Unintended and Intended Causes and Effects of Training

It is common knowledge that nothing happens without a reason.  There are always causes and conditions and they in turn will produce effects, which will in turn become causes and effects and this goes on.  They called this Dependent Origination, which simply means everything originates from something (read here for the details).   As explained in our previous article on sales, you can use this understanding to boost your effectiveness quickly.  

Today I will talk about Training: what causes people to do training and what are the effects of training.  First training is defined as any learning that is more structured, less informal and not unconscious.  So if you unconsciously learn how to cook better or you hear from friends how to do a better Facebook posting, that is not strictly training as it is called Self Learning.  Therefore training is always coming from somewhere outside you, and the driver of training is usually from someone other than yourself. 

For example, if your boss finds that you are lacking in negotiation skills, your boss will send you for training on negotiation and that is training.  This is called Skill Deficit and is the first cause.

Recently companies do training because it is a trend, as many who have been trained realized that they have become a better person, not just in skills, but also in outlook and personality.  This second cause is Follow the Crowd.

Realizing this, the government gives out PIC 60% cash back to companies that do training, thus this becomes the 3rd most common reason for training: Government Funding.  Read here for details on PIC and what not to do in PIC claims to avoid going to jail.  

Of course there are those people who do training because they cannot resist a good deal from the training provider: Take Advantage of Deals is the 4th cause.  Click here for an example of a 49% discount deal.  

The 5th and most important cause of training is Afraid to Lose.  Companies don't want to lose out to their competitors and thus they have to send their staff for training.  To staff training is considered as a form of staff welfare: either you give me higher salary or give me welfare.  Learn the 36 Stratagems and never be deceived again. 

The following are the 6 Effects of Training:  (see here on how to reap the benefits of training)
  1. More Money: Higher sales, higher productivity, lesser wastage, improved cashflow, higher margins, lower risks and ultimately higher profits.  Who don't want more money?
  2. More Learning.  We often seen our students coming back to us for more courses, they also asked us to suggest another training provider or give them some links and learning references
  3. More Positive Outlook. People become more positive, more proactive and will take on more responsibility after training. This is because they now realize that they can do much more than what they are doing now as the training gives them lost of tools and strategies.  One example is this course at here
  4. More Instant Solutions to Daily Problems.  This must be the biggest benefit of training: you can get all your major work issues resolved (just ask the trainer during the course). 
  5. Use more than 10% of Your Brain.  Most people never use more than 10% of their brain, and some are even proud of that!  With training, your mind is expanded and expounded, and you are never the same person again!  (Click here on how to use more of your brain today)
  6. More Happiness.  Because of the above effects, people are more happy after training and you can see from their positiveness and laughters after training

Kindness as a Way of Life: How Kindness can Reward You 6 Times Over

Kindness as a Way of Life by Andy Ng Kindness is a universal language that transcends cultural boundaries, enriches human connections, and has the power to transform lives. It goes beyond mere acts of charity or random good deeds. To me, kindness, when practiced as a way of life, becomes a profound philosophy that can shape our interactions with others, the world around us, and even our own well-being. In this article, we will explore the multifaceted aspects of kindness as a way of life, touching on non-violent communication, the limitations of traditional charity, the potential harms of helping, the deliberate cultivation of kindness, and the incredible rewards it brings. 1.       Non-Violent Communication Non-violent communication (NVC) is a key component of practicing kindness as a way of life. Developed by Marshall B. Rosenberg, NVC emphasizes empathetic communication that seeks to understand and connect with others on a deeper level. It encourages active listening, empath

New Age Mobile Numerology

Many people look at 'mobile number change luck' with skepticism, they say, how can just one simple mobile number change create so many changes in a person's life?   Also, the mobile numbers are given to us by random by the telcos, how can our fate be assigned by the telcos at random? Besides, isn't it true that our lives and fates are determined by birth and what we do, how can a small mobile number, which is a modern invention, have any effect?  How about people in the past without mobile numbers?  You mean they don't have a life without mobile numbers, right? One more thing: you cannot just change your mobile number and expect your life to change. If this is so, wouldn't everybody be rich just by changing their mobile numbers? Finally, isn't this kind of fortune-telling thing more of psychology and blind faith than science?   If so, how can we trust anything that is not proven and not science? Today let's resolve all these doubts and I welcome your co

If Not You, Who Else?

I learnt this very powerful 5-word phrase from Singapore's highest ever box-office movie ever: "Ah Boys to Men II". In one scene, the recruits were about to start their 3-day field camp.  Their Officer-in-Command asked them, "Before we moved out, anybody not feeling well?"  All the soldiers replied loudly, "No Sir!!!" "Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow!  What a powerful phrase!  If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you.  This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot
