I read this article regarding Praise

The headline goes something like this: Should praise be given readily to improve performance?

Some of the people interviewed said that they give praise whenever it is needed, but they wouldn't give it readily

A lot of them acknowledged that praise would definitely improve morale and performance for a while, but wouldn't give it easily as they are scared that their students/employees would become complacent

For me, there was once I tried so hard just hoping to get a word of praise, but no matter how hard I tried, I still wouldn't meet the expectations

So I just gave up

and became happier, lol




Praise is needed, and I know myself, thriving on praise, but not to the point of using praise to raise my ego, but with the little bit of praise, it can drive me on further, and longer

Praise is needed- simple logic, everyone understands it, but nobody does it

Quite sad, eh?

Death

  I’m sorry to let you down, papa, mama.  I just want to know that it’s the hardest decision that I’ve ever made, to leave you. But living on has become increasingly difficult. I have left some money for the both you, please take care of your health.  Don’t be sad, because life goes round, and one day we will meet again. I’m sorry to have taken the easy way out. You wanted me to become someone useful but I’m here stuck in a job for years and not wanting to move because of so many reasons.  I’m sorry to let everyone down, I’ve been thinking about this for a long time. I think it’s finally time to do it. I would like Eileen Gwee to have 1/3 of my fortunes, with the rest going to my parents. Eileen, I’m sorry that our last memory is of you being disappointed in me. I’ll try to be a better person in the next life. I’m sorry to have taken the easy way out, it’s so hard. We are not married yet, but I love you more than anyone I’ve been with. I don’t know if you’d ever beli...

resolutions

It has been a year of ups and downs with The Girl and we really went through a lot as a couple. Sometimes I feel as if we're going too fast, and maturing too fast as a couple (cos we've experienced so much together) but I guess it is fine cos we were able to learn a lot about ourselves and about each other as we got through the year. Having said that, I do wish that 2011 was better. There are improvements to be made, girl to cherish more (you know who you are) and fats to be lost in 2012. Here are my resolutions for the coming year. 1) To be able to fit into XL or L shirts by Christmas 2) To qualify for Honors 3) To become a better person 4) To take up a new sport and keep to it 5) To spend my first paycheck on Joanna Hope that it'd all be fulfilled if the world doesn't end! :DDDD
