Reflections for the week!

SO we ran into problems that seemed almost the stuff of all textbooks - Some wild, unexpected emergency that threw us all off for abit. (but then we are smart strong people! haha nevermind) But then we didn't panic - well, okay, we did but only for a leeetle while - and soon enough we were back on track brainstorming for new ideas.

I liked how that worked. I liked that we could pick ourselves up as easily as we did and move on. And that is, in essence, basically what we should do not just in projects but anything in life, i guess. But particularly in projects. And so, another takeaway from our SL journey. And how do we know that's just the thing to do in terms of crisis? (and by jove, having weeks worth of planning reduced to nothing by clinics certainly counts as one.) Because we tried that - we didn't sit about and grumble - and we came up with a new idea!

Which in fact, is in my opinion, tonnes better.
1) the success rate is much higher, definitely
2) and if it does succeed, then it's effectiveness in healing our sweet earth's even better! I mean i'm sure we have more bread-eaters than sick people in singapore, right?
3) And and we might even help our targetted company!

And the third'd definitely be a huge bonus for all of us, and hopefully for them. Because after all, we should only be benefitting SEC and ourselves. (: And yeah, of course, the earth. Or at least, our small part of it.

And so,
Lesson #1 of the Week: Don't let trouble get you down.
Ho ho ho! I'm doing this donald trump style! Haha for those of you who don't know, The Apprentice has these little snippets of information and tips for the aspiring business people in this format.

But that wasn't all - which is why i found this week a particularly fruitful one in an unconventionally unexepected way, of course. Fruitful in that we've benefitted alot this time round having learnt so much more and possibly, fruitful in that we're coming up with something that'll help SEC even more.

This week also honed in the message of learning from mistakes. I think we best exemplified this. This time round, we looked in more thoroughly at the past mistakes. And did what maybe we should have done long ago - we called the SEC for tips and pointers on contacting companies.

And then, maybe a smaller thing we all could learn from this, is that one neeedn't necessarily be thought something, or pick up new information in order to have learnt and gained something. Sometimes, we know what we should do but never do we practice it. And this week, i found that when one practices what is taught- i'm sure we all knew we had to review out past errors - the lesson stays a hell lot longer. And its giving life to the textbook examples and response protocols.

So let's hope these lessons stay with us forever. And cheers to our marvellous group (:

And now...for the tedious of counting.

P.S. I really wouldn't mind going straight to the counter and asking for permission - but can we?(: Oh my lord, i am so not made for spywork. O.o
