Why worry

It’s 2am. I’m sitting in my home office, reading a book just brought an hours ago entitle “Persuasion”. My family is slept. In this quiet moment, reflecting the life journey that I had travel till now. Music has helped me get through very painful and difficult times. It’s offered me inspiration and courage when I needed it. It made my life more colorful, more remembrance.

“Why worry”, This song is part of me, part of my journey. Such a beautiful song. It the song that I need it most to “get over the hump” when your life is not quite right, or when your feeling is not quite joyful. Don't worry buddy! there will be laughter after pain.

Baby I see this world has made you sad
Some people can be bad
The things they do, the things they say
But baby I'll wipe away those bitter tears
I'll chase away those restless fears
That turn your blue skies into grey
Why worry, there should be laughter after the pain
There should be sunshine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now
Baby when I get down I turn to you
And you make sense of what I do
I know it isn't hard to say
But baby just when this world seems mean and cold
Our love comes shining red and gold
And all the rest is by the way
Why worry, there should be laughter after pain
There should be sunsh ine after rain
These things have always been the same
So why worry now

Credit doesn't matter for authentic leader

It doesn’t matter what other people think of you, its only matter what you think of yourself. We waste so much energy worrying about the opinions of others, wanting to be liked. Authentic leadership and real personal mastery are all about rising above social approval to self-approval. So long as you are living by your values, being authentic, running your own race and pursuing your dreams, why worry what others else thinks or feels or says about you? Success isn’t a popularity contest, what matters most is whether you were true to yourself.

It’s so human to crave applause and recognition and acclaim. We all want to be appreciated by our peers and revered by the team. But leadership is about a lot more than trying to look good in the eyes of others. Leadership is not popularity contest too. “You can accomplish anything in life, provided that you do not mind who gets the credit”, say Harry Truman. Leave your ego at home when you go to work today and just do superb work.

You can never walk alone to greatness

Who is in your inner circle? Are you in a master mind group, people closest to you who are integral for success together. To be successful you need to be part of a team, no mankind can succeed and walk alone in this earth. In a team, some of them are faster than you, some of them are slower. As part of the team, we do these things:

Serve them. Let them lead and explore, assist them when it helps. Stretch them out of their comfort zone, but not out of their gift zone
Mentor them. Answer their questions, the best way to mentor is lead by action, motivate by result, inspire by word. Advise, direct and correct them when they are out of focus or alignment will make a difference.

Value them. Listen to their ideas, respect their positions, and never undermine their authority. When they can fly don’t block their way.

Reward them. Take good care of those who take good care of you. Winning with people. Nobody can have enough recognition

Think replacement. Learn this from chairman club, Nani Rancel. Always think of expanding your inner circle, never be contend with what you have now. Don’t wait for your team to explode so that your business will explode. Think Replacement, whatever you had now keep on duplicating. As the wise man say” your future is at the palm of your hand”
