When Mr. Spock of “Star Trek” said, “Live long and prosper,” he could have been telling 21st-century folks to start taking advantage of the longevity revolution that was sweeping over them —

One that promised a longer life than their grandparents could have imagined, but did not guarantee they would prosper, either in good health or overall quality of life. That, the logical Vulcan would have pointed out, depends on wise choices.

“Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you.” -

“Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.”

Most of us can relate on some level to that feeling. Even people who excel at taking personal responsibility have at least one story of having been hurt. Though some of us have endured more serious situations, you really can’t quantify or compare emotional pain.

Remember, you are in charge of your attitude and response. You can get over it and go on. If the hurt was unintentional, ask yourself, "Why am I magnifying it by holding on to it?" If the hurt was intentional and forgiven, ask yourself, "If the person has asked for my forgiveness and moved on, why am I still stuck in the pain?" If the hurt was intentional and unforgiven, tell yourself, "I choose to forgive the pain the person caused me so I can move past it." Then reassert yourself and determine to be happy. That’s a choice you should reserve for yourself.

Anger is a natural, healthy emotion. 

However, it can arise out of proportion to its trigger. The emotion can impede a person's decision-making, damage relationships, and otherwise cause harm. Learning to control anger can limit the emotional damage.  Managing anger does not involve holding it in or avoiding associated feelings. Coping with anger is an acquired skill — almost anyone can learn to control the feelings with time, patience, and dedication.

Now more than ever, companies need to focus on building powerful corporate culture. Here's giving tips on how companies can re-build/reimage their culture.

The real test of leadership does not occur when everything is smooth sailing. Rather, leadership is oftentimes tested during a crisis. The way a leader behaves and acts during a crisis will establish their credentials as a good leader or a poor one.

That being said, there is no handy manual out there that can guide a leader through a crisis. This is because while there can be certain protocols in place that prevent a crisis from happening, each new crisis is unique in its own way, with its own problems and quirks and will require a different approach from the one used before.

Very often, the unpredictable nature of crises means that leaders have no time to prepare. It is very much ado or be destroyed situation. Additionally, there is no telling how long a crisis will take to blow over. The time can range from a day or two to over a few years.

These situations get even more difficult when you are charged with managing other employees through the chaos. Not only do you have to keep your own levels of stress and panic at a minimum, you have to help others do so, all the while maintaining productivity and morale.

While there is rarely a defined path through a crisis, there are some standard practices that can help you move past obstacles and keep your team engaged, amid even the most tumultuous environment.

What is reverse delegation? How does it impact a company and team's workflow?

If you could do one thing to transform your life, I would highly recommend it be to find something you’re passionate about, and do it for a living.
