Days passed by very quickly. For the past weeks, my days were all occupied with my network marketing business, IT trainings, and my outdoor activities. Last weekend, with a group of friends, we went for a night trekking in Malaysia – Pelepah Hill Waterfall. It was a good trip with lots of unforgettable memories. As one of my friend’s wife said (Ella), “we sweat, we enjoy, we cry”, as a group just to achieve the objective of the trip which was to climb the summit at night. For the record, we started climbing on Saturday at 8.00 pm and reached the summit at 12 midnight sharp! (Sunday) & we did it in a large group of 27 climbers!

Planning for any trip especially an outdoor event such as the above is easy; however, executing it needs passion and commitment. Sometimes, we tend to listen or follow our own ideas that we have forgotten that having several ideas can give us more options in our planning and execution. We can have more than two people giving ideas, forming an informal committee to plan; but we must appoint a leader to spearhead the group. We must know how to leverage each other by assigning tasks or duties. This will make our job more easier so that we can focus on other important ones.

Sometimes we feel that we can do everything by only listening to our own view rather than other people. If we want to be successful, we have to fore-go our personal feelings and ego. We have to learn how to trust people and leverage their skills and specialities.

During the Second World War, many American soldiers dated Englishwomen in England. Quite often, both sexes accused each other of sexual aggression. What caused this? The answer lies in confused cues.

Anthropologists say that a courtship procedure consists of 30 steps beginning with first eye contact on through the consummation of the relationship. However, not every culture has these steps in the same place. In the US, kissing is about step 5. It is a friendly way to get things going on. In England however, kissing is about step 25 – it was considered highly serious affair. Now imagine what would happen when an American GI kisses an Englishwomen after a date. She will be shocked. She thinks, “This isn’t supposed to happen until step 25.” So she has to make up her mind, either call off the relationship; because it has become too serious, or get ready for consummation since it is only a few steps away. From the man’s point of view, things also appear confusing. She seems to behave like a women in hysteria or a nymphomaniac.

Have you been blindly following your own rules? Have you considered the other person’s view?
