THE CHOICE OF THE RIGHT STEP

I walk along a crowded street near our school. Suddenly, I notice a lady who falls down out of her steps in front of me. I feel pity for the fallen girl whom a lot of people are staring at in this instance. I draw beside her and help her stand back. I softly tap her back and ask whether or not she is fine. Then, the lady affirms that she is fine and thanks me for the concern. We continue walking together as if nothing happens.

This is truly a life-relating anecdote. Why? Because it portrays one of the many possibilities in life—failing. We, as imperfect creations sometimes fail our own quests. It is sometimes our fate to fail and fate is the outcome of our unwise decisions. There are moments when we start walking confidently through our paths, but as we take our steps, chances of falling down meet our way. Same thing to life, moments come that God gives us the opportunity to live in harmony yet what we think harmonious does not remain forever. For us to learn the relevant lessons in life, we also need to experience the essence of failing or lacking something. Through this, we will remember how it will feel having nothing aside from anything or failing aside from winning.

Most probably, we always hear the line that says, “Nobody is perfect”. This means that everybody bears imperfections. No one can really afford an impeccable living because failing has become part of people’s living.

However, failure contributes a positive effect or advantage to a person. I can say that failure contributes learning for the person concerned. Every time we fail, most likely, at the same time, we learn our lessons. As we learn, our knowledge about proper decision making will be developed and as we stand back and continue our journey, we will become more aware of taking the best and safest step but still mindful of the possibilities for deterioration. :)

What Kind of Listener Are You?

Photo from Google Every one of us listens and tries to relate to some of the conversations which we may belong. We listen, yet all of us do not have the same reason why we do this. In addition, we also do not have the uniform way of listening to someone. Yes, the skill that we perform is the same but our intention or manner of doing this varies in some different ways. Perhaps, you have not heard nor grasped the categories or types of listeners yet, but this article will surely help you to be mindful on this matter. The following classifications are enlisted by Bernales (2010): a. Eager Beaver This kind of listener presumes that he really has the heart of listening. He, most of the time, looks straightly to the one talking to him and sometimes nods and smiles as if he fully understands the words being said. The act of this particular listener is very deceiving but if he surely understands what he is listening of, that should be a very big question mark. b. Sleeper

Launching Soon: UpTraining

They say, "Go wherever your heart desires," and then one night, when I was reflecting on some LinkedIn contents, I realized I have always been inspired by these posts and people behind them, so I thought I would want to do the same for others. Since I have this Blogspot I created years ago, and have been idle for too long, I thought I'd use this as a platform to get started. In the coming days, I would start posting useful and inspiring articles specially targeted to call center trainers like me, those who work in Training and Development department, and even those who are wanting to become one in the future. Furthermore, I'd be featuring Day of a Life of a Trainer, professional tips and advices, best practices, and a lot more. I am naming this blog: UpTraining , which is a common yet relatable term to anyone in this profession. I am so excited to launch this personal project, and I hope to learning with you soon. See you!
