I complained a few times about my manager to their direct line manager, and on one of these occasions he told me that quote. He also imparted wisdom. Instead of getting annoyed, frustrated and bypassing the root of the problem, why not give and receive feedback to move forward together.
There are a lot of resources on how to give and receive feedback but in this article I want to share with you two points, the true cost of not giving feedback, and how to react when you think you are presented with unfair or wrong feedback.
John, on the other side, believes that he has delivered an amazing presentation and that his content was clear. He has no reason to think otherwise unless someone gives him feedback.
It is crazy to think that we prefer to go through all this hassle rather than having one single conversation. A conversation that could make John a better professional and make him grow.
We implement monthly connects where we want our team leaders and their team members to give two-way open and honest feedback with each other on a formalized monthly basis, however we encourage our people to give open feedback on an informal basis, which is vital to make sure that we are moving forward together in such a fast paced, agile organization.
When trying to point people from a mid-tribulation rapture to pre-tribulation rapture for the church, many people would give you a bunch of scripture (2 Thessalonians 1/2, 1 Thessalonians 4, Matthew 24), which certainly teach a pre-tribulation rapture. But I find it more compelling to talk about things a little bigger, more structural.
The first of those is terminology. Ask them to define some terms for you: The Day of the Lord, the Coming of the Lord. Ask them what they think the Trumpet is that Paul talks about in 1 Thessalonians 2, 2 Thessalonians 4, 1 Corinthians 15. Ask for their definition of wrath when it comes to Tribulation.
What you will find when you ask about these terms is that they have misunderstood most or all of them, and as a result that has led them down a path to thinking we are supposed to endure some of the wrath of tribulation, or that we are supposed to stay on the earth until the trumpet judgments. Or they believe tribulation is a purification time for believers. All of these ideas are misconceptions, which can be cleared up by correcting terminology issues.
Much like the old Indian poem about 6 blind men coming upon an elephant for the first time. Each of them are touching a different part of the animal, as they cannot take in the whole of the animal, they can only sense a small part of it and so all of them imagine the animal in the wrong way. One thinks it is like a rope because they are holding the tail. One thinks it is like a tree trunk because they are holding the legs. And so on.
There are many places in the Old Testament you can go to see what we are learning in the New Testament, illustrated in a prefigured way and if you get them straight you make everything else much easier. So when you talk to people about these ideas, it is helpful to bring their mind off of the isolated verses and help them to see the bigger picture in the Scriptures.

keep in mind you can use points from your account or another account to buy tickets for other people the only time it might make sense to transfer is if you are short in one account a 1000 or so to pay for the ticket.
@dfwskier I've always enjoyed seeing your comments and often solutions to the issues/questions folks have in the discussion forum. In this case, you provided for me some solid advise and I took your solution to heart. I just bought two tickets for my son and grandson without the loss of value of the points. I appreciate your insight on this and want to say, THANK YOU, very much.
Agree. There is a small group of individuals that I see on here that provide great insight and information to those who are seeking legit advise and not just to vent or rant on and on. Your personal appreciation is noted, and I will also take the time to make sure I acknowledge that to those others on here I enjoying seeing.
Newly found perk of the Southwest Performance Business credit card is that it will reimburse you for the fees to transfer points to someone else, up to $500 per year. Otherwise, as suggested, don't do it.
Does anyone know if the Southwest Rapid Rewards Performance Business Credit Card perk of $500 point transfer fee reimbursement applies to any point transfers purchased with this card or only transfers made from my account to someone else? In other words, could I use the card to pay for the transfer fees from points someone else wants to gift? I'm curious if the card cares which rapid rewards account the points originate from. I've got a family member who flies SW nearly every week for work. He's A-List Preferred, has the companion pass yearly for his wife and accumulates an insane amount of points. Outside of work, they really don't use the miles. If I wanted to transfer those miles to my RR account, and paid the fee with the business card mentioned above, would those fees be reimbursed to me? The points wouldn't originate from me, but they would end up in my account. Obviously, I can always use his points to book my flights, but I'm just curious about this particular method. I could always just try and see for a small amount of points if no one knows this particular answer.
How many problems actually get solved when a group of coworkers sits in a room, collectively pointing fingers at someone else around the table? Perhaps they are doing so with their sharp words, or perhaps they really are waving their finger in the direction of whoever they see fit to blame for the issue at hand. Is it more constructive to think about who to blame or how to solve the issue? Have I stopped to consider how I might be contributing to the issue as well? Have I considered the three fingers pointing back at myself? Am I helping reach a solution or am I hurting others by assuming motives and jumping to conclusions?
Our world promotes the idea of tolerance. In fact, it seems the only sin is to say that someone else is wrong. The policy of tolerance promotes the unbiblical philosophy that truth is determined by each individual person, not by the moral absolutes of God.
Keeping your goal in mind for your friend is the key when you do need to point out her sin. Make sure to do it with humility because we are all sinners. Make sure to do it in a way that lets her know you care for her. Make sure you show her what your goal is: forgiveness.
In the book, the boys jump hostel to catch a movie and we realise the differences in their outlooks. Alok wants to conform to the system, Ryan wants to beat it and Hari, the narrator is in between while in the movie, Rancho demonstrates right at the beginning that he likes to bathe in public and learn things himself by opening up parts of machines.
Have to agree that Hirani and Abhijat Joshi do a much better job of writing and fleshing out the interview scene and the actors rock it too. We do learn in the book that Hari wanted to be a writer, so here Hirani makes Farhan talk to his Dad about his dream internship with a wild-life photographer.
Well, so almost all of Five Point Someone but for a chapter has found its way into 3 Idiots in one form or the other. And just for that reason alone, Chetan Bhagat ought to have got a story credit right upfront. Coming up with a parallel narrative of what happens 10 years ago alone does not change the entire story, however interesting or entertaining the twists are.
Hirani and Co ought to learn from Vishal Bhardwaj who credited a rather unknown Cajetan Boy for just the idea of Kaminey right at the beginning of the film and even named a character after the screenwriter he met at a seminar.
1. I completely agree with your point.
2. I had started re-reading the book day before I was to watch the movie.
3. I did not have the will and patience to write this stuff. Better explained by my leaving chapters in between. Kudos for the huge job.
Though I did not find the book to be too great and found the movie to be much better than the book, this article has made me change my opinion. Its a brilliant comparison and Iam glad you wrote this. I feel sorry for Chetan, and yes Aamir *was* being a bully by using his star power and by calling Chetan an attention seeker. A clear case of a big production house squashing away a small time writer. Great to see someone with balls of steel call a spade a spade. A great article. Cheers.
I will be glad if you review some tamil movies as well. There are quite a lot of people who review English & Hindi movies but hardly anyone who writes good tamil movie reviews. You might save me time, energy and $$ by just mentioning the tamil movies that are worth watching. I am enjoyed reading your articles in The Hindu and am enjoying reading your blog even more. So keep writing!
Well said Sudhish Bhai.. Talented writers like Bhagat should be groomed and encouraged.. if they get bogged down by such ill acts by the superstars and filmmakers, then the quality of Indian movies will be stagnant.. i appreciate your guts..
My take is that the credit given was what it was worth. They did say it was based on the novel. The basic thread of the story is different and as per screen play, the book gets about 20% on screen time.
look at a harry potter film, there the story is maintained, with little changes. here even the love story that is the main part of the book is not kept as it is.
