"Auld Lang Syne!"

The words "auld lang syne" mean "times gone by." Today is a good day to reflect on the past as related to your workplace! Do you have any regrets? Of course you do! Are there situations that you can change,improve, solve, fix, eradicate? Then do it! Do it now! But if there are situations that you can not change for the better then let them go! Do not waste valuable time trying to fix what is broken....let it go!
However, if you are looking back and you see what has worked, what remains good and what just keeps on getting better...then keep on doing what you are doing!!!
Make the New Year even better by focusing on what you are doing right and do not continue what you are doing wrong!
Take a good inventory of of how well you have been working with your co-workers and resolve to do a better job of getting along with them. Just think if everyone worked to improve the work environment, it would be a truly awesome New Year!
So for old times sake, for auld lang syne, etc., evaluate yourself and make a New Year's Resolution to be the new and improved co-worker!!!
Happy New Year!

"Click Your Heels, Dorothy! You Have What You Need To Succeed!"

"Click your heels Dorothy, you have what you need to succeed in working well with your co-workers! You know how important it is to treat your co-workers the way you would like to be treated! You know what types of personalities really turn you off and make you angry! Then make sure you do not act that way because you know how much you dislike that type of behavior!
Always take the high road! If someone is trying to cause problems for you then take the high road and stay away from confrontation! If you both need a mediator then talk to your supervisor but do not fight verbally or physically at work! You both lose! Someone has to take the high road...it may as well be you!
Help people who need help on the job! So many times people see their co-workers drowning and they do not even throw them a lifesaver! Come on work with me people! Those same people that you help will someday come to your rescue!
Respect your co-workers! Show each and every co-worker an awesome level of respect and watch the favor be returned and if it isn't...at least you know that you did your part!
Click your heels Dorothy! You have exactly what you need to survive in the workplace!

Give The Gift of Joy/Happiness ( In theWorkplace!) This Christmas & Everyday

Give the gift of joy/happiness in the workplace! Yes, you can! You have to work at it but you can give pure joy/happiness in the workplace! Let's start with a smile! :) ! Okay let's start with several smiles! :) :0 :=) :D ;) !!!! Because we know smiles are contagious and you really need a lot of smiles to bring all that joy/happiness into the workplace! Mother Teresa once said, "Every time you smile at someone, it is an enormous action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing." Give the gift to your co-workers and watch the gift be returned to you. As you will quickly notice, more joy/more happiness..."smile in... smile out!"
Another way to create joy/happiness in the workplace is to do something really nice for the person who would least expect a good deed from you! You know what I am saying! Okay then I will spell it out! Do not shower all of your love and affection on your best friend! How difficult is that! I want you to be kind to the person who likes you the least and I want you smile while you are doing ths awesome deed! Just the sheer look of surprise from your "former" adversary will be a gift to you! In addition you and he/she may start mending those broken fences! How cool would this be!
Giving the gift of joy is really a great, wonderful , awesome thing! Try it, you will like it!

"Take The High Road II !!!"

Here is valuable information that I admonish you to take to heart! There are times in the work environment that someone has to take the high road during a confrontation! Oftentimes that person is YOU! Come on work with me people! I know it is a lot easier to argue, explode, act out, create DRAMA, yell and scream but what does that accomplish? Does it prove anything positive? Or does it show the person that you are disagreeing with that they are right? Please do not confirm the negative! Do not help your adversary out! Prove Them Wrong! Take The High Road Now!!!
You can take the high road! Do not let your adversary get under your skin....you are better than that! I believe in you and I believe that you can take the high road!!! You do not have to argue, act out, create DRAMA, yell, or scream!!! Just let your adversary know that when they are ready to reasonably discuss the disagreement you will waiting. Let them know that someone has to take the high road and today that someone is you!
May God bless you in your endeavors to "take the high road."

"Take The High Road!"

It is time to realize that when you are unfairly confronted by a co-worker...Someone has to take the high road! Someone has to take the first step in making things right and so many times that person ends up being you! So get prepared to take the high road continuously. It does not mean that you are a brave soul with nothing better to do than take the high road. It shows that you have it so together that you know the only way to make progress is to nip the problem in the bud. You know it is time to move on to get whatever you are trying to accomplish. Taking the low road is not a good idea because you could surely get trampled over!

Therefore you should always take the high road and even though you may not receive accolades for your job well done...God knows what you have done and He will truly reward you!

"PAY IT FORWARD!!!"

question, "Are You Humble Like Jesus Was? Seriously, I really want you to answer these questions to the best of your abilities.

Take a close look @ yourself in the mirror! Examine yourself one-on-one in the mirror and see yourself for who you really are! If you do not like what you see then make changes! Give that man/woman in the mirror an attitude adjustment and then lose those pesky pounds

"To Confront or Not to Confront?"

Here is the 50,000 question! Do you openly confront the co-worker who is getting on your last baby nerve or do you continue to suffer in silence? My first suggestion is to take this question to God in prayer and listen, really listen for an answer! Then I would do whatever God and I decided to do!
There was only one person in my unit who continually wanted to ruin my reputation of being very easy to work with. Every time she and I were in the same room, she would antagonize me and try to drag me into an argument! I prayed and I prayed. God answers come in all kinds of packages (true gifts) ;) ! God sent one of my prayer warrior co-workers with a message and she told me, "Do not allow this person to steal your joy!" and God also told me to take the high road! Whenever I saw this nurse, I avoided her and I was a lot happier when I did not allow her to steal my joy!!! I decided not to confront and I enjoyed my job more!!!
What would you do? Confront or Not Confront? What is your answer? A penny for your thoughts!!!
