Position yourself for maximum effectiveness

Position yourself for maximum effectiveness                                              060211

            Technology these days enable us to watch what is happening all around the world live, thanks to satellite technology. These machines orbiting the earth are fed with information about something happening on one side of the earth and they reflect it in such a way that the receivers on the opposite side of the earth can receive these events as they happen. Due to such technology, we will be able to watch the cricket world cup games played in India as they happen.

            There are a number of factors that have to be fulfilled before pictures from other parts of the world can be viewed. Here are some of them.

1.         Presence of an aerial

As you read this article, you are surrounded by large amounts of radio waves carrying all sorts of information. If you do not have a radio receiver, however, you will never appreciate their presence. If you have a radio receiver and tune it to some radio station you will be able to enjoy the music or whatever programs they have on air. This ability to tune into a particular radio station is made possible by the presence of an aerial. An aerial is able to capture these waves and make the radio to decipher the message and convert it back to sound.

            For satellite communication, the aerial is also necessary. The aerial should be able to convert the coming signal into picture and sound. If the aerial is not present the entertainment that comes with the satellite signals cannot be enjoyed.

2.         The aerial must be connected to a satellite dish

            The signal that comes from satellite is so weak that the aerial cannot make use of it. The signal must be focused to one point using a dish. The dish is parabolic in shape, which means it makes all the waves that come from the satellite to fall on the aerial, (which is referred to as the LNB). Without the dish the signal is not strong enough to provide the sound and the picture.

3.         The direction in which the dish points

The dish must be pointing in the direction of a satellite that transmits the relevant signals. For effective communication, the satellite dish must point to the exact direction of the satellite. A slight deviation means the quality may be so poor, nothing effective will be received. If a signal from another satellite is required, the dish has to be moved so that it points in the required direction.

4.         Absence of obstruction between satellite and aerial

The signal from the satellite is so weak that a small obstruction between the receiving aerial and the satellite will make the signal too weak to be utilised. There has to be a clear view between the aerial and the satellite at all times. If there are heavy clouds or rain, the signal is usually disturbed. Channels become scrambled.

You are like a satellite system in more ways than one. For maximum effectiveness you have to satisfy a few conditions. First of all you must be sensitive to the needs around you. If you cannot detect these, you cannot solve the problems of the people you serve.

            Sometimes there is greater need for increased sensitivity because the signals coming in are not so clear. If you do not increase your sensitivity you may miss the signals and lose your effectiveness in the process. There must be no obstruction, whatsoever, between you and the people you serve, otherwise you will not be able to be effective in your service. Anger and unresolved issues place a barrier that makes it difficult to communicate with your clients.

            The most important thing is that you be positioned pointing in the right direction so that you get the best signal available. If you are positioned wrongly, even if there is a strong signal and the aerial is not obstructed, there is not going to be effectiveness. It is, therefore, very important to be properly positioned. Without this positioning you cannot be effective.

            There are many things in your life that will depend on your positioning physically, spiritually, mentally and financially. If any of these areas are wrongly placed, you will find yourself being ineffective in some area of your life all the time. You can look at your life closely and decide how best you can align your purpose to the prevailing situations so that you can be of maximum use. Your effectiveness seriously depends on your positioning.
