No Thought Given.Thinking Before Talking Is No Longer Practised.

Do we actually think before saying something? Give thought to the consequences of our words?. Everyday, people around me are saying things which most often defies logic and the words spoken carry no meaning. Why say it then?. i understand that seeking attention escapes no one but as time goes by, it is becoming apparent that no thought is given before one opens his or her mouth. That is downright dumb and dangerous. 'Think before you speak'. 'Look before you leap' were definitely coined after much thought.

A Sixth Sense (?)

Do you have a sixth sense?. It is sometimes called instinct, gut feeling, inner voice and i don't know what else.

Once or twice despite an inner turmoil, i acted upon advice that i thought was sound, made sense and sensible. It turned out disastrous for me!. i came to the conclusi...

The Art Of War

While flipping through the pages of a women's magazine, i spotted a website that brought back memories... i read Sun Tzu's "The Art of War For Managers" fifteen years ago.It was recommended by a friend and i thoroughly enjoyed the contents of which truly intrigued me. Needless to say Sun Tzu's wisdom left a lasting impression on me. The website in the women's magazine however suprised me as it was www.suntzuforwomen.com . It made me curious to find out if there were different strategies for women to 'fight wars'. i checked out the website and memories came rushing back.i tried but failed to notice any difference though...hmm. Oops!. Pardon me but for those of you who are not familiar with 'The Art of War'; it is about Sun Tzu, an army general whose brilliant strategies are incorporated and practised by many companies around the world. i'm no manager but what fascinated and left a mark on me were his principles that apply to daily life...
