Food for Thought



The one and only personality trait the effective ones...did have in common...: they had little or no 'charisma'...those considered charismatic by their top executives had bigger salaries but not better corporate performance.

Food for Thought

And the very worst pronosticators tend to be the most famous and the most confident - the very ones who would be considered natural leaders in an HBS (Harvard Business School) classroom.

Resolutions for 2015



One of the things that I hope I'll start doing is keeping fit, especially because my energy gets sapped a lot and my health has suffered a great deal this year, due to my work environment and the people at work.

Today is the last day of 2014...So many things have happened this year...I'm thankful that my sanity and integrity have remained intact despite all the bad things that have happened to me at work this year. I'm thankful that I've not lost my sense of humour despite all the bad things that have happened. I'm thankful that I've a resilient and unbreakable spirit, which I think is so essential in a world that is full of uncertainties. I'm thankful that I've long recognised the importance of not initiating sins against other people, and I'm thankful that I try not to do so (not because I'm so righteous but because I believe in retribution). Last but not least, I'm thankful that there are people that I can count on to pray for me.

 

Sometimes I wonder if it's worth making so many sacrifices...at work...for people...Is it wise? Or is it foolish? Should I try to be more self-centred and more selfish? After all, as long as I'm  not deliberately hurting anyone or deliberately sinning against anyone, does it matter?
