Do you keep your boomerang?
On the news: Boomerang do come back! A boomerang has been returned after 25 years ago being stolen. It comes with the following note…
“I removed this back in 1983 when I was younger and dumber,” said the note, according to Mount Isa Mayor Ron McCullough. “It was the wrong thing to do, I’m sorry, and I’m going to send it back,” said the note.
It’s a wonder to see how someone can keep the guilt for 25 years, how can he live with that boomerang, the guilt in his life.
Jan from Queen of KAOS also commented in my article Welcoming Aging with Smile that her friend is apologizing for something even after 20 plus years not meeting up, and how it does not matter any longer for her.
All of us have mistakes in the past, many may still feel the guilt from the mistakes, but what I would like to say is letting go of your guilt! Do ask for forgiveness if you still can contact the person, but if not, don’t live with guilt! Learn to forgive yourself, ask God to forgive you and let go of your guilt!
Let go of your boomerang NOW!

When should you quit? And when should you stick?
This is the second book from Seth Godin that I read after The Meatball Sundae. This time it shared about whether we should quit or not. It’s great if we can become whoever we want, but to be the best at something, we need to quit something.

Big question, little book, answer within. That’s the subtitle of the book. It’s really a little book, not very thick, not even 100 pages. It’s a simple book but I enjoy reading it. The message is straight forward, clear and encouraging. That is to just become who you are.

The Meatball Sundae: something messy, disgusting and ineffective. It is the result of combining two perfectly good things that does not go together. Meatball represents the products and services that used to work successfully in the traditional media, such as TV and other mass market techniques. Sundae represents the social media, Web 2.0 services, which Seth puts as the new marketing. That involves websites, blog, YouTube, MySpace, many other popular and upcoming social media.

Do you need others to achieve your vision?
If your answer is NO, that means your vision is not big enough. If your answer is YES, that means you will need to have relationships with other people. Not only a common relationship, but a winning relationship. That is about how you can win with people.

Jack Welch, once the CEO of GE, sharing insights on winning in career and life. Many insights that he shared touched a lot on being a leader, top executive or manager. One of the core values that he shared often is candor and authenticity, he value those attributes very much in how he has managed GE into as successful as it is right now.

Great reminder on forgiveness. What a load we put on our shoulders when we live with guilt. I know. I’m a living example. What I’ve found in my journey is that forgiveness frees up space that can be used to serve others better.

Hi Scott,
It’s so true, guilt is unnecessary burden, living with guilt we will very much intimidated, we’re all imperfect people, but that’s how we can help one another, imperfect people helping another imperfect people! As you say, freeing up space to serve others better.
Thanks for visiting,
Robert
