1:16 PM" .. idea is that leadership at its most fundamental is about moving people in a certain direction- usually through changing the direction of their thinking and their actions. And the way to do is not necessarily by charging out front and saying Follow Me, but by empowering or pushing others to move forward ahead of you.
It is through empowering others that we impart our own leadership or ideas. It is valuable in every arena of life.... We see it at home when parents have family meeting to guide their children toward sensible rules and behavior, rather than simply laying down the law. "
Well written.
Saturday, September 04, 2010 1:52 PMDad fetched me from camp yesterday and we were talking about my future, career and all. It seems that he has very high expectations on me and he kept encouraging me to have a higher ambitions.
It seems that whenever I talked about my future, what i'm gonna do after Army and University life, I always have this strange feeling. Feeling of excitement and unsure of what God is planning for you.
May be I should quote what my Dad said yesterday which i agree.
" High expectations comes with high disappointment. That's life that we gotta learn to handle it". =)
Saturday, February 20, 2010 1:15 AMDay after day, i asked God why am i feeling this way. Why so frustrated? Why feel so down? Why can't i do more in church and in my life? Do i have stay low? hmm. Lower my standards towards how i serve in church? hmm.
Sometimes i tried to have a positive mindset towards during this period, it's just so so difficult.
Initially, the thought of coming out seems so pleasing, but now it isn't anymore. Sometimes there isn't much rest for me when i come out.
I think now things seemed more and more mundane to me. =/.
Monday, February 01, 2010 2:40 PMThis quote will be familiar to those who watched the movie Invictus by Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon. Actually i don't really quite understand the complete meaning of this quote. Been pondering for quite some time. haha.
Similarly, i was talking to zachary the other day how to lead a girls group effectively. He shared to me this famous quote which i believe, speaks volume about how a girl actually thinks and how they live their lives privately. I think only girls themselves can truly understand the meaning of this quote, after all, its written by a girl. haha
Our Greatest Fear —Marianne Williamson
it is our light not our darkness that most frightens us
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other
people won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of
God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.
—Marianne Williamson
Coincidentally, this famous saying was often included in speeches given by Nelson Mandela ( acted by Morgan Freeman in Invictus).
GAME.

Wednesday, January 13, 2010 3:02 PMSo many factors to consider. Let's ask God. =D
Sunday, December 13, 2009 1:00 PMAnyway, i just plucked out my wisdom tooth about a week ago, now there's this deep deep hole on the bottom right corner of my mouth. That hole can contain about 5 grains of rice or bits of chicken etc. So don't be surprise if you see my in toilet using a syringe to spray water into my mouth. haha.
Last Saturday life group leader's meeting was great. It was really a refreshing time of prayer/intercession and worship. Seriously speaking i can't remember the last time i prayed that long ever since i enlisted into army. God really spoke to me and after the meeting i know that i've met God again.
As i was sharing to the people of NorthEast yesterday during NE prayermeeting that our heart must never die down, the fire in our hearts must keep on burning. Once our fire stops burning for him, our thirst, hunger and desire for him will be relinquished. The very foundation that builds a christian life is our hunger for more of his presence/word/spirit. This aspect will be the one that brings us joy and drive us to persevere in times of trouble or hardships. So let's keep our flame burning brightly! Omg, this sounds like SA school song. =).
Ok, i don't know when i will be blogging again. The next whole entire week i will be in camp. I think i will be out only for one day. I can't wait for the end of next year, where my friends and I will shout ORD loh! haha.
Oh Oh Oh. I chanced upon this photo just now. Donavan you gonna hate me for this. HAHAHA
