Strive to be a Nobody

Teamwork issues all arise from the individual placing his own self higher than the selves of others. The word 'team' has no 'i', yet people often feel that in a team they should be recognized. Because of the focus on self, people do silly things like sabotaging others, stealing credit, pushing blame and seeking attention. So the first lesson we should teach people is to be nobody.
Nobody refers to our deepest nature, our true self, which is what represents deep inside us. We know that deep inside, even for the most bad person, there are goodness in that person. Our true self is always good, ever-present and in no need of improvement. We just need to let the goodness in ourselves come out. 
Our greatest joy in life comes when we are so deeply engrossed in doing something that we vacate ourselves and give ourselves over to something or someone else. It is when we stand outside of ourselves.  
So being nobody means that we are willing to let go of our own self, our own ego, our own need to be right and our need to be validated by others. Being noboday is  to truly let people see and experience our true selves, which are often good. We don't need to put on a show, impress others or express ourselves because people are not blind, they can see the goodness in us. 
Wanting to be somebody special is nothing wrong. But if this drive for individuality and superiority keeps us aloof and forget that the team is larger than the sum of us, we will be selfish and do things that harm the team. If you are too want to be a good manager or good team player, come for this course...

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
