That POWER of TINY GAINS!

That POWER of TINY GAINS can never be under-estimated, from WHICHEVER perspective one may want to look at it [OR EVEN IF one refuses to look at it].  WHETHER it is at your home OR over at the workplace, the best way to motivate folks will more often cut across the power of SMALL GAINs that would eventually be compounding to become BIG WINs.  Problem is, for many of us [and I was one of the guilty ones in the past] all want BIG WINs📗📙📘

WHEN I would go malling or even just window-shopping, I am disheartened [if NOT appalled] to interact with customer-facing sales people with sort of 'weak batteries' OR witnessing manifestations that they seem to be ill BUT are left with NO choice BUT to report for work.  BUT as I DON'T have the legitimate reason to be nosy, I simply commiserate with them💚💛💜

Through the years, I always fervently believed that nothing contributed more to motivating people than seeing them achieve progress in meaningful work, even if such progress are like 'baby-like' steps.  Because if a person is motivated and happy at the end of the workday, it could be as safe bet that he OR she did achieve something, however small.  On the other hand, if a person drags out of the workplace disengaged and joyless, a setback is likely to blame there💧💧💧

That progress principle would suggests that we could exert more influence than people may see it as imminently coming and WHAT better way to motivate with RECOGNITION [and sometimes REWARDS] being manifested. BUT be cautioned with regard REWARDS because generally, those 'feel good' feelings will be very fleeting and WON'T last for long.  WHICH means, WHEN we recognize someone, it has to be discerned as sincere enough else it might boomerang back to you, ouch💥💥💥

Our takeaway:  Much as we are pitching for those TINY GAINS, let us be conscious and aware that minor setbacks or those small losses can sometimes create a negative effect on us.  BUT to fix is NOT akin to like curing cancer BUT instead, that person himself must make himself accountable to arrest that skid before it goes south and deeper down south.  The actions that will set things in motion is more important during those oblivious times of slip-ups, of flip-outs, of slidings.  Frankly, if you ask me WHY ,many of us have NOT realized OR achied many more SMALL GAINS in life, sadly, it's because of our propensity to go for the BIG KILL, the BIG WIN.  WHAT's wrong with the bread crumbs dude if that will save us from getting hungry!@#$%?
