Can a Bird Drives a Car?

This morning a thought came to my mind. I heard about this phrase about a decade ago. My coach asked me in my class at that time. "Can a bird drives a car?" Being really optimistic after our breakthrough of some of our beliefs, most of us including myself  said "YES!". She asked again, "Can a bird drives a car? This bird is very committed, optimistic, willing to do everything in it's power, dedicated etc ... so can a bird drives a car?" At this point, some of us sat back and had that doubt coming, logic sets in, torn in between reality and possibility.

Of course in our reality, a bird cannot drives a car. A car can only be driven by human. So no matter how much effort that is being put into it, a bird cannot drives a car. It's too small, the feet is too short, hands are too little. The car is built NOT for the bird to drive. Period. I remember applying this principle for competencies, selections, recruitment, appraisal and year end assessment.

That is the logic part, on the other hand, if we just entertain the non-logical part, the creative side of us... YES! A bird definitely can drives a car. There is 1001 ways on how it can be done. A long list of creative and humorous answers, some very inspiring too.

No right or wrong answer. Whatever the answer that you are having, it is just a thought ... just entertain the thought and let it flows ... it comes and it goes ... Have a Great Day ...


Busyness in Life

A word came to me this morning when I woke up. Busy... then I heard buzzing sound in my head... like a bee...  We are always busy, doing something, thinking about something. Some of us will make ourselves doing just about anything that we could put our hands of and our thoughts of.... Some use busy to avoid from facing up things in our lives. Some just couldn't stand, a still moment with self so they use it to keep them moving. Some use it because it is safe, it is comfort even though it is not what we want.
Though some are busy living life. Charting out what would be fulfilling in life,  finding passion. Living life with passion, making a difference to others, connecting with people that they care. Busy waking themselves up when automatic pattern and behaviour sets in. Busy connecting and learning to love unconditionally, working with themselves from within, learning, unlearning and relearning things in life.
The question is ...
Which one of these that we are so busy about?
Beware the barrenness of the busy life - Socrates
Perhaps what it takes is just to stop and have a look into what we are busy about. Maybe we have been using this busyness for a long time. Perhaps it's time to pursue the things that we always wanted to. Perhaps life is more than just getting ourselves busy... Look around and see what have we been missing out of in life... Those moments that we missed, we will never get it back again. Sometimes because of so many things that is happening in our life, we forget to see what and who is in front of us.
The busyness of one's life can only be stopped and managed by the person who's creating it.
