Taking responsibility for your actions is the way to improve overall personal life. When you take control of your actions, you are putting bad habits behind you and moving forward down a new highway. At the end of the highway, you will find happiness. Responsibility is a good thing.

Sometimes we make mistakes. There is nothing wrong with this, as long as you learn from these mistakes. You are a human being and will make mistakes for the rest of your life. Mistakes is a part of life, you will have to face.

Blame:

Too many people in this world blame others for their mistakes. Taking responsibility is the way to stop blaming others and start putting the blame where it belongs. Once you learn to take blame, you will see new horizons in your future. Sadly, the law talks about society casting blame, but these people too are worse at casting blame than anyone else casts.

We see this in the media, etc. Unfortunately, we have bad examples to follow in life, so you will need to learn to become your own best example. No one can guide you to improve your life better than you can. When a person takes blame they do not dwell on the mistake they made, rather look at the options to make things right.

For instance, if you cause an accident while driving, you would take the blame and find a way to resolve the problem.

Once you learn to take reasonability for your actions, you will see the road that leads you to success. Someone taking responsibility for their action is the master of their own mind and body.

In life, you will have risks. You will need to learn to take risks whether you like it or not. Sometimes you will take risks that cause you harm, or causes harm to other people. To avoid taking risks that cause harm, try using your critical thinking cap to discover consequences first. Be willing to take chances, as well as participating even if you feel it is stupid.

Many people say, I am probably going to ask another stupid question. The fact is there are no stupid questions. The point being, don’t be afraid to ask questions when in doubt. In fact, when in doubt don’t do it.

When you are willing to join in with others to make your life better, take responsibility for your actions, etc, you are improving your life. a person willing to improve their life is not sitting on the back burner. This person is taking the steps, playing the game of life and taking action to achieve his or her goals.

Are you a generalist?

Do you take interest in all things around you? Do you keep an open mind when something good comes your way? Are you willing to learn? If you take action to acquire these skills you will successfully walk through life without running backwards taking responsibility for bad mistakes you made.

Do you accept the unknown?

The unknown can become your best friend. When you learn to accept the unknown, it can help you improve your overall personal life. For instance, if you know English are you willing to learn French. Broaden your horizons and I promise you that you will improve your overall personal life.

Do you acknowledge your limitations?

We all have limits. We must set limits for our self each day. If you fail to set these limits, you will spend the rest of your life casting blame, since you will live in a chaotic world.

Comfort Zone or Entrepreneur

Posted on 3 May, 2011 at 11:45 PM by with Leave a Comment

Gathered a few friends on a table and started drinking and chatting in a pub lately.

After some round of drinks, discovered that everyone around the table is looking for opportunities outside. Reason being, as follows

  • Cannot work along well with boss
  • Too much of work
  • Clearing others’ mess
  • Not enough money
  • Increment not enough to sustain the lifestyle
  • Looking for better job opportunity
  • Internal politics
  • Retrenchment
  • And many more

With the escalating living standard, inflation is climbing, commodities price raises gradually. However, our monthly salary rises much much slower than the inflation rate. Thus we are always poorer than the economy. How can one survive?

A wise man says. If you want to survive, you shall not work for others. You should work for yourself.

Simple lay man terms: Be an Entrepreneur and earn money for yourself. Not working for others and trade your time with the limited money.

Are you in your comfort zone and trading your time with money.

Or are you exploring new ways to make yourself to achieve financial freedom.

For a fact, I am exploring new ways always. What about you?

How to kick out your preferred vendor

Posted on 30 April, 2011 at 7:30 AM by with 2 Comments

If your preferred had NOT been serving you good all these while.
What are you going to do?

I happened to come across an organization had practice a way to kick out the preferred vendor in a professional manner.

Since your preferred vendor had been assigned and serving for a while and had not been giving you the best service such as late delivery, delayed quotation.

One of the ideal approach is to invite another vendor and promote it to be another preferred vendor as well. Thus you have 2 preferred vendors serving you on the same products, say stationery or network equipment.

Since your initial preferred vendor is not serving you good. You can seek all your internal team members to get more quotations and work with your new preferred vendor.

As time goes by, the procurement team can generate a report and states that the volume transact with the initial preferred vendor is reduced. You can then tell the initial vendor that the organization would like to stop the service and terminate the business relationship.

This thus give both side an opportunity a leeway to disengage the service.

Lesson Learned: Never dis-engage a vendor right away. Due to contractual obligations, it makes no business sense to terminate immediately. But use a strategic move to move a vendor away from the list.
