“When you are 20 to 30 years old, you should follow a good boss, join a good company to learn how to do things properly. When you are 30 to 40 years old, if you want to do something yourself, just do it. You can still afford to lose [or] fail. But when you’re 40 to 50 years old, […] you should do things that you are good at and not [experiment]. When…
If knowledge is power, then knowing yourself is the key to unlocking your might
Knowing yourself goes far beyond knowing your favourite foods and what kind of sandwich you are (although knowing that is very important, too).
Knowing yourself means being able to articulate your story clearly, being confident in what you have to offer, being self-aware, recognizing your areas of improvement, and being able to know where you want to go.

Because you’re not as good a listener as you think
I recently took a course on communication and I learned I am not as good a listener as I like to think myself to be. In fact, most of us aren’t good listeners.
When it comes to communication, the tendency is to focus on how to be good speakers. What we neglect is the other really important half of the conversation: listening.
Listening might seem like a simple skill (it’s just a matter of paying attention, right?), but it’s actually quite complex and requires quite a bit of effort.
Here are 12 strategies I’ve learned on how to become a…
Does keeping New Year’s Resolutions help you achieve your goals? Naysayers argue, correctly so, that the majority of people do not succeed at keeping their New Year’s Resolutions. The second Friday of January is dubbed Quitter’s Day because that’s the day a large number of people give up on their resolutions, and in fact most people quit entirely by mid-February.
