Lessons from Dog walking.....

haha yeah i'm too free....so free i started thinkin of stuff i learn from dog walking.....just as i did whilst jogging.....

so dog walkin huh........what entails..
well for one.....
everytime before i set off, i'll have to check the weather......
sometimes it looks gloomy all, and i'd be apprehensive on setting out.
so i guess sometimes despite how bleak the future may seem, you'll never know until u try it out.
i've had that experience all week!!! me and forrest braved the strong winds as we set out.....so strong even my tilly hat wobbled..haha (it's suppose to tide in with the wind, sheesh) haha
oh well, and so many of these times, after 30 mins into the walk...the weather changed....and it became sunny.....so , if i hadn't taken the chance to walk the dog, i'd be home peering out to the sky and kicking myself in the gut, thinkin why i hesitated.
sorta like opportunities too......they come and go , it's up to us to pray abt it, debate , analyze and then grab it !

oh well.....that's lesson 1 for now... =)

some pts from my current read......
*the fear of failing inhibits and restricts performance and can throw cold water all over human passion.
* we have 2 choices for facing the future: we can face it with faith or with fear.
* we may not know what the future holds, but we definitely know who holds the future.
your faith in God will allow your passion to be boundless!

walk in faith mates..

Dale Carnegie... The Leader In You

quite a good read....on the whole... it took me awhile..haha

some pts:

The first step toward success is identifying your own leadership strengths.
communication is built on trusting relationships
Motivation can never be forced. People have to want to do a good job.
There's nothing more effective and rewarding than showing a genuine interest in other people.
Step outside yourself to discover what's important to someone else.
Nobody is more persuasive than a good listener.
Team players are the leaders of tomorrow.
Truly respecting others is the bedrock of motivation.
People work for money but go an extra mile for recognition, praise and rewards.
Be quick to admit mistakes, slow to criticise . Above all, be constructive.
set goals that are clear, challenging and obtainable.
Leaders never lose their focus. they keep their eyes on the big picture.
Consistently high performance comes from a balance between work and leisure.
Gain strength from the positive and don't be sapped by the negative.
Never underestimate the power of enthusiasm.

that's all for now folks.....
