Here is a good one from the richest man on earth!

As hard as a lot of people might find the content below… I’m drawn to it
as a lesson I’d like my daughter, nieces and nephew to get from somewhere.

: Bill Gates

Love him or hate him, he sure hits the nail on the head with this!
To anyone with kids of any age, here’s some advice.

Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things
they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how
feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids
with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for
failure in the real world. Read more

Mind Simulating Quotes #2

by sean on July 8, 2007
in Inspiring Quotes

Anger is a wind which blows out the lamp of the mind

While we may not be able to control all that happens to us, we can control what happens inside us

You should not comply something due to fear, You should believe & trust what you are doing is right

If only everything in life is as precious as you!

You make each working day exciting

The different colors of your personality makes this world an exciting place to be in

We make things happen instead of waiting for things to happen. A proactive mindset is one factors that differentiates us

Cheers,
Sean =)

Attracting, Retaining and Developing Gen Y – The twenty-somethings:

by sean on July 6, 2007
in Management

I was busy preparing for an executive presentation for some strategic plans for company where i came across an article from FORTUNE Magazine that was shared by a co-colleague on Managing Gen Y – The Twenty-Somethings.

I had made an executive summary of it and had presented it to my management team. Here, i would like to share with those that are either managing this Gen Y or aspiring to move into management levels.

Characteristics:
Ambitious, Demanding, Question everything, Unapologetic
.

Demanding- They want productive tasks to do from the first day of work, and people they work for, notice and react to their performance. They have high expectations, but they have the highest expectations first and foremost of themselves. They are determined to live their best lives now.

How they look, how spoiled they are, to what they want – even demand of work, they do think they are special. What makes them different is their willingness to talk about it, without much shame & with the expectation that somebody will help figure it out.
No one joins a company hoping to do the same job forever. These days even your neighbourhood bartender aspires to own the place someday. Read more

Struggles makes you Stronger!

in Inspiring Quotes

This story has a very valuable moral lesson. It was shared by Michael from Warrior Forum and i find it so meaningful that i have seeked his permission to share with my viewers.

Struggles makes you Stronger!

“A man found a cocoon of a butterfly. One day he saw a small opening in the cocoon. He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it struggled to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and could go no further… so, the man decided to help the butterfly.He took a pair of scissors and snipped off the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily. But, it had a swollen body, and small shrivelled wings. He continued to watch the butterfly, because he expected that, at any moment, the wings would enlarge and expand to support the body, which would contract in time. Neither happened! In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and shrivelled wings. It was never able to fly.What he had done in his well intentioned kindness and haste, he did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required to get through the tiny opening were God’s way of forcing fluid from the body of the butterfly into its wings so that it would be ready for flight once it achieved its freedom from the cocoon.

Akeelah and the Bee

Akeelah and the Bee was a film which truly inspired me as an Individual. A film in which shows a young black girl coming from an urban neighborhood, raised by a single mother, but still motivated and inspired to use her gift of spelling to the highest degree. During my time watching this film, my emotions were overwhelmed with a sense of positive energy in which inspired me to be motivated to continue doing my best in life, and not settling for excuses for where and how I grew up, and the failures I encountered and taking every bit of my not so positive past to strengthen my positive future.

BIGGER Network, BETTER Sales

Been thinking of what i have achieved and learnt for my past 2 and half years working as a Product Specialist in a global chemical company. Time really past, and as a sales cum technical specialist, life is also full of challenges. Was looking in my scrapebook diary and decided to share following thoughts as a Salesperson with The World!

Contrary to popular belief, marketing and sales are not entirley about successfully selling a product or service. Most of the time, it is about coping with rejection from customers (and sometimes internally in office). This is an experience i am sure all people in the sales profession are most familiar with. It is naturally not easy to cope with rejection.

The uncomfortable feeling of disappointment comes at once when a saleperson sees the expression of boredom or doubt in a customer’s face. Yes! This happens even when they know you are working in a well-known company. Yet, we are expected to keep up a cheerful look, in spite of the fact that much effort and time spent in promoting our products or services have come to nothing. Read more
