Progress in Pain

By admin

“For disruptive behaviour at the judo school, Budhia Singh was told to run around a small dirt track at the back of the hall for punishment….

His teacher forgot about him and was amazed to find him still running several hours later.”

This was how the prodigeous talent of Budhia Singh was discovered.

Eighteen months ago, he became the youngest person to run a marathon at the tender age of three. Last year, he set a record a new record when he ran forty miles in seven hours.

This inspirational story was reported in the Sunday Times at the weekend.

Oftentimes we run away from pain instead fo facing it full on and revealing the jewel within. If you want to follow your dream, you must be willing to face, feel and learn from pain to get you to the next level.

If you want your organisation to survive and thrive in the current challenging environment, you must be able to embrace fear, the unknown; celebrate, not vilify failure, learn from the most annoying of sources, and so on. Enjoy the trip!
