The sources of disappointments and how to overcome them

The source of disappointments and how to overcome them, in training and in life.

Generalities and particularities of disappointments

Well, this thing is on the large scale.

I think everybody has them, at least sometimes in a life time.
The subject of disappointment is wide.

I will not go now to explain what is a disappointment.

Blaming – The next step

I don’t think there is a problem actually in disappointment itself, but in what comes with it or what comes after it.

Usually the easiest and most common next step after a disappointment is blaming.
Why blaming is not very helpful, I will not discuss in this article.
There is only one thing to notice: It is not helping you to get over the disappointment.

The uncommon and much productive next step should be – in my opinion – taking accountability .
It means recognizing that there is, one single and unique being in your life that is guiding everything you do and that human being is YOU.

The meaning of tasks or how to see any task as a stepping stone

Intro – Why are you doing your job?

This article is about Why we are doing our job? and For whom we are working for?
Actually to put is simple: What is the meaning of our job?

As time pass by – no matter if you are an entrepreneur or employee – for most of us the routine kicks in.
Is a normal process, there is nothing wrong with it. It happens because our mind and body does an wonderful job to adapt to changes.

The matter – higher purpose and routine

In the beginning there is always a higher purpose in the way we see our work.
This purpose is different for each of us, but generally it fits in one of the following categories: world-wide (to improve something, to change something, to create something, … ), personal (to acquire, to achieve, to evolve, to build, …).
What I see happening after years of working is forgetting this purpose.

Care about people without compromise

If you say that you care about people, then do it without compromise.

The worst thing you can do is tell people you care about them and then act like you don’t care.

Usually they will see or sense somehow that something is not working or is wrong.

You’re creating confusions and false expectations and in the end it is coming back to you.

It is the same way in companies: If you as a company say people are one of your core values, then act like this.

Walk the talk.

There are no excuses. And there should be no exceptions.

If happens to get of the track, fix it.
Don’t waste time on excuses and stories. Act and fix it.

Care is more a verb than a noun. So act.

How am I changing the world?

Written by Lucian on Sep 26, 2010 in Featured, Motivational | 8 comments

There is a campaign launched by AIESEC Romania about 1000+ Ways to change the world. And they asked me to write how would I change the world?

First I’m already changing the world because I exists, with everything I do every day. With every decision I take. With every word I spoke. With every thought I have.

Change the desk

Sometimes I procrastinate. The brain needs its time out.

And sometimes I really want to get a new perspective on things.

I’ve found these days a beautiful solution to change the state and become more productive or get a new perspective and it is very simple:

Working on a different desk.

Or in another words: just changing the current location.
It is simple, easy to do and very productive
