Smile

A smile costs nothing but gives much. It enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give. It takes a moment, but the memory of it sometimes last forever. Some people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours, as no one needs a smile as much as he who has no more to give.

Education

Learn something new every day. Ignorance is the worst possible ally you can have. As Nelson Mandela said “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”

Thank God - its Monday

Bringing FUN & Passion back to the workplace

I had the opportunity to speak at this conference organized by Asia HRDCongress. How do we get people to move from TGIF (Thank God, its Friday to Thank God, its Monday)? We can create the passion by ensuring great workplaces. This simply indicates the need for great people to work with. Read Robert Sutton’s book No More Jerks at the Workplace. I have reworded the book title to avoid a profanity. It also requires the person to be connected to his or her life purpose. Is the competency connection present? When people are connected, we call them Rainbow Creators. Visit http://www.amazon.com/Creating-Your-Own-Rainbow-Palan/dp/1599320649/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1221963557&sr=1-1 for more details

Self Respect

Self respect is the ability to love and accept your true self. Love yourself and others will love you. One must learn to respect oneself before he demand respect from others.

Learning

We do not stop learning because we grow old. We grow old because we stop learning. The best way to stay young is to keep one’s mind young.

Leadership

A true leader is someone who has the ability to motivate others to their highest level of achievement, then gives them the opportunity and freedom to achieve their goal.

Success will only come to those who dare to dream. Believe in your dreams and work towards it with determination, dedication and self-discipline.
