it's a school out there

January 25, 2010 was a very special day for me..it was one of those ordinary moments that unexpectedly give you a lesson that will be valuable to your life...im glad that employee failed in his Performance Evaluation and I get to have a chance to give him a pieace of my thoughts during the performance coaching and counselling session i need to give him. My thoughts are supposed to be for him but it came out straight to my stubborn ass...and it gave me the hard spanking i've been wanting to receive from the universe to snap me out of my self-made misery.

The guy is a salesman..and obviously he is not giving the numbers expected from him that's why he failed the performance evaluation. When he was asked what his problem was that causes his poor performance, he said he doesn't have enough stocks for one fast moving item that he think will give him an easy sale from his customers. Because of this, he gets frustrated, demotived, miserable and very unhappy resulting him to lose the creativity he naturally has as a person. I told him, you are focusing your attention to one single item which you don't have making you very negative..but you failed to realize that you have hundreds of brands and items which if properly utilized and developed will give you the sales that you wanted to achieve.

Gosh I was slapped by my own words! Lately, I've been really short tempered...and bitchy...and a real pain in the ass...reason? I focus my attention to things that i dont have or cant have at the moment and failed to be thankful and appreciative of my blessings and gifts failing to experience the joy that goes with it...I was miserable and i made people miserable as I am...well only those I love most...which makes it worse ...making us a pack of angry wolves.

Ironic isn't it? I am supposed to coach him...I went out being counselled.
Life is soooooooooo amazing...its a school out there...
