Welcome!

Hello everyone, thanks for coming! This is my blog, it's where I largely write about things that maybe 3 people read, but I do it anyway because they matter. Have a flick through, read ones with interesting titles, and check by every once in a while and see if there's any more. You can also follow me on twitter at @MikePasquale or you can visit my website which has got all my illustration on it: www.smash-rockets-to-mars.co.uk

Anyway, thanks again, and hope you enjoy your reading!
Mike

Blog 9: For the sake of ranting...

Motivation skills really are going down the pan. At my work the other day my boss kept telling me off for any little finickity thing I did wrong, but never praised me for doing stuff right. It's silly really. When someone pops up behind me going "Mike you haven't done this little bit right" even though the rest is right, I just think, well, I don't care. You are just wandering about moaning. So shut up. However, another one of my bosses is like "Wow nice job Michael, thanks for working today" and he actually WORKS, and this makes me feel so much more motivated. And guess what? Boss number 2 don't complain 'bout nuffin' cos I is doin' it right 'cos I care more. And if I doooo make a mistake, he just points it out in a nice way, or a jokey way, so you don't feel stupid. He's a good boss.

seems odd, but its true that you can motivate someone more and achieve a better result by exaggerating their strengths as opposed to exposing their flaws.
Loving your blog too! x
