7 Questions to Ask Yourself for 2015

Questions are the answers, and smart people don't ask smart questions but empowering questions, questions that give you more power. 
  1. Does 2015 need to be better than 2014.  If so, do you have the plans to make it happen?  
  2. Do you commit to doing those things, some of which you find uncomfortable, which will bring you results for 2015?
  3. Are you working on strategic opportunities, or are you still looking out for transactional opportunities?
  4. Is your boss going to help you get what you want?  Can you ask your boss for more?  If you are the boss, is your team helping you to achieve your goals?  Can you get better team and ask for more results from them?
  5. Are you resolved to only spend your valuable time and resources with truly good opportunities for improvement?
  6. Will you listen more to your customers, your boss, your colleagues, your vendors and people that will help you in your work?  Will you engage them with questions, rather than try to prove your capabilities with your wonderful knowledge?
  7. Will 2015 be the same as 2014?  Worse?  It all depends on what you have set yourself up to.  For me, 2015 will be an improvement from 2014, not because 2014 was no good, but the seeds that I planted in 2014 will begin to see fruits in 2015 and beyond. Like going to China and Sri Lanka for training opportunities.  Related articles:

"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...

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.
