Inside Fahmeena Odetta's Head

Blog by Fahmeena Odetta Moore. I trust in Almighty God ("But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him.")

Christians aspire to have a personal relationship with God. DailyShePursues.com discusses this personal relationship with God.

For me, a relationship with God is different from all other relationships. God is Almighty and powerful and a ‘being’ to be respected. I place Him above all others.

Other relationships are different but similar. The relationship with a boss, for example, requires work and respect. But I don’t believe it should be as close or as trusting. Then there are issues such as personality of the boss and demands of the organization. Bosses are just not perfect. God is supposed to be perfect (with perfect knowledge and perfect judgment).

We know that there are a lot of bad bosses out there. This reminds me of the movie Horrible Bosses.
With God, all things work for good.

We know that bosses control compensation. A good relationship with the boss will likely mean a higher salary and/or higher bonuses. So there is motivation to make the relationship work.

“Managing up” is the term used for maintaining a good/effective relationship with the boss (see: https://hbr.org/2015/01/what-everyone-should-know-about-managing-up). I still have to learn a lot in this area.

FEATURED

I am working to be published.

I completed 11 signature assignments – significant papers with original ideas. In one paper, I foresaw specific problems at a major company. In another, I designed a study (with statistical analyses) to explain why videos do not significantly enhance or improve online reviews. I worked alone. My signature assignments available at: https://fahmeenaodettasignaturepapers.tumblr.com.

About THIS BLOG

I created this blog to capture my thoughts and ideas and to practice writing. Why practice writing? I was on a break from my PhD and not writing much. I needed to continue writing regularly – I wrote and submitted weekly assignments/papers.
I also track my mental health using this blog.

I am currently working on publishing my papers in academic journals. Click the ‘paperforpublishing’ tag in the tags section below for my last status update. My main area of specialization is usability/user experience. Click on the ‘usability’ tag to view my posts, including ideas, on usability. If you are here for information on my success research, click on the ‘success’ tag. If you are here for information on my hometown, click on the ‘lindenguyana’ tag.

I welcome comments. Submit your comments and feedback at any time. I prefer that you use Facebook for comments, but feel free to comment in any of the blogs or on Twitter.
