One step at the time

YES, another step to achieve my new year resolution.

Not a six figure yet but it will be eventually. By then, I can cross the new year resolution.

Had the mid week PDT and it's pretty interesting guest speaker , one of them is Jack Daly (http://jackdaly.net/) . He mentioned that if you want to achieve any goal , the simplest step you can take is "PUT IT IN WRITING" . I found out this is so TRUE...... what I did write last year and I achieved it.

I guessed when you writing it , you kinda put some effort and commitment towards it! It gives you a direction on what you should do. He said the next step will be break into the small little action that you can measure on with specific deadlines.

Deadlines is a MAD key word in all corporate history , do you know WHY?

Without it , ppl won't have sense of urgency and just take their time. In the environment where all been measured by profit and cost , it just doesn't add up if you work without deadlines.

Imagine this happens :

You've been given 3months to finish the assignment , what most ppl will do ?
I bet you know the answer , waited for 2 1/2 month before started to look into it. How's inefficient ?
If you have only 1day to finish it , you'll definitely start it ASAP.

I always think that my life is my own corporation. I am running my own so-called "board of director" as to what I will decide in my life . I created my own sense of urgency and deadlines on achieving my goals.

Exciting week

Ghee..... it has been a really hectic week so far!

Last Sunday - we went for the City2Surf Run , wake up 6am and finished @4pm.Had a early dinner and went back and you can guess what happen next.........sleeping the whole night.All aching starting to take its territory....only sleep and a pray can help.But I am a secular minded person so the latter wasn't a preferred option.

Monday - busy day in the office to prepare the staff for the next 2 days since I would be away for the conference.

Tuesday - wake up 4am to catch a coach ,which never arrived until 6am, to Hunter Valley .Damn I gotta wait in central station for 1hr in freezing winter cold.I could've join the homeless ' conversation around the bond fire.....:P Well it's totally my fault anyway since I deleted the invitation email sent last week. Arrived at the conference , rego and started an exciting conference , team building (we made some short movie with the theme of "Brokeback Mountain" so gay) and listening to some crap until 5pm. Once the movie been released , I'll post it here.

Anyway I been nominated for the "best cameramen" but I was close but not close enough !!

Had the boring gala dinner with bunch manager I haven't got the clue. Sat next to the gay guy who laughing all the way when they played the movies everyone created. I wasn't sure if it was a funny clip or he just drank too much white wine ( that like 5-7 glasses ). Finished at 12pm!

Wednesday - Wake up @6am, couldn't sleep properly.A much better day in conference , no much thinking process needed. Hearing and listening to the big boss said and listening to a heroic speaker , who conquer the everest with his amputated toes and no oxygen. A good story about survival and been a positive and always look something that you can and want to achieve in life.

Thursday + Friday - Catch up the work I left behind the past 2days . Gotta work smarter coz on of my staff didn't come to work Her son got really sick. Went for the long and full paid lunch ( I swear this the 1st time I went for 1.5hr lunch) with one of the mobile lender.Nice!!

That sum up my tiring and short week!
