Quotes on Contribution
There are many quotes on contribution which I would like to share with you. But, I can’t share all at once, I will do it bit by bit. Is that alright?
The most fantastic quote on contribution is by Eleanor Roosevolt which says ‘when you cease to make a contribution, you will die”. In other words, life is purposeless without contribution.
KPI between competition and contribution
I stumbled upon this quote which I think it is absolutely true. Sometimes, I feel that the KPI (Key Performance Index) given to each staff, faculty, research group and etc., will keep people away from teamwork since it unintentionally creates competition, even though the initial goal is to measure staff’s contributions.
Busy and no time to be nosy
I love this quote, when you are busy with your own business, you have no time to be nosy 😃.
Being Busy but yet HAPPY!
I am feeling happy, even though I am busy. Therefore, I was curious is there a quote on being busy but happy. Are there people, who are happy to be busy? Can busy make you happy? How can you be happy when you are busy? So many questions go into my mind. So, I just google looking for a quote on busy but happy. Guess what I have got…
oh my goodness, keep yourself busy if you want to make yourself happy then.

Communicating with narcissists…
It is not easy to communicate with narcissists or people with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). They always want to win, will never listen to others and one thing I learnt recently about narcissistic people is that they are good at lying 🤥.
What is Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD)?
From the healthline website, there are 9 official criteria for NPD.
- grandiose sense of self-importance
- preoccupation with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
- belief they’re special and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people or institutions
- need for excessive admiration
- sense of entitlement
- interpersonally exploitative behavior
- lack of empathy
- envy of others or a belief that others are envious of them
- demonstration of arrogant and haughty behaviors or attitudes

The advise given by experts when dealing with NPD people is to ignore or to get rid of them. Simply because they won’t listen and always want to win. No point of talking to them unless you want to get yourself hurt.
