너를 안으면 풀꽃 냄새가 난다
세상에 오직 하나 있는 꽃,
아무도 이름 지어 주지 않는 꽃,
네게서는 나만 아는 풀꽃 냄새가 난다.

A Personal Mission Statement is a concise (usually 1-3 sentences) summary of your core values, aspirations, and the impact you want to make in life. It's your personal guiding principle, a compass that helps you navigate decisions and goals. Unlike a resume objective statement focusing on a specific job, a Personal Mission Statement is broader, encompassing your entire life journey.

Here's what a Personal Mission Statement typically captures:

Values: What principles are most important to you? (e.g., honesty, creativity, helping others)
Goals: What do you want to achieve in life? (e.g., build a strong family, make a positive difference in the world, achieve financial security)
Impact: How do you want to be remembered? What legacy do you want to leave behind?
Crafting a Personal Mission Statement is a self-discovery process. Reflect on what motivates you, what brings you joy, and the kind of person you want to be. Here are some prompts to get you started:

What are my strengths and passions?
What kind of world do I want to contribute to?
What impact do I want to have on the lives of others?
Remember, a Personal Mission Statement is a living document. It can evolve as you grow and your priorities shift. Reviewing it regularly can help you stay focused and make choices aligned with your true north.

Here's an example of a Personal Mission Statement:

To use my creativity and passion for science to develop innovative solutions that address environmental challenges, leaving a sustainable future for generations to come. 
This statement highlights the core value of environmental responsibility, the goal of innovation, and the desired impact of a sustainable future.

ときどき、という言葉はみなさん知っていますか？
ときどき、は頻度(ひんど)を表す言葉です。

英語だと、frequencyですかね。
どれぐらい〜しますか？と聞かれたときなどに答えることができます。

私がよく使う言葉を紹介します。

いつも
よく
けっこう
ときどき
たまに
あまり〜ない
ほとんど〜ない
めったに〜ない
ぜんぜん〜ない

などを使います。

例文を言いながら、少し説明します。

Talent is important, especially when you have dreams and goals. However, talent alone won't bring you anywhere. It is because you need work ethics too. In this podcast, I will share some personal insights about talent vs. hard work.

FLO TALKS 

HARD WORK BEATS TALENT IF TALENT DOES NOT WORK HARD

Lack of recognition occurs when an individual’s contributions, achievements, or hard work go unacknowledged or unrewarded. This oversight can significantly impact employee motivation, engagement, and job satisfaction. When employees feel undervalued, they may experience decreased morale, reduced productivity, and increased turnover. Recognition is a fundamental human need, and its absence can create a negative work environment. Organizations that fail to recognize their employees' efforts risk damaging their employer brand and hindering their ability to attract and retain top talent. Effective recognition programs are essential for fostering a positive and productive workplace culture.

Examples:

Overlooking achievements: Failing to acknowledge employee accomplishments.

Inequitable rewards: Distributing rewards unfairly or inconsistently.

Lack of public acknowledgment: Not recognizing employees in front of peers.

Ignoring employee feedback: Disregarding employee suggestions or ideas.

Insufficient appreciation: Failing to express gratitude for employees' contributions.

Employees feeling undervalued should take proactive steps. This might involve documenting accomplishments, seeking feedback on performance, and initiating conversations with supervisors about career goals and recognition expectations. It's essential to maintain a professional and constructive approach, focusing on the impact of their work rather than personal feelings.  Ultimately, advocating for oneself is crucial in a work environment where recognition might be lacking.

Addressing lack of recognition requires a multifaceted approach. Organizations should implement formal recognition programs, provide opportunities for peer-to-peer recognition, and create a culture where appreciation is valued. By investing in employee recognition, organizations can reap the benefits of increased job satisfaction, improved employee engagement, and enhanced organizational performance.
