There was once a training manager who attended a decision making course. He had performed extremely well on the course and, in turn, he was very impressed by the content and training methods.On his return to the training centre, he called his senior trainer into the office to tell him how impressive this course had been. He finished by saying, ‘You know, you really should go on this course.’

‘That’s a good idea,’ replied the senior trainer, ‘when am I going?’

‘I don’t know — I haven’t decided yet!’ came the decisive reply.

it’s a bit weird considering the manager who attended the course were considered to performed extremely, let me just say he did a good job but in the end I felt that the manager didnt learn anything because lecture is indeed important to learn but to be able to know that you learn is to be able to apply all of those in short, its all in the AppLicaTion.

anu daw?

3. savanna dela rosa - November 23, 2007

huh?!..i think,the manager can’t apply the things he learned from the decision making course..he can’t tell to anybody that he’s a good decision maker,unless he apply it to his own life..

,,,,medyo nagoluhan ako,,,jeje,,,

5. Mari Carla L. Manalo BBA MN II-2D - November 23, 2007

i thought he performed extremely well?how come he was’nt able to apply what he learned?the true essence of understanding something or of really being good at something is when you were able to apply it in your everyday living..

6. Mia M. Capendit BBA MN II-2D - November 23, 2007

decision making takes time..he was to impulsive in his decisions considering he went to a seminar in decision making

7. khareen maneja mn2-2d - November 23, 2007

it really a puzzled story.. well at several times of reading i slightly get it in a sense that the manager tries to say to his senior trainer must undergo the same training maybe there’s something mising..

8. sofia ballada - November 23, 2007

ayyy.. its better kung ia-apply nya sa everyday life nya ung pinag-aralan nya.. da best na sana sya ehh.. sumablay pa.. sayang..

9. rainier villareal mn2-2d - November 23, 2007

honestly i didn’t understand the article thoroughly…what i understand is that the trainer was advised by the trainee to attend the same training so that he will be well trained…(whatever)

10. joseph cabeliza mn- II-2d - November 23, 2007

Actually di ko maintindihan, tanging nauunawa ko lang iyong training manager na nagpakita ng galing sa klase sa course na decision making ay di makapagdesisyon nung tinanong na siya ng kanyang senior. parang ang gulo. academically excellent na tao tapos di niya ito maparactice sa tunay na buhay?!.

11. faye bernardino MN2-2D - November 23, 2007

well,in the sense that the training manager just sleep in his decision making course…in a way a person must be attentive in everything he do…the thing is non-sense if he didn’t use what he have learn in such a thing he must…

12. merry cris esguerra mn 2-2d - November 23, 2007

parang balewala lng ung galing nya if he cannot apply that to real life..i would suggest n ipractice nya muna yung nalalaman nya before nya ituro sa iba to make it more effective.

13. kriszel manalili - November 23, 2007

ano ba yan……he can’t apply what he have learned…mas mgnda sana kung kaya nyang iapply ung npgaralan nia….

14. frisian ambojia - November 23, 2007

kala ko b naimpress sya?..mdali lng nmn yung pagdedesisyunan nya e..ay nko..ang plastic nya..i think he never really learn anything in that in that decision making course coz he cant apply what he learned on that..but the question is, natuto nga kya sya o pkitang tao lng?..

15. Jan Michael N. Garcia - November 23, 2007

how can the manager be a senior manager if he has’nt under-gone the training that he is supposedly teaching.
tama ba or d q lang naintindihan?

bkit sya ang mag dedecide? dahil super decisive sya?. . .

16. Irene Santos - November 23, 2007

senior manager is probably tesing the management trainee if the latter have learned his lesson…

17. reymar limpiada - November 23, 2007

pkialamero nman nun..qng aq cnampal q n un.. hehe.. cguro wlng sense kausap ung manger, ky un binastos nya…

18. jenny may i. gementiza of MN 2-2 d - November 23, 2007

hindi naman cguro makakapag decide agad ung training manager malay ba niya kung kelan puwedeng pumunta ung senior trainer….

19. magno sinohin mn2-2d - November 23, 2007

considering that he attended the training and had performed extremely well during the course…uhmmmm….
change is never done overnyt!….

20. jeremeelwaniwan - November 24, 2007

I think the ’senior trainer’ should start finding himself another boss!!! his Boss is hopeless… hehehe…

21. ejoy - November 24, 2007

adik clang 2..4 me,hndi ideal ung maxadong pagkarir sa mga gnagawa sa lyf..hwat?hehe..bsta!nasa tao nmn ya n kung meh nagain ba xa tlagang lesson saa lyf…ahooo!

22. Ana Ramos - November 24, 2007

he didn’t apply the result of his training

23. Loven Carl C. Wasan MN2-2D - November 24, 2007

hahahaha…. what a funny guy!!

