Using Your Words Are More Impactful Than Your Hands, If You're Told A Joke On April Fool's Day My Friend - The GREATest Series

Hello everybody, 


Happy April to all of you, except for the fact that we are all supposed to be fooled by someone's way or the other. But regardless of my poor jokes that I can try making while also trying to explain about how this event came into being. Since we have already mentioned April Fool's day, I might as well talk about it. It mostly has to do something with a few pranks, nothing to big, at least from what I have heard from the people around me as something to what you would hear from the public audience if you ask them what April fools day means to them in terms of impact on the 1st of April, 2022. But actually, April Fools Day started out back in 1582 when the calendars were being switched from Julian to Gregorian, which began the beginning of spring equinox to happen around this time of the 1st of April. Only thing was that individuals had failed to recognize an actual start of the new year happening on the 1st of January instead. So jokes, hoaxes, and pranks would be used to represent an easily caught fish and gullible person for having a basic understanding of the context of material on what they were trying to convey from that message specifically. Mostly western countries are the one that have been following this tradition to play tricks and jokes towards other people; for a long time now.

I guess we could all agree that with what's happening in Ukraine right now is just heartbreaking to hear the stories of citizens and family members living over there going through tough times of survival. Especially with major companies such as Visa and Volkswagen having manufacturing plants set up in that region, are closing them down to keep the people safe. While it's hurting a lot of the companies' business there, it's shocking to see times come this point where Ukraine's vice prime minister told Apple to cut its product & services supplies and block access to their App Store. 


But in the midst of all that, these recent headlines have been making their way into the top news articles, which has to do with what had happened between Will Smith and Chris Rock recently at the 94th Academy Awards ceremony. I think this sentence itself says a lot about why, what, how, and really was it necessary for you to do that, Will when you were already going to win an Oscar award for the category of best actor in a leading role for his performance in King Richard.


Let me just say, I get the situation that Will was coming from everything which has been going on with his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, hair loss due to alopecia, and many other personal life problems that's he his having to face on a day to day basis. But even then that's still not acceptable from his side of the picture to be performing such a phenomenon on a live stage that people all over the US go checking its report on who where the winners after it's come to an end with the biggest nominee of the night which is best picture. 


Everything as of now has been sort of a concluding chapter with Will Smith since he's officially resigned from the academy of motion picture arts & sciences. It's terrible to here this happening with him; I was genuinely happy with the type of success he garnered last year in 2021 from his book "WILL," which talks about what Will Smith had to go through for becoming the actor we know of today and his life touching film based on father & coach King Richard, in terms of what sacrifices he had to make for creating not one but two greatest of all-time tennis players which are the William sisters (that consist of Venus and Serena Williams)! I guess we will have to wait and see where his acting career takes him from now on forward. But there is one thing, Chris Rock has definitely been gaining an audience with increased sales ever since the Oscar buzz between him and Will Smith, from his new comedy stand-up show called Ego Death World Tour! He is also getting a standing ovation from the audience in his current comedy tour at two different times one which happened in the beginning for two to three minutes after sitting down and again getting up for an applause from a sold-out crowd.

It's like how my mom used to say if you use your words, the consequences won't be as severe to what it will be when you end up doing physical violence to anyone; whether they are a brand or not or even if they used to have it in there early days. Because everyone deserves the same respect as you would except for them to give towards you. That's why any professional working in a company is told to do the ethics & compliance training year-round. Anything that has to do with some sort of physical activity is NOT acceptable, and that's period. That's one of the main reasons it's highlighted for anyone looking to gain their first year of experience as a new hire to twenty-five years of experience as a subject matter expert in that field. I hope this ends up being a learning lesson to all students and professionals that sometimes keeping a bit of calmness inside you will help a long way, especially when you end up winning a big achievement such as an Oscar award after years of working being put into receiving that accomplishment, whereas allowing the devil to take you over will only put you in regretment of what you did and even if you say a billion sorry's it still won't make up for the facts that you still ended up taking that decision of action yourself without anyone's advice. Always remember that do you want to be the angel or devil of that scenario when you know that your up as a nominee for possibly winning the big award and major accolades within your career! 


With everything else going on in the world of retirements from legends such as Jim Carrey to the DJ performance of Idria Elba, don't change your roots even if the walk of fame was a stroll of a walk for you on a professional note. To end on this final note, regarding one of its biggest learning takeaways from this is to let the breath control your mind and not your own anger take its decision, because sometimes the power of meditation & yoga combined will help you take well-thought options both long term and short term wise!

