Learning Organisation?
okay,
so here i am again, another routine day at air wing, ocs. Today the cadets had learning organisation lesson and i learnt quite alot from them...like the way the cadets can just come up with something from nothing and that there are afew individuals who have strong beliefs and values.
Looking at the way they went about the day made me realise how things are different as a cadet and an officer. I understand how i was viewed once as a cadet and how i ought to have done things. Leardership takes on a whole new concept for me. To get things done, one cannot take things into his own hands and work like a dog...as an officer, delegation of work is important. There are so many other things to worry about and handle. If i, for example, were to take everything that has been thrown to me and try to get things done the 'right' way, or the way i think will be most efficient or effective, i will only be digging a grave so deep, it'd be hard for me to not have myself buried by my own doings...
Getting a team together and delegating the workload is, somehow, the only way to go. Preparation also is of great importance. Today, as a last minute 'arrow' to conduct a core values lesson, i let the cadets view a show i myself have not seen, and unfortunately it was a low budget film which i thought, after watching it, had no value watsoever.
But, to my surprise, the cadets seem to have notice more of the film than i myself had. They came out with points and lessons about discipline and loyalty to country. Amazing...but as i said they can just come up with something when in fact it's nothing...as least for me...
I also realise, with the short SMSes with my ex during the lesson, that many things i have taken for granted. She is one individual i have learnt alot from...
Having a goal always makes life easier and more meaningful...without one life WILL no dount be a drag...so for now, i have short and long term goals...Short term - my fitness, the weekends, CNY, my bike, improve and understand MahJong... Long term - my wings, a car when i get back, savings for a rainy day, a closer and stable relationship with God and my family, a degree and a career i enjoy.
Now, back to my bunk to 'lepak' one corner and watch abit of TV.
