Training proteges can be daunting

Be better than before, than yesterday...

There are two proteges who have worked with me for the past two decades.  I have negotiated for them two major projects that amount to  10 numbers.  Probably  much much more than what I have worked for in the last 40 years.

However this post noticed certain weaknesses thast need correction:

     1  Need follow up;   need self direction and initiative

     2.  Always looking up to the mentor or me.   Be the authority or the mentor

     3   Entertaining self doubts or discouragement

     4.  Being fixated by small things /problems that drain their energy

     5.   Limited options and lack of creativity and innovation

     6.  Lack of clarity of lifes purpose

     7.  Need to be audacious and brave

I wonder how these can be developed.  otherwise they cant move forward.  They must develop these to move forward

How much have I improved in 2013 ( Personal Mastery)

It is about getting better...

January 1, 2014

New year is now 18 hours old.  How fast time flies.  366 days ago we had the same event.  I will soon be 63.

What did I improve last year:

1.  Health and fitness:

     1. I biked many long rides last year.  In January we biked to Baguio from Manila.  This was my 3rd ascent to Baguio, 2x from Manila.  I crashed during my first ride, not in Baguio but all ready in Manila - at Shangrila.  My bike's narrow tires got caught up in grating in the vicinity of Starbucks, I lost consciousness when I feel, and I had an operation to repair my broken nose bridge.  I biked with Recyclists to Tagaytay City (about l60 km) to Ternate  (196 km) and Lemery, Batangas.  These were long and hard rides.  That meant I had endurance.

     2.  I could ride with the peloton riding at 35 km plus.  I developed speed.   I could also ride about 50 km descending.

    3.  Strength.  Now I could ride on heavier gears even climbing hills.  It is easier for me now to use 50 x 15 gears going up at 20+  kph.  Formerly, I needed 34 or 39 x 25 gears to ride up
