Ponding Between Hard Choices of Family and Works

This is an interesting week fo rme. I received an assignment to balance beween work and family. 

 The first task is to balance between my daughter first performance and a client who surprizes and threantens my business. The client wants me to meet him and cancel my daughter's performance. I can do that. It can be very hurtful and the memory will last for a long time if I suddenly change my mind to go away from her event. The girl will feel that her parent does not center around what she is being proud of. Her heart will silently break deeply and it will take a long time to heal the wound. If I choose to leave her behind, she will leave her family behind and center herself around money which is misguided pursuit of happiness.


I think it is enjoyable to deal with client who does run into my only when there is a crisis. It is more satisfying that I deal with client who is open to my team, instead of only want to secretly deal with me. I want to succeed as a team. I have rejected many clients who asked me to help during the last minute or as the last resort. So, rejecting another client in crisis like this is not a big deal for me.

 

The second task is about divorce or fame with coaching. Whatever I do, I will accommodate or adjust to align with my family. My Church leaders teach me to prioritize the family. Example: No success can compensate the failure in the home. I do not want to succeed at the expense of my wife and family.  I also learn this teaching “Marry the one your love and love the one your marry”.  This means that I must be willing drop something or change something to feed my relationship. I can drop some matching events or some activities in my schedules so that I have enough time with my wife and children. Basically, I will tell her that I will make sure to balance between coaching and having sufficient time with family. With that commitment, I will ask her to keep this event, but if she really wants me to cancel this event, I will have to do it.

My Most Meaningful Habit: Begin with the End in Mind

  Out of the seven habits of highly effective people, my most meaningful habit it “Begin with the End in Mind”. The book reads “ There’s a mental or first creation, and a physical or second creation. The first creation can be either by conscious design, or as a result of outside pressures. In real life, w hen the artist draws something, he already has a clear picture of what he is drawing. It is not possible that he draws when he is thinking about what to draw. If I have a clear vision of my destination, my efforts would be more effective and productive in my daily activities. When we begin with the end in mind, our lives cam be more meaningful and stay on the righteous personal constitution. The book explains that a personal constitution is a written standard, the key criterion by which everything is evaluated and direct. Personal constitution shows the end state in mind. It shows who we are, what we do and what valued we are based on. Without it, we will wander around back and ...

Gratitude, Lifelong Learning, Hurdles of the Enterprepreneur and the Risks

  This is week 13 of the course of Introduction to the Entrepenurship. This week my Church leader taught about the gratitude. We should reflect and thanks those who have been helpful to us such as father, mother, teacher, friends, and especially God. After that I had to answer questions for my assignment. Question: How did being a lifelong learner benefit Haykin's career? How could it benefit yours? My Answer:  Kaykin is a lifelong learner and his lifelong learning benefits so much to his career. He went to study at Harvard Business School. He focused on entrepreneurship and technology. His professors persuaded him to get experience in sales and dealing with customers so that he would become a leader someday, and he took the advice. He learned from his responsibilities as a Multimedia Developer Program manager. He had to do many tasks starting from development until product delivery and to work with many people. He learned to notice extra opportunities.  He learned a...
