#1Book1Week September 2020

 

Why read? "Read to refill the wells of inspiration," said Harold Ockenga, who took a suitcase of books on his honeymoon! As a leader (in any field), you need to learn consistently. There are many ways to do it, one of the most effective ways is by reading books 📖 (second is YouTube!). Read Christian books for your spiritual benefit. Read other subjects too for intellectual growth. Read to spark your imagination and to challenge your current beliefs. Read for fun! 😉

In the world of social media today, to be a leader, you must CHOOSE depth, not shallow thinking. Social media gives you titbits, entertainment-based news, and lots of negativity. You'll be depressed easily. Try reading books. Because it is not that 'viral' thing nowadays (people with millions of followers on TikTok are not famous because they promote or reviewing books. Duh!), you can be ahead of others who don't read. In this way, you will always be a leader. A real influencer ⚡💪🙏 #ServeToLead #LetsMakeReadingCoolAgain #LeadersAreReaders #Mythology #PersonalDevelopment #History #Religion #Fiction

The Decision: Overcoming Today's BS for Tomorrow's Success (2020, Audible Original) by Kevin Hart, Book Review

 

The Decision: Overcoming Today's BS for Tomorrow's Success
(2020, Audible Original) by Kevin Hart

I usually don’t write a review about audiobook but this time (or from now on) - I will. I just want to get this out: Kevin Hart is seriously funny! Funnily serious! Seriously real! “Sometimes ‘The Decision’ will require going past the edges of your comfort zone,” said Mr. Hart starting his audio Mental Fitness Bootcamp, “and the upper limits of your beliefs, and stepping into the unknown.” From there he breathes fire! I laughed with his jokes; I was impressed by his wits; I respect his honesty and vulnerability. For 5 hours 54 minutes, he bombarded my ears with his “gold-nugget-sh*t-of-truths.” Part self-help book, part autobiography, part stand-up routine, The Decision gives me a glimpse into the mind and attitude of one of the most hardworking men in the entertainment industry. He is an award-winning actor, comedian, producer, entrepreneur, and of course, writer.

What’s unique about audiobooks is that the narrator(s) can either bring out the best or make the book boring to listen to. For example, I love to read Stephen King’s books, but I don’t like it when he narrates it. Boring as hell. Kevin Hart? Superb! It’s like listening to his Netflix specials. Mind you, what he said is not that different from other self-help or personal development gurus (except for his own stories), it is the way he said it that shows to me that he really believes and means it. His positivity is contagious. What stuck with me are these themes: “What-Is-Ness” Deal with what-is, accept what you cannot change, and make the best of it; “Cowboying Up” It means taking ownership by not only taking responsibility for your words and actions, but everything in life; “Teddy Bearing” It is about being likable, personable, and pleasant; and “Sponginess” Readily soak up knowledge from people around you and those who are better at what you were trying to do.

I’m always a fan of Mr. Hart. I’ve watched lots of his movies (my favourites are Get Hard, Think Like A Man, and Wedding Ringer), all his stand-ups, and interviews especially with Joe Rogan (You got to listen or watch it!). It’s not that he is perfect - he was cheating his wife, that homophobic tweets issue, etc. - but because he owned up his mistakes, learned from them, and move forward. Proof? Listen to The Decision! 😉⚡📖 #ServeToLead #LeadersAreReaders #LetsMakeReadingCoolAgain #1Book1Week #TheDecisionKevinHart #OvercomingBS

Masa Sunyi Mengukuhkan Emosi (Matius 14:13-14)

 

Iman Kristian bukan hanya tentang kerohanian dan pengetahuan, tetapi juga EMOSI. Tanpa emosi, iman akan menjadi seperti robot dan bosan. Tetapi kalau terlalu dikawal oleh emosi, iman akan runtuh. Emosi ialah hamba yang baik tetapi tuan yang jahat. Bagaimana untuk mengawal dan mengukuhkan emosi? Ambil masa sunyi 🔇🔕🤫

Lihat contoh Yesus Kristus, Dia "menaiki perahu dan pergi seorang diri ke suatu tempat sunyi" (Matius 14:13). Kenapa Dia berbuat begitu? Apakah kepentingannya? Bagaimana cara untuk melakukannya? ⚡ #ServeToLead #InjilMarkus

Markus 4:21-25 Kenapa Kita Harus Berkongsi Tentang Kebenaran? (#InjilMarkus S.1 E.31)

 

Yesus berkata kepada orang ramai, “Pernahkah orang memasang pelita lalu menyorokkannya di bawah pasu atau katil? Tentu diletakkannya di atas kaki pelita. Yang tersembunyi akan dinyatakan, yang dirahsiakan akan didedahkan. Jika kamu bertelinga, dengarlah" (Markus 4:21-23) 👂 Mari saya terangkan lima (5) sebab kenapa kita harus berkongsi tentang kebenaran 👇😉🙏 #ServeToLead #InjilMarkus #MisiDanPenginjilan

There Is No Courage Unless You're Scared

For me, courage is not the absence of fear but the willingness to push on in the face of it. "Courage is doing what you're afraid to do," agreed Eddie Rickenbacker, "There is no courage unless you're scared" 😉⚡🙏 #ServeToLead #GrowingLeader #BeEncouragedAndCourageous

Hell Has Disappeared and No One Noticed

 

By "disappeared" what Mr. Martin means is that nobody talks or preaches about the reality of hell anymore. On a rare occasion, a minister preached a sermon on this subject. The next day a young man came to see him dispute what he heard preached. He said to the minister, "I believe that there is a difference between what you and I believe about eternal punishment. I came here to settle this difference."

The minister thought for a while 🤔 and then turned to the young man and said, "There is no dispute between you and me. If you turn to Matthew 25:46 you will find the dispute is between you and the Lord Jesus Christ, and I advise you to go immediately and settle it with Him." #ServeToLead #HeavenAndHell #FaithAndDoubt

Mengapa & Bagaimana Yohanes Pembaptis Mati (Matius 14:1-12)

 

Herodes "telah memerintahkan supaya Yohanes ditangkap, diikat dan dipenjarakan, disebabkan Herodias, isteri saudaranya Filipus. Yohanes telah memberitahu Herodes, 'Mengambil Herodias sebagai isterimu adalah haram.' Herodes hendak membunuh Yohanes tetapi takut kerana rakyat menganggapnya seorang nabi" (Matius 14:3-5).

Kenapa saya berpendapat bahawa Herodes ialah seorang psikopat a.k.a. sakit jiwa? Tahukah kamu bahawa kerana dendam cita-cita Herodes tercapai? Bagaimana sumpah bodoh boleh menyebabkah kepala Yohanes dipancung? 😲😯😮 #ServeToLead #InjilMatius
