Inspirational Thoughts

Yesterday, I was blog hopping around our company's intranet and reading some of my favorite blogs. I've come across an "Operational Excellence" blog which is really interesting (it really motivates me more in my work everytime I read the posts). The thought of the post is mainly the difference between Performance and Growth which he expounded very well. Because I am interested with the topic, I've come up a formula. (Performance + Growth = Career Success).

What is the formula all about? To explain further, Performance is where you develop skills, knowing the capabilities, and reaching beyond the goals. For me it's one of the essential things to keep in mind. If an employee exceeded his or her goals, he has a good performance. On the other hand, Growth (where is actually a Career Growth), comes in if an employee already achieved those goals and sharpen his skills. With a good performance and of course a good career growth, a person will absolutely have a successful career ahead of him. And because I'm really inspired to share the things that I learned, I will write a follow up post on this. It's about how you can have a good performance, and how to achieve career growth.

I'm happy to say that yesterday, I've learned something!

Do you have long term goals? I bet you have. Do you know why successful people make it to the top?

Having our own objectives, we tend to think of possible ways (I mean so many ways) to complete these goals. But, there are times that we encounter trouble that challenges us if how far can we go. Others might fall back and do nothing. It's not supposed to be like that. We should think out of the box. You get my point? I wish you do. It's ridiculous to think that you can't do anything. Of course you can! We always have the freedom to choose and successful people choose to take failures as a challenge. So why not be like them? Drive and take control of your life. We are humans with brains and so we should use this intellect to find ways, to provide solution, and to implement a better action. If we transform negative things into positive ideas, then we could probably take part for a change. Aim high because you can! Your determination can shape your mind to think, and fulfill your dreams. Remember, a way to success is to take one step ahead.

In literal terms, when we talk about "Word or words" it compose of letters that convey a thought and it could mean something. There are times that people are so emotional that may trigger them to say vague words which could hurt someone. When we are mad, we even forget to use our mind. We are not conscious that we might offend others. Sometimes, these words are really tricky. If we will not be careful in using it, then we might lose respect from others especially with our loved ones. These are just simple things that others forget to think about, the simple things which could make someone sad or happy. So I think a minute of silence and reflection will help you overcome your emotion and will stop you in saying such hurtful words which could really cause pain on someone's heart.

There are certain times in your life that you've been thinking on what others might say and think about you. That's the reason why you are trying to adopt on a world that you never thought you could go through. That's the time "changes" butts in.

In a world where you are in right now, you can't avoid changes. It may be in your look, your attitude, and of course your own self. You may or may not notice that you are changing. Everyday is a new day, a new experience, a new life. (Sigh)%u2026

But wait, don't be too overwhelmed. Too many changes might also destroy you (your whole being). In your urge to renew yourself just to fit in and to impress others, there are some important things that you have forgotten. Your family's worth, and so are your real friends. Try to track back a little, and set things right. Ignore what others might say or think about you, it's their opinion. You can't get that away from them. If they would say something bad about you, don't mind them. They're just trying to despise you. Be real. Be true.
