Tan Kin Lian's Blog: Boot licker?

Boot licker?

Someone posted a positive comment about me, but preferred to remain anonymous. He was afraid of being accused of boot licking.

I have a way to overcome this fear.

I like to find positive things to say about other people. I am just being decent and encouraging. I am not boot licking.

We need to promote a climate of positiveness. We have to find positive things to say about other people. We have to create an optimistic climate.

I encourate other people to think positive, and be positive.

Happened by your blog when it was featured in Tomorrow.sg.

At first i thought you were someone impersonating the CEO of NTUC. After reading further, i found out that you were actually the CEO of NTUC. It came as a kind of surprise. After all my impression of people in authority is that they keep their private lives apart from their public personae.

Well i must say that i am impressed with your style of writing and the way you put your view across so elegantly. I also feel that you're down to earth and have empathy for the man-in-the-streets.

However i must say i do not support some of your views (e.g having cameras to monitor maids) , but then again everyone are entitled to their own view points.

Singapore definitely needs more people like you in positions of authority.

When i start working after my uni studies, i will definitely take up an NTUC income insurance policy, in view of the fact that they place policy holders first.

Yours

It's great encouragement to be praised especially by your boss.

Personally I have been encouraged greatly by Mr Tan and on a few occasions I was praised in public.

This has boost my morale and spur me further in my career..

I agree with Mr Tan....if praise is due give it..especially if you are leading a team, it will build up the team spirit greatly.

+ves edifies/dignifies
-ves .. well .. simply spoils one's day; July 21, 2005 3:21 AM
