A New Chapter of My Life

I finally did it!! I throw in my resignation letter last night.. It was difficult as I've been working here for 7 years.. This is the longest job that I ever hold.. there are many sentiments and fond memories left deeply-rooted in the company.. Yet, life goes on and I can only put this decision in my wishes to pursue greater heights in my career in a more challenging environment.

I'm not sure what is ahead for me.. but as for now.. I know my new colleagues in US/Asia are looking forward for me to join them.. and I do look forward to my new job (bigger responsibilities & bigger pay check).. It is like entering a new chapter of my life.. I'm looking forward to this change.. The new job is my dream job and I feel like it's a dream comes true :)

Stress Management

~*~*~*~

A lecturer, when explaining stress management to an audience, raised a glass of water and asked, "How heavy is this glass of water?"

Answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g. The lecturer replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it."

"If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance. In each case, it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes."

He continued, "And that's the way it is with stress management. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be able to continue. As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden."

"So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down. Don't carry it home. You can pick it up tomorrow. Whatever burdens you're carrying now, set them down for a moment if you can."

"Relax; pick them up later after you've rested. Life is short. Enjoy it!

And then he shared some ways of dealing with the burdens of life:
* Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue.
* Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.
* Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be recalled by their maker.
* If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
* If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
* Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.
* The second mouse gets the cheese.
* When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.
* Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live.
* You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person.
* Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
* We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names, and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box.
* A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

Purpose, Process, Payoff

~*~*~*~

When meeting with client, do you use Purpose, Process, Payoff to start your meetings?

Remember to start your meetings with telling your customers:
Purpose - why are we meeting?
Process - how will we go through the material?
Payoff - how we will benefit from spending this time together?
Then be sure to follow up with a Permission Question, asking your customer if this is an acceptable way to have the meeting.
This will ensure every person at the meeting has a clear understanding of your objective and you will have a better chance of achieving your goal.
