Authority.

can authority really influence people?

must you be loud or fierce to use authority so that people will listen to you?

This is my point of view.

i don't think authority can influence people and i don't think that a person must be loud or fierce to use it.

i'm not talking about you giving your friends the authority to speak into your life. my view is coming from boss and his workers

if you are a boss no doubt that people must listen to you, you call the shots... but must u be loud or fierce?... if a person knows his or her authority over somebody, he or she no need to be fierce or loud, because they know they will be fired. some bosses are insecure over their position, they get tied up easily and would make sure their people knows who is in control.

If bosses are good naturally their people would obey them, do to their best and listen to him or her, and there is no reason for bosses to raise their voices. As long as both sides know who is in control.

I have read John c.Maxwell book and he is an influential leader no doubt about it, but he has no authority over me. so how can authority influence people?.. it is only those who walk the talk have the power to influence.

But if u want to put it into another way.. i gave john c.Maxwell $35 and the authority to teach me through his book.

What do you think?

Authority is given to those who is under authority.

christmas...

nothing special happened... the rain came on the eve and on christmas it was just another day.
next year we got to make it more happening, we got to throw in everything we got, i think we can actually do more but not many people are contributing... nothing much to say here.

i'm done for this year, i gonna wash my hands off for the end and expect the new year.




problems are always around, we can't run from it.. it is how we handle them

i remembered how God called me Isaiah. there was this old song called Isaiah 43 and i love it alot, in this chapter it talks about Israel's only saviour.. go and read..
well God gave me the assurance of that chapter and u can see his love not just for me but everyone!.. he is willing to give up anything just for us.
and one night i heard him calling me Isaiah.. Isaiah... Isaiah... man how Good god is.. he called me by name!!! and that is how i got my baptism name..

God is just so awesome!

Isaiah/Joel
Major and minor prophet.

Lord forgive of my sins that i have committed.

the end is near.. i'm just looking forward to next year!!! i don't know why i'm so excited but i'm just excited... i can't remember when was the last time i was excited for the coming year, but i know i am right now.. but one of the worst thing is that i haven't receive my pay yet!!! for last month. i sure hope my boss will combine it together and makes it look big..haha... MY WALLET IS GETTING THIN!!!!

seriously these days i don't know what to blog or anything interesting to blog... i think for the past few things that i blog was rubbish.. i got no idea... well... then again i'll wait for something interesting.

so........

what to expect for next year?

get shouted and scream at? or get better and prove it to people.

time pass fast.. in 20 more days it is a new year, one year older with a big 21, but life goes on. and soon, another year will pass again, and again before i know it and accept the fact that I'm old and one leg steps into the coffin, nearer to my maker, heaven or hell to suffer or enjoy for eternal, that is scary.

i have thought about it, my brother has thought about it.

Hopefully in 3 to 5 years time, we will open a restaurant and bar. we will be gathering info, we will be visting many bars to get ideas.

i think this idea is a good idea to generate money, with that money in, i can go overseas and learn more, go overseas and plant church without worring about cash flow, going overseas and open new restaurants, expand and expand.

i have concluded that i must be my own boss, i don't like to work for people. and that will happen.


For the past few weeks i haven't been working in the kitchen, so all my skills were rusty, but it is now the second week and my chef said that i have improved since last week, in my skills and speed. i really thank God for this, all that has happen is a good training for me.

it was madness!!!

5 hours of laughter non stop!

oh man, yesterday was DI mcg we had it at sentosa, i really enjoyed myself.. and it was a day of blessing. In the morning it was sunny but half through the dark clouds appeared and threatened our fun, but before that i saw it at a distant before entering sentosa, but i prayed as well as other people prayed i believe and the clouds did not even rain on us, it was just a slight drizzle. Praise God for that. but that is not really the main fun part, the part was after mcg and after dinner together with xz, joleen, jia shen, me and some others were at vivo roof garden talking and talking and laughing till our jaws were in pain! it was from around 7 all the way till 12am!.. many funny things as well as getting to know each other more. and even as i was working today i burst into laughter and my friends thought i was insane, i think i was nuts today, laugh until i cut myself again at the same spot now there are 2 cuts there one was on sat. and not only that when i was on my way home i laugh again!.. i think i'm really mad! and as well as this morning!.. i was almost laughing the whole day!!! i'm MAD!!! hahahahahaha
