Events + Response = OUTCOME

Been busy listening to the online seminars. I just want to share what I had learned from the online seminars by a Speaker Mr Jeffrey Goh.

I had attended Mr Goh courses conducted by civil service college of singapore in December. The 2 days courses really knock me down with what he had to share. I didnt realised that Jeffrey is one of the speaker in this Skyquestcom program. When I saw his name and picture (heehhee..he is an old man), I immediately click on it to listen to him.

What impressed me most about Jeffery is that he is always "on the ball". Even he is old, yes, he admit that himself, he never stop learning. Enough of him.

What I had learned through his speaking is what I really want to share here.

Citing himself as an example, Jeffery taught that what ever situation you are face with, if your response is positive, the outcome can be positive too. Many a time, some friends will send us an email to remind ourselves on this. But its kind of read it, forget it story.
Its the same as our daily life, we choose to go to work everyday in response to our responsiblity to feed the children, ourselve, our siblings or whoever that is our responsiblity lies on. Our response for the events (that is = responsiblilties) leads us to work. We work until we forgot to spend life with our family. We forget the real meaning of building up the family. We only focus on the outcome that is to get money, salary, wages, paycheck..you can called whatever the outcome of your works leads to. At the end of the day, we got what we want, to put the bread, rice, noodle or those fastfood on the table for our family. Beside, we work hard to pay our bills, bring up the children. What else? Credit card bills, phone bills, fuel bills, you are surrounded by bills. You slave yourselve to pay the bills and to bring back food for your family.

Dont you realised one thing? Dont you want to spend your little time with your family seeing your children grow?.

Jeffery do managed to opened up my mind. For now, events in my life are being an employee to feed myself, to settle all my bills months after months. I asked myself, what is the outcome to all this in the long run?. Hhhmmm, now I know where is my real destination is. I dont want to be tied up all my life doing what I'm doing now. But for now, I will give myself some times to learn more and reach the ultimate goals in life. To live life to what Life is About. Not slave to my employer, neither slave myself to pays all those bills. If your are keen to join me ..come in.

Oh ya! by the way, Jeffery emphasised that one can never too old to learn. Learning and study are two different words. We study when we are in school. Study to sit for the exam. Now if you tell yourself, you still got the enery to study, then I guess you better check the different meaning of the word study verses learn.

So folks, Learn as much as you can....be a winner not a loser. Adious.
