On knowledge sharing and dissemination

... when circulating a working paper for comments, never put on "citations only permitted with the permission of author"

or "no parts of this paper can be used without permission of author". Rather, say "when using parts of this paper please give proper citation and help yourself". Be delighted if someone wants to quote you ... (p.7)

Jewel in the stream Part 2 ...


The JEWEL ... 

you are a jewel ... the lady wife concluded, after i submitted to her test ... 

... masyaAllah sure i know i  am the jewel ... i am my father's jewel (i always feel my younger brother is my mother's jewel ... there ... siblings rivalry for you) ... i replied with a laughed ...

but i am sure you have something else in mind right ... i probed ...

your being a jewel here means you are a left brain thinker ... the gentleman husband explained

oh okay ... logical, analytical thinker you mean ... i  responded ...

so what does that mean to you ... i asked

that means you are methodological and systematic in your life  ... you know what you want to do and how to do it ... you know where you want to go ... you prefer to do things yourself rather than get it done through someone who will not do it the way you want it done ... you are a perfectionist ... the characteristics of a Jewel

ho ho ho ... this tells me i am a very bad manager ... because i can't delegate things ... i laughed ...

... but i want to be a flower ... i laughed again ... (while remembering the rose that dear MP has bestowed in me)

and i love the stream ... why can't i be the stream ... and what does a stream mean ... i asked ... (cikgu cakap double-barreled question ni)

definitely i am not the shaker ... that i know ... because i know i can't lead despite being born first ... but i know i am good at supporting ... i elaborated for them further ...

okay ... let us check your secondary character ...

i want to be the flower ... the flower ... i jokingly said ...

... your secondary character is the stream ... also a left brain thinker ... the  lady wife said after another round of tests ...

similar to Jewel ... they have focus ... directed flow ... the gentleman husband explained ...

okay... then ...

i am a JEWEL IN THE STREAM ... i concluded with a laugh ...

~

now friends ... you must forgive me if this sound familiar to you ... but this is my first encounter of this kind of interpretation about the self ...

~
i am familiar with the ...

Honey and Mumford: Learning Styles Questionnaire

of  ... Activist ... Reflector ...Theorist ... Pragmatist 

and Briggs-Myer Personality Test that i was subjected to when i applied to work in a company

 and other team compatibility test etc. etc ...

~

but i like this method of characterising one self ... based upon nature ... and natural objects ...

Shaker ... Flower ... Jewel ... Stream

~

Still i know very little about this ... but it was a lovely conversation ...

with a couple interested in helping people identify their strengths and weaknesses for a better and holistic person ...

~

dear friends ...  my conclusion

our strengths are in "what we are" which we can use to excel ... and our gaps are in "what we wish to be" which we can learn to bridge ...

~

Love and Salam :)

 p/s: now ... should i continue to part 3 ... ?

    Real:

    I kinda think you are perfect melancholy/ phlegmatic. May be that is the reason I am comfortable with u becoz I am the opposite of ur character. * a powerful choleric/sanguine *

    and yes, sweetheart u are a JEWEL. :-) But you knew that already.

    x MP

      MP Dear ... every interaction brings in new knowledge ... and again this is new to me ... i think this temperament test is used in service industries such as yours ...

      ... for those who wish to know more ... a basic understanding may be obtained here ...

      http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_temperaments

      ... i like the smiley faces used to represent the temperaments ... but bila copy & paste here ... tak kuar pule ... :) so kawan-kawan who wish to know more ziarahlah si wiki ...

      love and salam MP ... thank you for sweet words ... and i am sure we all know what we wish to be ... the BEST IN CONTEXT ...:)

    salam Real,
    dah lama tak singgah.. now tengah tersangkut dengan novels..blog sendiri pun alah2 malas nak update :)

    just this morning i had conversation with mr.hubs..dok sembang camno his cousin earns so much sbb he has set the right foot in his career from the beginning.. nak jump keje pun senang.. unlike mr.hubs.. nak jump keje pun susah..then i told him.. he has to look at his strength.. emphasis on what he does best.. degree is just a qualification..and many yang graduate benda lain, but success in other field..

    the key point is like you said use our strength to excel :)

    by the way, i think i pun lebih kurang macam you.. ciri-ciri tu banyak persamaan..hehe :D

    ... Love and Salam :)
