Are you task-oriented or goal-oriented at work?
A lot of employees, their work is task-oriented, because task-oriented work is easy, they do what they are told, they never put their soul into it, and they don't know whether their soul is better used or lost.

To Be Honest
There are a number of specific phrases that lying persons are said to use when exaggerating the truthfulness of their spoken or written words. One of the most commonly mentioned of these is the phrase “to be honest.” The use of this particular phrase reveals an overemphasis on truthfulness which is often listed as an indicator that someone is lying. Recently a friend called me out during a discussion for using the phrase, and suggested I was likely lying because of it. I am no different than any other human being alive, and cannot claim that I never have, or never do, lie, however in this case I was being perfectly honest (and there I go again overemphasizing my truthfulness, am I lying about not lying? No I am not.) Later I caught myself using the phrase again in an email and again, in that particular case, I was not lying, or dissembling, or misleading in any way.

A Good Cup of Coffee
We’ll be arriving soon, shortly after seven. It is nearly half past six in the morning, the first I’ve seen this time of day since I got onto the train. I dare not leave my compartment now. Besides, it seems like Mrs. Finch has made up with her husband. All I have to do is sit back and breathe. I might even close my eyes. I have my notes to pass along, but I’ve decided to wait as long as possible to give them to the car attendant.

Is Our Knowledge Real? - The Illusion of Control
Knowledge is a finite entity, but one that we feel is abundant. Despite the small proportions that we consume regularly, one cannot seemingly encompass all there is to learn, for reality is too foreboding.

I Do, Therefore I Am
Somewhere in an exploited developing country a sweatshop worker squints and expertly dodges their fingers as they sew a name brand logo onto a shirt. A college student sits down for a 3 hour study session after coming from yoga and working a cover shift for a co-worker at Starbucks. An office worker burns the midnight oil and stays an extra 2 hours after the boss has long gone home to stay on top of upcoming deadlines. What do all three of these scenarios have in common? They’re all falling gracefully into the roll of being good productive members of society. And while I understand that in some cases this is a necessity, there are too many cases where people willingly choose this lifestyle of overexertion; wearing their exhaustion as a badge of honour. We’ve built our great nation on the backs of people like these. Millionaires have become billionaires all thanks to their drive to achieve and placate authority figures.

You Hate Your Work, and I Found Out Why
We all know that one brilliant artist from elementary school who always said their work was awful before surprising the teacher yet again with a masterpiece. We learned to doubt them and expect another beautiful work of art with every assignment. However, they never stopped putting themselves down no matter what anyone said. Eventually, we just stopped giving them compliments, and then they stopped sharing their work with us. Why weren’t they satisfied with the years of compliments we gave them?

Years, non-professional background, she has been working hard because she loves English. I admired her. She said that 10 years ago, she had seen a survey report that if a person wants to master a skill and become an expert, he needs to practice 10,000 hours without interruption. At that time, she calculated that if you practiced 5 hours a day and 300 days a year, it would take 7 years for a person to master this skill.
