Handling people is never easy. Because of mismanagement or rather lack of the ability to properly manage people, businesses go tumbling and talents move to the rivals. It all comes from the top to bottom. If only every boss knows this key, no employee working under him/her will ever complain again. Not a single successful CEO can retain his/her top position without mastering this key. Firstly, what makes me qualify to talk about this? I am not a boss after all and I definitely have no practical experience to handle people, I just started working two months ago. But I have an indirect mentor. This mentor is called book. That's why when you read a book, you start to think in the author's mind. You have an uncanny ability to delve into the author's perception and knowledge. It is like a superpower I strongly encourage you to leverage on. Highly accessable.  Few days ago I started reading "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Cargenie. A ve...

Allowing things to happen is easier than not allowing, saying yes is easier than saying no. Although learning to say "No" is essential and we should all learn how to say "No" as we grow up, but the opposite always happen. We often not give permission more than giving permissions. Here are a seven things we should learn how to give permissions to: 1) Give permission to LIVE We don't give permission for ourselves to live. We get ourselves busy with works and other little things that we forget to live. How does that contradictory to living? Doesn't living sync with work and other little things in life? Not necessarily. Living doesn't only mean work although it could. Living means focusing your time and efforts on your top priorities. And your top priorities are things that will add the most values into your life and other people's life. It could be your loved ones, friends and family, your passion, your hobbies and interests outside work. All th...

I am currently still reading "Seven Things That Steal Your Joy" by Joyce Meyer, and something struck me yesterday I decided to make it a post entry. Indeed it turned out that simplicity almost always yield better result than complicatedness. Not only it enables you to focus on making bigger decisions, it will make you happier and peaceful as a person. Have you ever wondered why your life is such as mess, but some people can live happily regardless of the external circumstances they may be facing? Found this on the web and so happened that it fits perfectly well with my title! Personally, I used to be very complicated person and because of that got frustrated easily. Then I realised it was ME who made it complicated. I have the choice to make it simpler if I allow it to. And so I chose to live simple. It is in simplicity I found peace. In simplicity, I am able to focus my energy on making bigger decisions, or simply perform more effectively in doing my daily tasks. Do...

The last chapter of the book "Winning The Game of Life" was on being happy. After writing about steps to be successful, Adam Khoo aptly finished off the book with this fundamental trait yet may be difficult for some people. Many of us have heard of the stories of successful people, how they managed to get out of their comfort zones and strived for the best to succeed in all areas of their life. But have you ever thought that not all of them know how to be happy and be contented despite all they have achieved? Some people have to follow certain rules they have made up themselves to be happy. For instance, if things go according to my plans, I will be happy. If I managed to tick everything off my places-to-visit list, I will be happy. If I can buy the house/car, I will be happy. The list goes on and on. But what if I tell you, the happiness that induced from obliging all these rules are only short-term, only to leave you soon after and for all you know, you will start chasing...
