The Money Talk

-
I didn’t expect to have “Money talk” with my little Man this early... It happened yesterday with no signs or warning bells.. I wouldn’t say the talk went great, read till the end to see what happens..

A: Mom, where do you buy money?
Me: you can’t buy money baby..You need to work for it.
A:  No, but who gives you money?
Me: My boss
A: where does she get it?
Me: From her boss
A: so that boss has lots of money???
Me: No, he gets it from Bank
A: what happens if all the money in the world is gone
Me: they print new ones..
A: how?
Me: Banks have a printer to print money
A: oh yea, I have seen them..
I was confused and asked him
Me: where?
A: in my school office room, I have seen a copier machine!!!
Me: No, not that copier.. Banks have their own and that’s where Money gets printed..
A: Yea, I know.. I was just tricking you.. ha ha ha <Laughs uncontrollably)

I should’ve known this.. that’s Cheeky boy and poor me for you!!!

Rule of thumb for a blind date is to trust the process and to go on a date with no/zero expectation. You do not know who you are meeting until you see them. You cannot check their FB profile or see their stories in Insta. You go there with open mind. If you are lucky, you get a wonderful experience and stories to tell your grand children. Mine was no different, I must say I was always lucky with my blind dates. I have had so many experience of this. However, it was not like I didn't have a choice. Like most of you I too had a conventional way, but choose another way.  I'm talking about my blind dates with this world. Would you dare to go on a blind date with this world? I would. I certainly would. I love the idea of exploring the world , a new place without a map/GPS in hand. I just love the idea of embracing the local culture without reading a travelogue. I just love to taste local food at a street shop in a small alley 'coz local people eat there. I...

Whether it's a business problem or a technology problem, the first step is to find a solution. Am I right?  I don’t need a Business degree to recognise it's not the right way to solve a problem; surprisingly, many teams follow this approach.

I have noticed instances where businesses quickly resolve problems without knowing the downstream effects on other processes, which can lead to further issues later. In some cases, standard processes have workarounds because no one had time to go back and fix it. Here is your guide to solve problems in an ideal way, The first step is to  analyse and identify the problem  - Explore thoroughly to get to the core ...
