Engineering Life Project

Engineering Life Project

--------------------------------

O Engineer, busy in construction jobs, have you thought to engineer self

Admittedly buildings you create strong, aesthetic, beautiful & architectural marvels.

You remain involved in planning & designing of civil engineering infra

Seeing each & every aspect of economy and serving purpose.

Every nut-bolt of mechanism is checked before letting go-ahead

And associate many persons, specialists to meet optimum requirements.

From brief idea before conception, you move step by step

All management fundamentals are followed so to reach ultimate goal.

What are the requirements and how to meet the best?

What resources are required and ways to accomplish within time?

A good coordination is required between all stakeholders of project

Everybody is carried forward and his views are respected.

As a project manager, you should be able to judge right from wrong

And the convincing ability & presenting self-imprint the final go.

You check all structural elements from foundation to the top

All geographical & location factors are considered in the parts’ design.

Your goal is to create marvel within financial & knowledge constraints

You don’t always find experts, and have to manage with available.

You sometimes take bold decisions to come out of all hitches

And not always popular as few may not like ways yours.

But your role is to run the show and not to earn cheap populism

And to direct all concerned to move the things in desired line.

Project means construction that needs be meticulously conducted

All artisans, skilled or unskilled should know their jobs properly.

It is not that one just thought and project is completed

It needs consistent intelligent efforts of everyone involved.

We think project and get results, more or less to our efforts / expectations

We know inputs made so, and don’t merely expect miracles.

We observe each & every resources, and know result in its tune only

And that results would have been better had our inputs improvised.

Project means thousands of inputs and their proper coordination

People associate for specific roles doing their parts well.

Everyone’s role is important as a small loose can kill the spirit

Small lapses cause major defects & sometimes very difficult to rectify.

Our life is also a project but we do not care self-matters

We let it move in own way, without any meticulous step.

It goes hither & thither, and becomes unmanageable by its own

It loses; create bad habits and many faults beyond control.

So why do you not engineer life and set right its body & spirit

Check its each & every requirement so that it speaks of its own.

It can be its own master provided its ultimate goal is pre-decided

Activities & events in between with time & resources planned in advance.

You also need some PERT/CPM and Primavera to order activities

Detail out all requirements and assign resources for execution.

Move in the way as Epictus  did, watching carefully every nuance of life

And convert this mortal into engineered project and don’t let it sway away.
