I asked myself: Who have I lost to most of the time in my life? It didn’t take long to realise that I have often lost to myself. I lost when I didn’t keep my promise to commit. I lost when I wavered from the decisions I made. I lost when I knowingly distracted myself,...

If it's clear that the work needs to be done, then we should start it promptly. Sitting on the fence and merely raising issues and risks is easy and unproductive. While learning from past experiences and making informed recommendations is important, these actions...

If the result of helping others is feeling happy about myself, then the help is still superficial since it is based on internal happiness and perhaps pride. A deeper level of help comes when we help not out of volunteer service but out of a sense of duty. When it is...

We all make sacrifices for various reasons. Some of us sacrifice time to earn more money, while others give up money to gain more time. We might also sacrifice our resources for justice, status, legacy, or other goals. Often, we aren't fully aware of what we're...

Workarounds can be appealing because they provide quick solutions to immediate problems. However, if we rely on them without thoroughly understanding the underlying issues, they can proliferate rapidly, leading to more significant challenges. Over time, a habit of...

The critical KPI for my work is the degree to which I have moved the needle. I may spend time demonstrating the value I add or my knowledge or skills. I may choose to showcase how others are not doing the right things. My critical KPI is the degree to which I have...
