53. Redefining Beauty


Beauty.
What is beauty?
Google says, Beauty is a combination of qualities, such as shape, color or form that pleases the aesthetic senses, especially the sight.

Beautiful.
What makes one beautiful?
Google says, Beautiful is something that pleases our senses or mind aesthetically. The synonyms are - attractive, pretty and good looking.

We call someone beautiful when they look good, when they are in a nice shape, color and pleasing to our eyes.
We are often told that outer beauty is not what makes one beautiful, that one must possess inner beauty. But we always forget this very point when we judge someone by their looks or even ourselves for that matter.

Which brings me to the point, why even 'Judge'? Why is there a need to judge someone or even judge ourselves?
But then I realize, talking about this is pointless. Judging is a basic human instinct. The first thing we do when we see someone is judge them by their appearance. The first thing we do before we exit our house is judge our appearance.

How people look at you. How they see you is not important. It should not matter. But it does and I understand that, but you should always know what the real deal is about.

The real deal is-
"Your perception of yourself."
How you see yourself? Do you consider yourself beautiful or an average? Do you feel confident under your own skin or not is what matters. Or rather I say what should.

Don't follow the stereotypical society. The society which says-
"You should work out and start dieting to lose some weight.”
"Use fairness cream for your dark skin."
"Your long height makes you look manly."

Stop listening to what the society has to say about you for a moment. But rather start figuring what you think about yourself. Bring such a confidence within you that the society can't destroy. Accept that you are beautiful.
Because, you are who you are for a reason. You look how you do for a reason and I think not accepting that is like not accepting yourself.

Your confidence makes you beautiful. 
Your kind heart makes you beautiful.
Every little positive thing within you defines your beauty.

So, let’s stop believing Google or the society for once and say out loud and clear.

‘I am Beautiful.’

40. Not everything deserves a press release!

Image
Press Release is an official statement issued by an organisation sent out to news media to provide information, or to make an announcement. It is written by a communication professional on behalf of the organisation to achieve the communication objective. Press Release is the most basic and frequently used form of writing when it comes to business writing, especially in the PR fraternity. But not all messages need a press release to be conveyed to its target audience. A press release should be appealing enough for a journalist to work on, otherwise, it would just add to the waste. Journalist possibly get various press releases, some don’t even see the light of the day again. So, as communication professionals, we should be able to identify where a press release is needed and where it isn’t.
