Symbiosis In Hospitality Management

Symbiosis in nature is the interaction between two distinct species looking to forge closer long-term relationships. There are three types of interactions; “Mutualism” (honey bees and flowers for example, where both species benefit), “Commensalism” (A bird’s nest on a tree for example, where one species benefits whilst the other is not harmed) and “Parasitism” (humans and mosquitoes for example, where one species benefits and the other is harmed). Symbiotic, human to human interactions seek to form closer long-term relationships based on “Mutualism”, the type of interaction where there is mutual benefit. In the business context, symbiosis happens when key stakeholders collaborate as true partners (not adversaries) for mutual benefit. Assets exist to provide value to the organization and its stakeholders. The hotel asset owner through his representative interacts with the hotel brand operator to create value; find improvements, find opportunities. This book primarily looks at hospitality management, key relationships and the complex operational dynamics between two key stakeholders; hotel asset owners and their branded hotel operators focusing on five key principles and a symbiotic leadership approach as a key enabler. There is a lot of room for improvement and it is this crucial relationship that is examined. This guidebook has been written for hotel brand operators, hotel asset owners and their representatives who are managing, overseeing or monitoring a business venture for themselves or on behalf of others. It is also a valuable guide for students of hospitality as well as the curious layman – anyone who has stayed in a hotel.

Taking My Soul Home

O’Lord, I am searching for that lost pure love.

The pure love You instilled in our hearts once.

The pure love that’s scattered into shreds now.

The pure love that connects all of us to Your oneness.

The pure love we forgot to give and receive.

The pure love that will end all hostilities and retribution.

The pure love that will end all sufferings and vengeance.

The pure love that will reunite us all one day.

The pure love that we call our ‘Soul.’

O’Lord, I need Your help to rediscover that pure love.

AS

I want to take my Soul to its right place, called ‘home.’

Tales Of The Twins

Life is more than the physical objects around us. Life is full of magic. If you believe in magic, you will create it. If you believe in miracles, you will have one. Imagination is one of the blessings that God gave us. Using this blessing or not is your choice. With imagination people created what others thought impossible. 200 years ago, life was different. They had nothing of what we have here nowadays. But with imagination, world development became faster than ever.

Teachings Of Love

That’s Not What The Books Say!

When I was expecting my first child, I read everything I could get my hands on about pregnancy and childbirth. My loved ones gave me volumes of advice as well, which often ran counter to what the books said and what I had come to believe from a lifetime of living in the UAE. Instead of making me feel empowered and capable, the advice left me feeling ashamed, confused, scared, incapable, and really, really down. I found myself constantly responding to people’s recommendations by saying (and sometimes yelling) “THAT’S NOT WHAT THE BOOKS SAY!” Hence, the title of the book.

This book is meant to give insight on how you should use your own intelligence to apply the advice that works for your own lifestyle and say, “No thanks!” to the well-intentioned advice that doesn’t, whether it comes from books, strangers, or loved ones. Because when it comes to parenting, love and happiness flow most freely when you follow your heart.

The Ambassador Of Disasters

I have always been impressed by formal forums, protocols, international representation, and official states’ uniforms. I have full conviction that every culture has the right to be represented and to have its message conveyed across the globe. I believe that the best representation of any country is the person who full-heartedly wishes to do so, with complete devotion and love of what they do. Their only motive is their pride in their country, their belief in their message, and their comprehension of the importance of such duty. Consequently, my spontaneous answer was, as you would have predicted, that I will become an ambassador. Silence enveloped the place, and then shortly, was followed by whispers and mutters. Students’ loud laughter prevailed in the place, giving the impression that they have full knowledge, based on comprehensive and extensive research studies about all the obstacles that may prevent me from achieving my ambition or its requirements, and about the impossibility of achieving my dream. Anyone who sees them would think that they already know the unseen, and are certain of the impossibility of achieving this dream and its requirements. I was under the impression that I told them that I aspire to solely make my own spaceship and travel through galaxies or to travel through time somehow.

The Art Of Emotional Venting

And with every ending comes a new beginning. Like when you finish watching your favorite TV show, or reading a great book series, or even writing a poetry book…

When an author concludes their final artwork, the piece will keep on being interpreted and left unforgotten.

This may be my last words in this emotional venting canvas but be sure to grab your own paintbrush and create your unique art story.
