Please pardon me that in one day I wrote down so much stuffs.

Went for the opening of BB SGB ( Boys' Brigade Sharity Gift Box ) early in the morning today. Was invited there to be an usher to help in the event itself. The Guest of Honour was Prime Minister Lee Hsien Long. Had my time with him, was introduced to him as President's Men of year 2006. He asked me what am I doing and was also giving good comments on the course that I'm taking. Had my time with the Legendary Mr SP Chua himself. He is 93 years old this year and still serving in the Boys' Brigade. He shared with me about his life as a boy. And he is greatful to God and Boys' Brigade as he is still healthy and standing. He even stood up without the help of his maid to prove to me. WOW!

Main point that I want to blog here is that I learnt alot. The Brigade President, Mr Tan Kok Heng now working in the Human Resource Department of MOE was also an Colonel in the Singapore Arm forces. He taught a few of us President's men on how how the whole event was set up and how we managed to invite Prime Minister Lee down for the event. It is definitely Mind blowing, as you'll never thought of it. Ha haXxx... These are Great Good Leaders!!! Good Leaders are not those who just take lead in front adn care about well fare. Good Leaders are people who have those above mentioned qualities + Grooming people to be better future leaders than they(the current leader) are.

Also had my time with Mr Ljunberg. Please pardon me if I got your name wrongly. He's company always do off shore camping at Pulau Hantu Or Sisters Island. Those idlands which are deserted. And they do it there for their company's life skill camps for 5 days!!! And no can food. What they bring there is Vegetables and raw meat. And it is done very successfully. Next year 17th Company is merging with them to learn from them how it is done. I also got myself involved in as I want to learn from them.

In this corrupted and self-centered world. People who made success out of something others don't do or dare to try. Will normally keep such knowledge and expereice to themselves. But he was so nice. His company invited me with open arms and they are willing to share this knowledge and experience with me. And I was also commmenting that maybe my company should merge and join them for those kind of camps the upcoming year also. And he was more than glad. Even down there, when having my conversation with him, he already started to share about how it all started and how the whole event became what it is today. It's those informations which are already helping me to get a stepping stone to make a fun adveture coming. Ha haXxx...

On this day, I asked Mr Ljunberg and Mr Tan Kok Heng. What drives them to work and get all these things on what they are doing into a great success. I asked them if they did it cause they want to see a change? Is it because they want to be better? Is it because it's out of they're heart and passion or something else? Both of them, asked at a different time when both of them didn't even converse with each other on that day. Gave me the same reply. It was their passion and they followed they're heart to do it. That's what drives them.

From what I observe. One fo the Great Man I know in my life is Mr Teh Siew Yee. He also puts passion and heart in the brigade company when he was an Officer in Command. And those times 61st start to grow. They have to most leaders groomed up during those times. The hoghest number of return rate of boys to serve in the company after they leave their secondary school days are those that are groomed by him during those days.

What is having the spirit of excellence? To me. It ,s not getting things done well, and flawless. Spirit of excellence is to pour all your passion and heart and be devoted, commited into what you are doing. that's the main and primary objective. And for sure!!! For Sure!!! Success, getting things well done and flawless will come along with it.

Amen and Amen... So Be It, So be it... :)
