On my subway ride to work, I sometimes think about how ideal “me” at work would behave. This morning, I decided to write my thoughts down as I was listening to new songs that I downloaded on my iPod. Here is my rule of thumb that I try following to become a better “me” at work. I think it would be awesome too if everyone at work try to follow these rules… Just a thought. ^^*;
Observe and listen,
Investigate and analyze,
Engage and document,
Ask and clarify.
Think logically and creatively,
Collaborate and formulate solutions that make sense,
Make decisions based on facts, but also
Believe in intuition and experiences.
Work with the team with confidence, patience and trust,
Give credit where credit is due,
Argue with constructive reasonings,
Look for improvements and opportunities,
…And ultimately be responsible, humble and honest.
Ashton Kutcher gave this inspiring speech about [3 secrets to keep your career going] at Teen Choice Awards recently. I can’t agree more!
“There is a big difference between giving up and letting go.
Giving up means selling yourself short. It means allowing fear and struggle to limit your opportunities and keep you stuck.
Letting go means freeing yourself from something that is no longer serving you. It means removing toxic people and belief systems from your life so that you can make room for relationships and ideas that are conducive to your wellbeing and happiness.
Business Scenario given
Sarah, Sammi, Doori are students at University of Toronto. They have received permission from the Administration to run a consultancy Tutorial Service for the students of Systems Analysis Design course. They called themselves the “A” Team. They offer a wide range of services including in-class group tutorials, 1-1 coaching as well as Project Assistance work.They help students to manage and complete their project given in class. In compensation for their work, they can ask for a flat fee of $ 2.00 for each half an hour of consultation and a flat fee of $5.00 for attending the group tutorial. The “A” Team accepts cash payment only. A receipt is printed when payment is made. Any student who has a disability can access the services for free. The School Administration coordinator has also assigned a faculty member to assist the “A” Team should they require subject matter expert advice.
First time trying to grow beans and herbs in my condo balcony! Quite easy to do actually – all you need is a pot, soil and seeds, water…. and of course Sun! It’s been little over a month since I planted the seeds. Look at those beans, cilantro and spinaches now! Yum.
I took a Digital Painting course with Bobby Chiu while ago at Seneca College @ York University. He is truly one of the most inspiring artist I’ve ever met! This is one of the painting I worked on while taking his class.
I created this tag cloud for a presentation “Scrum 101” that I am putting together.
Simply brilliant!

See my first posting for a brief explanation on what ECM is.
Here is an ECM of a fictional company called Techie Princesa Bakery Corporation.
Consider that this corporation has “Always Eat Healthy” Program and they are developing a new gluten-free menu. Perhaps Tim Hortons should come up with some gluten-free muffins and donuts. Sounds like a good idea to me, no? 😉
