How to Get People to Work Hard for You Without Much Money

We all know how hard it is to find a good boss. If you happen to be one, you can do the following 5 things that will make all your employees want to work for you without remuneration:

Believe in them. This must be the biggest reward for any person, for we often see doubters but hard to find people who truly believe in us. You believe that they can do beyond what you’re seeing now, that they are self-directed and can be trusted at all times. Such strong faith will turn all ordinary employees into extra-ordinary employees.
Train them. Yes, training is considered a luxury in many smaller companies but all big MNCs over-train people. The 3 most important skills that you should equip your staff include communication skills, people management skills and leadership skills. You must train people without condition. Do not demand that they must return the benefits to the company, for doing so is not really training but just a trading transaction. True training is about believing in them so much that you would train them no matter what, even if they are going to leave you tomorrow. If you can do this, you are a model boss.
Help them Pursue their Interests. Everyone in this world like to do things that are meaningful and interesting to them, and if you help people pursue their interests, they will in turn help you pursue your profits.
You Teach them to Avoid the Painful Roads that you’ve taken. Everyone wants to know the short cuts to life success, be it in the area of financial management, upbringing of children, parenting, career management or romance management.
You Do Things for Them. We all need assistance in different aspects of our lives, and if our boss can for do things for us we will be more than grateful. The 3 most important things that a boss can do for their staff are taking the blame, making painful decisions and balancing family life with work commitments.

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

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?
