Paradox
It does not take much strength to do things, but it requires a great deal of strength to decide what to do.
Elbert Hubbard
Create a life of being and not doing, as humans are human beings and not human doings.

Motivating other….
As part of a panel interview, I was looking for a candidate that would motivate us as a panel, knowing that this would also motivate his or her team. Sitting, I started thinking what would the drivers be that is needed to motivate other, and the following thoughts crossed my mind:
- To lead by example : To personally know where you are going people will be interested to listen.
- People are more interested in how much you care than how much you know. Having compation with other.
- Support and encourage other, be the cheerleader. It’s about them.
- To be able to be inspired by other, your own source of energy. Read, one of my mentors once said all people that do not read are also illiterate.
- Share your experience, by being a mentor, not through arrogance.
- One can never build trust without being vulnerable.
- Proud fullness is build through war stories, so tell those stories.
- Communicate informal, formal, in the hallways, as much as you can, and remember listening is the most important part of communication.
- People love to be challenged, as they the know you believe in them.
Enjoy your week.
