In Steve’s forum someone posted about hating small talk because it is a big waste of time and instead should engage in intellectual conversations.

Don’t be a loser

One of the regular sections in our company’s internal newsletter features an interview to a chosen senior management about the core value he holds at the highest regard. Ninety-nine percent of senior management interviewed says integrity is the value they value the most and should be at the core of everyone’s character.

I remember my former manager tagged me and my colleague as visionaries in our group. I never paused to realize I am a visionary but somehow I saw myself seeing things differently than most people.

Qualities of a visionary

Strong in Judgment – a visionary has the judgment, strength and confidence to stand by his opinions and proven everyone he’s correct. A visionary usually thinks far off the radar and faced with lots of criticism from everyone else.

I have talked about Laziness is all in the mind and procrastination syndrome which deals about accomplishing tasks and goals by using courage and the power of our mind as our main weapon for success. But what about small things like immediately getting up when our alarm rings in the morning, drinking our daily supplements, or washing dishes we have just used? These might be simple and routinary tasks but it seems it takes us a lot of rolling before we get out of bed or wait until we run out of dishes before we clean them up.

Letting go of something is probably one of the hardest and longest running thought decision process and emotional struggle a person has to go through especially if it’s special or dear to the person. The thing we hold so dear could vary from one person to another ranging from profession (jobs, work), personal (girlfriend, boyfriend, friend, family), assets (blog, car, watch), etc .

A simple “Thank You” in the title immediately puts a smile in your face knowing someone was acknowledging something given to him. That’s exactly how I felt upon seeing Steve’s latest post thanking all his readers for the success and good life it has brought them. He went on by saying how feedback from readers have literally brought him to tears with the way he helped in serving the highest good of all.

Seldom do we see people pause for a while, reflect on the success they reached and look back at the people who have helped them reach their goals. Saying “Thank You” is short yet so powerful that brings the receiver a certain level of pride that he has contributed in the success of the person.
