Its EPM [ Performance review ] time, and there is goal setting happening for the next year. My manager always insists on setting Specific Measurable Attainable Realistic Timely goals.
After knowing this, whenever I pray god 'ದೇವರೆ ಒಳ್ಳೆಯದು ಮಾಡಪ್ಪ ’ I realize it doesn't fit the SMART goal theory and I start being more specific..bottom line is I can't pray like before :(
one more common example - "ದೇವರೆ exam ನಲ್ಲಿ ನಾನು ಚೆನ್ನಾಗಿ ಮಾಡೊ ಹಾಗೆ ಮಾಡಪ್ಪ "....if it has to be specific...then it would be " ದೇವರೆ, ನಾಳೆ ನನ್ನ maths exam ನಲ್ಲಿ ಎಲ್ಲಾ questions ಗು ಸರಿಯಾದ Answer ಬರೆದು, 100/100 marks ನನಗೆ ಬರೋ ಹಾಗೆ ಮಾಡು." :)
ufff....if god was like "manager" life would be really difficult !!! :D
