humbled

it was a great time lunching with fengqi yesterday near my office yesterday. It was just barely 1.5 hrs but there is much to learn from this brother. Really give my salutes to the brothers who dare to venture and set up their own business, if not doing sales. The thought of running through the yellow pages and calling to make sale calls is unimaginable for me, prefers to be employed but it is one area that i believe that some of us have the potential to go far and make it big.

Do hope to do my part in supporting them. Must man. Network and be prepared all i can. Really enjoy such meet-ups interacting with people from various backgrounds. You never know what you will learn from them, the doors that could be opened, the grounds that can be established. The other time, during my account management course, chatted with a staff from telkom, indonesia. Shared my interest in the country, some current affairs and get the contact from him, perhaps will pay him a visit when i am there. In working life, this is such an important skill of trade to learn, knowing who is in which sector, knowing ourselves well, strengths, weaknesses. Who to connect, liaise. It does not depend on one's effort alone to survive in this corporate world. Connections is the key.

Just as i am sourcing for potential presenters for my conference, get the opportunity to meet Adrian Mok and Harn Wei, the triathlete greats in our local sport scene. It amazes me and continues to, how they derive the passion which fuels them for endurance races, mind you, they go for ironmans and not just one. And they venture into business, related to what they enjoy doing and doing it well. Is it possible for me, such a notion?

Introduced fengqi to the sports library here as well. Great! He has some ideas of how to mobilise the brothers in our subD in preparation for jan's league start. My role is that of fitness. Looking at ways in improving our running, stamina and drafting a good training programme. Gets me excited man.

really felt the humility and dependence this past week as i liaise for presenters. All these big shots. It is that kind of fear and trembling, do not know what to expect, say, converse yet know how limited, inadequate, lack of confidence I have. There are just so many areas that are beyond my control. I can't do anything about it. Cannot help but surrender all these weaknesses to Him. Especially when going for those driving lessons back-to-back these few days. Totally drained mentally yet have to clear them in order to get the test date early.

Tink this is the first time for me in working life i experienced such a thing. Learning to cope and look forward to the outcomes of this moulding process : )
