LEVEL 5

Level 5 leaders channel their ego needs away from themselves and into the larger goal of building a great company.

It's not that Level 5 leaders have no ego or self-interest.

Indeed, they are incredibly ambitious-but their ambition is first and foremost for the institution, not themselves.

“If a man wishes to be sure of the road he treads on, he must close his eyes and walk in the dark.”

CAR WASHING

Like every sheltered carpark, there's 2 washing bays.
This guy, who's finished with his, simply just walk away.

A hour later, still no sign of him returning to drive his car to a proper parking lot. During this hour, cars just drove pass taking a peek at whether there's space for washing. Unfortunately none. Its doesnt cost anything just to be a lil considerate. To show a lil more care. A lil more love.

Had my tee wet with sweat after im done with the washing with my dad.
My dad. He's a quiet man. Occassionally jokes abit. But he never failed to be there.
Like any other traditional chinese dad, he's strict with us kids (yap. no matter how old you are, you are still kids in your parents eyes =) ). Yet like any other dad, you find that you dont really know what he's thinking, he's thoughts, he's idea.
But you know one thing for sure, no matter what, he's always there. You can always call on him when there's a need. =) That's my dad.

Recently i read a interesting article. It said that we, human tends to find our sponse with character or look similar to our parents. i.e. If you a girl, your sponse resemble your dad in some ways; if you a guy, your wife resemble your mum in certain ways. I guess there's some true to this, since most of us grow up with our parents. Their characters do rub on us alot even if we never notice. =)


Anyway, dont feel bored when you need to clean the house, wash the car with your parents. Its a way to bond =)

When Love Is Not Enough

http://www.canville.net/malone/lovenotenough.html

I happened to wonder upon this site. Which I must said that i agreed with the author.

As quoted: “Love doesn’t just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread, remade all the time, made new…, all the time, made new…”

I have blind spots and lots of them.
I going TO change. Its for my own good. For my loves ones.

To be a better man~

两只恋人

http://www.imeem.com/people/iXiMZ-/music/5WPi1tZk

傻傻两个人
许过一个愿

当时星星眨着眼
看起来并不远

为你长翅飞
为你被风吹

请你千万要等我
带幸福来给你的那一天

春天散步夏天看海秋天数落叶
(我们)一直没有烦恼
一直没有争吵
让 每天像糖一样甜

冬天飘雪我是棉被温暖你的夜
一直在你身边
一直爱到永远
你 就负责靠着我的肩


贴着你的脸
拍一张照片

世界是很复杂的
要靠我近一点

但愿你每天
幸福又安全

两只恋人手牵手
谁也不用再跑给谁去追

How To Be A Gentleman

By Brian Christensen & Daniel McLean


When you hear the word “gentleman” it brings to mind several characteristics and qualities that would distinguish it from the word “man.” Man is a more general classification of gender, where as gentleman, separates itself as a specific type of man.


There’s the traditional gentleman. We’ve all heard that a gentleman opens a door for a lady. He also pulls out her chair when she sits down for a nice meal. A gentleman is polite. He never belches in front of a lady, and on the occasion that one slips past, always excuses himself. A gentleman always says thank you and please, and is attentive to all conversations. These are all the things that your grandmother taught you to do.

These are the courtesies that we dust off on prom, or when we take that special someone out for an elegant evening. But, being a gentleman is more than just opening the door for a young lady when you take her out on a date. Being a gentleman is a way of life. A gentleman exhibits exceptional qualities and character within himself and in his interaction with others. These traits closely resemble the character of our Master, Jesus Christ. Jesus is the perfect man and gentleman!

We all fall short of this perfect model, but He’s always there to show us the path. It’s up to all of us to walk it. If you want to be loved, you have to be lovable. Gentleness is love in action. Being considerate, meeting the needs of others, allowing for another person to talk and being willing to learn and grow are essential traits for both men and women. James 3:17,18 tells us that the wisdom from God is pure, peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. James goes on to say, “the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace and by those who make peace.” Being a gentleman is also being genuine and paying attention to detail.

A man can be a gentleman by doing things for other people such as helping church members move, or painting their house. Helping a co-worker with a task is another good way to help someone. Sometimes people just need to talk. One of the best ways to be a gentleman is to have a shoulder for someone to cry on. We all have problems in life that we need to talk about with someone else. It’s important to be there for a friend or family member when something is bothering them.

