One Thing to Look for in the Workplace

A very useful thing to ask for in work is a feedback loop - someone who will be able to observe your work, offer guidance and suggestions, and continuously raise your bar of standard to help you grow.

What it Means to Move To A Higher Ground

One must not be afraid to let go of one's empire to pursue another. Time and effort has been invested, yes, but if it doesn't serve your future, pursue another that does. Restarting is nothing to be afraid of.

Damned Judgement

Revisiting Susan Cain's book, a phrase stood out this time - "damned judgement".

An introvert was rejected during a job interview for post as a lawyer, stating that she did not have the fitting personality.

"Damned judgement" is so accurate in describing this situation, and her talents was never tapped on.

Love and Hate For Work

I have friend who posted once, "We hate it when we're at work, but eager to work when we have no work."

I answered, we want to work because we all want to be productive, to contribute. But we usually hate work because it is not the work we want to do.

Similarly, for you schooling youths out there, there are some adults who want to go back to school, because it's a step towards our dreams. However, students do not enjoy studying because students do not understand why education is important.

Find a mentor who can help you understand, and you will find your potential to excel.

Unimportant Questions in Life

The question "How many holidays have you had this year?" just seems so insignificant.

Is it supposed to be a sign of affluence? Level of experience? Is work so sad for people they need to "cool off"?

Why shouldn't the question be "What have you learnt about the world this year?", or "How many people have you helped this year?"
