PRAISE

A manager's tool is motivation . If you want better work from people you should motivate them by praising about the things they have done well . Tell them that good job done. There is no need to praise them every time. Most people need frequent indications that their work is appreciated. Praise them in the same way you find faults with their mistakes and defects. Praise is a useful tool in every activity not criticism.

New Year Resolutions

One more year is passing giving way to another y;ear . Every one makes new year resolutions. These are the guide lines which we wish to accomplish in the coming new year. New year brings new hope, new energy,new strategies to combat old and new problems . Review your last year's resolutions and add them to this year's resolutions. You have to le4arn from the past . Do not start thinking that if that thing happened this may be completed. Never blame others or situations for your failure to meet your goals. Start taking responsibility. With sportive spirit take that as a loss and learn from it as much as you can and plan for the future that is bright new year.

Keep your goals realistic. Being a good man is not a realistic goal . This is a goal which has no definitive value.

Keep some goals which you can achieve with little effort. Once they are achieved they will fuel your larger goals/ resolutions.

Divide your resolutions in the three dimensions.
1. Physical resolutions
2. Mental resolutions
3. Spiritual resolutions

Keep your resolutions specific and try to keep them in quantity. Instead of keeping “should read more books” keep a resolution like “should read 50 books in the new year”
Your resolution should be more than what you can achieve. It should be just beyond your reach. So that you have to work a little harder to reach them.

Specify a time limit review your resolutions. So as to make changes to them as per that situation.

Never fear a failure or fault. Read the article on Abraham Lincoln and Edison. Never be pessimistic be optimistic. A pessimist sees difficulty in every opportunity and an optimist sees opportunity in every difficulty.

Tell the whole world about your resolutions.

Believe in your self. Believe that you are going to achieve all your resolutions.
If you truly believe in your goals then the whole universe conspires and will help you achieve your goals. If any one chooses a goal in which he is really interested he will always get what he wants or some thing very close to it.

Learning from mistakes

Every one can learn from his own mistakes. Keep your eyes and ears open and try to learn from others mistakes also. If there is a ditch on the road there is no need that you have to fall in the ditch to know about it . You can also know about it by seeing others falling in to it and avoid falling in to it.

One of the most valuable thing a man can learn is the art of using knowledge and experience of others.
