Being different is torturous for me

Even at the very first beginning, there are something that you are never ever able to change or improve. Maybe let it go is the best way to get away from them, but how could it be possible to ignore something that build up your personality or characters. Even though you know that is normal for this modern world, and "many people" have accepted this kind of idea, you are still lonely no matter where you are being. This is what you have done to make what you have been through. There are too many blames to take, so I really want to escape from them and hide myself for protection. It is a kind of luxury to be normal when you are so different in this society and world. I think it is the problem because they come out everywhere when I don't have other things to focus on. I know there are must some faults I have to take, but I am really tired of being what I am. If there is a god, could he or she give me some directions to the future. I am so desperate in this world. I really want to find the reason to live my life.

To know how to ask is the key to be a success superior

When you are asked by employees some questions, don't answer them immediately!

Rather than just answer the questions directly, you may ask them another open question so that they can more likely reconsider or brainstorm about the solution. Beware that you need to "ask" as if you are offering suggestions and say it with sincerity. In addition, remember to give some feedback after their replying because that would make them feel being respected. In conclusion, one cannot know everything; therefore, the key to success lies in asking!

Something new to learn

There are so many things to be explored for me, and I deeply realize that over the few days. I know I am not good at dealing with peer issues more often than not. Sometimes I just don't know how I had annoyed or offended someone by doing some particular nasty things to them. Maybe I am a fool in terms of social skills. But, how come I could make some hate me so unconsciously that I was not able to do anything to compensate for my "faults". I believe there is so-called naturally incompatible when it comes to peer relationships, so one just have to endure and suffer, and then find a narrow way to survive.
