Moments in Life!!

There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real!

When the door of happiness closes, another opens; but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one, which has been opened for us.

Don't go for looks; they can deceive.Don't go for wealth; even that fades away.
Go for someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.Find the one that makes your heart smile.

Dream what you want to dream;go where you want to go;be what you want to be,
because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong,
enough sorrow to keep you human and enough hope to make you happy.

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past;
you can't go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life so at the end, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.

Don't count the years - count the memories

5 Tips to be a best Boss!!

1) Develop
Peter Drucker once said, "If you have a star, step aside and let them pass you". In partnership, work together on a professional development plan during the annual review. If you can, balance the Division's goals with their aspirations. When possible, offer ownership and support their efforts.

2) Coach
Unlike praise, coaching provides feedback that allows the employee to reach their potential. Also, periodically coach the employee on the goals set mutually. The employee is kept in the loop and next year's performance review is not a surprise to them.

3) Delegate
The inability to delegate is a control issue. Allow your employee the opportunity to grow and see where development is necessary

4) Listen
Sounds simple. Listening is one of the greatest gifts we can give each other. Listening actively means we are not selective in what we want to hear but open to what we listen to. Listening with compassion allows you to open your heart to what the employee is feeling.

5) Show Empathy
The practice of sympathy is not pragmatic as it focuses on the problem. Empathy is understanding how the employee feels with the goal of working towards a solution.
