Our very own farewell dinner ....

Nas one of the nicest colleague and friend i'ved ever met in my life. I am so gratefull to have known her and became real pals with her. We both pretty much had a great journey of togetherness through the good and down times. She is the one who has always been there when i needed someone to talked to and to listen to. She is so down to earth that we can share just about anything. We talked, we crapped, we work together, we eat together, we sometimes goes to work together and have always laughed together. Her resignation is a great loss to the company but i am trully happy for her that she has found a better job. I wish her all the best in her new job. Below are the pictures we took while having dinner at sushi king :-

Im just gonna miss working with her so much!! Heart you my best friend!!!!

Changing Your Thoughts - taken from www.pickthebrain.com

One of the most helpful things you can do is to give all of your negative thoughts a reality check. For instance, if your partner has just ended a romantic relationship and you think that you will never be loved again, you can ask yourself, “What evidence do I have that I will never be loved again?” Since you’ve been in romantic relationships before this one, there should be no reason why you won’t find another partner who will love you when you are ready. In addition, you can think of all the friends and family members who still love you. In this way you can realize that you are committing the cognitive distortion of over-generalization because you are taking one event and magnifying it to apply to all situations.

Another way to battle cognitive distortions is to engage in reframing an event. Perhaps something negative happened to you, but you must ask yourself if anything positive came out of it. In the case of the end of a romantic relationship, you can tell yourself that you learned many new things from your ex-partner that have made you a much more interesting and well-rounded person and that you can bring this to your next relationship. If you can think along these lines, you might not feel as though you are at a dead end, but at the precipice of a new beginning.

Training your mind to challenge irrational thoughts and replace them with more accurate thinking is extremely difficult, particularly for people who suffer from depression. But the reward justifies the effort you will have to put into it. Instead of walking around feeling unhappy and that the world is out to get you, you’ll have a different outlook on life—one that will fill you with enthusiasm for the day at hand and not affect your mood when things don’t go exactly your way.

All about Motivation - taken from www.pickthebrain.com

Motivation

1. Consequences

- Never use threats. They’ll turn people against you. But making people aware of the negative consequences of not getting results (for everyone involved) can have a big impact. This one is also big for self motivation. If you don’t get your act together, will you ever get what you want?

2. Pleasure

- This is the old carrot on a stick technique. Providing pleasurable rewards creates eager and productive people.

3. Performance incentives

- Appeal to people’s selfish nature. Give them the opportunity to earn more for themselves by earning more for you.

4. Detailed instructions

- If you want a specific result, give specific instructions. People work better when they know exactly what’s expected.5. Short and long term goals - Use both short and long term goals to guide the action process and create an overall philosophy.

6. Kindness

- Get people on your side and they’ll want to help you. Piss them off and they’ll do everything they can to screw you over.

7. Deadlines

- Many people are most productive right before a big deadline. They also have a hard time focusing until that deadline is looming overhead. Use this to your advantage by setting up a series of mini-deadlines building up to an end result.8. Team Spirit - Create an environment of camaraderie. People work more effectively when they feel like part of team — they don’t want to let others down.

10. Recognize achievement

- Make a point to recognize achievements one-on-one and also in group settings. People like to see that their work isn’t being ignored.

11. Personal stake

- Think about the personal stake of others. What do they need? By understanding this you’ll be able to keep people happy and productive.

12. Concentrate on outcomes

- No one likes to work with someone standing over their shoulder. Focus on outcomes — make it clear what you want and cut people loose to get it done on their own.

13. Trust and Respect

- Give people the trust and respect they deserve and they’ll respond to requests much more favorably.

14. Create challenges

- People are happy when they’re progressing towards a goal. Give them the opportunity to face new and difficult problems and they’ll be more enthusiastic.

15. Let people be creative

- Don’t expect everyone to do things your way. Allowing people to be creative creates a more optimistic environment and can lead to awesome new ideas.

16. Constructive criticism

- Often people don’t realize what they’re doing wrong. Let them know. Most people want to improve and will make an effort once they know how to do it.

17. Demand improvement

- Don’t let people stagnate. Each time someone advances raise the bar a little higher (especially for yourself).

18. Make it fun

- Work is most enjoyable when it doesn’t feel like work at all. Let people have fun and the positive environment will lead to better results.

19. Create opportunities

- Give people the opportunity to advance. Let them know that hard work will pay off.20. Communication - Keep the communication channels open. By being aware of potential problems you can fix them before a serious dispute arises.

21. Make it stimulating

- Mix it up. Don’t ask people to do the same boring tasks all the time. A stimulating environment creates enthusiasm and the opportunity for “big picture” thinking.
Master these key points and you’ll increase motivation with a bit of hard work.

The Law of Attraction

The Law of Attraction claims to have roots in Quantum Physics.

According to proponents of this law, thoughts have an energy which attracts whatever it is the person is thinking of.

In order to control this energy to one's advantage, proponents state that people must practice four things:
1. Know exactly what you want.
2. Ask the universe for it.
3. Feel, behave and know as if the object of your desire is on its way.
4. Be open to receive it and let go of (the attachment to) the outcome.

Thinking of what one does not have, they say, manifests itself in not having, while if one abides by these principles, and avoids "negative" thoughts, the universe will manifest a person's desires.
