“The one important thing that I have learned over the years is the difference between taking one’s work seriously and taking one’s self seriously. The first is imperative and the second is disastrous.” ~ Margot Fonteyn

Climb to the top – no one said it was going to be easy!
Climbing to the top demands strength, whether it is to the top of Mount Everest or to the top of your career.
Abdul Kalam
Here are some of my favourite ‘Climb To The Top‘ quotes…
A well-ordered life is like climbing a tower; the view halfway up is better than the view from the base, and it steadily becomes finer as the horizon expands. ~ William Lyon Phelps
I am climbing a difficult road; but the glory gives me strength. ~ Sextus Propertius
I have great people, smart people that are around me and we love the challenge. I guess it’s like climbing a mountain or building a building. It’s a challenge but you love every challenge that it brings or presents itself. ~ Ice Cube
As you climb to the top, be sure the ladder of success is leaning against the right building.
Climb to the top – once you’re there have a look down – but then keep climbing!
Climb to the top – whether it’s in your favourite sport or the ladder of success at work…Keep Climbing!
Self-improvement statistics guide in decision making.
Statistics shows that about 75% of the people working today are unhappy with their current jobs. One reason is that their talents are wasted because it is not applicable for their current jobs.
That’s just one problem. You might have unreasonable demands placed upon you.
You have to work really long hours to get anywhere. The paths to promotion may be blocked. You can’t get to where you want to be because of the view that people have of you, your experience, or your performance in the job.
Maybe a little self-improvement will help you out with that problem. You should know how to appreciate your job if you want to succeed in life.
If you are always late to your job, maybe it will become the reason for your termination. Why don’t you try to wake up early or if you’re always experiencing traffic, try to find other route. Self-improvement of your habits will help you succeed.
There might be criticism leveled against you that isn’t just. There could be too much politics or backstabbing, you have to grease the right palms to get ahead. The job may just not be what you expected. You were promised one thing, but it turned into something else.
One thing that you should do about backstabbing is always retain your temper at the right level. Don’t try to argue with your office mates of it will be another reason for firing you.
You have to get to the root of what is causing your unhappiness about where you are and what you’re currently doing. The easiest way is The Five Whys. Ask, Why? five times.
Oh, I’m not happy. Well, why? Because I got passed for a promotion. Why was that? Because they didn’t value the project I was working on. Why not? Because management changed and they changed the objectives. Well, why was that? You really sort of drill down to the root cause and find out what the problem really is.
Once you decide that you need a change – that’s where the real fun begins. How to go about finding a new job or change careers completely.
There’s another way of looking at, the Top Ten Signs That You Need a New Job. It’s a bit like a Letterman Top Ten. They’re a bit tongue-in-cheek, but there’s a bit of truth in all of them.
10: You’re outgoings exceeds your income. You just need more money.
9: The most rewarding thing you did this week was sharpen all 12 of your pencils to the same length.
8: You’re reluctant to be a Career Day speaker at your kid’s fourth grade class.
7: Everyone in your work group got a raise except you.
5: You were late for work three times this week, but you don’t care.
4: There’s a meeting at 3:00 to talk about the upcoming reorganization, but you’re not invited.
3: Your boss keeps forgetting your name.
2: You constantly daydream about being a forest ranger.
1: Your company was recently acquired and you spent two weeks worrying that you’d be laid off. After that, you worried that you wouldn’t be.
Remember, finding a new job nowadays is really hard. So, serious decision making is extremely important, before you decided to look for another job, always resolve your problems with your current job. Self-improvement will really help you in that.
Cartoons are such effective communicators – so are cartoon strips and caricatures!
Cartoons are one of the most effective means of communication we have. Does this sound far-fetched? It isn’t.
Here we will look at just why cartoons are so effective at communicating with human beings, and why we are hard-wired to take their messages on board ahead of other forms of communication.
When commissioning cartoons… Pick TWO of the three options!
Good+Fast = Expensive Choose this and I’ll postpone every other project on my drawing board, my round of golf or give up my footy match ticket and work day and night to get your job done. It WILL NOT BE CHEAP though!
Good+Cheap = Slow Choose good and cheap and I’ll still do a great job at a discounted price. But you’ll have to be patient while I fit you in after my higher paying clients, updating my web site, going down the gym, my footy matches, rounds of golf and liquid lunches!
Fast+Cheap = Inferior Choose this option at your peril. It will still be delivered on time but it will be inferior, as many corners as possible will be cut. You know the saying ‘You get what you pay for!’ The least favorable option in my opinion!
