Ex - Ex - Ex - Compliment


It has been awhile that I haven't felt so good to receive a genuine compliment about me all the way from Singapore! It was from the mouth of someone who knows someone who knows someone that have worked with me few years back in a company. It talked about hmm....all the good things!!

Normally we refer blind spots as people's weaknesses.
But I never felt personally that blind spots can be strengths as well.
Today I did.

It means no matter how small we feel ourselves to be, dedication, commitments, a sense of responsibility & innovations will sometimes benefit a company or someone directly or indirectly.
The law of sowing & reaping...what a law!

At times we thought, "Where are my harvest?".
Harvest can come in the form of tangible or intangible benefits.

I also learned that words can make or break a person depending on whether we magnify the hole or the doughnut in the midst of communication. In the corporate environment, it is whether we focus on the right or wrong P&L statement; Profit & Loss or People & Love? Our focus determine our action which leads to results.

Do we focus in what people did wrong all the time?
Do we focus in what people haven't done all the time?
Do we focus in what people lack of all the time?

Try changing our focus from "red" to "green" in a red society is really challenging.
It is between fighting all the way upstream or assimilating ourselves downstream.

Fighting needs conviction.
Conviction needs knowledge.
Knowledge needs attention to details.
Attention to details needs passion....that's the key!

All I know is....
What we do today matters.
What we improve today won't be a waste of time.
Who we help today will not be ignored.

Let's be our good selves and keep improving.
