00:00Very good.
00:23Very good.
00:27So, like I said, I have a little courage to answer this question.
00:32You can study, learn, learn.
00:35So, today we were talking about time management today.
00:40There is also an analytical way in which I can keep the time management properly.
00:46Look, there are two different orientations of time management.
00:56One is polychronic and one is monochronic.
01:02If I can explain it, it will be easy to understand it.
01:06Like in America.
01:07America is a representation of monochronic culture.
01:10Time is a monochronic way.
01:12It means that every minute is the limit.
01:15If we explain it to our children,
01:17that if they need 4 crore rupiah in retirement,
01:20that means that for their lives,
01:23they will earn 10,000,000 rupiah every year.
01:27If we take 10,000,000 rupiah,
01:30that means that if we take 4,000 rupiah per day,
01:35and if we take 8 hours away,
01:38then approximately 500 rupiah every hour.
01:41We have to save them.
01:43And if we take a save for that,
01:45if we take an example of business,
01:47we have to save 10 times.
01:48So, the limit of time is 5,000 rupiah every hour.
01:52It is a reward.
01:54Very good.
01:55Okay.
01:56This is a monochronic orientation.
01:58You have done a time of time.
02:02You have to do it all.
02:03You have to save it all.
02:04You have to save it all.
02:05You have to save it all.
02:06Yes, yes.
02:07The second thing is polychronic.
02:09Polychronic's best example is this.
02:11I'll give a European example.
02:13One time there is German and Italian.
02:15Italyans are our own polychronic.
02:18We have to get German and Hindi.
02:19We have to get German and Hindi.
02:22I met a German man.
02:24He was very angry with a Hindu man.
02:26Why do you think he is angry?
02:27He said, I have 9 o'clock written on my diary
02:29and it's 9.30.
02:30Hmm.
02:31So, Hindustani has written a question.
02:33Why don't you write 9.30 right now
02:35and we both will be happy?
02:36That is the…
02:40That is the polychronic orientation.
02:41Polychronic orientation.
02:42He has a follow-up.
02:43He said,
02:44Look, we were coming to meet.
02:45Meeting is happening.
02:47Our purpose was to increase our business.
02:50That is also increasing.
02:51So, half an hour is here, half an hour is there.
02:53What is its purpose?
02:55If the outcome is missing,
02:58then one hour, half an hour is there.
03:00And many things will not change.
03:04Professor, this doesn't work in today's work.
03:08I remember that I moved from Delhi to Delhi.
03:14In Delhi, we take it easy.
03:16In Mumbai, people stay on time.
03:18If I go somewhere,
03:20then 15, 20 minutes,
03:21they say,
03:22Okay, 15, 20 minutes,
03:23it's late.
03:24And the chairman of the State Bank of India,
03:27his PA said,
03:29Your time is finished.
03:31He can't meet you.
03:32You are 20 minutes late.
03:33So, slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly,
03:35the idea that I am not late.
03:37This is a big...
03:39What you have told us,
03:42is that it is going to be a long time.
03:45It is going to be a long time.
03:46It is going to be a long time.
03:48It is going to be a long time.
03:49It is going to be a long time.
03:50Because if you see that
03:51in our society,
03:52there is no more education level.
03:55If people get a single unit of measurement,
03:58which is easy to understand.
04:00Like I am selling cars,
04:02it is going to be a long time.
04:03So, I don't have to study engineering.
04:05It is going to be a long time.
04:06I tell you,
04:07that there is CC.
04:08There is a transmission.
04:09There is a cell phone or a camera.
04:11There is a megapixel.
04:13There is a zoom.
04:14There are two things.
04:15I don't have to be an engineer.
04:16To progress your life
04:18in that way,
04:19I am an expert.
04:20If I am in a single unit of measurement,
04:22the price is a happy,
04:24satisfaction is enough,
04:26as I will end with it,
04:27it will be easy.
