starting with the end in mind

I feel accomplished today, notwithstanding my training that fell short because I rested yesterday and will be meeting my mum, Bimo and Johnny later this evening. Never mind about falling short in training. I don’t get to spend time with family and friends all the time. there’s always another day for training.

After gathering the information from the library last weekend, I’ve finally had the time and energy to redraft my research survey. The first draft was crap in my view. Ambiguous, undefined and not purposeful. I didn’t know what I was trying to find out. I didn’t know if I’ve gotten the topic right in the first place too.

Out of desperation, I scoured the net and emailed a lady professor from a university just to gather some help. I’m thankful that she graciously replied to my queries, despite I wasn’t a student from her university. She gave me very valuable pointers that made me venture into the library for more information. This time I wasn’t just going to the general reading section; I stepped into the reference section and found just what I needed.

Today I managed to arrange the information into a constructive survey. Something deliberate and purposeful. A piece of work I am proud and satisfied with. I sent it to dearie, christin and to my mentor for review.

Starting with the end in mind. That’s something I learnt today. By knowing where is the end point you want to reach, gearing towards it becomes a whole lot simpler.
