Well, as promised I will quickly share a couple of points out of what I liked about the work of Robin Sharma. Yet again I'm running a bit late, so just a few lines that moved me so much.
Robin has beautifully defined "Listening" in his books. He emphasizes what listening well means. I always believed I was a decent listener in any conversation, but reading this topic made me realise that the truth is far from it. Robin very truely points out that for most of us listening means waiting till the speaker has finished. Worse, we keep formulating our answers during that period. Amazing, thats quite true, even though partly in my case. I will now consciously work on this.
Second thing that comes to my mind is about leadership. He says leadership is all about taking complete responsibilty of ones work at workplace. Its not about commanding a supervisor position. Everybody, in whatever position he or she is in, can act as a leader by assuming complete responsibilty of his duty.I love this idea, as I feel I try doing the same.
Third thing is about sleep. He says the more we sleep, the more sleepy we feel. Well, I'm not too sure of that, but what I like is that we can take a couple of hours at least from our sleep and use that in more creative work, as advised by Robin. No dispute here. And yes, as he quotes Benjamin Franklin," There will be enough time to sleep when you are dead." (Try this link to help you to be an early riser.)
We will take our session forward tomorrow.
Thought for the day,"BE BREATHTAKINGLY HUMBLE."
