I always say "Double checking is the best form of trust". It always seems to bring more attention to detail in a humorous and less criticizing way. Also, I like to use strict or unfair criticisms that I have received throughout life and jokingly use them to remind my employees to do a good job. My first project at this job was to figure out why the inventoried product in our ERP system changes and creates data disconnect without any data movement transactions. As I was trying to hurry and explain what we need to do to prevent this result I accidentally told my boss, the CEO of the company that it happens but we need to do the following changes. He said "things don't just happened around here". I felt misunderstood at the time but with time I started using the phrase as a joke with all my employees. Now everyone seems to be using it around to laugh about strange occurances but also to remind each other that we need an explantaion for everything thus anticipating solutions ahead of time.<br />DSDShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04585304423296329045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37832695.post-60706713793459173792008-11-09T06:06:00.000+05:302008-11-09T06:06:00.000+05:30Hi My name is Matti , I'm mexican, I live in Tampi...Hi My name is Matti , I'm mexican, I live in Tampico, Tamaulipas, México recently I started to teach english in a elementary school, so I need to know more motivational phrases like " go on working", excellent,great effort, good work, keep it up, etc., for the notes in the cards of the children, could you help me? this is my e-mail malaka991@hotmail.com. thank you very much.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06886763728306084407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37832695.post-68783437561859608282007-10-16T09:54:00.000+05:302007-10-16T09:54:00.000+05:30I had a colleague who would tell boys that were ta...I had a colleague who would tell boys that were tapping on the desk or making some such noise to "take your hand out of your pants and stop playing with yourself."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37832695.post-44886743858284034422007-10-16T09:12:00.000+05:302007-10-16T09:12:00.000+05:30This really isn't a motivational phrase, but I see...This really isn't a motivational phrase, but I seem to use it in my class a LOT (maybe it's cause my students are bored or just have ants in their pants); When a kid is tapping, hitting, pushing buttons on their watch or calculator, has glue or white out constantly I like to say, "Put your toys away!" And when they respond, and they always do, "It's not a toy." I retort, "If you are playing with it, then it's a TOY! Put it away and pay attention."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37832695.post-72100291633947447602007-10-15T21:16:00.000+05:302007-10-15T21:16:00.000+05:30How about when they ask if they can "see" your sci...How about when they ask if they can "see" your scissors, stapler, tape, glue, etc. I always hold it up and comment, "Can you see it ok?
