So we are visited by storms every year. 

Life has storms, visiting us unexpectedly. But like the storms that Mother Nature throws at us, it passes by. 

No storm is permanent.

So when storms enter our lives, be strong, it too shall pass.

Ironically, I see a lot of people who take the storms in their lives like a permanent thing. Their acceptance of defeat is mind boggling. It is sad to see people like these.

If you know someone who is like the one I am describing, please give them time. Talk to them and show you care, explain to them that they are stronger than the storm.

Tough situations don't last but tough people do. 

So a staff of mine said she does not have more love left for the company that is why she is leaving.
Although the real reason is not this one, but this statement is very interesting.

Love for work is an emotion and a responsibility. If you have an emotion, it is not enough. You have to have the deepest sense of responsibility to perform the work and know why the work is important.

How does your work add value to the bigger process of the organization?

Oftentimes, staff equates their love to the money present on the table for them if they do a certain work, forgetting the responsibility that is required before they get the value and money they deserve.

Where is the love (money)? It is there when you become responsible and serious to prove yourself that you can accomplish greater things. If you do and can, the money will be there because superiors and managers will do all the things that are possible just to satisfy you and tie you to the company that you are working in.

As for the staff that said this to me, I let her go.

It is baffling to hear people saying something they want others to do when they can't do it for themselves.

The effect to the one being told to obey is devastating. The person giving orders, loses credibility.

Although this is common knowledge, the practice is very uncommon.

So if you are reading this, walk the talk, and walk the walk. It is better to walk than talk because we move from one place to another. We create motion if we walk the talk, and if there is motion there is movement, if there is movement there is positive growth.

The problems are as natural as sunlight. You cannot run away from it, even if it is so painful.
So if you cannot run away from it, there is only one option. The best option is to FIGHT BACK.

FIGHT BACK means to face it, plan and plot a solution, endure the pain and let the wounds heal by finding the right cure.

There is no other positive option left and the best part is that the power to FIGHT BACK is in your hands.

There is no book that points out the right solutions in running a company. As a leader, you can create a system, but this must be run by people, some prone to errors.

So when problems appear in different areas all you can do is face it. Do not run away from it.

The more you face the problems, the more you become skilled in solving the problems.

Manage the situations the best that you can, and pray the everything you implemented and decided will go the way you expected it.

Sometimes life puts a challenge to a friend that you value. Sometimes the challenge will put your relationship with that friend to the brink of destruction. If that happens and the choice is between money, another unimportant person, choose your friend.

Tell him or her that the years of friendship are more valuable than material things. This is easier said than done but it must be done.
