Good morning from Georgetown, Guyana! I am feeling stuffy today. I hope it will be a good day. There are a lot of things I don’t understand. I am trusting in Almighty God.
I am thinking of the movie I saw of the Indian guy who survived the tiger while stranded at sea. That was a good movie! (and I guess my movie review).
I have a post in my blog on some of my father’s ideas for success. I thank him for his support. See the post here: https://fahmeenaodetta.blogspot.com/2022/08/happiness.html?m=1
I used a lot of publicly available information on individuals for my Lessons Project. I did not contact all the individuals for additional data. I did contact some for comment. I apologize for any negative impacts tothose individuals. There are sometimes unauthorized biographies.
I selected individuals that were different - from different cultures, and so on that achieved much. There are LinkedIn articles on each person selected.
I encourage everyone to look at the information out there and make use of it in interesting ways. Ask the right questions, notice inconsistencies, and so on.
I thank my family for support.
Everyone wants to be beautiful, but what is on the inside counts. I believe I am beautiful inside and out (of course, beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder). I am a lot fatter now - I was skinny. I would like to lose the weight.
Thoughts on Competition
To be among the best candidates for a job, there may be the need to retrain or acquire new skills.
Thoughts on competition
Some may say nice guys finish last, but there are different perspectives on this. I recall reading about being likeable on LinkedIn. Giving back (sharing the bread) is also popular and it is not only a Christian thing. That may fall under ‘never taking more than you give’ from that Lion King song.
There are a lot of books/material on competition out there, but my experience and perspective is sure to be different. I grew up in a country (Guyana) that embraced socialism. I was in competitive situations since I was young. I was in a very competitive class at Watooka Day School. I also know quite a bit about competition and competitive behavior from:
- economics (perfect competition and so on),
- competing for jobs (for example, I got into an IT Analyst/Consultant training program at a major organization without any connections. It would be nice to see the comments and evaluations of the folks who interviewed me), and
- working at organizations.
