Does the animal world is filled with so much of problems like ours.  Sadness,You can be happy if you learn this art from animals Articles frustration, agony, blame, brutality, famine, sickness, suicide, richness, poverty, apprehension of future, depression, madness, revenge …. etc.  You may find more & more words in dictionary conveying similar meaning; also interestingly you can find their meanings to be very relevant and appropriate to human world? 

We know animals do express fear? Animals do struggle and fight? They do express their love, affection and loyalty.  But as much as man has, one can speak with great conformity that no animal will be having such problems.  Why animals suffer fewer problems than humans?  Do animals consult their psychiatrists very frequently hence they do not suffer from depression or psychosomatic disorders?   Or animals meditate very often to keep their mind calm and less agitated?

What the corporate people should learn from animal world?  No one can say that animals are not intelligent.  Evolution was never been a very partial process where some were created as ‘always winner’ and some as ‘always victim’.   No one also can deny the fact that animals do not possess these feelings.  They do, but never seems to be victims to one or combination many of these emotions.  Why so? 

It is very easy to answer the above question by saying that animals are primitive, whereas human being is highly evolved.   It is nothing to do with whether one is advanced or primitive nor with evolution.  It is something to do with the ‘need’ and ‘purpose’ of life.

When one live for a ‘need’ or live with a ‘need’, tend to suffer the most whereas when one live with a ‘purpose’, suffer less.  Need is like waves in the sea.  When one need is accomplished, the second one appears and so on and so forth.  Waves in the sea will never settle and so are needs in human life. 

Animals in general live with a purpose in life. It may be difficult to accept but that is the truth. 

Be it a hunter or a grazer, always you can see that animals live with a purpose.  They seldom give too much of attention to the future.  They always live in the present.  Very rarely only they recall/reminisce their past.  They never get jealous of other animal. Highly focused they are. 

Employees in the corporate must introspect as to understand whether they are after a need or are after a purpose. Difference between the need and purpose is that the need is the extension of the past into the present, going to cause tension and worry.  On the contrary, the purpose is a very independent emotion, it does not carry any past not have any expectation from future.  By-product of the need is compromise, beggary, expectation and sycophancy.   On the contrary, the purpose gives birth to passion, freedom, courage and strength.

The corporate employees should quickly discover their very purpose and work on it, failing which; they will have to live a miserable life full of curse and recital.  Beckon success with your purpose not with your need.
