AWGA亞洲行LP畢業生校友會

這是 LP創辦人 Kelly Poulos (Kelly媽咪) 送給所有LP畢業生 & AWGA 的祝賀詞~~

Message for AWGA 

Greetings from San Francisco California!

Congratulations to Linda Lu and the entire AWGA creation team!

 What a fantastic opportunity for all of us to continue learning.

I am often asked, after more than 40 years of doing my work, how can I remain passionate every time. For me the answer has two parts:

#1 The first part is the power of compelling desire.

I am compelled to contribute to men and women who have goals they care about and sincerely want to reach them.  I enjoy the process of "being" with committed people like you in that process.  At the end of the journey to our goals we win or we lose.  Like you I LOVE the experience of winning!  However, sometimes we lose...Both winning and losing are our teachers if we use both results as an opportunity to learn.  Winning feels better, but we still must ask what made that happen so that we can do it again. Losing feels lousy but it can be our most powerful teacher.  It is who we become in losing that generates a will to succeed.  In this journey you and I get to know each other.  We share good times and bad times together and our relationship grows.  I find that journey compelling and one of the ingredients of a game worth playing.

#2 The second part is lifelong learning.

Lifelong learning is the "secret" to staying emotionally committed to our goals.  Over time it is easy to get complacent and disconnected with "why" the goal was important to us. The people I admire the most never stop learning and growing.  They know that you are either moving forwards or backwards, there is no such thing as standing still.

The Chinese character that represents the word "learning” is composed of two parts: a symbol that means, "to accumulate knowledge," above a symbol for a child in a doorway.

The "child in a doorway" symbol felt exactly right to me.  Children are spontaneously curious, asking questions ALL THE TIME!  They are excited about new discoveries.  There is a youthful energy to someone who is a lifelong learner.  We feel alive and inspired around them.

I am committed to lifelong learning and I believe that AWGA supports all of us in doing that.

Looking forward to my Secrets to Winning workshop May 2 & 3.  Hope to see you there and continue our learning together.

Love,

Kelly Poulos

給AWGA校友會的訊息

來自加州舊金山的祝賀！

恭喜Linda和全體AWGA校友會籌備小組！對我們來說，這是一個很棒的機會來持續學習！

我常常被問，如何能在四十多年工作生涯中常保熱情，關於我，這個答案有以下兩個部份：

#1  第一個部份是熱切渴望的力量

我非常想貢獻給那些在乎目標、也真心想要達成的人。我很享受和像你們一樣有承諾的人共同經歷那樣的過程。

在旅程的最終，我們的目標可能贏可能輸。像你們一樣，我”熱愛”贏的體驗；然而，我們有時候也會輸… 如果我們運用這兩種結果作為學習的機會，我們可以將贏和輸都當成我們的老師。

贏會感覺好一點，但我們仍要問一問是什麼讓我們贏，以致於我們可以再贏一次；輸會感到失落，但是它可以是我們有力量的老師，在輸的時候，我們會成為怎樣的一個人是更重要的，因為那樣的我才是帶來成功決心和意志力的關鍵。

在這段旅程當中我們了解了彼此，我們共同分享了榮景和衰落，讓我們的關係也有所提升。我覺得這段旅程是吸引人的，也是一場值得玩的遊戲之因。

#2  第二個部份是終身學習

終身學習是能夠對於我的目標常保情感上的承諾的”秘密”。我們常常容易自滿，也對於”為什麼”目標對我們的重要性失去連結！我最敬佩於那些不停學習和成長的人們。他們知道你是不進則退的，沒有所謂的停在原點。

在中文裡 “learning(學)”這個字是由兩個部份組成的，這個字的意思是”累積知識”，下半部是在門口的一個小孩子。

我覺得“門口的孩子” 的意思這個比喻完全正確。孩子有油然而生的好奇心、一直在發問！他們對於探索新事物充滿興奮。對於那些終身學習的人們，是有一股青春的能量的！我們可以在他們身旁收到生氣勃勃和充滿啟發。

我承諾於終身學習，我也相信AWGA校友會會支持大家終身學習！

歡迎大家來到我5月2-3日 “贏的秘密” 工作坊。期望到時候可以看到大家，讓我們一起持續學習！

我愛你們,

Kelly Poulos
