26th August 2008 - a significant day to Malaysians because a hot and popular by-election at Permatang Pauh will be held by today. It becomes the news headline for the last whole week because somebody claimed that a new Prime Minister will be on the way to enter the Parliment of Malaysia and forming a new federal government. Hence, it can be say as a great battle between the two largest political parties of Malaysia, which is Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR) and Barisan Nasional (BN). During this campaign period, all the politicians and supporter going all out and work restlessly to gain support from all the qualified voters. They do whatever they can do within the limited time frame towards their goal to win the by-election. From my sides, i discovered and learn about their endless struggling and fighting spirit until the last minute just to win the battle. They all having a clear vision, knowing their roles well and put in all their effort to make their dream come true. To all those quality and good politician, i really salute and respect their leadership and highest spirit in the willingness to lead the country toward better future.
Meanwhile, how about you and me who lead a decent life ? Do we have our own clear vision and action plans to win in our life? Are we progressing towards our life's goal? This is the question pop up in my mind after noticed about the political scene at my beloved country right now. At the same time, i came to read a short but meaningful paragraph in a book entitled, "The 8th Habit - From Effectiveness to Greatness" wrote by Stephen R. Covey. This short paragraph of words did remind me, motivate me to work harder and focus on my life's goal.
The meaningful words begins as..... your first job is to get your act together - to create FOCUS in your life. You simply have to decide what matters most to you. What are your highest values? What vision do you have for your life? What about your work at home as a father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, aunt, uncle, sister, brother, cousin, son or daughter? What kind of service would you like to give your community, your church, your neighborhood and others in need? How important is your health? How are you going to maintain and enhance your health? Some have said that health is wealth and that without it, no other wealth matters. What about your mind, your growth and development? How important is that to you? What about your work? What are your true talents? Where does your passion lie? Where are the greatest needs in your organization and in the marketplace? On what projects and initiatives does your conscience inspire you to take action? How will you truly make a difference in your work? What will your legacy be?
To my lovely readers, please spare some time to think about all these question brought out by the author and hopefully you can get 'something' from it. I did since i read the book entiled "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People also by the same author. Have a nice day !!!
