Professionalism???
What does this word mean? Dictionary says it is professional status, methods, character, or standards. The next was who is a professional? I searched the same dictionary it says Having or showing great skill;Performed by persons receiving pay;Engaging in a given activity as a source of livelihood or as a career;. Many people believe that professionalism exists in the way you dress, the level of luster of your shoes measures your professionalism etc. The image above was the first one i got when i searched Google images for Professionalism and it shows a man with coat, suit and tie.In companies i have seen many ppl saying that "Come on you are a professional dress perfectly!!!", even in colleges nowadays ppl start saying "you must have a habit of tuckin in your shirt wear polished shoes etc, etc. because you are going to become a professional". But in my opinion these things are secondary. True professionalism lies in character, behaviour of a person and not in the dress code. I agree that gud and smart dressing is required at places but in the same time i find ppl stressing too much on it. If a person who is your senior dress smart speaks gud english and starts bullying you whenever he gotta chance,is he a professional? No definitely not, instead i wud say that a senior who inspires you, and knows how to get the job done without creating a difference of opinion is a better professional than the former even though he doesnt know any english or dress a bit casually. I wonder how these ppl speak about professionalism without even knowing the meaning of that word. Kudos to the management of my college we didnt have a dress code during my tenure of 4 years in that college.That doesnt mean that my college allowed semi nude dresses, they jus mentioned that wear something decent, tats all. Instead of speaking too much about dress code, rules and regulations i think colleges shud focus more on how to create true professionals who can make a gud society. One more thought,perfection cannot be achieved by imposing rules instead it can be achieved iff each and every individual realise for themselves....

'if pl in power, want to be seen doing something, they will do the most visible action, to proclaim their activeness, and cover up their inaction over real and important issues'

Yes, I agree. Each and every person is mature enough to know how to dress up themselves according to the environment. All this dress codes are just their way of showing authoritarianism!

What you said was absolutely true, some ppl do somethings for the sake of pleasing their higher officials.

Nope we have to go by the rules! Atleast we girls have to. They are pretty serious abt the dress codes. Get heavily fined if one is not dressed properly and of course the ID cards!!

Very true. People in higher positions are concentrating in others dress than the valuable contributions they are supposed to make for the society.
Have a nice day,

Lighting up for the holidays is supposed to be
By
fun, so don't just get lights that you can turn on; get lights that turn you on. The Decorative LED Lighting can be utilized in house lamps to set a mood, to light up areas that need better lighting, or just to make every day issues easier to see. However, my husband had a little trouble tightening the screw on the solar panel, so it tended to slip to less than an optimal angle.
