SELF IMPROVEMENT AND MOTIVATION

Such a beautiful message ...worth reading😍😍!!! I was riding my bike this morning and I noticed a biker about ahead.  I could guess he was riding a little slower than me and that made me feel good, I said to myself I will try to over take  him. So I started riding faster and faster. Every  throttle  I was gaining on him a little bit.  After just a few minutes I was only about 100 feet behind him, so I really picked up the pace and  pull my throttle . I was determined to catch up with him. Finally, I did it! I caught up and passed him. Inwardly I felt very good. "I beat him".  Of course, he didn't even know we were racing.  After I passed him, I realized I had been so focused on competing against him that ..... I had missed my turn to my house, I had missed the focus on my inner peace, I missed to see the beauty of greenery around,  I missed to do my inner soul searching nature and  in the needless hurry i braked and slipped twice or thrice and might have hit the sidewalk

SMILE from you is the beginning of all matters. 1. Instead of judging people by their past, stand by them and help them build their future  2. Listen with curiosity, speak with candor, and act with integrity.  3. Treat everyone with kindness--not because they are kind, but because you are.  4. Don't try to make yourself great by making someone else look small.  5. Remember, everyone has a story. Behind every LinkedIn profile and resume there is a real person  6. We don't meet people by accident. We can learn from everyone.  7. The best leaders are those who don't tell you where to go but show the way.  8. Never look down on someone unless you are helping them up.  9. Appreciate those who have supported you, forgive those who have hurt you, help those who need you.  10. Givers are the happiest  11. Look back and be grateful, look forward and be hopeful, look down and help someone up, look up and be blessed. Happy Sharing with Love  Amar @ Aj

Must the glass always be half-full or half-empty? What if there was a different way of looking at things entirely? A new perspective that eliminates the need to decide just how full the glass really should be?  By way of illustration, here is a story based on an old proverb: There was an old man who had a beautiful horse. This horse was not only his family’s pride and joy, but it was also a means to an income for the family. One day, the horse ran away. Fellow villagers visited the old man to give their condolences for such a stroke of bad luck, as the loss of his horse represented a staggering financial blow that would be hard to recover from. “Good luck, bad luck: Who can tell?” replied the old man. “It is as it is. My horse is gone.” Perplexed at the man’s nonchalance towards the apparent tragedy, the villagers went about their business. A few days later, the horse returned with a pack of 12 wild horses in tow. Again the villagers gathered, this time to

How  would  you define  "manager ? " Google  will  tell you a manager is "a person responsible for controlling or administering all or part of a company or similar organization . " That sounds easy enough ― like anyone can be a manager. .  But what  makes  a  good  manager? The kind   that  inspire s   a  team,  fosters  growth and productivity, and frequently ask s  for feedback on their management style ? Simply m anaging a team  doesn't  make a good manager. It's the amount of effort and leadership they put into making their team successful.   .  D on't fret if you have a poor manager (or you think you are one). If your manager is dedicated to your team 's  succe ss  and is  passionate about leadership, learning how to become a good manager  just takes a little effort .  A fter all, you and your manager should be working together towards the same goal.  So, what makes a good manager? Here are some best practices of good managers: 1. They have thei

My new boss told me to never be afraid to give feedback. The next Monday morning in a meeting, I happily shared my viewpoint on a new policy.  Thereafter, I noticed my boss's disposition towards me changed. He stopped talking to me. I was shunned.  I even felt the effects of this in my monthly performance appraisal, where he noted, I was not supportive of the organization, and I needed to be a better team player. The picture was quite clear - truthful feedback was not appreciated. Heather, a co-worker approached me and said, "You are new, honest feedback is just lip service, don't fall for it." I quickly learned loyalists and sycophants were appreciated, while realists were punished.  They built a culture of "yes employees."  I knew I had so much to offer, yet I couldn't. Six months later, my boss was fired. He made a mistake on a proposal that cost the company its biggest client. This could have been easily avoided if he had just asked for honest input.

I've worked for many bosses but few leaders. Working under a bad boss can make a good job even in the best company, unbearable. As the saying goes, people don't leave bad jobs, they leave bad bosses. Here are the 4 types of bad bosses that make employees want to quit companies: 1) “Marionette”  - In an age of uncertainty, many managers are yielding to this trap of just playing it safe to preserve their position and privileges. They just follow orders. They are  mere puppets  and exude no loyalty to employees. It's demotivating working for a manager who does not stand up for their team. If you make a mistake they quickly turn into judge , jury and executioner. It's hard to feel passion for a job when you experience this. 2) “King Kong”  - Some bosses when they reach to the top immediately forget where they came from. These type of managers possess a  superiority complex  and like to draw the distinction between management and staff. It is dreadful to work under a manager
