Expectations Kills the Joys of Life

Expectations in any form from others are biggest cause of unhappiness without others knowing it. We create a personality and situation of others which suits us or which makes us happy. Having expectations is not a bad thing but when it falls short it becomes negative and makes one judgemental, critic and much more depending upon the nature of expectations and creates a mess out of it and sew own web of negativity out of unmet expectations of close relationships. The best way forward is to have expectations from others but when it is unmet don't punish yourself it is not your fault.

It was a pure joy, fun on wheel on a 15-year-old Zen Estilo from Dwarka, Delhi to Patna on 5th Feb 2023. My beauty and most trusted car Zen Estilo turned 15 on 6th Feb 2023.

Change Management for Hospital Information Management System (HIMS) The world hates change, yet it is the only thing that has brought progress. Charles Kettering Health transformation through digital means is not about technology but about people, changing the mindset and embracing the change. In this context it is most important for any digitally enabled health transformation project to ensure that the change through HIMS implementation is sustainable across all user groups. Core users, such as doctors and nurses, need to understand why the change is happening, how it can benefit them individually, and how it will impact their day-to-day activities. Additionally, it is important to communicate how integrated HIMS will make their work easier. Clear communication and training can help ensure a successful implementation and adoption of the new system. The ADKAR model for change management is a widely used framework for managing change and can be effective in digital transform...

The travel industry has also embraced digital innovation, with most flight and train ticket bookings being done online. Other sectors have also experienced success with digital adoption, but the healthcare sector has been slower to adopt digital technologies due to various challenges and contradictions. While there have been some instances of vertical automation in the healthcare sector since 2010, it lacks a comprehensive digital ecosystem. How...

How to gain and build Digital Trust is particularly important for the success of any Health IT solutions?

How to gain and build Digital Trust is particularly important for the success of any Health IT solutions? For the success of any digitally enabled health service improvement program the most significant aspect is to gain trust of all stakeholders. The success of the program will be in question if there is lack of commitment of involved stakeholders, it will reduce its outcome and defeat the very purpose of its implementation. There is ample evidence which suggests that digitization in any field or domain has improved quality of living and saved time in completing day to day tasks of common citizens across the country. It has become part of life. However, it has also instilled fear among citizens due to lack of security, safety and reducing trust in digital applications.
