| | Dammit. Dammit dammit dammit! / The Simple WaySigh... I'm emotionally exhausted. 
Apparently, I read Sung's "Open Letter To Xanga" (Ugh, didn't know Dan is that much of a, um, "fashion trend setter" here. *sigh*  ). I guess I didn't hate the post, but what I hated are the comments bashing Christianity. *sigh*
I don't take it against people who don't believe on other people's beliefs, only I would like it if they could respect it. I don't care if it's any other religion, thing is those people who attacks other people's beliefs don't deserve to be respected.
One thing about me: I hate immature, narrow-minded people.* Especially if they're out of their teens. I mean-oh for the love of sweet, fresh, luscious, plump bananas, grow up, WILL YA???
So there.
I almost punched the laptop (sorry, laptop), but I guess it can't be helped.
Anyway, there's no point in getting hyped up about it, getting angry and dissing them all. They're not worth my time, anyway.
Lemme go off to another topic (yaaayy!!!).
And no, it will not be about the meaning of the word "Yaaayy" (my apologies to FMB and VaultESL). I'm saving it for another time.
Remember I told you about me being the VP of an org, right? Remembah?
Well, our PM (Prime Minister, a.k.a. president) emailed us the Calendar of Activities, a format for our Project Proposals (including the Budget Proposal) and also some tasks that we are going to do.
When I saw all the files before me, I only thought of four things:
- What the friggin' heck?
- What am I going to do?
- How am I going to finish all these tasks?
- God, help me.
So, as I was lookin' at the Budget Proposal, Calendar of Activities and all those shizzle in the dizzle, I've suddenly come up with how to (theoretically speaking) manage all those things and, being a leader, I naturally thought of how I'm going to implement my leadership.
Ladies, Gents and Monkeys, I present to you:
The Simple Way (okay, that has GOT to be the lamest title I've ever created, but I have no idea what name to give it, so go figure)
Anyway:
The Simple Way
- Maximize benefits by minimalizing costs
- Gain leadership by losing control and power
- Strengthen reliability by weakening people's expectations
Okay, let's start with the easiest.
#3: Strengthen reliability by weakening people's expectations
As a leader, I tend to expect so much of myself, often to my dismay, as I am a person and not a computer. I've thought of this much, and I found out that I feel the most satisfied when I've accomplished something that I never expected I could accomplish. I thought that if this applies to me, it should (theoretically speaking) apply to people. I mean, this is actually basic Business concept: the most successful products are products that give more value to customers than what its description actually says.
#2: Gain leadership by losing control and power
As a leader, I've always tried to set an example: I tried to be a hardworking little twerp thinking people would be driven by my motivation to work. Of course, that is not actually true (I learned that in a -hard- way). Some people would actually ABUSE you. And that, my friend, is a frustrating, heart-wrenching situation, and you could seriously injure a penis if you're not careful (uh, yeah, don't kick them there). So I've come up with a different take on things: be a leader by delegating work to individuals and enjoy the comfort of your sofa.  Nah, just kidding about the sofa thing, but yeah. Be a leader by creating leaders (if that makes sense). If your followers know that they're learning from you, and they're getting the tasks done (which are goal-oriented, of course), then you, my friend, are on your way to becoming the next American Idol a successful leader.
#1 Maximize benefits by minimalizing costs
This is sort of the same with #3. Sort of. What I mean here is to maximize the benefits of my org by minimalizing costs of projects. I mean, that's just logical to me. I am not going to deny the fact that it is just a budding org and that we have NEXT TO NIL monetary fund. It would be proven positive for the org if we accept that yes, we're broke. So if we could make project that would not actually cost more than what we have, that would be good (plus it will save our asses from having so much debts and losses). That is not impossible, it is only near impossible, but still possible. Hey, we're not studying in Commerce and Business Administration for nothing. Resource allocation should be our THING.
So there, my friends, that is the reason why I entitled this post "Dammit. Dammit dammit dammit! / The Simple Way". This post is nowhere near simple, so I'm sorry and I hope you actually read the whole post. Thank you.
