commitment
i got a gift today.. =)
a book - The 21 Indispensable Qualities of a Leader by John C. Maxwell..
~~~
every tuesday i have a meeting with our manager together with his other 3 one-downs.. the meeting ended today with him reading a chapter from the book he gave us.. we were not allowed to browse through the pages until he's done reading the chapter.. hehe.. "nope! you cant open it yet! ive to read so you wont think it's just another book you can read later *insert a makulit na grin here*" hahaha!
he strongly recommends that we read at least a chapter every morning which will take about the same time our workstations takes to boot up.. =)
he read the chapter he's at, which is about commitment.. 'Commitment: It separates Doers from Dreamers'.. here's an excerpt from the book..
'What is commitment? To each person, it means something different:
To the boxer, it's getting off the mat one time more than you've been knocked down.
To the marathoner, it's running another ten miles when you're strength is gone.
To the soldier, it's going over the hill, not knowing what's on the other side.
To the missionary, it's saying goodbye to your own comfort to make life better for others.
To the leader, it's all that and more because everyone you lead is depending on you.'
so, what is commitment for you?
