I have read your blog and you have a very good post and blog. I certainly agree with your blog articles or should I say issue you are discussing. In fact, you should add more articles with regards to your subject more often so that I can come visiting to your blog.

How often do you find new and research stuff? Are there any opportunities that I can contribute to your blog. I believe other blog readers would love to read more related stuff. This way, your PR rank for this blog will raise if more visitors are coming.

Keep up the good work!

Eddy

]]> Comment on What if God… by Cara http://www.stephenbarden.co.uk/wordpress/?p=19&cpage=1#comment-666 Cara Fri, 02 Feb 2007 16:48:27 +0000 http://www.stephenbarden.co.uk/wordpress/?p=19#comment-666 This was the first result I got for a search for "God", and I'm so glad it came up! It's so beautifully worded, and is a much more purely spiritual way of looking at God than I usually stumble across. For someone in a crisis of faith, this tips the scales a bit in God's direction.

]]> Comment on Self Value: doing or being? by Diana Stephenson http://www.stephenbarden.co.uk/wordpress/?p=11&cpage=1#comment-2 Diana Stephenson Tue, 29 Aug 2006 10:23:53 +0000 http://www.stephenbarden.co.uk/wordpress/?p=11#comment-2 Interesting thoughts! However it is worth remembering that we are moulded in our formative years by the reactions we provoke from others,particularly our parents. We learn very quickly that praise 'feels good', criticism does not. To survive we need to navigate that very thin line between what is seen as acceptable behaviour and what is not. When does 'overbearing' become 'directive' and when does 'compliant' become unfocussed? As your article on team performance identifies so well, the individual needs to be aware of their place and effect on the team, so hightened self awareness yes but I think keeping a perspective on how others think your behaviour will affect them is fundamental to survival in the business jungle.
