Reply Letter to The Staff

Dear Colleagues,

I read the letter that you wrote to me that day (refer to here) over 3 times, and this letter is in reply to what you wrote.

Yes, I am happy to hear that you guys do not want lesser work for more pay; you guys prefer me as your boss to be a better boss. I fully agree with you that we are all mirrors: bad employees merely reflect bad boss and if the boss becomes better, the employees too become better.

As a start, I have enrolled myself in short effective leadership and management courses, one of them has the strange title called Leadership with Sun Zi Art of War.  I will be going for one management course every month from now till December 2015.  I too will be sending you guys to these 13 courses:
  1. Building Relationships at Work
  2. Dealing with Difficult People
  3. Effective Communication
  4. Effective Support Staff
  5. Excellent Team Members
  6. Email Etiquette
  7. High Value Employees
  8. Productivity From The Inside
  9. Problem Solving with Sun Tzu Art of War
  10. Service From the Heart
  11. Time Management Strategies
  12. Turning Stress into Success
  13. Understanding Your Boss
Details of these courses can be found here.  As we are running a business and not a charity, I expect all of you to apply the ideas learnt in the courses and earn a profit in excess of the course fees.  All of you must also do PAP - Profit Action Plan (details at here).

I hope that after attending these courses, you will be better employees.  I of course will also become a better boss when I have attended my management and leadership courses.

Regards,
Your Boss

Kindness as a Way of Life: How Kindness can Reward You 6 Times Over

Kindness as a Way of Life by Andy Ng Kindness is a universal language that transcends cultural boundaries, enriches human connections, and has the power to transform lives. It goes beyond mere acts of charity or random good deeds. To me, kindness, when practiced as a way of life, becomes a profound philosophy that can shape our interactions with others, the world around us, and even our own well-being. In this article, we will explore the multifaceted aspects of kindness as a way of life, touching on non-violent communication, the limitations of traditional charity, the potential harms of helping, the deliberate cultivation of kindness, and the incredible rewards it brings. 1.       Non-Violent Communication Non-violent communication (NVC) is a key component of practicing kindness as a way of life. Developed by Marshall B. Rosenberg, NVC emphasizes empathetic communication that seeks to understand and connect with others on a deeper level. It encourages active listening, empath

New Age Mobile Numerology

Many people look at 'mobile number change luck' with skepticism, they say, how can just one simple mobile number change create so many changes in a person's life?   Also, the mobile numbers are given to us by random by the telcos, how can our fate be assigned by the telcos at random? Besides, isn't it true that our lives and fates are determined by birth and what we do, how can a small mobile number, which is a modern invention, have any effect?  How about people in the past without mobile numbers?  You mean they don't have a life without mobile numbers, right? One more thing: you cannot just change your mobile number and expect your life to change. If this is so, wouldn't everybody be rich just by changing their mobile numbers? Finally, isn't this kind of fortune-telling thing more of psychology and blind faith than science?   If so, how can we trust anything that is not proven and not science? Today let's resolve all these doubts and I welcome your co

If Not You, Who Else?

I learnt this very powerful 5-word phrase from Singapore's highest ever box-office movie ever: "Ah Boys to Men II". In one scene, the recruits were about to start their 3-day field camp.  Their Officer-in-Command asked them, "Before we moved out, anybody not feeling well?"  All the soldiers replied loudly, "No Sir!!!" "Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow!  What a powerful phrase!  If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you.  This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot
