Lessons in life...
It's truly an amazing thing to be alive! However, I realized that there are people who treasures lives but are on the verge of losing their lives to sicknesses and illnesses. On the other hand, there are those who did not treasure lives and are living healthy life. What ironic thing is this?
These are just some thoughts which just got into my mind. Although I do not know why am I thinking about these but it's true to a certain extend.
I was reminded of 6th Nov 2005, the day when I was supposed to go out with those kids from Club Rainbow, but I was too late to go and meet up with them. Anyway, was able to join my friends for dinner at Marina area...
While settling down, I realized that there was this lady seated at a table's distance away from me, catching my eyes. When I took a clearer look, I was rather surprised to have seen her. It's been about more than 12 years ago that I last met her. Alright, shall not play the "suspense" game. She's none other than my "first love"; my first girlfriend... (I guess, I shall not talk anymore about her since its such a long time ago)
I am glad that she's well and is having another boyfriend now. I also realized that I no longer hate like I did before I came to Christ. I am really thankful to God regarding this matter.
I know, I'm not writing anything in focus today. Do not worry, am alright. Just want to pen some thoughts today, that's all.
In the morning, I was surprised to be able to come up with something regarding LEADERSHIP. This was what I gather from the word LEADERSHIP:
L = Leading by example
E = Encourage
A = Attitude towards people around
D = Discipleship
E = Enpowerment
R = Responsible
S = Sensitive
H = Hardworking
I = Interaction
P = Progression
This is not the basic idea but am gonna develop it to be a better way to show others what leadership is really like. First of all, I got to do it and let it be in me before I preach it to others.
