How smart is your right foot?

Just a small exercise..
How smart is Your Right Foot ? Just try this.

1. While sitting where you are at your desk in front of your computer, lift your right foot off the floor and make clockwise circles.

2. Now, while doing this, draw the number '6' in the air with your right Hand. Your foot will change direction.

I told you so!!! And there's nothing you can do about it! You and I both know how stupid it is, but before the day is done you are going to try it again, if you've not already done so

Best Advice

This is from an article that I read on CNN Money. I picked up a few lines that I thought were really good.

Leonard Lauder, Chairman Estee Lauder Companies

• If you had something good to say, you should put it in writing. But if you had something bad to say, you should tell the person to his or her face

Michael Bloomberg

• First, always ask for the order, and second, when the customer says yes, stop talking. I have watched more people make great presentations, whether they're trying to sell to their family or in business or in government, and never get to the point of what they're trying to get out of it. And too many times when the customer says yes, the person who got that answer just doesn't stop talking
• The worst advice that people can take is to react before they've had a chance to think.

Peter G Peterson, Co-founder and Senior Chairman, Blackstone Group

• Focus on those things you do better than others.

Tina Fey

• Always be the only person who can sign your checks."

Indra Nooyi, Chairman & CEO Pepsico

• Whatever anybody says or does, assume positive intent. You will be amazed at how your whole approach to a person or problem becomes very different.

Thomas Murphy

• Doing the wrong thing is not worth the loss of one night's good sleep.
• Don't spend your time on things you can't control. Instead, spend your time thinking about what you can

Bob Iger, President & CEO Walt Disney

• To thine own self be true.

Joanna Shields, President Bebo.com

• I go back to things my dad said: "Your career is long and the business world is small. Always act with integrity. Never take the last dollar off the table." In my dealings to sell Bebo [to AOL], this advice was critical. You can always do a slightly better deal, but that incremental dollar or windfall is not worth creating an imbalance that affects the relationship. You have to have the intuition to know when to say, "I'm going to make sure that we walk away feeling like we've both done well.

Stewart Copeland, Drummer, The Police

• Son, count your own money before the professionals who say they do it for you.
• Believe in the statement “Yes I can”

Andrea Guerra, CEO Luxottica

• A piece of good advice came from my first boss, when I was a young man starting out on my career. I was working at Marriott. He told me that in your first years of business life, you shouldn't go chasing after fancy titles, but try to find people who can teach you something.

Coffee Anyone?

A group of alumni, highly established in their careers, gottogether to visit their old university lecturer. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. Offering hisguests coffee, the lecturer went to the kitchen and returned with alarge pot of coffee and an assortment of cups: porcelain, plastic,glass, some plain-looking and some expensive and exquisite, telling them to help themselves to hot coffee.

When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the lecturer said: "If you noticed, all the nice-looking, expensive cups weretaken up, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is but normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is thesource of your problems and stress. What all of you really wantedwas coffee, not the cup, but you consciously went for the bettercups and are eyeing each other's cups."

"Now, if Life is coffee, then the jobs, money and position insociety are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain Life,but the quality of Life doesn't change. Sometimes, by concentratingonly on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee in it."So, don't let the cups drive you...enjoy your coffee... :-) sip, lick, ummm
