always
zero-in first and then presses the trigger. This way he/she hits the bull’s
eye. Therefore while handing ant project/mission, we should zero in our target
(# objective) and then put in our very best effort to get higher # productivity
and customer’s delight.
·
Zest. A normal flow of
work continues in any organisation but to do something extra-ordinary, you need
to work with # zest and commitment.
·
Zigzag. Avoid a zigzag
path and evolve a simple and assured plan to reach your objective in time- by
staying on your chosen track. Our life is a long journey with many obstacles
where one needs to take a detour.
·
Zoo. A zoo has various animals, birds and sea animals for the entertainment
of children. Some of the animals are imported from other countries. These
animals are kept in free space but protected place ensuring that visitors are
safe and not harmed by any animal. Likewise, visitors should not disturb/ annoy
the animals. When convenient, it is good
to visit a zoo with family members. Children get knowledge about various
animals and birds and also have a nice outing.
·
Zoological Gardens. Well maintained # zoological gardens are a great
attraction for young children. Some larger zoological Gardens have well-organised
safaris to give the visitors an exhilarating
experience. Do visit zoological gardens
during holidays.

position of various planets,

Zone of Comfort. Some
people are contented to work in their comfort zone and do not want to take any
risk or volunteer for any challenging job. This is where you come in and create
a new zone of activities, happiness and success.
·
Zone Time. It
relates to # time-zone or space-zone or
geographical – zone of the country of your working and business dealing. With
easy and fast access to Internet facilities, time-zone and geographical
boundaries have disappeared. Infect, for e-commerce applications, time-zone differential
has come as a boon. You and your team can work on a 24x7 basis and have a global
reach.

not easy to read. Most text editors

clearly. During pandemic Corona,
