Food for Thought

Make the most of introverts' strengths - these are the people who can help you think deeply, strategize, solve complex problems, and spot canaries in your coal mine.

~ Susan Cain (Author of Quiet)

Food for Thought

The harder the problem, the softer the conversation (approach).

Food for Thought

Today, I attended a work-related Christmas party. The invited speaker shared about the Ostrich Syndrome. He said that people who would rather hide from their problems - thinking that their problems would go away when they do so - are like ostriches. I think it's wise to confront our problems than to hide from our problems, because the same problems are likely to recur until we have learnt to confront them.

New Beginnings

I watched a reality show this evening entitled "New Beginnings." A 37-year-old man was invited to today's live show. This gentleman talked about his struggles, problems, betrayal by his family and friends, etc. What struck me was that he looked way beyond his years. Hmmm...the cares of this world can indeed make a person look (way) beyond his years.
