10,000 hours
Monday, November 30, 2009
As per what was preached last week, or rather from the book "Outliers", I believe we are all into this 10,000 hours thingy!
I totally believe in hard work! But I also believe in our God Who doesn't just limit Himself to "1+1=2" kind of mathematical formula. For He will do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we ask or think!
Nevertheless, with the 10,000 hours theory.. I am also praying and believing God for open doors, new opportunitities, meeting those key people who will lead to new endeavours.. in other words, the kairos time! Infact in chapter one of "Outliers", the author did mention that successful people like Steve Jobs were given that ONE opportunity which opened up their lives into a new dimension! And I am truly believing God to do likewise for me as I am chasing donkeys while clocking in those 10,000 hours!
Some areas that I would really want to revive by clocking in those hours:
1) PIANO
Yeah when I posted this on facebook, some comments were like "play to the cows?" blah blah blah..
But I am serious, not joking for I was actually about to complete my grade 8 of piano when I pleaded with my mum to let me off as I was having my A levels.. As usual, I promised her I would resume but of course that didnt happen at all! hahaha If I were my mum, I will be sooooo SIAN!
Anyway, music has always been a part of me. It is a channel for me to unleash and to zoom into another zone.. So I have decided that when I am settled into my new place, I will get myself a piano and take some refresher course once again. At least Javier is also learning piano now so that will spur me to get started too!
2) Exercise
THis is so cliche but YES, I am really in need of it. Not so much of weight loss (though that is a HUGE motivation) but also to ensure my health is in a tip top state. Mmmmm, Juslin's blog on her weight loss regime really inspired me.. but I think I will just start on simple exercise like jogging and perhaps resume my Yoga sessions again!
3) Recruitment
Yeah have not been recruiting much this year. So I have decided to clock in the 10,000 hours worth of recruitment from next year onwards! With the hard work plough in, God is going to do the rest and create that miracle for me!
4) Media Exposure
Hahaha what's this all about? Well, Did I mention that more than 10 years ago I was actually involved in a Mac TVC while waiting for my A level results? Well, recently there were some opportunities opened for casting for some TVCs as well. In fact in the last 10 years, I have rejected a lot of these opportunities as the money is not really fantastic and the casting sessions can be quite cumbersome. Nevertheless, I feel that these exposures will do good for me as it will force me to face new people and new things and I will also need to put back that confidence in me. So I am actually "forcing" myself to do these stuff.. So don't be surprised if you do see me appearing in your TV box one of these days! LOL!
The list goes on, but think that will be all for now.. will add on as I zoom into Dec and plan for next year!:)
Excited!
Toodles!
