Let's savor the moment today *a[s] (and) learn from Musashi San.
* OK Sarah, me as Miyamoto Musashi.
First is the Nine Precepts:
32 years ago I joined a great company; Mesiniaga. It is the local agent for IBM. Mesiniaga means Business Machine. Therefore we subscribe to the 3 IBM values namely;
- Customer comes first
- Respect for individuals
- Excellence in everything we do
I was introduced to the values more than 3 decades ago. And yet until today, they are still ingrained in my mind. That is the power of values.
Through values we create beliefs and through beliefs we create visions. The is no action without vision and there is no vision without action.
Therefore in order to achieve Shared Vision, we need strong values. That's what IBM did. Before they sell their boxes and solutions, they sell their values first.
As mention by former GM of IBM Malaysia, KB Low, "Give[s] us anybody from any discipline, in 2 years we'll make him or her a True Blue IBMer."
True enough, KB Low was a Physics Graduate and not a computer buff. And yet, he led a computer company.
Back to Musashi's Nine Precepts. these are Sparta 4964 values. If you cannot memorize all, just remember these three:
- Do nothing which is of no use
- Pay attention even to trifles
- Perceive those things which cannot be seen.
These are my three top values in life that I memorize. The rest like the way is in training and be acquainted with every art, are already in my unconscious competence.
Notice, these values warrant for you to take action. As I mentioned many times, the key is in the MOVING. You got to take action on daily basis. You must win the days in order to win the weeks and then the months, then the years, and finally your life.
Here are my daily commitments. I read them every day as my oath at 6:00 am (while standing erect facing my Sacred Shrine, doing the Scout's Salute with left hand) when TraXX spins the National Anthem.
Sharudin Seven:
- Breathe Fresh Air
- Eat Moderately
- Exercise Regularly
- Drink Plenty of Water
- Win the Day
- Read A Lot
- Sleep Well
----------------------------------------------------------------
Another lesson from Musashi that I follow is in a fight, always use the OPEN Stance. It is the most powerful but the most vulnerable. Therefore you must position yourself on high ground - animis opibusque parati (prepared in mind and resources).
Hence be prepared for the worst. Shinu Kikai O Motomo or if you prefer subscribe to Murphy's Law.
Remember this:
A seasoned swordsman never wield his swords aimlessly - Sharudin Jamal
In this case, your "swords" are your brain, your Daisho Set, your Big and Small, your Cerebrum and your Cerebellum.
In my case, my Darkness and my Ghost, my Yin (small), and my Yang (big).
Alright, let's send the Lesson Learned to Big Brain Baby and chill with Miyamoto Musashi.
#traxxfm OK baby, the Lesson Learned to date: 2021blogvol2.blogspot.com/2021/04/23421-
Here is your lullaby for tonight: youtube.com/watch?v=nwHaeA I'll catch up with you next week. Goodnight... Avoir!
#traxxfm I am celebrating my retirement as Information Warfare Personnel. So KG, I'm with TraXX all the way to 4 am. No alarm and no exercise tomorrow.
Google is blocking my 2019 folder. Dragon Queen you continue with War of the Roses 2017
Upon suggestion by Al Araf 7:7, they decided for me to bring Flik on board as my retirement gift.
This is to commemorate the 1998 (Malaysia's release 3/12/99) Disney's A Bug's Life movie and the beginning of the 1999 - 2014 Cyborg War. Now, I don't know how Disney did it but that story is what it was then. They must have savants working for them LMAO. Oh, I forgot, we have Light and Time Travelers.
That makes Al Araf 7:7 39 members strong. However, as for the actual teams, it is still 36. Jolly Green Giant, Miyamoto Musashi, and Flik are not involved in the administration of Sparta 4964. They are the "giants" and serve as the Highest Troika and the Thought Leaders. Flik will be positioned at the pedestal of the Sacred Shrine where Jolly Green Giant used to be.
Flik is officially Din Kenit 227 .
#traxxfm Folks, I added some additional notes on the posting: 2021blogvol2.blogspot.com/2021/04/23421-
Have a good weekend. You too
