Share your knowledge

Are there any commonalities with people who have had great influence in your life?

I have learned from people who were easy going, tough, and even abrasive;  but what is it about these people?  Is there one common thing that they possess, that I am not sure, but I can say that all of them have shared their knowledge with me.  And, to be sure, it was shared quite freely.

The people I have come to respect have all made time to share what they know and for no benefit to themselves, other than to see that I am better because of knowing them.

I think that is quite a legacy.

Share what you know to the the benefit of others, you never know how it may help.


I listen to what this guy says, he seems to have a lot of things figured out.

What historical person would you like to meet?

Lao Tzu would be one of the people in history I would like to have a conversation with.  Many of the things that he wrote are still around today and have great significance and meaning that is as relevant today as it was in his time.  It is believed he lived over 2,500 years ago.

It is humbling to know that thoughts that are very clear and very universal to me were also important so long ago.  We are surrounded by issues and problems in the modern world.  The problems may seem new but the solutions may have been with humanity for a long time.

This saying by Lao Tzu is something that all of can take and learn from.  As leaders we need to be invisible, the out come is what is important, not us.

I am a slow learner

I am feeling better about my weapon form and my hand form.  My biggest hurdles are I have are to stay calm, breath and to lengthen out my stances.

I blogged this almost two years ago.  I find it interesting that I am still working on the same things 

Proud Albertan

I was born in Alberta and have always felt it is a special place.  From a very early age , I saw my family and many in our community come together and help when help was needed.  I remember many times in my youth seeing my parents take in people from around the world when they had no place to stay.  I saw my community come together and help when people were in need of shelter or food.

These past two days have reaffirmed my belief in the people of this great province.  I have talked to many who have opened up their homes, sent relief articles, went to help and donated cash to help out a very horrible situation.

Good on you Alberta.
