See Through the Wood

I have joined the HASE training program for two consecutive days last week. Our trainer closes the course with a very special ceremony. We need to write our aspiration and wishes on a 1 inch wood board. We are still wondering why we need to write down on such a thick wood. Our trainer soon announces the reason – we need to use our hand to break the wood board into two pieces. Remember it is one inch height. It is an impossible task to me. While our trainer tells us some tips to do it, I am still wondering whether it is possible? Will it hurt? Should I just look at what others do first before I step out?

I keep my mind focused. Don’t panic! There is only one sentence in my mind:” I can do it!” With less than a second, my right hand swing and chop down on the wood, and it broke into two pieces sharply and beautifully.

I have learnt a lot from this exercise. It is definitely the most impressive and rewarding exercise in my life.

• Clear direction and objective is the key to success!
• With clear direction, we need clear execution business strategy correctly.
  
• Support and encouragement from my team mates is very important!
• We need to “See though the wood”. The objective is not the wood itself. We’re going to just to touch the wood, we’re actually cut through the wood.
• Nothing is possible. There is no impossible thinking. Everything is possible.
