Prince: Time to Change a little...

He believes that correct working attitude is important for an executive. From the past few years working in a few companies, he has managed to change his working attitude from extreme to moderate. He needs to be more flexible to adapt to the external environment (human factor).

He realized that in work, he tends to be over-aggressive, impulsive, stubborn and soft-hearted. Somehow, he managed to position himself moderately, and now, he believes that it is time to focus on his personal attitude which may bring bad consequences if no action were taken.

He had a sharing session with Simmy and Cath, and they were talking about each others weaknesses and strength. To be a better human being, he believes, there’s a need for change or to say, to eliminate those habit / character that deems ‘bad’ for a person. How you perceive certain thing may be different from others, as you are affected by your cognitive bias experience. For a person to change there’s a need to first identify the weaknesses. He has identified a few of his, and decided to change it as soon as possible, to avoid the outbreak of the negativity from those weaknesses.

Transparency

Initially, he thought transparency can bring high security within the circle, but in fact ‘too transparent’ may create chaos and intimidation. Transparent can stay within a group of people, but not a bunch of human being. He always believes to maintain transparent in relationship, friendship and family. However, he also realizes that ‘too transparent’ will create the sense of intimidation to people around.

Different people will have different level of transparency, which they take matter in a more ‘personalized’ manner. He realizes the underlying problem and has been very discreet recently, however, to certain people’s point of view; still, it isn’t seen to be enough. He does not want to repeat the mistake once more, and decided to write more about himself without involving any parties “unnecessarily”, especially in his own relationship.

Confidence

He is very confident in what he said and does, but sometimes his confidence may be perceived as over-confident by others party. That leads to annoyance, and create unnecessary argument in return. Perhaps, the way he carries himself has shown the ‘signal’ of over-confidence, or, the way he communicates on certain topic or issues. He shall be more careful in communicating his opinion and suggestion in future.

Nagging

He nags sometimes, and in fact he has realized this problem long ago, and has been trying hard to control it. He also believes that this will bring a tremendous impact in his circle of friend and relationship. Over-caring may be one of the reason as well.

Perfection

He always looks for perfection in himself, and sometime, the urge for perfection lingers on to his circle where he tends to exert control on others. He believes that nothing comes in perfect, and must learn to accept this fact. Even though he believes that the thought for perfection can help him improve, but without controlling his ‘spirit’ of perfection, will only bring him problem in return. He shall be more careful in future.