24. grace BPAG 3-1 - November 24, 2007

eh pano kng wala pa siyang pondo para sa pag attend nung isa dun sa course na un? kaya ndi nia pa lam kng kelan nia peden pakuhain ng course ung senior trainer nia… intindihin na lang natin……….

25. fina - November 24, 2007

well it shows na my mga tao tlgang mgaling lng sa theory pero pag prinactice na paktay na.. toinkz

26. katie - November 24, 2007

foolish you are if you believe that trainings, classes etc would change you that much… experience is the best teacher pa rin…these lessons might teach you the basic but it wont teach you to do it…you take the initiative to apply it…teach yourself first..

27. John Ed Rey MN II-2d - November 24, 2007

anu b yan! nag attend b tlga cia ng desicion making course!

28. joyce ann clarisse angeles MN II-2d - November 24, 2007

cguro pinag iisipan nia what is the best time for the senior trainer to attend that course! cguro lng naman! ahaha!

29. John Ed Rey MN II-2d - November 24, 2007

i think there isa a logic behind this story! its up for the readers if they would get it!

30. j.clemente - November 24, 2007

…hmmm..my goodness!!! the training manager itself admitted that he was very impressed with the content and the training method on that decision making course…hai,…that is simply as reading without comprehension…and learning without any application!!!…gudluck seo.

31. piñon, iola vianka 3-1 - November 24, 2007

decisions are hard to make…
the thing is, even though you’ve already know many things form your experiences as you grow old,, still you cannot change the fact that you can still learn more from those who are younger than you……

32. heidi ortiz - November 24, 2007

honestly d q po magets?hehehe…loading p poh mind q…

34. anna marie angelito - November 24, 2007

mahusay…kasi na apply nya ung course nya,..tinitignan nya kung pano magdedecide ung senior nya….

35. lani escobido - November 26, 2007

yan ang walang natutuhan tlaga…hindi na absorb ang itinuro during training..sus.

36. mandy planas / MN 2-2d - November 26, 2007

anak ng mukhang baklang tipaklog!!!!!

tae wla syang natutunana….

c:

37. analen_b_sanchez - November 26, 2007

huh…s totoo lang…medyo naguluhan din me dun…well, the trainee manager have not really learned his lesson…sometimes we are also like the trainee manager…we learn lot of things…but we forgot to put into practice what we have learned..un ung kulang…application of all the things we’ve learned…and that’s what we should realize.

38. dave dumlao - November 27, 2007

ahahah akala mo interisado tlga xa e nu….

39. Jake MN2-2d - November 27, 2007

Hehehehe…i think ung trainer manager eh di tlga naintindihan ang mga lessons n dapat nyang maintindihan sa meeting na pinuntahan nya…kung naintindihan nya tlga un dapat nakapagdecide na agad sya kung kelan dapat pumunta ung senior trainer nya

40. BPS aga - November 28, 2007

haaisst..kahit yung nag”perform really well” sa training eh nahirapan sa pagpractice nung natutunan niya.. baka di maxado effective yung nging training niya..o well..di lang kasi sa performance within that training madedetermine yung effectiveness niya sa pagdecide..it is on the outside that one will truly test what he/she has learned.

41. jacq of BPS IR IV-2 - November 28, 2007

I guess that’s the irony of life….. there are so many people like the trainer manager in the story who claims that they already learn a lot of things, but with a sudden jolt they realize that they actually learn nothing… and I pity those people….

42. miyvki takahashi - November 29, 2007

the manager only looking for the best time for the senior trainer…. heheheh.. kelan kaya yun!!

43. patricia mae - November 29, 2007

toink ang gara nman nung guy ok n sna e ok n ok n e
taz bglang toink tlga hehe

hari xa ng sblay

44. sane bps - November 30, 2007

tsk! tsk!
sana d na xa ngrecommend’ hehe.. .
para d sumablay’

nweis’ such manifested how we would define learning’
to pronounce it too well or to apply it with excellence?

45. NOVAlicious(bps 4-2) - November 30, 2007

..isn’t it ironic..dont you think
..its like rain..on your wedding day..
..its a free ride,when u’ve already paid..
..its a good advice..and u just didnt take..

parang song lang ni alanis..ironic..

-kahit sa tingin mu alam mu na,make sure alam mu talga..kc kung akala mu alam mu na tas ndi mu pa pala alam,panu mu malalaman?..haha..gulo ba?!

46. KIM - November 30, 2007

it is better if that training manager apply his learnings to his daily life…it is true that all those trainings and seminars are senseless if you will not apply them to your existence in this world, and it is indeed that experience is the best teacher…he should know how to motivate people for him to be an effective leader. the other person on the situation asked, if when is the best time to attend the training and the training manager left a stupid answer…

47. FAITH (3-1) - November 30, 2007

may mga tao tlagang sadyang hanggang salita lng..! walang naitutulong ang mga taong ganyan sa mundo..! dapat sa mga yun panapatay! haha! iskolar ng bayan..lumalaban! haha! jok jok lng..!

