Motivation

Some internal reflection again today. To some people, self motivation is more important than external motivation, as the former is the one that drives us in long tetm. But I think, both motivations are equally important. Nobody would like to be rejected all the time, although he or she has tried their best to motivate themselves. I think, as a leader we should motivate our people in the correct way. When it is time for sincere acknowledgement and appriasal, we should not stop ourselves from doing so. Getting approval from others can be a strong motivation for a person to continue moving forward and thus cultivate a stronger self motivation. Sometimes the sense of belonging can directly affect a person's productivity. Sometimes we tend to believe so much in a highly accredited person that we lost touch of our own thoughts. It is not necessary that the almighty person is right all the time. If you think you are right, dont give up your thoughts easily.

Happy Birthday to Myself

Was thinking about the water issue that happened recently in Selangor. Thousands of households are left without water for more than 10 days and the government is apparently still working on "something" to fix the problem.

People who are affected by this problem seriously feel the pain. Imagine life without water. It means that there is no cooking, no washing, no shower, no flushing the toilet and worst - No drinking water. Those with infants who need clean water are really in big trouble.

In the end of the day, regardless of whether we are rich or poor, none of us can actually run away from the problem. Say like I am a millionaire today, but I do not have the basic essentials to sustain my daily life, whats the point of having so much money then?

Haha, as I am getting one year older very soon, I tend to feel that family and love and friends are more important elements in life. :) Happy birthday to myself.

Blunt little old woman

Sometimes when I look at others, I found that some people can really hide their emotion well. What they show on their face is different from what they really thinking in their heart. Sometimes I really admire people who has the ability to do that, meaning they are successful people who know the tricks to survive and strive in corporate. But really, I prefer to be honest to myself, and be genuine to others.

I prefer to really know and like a person, rather than to fake myself to like a person. I dont know, I am just a blunt little old woman.

Nothing is Impossible?

When people tell me "Nothing is Impossible", I often think it is something very motivating to say. It helps boost our confidence level and thus be able to march forward towards our goals.

Nonetheless, in reality, "Nothing is Impossible"  is not something that we can achieve easily. The marching process can be very long, slow and suffering. Along the way there could be many barriers that try to stop us from reaching the end destination. Along the way we may actually give up before we can reach the final destination. It requires not just the positive chanting of "Nothing is Impossible", but it requires a lot more self motivation and determination so that "it is possible" to achieve our desired goals, although it may take times, sweats and tears.

I am slowly marching my way to my desired destination. God bless, I hope I will be able to achieve. Gambateh! :)
