Recognizing People – Key To Success

Monday, August 30th, 2010

Let us recognize everyone who did very good things. Most of the time, recognition is being given to the children. Do you know that even adults need recognition?

If you’re an employee, I’m sure that you will feel good if someone recognized you for the good things you’ve done. One of the secrets of the successful employers is that they always recognize the contributions of their employees. Contributions refer to something that added value to the company. Giving rewards is one way of recognizing people. Saying to someone that what he/she had done is good is another way of recognizing people.

Sunday, August 29th, 2010

I am enjoying this day because it’s non-working holiday in the Philippines. It’s time to relax and enjoy life. I’m doing what I love to do which is to watch Naruto. :)

Whenever I have free time like this, I go to our province in Pangasinan. Since I just went there last week, I’ll spend this day watching Naruto. In order to have work and life balance, I will read Java book for one hour first before I will watch Naruto.

Hostage Taker In The Philippines – August 23, 2010

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

The hostage taker in the Philippines last August 23, 2010 had negative mental attitude. That’s the effect of being pessimistic. If he’s always thinking positive, he’s still alive until now and living a happy life. :)

Not all Filipinos are like the hostage taker. Anyone with negative mental attitude can be a hostage taker. Watch your feelings and how you think. If you’re not feeling good and you notice that you have a negative mental attitude, you should act immediately to replace your negative thinking with a positive thinking. Replace your bad feeling with good feeling by thinking of good things and happy moments. :)

I’d like to greet my best teacher.

How Would You Feel If Your Client Decided To Stop Working With You?

Sunday, August 22nd, 2010

How would you feel if your client decided to stop working with you? In other words, you lost your client.

If this is me having client and decided to stop working with me, I’d feel bad for a short time (maybe few minutes). Then after that, I’ll be asking myself “Where did I go wrong?”. I know that there’s a definite answer to my question. I need to list down where I failed, what qualities I had that made me failed, and the most important thing to do is to list and understand what lessons I have learned from the failure.

I always keep in mind that people who are successful today experienced the bad times in their life. It did cost them a lot of money because of their failures. But despite of many failures they had, they learned from it. That’s the reason why they’re successful. The money they lost when they’re young served as their tuition fee to school of success. :)

Naruto Has Burning Desire To Be Recognized

Saturday, August 14th, 2010

I watched Naruto Series. I finished watching episode 1 to episode 17. It makes me laugh, smile, and sometimes I don’t notice that there’s a tear in my eyes. Naruto said it’s bad to always cry when you have problem. But it’s okay to cry if you’re happy.

Watching Naruto makes me feel good. Naruto series highlighted the importance of recognizing people. This is applicable if you’re a leader. You need to recognize your people for them to cooperate with you and develop teamwork.
