Repetition

When I am doing something and it doesn't go the way I wanted sometimes my mind just want to say "Hey, maybe this tool doesn't work?" or "Maybe this things were not meant for me". Well, before I decide any further I just have to find one person who's able to use the tool and very successful doing it and start question myself "What makes the tool effective?" "What makes a great picture is it the camera alone or the man behind the lens?" My buddy out there I hope you are in agreement with this, he is one of the talented cameraman I've known, even he has to take 300 picture and sort out 3 to 5 picture only at the end. Seeing from the rate of succesful picture seems to be 1%. Would that be considered good enough on the tool or the person?

After pondering it a bit then comes a new question it may not be the tool it may not be the person, what then? If I can take from Tony he said "Repetition is mother of all skills". So when you have the resources intact it is about doing it again and again to perfection. When you have the passion and if you are in "your" state 300-500 repetitions means nothing. Managing state is also important my favorite word for repetition is "Perseverance" you can have any word that you relate to and just hang it in front of your work station it can be consistent, persistent or it can be as bizzarre as I am bull! or you can even put a picture of light bulb just to remind you of how many attempts that Thomas Alva Edison did.

In order for all things to happen need to have such high probabilities and interdependencies if it happens to you then there is a reason behind it. How you always represent this as your feedback instead of unsuccesful attempt is a must.

I am not saying there would not be time when we have to move out and see it from other perspective and try to analyse what we have been doing, it would be insane expecting different result from exact same process.

It just, there is a need to strike balance between analysing and doing repetition. You can't analyse why the rice hasn't cook yet if you keep opening the rice cooker and checking each and every sample of rice.

Check your tool has it been used before?
Check the man behind the tool has he modeled correctly?
Check your state?
Check the amount of repetition? - Mastery is an art there is no exact number for each person.

Bizzarre Coincidence or Law of Attraction

When I am about to go home, nature called and not the small one, a bit delay going out from the office around 17:30. I went to my usual cab station, normally there would be around 5 cabs in a row because I am late there is only one cab left, an old Limo type not my favorite I always wanted to Neo Nissan - much comfortable back seat. In any case not much choice only one taxi left anyway. So I took it.

When I was inside the cab driver asked politely that he would turn on the meter. I am quite surprise on his greeting and then I smell "compound", it's what u use when you got scratch, he said sorry about that because he just got scratch by a bike. I said "Yeah,I know been there done that". From there we have quite a good conversation next thing I know he said oh btw I use EFT when I have this kind of moment. It took me by surprise how in the hell this cab driver knows about EFT, SEFT and finally he revealed himself as one of human resources trainer. Another surprise! What the hell a trainer do as a cab driver is he in financial problem? Before my mind got distorted even further he explained to me that he is doing a research and he has been doing this for a good 6 month and today is actually his last day, tomorrow he will return the cab.

We talk for a good 45 minutes I even asked him to take a longer route just to be able to talk more. We talked about NLP, SEFT, EFT, Hypnotherapy, Law of Attraction, Aura all the same interest as any trainer most probably have. Funny how I can meet someone like him in a cab going home. This is the second time when I have my doubt of being a trainer as if the road still not showing anything yet.

The first time I had a dream it was put in the shelf and for some reason I met a famous trainer which still climbing the mountain back then roughly 4 years ago , he happened to sit next to me , he said if you want to do anything better do it when you are still young. And so I put my dream alive again cause I know deep down I am destine to be a trainer. Today I was convinced again by this cab driver encounter and he said more less the same thing he said if you wanna do something better do it now and learn from your mistakes. Just like riding a bike one would need to fall before he learn how to balance. Well if I can squeeze one more before meeting this cab driver I met another trainer who for some bizarre coincidence has a daughter who's in the same kindergarten with my niece and so we can meet finally.

Is it coincidence all these things pop up in front of me or is it actually my interest that attract all of this and the world is working together to make this happen. I am still wondering and yet another fire burnin inside.
