Caution Fees

Good Morning Brilliant and Excellent People,

I look forward to sharing with you Brilliant and Excellent tips for attaining your goals and fulfilling your Purpose.

Consciously or unconsciously, we engage in several little acts every minutes. These acts are the determinant of our public image or perception of people about us.

In as much as we all want to take right decisions and control our actions, the probability of keeping them 100% positive is unrealistic as we have not seen any perfect being till date.

However, we can keep most of our actions positive by setting guards within our environment. Permit me to call these guards “caution fee”.

Like I mentioned last week, we will be looking at these caution fees and the activation of it. What is a caution fee? A caution fee is money deposited as security for good conduct. Caution fee is mostly paid when getting a new apartment and in some cases by college students. Paying caution fee says if by the end of my tenancy contract, any of the property met in good condition is damaged, the money should not be returned. Therefore, in order to get your ‘caution fee’ money back, you need to ensure that whatever it is you are using on contract has to be left in good condition.

What is the implication of ‘caution fee’ on public perception?

Technically speaking, we pay caution fee to keep us on our guards, to ensure that properties are left undamaged, especially in cases where the caution fee is exceptionally expensive, we try to get our money back. Right? Right. In the same way, in life, we can set ‘cautions’ all around you to keep you in check, to help you never to lose yourself. I like to call these cautions ‘Guards’ or ‘Protectors’. Let me give an example before we go into what the ‘Guards’ are.

I had a boss who told me this story on time, he said after he became the Managing Director of the company where he works presently, he realised that there was the sudden tendency to be laid back especially in the area of not coming to work daily or early as the case may be. What did he do? He hired the outgoing CEO’s driver. He realised that by doing this, he was putting himself on his toes. How? The CEO’s driver and the CEO himself were good friends, they talk a lot and sometimes, the CEO gets his feedback from his driver. By hiring the CEO’s driver, it meant, the CEO has direct information on his activities whenever he needed them and whenever feedback are required from this young man, the young man would have nothing short of positive remarks to give. In order words, the CEO’s driver was one of  his caution or his guard in this case.

What are some of the guards you can set for yourself to keep you at optimum performance? People. Yes, people are the most popular and reliable caution that can be put in place.

• ·                   People you regard
• ·         People who regard you i.e. people who look up to you and you do not want to disappoint them.

In essence, by surrounding yourself with people you can be accountable to or are accountable to you, you put yourself in a position where you are constantly aware of your actions and inaction and how they impact the people around you and their perception of you.

Decide today to place some guards around you that helps you check your excesses or are always there to call you to order when required.
