Teach someone you love to blog

Another love + communication event - teach someone you love to blog by Global Voices Online. So, CQ is so happy to be on the list of bloggers being tagged again huhu ... just follow these instructions!

Step 1: You're never alone with a blog. Tell your readers why you love them, and why they should love you.

I love my readers because without their loyal readership, I will never get positive comments and the continued inspiration to write and think creatively. Besides, I enjoyed sharing 'unexpected' thoughts and the wonderful friendships I have made through my blog.

Why you must love me? Lol .. So that you can see and understand how I relate through my thinking and writing as - I believe that two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.

Step 2: Teach someone you love to blog (or micro-blog!).

Goodness me ... I have not taught anyone yet (no one has ask CQ) but had advised Kimchi on how she should make her blog as informative as it is creative and interesting. Above all, by reading good and great blogs, she could improve on her English writing and increase her vocabulary.

Step 3: Link to their first blog post, and encourage readers to visit them. Use this tag: #SMK [social media kisses]

SMK - newbie-beginner-freshman blogger =)

Step 4: Tag your blogging friends to take part in this meme.

Winning over

At SOME point you will work for a boss who doesn't like you. You will probably won't be able to turn him or her into your best friend, but you don't need to! Trust CQ. CQ has been there hehe ...

All that is necessary is that he or she feels comfortable around you and respects your work. Here are a few ways that CQ wants to share with you =) ..to make that happen.

• Identify the task or projects that matter most to your boss and be extraordinarily productive in those areas. It will also helps you to master or be specialised in areas not liken much by others.
• Help him or her to overcome work related crisis. Your intergrity will somehow gives you the boost to motivate you to help your boss.
• Observe the work habits and style of his or her favoured subordinates. Do they have a casual approach? Or are they likely to communicate by memo? Follow their lead. Never ampu-ampu ok hehehe ..you will enter danger zone.
• Analyse why you have been behaving differently. Are you unconsciously replicating an unhealthy relationship you may have had in the past? Does your supervisor remind you of another authority figure with whom you didn't get along?
• Ask colleagues whom you can trust to share their insights with you. Listen with an OPEN mind.
• If your boss continues to rebuff you, arrange a friendly meeting with him or her. Tell him or her that you sense tension and want to resolve it. Do not argue or blow your top off. Ask him or her in what ways you are not meeting his or her expectations. Hopefully your boss is the impartial type =)
• Keep in mind that you can't change your boss. But you can change your interactions with him or her.

A well balanced communications and work relationship will lead to a more positive and productive output. Good luck!
