suround yourself with creative thinkers

I'm cooking dinner for my beautiful wife. Now i don't want to cook an average dinner. so what do i do? I go online get a recipe and watch an episode of Jamie does. Jamie Oliver is one of my favourite chef's because he is passionate about what he believes in and he is creative in his cooking. whether it is cooking a meal, writing a sermon, preparing a report for your boss at work or serving in church, surround yourself with creative thinkers and your level of excellence will increase

How to stand out when no-one's watching

I have had 2 very contrasting weeks.

last week our boss was away and although I tried to persevere, the rest of my team didn't show a great attitude, I found myself getting sucked into their sucky attitudes and tempted to provide the same level of service.

This week after our boss came back and set the record straight, their attitudes and behaviours came to light. - enough said.

This got me thinking if you don't keep a check on your attitude, your performance is going to suffer.
even in the hard times when it seems like no-one is watching you and no-one cares, keep persevering because one day everything will come out into the light, and your behaviour and attitudes will be assessed, maybe by your peers, maybe by your boss or your leader, definitely  by God.

just like Nemo, keep on swimming, even if it feels like you are going against the tide and one day you will reach your goal.
