People Management

Something about what I learnt today:

It is called perception bias. It is very funny, because after what I have realised after today's tutorial, then I start to ask myself whether I am committing the same kind of mistakes.

I always tell myself that when I treat people, I must givem them the due benefit of doubt and treat them with all sincerity. And so far I think I have. But I can dare say that all of us commit some sort of perception bias here and there when we judge people, i.e., who is good, who is bad, who is cunning, who plays a political game always, etc. I am not saying that our judgements are wrong, but what I am saying is that we should be fair to all people when we assess each other. And be fair too in receiving criticisms from third party observers because they can see best from where we sometimes cannot even see from.

The moral of the story: Be sincere. Be truthful. Be professional. Be loyal. And lastly, have no agendas when you want to make friends. You make friends because you truly want them to be your companions along the road that is your life.

In a way, this is a censure to all political animals. They will all get their desserts.
