Monthend Again !

This month is a real hectic month...starting off with staffing issues....with a lot of dust of uncertainties but finally started to settle down towards the end of the month. A lot of communication been made and I would expect these to rise further as real challenges will start off next month onwards.

Closing of Q3 is an important barometer for us to check on our last lap to close the year 2007 with 3 months to go. Next month Oct is a budgetting month where all unit manager will be called to present the outlook for next year business plan and budget. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure we have better reflection of results just like those stock counters trying to build up a better outlook.

Overall result for Sep is mere satisfactory as I viewed myself though I was hoping for the big one to close in today.

I hope, yearn and shall work for better results to follow through the last 3 months of the year...but for today, I shall take a good reflection before starting fresh on Monday, 1st of October 2007 to move all my machineries again...so may the force be with me.

No Direction

"If one does not know which port one is sailing, no wind is favorable"
It was a coincident yesterday when I was discussing with my superior and one of the staff pertaining to her future direction, we discover this statement.
As we talked about the unity as a team and togetherness as a powerful drive forward, my staff seems confuse and does not know which way to decide. It was at this moment, my superior was looking at the desktop calendar on one of the motivation remarks stated... on the above title !
When we have no direction, what should we do ?
- Search our soul deeply ?
- Brainstorm ?Lay down as many options as possible ?
- Talk to your mentors/best friends ?
- Importantly, pray to our Lord for real direction and our reasons in this world..
It is true that if we do not have direction, our world stops ! or circling around. When we have a clear direction, our tasks can be coordinated easily than no direction. Challenges can be managed. Difficulties can be adsorbed. Happiness can be multiplied. Success is strongly sought after.
Therefore, we always need to revalidate our direction, make sure we are crystal clear of our goal as we spend every second of our life.
