In Love with Riding

While I was driving to the Authorized Service Center of my vehicle, I knew there was something in the engine that’s not smooth. I have never studied an engine, but still that was like an expert opinion rolling in my mind. Little did I know about that how small parts of the whole device, together make the ride smooth! But of course I knew nothing was severely damaged or ruptured. After all I was driving the vehicle for the last 1000kms with this same feeling.

The enlightenment happened when I drove the same vehicle back home. I am sure you all would agree to the fun of riding a freshly serviced vehicle. The sound of the engine, the clutch, gear, lights, brakes, etc., were all so nice to handle. Even the polished parts were a treat to the eyes.

I was wondering if the Mechanic found and replaced any damaged body part. But nothing was mentioned in the bill. Then what had he done to my vehicle? Just opened all the spares and parts, cleaned it and put it back with some lubricants? That’s it? And to my astonishment – YES! That was what he did.

I know we would tend to conclude as to why we have to pay the service center so high when they didn’t add anything to my vehicle! And for the next time why not a road side garage? Or even better, why not just do this myself on a Sunday afternoon. It would be fun.

Compare the same with your life problems -Problem related to your work. We know something is not running smooth within your team or your family. We generally think that the fault lies with others.  We think it might just be the Leader (read engine). Who knows if it’s about collaboration of each and every one of the team (read body parts).

Here comes the importance of Training. What would a trainer do? Replace someone in the team? Give you a perfect solution to THE PROBLEM? The answer is NO! The solution to better performance lies within the Team. What he does is - rips apart all the problems that are stuck, cleans up our mind, and puts in those important positive thoughts & process that will eventually solve the problem when you utilize it in your work.

So, do choose the Trainer judiciously. A roadside mechanic might be cheap, but may leave your vehicle with a permanent damage!
