Maintain boundaries...

To remember to read the book "Boundaries" at least once a month! What I will try to remember from the book is that I am only responsible for my emotions (eg sadness) and can not be responsible for another person's emotions (eg happiness). They are responsible for their emotions. I should always always act in a moral and ethical way but I can not hold myself responsible for someone else's feelings. I am still very uncomfortable with this idea for now, so I need to dwell on it for a while...

Working with the world...

Remember to be very clear with non-Asians. They do not understand the Chinese whispers!
I need to tell them loud and clear that this is what exactly is expected from you. And not feel bad about this way of doing things, as this is very normal way of doing things for them. I need to get over my own feelings about the process to adapt its style to best suit the receiver.

Follow your gut...

To remember, in business, when I feel something is wrong, then something is wrong! It become clear/ real after some time. In the meantime, I need to remember to follow my instinct and not be carried away by market and media.

Is there a boundary to giving?

**What I will remember from today... struggling with setting boundaries today.

Wondering if it is better to give and give without measure and hope that it will be a happy end. Or is it better to set the boundaries of give and take upfront first and then work towards achieving them next.

I feel that, unfortunately, when I am giving I am expecting (unsaid) returns as well in the long-term and I am unable to get rid of these expectations in my head! :(

Wonder, if I should work more on my head or work more on trying a different model...
