If you simply can’t understand why someone is grieving so much, for so long, then consider yourself fortunate that you do not understand.

My Hero!
10 Things My Dad Never Told Me But Didn’t Have To…
- He always ensured that there is enough money for me
- I am far more important that his work
- He wants to be superman in my eyes
- He tried his hardest to fulfil every promise he made to me
- He is tired and fatigued from trying, but still is relentless
- It broke his heart when he couldn’t afford that toy i wanted
- He wants me to work hard and chase my dreams
- He wants me to be better than him in every way
- He would do it all over again if he had to
- He loves me no matter what
If years after you are grown, you think back on your dad and your childhood, and you smile, you were raised by a Great Man!I am still healing until now, still part of me cannot accept that you are no longer there. Still very emotional every time i think of you and what you mean to me.
Love Jambu.
What is Personal Effectiveness
“You will be the same person in five years as you are today, except for the people you meet and the books you read.” — Charlie “Tremendous” Jones
In your journey of personal development and self-improvement, a solid foundation in personal effectiveness is key.
You need to start with the right knowledge to build your inner core from the inside out.
For your journey, I’ve curated a selection of timeless and impactful books that serve as cornerstones for personal growth and greatness.
These books encompass character development, habit formation, and emotional intelligence.
They will equip you with the tools and insights you need to navigate life’s challenges, make meaningful changes, and cultivate your personal effectiveness starting with your inner core.
Why Build a Core of Personal Effectiveness
Here are three compelling reasons to build a core of personal effectiveness:
- Achieving Your Dreams: Personal effectiveness is the compass that guides you toward your dreams and goals. It empowers you to set clear objectives, manage your time wisely, and make informed decisions. With these skills, you can transform your aspirations into concrete, achievable plans. Imagine the satisfaction of realizing your dreams, whether they involve advancing in your career, nurturing fulfilling relationships, or pursuing personal growth.
- Resilience in the Face of Challenges: Life is full of unexpected challenges and setbacks. Personal effectiveness equips you with the resilience and problem-solving abilities needed to navigate these hurdles with grace and determination. It’s about bouncing back from adversity, learning from failures, and emerging stronger and wiser. By developing your personal effectiveness, you can face life’s storms with unwavering courage and emerge victorious.
- Empowering Others and Leaving a Legacy: Personal effectiveness is not only about self-improvement but also about inspiring and empowering others. As you enhance your communication, leadership, and interpersonal skills, you become a beacon of guidance and support for those around you. Whether you’re a parent, a mentor, or a leader, your personal effectiveness can shape the lives of others positively. In this way, you leave a lasting legacy of growth, impact, and empowerment.
From Daddy…
Dear Son,
Remember you have warrior’s blood in your veins
The code that made me as your father is the same code that will make you a man that your children will admire and respect
Put your pain in a box, lock it down, we are men made up of boxes, chambers of loss and triumph, of hurt and hope and love
No one is stronger and more dangerous than a man who can harness his emotions, his past
Use it as fuel, as ammunition, as ink to write the most important letter of your life.
Love Daddy!
The Kipling Poem – What A Man Should Be!
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise;
If you can dream- -and not make dreams your master;
If you can think- -and not make thoughts your aim,
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same:.
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build’em up with worn-out tools;
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings,
And never breathe a word about your loss:
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on! ‘
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings- -nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much:
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And- -which is more- -you’ll be a Man, my son!
By Rudyard Kipling
