"Competition between individuals sets one against the other and undermines morale, but competition between organizations builds morale and encourages creativity." - George Washington Allston
Do we need to develop the idea above?
While bosses after bosses are promoting competition between employees, we have thinkers believing that TEAM work is better for ANY ORGANIZATION.
When we have the knowledge about modern leadership approach and we see the "old school" alive in some companies, we get sad and hopeless in first place, then, after talking to some friends, we realize we have a "mission" with the workers of the companies (fed up of warning letters and investigations!) and with better results ($$$$$).
The idea is to find the right road to make everyone happy.
It will oblige us to change some concepts and measurements in our judgments.

After listening to some leaders, the only word that echoes in all speeches is PEOPLE.
They say: WHO before WHAT.
Let's embrace the idea.
Faith and reason, we will reach there!

In Sao Paulo
The city is still crazy and agressive.
The traffic jam as insane as never.
People in the same speed - fast mode - going up and down non stop.
Everything the same.
Well, some streets are in another direction! Some shops closed and some moved from where I used to know them!
People still struggling to survive with small salaries and having fun on simple things.
Sao Paulo is the same.
I changed. And I am happy I did.
This almost two years were good for me in Kuwait.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Went to a training with Marynes Pereira. Tools for management.
The conversations about how to do the right thing according to the owners perspective was the theme.
The tip she shared was: do the right thing thinking about profits. We will always think about the staff, the owners about the money. It is possible to do both and the staff will get benefits from money directed actions.
I just have to think... How to do it... And how to convince narrow minds to see the benefits of happy employees? That's my challenge from now on. Together with keeping hope among instructors.
I hope God gives me strength for such a mission. Power I need now.
All my experience from this life and the others be present now within me.

Frequencies
My friend Edu Barbezan was chatting with me on Facebook today.
Suddenly he asked: are you ok? I got amazed by the power of this man. He knew I was disturbed by no reason.
Out of the blues he was telling me not to get into bad, low, underdeveloped people's energy frequency. And he is absolutely right! I've been so much into this job that I got trapped into the bad energy of the sick people that work with me.
Negativity and envy feelings seam to make a net of dark energy that was able to confuse me for a while.
I can see the light now!
God by my side, I can do anything!
I can face the dark, the envy, the bad energies.
God by my side, I can be who I am fearless.
The cowards will fear me. The unfair will regret talking about me.
Justice will prevail.
God by our sides, we are powerful and respected.
Thank you GOD for showing me your love.
I will be eternally grateful and will show you by my actions from now on.
Because I am Marcia Novo.

Decisions
A great conversation with one of my best/new friends here in Kuwait this morning made me happy for a while.
We were talking about options God puts in front of us to chose. And depending on the amount of opportunities we have, there lies the amount of responsibilities we decided to take in this life.
No opportunities at all - you are really stubborn and life will give one path to walk as you cannot chose anything!
Simple, isn't it?!
Not that simple...
In the first case: many options, we have a huge task to accomplish- chose the right path! And who on Earth knows which is the right path, please?! Any path is a good path - consequences will come from that for sure, independently from which road we chose to go. So the multiple choices make life more complicated instead of helping. Another aspect to consider is that we might think people with more than one choice in life are superior or more able to chose. In fact they have much more trouble to go through than the opposite case.
And...the opposite case. You were left with few options or only one road to travel. Disgrace? Bad luck? Divine providence?
Maybe all of them or none of them. For sure we can say that your life will be easier than the fellows above, full of ways, full of themselves because they have options in life and you were left with one job for 23 years and are still leaving in the house you were born! You've got to be happy with that! It was designed for you to take easy in this life. Maybe next life you will have 3 job offers waiting for you: Sheraton Manager in London, Business Development Manager in Dubai and Hotel Recreation Manager in Bora Bora!
You see, life can turn into a living hell when you are a developed individual...
