  Being Nice Vs. Being Good. Being Nice is when one tries to nod with whatever is being said & done. Thereby not to offend the offenders, not to shake up their perspectives, not to showcase any alternative probabilities, not to draw their attention towards facts, not to talk them down on any subject matter that they are not willing or ready to be taught or enlightened. Being Good is when one tries to do the right thing for them without hurting or invading the rights or well being of anyone else. Being good begins with initiation of thoughts followed by actions that carry genuine intentions. Contrary to being nice that is always going to remain focused on the self image of the imposter, being good can many times appear not to be so nice, especially when one is not ready to read the intentions. While it becomes an art when one is trying to practice being good in a nicer way. Relationship advisors & management consultants do confess that mostly none of thei...

  Modern Day Mindset (Self proclaimed blindness towards intentions of people around) Flight over fight Move to next available option than to talk & iron out issues. Deploying EEE. OEE, is a technical term "Original Equipment Experience'' can also be reviewed as EEE,  Existing Employees Experience , is a policy whereby next & new options will be treated & handled like to squeeze out oil from not only the coconut but from the coconut shell as well. The experience with the existing employees those who have stayed for a very long period of time must have been so tiring & exhausting that while nothing can be done to change it or make it better what can be done here is to find a new option and rule them with a policy derived from all bad & ugly experience while remaining helpless at the hands of those sets of long standing employees.
