Start with Yourself

Start with Yourself

The Bible says 'Don't throw pearls before swine.' Cos they don't know how to appreciate it. Sometimes you dispense wisdom but they cannot digest it. Wisdom cannot be taught. It has to be experienced.

Sometimes it is fruitless to give pearls of truth cos their mind are not ready to receive it.

Now I have learnt to keep my mouth shut...especially to critics and skeptics.
Now I have learnt not to tell about future plans too readily. Get it done quietly and then announce it.


John C Maxwel said something so simple yet so profound.
How do you become a leader if you have no people to lead? He say, starts with yourself. When you can lead yourself, then you can lead others. Start with yourself. When you have been there, you can tell others to follow you. If you master yourself, you become a tour guide rather than a tour agent. A tour agent says, "Go there". A tour guide says, "Follow me"

He say to me that "you may have trouble finding another leader to mentor you but you can't use that excuse...so don't sit around waiting for someone else to help you - start learning and growing yourself!"

He said, "You can't teach what you haven't learned."
