APOLOGY - A TOOL FOR BUILDING A STRONG RELATIONSHIP

Always learn to say sorry. These were the words from a father to a son that echoed my ear one Monday morning en route to my second home, the office. I am not very sure what the issue was but seeing a young girl crying by his side I, could surmise that he had wronged her. As I entered a taxi on my way to my second home, I mulled over this saying “always learn to say sorry”. I kept thinking about this and started raising some questions. Is the word sorry that powerful to resolve sour relationships, what is the magic in this word? Why is it very difficult for people to use it when they know they are wrong? Do some people even realise it when they are wrong? I paused a little and my mind settled on a character at my second home. For him, the word sorry rather infuriates him.

YOU ARE A BRAND

YOU ARE A BRAND- ME INC. In this new world of work, succeeding as a person has much to do with you. To be able to stand out and prosper has everything to do with you. Regardless of your age, position, business, one needs to understand that we are CEOs of our own selves. I am Me. Incorporated and you are You Incorporated. You are a free agent in an economy of free agents. Think about the well known brands. I mean the ones you can mention “without thinking”. Ranging from shirts, watches, shoes electronics and what have you, one can mention as many as his lips can say. Oh! , I almost forgot the cars. ·          How did these brands become so famous that people want to relate with them? It is time for you and I to take a lesson from these brands and create our micro equivalence. The good news -- and it is largely good news -- is that everyone has a chance to stand out. Everyone has a chance to learn, improve, and build up their skills. Everyone has a chance to be a brand
