HOME ALONE 2

Yesterday I watched the movie above and this is what I learned from the movie:
  • Dont make promises you cant keep.
  • Dont under-estimate kids [or our subordinates or our children]
  • Be nice to others and somebody will be nice to you.
  • Your parents brothers and sisters love you no matter what ever you are.
  • We cant live alone or by ourselves, we must have somebody.
  • Use/share our heart [feelings] with others, if you dont, then it is like loving your shoe and afraid to wear them to avoid being spoilt. By the time you want to wear your shoe, it does not fit your foot. If you dont share your feeling with somebody, by the time you want to share, the person has no feeling towards you and he/she has already gone.

ONE MINUTE MANAGER MEETS THE MONKEY

I asked from my brother any reading materials in his car while he is out meeting somebody. He gave me the book written by Kenneth Blanchard et al. the title....ONE MINUTE MANAGER...

His issue....MONKEY [my opinion].

I enjoy reading this book because like what he has written, is a real issue all managers [or majority of managers] is facing...monkey.

But I have problem overcoming this monkey problem at my work place....there are only 2 subordinates and both of them are the biggest monkey themselves. I cant even train them. I cant ask them to do anything because nothing get done on time, or done nicely. Eventually I have to do everthing except for the typing work.

If this is my own company, both of them has already been gone long time ago. I need to earn the living and I have no choice. Come next year, Malaysia and the rest of the earth will be facing recession.

Maybe I am the monkey myself
