Adversity Quotient AQ

Had a performance review with boss yesterday, and one question he asked.
"Where do you think you are now compare to last year?"

mmm, a good reflection to make.

I was not quite in a happy mood lately. Weird.. and i received the pdf article from KE about AQ.
And today, i take a look at it. mmmm..do some surfing on the internet.. and i found this..

http://susan-passionateaboutlife.blogspot.com/2007/10/adversity-quotient-aq.html
the things she mentioned inside were so right.. especially about the summits, quitter/camper/climber.. I echoed with her when she mentioned about the feeling she got after successfuly conquered a mountain. especially tough one...

I need to remind myself to be like a climber...

errr..

find it hard to adjust.........
find it hard to accept..............
find it hard to not compare...
find it hard to decide.........

I think i quite like Ryan Lochte too.. I like his smile..

and from certain angle, he looks a bit like my friend.(ha, just a bit from side way)

Swimming World is exciting

SILENT

And there you go, yesterday in the staff's meeting, my big boss annouce my leaving to the managers and technical staffs.

He asked" so what are you going to do?"
i said.."dunno".....

I am merely speechless. I think, when i have decided to end a relationship, there's nothing much that i want to say anymore. I can choose to bad mouth, i can choose to rationalize, i can choose to do a lot of things..... but, strengthless, i just choose to be silent, and counting the days.

I cried on the way of driving home..while i am reminded of the song...
"when the oceans rise and thunder roars, i will soar with you above the storms... "
I cried. I was reminded of my last breakup... where i cried many days amazed at, no matter how i have wronged God, He still loves me and guided me..through out all.
And i thought......... "Yupe, i guess human only improve by love... changed by love... "

my immediate boss choose to annouce it coming monday. He withdrew the annoucement which suppose to happen last week (which i am not very agreeable on his reason).. ( my heart: $#%#$%#$$@#$@$@##%$#%)... I am giving up.

Silent-- A moment when we choose to give up.
Silent-- A choice to take when all you got to say is just something hurtful
Silent-- When saying much won't help anymore..
Silent-- A moment for self reflection.

And, i am choosing to be SILENT.

face of achievement after you try your very best

Phelps screaming for his victory after winning by only 0.01s in 100m Butterfly!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Phelps

Just do a google search and the news is everywhere.. :D

it started with amazement over his achievement..
and then.. as usual...
comparison........
comparing him with spitz... by percentage..by no of medals..reason of water that makes him swim faster... swim suit technology..etc etc..........

i just got fed up with all these.. comparison.........

Can't we just be happy with someone else achievement and congratulates them?
....................... speechless.............................

I hate those who like to comment and don't really achieve anything.... :$
I hate those who put down others' achievements, where they don't even dare to try/ not even qualified to do so......

haha.. HATE................................ya.. HATE!

Bob Bowman-Phelps's coach

http://voices.washingtonpost.com/olympics/2008/08/phelpss_press_conference.html?hpid=topnews
mm, well, i am still in this phelps's obsession...

I truly believe for every great athlete, there will be a GREAT coach behind them.
And i guess i am right.

Q. How about Bob Bowman, your coach. Could you have done this without him?:
MP: "No. I've said this all along. I don't think I would be where I am today with any other coach. From the intelligence - he's so intelligent in the sport, and he cares so much about every one of his athletes. He's very thorough. It's in every aspect. If I'm feeling the slightest bit injured or a pain or something, he says check it out. He's always on top of things. I'm fortunate enough to have a coach like him who is always there by my side through anything. We've been through a lot the last four years. He's still there and we're going to work together for the next four."

choose the Words wisely

mmm, this morning i also had a conviction suddenly... that i need to learn to filter the words i speak...

some words are better left unsaid...
honesty sometimes create a wound that is so deep and it leaves scars...

mmm...... hope i be able to control my tongue..
learn to see the joy i get from keeping silent.

Must pray for this.. amen amen,

Bravo

This was such a heart-stopping relay final that i have ever watched!

Bravo, American Team!

Phelps 4th and 5th..

So, he got his 4th and 5th gold with world records.. wow...........
3 more to go.....and i will be praying for him. :)
I just felt we need excellent sport achievement to be set as a legendary then a lot of people will upgrade into that level..... mm..

and i gotta read this......... wow, this is from the invisible background thing.. mm.. the life of phelps.

http://sports.espn.go.com/espnmag/story?id=3508530

Some highlights to remind myself to learn from him:
1.) -His ability to focus and refusal to acknowledge exhaustion are legendary. "He starts doing everything really precise," says teammate Erik Vendt, "and that just builds up until the event."

-Even Phelps battled mood swings in Athens, once bickering with Bowman about how quickly he needed to board the shuttle to the pool. Later, after he won gold, Phelps was so overwhelmed that Bowman had to drag him to the warmdown pool. No matter how experienced Phelps may be, he still can be overwhelmed by the mental stimulation of the Olympics.
(i personally felt he has a very good coach.)
2.) In Athens, Bowman didn't sleep the night before the 100 butterfly, worried the frenzy had caught up with his star. It seems the media onslaught, the wait for the shuttle and a random drug test forced him off his schedule. But Phelps won anyway, even after trailing with 25 meters left. Others become distracted when their routines are thrown off. Concentration blown, they race opponents or fear or expectations. Phelps' greatest gift is his ability to compartmentalize, to focus on what he's doing and race only himself.
(this is something that i wish i could have done better each time. I find it hard to separate emotion to things i should focus. When i break up, i screw up in my work too... when i am unhappy, my work sucks, my relationship sucks... everythiing gone down to drain..errr....... Focus, Compartmentalize. mmm.. and race only myself)

3.) He loves doubt. Craves it. Phelps scours newspapers for challenges he can cut out and paste on his wall. Before Athens, he hung a poster of Ian Crocker above his bed so he could stare into his rival's eyes every night. When retired Aussie legend Ian Thorpe said he didn't think anyone could win eight races at a single Olympics, Phelps memorized the quote to motivate him for Beijing. His target times for these Games are scribbled on a piece of paper that he won't show even his mom. "I want to do something that's never been done," he says. "That's what's on that paper."
(mm, i am giving this a thought, write down the things you want to achieve in a paper and just keep it to yourself.I agree at times that if we shared, we will tend to get support.. however, there are times too that it is better to just to keep to ourselves.. mmm, a lot of cold blanket out there... READy to kill your dreams..... put on the armor! )

4.)Phelps will make errors. During trials, he took a double breath in one race, had a substandard turn in a second and struggled through the first lap in a third. But he won anyway. That's the thing about Phelps: He always finds a way to touch first. In the past four years, he's won every major race except the 200 free in Athens, where he finished third to Ian Thorpe. In 2007, he broke Thorpe's world record. Bowman likes to quote a saying: "When the time to perform has come, time to prepare has passed." And nobody prepares like Phelps.

:) Must learn the good things from him. :)
Pray he will win all the 8 golds. :D Legendary Swimmer!
