Everything you gain in life will rot and fall apart. All that will be left of you and be remembered well is what was in your heart.
When you lead, friendship should not be the number 1 priority ; as inevitably there will be extended tolerance for non performance and that will be detrimental for him/her, yourself and the company too.
Continue to demand the best from your subordinates. Be strict, be demanding and if friendship can grow, that is great.
As a leader, your primary task is to focus on performance and to grow others : & not being a “nice buddy” to everyone
In your daily life …..
What is your ULTIMATE priority
?Who is your ULTIMATE priority ?
It is OUR CHOICE on where we wish to focus our energy most. What ever our choices are, it is ultimately a free world.
Choose your path correctly and live a path with integrity and dignity.
Avoid dissapointing others who has relied on you, believed in you, trusted you and had hopes on you.
Best to walk a life with a clear conscience than to live a life-time behind a mask of hypocrisy ; as they will ultimately see who YOU truly are !!
Someday, somehow, someone will ask …. shall you be my PRIORITY if I am not yours ?
YOUR OBSESSION IN CHASING FOR SOMETHING MEANINGFUL IN YOUR PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONAL LIFE DETERMINES YOUR AGE.
SO HOW YOUNG ARE YOU ?
We must never loose that “little boy” inside of us. As we progress through life, we sometimes build a wall, a facade ; to protect ourselves, to represent our position, to demonstrate our capabilities or even to hide insecurities.
Perhaps in search for happiness , fullfillment ?
But happiness was when we ran barefooted in the soccer field, climbed tress and skinny dipping in a river. I believe most of us missed those days ; and should incorporate moments of our past in to our present lives.
We do not need to climb trees today but we can still have a bottle of wine and enjoy loud unrestricted laughter with our good old friends of yesteryears.
Many people feel that they are listening well.
But their minds are already conjuring up answers even before they understand the real problem.
If you want to listen well, empty your thoughts first. Absorb and focus to what is being said. Have the sincerity to understand.
LISTEN WITHOUT ANY PREJUDICES.
Bear in mind you do not have an answer for everything.
And that’s entirely OK.
As we forge ahead into the new normal era, we will need to redefine our niche and strengths again.
We will need to adapt, change and re-change many times to achieve a balance on what our new routines should be like.
Our past strengths could be our new weaknesses today. Be prepared to leave some of our “old me” behind.
Create a NEW-ME …..a one that is stronger and compassionate as well as living a life of mutual respect and empathy.
After 2 months of closure, for many, the risk of falling sick is now overshadowed by the fear of hunger or not being able to provide food for their loved ones.
Like it or not the economy has to open up again.We must be brave to move forward whilst enforcing stringent rules to punish thosewrong-doers.
Let us all be responsible on our personal hygiene, social distancing rules and adapting to new behaviors. Easier said than done, but Open we MUST
Reborn ….. A new you ?
As there will be challenges, have the courage to redefine a stonger, better YOU
You can make a difference.
Anyone can make a difference.
