Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life

“The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.” Albert Einstein.

 Indeed thinking is the starting point of all actions.  As a manager, supervisor, director or leader, it is important that you improve your people's thinking.  Even more important is to ensure that your people think before they do.

 Most people would rather die than think. Many think that they think, when in fact they are just echoing others' thinking.  

 Many employees are very good in doing work - executing instructions, following orders and making things happen. The only problem they have is what they do could be all wrong, because they are based on wrong thinking.

 For example, most people are still very process-oriented and not outcome-oriented. Like when they come for training, their most important concern is the training process: how the training is conducted, whether notes are given, parking availability and so on. If they can change their thinking from the training process to the training outcome, their results will increase manifolds. 

 Another thinking that is causing work issues is productivity thinking. In a bid to be more efficient and productive, many focused on productivity and missed out on production.  You can be very productive, innovative and efficient, but if you have no business, what's the use?

 Finally, the most fatal thinking must be conditional thinking.  This is thinking based on conditions, like "I will attend leadership training when I get promoted" or "When I get what I want, I will be happy".  Such thinking not only stiffens your behaviour, it also makes you almost impossible to do anything. For who is ever ready for anything?  We just have to do things and never place any conditions that can limit your potential.

 One more thing: adopt Limitless Thinking as the way forward. Limitless means there's simply no limit, it is more than abundance (details in another blog at here)

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...

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 ...
