Some say that my teaching is nonsense.Others call it lofty but impractical.
But to those who have looked inside themselves,
this nonsense makes perfect sense.
And to those who put it into practice,
this loftiness has roots that go deep.
I have three treasures which I hold and keep.
The first is compassion;
the second is simplicity;
the third is daring not to be ahead of others.
From compassion comes courage;
from simplicity comes generosity;
from humility comes leadership.
Nowadays men shun mercy, but try to be brave;
They abandon economy, but try to be generous;
They do not believe in humility, but always try to be first.
This is certain death.
Compassion brings victory in battle and strength in defense.
It is the means by which heaven saves and guards.
[For Personal Development]
- Kinesthetic learners learn best by doing, by putting theory into actions.
- When we are patient and accept what ‘is’, we are able to tap the power of now.
- Do not run away from your pain. Have the courage to hold it; look deeply into it; love it like a mother comforting her crying baby. With understanding and compassion, you can begin to heal your wounds, and the wounds of the world.
- From simplicity grows generosity. Simplicity equals an abundant life without an abundance of stuff. It is human nature to be generous when we feel we have more than enough.
- Coaching skill development goes hand in hand with the personal development. Some coaching skills/concepts do not make sense for beginner coaches until the personal development catches on.
- Our compassion for our clients and the absence of make-wrongs, enables us to create the trust and intimacy necessary for coaching to work.
- In deep connection with ourselves we are able to connect deeply with our clients.
