When people will understand that except for life itself nobody lives forever as death sees us all as equal, Man, Creatures, and Gods alike, they will see that the peace is always here when we are not disturbing it. There is no means by one can achieve peace as peace is always achieved already when we stop a minute and see that it's already here... Even the competition with oneself it's still competition and maybe the root of competition with the others... When One is Oneself fully there is no need to compete with anyone, it is already peace, and in itself peace it's the end of all needs. When there are no more needs, the wants can be fully enjoyed just because of themselves... The competition with Oneself implies that there are two selves and that in itself it's the root of the problem. Seeing that as the root, the solution can verywell emerge by making the two one, that can be in itself the self.

He explained that the partnership doesn't just span over the time of the event, but close contact is kept with the national teams during the 4 year break in competitions.

An Excellent Contribution in Shaping the Future of Fermentation in the Food Industry

This week's 'Thursday's Thought' is one that I feel transcends purely a sporting record, and shines a light on true grit, determination, resilience, and belief. Attributes we can all learn from. Overnight Sir Mark Cavendish KBE (Cav) broke the long-standing record for the most Tour De France (TDF) stage wins (35), previously held by Eddy Merckx. Now this is not only a sporting 'win' but, when you begin to understand Cav's journey, one that has overcome more than most Athletes.. Cav won his first TDF stage back in 2008, and across his career has 165 professional wins, including World Championships on the Road and the Track. Alongside his wins, he has had to overcome two bouts of Epstein–Barr virus (EBV), and numerous injuries that kept him from breaking this record. Now none of us are Cav, but why I chose this as my weekly post, is that in our own careers we are identified as being talented early in our pathway, just as Cav's early Coaches and Mentors saw such talent. The support of those around us, that can see our potential, is another parallel with Elite Athletes, and when times get tough, when we have set backs, like Athletes we double down and 'get back in the saddle' in our work. We may not ever stand on the top step of the dais, or wear the rainbow or green jersey, but once again we can all learn from Athletes like Cav and try to get to the line first, in our own race; with grit, determination, resilience, and belief. Chapeau Cav, chapeau. #athletewellbeingandengagement #grit #determination #resilience #belief #careers #careerdevelopment #support #talentidentification #eliteperformence

TAKE A FEW MINUTES TO LEARN ABOUT THE MEDAL OF HONOR

113 Years of Achievement in every field of human endeavor.

Being a lighthouse in the ocean of competition can be done by simply being unique.

Shout out to Lauryn Groce and Hannah Siefert and team that put on a great event! 🙌🏾 This was actually my first networking event related to sports - and I got a chance to meet some great people. 3 Things I learned from the speakers: 1. “Micro Mentoring” anyone can be an expert in your circle in topics you may not excel in, at the minimum a friend 2. Successful leaders are intuitive but even more just want to learn as much as they can from areas that intrigue them - to then be a resource for multiple people in a organization. My favorite line was a “Swiss army knife” 3. Goals can look a lot of different ways and everyone may not understand your vision - so understand the business goals and relate those down to your long term vision no matter what your title is

I'm going to focus my posts this week on #coaching. After all, I've learned this past year that it can mean a lot of things. What exactly does it mean to me? ⛹♂️ Arkansas State University point guard Derrian Ford describes it well in this video when he talks about basketball and cybersecurity. The short answer? In IT, there are a lot of Xs and Os that won't help you succeed. Don't be fooled by them. 🃏 Find a #technology firm to partner with that brings your business the winning playbook. That's how winners win. #YourITcoach #PCAknowsIT
