Got this from one Self Leadership Int newsletter:
"Just do it" is the Nike creed; "build it and they will come" says the Kevin Costner character in Field of Dreams. Whilst these maxims may seem selfish or gung ho, they do reveal the power of self-belief and intentionality. When we believe in ourselves and set an intention to do something, we become an 'attractor' and draw to ourselves the people and resources we need to complete the project. Will it be easy? Unlikely, nothing worthwhile is usually easy. Will it be rewarding and satisfying? Absolutely!
some encourage for self. Just Do It!!

n it lingers on...
we had a membership event today. i've heard of Ms Shirley Quek, Director of HR for STB, a thousand times, but only got to meet her today. Her seemingly quiet voice spoke the loudest words i've heard for the past few mths.
"..if you define yourself by your job, then u shd reali be thinking again. of coz u r not! u r more than ur job! dun let everything pass by like sitting in a bullet train. Learn to be curious and ask qn again. do something u'll stay inquisitive. whr does your train of life leads u to?"
".. we will not be wat we want to be if we remain whr we are today."
"... learn to let go."
it was a whole hr of sharing of her own pursuing of knowledge as a HRD person, and how as she got more curious abt Change and shifting mindset, she learnt further. She also shared with us her personal experience when facing with choices. one of the participants, an mature Indian HR professional, was moved to tears. i chocked slightly. be it the difficulties of doing work in making changes in orgnaisation or balancing work & life or pursuing what she wanted, her words has touched many of us in different ways. though her session started 4.45pm, but everyone in the room stayed attentive & engaged.
I dun usually seat in for such sessions, but i was there coz i need to open the presentation file for her, so i sat thru. I'm glad i there...maybe it's meant to be.
