Few things I love sports, I engage myself and enjoy sports coz its a continuous learning path. You learn more about yourself you develop habits you might not even notice such as: 1. You become goal oriented🎯 Avoiding distractions and keeping your head on the game, that's a discipline. 2. You take failures as fuels.🏋♀️ Loosing the game doesn't define you as a failure. It developed your patience. You just need to keep up and learn more from others. Go back to #1 focus on your goals. and, 3. You develop more trust to God👆 You focus on your goals, your not a failure by loosing the game and you trust God for that. You trust him that next time you'll gonna win the game with all those exerted efforts and preparations you've made its all for him. Whatever sports you choose, with him, nothing is impossible. We become more successful in life developing those good habits in our life.🏆🏆🏆 #HappySunday #Justdoit

The research report of the project 'Lifting Barriers to Gender Equity in the Australian Construction Industry' is out now. Please access it through the below link. This report is the primary outcome of an extensive research carried out utilising a survey with the participation of 441 females across the Australian construction industry and 8 focus group discussions. This report provides recommendations for improving gender equity across 6 areas namely: Recruitment, Policy Formation, Policy Monitoring and Controlling, Industry Practice, Education and Social Networks related to organisational and industry levels in the construction industry. This report specifically discusses different barriers to gender equity of females seperately for different work categories such managerial workers, professional workers, clerical and administration workers, trades workers, operators and labourers. I am thankful to National Association of Women in Construction (AU) for funding this important area of research and Prof.Raufdeen Rameezdeen for being my mentor and Maheshi Tennakoon and Gihan Tennakoon for being the research assistants. This project would have not been a success without all of your contributions, which I gratefully appreciate.
