Self-sabotage
This is a guest post by Pradeep Mahesh (Maheshwari) from New Delhi, India.
We start a business or take up a job with the full intention of succeeding in our endeavor. Yet we manage to fail in many of our undertakings. Is it possible that we are ourselves to blame and the fault is in the self-sabotage that we may be practicing? It sounds ludicrous but we may be doing exactly that – albeit unknowingly.
In case you are the boss; in whichever capacity that maybe, begin with the question “Am I stifling my junior? Am I always there, looking over his shoulder and catching his each and very mistake before he makes them?â€. It does not require a very great intelligence to see that if the answer to these questions comes in a “yesâ€, the sabotage situation would be obvious. Why? The employee would become a nervous wreck to begin with and be constantly afraid. He would rather wait for the boss to take over and stop using his initiative. Human nature being what it is, in this over-bossy scenario it has been observed that the boss goes beyond the call of duty to correct and guide the junior, letting his vanity ride. He may even go to the extent of becoming abusive and forever critical and be seen as an ogre to be placated; in which case the junior would certainly stoop to lying and hiding unpleasant truths as much as he can to avoid censor. Soon the company’s working will go off-track. This is tantamount to self-sabotage. Juniors in their zeal to show off their capabilities can do the same.
WikiPilipinas Filipina Stories, A Contest
In line with the principle of honoring the diverse, beautiful, and powerful image of a Filipina, WikiPilipinas will launch a special portal, Encyclopedia of Philippine Women, inside the site which will compile and detail the achievements and triumphs of Filipinas everywhere. Its sister site, Filipiniana.net, will also have a Philippine Women Microsite containing documents discussing Filipino women, as well as selected texts from the oeuvres of Filipina writers. Through a combined effort for advocacy, WikiPilipinas partnered with Filipina Images to help promote a more empowering image of the Filipina. By having an online platform to showcase Filipina intelligence and talent, the goal of developing more empowered Filipinas becomes achievable.
Many participants, through this project, will discover that they can help bridge the digital divide and promote gender mainstreaming and gender equality.
To promulgate the advocacy, WikiPilipinas and Filipina Images websites will launch “Filipina Stories,” a writing contest with the mission of uplifting the image of the Filipina.
Check the prizes and mechanics of this contest.
PANGASINAN STATE UNIVERSITY: Cheating Frenzy
“In a world of cheats, cheating gets
promoted as a “force of nature.”
“Everybody seems guilty of being
specious, spurious, and unctuous. The
truth is not here, but out there.”
Take the world of elections: Candidate
A loses, and, as though by instinct,
he blames candidate B for it, accusing
him of either ‘dagdag bawas’ (vote
padding) or ‘kaskas bawas’ (vote
shaving). But Candidate B glowers
because he has been preempted!
But in a case where all is crystal and
you could see the trails of what they
did of what really happend. The
obviousness of the crime?
New Theme – Another Theme Reboot
If you haven’t notice yet, my blog is now sporting a new look since last week. After a couple of days of customizing the CSS and PHP scripts, I finally decided to launch the new theme. My blog is now back with the blue and white look which is quite similar to the theme I use last year. Unfortunately, I had to change that theme last 3 (or 4?) months ago because of some incompatibility issues after upgrading to Wordpress 2.3.
