Teamwork starts at home

Forgotten to remind those young people who listened to my Teamwork session, Teamwork begins at home. A home comprises a team of two or more family members. The master of the house has to lead the family with a goal. Usually the team leader is the man who initially team up with his female partner. Both have to be cooperatively putting the right effort to love and be loved for each other.

Similarly they need to have the right attitude to keep the love relationship alive. Both of them have to be honest, patience, hardworking, have humility, sense of humour, determination, responsible, listener, pride, empathy, belief, enthusiasm, dedicated and faithful. Without these attributes the relationship would not last long.

Good teamwork of both partners would naturally bring more offsprings to the family. A contended female partner or you call her as wife or mother, helps to raise the children willingly without condition. At the same time, the satisfied and happy team leader or you call him as husband or father, makes a better Star Performer for the company he works. They have all a common goal, to live happily for the rest of their lives together.

If you want to do well successfully on your job or career, make sure your teamwork at home is in order. Otherwise you would not have the peace of mind to contribute to your company. A happy person always has the right attitude for others.

Be dedicated - "The winning team has a dedication. It will have a core of veteran players who set the standards. They will not accept defeat" - Marling Olsen.

What is Teamwork?

Last night i was invited as a speaker by the Khalifah Group comprising all bumis who are young and dynamic. They were full of eagerness to learn from this naughty man here. They gave me value and hope, which was translated into another form of energy....drive and enthusiasm.

With my buddies of four, I shared the topic of TEAMWORK... the theme is Less Me More We. The definition of teamwork is; "Co-operative effort by the members of a group or team to achieve a common Goal".

Though Khalifah Group is a young one, they have aim and purposes. Their Vision is...We are prudential wealth planners providing superior financial services that include investment, savings and protection products with aim of creating wealth, financial independence and security. Goal of 2009 is 6 million API and 150 new recruitment. I like their aim and goal.

I reminded them, in order for their group to fulfill their vision they have to work as a team. They have to be Star Performers and Stars have right attitude. In fact right attitude is even more power than intelligence. Intelligence is knowledge, and knowledge is power. Too much power might create egoism and self-esteem of oneself. Knowledge and skill are known but attitude is kept hidden. If one professes positive attitude in his daily lives, i am sure he would be a likable person. And a likable person always gives rather than takes!

With combine and co-operative effort towards achieving their aim and purposes of their group, using the right attitude of teamwork, nothing is going to stop all these young salesperson to be successful. I am glad they add me as their teammate as well. A friend who is still growing up and are prepared to share and give. I am sure we would stay to be the NUMBER ONE.

Please be reminded again - "Persist & persevere and you will find most things that are attainable, possible" - Lord Chesterfield.

Mother- Father Job Description.

PARENT- Job Description
This is hysterical. If it had been presented this way, I don't believe any of us would have done it!!!!

POSITION : Mom, Mommy, Mama, Ma Dad, Daddy, Dada, Pa, Pop

JOB DESCRIPTION :
Long term, team players needed, for challenging, permanent work in an often chaotic environment. Candidates must possess excellent communication and organizational skills and be willing to work variable hours, which will include evenings and weekends and frequent 24 hour shifts on call. Some overnight travel required, including trips to primitive camping sites on rainy weekends and endless sports tournaments in far away cities! Travel expenses not reimbursed. Extensive courier duties also required.

RESPONSIBILITIES :
The rest of your life Must be willing to be hated, at least temporarily, until someone needs $5. Must be willing to bite tongue repeatedly. Also, must possess the physical stamina of a pack mule and be able to go from zero to 60 mph in three seconds flat in case, this time, the screams from the backyard are not someone just crying wolf. Must be willing to face stimulating technical challenges, such as small gadget repair, mysteriously sluggish toilets and stuck zippers. Must screen phone calls, maintain calendars and coordinate production of multiple homework projects. Must have ability to plan and organize social gatherings for clients of all ages and mental outlooks. Must be a willing to be indispensable one minute, an embarrassment the next. Must handle assembly and product safety testing of a half million cheap, plastic toys, and battery operated devices. Must always hope for the best but be prepared for the worst. Must assume final, complete accountability for the quality of the end product. Responsibilities also include floor maintenance and janitorial work throughout the facility.

