Different from my technical part that I have to do every day, One of the things I’m doing these days is that I’m conducting a series of workshops called “silver lining” that aims to let people discover the shining side of the darkest moment.
Basically, it seeks to expound that no matter however dark the night be, every cloud has a silver lining.
Each workshop covers a different topic related to hopes and possibilities and attempts to steer fellow attendies for changing their cynical perspectives.
This series of 23 lectures has come about 25 percent of its way and is being attended by over 250 people each time from various backgrounds ranging from college/university students to corporate human resource, administration staff, school students, housewives, management folks and so on.
The reason why I had to bring this info here is because of the immense pleasure I felt yesterday while delivering the lecture, especially because I’ve been a bit apprehensive before starting the lecture due to my health issues, incomplete preparations and the general, nourvous myself.
Before starting the lecture, I’ve had a choked throat and a terrible voice due to the cough and cold that I’m having yet again.
Further, i just haven’t been able to put together all the presentation material that I’ve planned, hence was somewhat unsure if I’d be able to put across what i was intending prior to the workshop.
The topic was: “no stone unturned”.
Often, in life many of us do not reach to the intended goal, simply because we just haven’t tried all that we could.
Its my belief out of my personal experiences that In your quest to succeed, you never know how close you are to succeeding and will never know which stone or opportunity will be the one that will create the breakthrough.
You may have turn over a lot of stones and sort through a lot opportunities to reach your objective. But with each one you are moving closer to your goals.
The stone or the opportunity that you decide to overlook . . . . could be the one that would make the difference.
Be a seeker of opportunities and be the one to turn over the stones on your success journey and the one that your seeking will be there for you.
Success takes persistence, time and effort . . . . Commit yourself to succeed and with each stone that you turn over you are getting one stone closer your goals.
Its simple, if you try everything, something would work!
Opposite to my apprehensions, the yesterday’s lecture went on great and its been in fact one of the most enjoyable workshops that I’ve ever conducted.
Without conferring any philosophical statement, I’m just simply happy that I’ve been able to turn my worries in a constructive direction, perhaps because of the same silver lining that I’ve been able to observe during the darks of health issues, incomplete preparations and all my personal obscurities.
thank you so much each of you folks of my wonderful silver lining team, its you guys that makes us worth something.
Following is what I’ve said for summarizing the topic by the way:
I'm looking for a reason, I'm watching the signs,
This head on collision is a race against time,
Is this an illusion? It seems so unreal,
This manifestation is drawing me near.
Something to grab a hold of,
Capture a glimpse from the mind's eye,
Releasing all that I contain,
And all I perceive by.
I Feel the pressure building,
Got to take this journey on my own,
I have to seize the moment,
Leave no stone unturned until I'm done.
I walk this Earth, Until I stagger and fallTo my knees,
I won't rest my bones If I'm awake or asleep,
There'll be no relief.
Just like a vapor, moments flash by,
Way beyond measure like the infinite sky,
Realization, a token of faith,
A constant reminder of my ultimate grave.
I Feel the pressure building,
Got to take this journey on my own,
I have to seize the moment,
Leave no stone unturned until I'm done....
