Convince, Confuse and Con

7 Weeks on... and i really learn and realize a lot on human behaviour. What does it takes to be a good commander? my opinion is a good commander is the first man to rise and the last man to fall. Ever heard this phrase "the captain goes down with the ship"? the higher your status in society, the lesser personal time you will have. because most of the time you spend is on someone you lead.

A Commander must be someone that is able to give clear instructions and stand firm on orders. He must be able to make sure everyone execute things at the right place and right time. But how you draw the line between informing and annoying people? Sad to say, i have come across officers to be who whines at just being a In-Charge. How would the officer be able to lead in the future?

Anyway, took my Grade 8 Theory Exam today. I think there is a slim chance of passing the paper because in the first place, i don't know what i am writing. haha.. Oh well... Pray for the Best! I will just go ahead with my diploma no matter what the results is because its not a pre-requsite.

Learnt this over the week. "If I can't convince you, I will confuse you. If I can't convince and confuse you, I will con you!" Pretty cool eh... The 3 C's.

Till then...

5 Weeks flew by... Mind over matters

ok ok.. my birthday was last week rite? haha! celebrated my birthday in camp la. Birthday song n paper card from the commanders. old le... grr... officially an adult. great responsiblities and challenges ahead.

so by now, i have started on my BMT phase of training. lots of technical stuffs to learn and remember.

for the 2nd time round, was on medical status the past 3 days. so have to sit out of training because of leg injury. Eh.. this time round was asked to go see the medical officer by my platoon commander. me being stubborn la.. didn't recover the first time round yet continue my training. so was limping round and always the slowest guy around. oh anyway, had to go for physio therapy. i think it was good. learn how to stretch myself properly. i must learn how to walk properly! recovering recovering... but the tekong cough still there la. damn irritating, coz a lot of people got it. so during lecture, people will keep on coughing when there is lesson! grr..

events occurred the past week has made me realise what it takes to be a good leader. besides having good orgainzational n management skills. another important skill needed is interpersonal skill. perfectionist. is it important in life? just can't tolerate a leader that pick on tiny little mistakes anything, anywhere and anytime.

have lots of questions in my mind left unanswered..

oh oh...! i passed my piano practical!! news kinda old la. hehe..! planning to take my diploma next. perhaps diploma in instrumental teaching.

Mind over Matters! Till then..

Auf Wiedersehen!
