Man and Woman: Complement not Competition

Image
As I consider the theme for this year women's day tagged #BalanceForBetter. It reminds me of the creation story. In the beginning the Creator made the woman independent of the man's contribution notwithstanding for completion and not competition.  The woman is unique and special, God did not clone the man to make the woman, but made the man incomplete to form a woman who will complement the man.  Few lesson to learn from the creation story.

Secrets of branding and reputation for individual and business

Image
Do you know that everyone has gotten an identity whether positive or negative? For Example, A fashion designer primary duty is to make clothes for his/her customer, the sum total of activities put into making a dress and delivering to the customer builds a reputation for the fashion designer.   The quality of effort put into making a dress to meet a  customer request could result in customer satisfaction or dissatisfaction which could increase sales if the customer is satisfied through referrals and sharing of a success story but could also decrease sales if the customer is dissatisfied.

Faithfulness can also be learned. God and man love faithful people.
