you're the one for me >>
but I do not know who and where you are........... < ">

You can call me Noi! This blog consists of my thoughts. I am just a simple person with BIG dreams! Like the charcoal, hot pressure and extreme heat must be present in order to create a Diamond. I am in the exact same process.

How time flies! It is already Sunday night and tommorrow I have to be in school in the morning again. It is not that I do not like going to school but I think until now, I have not adjusted myself yet. Its like every time I am there, I have to be proactive and look for teachers to plan the time for the boys to see me. There is no predictability and I really hate that. I hope by the time TP is over, I will remain sane.

I really like the picture and saying above. It was my wallpaper on my laptop for some time. I guess I find looking at nature soothing and relaxing. I always dreamed of living near nature where there arent too many people when I retire. It is still achievable.

The 1 week break was good but I only took one day to not do anything regarding work. The week before was so mentally exhausting that I almost broke down but thank goodness God instilled in me more strength that I originally thought I had. I spent the week getting organised, cleaning up and arranging the mountain of papers and files in my room, getting cards laminated, doing lesson plans and worksheets, the list can go and on. Whoever says this is a break is seriously mistaken. The nice fact about last week is that I got to meet the fellow SNO gang! In the midst of our very busy TP, we managed to squeeze the time to meet and it was worth it. It seems that everyone has their own challenges, either with students, teachers, school, ST, NSC but at the end of the day, we are all here to support each other. Lets face it, there are only around 80 SNOs in the whole of Singapore. We need the support system.

Hmm..where shall I start? I have not been able to write in thanks to my hectic life so I have so many things muddled in my head that I want to write about. Ok, lets start with my announcement that we have our first Diamond Direct in Singapore! Woohoo! The best part is that they are non other than from our Britt team! Congrats to Diana Lim and Sonny. When a diamond emerges, the whole britt team wins.

Now let me mention about the team meeting on Saturday. It was so phenomenal and I certainly got my 5 bucks worth! It was really too bad that I miss two of my favourite people who was not able to be there but my hope is you will share my excitement when I tell you what happen.

The leaders are all so full of wisdom and I guess that is why they are on stage. William Anthony mentioned about Johari window. He always like to use this window and I cannot agree more how useful this was for me. You see, everyone has a blind spot and that is what uplines are for in this business. All upsets are opportunities to know the truth. Sometimes we would rather hear what we want to hear but only our true friends will be willing to tell the truth. Yes it may hurt at times but for me, I would rather know the truth than live my life in my own delusion. No matter what, the highest form of leverage is education. Your pursuit of knowledge must have a destination. Looking for knowledge with nothing in mind for and end will be a waste of time.

For things to change, I must change.

That is why despite being bombarded with so many different challenges, I have not lost the clarity of my purpose and goals. There are others who loses that clarity and as things get faded, your dreams will fade away too. I am sad if yours has faded but that does not mean that mine will follow suit.

For I have always had a fear of mediocrity. I was not born to be average. I was not born to only exist and my existence will be forgotten after I am long gone. I was born to win. I was born to live and to be remembered for my actions that impact many lives. Lives that became better because of my presence.

The greatest danger is not setting a high goal and missing it. The greatest danger is setting a goal too low and achieving it. -- Vincent Yong

I was blown away. The teachings are in my heart and it will soon flow to my hands and then converted to actions. I shall take action now. Time is sacred. I have to make full use of it.

I pray as though everything depends on God but I shall get things done as though everything depends on me.
