Set a Goal and Reach It – Singapore Marathon 2009

For a while now I have been following on Twitter and Facebook a gentleman in Singapore named Ng Chee Wee or on Twitter @betshopboy. He has a goal of running a marathon and set the Singapore Marathon 2009 as his place to run that marathon. Well, it’s coming in 5 days in my timezone, 4 in his and he is getting hyped up for this life changing step, or run.

It’s important that we work hard, set goals and milestones for those goals so that they become easier to achieve. No matter what you want in life, you should set goals, milestones and work toward fulfilling them. Write them down, paste them up on a wall that you see every morning when you wake up and when you go to bed. Talk is cheap, success is measured in what you do, not what you say you can do. A pad, and pen are not bad things for writing things down as you get ideas. A spreadsheet, a Word document, or some other electronic method is fine too. As Nike says, Just do it!

Good luck and congratulations my friend on completing you goal. I admire your hard work in the heat, rain, cold, morning and night to be able to run a marathon. To take the time as a father to do something that you wanted to while still being a father and husband is something that I want to accomplish.

What Really Matters, Celebrity or Real World?

I am tired of celebrities taking the limelight from real life concerns. Yesterday Tiger Woods had an accident, in the process he received minor injuries. All day and into this morning all the major networks have called in their lawyers, analysts or in one case Mark Furman from the OJ trial to talk about it. WHY? It was an accident, he is a celebrity but he didn’t kill anyone, he is okay. Get over it, get on with the news that matters in the real world. I have barely seen any coverage of the family that was killed in Florida by a family member nor have I seen any coverage of the world events. We have a possible terrorist act in Russia, but it is getting less coverage than Tiger.

Maybe this is why our school systems are having a hard time meeting No Child Left behind. The world or the media doesn’t care about what is really important.
