Facing the Bug

There is a bug going around. People all around me are falling ill one by one. It's interesting how different people respond / react to not being in the pink of health.

Someone I know, let's call him A, just mopes about looking for sympathy. Is it a male thing or is it because he is an "I" and would like to express his disturbed state of emotions and seek gratification?

Then, there's B who stoic-like goes to work day after day, despite coughing as if his lungs will fall out. Do his workmates appreciate his spreading the germs or the work he consistently turns in because he is a "C".

"S" of course, will go to bed and rest properly, as the Doctor ordered.

The "D" would face such challenges and obstacles head on - he'd go swimming or work out somewhere, stuffed with some medication bought over the counter - if he goes to the pharmacist at all.

So, which are you, when you fall ill?

Living It

For some time now, I have not only been training about DiSC and how knowing your temperament helps to work with others as well as to draw the best out from others. I have been working in new surroundings where I am able to put into practice what I teach.

And yes, it works. It really does.

It helps me to interact with different people in different ways. Because I understand what makes them tick, what turns them off and what makes them motivated, I am able to get along well with most people.

Most of all I believe I can help to make a contribution to the effectiveness of a team, thereby getting more from the team.

A Certain Humour

People who do lots of work
make lots of mistakes

People who do less work
make less mistakes

People who do no work
make no mistakes

People who make no mistakes
get promoted

So why are we working so HARD? Let's party!

Profiling

There are some who would work very hard to create an illusion.

Then there are some who would work even harder to shatter that illusion and spread the word.

Spoiler warning - this video will reveal a magic trick. Spot it before you view it to the end.

It takes a C to think this one through =)

In Conflict

You need the high C to get the work done in a high standard.

But the natural high I will not be able to sustain that for long.

Put that together and you get a stressed person!

The High I Going Home on Fridays

This rates as one of my favourite to depict the high I

Change?

I read this recently.

"Many relationships fail because one party tries to overpower another, or demands too much. People in love tend to think that love will conquer all and their spouses will change the bad habits after marriage. Actually, this is not the case. There is a Chinese saying which carries the meaning that 'It is easier to reshape a mountain or a river than a person's character.'

It is not easy to change. Thus, having high expectation on changing the spouse character will cause disappointment and unpleasantness.

It would be less painful to change ourselves and lower our expectations."

Should do some personality profiling before marriage!