A lot of the time people will confide small things with you. Quite often, these are just the surface thoughts of a much bigger issue. Being a gentleman is being there to listen to anyone when they have these problems. It could be a church member, a family member, friend, or co-worker. No matter who it is, it’s important to listen to them. You don’t really even have to have a solution to their problem. It’s a healing process just to vent, and part of being a Christian and a gentleman is to listen.


A gentleman is not overly concerned with himself. We all have our own problems and issues to deal with, but part of the mission that Christ left with us is to love one another. That’s a difficult thing to do sometimes. When someone cuts us off, our first thought is probably not, “Well, he’s just having a bad day and has other problems.” We usually respond with a long train of explicatives and a not so Christian gesture. When you have a reaction like that, stop to think about how many times you might have done that to someone else.

James 3:1-16 shows us that no one, except Jesus, is perfect. We all stumble and must watch ourselves carefully to control the whole body. Even the smallest of things can affect everyone. James uses examples of a horse’s bit and the rudder of a ship. These items are very small in comparison to the larger, powerful objects they affect and control. He then explains how our tongue is a small member that can boast great things and defile the whole body. Our tongue can be like a small match that can burn down a vast forest. It can set a course for disaster and be fueled by Satan. We simply cannot bless our God and curse men out of the same mouth! “Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom” (James 3:13).

Being a gentleman is more than holding a door open, or giving flowers to someone. These actions are good, however, the actions of a gentleman go much further and deeper. To be a true gentleman, we must start by studying and understanding the life and character of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. When we allow God’s wisdom to mold and shape our character, we then become more like Christ and exhibit true love in our daily life and relationships. Being a gentleman is more than just talk. It is love in action.


love in action. i need more action

HEART OF A CHILD

"A child can always teach an adult three things:
To be happy for no reason.
To always be busy with something.
And to know how to demand with all his might that which he desires."


Having the heart of a child means: child-like
Its not childish but a mind marked by innocence, trust, and ingenuousness.
A mind that's playful, open, unrestrained by the inner voice of reason and know no fear of failure.

Babies are cute. =)
For some reason, most babies love me.
Whenever one passesby, they will give me a big smile.

In Alison Gopnik's Scientist in the Crib, she stated that:
"Babies are just plain smarter than we are, at least if being smart means being able to learn something new.... They think, draw conclusions, make predictions, look for explanations and even do experiments….

開天窗 - May Day

http://www.imeem.com/rainsun/music/WGT5bZ1a/may_day_open_window




只鲸鱼 要怎么放进冰箱
打开门 然后用力关冰箱
然后呢 如果你还想要 放一只大象
一份希望 要怎么放进心脏
如果你 活的有一点悲伤
答案是 用力丢掉鲸鱼 用力甩悲伤


是谁说半夜不能吃便当
是谁说彩虹不能长头上
是谁说蓝色就等于忧伤

你看看天空和海洋
顺风时就展开双翅飞翔
逆风时就当成在冲浪
没有风的时候那就让我 开开天窗

一句歌词 怎么让你很难忘
方文山 林夕和我都在想
想破头 也钻不进一个 紧闭的心房

一个难题 要用多少的智商 多少泪 还有多少的盼望
多少人 变成紧闭门窗 孤独的国王

是谁说半夜不能吃便当
是谁说彩虹不能长头上
是谁说蓝色就等于忧伤

你看看天空和海洋
顺风时就展开双翅飞翔
逆风时就当成在冲浪
没有风的时候那就让我 开开天窗

是谁说半夜不能吃便当
是谁说彩虹不能长头上
是谁说蓝色就等于忧伤

你看看天空和海洋
顺风时就展开双翅飞翔
逆风时就当成在冲浪
没有风的时候那就让我 开开天窗

是谁说半夜不能吃便当
是谁说彩虹不能长头上
是谁说蓝色就等于忧伤

你看看天空和海洋
顺风时就展开双翅飞翔
逆风时就当成在冲浪
没有风的时候那就让我 开开天窗(OPEN)

拉拉拉拉…………………………….
拉拉拉拉…………………………….

我是OPEN匠快乐一天天,一直OPEN
我是OPEN匠快乐的一天,跟你一起OPEN
哦噢噢噢…………………………….