48. angela alcantara - November 30, 2007

one must practice what one preaches otherwise no one would believe you. this for me is one rule that everyone should follow.

49. rodolf - November 30, 2007

the shed light on the logic of the story… I think what happened was despite the person taking crash course on decision making, he did not learn as shown when the senior trainer asked him and he cannot decide to answer the question….

50. ivy - November 30, 2007

in life, there are tyms that we have to face tough decisions.. either you make it or you break it… but do remember wherever way u go, there are no wrong decisions in life, its for you to make it right…

51. dreb - November 30, 2007

in life we will face tough decision. its either we fail or we will succeed. We must face the consequences of our decision..

52. bodeth banlaoi - November 30, 2007

mejo magulo…

uhmmm but the manager i think, didn’t get any learning from the course…because understanding the lesson is only half of learning…application completes it!

53. jovy 4-2 - November 30, 2007

nyek, does he really learn in the training? how come he can’t decide?

54. aBbY BPS 4-2 - November 30, 2007

anu daw????

parang ndi xa umatend ng training..i tot dami nya natutunan…hahaha…

55. jhe - November 30, 2007

im wondering if he really was present on that training course.

ang gulo nya huh.

di sya magiging good leader, for me ha. because he was not able to impart the things he learned. sabi mo kasi sir, dapat may successors yung leaders. and he is not a good ancestor.

56. mia ir 4-2 - November 30, 2007

what???

ang gulo eh…

but let me speak of my own understanding of the story…

its about decision making that we personally do… pero i guez it also speak of how decision should be made… nag-aral man ng decision making course yung training manager eh masyado niyang dinibdib yung education.. di siya gumamit ng experience tulad ng lesson sa “a teacher’s child”… di lang education ang dapat nating isabuhay pati ang experience… some decision need time but some come very imeddiate that your answer of yes or no will be equal to do or die….

57. harly - November 30, 2007

sometimes, khit perfect tau sa lahat ng aspeto nten sa buhay, palpak taung mgdecide…

dats the biggest challenge in lyf…

58. cariss_magallones 4-2 - November 30, 2007

61. jerry - December 1, 2007

noh ba yun!
parang hindi nman nia maxiadong inintindi yung gnawa nia nung training.

62. Laryssa - December 1, 2007

nonsense!! ung advice..

63. Timothy ABP - December 2, 2007

the senior trainer must decide whenn he will go..not the training manger!

because sabe nga ni dante aligheri na you must decide for yourself di ba?

64. Diana Lee Chan - December 2, 2007

The short story implies two things: one, there was a miscommunication; and two, an impressive presentation does not guarantee a wholesome personality.

65. Emmanuel ABP - December 2, 2007

if the training manager. . . enter the decision course he should have decide when will the senior manager will enter the course..

he would have said that he can begin anytime..

i didnt find the story parang ang gulo…

66. lawrence ABP1-1D - December 3, 2007

what a stupid person!!!!!!!!!!
gago yata un eh ang gnda gnda nung cnbi nia tungkol sa
training bago he cant decide eh prng gustong gusto nia eh!!!!
ah basta pra cia tanga!!!!!

67. haneda cacayan - February 9, 2008

i do believe na yung manage ay wala talagang natutunan sa training course.. on the first place, kung may natutunan talaga sya dapat madali lang for him to apply it in their office..

i think, he should attend again sa training na yun.. he really needs it..

68. margarita villarmia - February 11, 2008

anu ba naman yan! di sya makag-decide..pero kung sabagay sa life natin,decision making takes time.. hai nakuh basta yun na yun!

69. jessica dimaya - February 13, 2008

useless!

70. lea - February 13, 2008

eto ata ung sinsbi you don’t practice what you preach.. hehe..hmm nk2relate ako.. sumtyms i cant decide on my own..

71. clarisse 3-3 - February 13, 2008

72. ervi doronila - February 13, 2008

74. nhica - February 13, 2008

ano b yon…. bk8 nmn gnun hehehehehe
jejejeje dpat d gnun …

75. Gerald Peter Corton - February 14, 2008

True knowledge is indeed not only knowing things but it lies on the way you apply what you have learned

76. mitch 3-1 - February 14, 2008

..my mga tao kse theoretically they new it but in application they fail..bket kya?? bka kse walang passion.. ung mind lng ung ntuto.. so its not rily learning..

77. Lilibeth(abp1-1D) - February 14, 2008

ahaha !! ano kyA un ?
sana hindi na lang xa pumasok
dun, wala rin pla xang natutunan !

78. dj bps4-2 - April 21, 2008

a mismatch of job!!! the two person in this short article should not call themselves training manager… because training managers are disciplined people…and displined people are decisive persons..
