Once upon a time there was a shepherd looking after his sheep on the sideof a deserted road. Suddenly, a brand new Jeep screeches to a halt next tohim. The driver - a young man dressed in a suit, shoes, sunglasses, - getsout and asks the shepherd, 'If I guess how many sheep you have, will yougive me one of them?'The shepherd looks at the young man, then looks at the grazing sheep andreplies, 'Okay.' The young man parks his car and connects his notebook tothe Internet. He logs in to the NASA website, scans the ground using hisGPS, opens a database and prints out a report on his portable printer. Heturns to the shepherd and says, 'You have 1586 sheep here.' The shepherdanswers, 'That's correct, you may have your sheep.'The young man takes his animal and puts it in the back of his Jeep. Theshepherd looks at the young man and says, 'If I guess your profession, willyou return the animal to me?'
'Yes, why not.''You are a consultant.''That's amazing, how did you know?''Very simple,' answers the shepherd. 'First, you come here without beingcalled. Second, you charge me for something I already knew and third, youdon't understand anything about my business. Now can I have my sheep
back?'

Belongingness comes with
commitment
The quality of a person's life is in direct
proportion to their commitment to excellence,
regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.
There are only two options regarding
commitment. You're either in or out. There's no
such thing as a life in-between.

Commitment
Commitment is generally referred to as an enduring
desire to maintain a relationship
The concept of commitment is similar to the concept
of a long-term orientation that comprises the desire andutility of a buyer to have a long-term relationship with a
seller
Stronger the commitment, the more likely is to
overcome potential obstacles in the employer-employee
relationship, resulting in employee loyalty.

Why I should alone be committed to the
organisation?
Never become discouraged with the seemingsmallness of your task, job, or life. Clingfast to the words of Edward Everett
I am only one,
But still I am one.I cannot do everything,
But still I can do something.And because I cannot do everything
I will not refuse to doThe something that I can do.
The key to accomplishment is believing that
what you can do will make a difference.

.what we need?
Talent between the two? Probably the same.
Level of education? Not much difference.
But the Stranglers strangled, while theWranglers were determined to give each other a
lift.
The Stranglers promoted an atmosphere ofcontention and self doubt. The Wranglers
highlighted the best, not the worst.

Lets have the feeling of togetherness
Togetherness is a feeling. A feeling whichgives happiness, warmth, confidence,
assurance and above all a sense of
belongingness.
Human beings owe their existence and
survival to this very feeling. Right from the
womb of his mother, a child is deeply and
strongly associated with this feeling of
togetherness. After his birth, he finds
peace and strength in the presence of his
mother, father, grand parents, siblings,relatives and friends. This togetherness
is to be realised even in our world of
work, in the organisation in which we
are working for.
