Being human encompasses a broad range of qualities like belonging, community, creativity, curiosity, love, the ability to experience emotions, the ability to be patient and empathetic in conducting the self. It also involves having a sense of purpose, family and the ability to form meaningful relationships with others.
Whoever and whatever one is doing academically, professionally, as an employer or employee, part of a family, rich or poor, there will be times one will grasp concepts, solve problems and make informed decisions. In any of the above situations or condition one can bring one’s best by knowing the BASICS.
Basics are important because they form the foundational knowledge and skills upon which more complex ideas and abilities are built. They provide a solid base for learning, understanding, and applying knowledge in various fields and situations. A strong grasp of the basics enables deeper comprehension, facilitates problem-solving, and enhances confidence in one's abilities
To override or forget basics one then wonders why the specifics don’t work. In olden days when life or work was hard the wise would say take it back to the basics. Basics are those Mool Baten that one needs to master them, practice them well & importantly keep reviewing them. The absence of not reviewing basics often leads to messy conditions.
For most broken relationships, political parties, media houses, sport teams, small and big businesses etc. the failure to adhere to their respective basics keeps them in quite a messy state. Going back to basics for everything in life is not an easy learning and doing for many.
One has to develop the love to keep basic’s close as an essential element, because when understood it always brings a deeper understanding of a particular subject or field.
The way we deliver scrutiny and criticism it would do lot better if basic differences were better known. Scrutiny is a careful and detailed examination of something, often to reveal hidden details or weaknesses. If unfair and harsh criticism is practiced all the time it will always bring negative reactions. With constant face down of the other side of the coin constructive criticism helpful for growth is hampered, missing and undelivered.
Politically a healthy society is one that permitted people’s highest purpose to emerge satisfying people’s basic needs. Having Nation first as the basic, politics & governance both would do better.
Common sense should be common but the basics of it are often never taught and when left to one’s ability that is often compromising. Common sense refers to the practical knowledge and judgment enabling one to live in a reasonable and safe way. It's a basic aspect of human understanding that encompasses a wide range of everyday knowledge and social norms.
For healthy relationships, basic elements like open communication, respect, trust, and empathy are crucial. These foundations, along with shared values and the ability to navigate disagreements constructively are essential for building strong and lasting connections.
Some sales people just happen to perform better as they are ruthless with themselves to perform, knowing the basics that every sale has 5 obstacles: no need, no money, no hurry, no desire & no trust.
In spirituality basics can be synonymous with fundamental, core, or essential concepts, such as belief, faith, devotion, and reverence which helps addressing and knowing the ‘Oneness’ with Divine and you.
Any advanced level is always a mastery of the basics, so as humans the social being we are longing for connection & belonging, ‘hold on to Basics’. Let it be the mantra to bring in better thoughts and actions doing well with self and dealing with others.
