Do not look down on the boy
BUSINESS MATTERS (BEYOND THE BOTTOM LINE) By Francis J. Kong

From the Albany Journal, 1890 comes this material. Let me share this with you.

A true Christian never looks down on anybody, and yet this habit of looking down on the less fortunate acquaintances is common enough to make the following advice, given by the Albany Journal to its young readers, very timely:

A teacher asked her third grader to write about their personal heroes.

One little girl brought the essay home and showed it to her parents. Her father was flattered that her daughter had chosen him.

“Why did you pick me?” he asked expectantly. And the sweet little girl replied: “Because I couldn’t spell Schwarzennegger.”
Who are the people you admire?

Are you talking to me?
BUSINESS MATTERS (BEYOND THE BOTTOM LINE) By Francis J. Kong

A conversation took place one day between a doctor and his patient:

“Please doctor you’ve got to help me. I’ve been stung by a Bee.” Says the patient.

“Don’t worry; put some salve on it.” Replied the doctor.

“I will never find that bee. It must be miles away by now.”

“No, you don’t understand! - put some salve on the place where you were stung.”

“Oh! That was in the garden where I was sitting under a tree.”

“No, No! I mean on the part of your body that the bee stung.”

Man still screaming in pain: “On my finger! The bee stung me on my finger and it really hurts.”

“Which one?” asked the doctor.

“How am I to know?” replied the patient…”All bees look the same to me.”

Was there a conversation taking place? I don’t think so. There was a lot of talking but there was no conversation.

Do you know that the same situation happens in the work place?

There’s a lot of talking and speaking going on but are people hearing sounds and noises or are they really listening to what you are saying?

Somebody says: “In the business world, a senior manager is expected to know a little something about a lot of things. A manager is expected to know everything about something. The secretaries however, are expected to know everything about everything.” Quite true I believe.

And then there was this person who complained: “We’ve all had some “unusual” bosses, I know, but I had one at one time who was more than just a bit “eccentric”.

He had two signs on his desk:

1) “In this Office, the word ‘No’ is a complete sentence”

2) “Reduce Stress by being reasonable — Do it my way”

While there is a lot of “boss –bashing” going around in the work place, the fact is that many leaders are misunderstood.
