When the Competition Between Employees Become Unethical Behaviour

When the Competition Between Employees Become Unethical Behaviour
By Ahmad Amirali

In any organisation, either education or finance, the employee usually engaged in the sense of competition where they project their skills and competencies to prove that they are eligible for promotions than another employee. However, sometimes this competition turns into a fierce struggle of survival among employees and survival means anything will be permissible to survive the time. Similarly, this trend is also common in the teaching profession as well where teachers engage in aggressive behaviour to reach their higher goals, but sometimes this competition again leads to a survival mode where this struggle ended up in unethical behaviour. The question is what makes employees engage with this survival mode or in unethical conduct? Continue reading “When the Competition Between Employees Become Unethical Behaviour” →

Why Do We Get Mad at People for No Reason?
By Ahmad Amirali

There are instances in our lives when we get so angry that we sometimes forget every single ethic of our lives. As a result of which we ended up in guilt for our entire lives.  Being a teacher, I also experience this behaviour in my students during my sessions. At first, I always blame my lesson plan for being bored or not engaging enough for my students. However, after reading a handful of studies, couple of, or I can more than 10s of, counselling sessions with students and their parents, I concluded that not always teacher’s lesson plan is held responsible for students’ irritating behaviour. The question is, what makes so much turbulence on anyone or with our loved ones that we hurt them so badly because of our attitude? Continue reading “Why Do We Get Mad at People for No Reason?” →

Why do we Fear Rejection? – Reasons and Remedies

Last week, I was out to travel to the northern areas of Pakistan for official reasons. Gilgit Baltistan and Chitral regions are known for their cultural and historical significance. I met many people; most of them were teachers. On my third day of the session, one candidate asked me a question that triggered a series of questions in my mind. He asked, ‘Sir, If I do not fulfil this requirement in my application form, would I be rejected?’ I said, ‘Yes. He replied, ‘Oh! Then I might not apply for that program because I don’t want to be rejected’.  Later that day, I thought about that guy and questioned myself, why do we fear rejection? Rejection, either in relationships or in a career, is equally brutal for almost every person. Students fear failure in exams, teachers fear the failure of their lesson plans, and parents fear their children’s future decisions. We are all scared of being rejected, but what makes us fear such rejections? Continue reading “Why do we Fear Rejection?” →

Have you ever wondered, what thing(s) does people need desperately in their lives? Love, Money, Success and the list goes on. Yes, we are desperate because we are humans and humans have desires and needs for which they work hard to achieve them. To fulfil our desires we, humans, sometimes get hurt and suffer but sometimes we do hurt others to avoid suffering. In short, humans are vulnerable species with sensitivity and emotions.
