Winning Solves Everything
“Winning solves everything,” A sportsman said. “When you’re winning people focus on what you’re doing and who you are. When you’re losing, people focus on what you’re not doing, and rightfully so. All that negativity after awhile starts to beat you down. You feel like you can take it for a while, but after three, four, five years of it, you say I’ve been getting beat up. Maybe a different atmosphere has helped.”

Why employees leave organizations?
Every good and stable company faces the problem of people leaving the company for better pay or profile. For struggling companies they are happy when employees leave their companies. For them it is one way to cut cost and increase productivity. What a loser!
Early this year, Jenny, a senior software designer, got an offer from a prestigious international firm to work in its California operations developing specialized software. He was thrilled by the offer.
She had heard a lot about the CEO. The salary was great. The company had all the right systems in place employee-friendly human resources (HR) policies, a spanking new office, and the very best technology, even a canteen that served superb food.
Twice Jenny was sent abroad for training. "My learning curve is the sharpest it's ever been," she said soon after she joined.
Last week, less than eight months after she joined, Jenny walked out of the job.
Why did this talented employee leave?
Zender quit for the same reason that drives many good people away.
The answer lies in one of the largest studies undertaken by the Gallup Organization. The study surveyed over a million employees and 80,000 managers and was published in a book called "First Break All the Rules". It came up with this surprising finding:
If you're losing good people, look to their manager.... manager is the reason people stay and thrive in an organization. And he’s the reason why people leave. When people leave they take knowledge, experience and contacts with them, straight to the competition.
"People leave managers not companies," write the authors Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman.
Mostly manager drives people away?
HR experts say that of all the abuses, employees find humiliation the most intolerable. The first time, an employee may not leave, but a thought has been planted. The second time that thought gets strengthened. The third time, he looks for another job.
When people cannot retort openly in anger, they do so by passive aggression. By digging their heels in and slowing down. By doing only what they are told to do and no more. By omitting to give the boss crucial information. Dev says: "If you work for a jerk, you basically want to get him into trouble. You don 't have your heart and soul in the job."

When I born, I black
When I grow up, I black
When I go in Sun, I black
When I scared, I black
When I sick, I black
And when I die, I still black
And you white fellow
When you born, you pink
When you grow up, you white
When you go in sun, you red
When you cold, you blue
When you scared, you yellow
When you sick, you green
And when! You die , you gray
And you calling me colored?

The 90/10 Principle
The 90/10 Principle
Author: Stephen Covey
Discover the 90/10 Principle
It will change your life
(or at least, the way you react to situations)
What is this Principle?
10% of life is made up of what happens to you.
…90% of life is decided by how you react…
What does this mean?
We really have NO control over 10% of what happens to us.
We cannot stop the car from breaking down.
The plane will be late arriving, which throws our whole schedule off.
A driver may cut us off in the traffic.
We have NO control over this 10%.
The other 90% is different.
You determine the other 90%.
How?... By your reaction.
You cannot control a red light.
However, you can control your reaction.
Do not let people fool you.
YOU can control how you react.
Let us use an example…
