NEIGHBOUR´S GRASS IS GREENER

I just came back from a business trip, on my way back home all I could hear were people complaining about their country, while comparing it with few others in Europe.

They forget that those countries also have their problems; everybody and everyplace have room to improve.

For instance in Sweden there was a riot at immigrant’s suburbs and they were still trying to understand what to do to fix the root cause of this cultural problem.

Of course we need to look up to see who is better in order to motivate us to get there as well, but in our pace, values and own way. 

Copying what somebody did it is not  100% effective, it can help on short term (incremental innovation) but we must also do something beyond that (radical innovation).

The human being keep thinking that the neighbour´s grass is always greener, the same think happens in all companies.  There are a lot of people trying to make this world and companies better, are you doing this or just complaining?

Look at your job today, if you are not happy with it stop looking at the negative side of it and at least once start with the positives ones. Get to work on the negatives to make it either go away or become positive, don´t wait someone to do it for you.

At the end if you still feel unhappy, maybe it is time to emigrate to somewhere else, try to find a place that fits who you are, who you want to be.  

Still blaming others for what is happening in your life?
