GLOG 4


Talking about the "what I am passionate about" conversation. That is a question I have no consistent answer to you. Does it mean I halt my life till that question is answered? No. It's always in my consciousness to know what I was born to do. Every fibre of my being desires to latch on to what it is. It is the longing of my heart all day and night. I will find it. Between then and now, I will be faithful and diligent in what I find to do with my hands. I have learnt that the way to develop interest in what you have no interest or flair for is to learn more about it. This takes discipline. Distancing your thoughts and intelligence away from that chore that you abhor will institutionalize the apathy. This trouble with this distancing mindset is that it wastes precious time, and you have no story to tell also of how you got victory in this situation because one thing is for sure, many are in the same arrangement in life. What story can you give to inspire someone going through the same journey? I have indeed tested and seen that seeking new knowledge and ways to enhance your performance in that activity you hate is a game changer. All of a sudden, you are seeking an opportunity to test your knowledge and work becomes a playground and a laboratory to practise your new knowledge and findings. I find myself seeking better ways to do what I do, better ways to make life easier for my customers at work. So, I seek not just knowledge that puffs me up but what I can apply to the work of my hands. That way, what I have no interest becomes interesting when I come at it with purpose.

GLOG 6

My preparation out of season is more important to me than what I do in season. I have always understood that, for example, if you want to be nice to your customers at work, and you find that you are always livid or you have a short span of patience towards them, the total solution is not just a one-hour motivational talk or coaching during work. It's more about incorporating niceness into your lifestyle. You have to be intentional nice outside work, when you don't need it, when you are not being corporately assessed on niceness. If you can win that out of season or out of work discipline, it would spill over into work effortless because you have now built yourself that way, it's now your personality, rather than an occasional performance or a hat that you wear on and off. Any skill you want to have for work has to be diligently pursed when you don't need it. The goal is to routinize it so you can output it always. If I want to bring creative ideas to work daily, I must ...
