It is never easy kicking start something, be it a actual company or just a hobby.
For me, even though I have been in BB for quite long now, i always avoided BB CARES or somehow, some one else will get to do it for the Company.
DaDang! This year, somehow, its finally my turn to touch this uncharted grounds and the responsibility entrusted to me is a bit huge. Of course i am not exactly worried because behind me, there are always a bunch of people supporting me, UBUNTU!!!
Haha, Sorry for the randomness.
Anyway, this year, the challenge for our Company in terms of BB CARES involvement is the fact that 3 willing soul decided to take on the Founders Award Challenge. In my Company, if you want,only if you desire and is up to the challenge, will the Officers fight for the Awards, with the Boys. So genuinely, i can say that it is because the Boys wanted the JM Fraser for the Company, hence we worked together to achieve it. So far, we manage to break the trend of receiving consecutive Bronze award and in the past 2 award years, we have been able to obtain Silver award. The current Boys and team of leaders (adult and the post-sec) are working very hard to secure Gold for this coming year Assessment which i am ever so thankful about.
Ya, why did i deviate? Anyway,so the responsibility to make sure that this BB CARES not only fulfil the Brigade requirement, but also the Founders Award requirement is a bit challenging.
Some may ask, why then should i maintain this blog? Should i not focus on the planing aspect and pour in more effort to it then just make a blog which not many would see? Well, that brings me to the point on what does this Blog serve.
This Blog served to record reflections. To the FAAs, they are required to maintain a blog so that to consolidate their learning as part of the Community Service Stage 3 requirement. What better way to do it them? Just that i will position myself as a mere facilitator while they are the guys doing the hard work.
Anyway, when you reflect, you can adopt different styles. But the most fool proof styles is the following keep using the 5 W and 1 H.
WHAT
WHY
WHO
WHEN
WHERE
HOW
WHAT - give the reader and the author a time to reflect what actually happen
WHY - offer a reason behind the thoughts and feeling of the person
WHO - who did what? It becomes blur over time
WHEN - gives a time tag to the reflections
WHERE - gives a place tag to the feelings
HOW - (Do i really need to explain it?)
So, WHAT do you need to do to have a Blog that collects all your reflections?
Firstly, discipline. Discipline to maintain at least 1 entry per week. Starting this week.
Secondly, internet access. (obviously)
Thirdly, motivation. This one I will rally many to support you guys. So do maintain your blog!
I will try my best to post some entries along the way in case you guys are stuck. But just like what is the title of this entry "Kick Starting Things". Do kick start your Journey to Founders! Colossians 3:23