POSSIBILITY FOR ADVANCEMENT & PROMOTION :
None. Your job is to remain in the same position for years, without complaining, constantly retraining and updating your skills, so that those in your charge can ultimately surpass you

PREVIOUS EXPERIENCE :
None required unfortunately. On-the-job training offered on a continually exhausting basis.

WAGES AND COMPENSATION :
Get this! You pay them! Offering frequent raises and bonuses. A balloon payment is due when they turn 18 because of the assumption that college will help them become financially independent. When you die, you give them whatever is left. The oddest thing about this reverse-salary scheme is that you actually enjoy it and wish you could only do more..

BENEFITS :
While no health or dental insurance, no pension, no tuition reimbursement, no paid holidays and no stock options are offered; this job supplies limitless opportunities for personal growth, unconditional love, and free hugs and kisses for life if you play your cards right.

AND A FOOTNOTE THERE IS NO RETIREMENT -- EVER!!!

I like this advice - "The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother" - Theodore M. Hesburgh

LIFE GOES ON....

Miracle Man Walks Again.
He survived against all the odds; now Peng Shu Lin has astounded doctors by learning to walk again.

When his body was cut in two by a lorry in 1995, it was little short of a medical miracle that he lived. It took a team of more than 20 doctors to save his life. Skin was grafted from his head to seal his torso? But the legless Mr Peng was left only 78cm (2ft 6in) tall.

Bedridden for years, doctors in China had little hope that he would ever be able to live anything like a normal life again. But recently, he began exercising his arms, building up the strength to carry out everyday chores such as washing his face and brushing his teeth.

Doctors at the China Rehabilitation Research Centre in Beijing found out about Mr Peng's plight late last year and devised a plan to get him up walking again. They came up with an ingenious way to allow him to walk on his own, creating a sophisticated egg cup-like casing to hold his body with two bionic legs attached to it.

He has been taking his first steps around the centre with the aid of his specially adapted legs and a resized walking frame. Mr Peng, who has to learn how to walk again, is said to be delighted with the device. What Self Confidence!

See the enthusiasm, confidence and tenacity on his face? Can we ever be distressed, impatient or complaining for frivolous reasons after witnessing this?

He has determination..."The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a person's determination." - Tommy Lasorda

Beautiful message from Tagore

These are wisdom..."There is a difference between happiness and wisdom: he that thinks himself the happiest man is really so; but he that thinks himself the wisest is generally the greatest fool." - Francis Bacon.

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN THIS TIRED??

How i wish i could sleep like this baby! Baby is pure, innocent, sinless, cute and likable. All of us started with these beauties of life but time and environment changed us to be different. We could have grown to be more knowledgeable, but our mind have lost the impurity and the adorable attraction. The impulsiveness, rebellious, arrogance, anger, etc in our behaviour make us stressful and tense. We could be very tired, we would never be able to sleep like a carefree baby for sure.

Anyway i am lucky coz this morning, little darling whispered to my ear..."Beautiful Sunday my love. Its indeed feeling so wonderful that my babe is still snoozing there with his warm pillow. I loveeeee youuu!!!" Hey! I am still a baby to someone you know. I hope my picture can make you laugh and smile for the day.

A meaningful rhyme....
Monday's child is fair of face,
Tuesday's child is full of grace,
Wednesday's child is full of woe,
Thursday's child has far to go,
Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child works hard for a living,
But the child that is born on the Sabbath day Is blithe and bonny, good and gay.

Do you think this is true? ....."It is easier to be a lover than a husband for the simple reason that it is more difficult to be witty every day than to say pretty things from time to time." - Honore De Balzac.