About The Author Himanish Goel In A Paragraph:

Himanish Goel is a Technical Architecture Delivery Analyst at Accenture who believes in the positive vision of living life in both identities of personal and professional lenses. Because the incredible things happen to patient people, but better things come for daring individuals who continue seeking more failure in their whole life! The more challenges of doubt you face in terms of defeat, a universe far away in the galaxy is watching you through tricky times in your life. That same universe presents you with groundbreaking opportunities that surprise the people around you and your loved ones as well. Just follow a primary mission as broad as the ocean, which will help fill the canvas of color with projects that fall under the responsibility of taking action towards it and eventually finding your passion for your type of work.


As said before, there is no deadline to receiving success in life! Always remember that all of my energy is indeed coming from you, the audience! Some rides will have a beam of sunlight come out of them, whereas others might be snow, hail, sleet, or even the slippery rain. But no matter what, always stick with the day-to-day routine you follow for showing the navigation path that discipline comes first before anything else decides to arrive in its grand scheme of the bigger picture. Let empathy shows its true colors for having yourself enjoy your traits. Your craft is yours, and no one can steal the performer’s imagination because it’s their talent. Everyone gets opportunities ranging from small to big in life. It depends on how unproductive you are using your time to compare yourself with other individuals in the same competition as you. Sometimes, the best reflecting moments of figuring out what path we are going on come from writing, speaking, reading, and just searching what attracts us as the advertisement. You have to go above and beyond to see a potential that you didn’t know lay ahead of yourself and the potential to open doors never before, as it’s a part of your destiny!


Take charge for forming uncomfortable habits in starting but have lifelong effects towards finding a purpose of a path for you. Because if you don’t take action, the universe will, and that also in unexpected ways that we as humans have never thought of before. You have to take the one percent of change and apply it towards making habits you keep looking forward to experiencing within your life. Be grateful every day to the universe and religion you follow for staying alive as a human each breathing second. Saying that I will make an impact is much more different than actively searching to find an opportunity where you are actually fulfilling that particular mission!


Be in the continuous loop of checking with yourself on what’s one thing you want to accomplish to get set on walking the moon towards a route which will put you in the headspace of marching along that one direction in what might feel as centuries but only goes on till 37! Rhyme with confidence as if it’s the last step for your greatest success yet! If one slice of Pi or understanding its math symbol can make that sort of impact, then just imagine the type of change a person can bring to a world of stories that go sides of East, West, North, and South! The truth does not exist with simplicity attached to the end of it, but instead through a multiplication of errors that involve a series of confusing events to occur at its place. The tough times only make our characters become stronger and thick-skinned for facing the actual reality of events that come arising towards itself at moments which can turn into unexpected doubts.


So which goes to say that if you have some habits that go from a range of reading, researching, or relooking more into a specific area or skillset just do it for getting to continually create that universal energy which will one day make that wish come true right in the midst of your eyes making it that might end up being to genuine for even just pinching yourself to get it out of this fairy tale dream of yours that has always been waiting to get fulfilled as the oasis of these times for coming ahead!


It tells us the differences between swift ages and rapid paces on getting those do-it-now tasks done for figuring out those other ones that will be put into the bucket of entering a backlog. Agile helps in creating a happier us not to be daunted from tasks but streamlines our opening sentence in a subject of an email. By checking off the mandatory items on a single list and get going on it from carrying small stones along the way & communicating with your fellow teammates. So that you can get a better perspective on the problem, which will eventually turn out into a conclusion of solving the crossword puzzle with a solution in hand.


All of this happened just from the source of positive energy flowing through your veins which allowed agile to help you carry a thousand pebbles that eventually became the equivalent to one gigantic piece of rock! Don’t make trash feel as if it’s being sold to the Earth to continue handling this problem for some more time, but instead find those resolutions to re-use these type of items in a form of helping out another necessary component that could be related to life or having humans eat their plates, cups, and utensils which are consumable for the body to digest and break down its nutrients within the system; to what Pela found when it was producing the genius Lomi product!


Before you go in front of a crowd presenting your image, make sure the manageable piece is not too heavy of a toll which can cost you a personal life burden and professional career being at the edge of ruins! Calm has a longer-lasting to be remembered than terrible sportsmanship to vent out your anger in the form of frustration being built up over the past few days, weeks, months, or even years! That's why anything which seems sparkly from the outside really isn't till you see the bigger picture at hand, which is why it's essential to keep your sanity during courses of events that might change the entire history of your lives! Believe in good health, bringing the desired luck that will lead to wealth and many years for success ahead of you!
