It’s funny how yesterday’s jungle jeff post, completely unknowingly, was a prelude to the day ahead.
Looking back 24 hours ago, I’m not sure whether I should laugh or cry, because there’s an idea virus infecting the world. Ever feel like that?
Some say there is an art to making people feel like valuable assets. But the virus is weakening these artists.
Rule number one – Life is hard. Get used to it.
Have a nice “day-to-day“.
Are you on Facebook? One of my friends, blessed with a higher education and a serious career, just joined Facebook a few days ago. This morning, she had 8 Friends.
Not everyone is on Facebook. That is, not everyone over 30. Nearly everyone under 30 is.
This update came through last night and and I followed a comment link to 11 rules kids will not learn in school, but should.
We often hear adults complain about the younger generations, and that children need to toughen up.
Well guess who influenced these children?
Maybe we should be saying, “Toughen up adults. Lead the way, don’t get in the way.”
What do you think?
Think about it. I’m heading over to jeffnoel.com
PS. Rule #1 – Life is not fair.
Most people really want to do their best. Probably a remnant of our basic caveman ancestry to figure out how to stay alive.
But the fear of being eaten is long gone, and we drift, unintentionally, toward the abyss of going through the motions.
I often wonder if the plank others see in my eye is as big as the one I see in theirs.
Does your career, and more importantly, your leadership style, have a check engine light?
What are you working on that will make a difference in how others perceive you?
What are you working on that, unknowingly, doesn’t matter at all?
How do we tell the difference?
Excellence is a habit, not something we stumble upon.
The focus here is on each human’s contribution to society. Every ant in the ant colony, and every bee in the bee hive has a contribution.
Same with humans. Society, generally speaking, pays us for our contribution.
You can make the french fries, you can manage the restaurant, or you can own the franchise. Society pays you accordingly. More isn’t always better. Be careful what you wish for.
Leadership, vision, balance, continuous improvement, conflict, adversity, courage, tenacity are just a few of the themes here. Did I mention courage?
Did I mention organizational skills?
