i've learnt a new lesson today, perhaps just to share and trigger some thoughts.. quoting my instructor's drawing and words:




now let's just take a look at the picture.

this is a curve that shows our general reaction towards stress. if stress is low, performance is low, in an ideal situation, the maximum stress we can take will give us the maximum performance. however, if we pass that threshold, we'll probably break and have low performance levels again if the stress is unreasonably high.

another takeaway is that different pple have different curves, for example, a normal soldier's curve might be the green line, and as officers to be, after going thru the training, ur curve may be the yellow one.. this picture clearly shows a mismatch between ur men's ability and urs. therefore the lesson learnt here is to learn to look at things from their perspective, because wad is generally acceptable for u might cause ur men to "max out"

ultimately, all of us should work towards the goal of improving our curve, moving outwards like the orange line..


haha.. i particularly wanted to share this, as a reminder to myself because sometimes i tend to be quite harsh with others, for example, my younger brother and many of my "brothers" out there, if u get my point.. things like simple maths question for my brother, and many others for my brothers.. lol.. well, i hope this teaches me to be more patient in future.
