The POPO principle :

The POPO principle :

Anyone who follows office politics will be familiar with the POPO principle.

POPO ( Pissed On and Passed Over) refers to a hardworking individual whose integrity and work ethic get him nowhere, who finds himself overlooked for rewards and promotions, sidelined by craftier colleagues. Partly because he's too straight and naive and partly because he just doesn't know how to play the game,

Mr POPO ends up as a spectacular underachiever.

People seems to take me for granted. I feels cheated, even a little bewildered. I am not aware what is required in the present moment.. I don't know how to play the game in the present circumstances. The situation has changed. Accordingly my goal & required actions should change.But I am not doing so. I am letting people Pissed On me and Passed Over me.

Understanding Of How Men And Boys Think are:

 

Understanding Of How Men And Boys Think are:

1 Men really are sex-crazed

The brain's part inked to sexual pursuit is two-and-a-half times larger in males than females.

2 They're programmed to perv

The testosterone drives what Louann calls the "man trance" - a glazed-eye stare at breasts. She says: "I wish I could say that men can stop themselves from entering this trance. But the truth is, they can't."

3 Men want more partners

According to the book, men want an average of 14 sexual partners in their lifetime. Women want one or two.

Louann says: "It's postcoital narcolepsy. During orgasm, males release a huge amount of oxytocin in their brains, and it is very sedating. It's not that he doesn't love you."

4 Men lie more about sex

Biologically speaking, men are more comfortable lying to the opposite sex.

5 Foreplay round the clock

In case of women, foreplay is everything that happens in the 24 hours before intercourse. For men it's what happens three minutes before entry

Louann says: "The male brain's initial emotional reaction can be stronger than the female. But within 2.5 seconds his face changes to hide the emotion, or even reverse it."

Perseverance, not looks or talent, key to excellence

 

We tend to link brains, beauty, luck and capital with highly successful business people.

However, a new study shows that exceptional performance need not depend on special talent, experience or even sheer luck.

Instead, it is the result of sustained, intense and deliberate practice in a particular area, says Robert A. Baron, professor of management and psychology in the University of Iowa who led the study.

The study authors show that most people work only 'hard enough' to achieve a certain performance level, acceptable to themselves and others, with no further gains.

The path to true excellence can be attained through perseverance, says the study.

Entrepreneurs can acquire new capacities that can assist them in starting or running a new venture or allow them to adapt to unforeseen circumstances, says a statement from the University of Iowa.

These factors help secure a positive outcome: preparation, repetition, self-observation, self-reflection, and continuous feedback on results. And these efforts lead to a healthy self-efficacy.

The study was published in the March issue of Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal.
