THE TRAINING (the blues side of the training

New exciting experience has proved itself to change one’s life as it does to me today. 17 July 2010 must have been meaningful to many of us, be it pleasant or a complete disaster… or both. For me this is a date I want to remember as good as I remembered my wife’s birthday because today is the first day I deliver NLP training. Alhamdulillah, Allah must have blessed me a lot by giving me such a sweet, cheerful and sporting audience from Kumpulan Angkatan Muda YPU (KAMY). Although thrilling, excitement has done a very good job on releasing dopamine hormone at a very right time and a very high level. Lost in time is a new predicate for me today as what I figured out could take less than one hour has beaten 2 hour timeline easily and craving for more! State, now mean a lot to me as in this short seminar I’ve experienced a time when I operate at a very disadvantaged, uncertain and anxious state especially in the beginning of the talk, and I found that I couldn’t bring out most of the fact that I’ve rehearsed many time before. But as I get more comfortable and start to operate in a state of certainty, all the ideas popped out one by one.. easily and smoothly. Suddenly everything become crystal clear and I began to deliver the talk as if I’ve done a lot of it before.
3 weeks before this training take place, I began to study the module from my practitioner program and try to come out with a simpler but intensive yet easy to understand module. How am I surprised with my ability to compressed 8 days training into 2 hours! And I start to believe that something has gone wrong. There’s must be something that I’ve missed. And this wisdom of knowing what I do not know has brought me to a higher understanding of NLP after watching many videos and some reading from book written by the earlier and more popular NLP expert and also book from the founder of NLP. Having a basic knowledge of it make things easier and natural.
Whatever happen today be it bad or good, I hope that I succeeded in giving them the idea of how great they’re inside and how easy change can be made, if they’re willing enough

Sports, at last..

About a year ago, i was wondering why is that that I'm not as good as any other guys when compared in sports activities.. what does these guys have that give them access to almost to any type of sports available on earth.. even if they are not used to it before. While this thinking goes on and on, i committing myself to be good in playing carom as it is the most available games in my workplace.. after a while I'm getting good at it.. i even developing some personal shooting techniques that some of my colleague's reckon it as my "blagak" shot. After a while i become a good player from nothing! for those who not used to plating this game "kedai kopi" style, i tell you that it is the most painful place to start, we are yelling, cursing, de-motivating and bragging to each other. For those with weak heart, a small fight is irresistible.. and it least likely for those weak hearted fellas to comeback to the battleground ( i make it sound good isn't it.. ha ha).

3 days ago my colleage and i was introduce to a game called "pentanque" and we have to get ready for a tournament in 2 days time! so I've got the chance to test my old theory that i cant be good in sport like other guys did, because those sport-friendly guys and i is now on par. For two days we do intensive training in this very fun game. throwing these RM 650 stainless steel balls to a small balls they call jack to get as close to it as possible, and believe me its not as easy as it sound. each of us only got three balls and we need to risk it sometimes to clear the opponent's balls. On the tournament dayw e manage to go to second round before the school boys (they represent the school in this game) defeat us.. very thin winning that is.. i can see they sweating like crazy when we catch up with them so quickly. Now, what i found was.. these sport guys is no better than me is term of understanding and playing the game. Sometimes i notice that i can make better shot then them.. so what is making them better?

its our state.. sometimes we take outside information, yelling, cursing, DE-motivating and bragging too personally that we make it real for us. Its the psychology inside us. its our physiology that affect us. when we operate in weak physiology then we'll be as good as weak! its what we are focusing on that 's matter.. are we focusing on the game, or the cursing? its our internal voice... its all because of us.. and yet we continue to blame the environment....

Unleash the power within!
