The Splash of Wisdom

"Oleg, I am very disturbed by a conversation between 2 managers at the airport I just heard. Went like this - "John, I am so depressed. We have to make cuts, and I feel so bad because I am loyal to my people." John replied "Do not be. There is no more loyalty of employees to companies any more". Oleg, can you please write one of your blogs as a response to John ?" John, I hope you are reading this blog. Loyalty is something you earn.  You earn loyalty not by telling your people how great you are, not by your profit reports, and NOT by your mission statements. You earn loyalty by doing something good for your people. By taking real risks for your people By standing up for them By getting them what they need By being there for them when you they need you By helping them to realize their dreams My friend recruiter said he stopped trying to recruit people out of companies like Google. He said they would not leave even for a 50 percent raise because of their lo...

Translated by Allen Montrasio, teacher @JohnPeterSloan_La Scuola. Talking about excuses I immediately think about the stories children make up not to admit they broke the vase, ate the cake, didn’t do their homework. I remember that when she was small, my sister once ate an entire box of my cousin’s chocolates and gradually made any proof of the misdeed disappear by throwing the wrappers in different wastebaskets, tearing up the box and putting the pieces in the stove, at school and in her wardrobe, where eventually my mother found the last red fragment of cardboard that proved her guilt. Cornered, in the face of the evidence, she confessed that “If you had waited another day, you wouldn’t have even found that…”. Knowing she’d done wrong, she faced the punishment in good spirit. I too have done my little misdeeds, but this isn’t the time to talk about them. Little childish lies, told to avoid the just punishment or reproach that follows a wrong action. Sometimes, creative alternative r...

Once there was loving couple travelling in a bus in a mountainous area.  They decided to get down at some place. After the couple got down at some place the bus moved on,    As the bus moved on, a huge rock fell on the bus from the mountain and crushed the bus to crumbs.   Everybody on board was killed.  The couple upon seeing that, said, "We wish we were on that bus"    Why do u think they said that?? If they had remained on the bus instead of deciding to get down,  the resulting time delay could have been avoided and  the rock would have fallen after the bus had passed ..!!!     Think positive in life always and look for opportunities when u can help Others... "Many times in life, the opposite of Success is not Failure, its Quitting" "Winners never quit, quitters never Win"

The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him, and every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming. Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements, and to store his few possessions. But then one day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up to the sky. The worst had happened; everything was lost. He was stunned with grief and anger. "God, how could you do this to me!" he cried. Early the next day, however, he was awakened by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island. It had come to rescue him. "How did you know I was here?" asked the weary man of his rescuers. "We saw your smoke signal," they replied. It is easy to get discouraged when t hings are going bad. But we shouldn't lose heart, because God is at work in our lives, even in t...

Many years ago in a small Indian village, a farmer had the misfortune of owing a large sum of money to a village moneylender. The moneylender, who was old and ugly, fancied the farmer's beautiful daughter. So he proposed a bargain. He said he would forgo the farmer's debt if he could marry his daughter. Both the farmer and his daughter were horrified by the proposal. So the cunning money-lender suggested that they let providence decide the matter. He told them that he would put a black pebble and a white pebble into an empty money bag. Then the girl would have to pick one pebble from the bag. If she picked the black pebble, she would become his wife and her father's debt would be forgiven. If she picked the white pebble she need not marry him and her father's debt would still be forgiven. But if she refused to pick a pebble, her father would be thrown into jail. They were standing on a pebble strewn path in the farmer's field. As they talked, the moneylender bent o...
