This is very interesting, Nicole.

Only the action takers reap the reward.

Hi Nicole, thanks for sharing the story. I believe you also believe in God, don’t you? Many think that God is all about religion, but it’s more about relationship.

Hi Raymond, it’s especially about my knowledge in social media. The knowledge is useful with a recent development plan in my company. That helps me to share more ideas and my knowledge there. I was never thought of that, but unexpectedly, it’s useful for it!

Thanks for asking =)

There is the story of the barber who tells his customer that he does not believe in God and to prove that, he tells the customer to go out in the streets and see how many poor people there are. If God existed, he says, that poor people and suffering will not be there. The customer keeps quiet because the topic is controversial. After he finishes with his hair cut he goes out and returns to the barber and says that he does not believe in barbers. The barber laughs and says what nonsense is this? You came to me, I cut your hair. The customer says, I went out to the street as you told me to and found a lot of people with long hair and beards so how can there be a barber? The barber says, if they come to me, they too will get a hair cut and beard trim like you did. The customer says, if you go to God he too will be available, but if you loaf around why should he bother?

It’s really interesting the way you put it. “Creating has to be spontaneous to be effective”
I read from Scott H. Young before that there can be 2 flows on brainstorming, one is creating, the other one is streamlining. Don’t mix the two, and you really need to be spontaneous while creating, put the pessimism, cutting and streamlining on hold for the moment.

Dare to be creative!

Thanks Raymond and Nicole,
actually the story I mentioned is few months back. I’ve been evaluated and the result is satisfying. Along the way, many miracles do happen, especially how my interest in blogging found to be useful in my work. That is really helpful in the process.

When we really follow our heart and passion, God somehow opens the way. He really know what’s the best for us. Everything seems to work, into a bigger picture, we may not understand it yet. If we believe, it will end well!

Thanks,
Robert

Let me put it in another way. There is something called the optimism of the past. This is all the time thinking "If only that had happened, etc". This is counterproductive and completely based on knowledge. Creating cannot take place from any kind of past which is what knowledge is. Creating has to be spontaneous to be effective.
