Cabo da Roca, Portugal

ドイツの田舎では庭に鳥小屋を置いている家をよく見かけます。
これは鳥を飼うためのものではなく、野生の鳥にえさをあげるためのものです。
私の家の大家さんもいつもひまわりの種を鳥小屋の中に置いています。
時々そこにえさを食べに来ている鳥を見ることができます。
私の家の庭には大きな木があり、窓から木に止まっている鳥を見ることができます。
先週、ドイツの家の庭で見ることができる鳥の種類を描いたポスターを買いました。私はドイツに来るまで野生の鳥にあまり興味がありませんでした。でも今はこのポスターを見ながら、「今日はこれを見たよ」とか「この種類はまだ見たことがないね」とパートナーと言って楽しんでいます。

日本で鳥といえば、カラスやハトですよね。カラスはゴミをあさったり、ハトはベランダにふんをしたりするので私は正直嫌いでした。

The Missing Element in All Types of Interviews

In a job interview, make your case fast and be sure your suit is pressed, too. But it's not what the recording is about :) 

You might laugh, but it takes a few seconds for an experienced HR manager to decide on the outcome of the interview.

One of my students from China working as a general manager for a luxury firm said, "Oh, Anatoly, I watch for the words they use; if they have a victim mentality, the chances of them succeeding with us are low.". 

What are you going to do now after reading this?

I mean, I hear these remarks by my students who are top managers—they don't want to hear any kind of whining or complaining about the past. All they care about is how successfully you are going to assist and support the company's evolution and growth!

The winner's attitude is what they are looking for, and to be honest, it's a rare-case scenario.

If you check with yourself, what do you like? A complainer? A thrilled and excited individual? Are you happy about the changes, or does the future seem dark and gloomy?

Top managers got themselves trained to pick those nuanses, and so do I, as I've had top performers as my students for 8 years, and I did close to 21 thousand meetings with them—it's evident!

Let me know if this text was an eye-opener for you. I would be for me!!!
