Woh...
On the tram today, I pulled out a book Joyce got for my birthday last year. It was called 'Winning With People' by John C Maxwell. It is such an interesting thing that a book that could have helped me SOOOOOO much this year was laying right under my nose all this time.
Obviously, all the principles and knowledge contained in that book would not have been the be all and end all of my leadership development in my term, but it sure would have helped me navigate through the complex world of team and human dynamics.
But I digress, what's interesting is that sometimes, you don't have to go all out to exotic places (and people) to look for the answers that you want to certain situations in your life. Sometimes, the answers ya looking for is right under 8 other books on the top left hand corner of your built in wardrobe.
Sometimes, the happiness we're looking for isnt in material things, in achievement of a goal, or even in a person or group of persons. Sometimes, we already have all we need to be happy, its just maybe, people, a goal or material things may be blocking your view to realise that you already have the happiness you need. All ya need to do is to look back and evaluate what you already have and suddenly, you stumble upon the anwser ya looking for.
Hmph... Yes. Smile people.
