Food for Thought

With the right mindset, our students will likely find success in life, but without the right values...the success may come at the expense of society at large.

~ Assoc Prof Ben Leong Wing Lup, (NUS) Department of Computer Science (Quoted by The Alumnus, Jul - Sep 2015/Issue 102)

Food for Thought - Motivational Interviewing (MI)

MI is a collaborative, person-centred form of guiding to elicit and strengthen motivation for change (Miller & Rollnick, 2009)...it is a gentle, respectful method for communicating with others about their difficulties with change and the possibilities to engage in different, healthier behaviors that are in accord with their own goals and values to maximize human potential.

~ Sylvie Naar-King & Mariann Suarez (Authors of Motivational Interviewing with Adolescents and Young Adults)

你为了你的‘小白脸’做了超多的。。。例如，你显然的为了他而提升了他部门所有的人, 因而让资深的同事享有28天的年假。。。你也显然的为了他而给他异常的加薪（听说是12%）、提升他两次。。。你甚至为了他多凭请了三个同事。。。（你可以为了他做了这些违背良心的事。。。你应该知道你这样做就等于滥用公款以及滥用捐款。。。）你也为了他而给他很多学习的机会以及表现自己的机会。。。你更为了他而让他参与各项大小型活动的策划。。。还有，你蛮常接他上班、送他回家。甚至于送他和他母亲去医院复诊之类的。。。反之，你却完全没为我做什么。。。甚至于每当我上司欺压我的时候，你只会躲避，完全没替我出气。。。或许你会以为我是在吃醋。。。但是我没有哦。。。我只是在提醒我自己，你这个人根本就完全不值得让我托付终身。。。更何况你又是一个感情泛滥的情场高手。。。

My Stand on Ethics

I rather stand firm on ethical issues than do something that is unethical just so that I'll be well-liked. If a person compromises once, it's likely that he'll continue to compromise.

Food for Thought

All strong brands, whether business or personal, have at their foundations a clear belief system. Yes, they may have wonderful logos...but make no mistake, it's the value provided - which reflects the values within - that people care about and are attracted to....the reliability of their performance is a continuing demonstration of their commitment to what they believe - their values.

~ David McNally & Karl D. Speak  (Authors of Be Your Own Brand)
