HAPPY WOMEN’S DAY - SELF EMPOWERMENT IS THE BEST EMPOWERMENT

HAPPY WOMEN’S DAY

SELF EMPOWERMENT IS THE BEST EMPOWERMENT

The Story of a Macho Man and his Docile Wife

An Apocryphal Teaching Story
By
VIKRAM KARVE

A newly married Male Chauvinist Macho Man used to bully his simple, young, naïve, frail, meek, docile wife into submission. 

The Macho Man treated his Docile Wife like a slave and made her slog throughout the day.

He made her do all sorts of work and made her life miserable by imposing on her his excessive demands. 

He mercilessly ordered his hapless wife to whatever he wanted her to do and made her to dance to his tune and she meekly submitted to his bidding.

Every morning he used to threaten her:

“You better do what I tell you – or else I will do something you won’t like.”

On hearing these ominous words uttered by her fierce looking husband, the terrified submissive wife used to tremble with fear and meekly obey her ruthless husband and do whatever work her husband ordered her to do.

One day, the frail docile wife was totally overcome with fatigue. She was on the verge of collapse. 

Suddenly her husband shouted at her and started ordering her around, saying: 

“You better do what I tell you – or else I will do something you won’t like.” 

The hapless wife was so exhausted and fed up with her domineering husband that this continuous scolding became too much for her to bear. 

So defiantly, but with tremors of trepidation in her heart, the docile wife asked her macho husband:

“Suppose I don’t do the work you order me to do. Tell me, suppose I refuse to do the work you order me to do, just what will you do that I won’t like...?”

The Male Chauvinist Macho Man looked self-effacingly at his “docile” wife and said:

“If you refuse and you don’t do the work I order you to do ... well, then I will do the work myself ...”

Moral of the Story : SELF EMPOWERMENT IS THE BEST EMPOWERMENT

Wish You a Very Happy Women’s Day

Moral of the Story : Barking Dogs Seldom Bite 

Corollary: So beware of the “Dog” who does not bark (for he or she may bite, or worse, “back bite”)

This story also tell you how to deal with bullying and bullies and those who keep threatening you with “dire consequences”:

If someone tries to bully you or threaten you, just call his bluff.

HUMAN RESOURCE HR MANAGEMENT IN A NUTSHELL - IF YOU LICK ME I WILL KICK YOU but IF YOU KICK ME I WILL LICK YOU

HR MANAGEMENT IN A NUTSHELL

Tongue-in-cheek

By

VIKRAM KARVE

I have conjured up a saying:

IF YOU LICK ME I WILL KICK YOU

but

IF YOU KICK ME I WILL LICK YOU

which means that

IF YOU WANT RESPECT FROM SOMEONE YOU MUST TREAT THAT PERSON LIKE DIRT AND CREATE FEAR IN HIM

Believe it or not, this is the startling lesson I have learnt from my personal experience, especially in the workplace.  

If you want Respect from a man you must treat that person like Dirt and create a Sense of Fear in him 

Otherwise, people will take you for granted, think that you are weak and they will treat you like dirt and create fear in you.

This is Human Resource Management (or HR) in a nutshell for you. 

Just remember this saying:

IF YOU LICK ME I WILL KICK YOU

but

IF YOU KICK ME I WILL LICK YOU.

Strange are the ways of the human mind and one can never understand the mysteries of human nature and the paradoxes of human behaviour. 

There may be many theories of motivation but it is a fact that FEAR IS THE GREATEST MOTIVATOR.  

That is why you “respect”  a person who creates Fear in you (by violence or a threat of violence - yes, the mere threat of violence sometimes creates more fear than the actual violence itself). 

If you look around you may see this phenomenon in the society around you too, both at the micro level and the macro level too.

Do you agree? 

What are your life experiences? 

Any Comments?
