Learning

To many people, learning a new thing is not a hard job, but make all learning imprint into heart is an extermely challenging task. Or put it in a simpler way, making the memories or learning sustainable is definitely a question to many people. To me, I think the best way to make learning or ideas sustainable is by picture, but many people may not agree with me. Anyhow, maybe that's the reason companies need consulting firms to resolve many simple problems or conflicts within the organization.

To hold a workshop or training session is not difficult but what makes the session valuable be the participants attention and the constant reflection from participants. Surely, the quality of training matters a lot like how much insights/ ideas bring out or impact the participants but then it totally lies on the participant's reaction or the interaction during the session.

Anyhow, let me recapture what I did learn last few days:

In training session in HKU by Hans and Benny, (16/3)
1. The power of Silence
2. Importance of Listening
3. Power of Questions (5 Wives & 1 Husband)
4. Importance of Self-discipline
5. What team work means to the team.
6. SILENT in LISTENing + not Silent when someone's asking

IS training workshop by Ken, (17/3)
1. how to facilitate the training session
2. importance of objectives
3. importance of follow-up works
4. determined in decision making (in ex-co meet template session)

Ocean Park and UST EGM, (18/3)
1. What makes the org run healthly and efficiently
2. Importance of education
3. open-minded and honest (in dept meeting)
4. priority of works and communications models
5. Learn to relax

Basketball training, (19/3)
1. Learn to be assertive ( to go on what I plan to do)
2. better manage and allocate time

Everyday experience should be a life-changing and amazing one! But more importantly, this lies on us whether we can reflect the not only big words but also minor things in everyday life.

Big words mean nothing but small actions count a lot!

Feel relaxed!

Originally plan to head back home today after 2 weeks staying in hall and HKU, when I made a call to my mum today afternoon to tell her this "great" news. She told me that she was in hospital and I was scared to ask the reasons. She told me that she just goes there for body check-up. Then, I changed my plan to go to visit her in St. Teresa's Hospital. I was staying there for about 1.5 hours. Felt so relaxed when chatting with my mum about my work and kinda like updating her what I wish to do in the coming days. So glad that she supports me in my work in AIESEC and agrees to subsidize me to the Philippines for IM. ^.^ But then this is not what I want but I am really touched that I have a mother like this. Your every single words to encourage me means so much to my life. THANKS again. I bet that you did not invest wrongly on your son!!!!!!

A life without any enouragement will make one suffer a lot. So, appreciation again could help a lot in your life and other's life.

After meeting mum, I realized that I need time to relax and hang out. Again, I realize that my life lacks discipline and I have really too focused on one thing already. What makes my life enjoyable then? Needless to figure out since I know it very well, but next, I need to work it out.

Innovation -- everything starts in an innovative way is not easy but what we mean here is to make little changes in something which cause great impacts or impression on others. Still remember the theory? K.I.S.S <-- I like this!

Several things to work on:
1.) Self-dsicipline
2.) Influencing power
3.) K.I.S.S
