How to Treat People

In the words of Goethe:

Treat people as if they were what they ought to be, and you will help them to become what they are capable of being.

One of the most exciting place we've been to in our Maldives Trip is this Adaaran Prestige Vadoo Island Resort. Adaaran is a small island resort that you can walk around for two minutes. But the place's view is just breathtaking. What's great too is that the fee ($100) includes everything (yes including the transport by speedboat) . FREE FOOD - buffet lunch - at 1:00 PM FREE Drinks - from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM - yes, that includes Wines and Beers!!! FREE WIFI - the entire island is Wifi Zone. If you want to have some relaxing experience you can also avail of their SPA services. If you want to eat ahead of time they have a Japanese restaurant. They have a volleyball court.

They will also give you those huge umbrellas if you want for the beach. I am sharing below some of the photos we've taken in thi...

What Filipinos Have to Learn From Japanese People

Developing your attitude is like developing a skill on a musical instrument - it takes consistent practice to improve. When the great Polish pianist Ignacy Jan Paderewski was elected Prime Minister of his country, he made one request before accepting the prestigious office. He would lead the country, but he must be allowed to practice his scales for two hours every day. Guitar virtuoso Andres Segovia requires the same of his students - two hours a day of playing scales.

However, without being thoroughly familiar with scales, a musician would remain remedial in his or her art. It is the complete mastery of the basics that gives birth to freedom of expression, ease of movement and cohesiveness in the delivery of each phrase. So it is with each of us in our attitudes.

Secrets of the Successful: I.M.A.G.E. - "M" is for what?

I have recently shared to you that the secret of the successful is I.M.A.G.E. And by now, if you have been following my blog, you know what "I" means, Innovation . If you haven't read it, click here . Now, I am going to reveal to you what the next letter means, "M" is for Mastery. Committing yourself to mastery at what you do, mastery at your craft - whether your craft is selling staplers or educating children - is the only standard to operate under in these change-rich times. Anything less and you'll be left behind. The comedian Steve Martin said it really well when he advised, 'Be so good that people cannot ignore you.' Look, if people you work with and the people you serve only like you, you'll probably not last that long in this age of intense competition. You want people to love you. To adore you. To worship the very ground you stand on because you are so staggeringly good at what you do. And the only standard that will get you...
