Today after dinner, I had a real good chat with a wiseman, my dear's Dad. Two hours plus of motivation free of charge in the comfort of my home! Here are some things I learned from that I find very true..... so gotta post it here before it slips my mind one day...
Job- related points to ponder....
1. How to live the rest of your life not working but still earning?
Answer: Convert your job into your hobby... That way you wont have to work a single day but still earn a living!
2. War Strategy of Tsun Szu ( hope I spelt it right)
How to get your soldiers to fight with all their might and strength?
Send them to war and burn all their ships ( so they have to fight for survival)
3. Respect is not demanded but earned
4. Be kind to your subordinates...happy staff= more productive work cos they do their work willingly instead of being forced.
5. Empathize rather than sympathize
6. Be of assistance to your boss... When there is work to be done, volunteer... dont run away. What do you gain? Extra work via volunteerism = Challenge+ Knowledge+ Skill + Favour
7. Tong kai kau malau (Literally means "kill chicken to teach monkey", in Cantonese)
Means that one needs to use an example to teach others and that example must be something the learner can identify with. So where does the monkey and chicken fit in the story? Well, to explain to the monkey how you are going to kill him, you need to demonstrate to demonstrate the same method on another animal. If you demonstrate on the monkey itself, he will never know how he died cos he's already dead.
On Parenting
1. Do not instill fear cos fear stops the brain from learning
2. Over protected kids turn out rebellious or naive
3. Use reverse psychology
Okie... it's late and time to recharge my batteries... so Good night .....
