‘If you want to lead an extraordinary life, find out what the ordinary do – and don’t do it’
Tommy Newberry
All of us want to grow and prosper in life and improve the quality of our life. Many people think that by merely working very hard on their job they will grow in their career.
But smart people understand that they have three portfolios to manage: working, relaxing and enhancing.
We have to work and we have to relax so that we can work again. Our supervisors will ensure that we work and our body will seek
and get relaxation. 
But we ignore the portfolio of self enhancement which means enriching our knowledge and skill base; enriching our experience on new and rare areas and technology; graduating from working to managing and leading; shifting our focus from working to getting work done by others.
Out of twenty four hours, we should work for eight hours, rest for eight hours and from the balance eight hours left, invest some time for self enhancement. Or, from the 168 hours per week, we should spend at least fourteen to fifteen hours for self enhancement. Every year we should attend some training programme for 12 days.
You may say that you have no time. But, without self enhancement, there will be no growth!
So, find time!
