My daughter's making me proud again

Steffi got the highest honor in their class! It's reason enough for me to be happy!

Her being in rank one didn't happen by coincidence. Her average for the fourth grading period is 96.75 %. My hubby and I really exerted all possible effort to review her in all exams and to guide her in all her assignments. In fact, there were times that I asked her to redo her assignments if I wasn't satisfied with it. For assignments, I always tell Stef that she must do her best and never settle for "pwede na" because her assignment is a reflection of the best she can do --

Anyway, Stef ranked number 8 in extra-curricular activities (this is 30% only of the grade) because she got sick when activities in their school were at its peak. But she got really high average for the whole academic year (70% of the final grade) so she topped the list of honors!

Now I owe her a surprise gift on the March 21 --that's the recognition day :-)

Management Lessons from GUNG HO

'I must recognize that man achieves the highest degree of efficiency when he plays. If someone says he works out of loyalty to the company, he is a damned liar.' ----Soichiro Honda Founder-millionaire Honda Motor Co., Ltd. When a company fails, who should take the blame? When the workers complain, who should do some reflections, the management or the workers themselves? Hunt Stevenson, in the movie GUNG HO (means to WORK TOGETHER) , needed to do some reflections before it was too late. His failure to do some actions would result in closure of Assan Motors, thereby leaving hundreds of American laborers unemployed. According to Robert Heller, the author of the article EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT: TAKING RESPONSIBILITY, "How the boss behaves has a profound effect on how other managers perform - and thus on the performance of the entire outfit. That's a self-evident truth, acknowledged by most people. But few bosses acknowledge the corollary: that inferior performance is partl...

Levels Earned, Lessons Learned in SHAIYA

The holy week was not really holy for me. This was time of the year when I played hard. Really played hard, as in trying to make the toon level every time I logged in . And to help my toon level up, even my husband and my daughter would play with her. This year, my toon is DanieGanda. Danie, for the record, is my daughter's nick name. But I thought of adding the word "Ganda," which is a tagalog term for Beauty. DanieGanda is a human priest in the normal mode. As the rule in Shaiya, a player won't be able to create a character in the hard mode [here, toons are stronger] without first reaching level 40 in the normal mode, which is a level lower than HM. When DanieGanda started, she was power leveled by king-kruller, whom DanieGanda met while my daughter was playing the toon. King_kruller was als o Danie's first friend in Shaiya. At the moment, he's already level 58, UM. The experience was good for Danie was able to meet players from different walks o...
