Spouse and Work

Shane Perlman’s writings on Freelanceswitch caught my attention:

“As Donald Trump said recently (and he would know): there is no better way to choke a business than a flailing marriage. Early in our second company, my business mentor spent a lot of time with my wife Julie and I just listening. He would give the same answers over and over. To me - “Happy Wife, Happy Life”. To Julie - “Do you Want to be Right or do you Want to be Happy”. After all, when you fight in the morning, what are you thinking about all day? Your customer’s needs or the fight? Your partner can be your greatest asset or your greatest liability. Invest time and love in them, just as you invest in your business.

Tips: Schedule time for those who matter. You control your calendar, not your business (though it rarely feels that way). Apologize often. Never ever fight dirty - attack the issue all you like - never attack the person. Never say the word “breakup” or “divorce”. Count your blessings every single morning. Learn to speak the right love language and study personalities - that changes absolutely everything.”

I think it’s true indeed and I’m so lucky that I have one. Thanks, Nina.

What kind of blogger I am?

Found this on Avianto’s so I decided to take the test. Well, for someone who post an entry once in 3-6 months, here’s what I am.. (It SHOULD be worse.. akhahaha..)

Greed: -7
You’re not in this for the money, for you blogging is all about the passion! Sure you might make a little pocket change now and again, but you know that it’s the content, the audience and the people that are what makes blogging great!

Experience: -1
You represent one of the thousands of newcomers that take up blogging every year and while others will fall away over time, you are in it for the long haul. It’s only a matter of time before your greatness is apparent to all and sundry!

Sociability: -3
Social media, other bloggers, networks and all that jazz don’t really interest you. You have enough friends in the real world, you don’t need more. You blog because you want to express yourself not to meet bloggers!
