Middle path is the way, to success or peace or both.

Middle path is the way, to success or peace or both.

In this dynamic or turbulent job market situations, one need to keep acquiring the required skills, competencies and capabilities and at the same one need to keep the self calm as well.

Let's look at the first part (acquiring the necessities). Acorn is?a leading cloud-based learning management system?(LMS) provider, differentiates skill, competency and capability as follows.

Skills are your starting point. They shape job descriptions, training opportunities and recruitment. For eg: Data analysis, Graphic design, Coding, Testing, Agile Coaching, Time Management, Critical Thinking.

Competency is a measure of performance, whether that’s of a skill or capability.??For eg: Foundational, Intermediate, Proficient, Advanced.

Capabilities combine your skills, knowledge, tools, processes, behavior's and competencies. For eg: Manage resources, Deliver results, Cultivate relationships, Change management, Agile Coaching.

Let me clarify or elaborate why I listed Agile Coaching under Skill and Capability as well. When you acquire a certification or some training or little experience that is a starting point. When you acquire the real solid experience for several years, maturity over time & improve your competency, that is Capability.

Now, let us look at the second part (keeping the calm). Yoga, Meditation, Walking, Reading, Investing time in the Nature or any other good habits that keeps our mind and body healthy are the ways to keep oneself calm.

Now, personally, I am continuously learning or unlearning or relearning about AI, Agile, SAFe, Scrum, Lean, Kanban, Cloud, Product, Engineering, Project/Program Management at the same time I continue to do what I love, i.e., Yoga, Meditation, Travel, Networking, Public Speaking, Story Telling, Blogging, Helping others etc.

This is exactly what Buddha taught as "The Middle Path". This post is an attempt to bring the relevance of Buddha's teachings to our modern life. Remember, they are still relevant and scientific.

I am striving on the same path as well, I need not become a perfect Buddha, but possibility of a "Modern Buddha" is humongous. What about you? Share your thoughts or ideas in the comments below. Let us learn from each other. I have one idea (already shared as above ??), you have another idea. Sharing ideas with each other, now, both of us have 2 ideas. And repost with others who may be in the need of such suggestions or inspirations at the moment.
