Seven Things That Motivate Employees More Than Money

1. Stay Big-hearted with Praise

People deliberately expect from employers and it’s one of the easiest things to give.  Praise every improvement that you see your team members make. Once you’re comfortable delivering praise one-on-one to an employee, try praising them in front of others.

2. Allow people think for new ideas

People do not like new ideas or plans which are just instructed without any discussions with them. Instead of telling to people, better you can ask people to come up with ideas.

3. Never criticize others

No one wants to hear that they did something wrong.  Try an indirect approach to get people to improve, let them learn from their mistakes.

4. Give leadership responsibility to everyone

Highlight your top performers’ strengths and let them know that because of their excellence, you want them to be the example for others.


5. Weekly once lunch with Top performer

Surprise them. Don’t make an announcement that you are going to invite for a lunch.  It’s an easy way to remind them that you notice and appreciate their work.

6. Give company parties

You can provide company outing, company lunch and parties to encourage people and let them feel happy & comfortable working with you.  Don’t just wait until the holidays to do a company activity; organize events throughout the year to remind your staff is important for you.

7. Share success and failure

When your company does well, celebrate. This is the best time to let everyone know that you’re thankful for their hard work and success.  If there are disappointments, share those too. Always stay honest and transparent, share where the company stands and the company’s expectation from employees.

Nokku Varmam - A Powerful Martial Art:

Nokku Varmam - We heard this word somewhere but not sure rite?  Yes, it is a ‘Martial Art with Power of Eyes’.  Few months ago, Tamil film named ‘7 am Arivu’ was released.  It is a wonderful movie expressed hidden truth about Bodidharman and his talents on Medicine, Self defense (Kung fu fight), Martial Arts etc.   In that film anti-hero China man (Dong Lee), he controlled opponents with his eye power and made others to do things according to his wish.  While seeing this scene in '7am Arivu' movie people cannot accept and started commenting on it.  I too thought it is not possible and added as Cine Masala only for commercial purpose (money motive).



                                                                 
                                                                   'Bodidharma'
 


                       
                                                            '7 am Arivu Movie'

But after watching ‘Nampinal Nambungal’ last week episode in ZeeTamizh TV at 10pm.  I was amazed, scene which I felt not possible in movie is shown as live. performance . Yes, now I too agree we can control other person with our eye power.  It is one type of martial art used in crucial situations, if practiced well we can also do it perfectly. 




                                                                 'Kalaripayattu'


Few good Asaans are still alive they are teaching people on martial arts.  But Nokku Varmam is not taught to all and also it is not that much easily to learn.  The basic requirement for learning varmam art is 1) Should be discipline, 2) Patient and c) hard practices.  




NB: Above video captured from Zee Tamizh TV using mobile camera.  So Its clarity may be low.

Asaan will not teach this art immediately to all practitioners because people may misuse this art and it will create severe problems to public.  After closely monitoring practitioner's behavior they will decide whether to teach them or not. Asaan also stated that practitioners should intake few herb juices which support to achieve ‘Nokku Varmam’.   

Asaan Mr. Rajendran showed live 'Nokku Varmam' performance over 4 people in front of  Zee Tamizh production unit(one among them from Zee Tamizh TV staff came for interviewing the show).  Asaan made four persons fell down by his Nokku Varmam without touching them from long distance.  It was unbelievable but true. After this Asaan reached the spot gave first aid to deceased people and rescue them.  He stated that we have 10 sensitive points in our body, if we hit on those spots it may lead opponent to death.

Research says, origin of this traditional martial art from Tamil Nadu which was first introduced and taught by Sidthar Agastheeyar Mamuni.  It was practiced well by people who lived centuries ago when we were under king's rule.  People living in Kerala may think origin of Varma Kalai is from their place but that is not true.  Saddest news is Varmam Kalai's origin is from Tamil Nadu but now it is not familiar here but the same is  very popular in Kerala and China.  Nowadays its fame is getting lost because of technologies available in modern world and youngsters not showing interest towards it. We are losing our ancient arts one by one.  Atleast one person from a family should learn this art and teach this to future generation otherwise soon this art will get destructed.  Mr. Rajendran says every father should encourage their son to learn our ancient martial art.

Special thanks to Zee Tamizh Television for an informative show.
