Learner’s who have difficulties canbe raisedby

So,what is learning really?
Learning produces “Understandings!”
Understandings produce awillingness to action.

about aholistic side ofthings, acompanyis build from/by able people and they are always more than just ajob description.

6. Find hobbies in which he
canwin and usetraining to
enhance. (Proof)
Finding out if he has any started or desired hobbies and get him engaged. It has a positive effect on his morale at
work. Production creates Morale. “Any” production is to be considered positive if it is of value to others. Very
important, shuffling paper, looking busy is not production!
I prefer cricket but they don’t have any 3Dmodels.

7. Afear of spider stems from aperiod in man’s genetic evolution dating 100.000s years back and is in the
cellular imprint of our cells. Theydid kill afew of our ancient grandparents but we won in the end;
proof: you are alive. Occasionally, the cellular imprint is re-stimulated by aprenatal accident and dogs
some of us. I thought you might like to know about your biological history.
Thealternative is you are only frightened because you know you’ll turn into Spiderman and youhate,
having to take responsibility for us all. I hope it bites you before me.

8. Convince him
he fights
shadows
Sometimes we hear things like “Management doesn’t understand.” “Staff don’t care.” Theseare shadows, thereare a
few who will try to sabotage an org, we find them up and downstairs but most want to get along and be productive.
It is important to weed out these careless statements by constantly keeping staff informed and avoiding punishments
or penalties at all costs bar the few who are planning to take us all down.

9. Belief in something hasbeen well-documented asagreat source of
strength. I prefer religion over football but the truth is believing in a
causeis the most important aspect, what is secondary. It goes
without saying it must be aworthwhile causewith him.
Atop company, agreat team are often the biggest (hidden) sourceof
strength.
Many live to work and could stay at work 24/7 happily.
Acompany with agreat causecanmove mountains and attract top
people.
