Hmmmm.. Nothing to do now cos e lil rascal was asleep.. Hee.. It's confirmed tat my new job start on 2nd June 2008.. Which is next monday.. I am quite excited abt my new job.. The company got quite alot of staffs.. Compared to my previous company.. They got 5 times more staffs ba.. Thou, the company quite big I am not beri comfortable with it due to those office political stuffs.. U noe la, gossips la... busybodies la... backstabbers la.. Aiyo.. Tot of all tis, I beri sianz liao.. Have to be careful and alert at all times.. And, be careful wid who u mixed and what u say.. Haiz..
By e way, I am now reading a beri enlighting book.. The title is "The 21 Indispensable Qualities of A Leader".. I read till chapter 2 le.. Each qualities each chapter.. So, I have already read 2 qualities.. Let me share with you the first one...
Quality 1: CHARACTER: Be a Piece of a Rock...
- Talent is a gift, but character is a choice!!
- Never "for the sake of peace and quiet" deny ypour own experience or convictions.
To improve your character, do the following:
- Search for cracks. Spend some time looking at the major areas of your life (work, marriage, family, friends etc.), and identify anywhere that you have cut corners, compromised, or let pple down. Write down every instance you can remember for the past 2 mths.
- Look for patterns. Examines the responses that you have just wrote down. Is there a perticular area where you have a weakness, or do you have a type of problem that keeps surfacing? Detectable patterns will help you diagnose character issues.
- Face the music. The beginning of a character repair comes when you face your flaws, apologise, and deal with the consequences of your actions. Create a list of pple whom you need to apologise for your actions, then follow through with sincere apologies.
- Rebuild. Its 1 thing to face up to your past actions. It's another to build a new future. Now that you've identified many areas of weakness, create a plan that will prevent you from making the same mistakes again.
Enriching ma?? Haha.. You might be tinking when did Michelle becomes so hardworking go read all these up.. Haha.. Tink when a person grows older and noe wad he/she wants in her life.. They will seek for advices and enlightenment.. For me, I feel tat, I must enriched myself cannot everything dunno.. Have to be a successful and intelligent career woman!!
Ready for chapter 2??
Quality 2: CHARISMA: The First Impression Can Seal the Deal...
How can you have charisma? Be more concerned about making others feel good about themselves than you are making them feel good about you. There's a story for you.. Let me cut it short.. It's very interesting... The title of the story is "The Cleverest in England".
There are 2 strong men vied for leadership of Great Britain's government: William Gladstone and Benjamin Disraeli. Though these 2 men accomplished much for Britain, what separated them as a leader was their approach to people. The difference can be best illustrated by a story told by a young woman who dined with the 2 rival statesmen on consecutive nights.When asked her the impression of them, she said: When I left the dining room after sitting next to Mr. Gladstone, I thought he is the Cleverest Man in England. But, after sitting next to Mr. Disraeli, I thought I am the Cleverest Woman in England." Disraeli possessed a quality that drew pple to him and make pple wants to follow him. He had charisma.
To improve your charisma, do the following:
- Change your focus. Observe your interaction with people during the next few days. As you talk to thers, determine how much of your conversation is concentrated on yourself. Determine to tip the balance in favour of focusing on others.
- Play the first impression game. Try an experiment. The next time you meet someone for the first time, try your best to make a good impression. Learn the person's name. Focus on his interest. Be positive. And most importantly, treat him as a "10." If you can do this for a day, you can do it everyday. And that will increase your charisma overnight.
- Share yourself. Make it your long-term goal to share your resources with others. Think about how you can add value to 5 pple in your life tis year. They can be your family members, friends, colleagues. Provide resources to help them grow personally and professionally, and share your personal journey with them.
Hmmm.. Hope all these wordy nv bored you... Haha.. But, enriched you as well... Mmmm.. Tat's all I have.. When I read e others chapter le.. Den update ba.. Dun get bored wor.. ^___^
