a motivational speaker came in today during studio to talk about success. usually i find this kinda of talks boring and repetitive but she was really good. i was absolutely amused by her.

What defines SUCCESS?

people tend to get too obsessed with the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow that they fail to see the beauty of the rainbow itself.
so what comes at the end of the rainbow is not as important as long as we have the right attitude. attitude to think, to dream, to believe and eventually to value.

Success becomes a journey, not a destination. (how true...)

***

she went on to saying about what contributes to a positive working environment.
Respect. and to respect is to listen.

"everyone thinks they are good listeners."
"however, when you're sitting there (quietly). you're in fact assessing and judging. so when you're assessing and judging, what is it that you're not doing?"

"YOU'RE NOT LISTENING!!"

(LOL.)

***

words alone cannot express that humour during when she spoke but she was really good.

***

accessing input: (taking in feedback) contributes to a positve environment. all we have to do is, "Thanks." (zipped) there's really no need to comment further on the feedback that people give.

trust: how to establish trust? by not stealing aka "extended" borrowing. (love the way she used inverted-commas to "glorify" thiefing. LOL.)
