How To Be More Interesting (In 10 Simple Steps)

5 - Enneagram Type Five: The Investigator Type Five in Brief Fives are alert, insightful, and curious. They are able to concentrate and focus on developing complex ideas and skills. Independent, innovative, and inventive, they can also become preoccupied with their thoughts and imaginary constructs. Why You Shouldn't Be Afraid to Be Yourself Be yourself. How many times have you heard that phrase? It sounds so simple, but I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that you haven't actually realized it's not. The problem with cliches is that they're so overused, they begin to lose their meaning.

Only half of British businesses vet their suppliers for UK Bribery Act compliance The study polled procurement managers and directors from a wide range of firms across the UK. The study found that while SMEs and midmarket firms are often less likely to have robust processes and systems in place to counter bribery risk, companies at both ends of the spectrum appeared complacent when it came to vetting their suppliers for compliance with the Act. Ernst & Young’s study found that even though 60 per cent of firms with a turnover of £5m to £50m currently vet their suppliers to assess whether their business practices comply with UK Bribery Act, 16 per cent of these midmarket firms would ‘do nothing’ if their suppliers fail to comply.

40 Belief-Shaking Remarks From a Ruthless Nonconformist If there’s one thing Friedrich Nietzsche did well, it’s obliterate feel-good beliefs people have about themselves. He has been criticized for being a misanthrope, a subvert, a cynic and a pessimist, but I think these assessments are off the mark. I believe he only wanted human beings to be more honest with themselves. He did have a remarkable gift for aphorism — he once declared, “It is my ambition to say in ten sentences what others say in a whole book.” A hundred years after his death, Nietzsche retains his disturbing talent for turning a person’s worldview upside-down with one jarring remark. Are You Ready to Journey Inward? When I was younger, I attended a parochial school. We had to wear uniforms, but had several “dress down” days, when we were allowed to wear our own casual clothes. One morning at school, it was announced that we would be allowed to “dress down” the next day.

How You Accelerate Getting Promoted Will fixing a sales problem accelerate your path to promotion? It should. You are time starved now more than ever. If you tackle the right problem, it will help you make the number. It will help you get promoted. Is being happy simply a matter of habit? Gertrude Stein had a routine of driving into the French countryside with her beloved partner to view cows. The American writer, poet and art collector needed to gaze upon one – the right kind of one, reportedly – in order to feel calm and happy. She would get out of the car, set up a camp stool, paper and pencil in hand, hoping for inspiration to write, while Alice Toklas took a switch to a cow to coax her into the author’s line of vision. If the cow didn’t suit Ms. Stein’s mood, off they would go in search of one that did. (Apparently, she had a thing about looking at rocks, too.)
