Chapter 16 gave me a lot of final advice, which helps me to think about my life.
The most impressive word for me is, "To achieve the ultimate level of skill in any profession- particularly the profession of leadership- means accepting a level of incompetence. It also means constantly raising the bar and learning the next task while maintaining a sense of poise, grace, and good humor."
It is hard to accept a level of incompetence, but I noticed that this accepting makes us to thrive.
I'd like to find myself rightly, and practice a skill which is lacking for me with time.
One of my friend gave me wonderful advice when I worried about my action, "You should take your stand where you can use your abilities fully.
I always remember this advise when I have to decide some important decision.
Also the part of Practice the Art of Thriving was very useful advises for me.
My mother is also very good at maintain these things, engaging in satisfying work, achieving a good relationship with others, and leading very healthy life, and good balancing work and family.
Using Perkins' advice and my mom's life as a reference, I'd like to pay attention to these important things and lead a good life.
To achieve one goal is easy for us, and we can feel satisfaction about that. However, we can't step forward when we get satisfaction. The situation is very MOTTAINAI, I think!! I strongly felt that while reading your blog. Thank you*
返信削除Hi Shizuka,
返信削除Thank you for this post. Knowing what it is that you can use your abilities clearly may not be easy to see, and it likely will require a period of incompetence first.
I am glad you have your mother as such a great example. Mother's can be extremely important and powerful role models, and you seem to have a great one with your mother.
Lucky you!
Ken
