Food for your soul

2) As you are leaving your mark about your work, people will remember your work and yourself. I recalled the days i spent my days in MHI as committee member.

I started in helping out in sign language department. Soon it sparked my passion in training people.It taught me alot in handling different people and built my confidence to face people.

As i read one brief chapter from the leadership book written by John Maxwell about the Power of Influence, John wrote about Princess Diana who died in car accident.

Many people remember her as the humaritian Amabassdor who did alot of charity work. She made use of her title as Princess Diana to raise awareness about humantrian works despite her troubled marriage.

It is her work that people remember her and cried for her when she died from car accident. It is one of the leadership area that she has strong influence over people.

During my days in MHI, i remember that i get to work with hearing people on projects. The viewpoints between HI individual and hearing individual are different that have alot of disagreement. But it did have everlasting good or bad experience for individual to work together.

Two different worlds coming together is not easy task because of its communication and deaf's command in English language. It takes two hands to clap.

Courage to over come the barrier of communication and to communicate the ideas across to the other party is the achievement for people to make the project a success.

Not many people are open to the new ideas. They can be very cautious over many things for various reasons and hence slow down the work.

Lesson to draw from here: If you find that things are not in favour, try to take a step back and think where it go wrong.

Pace is also important. If you run too fast, you will have your friends lagging behind. So you will stop to pace beside your friend towards the finishing line.
