there are no easy work with good pay

Hi, there. I hope that everyone has good weekend.

Last few weeks I traveled a lot all over Japan to deliver some workshops. Tonight I am going Singapore to attend the meeting and run the workshop for one client.

There are some new projects going with one new client, but they can't draw the line between what they should do and what we should do in the projects.

We are making best efforts to help the project moving foward but when they hear the feed-back from other sections and other managers, they turn around.

We made the contents and tools which they ordered for us a few months ago. Then last minutes they asked us to change the contents, delivery methods and requests.

Let's take a look at following situation

Man A " Can I have a draft beer please"

Bartender "Which one do you like? We have Bud light, Coors and Hineken."

Man A "Hineken please"

During the bartender is preparing the Hineken draft, Man A was talking to his friend.

Man B " This place is famous for whiskey, why do you drink a draft beer, stupid?"

Bartender came back with the beer

then Man A suddenly said "I felt like to have the whiskey, I didn't want to beer, you are forced me to have a beer, it is your fault. So bring the whiskey ASAP!"


Who should be blamed under this situation? Man A, Man B or Bartender.

At the moment I am in the situation like Bartender.


If you act like Man A , please be careful in near future, no bartender(consultant or vendor) will serve you any services.

Staying home over the long weekend

When I was a corporate man, I used to have the plan somewhere over the long-weekend. But long-weekend holiday plan is usually more expensive than other normal week and most of tourist places became crowded.

My present work business trainer and coach are required to work over the weekend, so we could not plan those holiday plans in advance.

Most of time itenary and accomodations are decided in last minutes.

Now up to Xmas we have three months to go, but I can't make the plan for that.

My good friend livining in Vitnam asked me to go over there and othre good friend asked to me come over Singapore.

Because of economic turmoil we limit the budget for holiday so destination will be limitede within Asia.

Well, when I can have the enough time and money to travel around the world.
