...go far, stay long, see deep

...flew to Jordan on Friday, July 8th...another long boring flight...about 10 hours including 45 minutes on-board transit at Bangkok...i slept half of the way and spent another half reading book 'The Story of Israel's Economic Miracle'...the 3rd chapter starts with a very interesting quote 'go far, stay long, see deep'...kinda like a secret to become innovative...if we go farther, stay longer and see deeper, we'll understand the true meaning of 'observation'...a pre-requisite to become innovative, creative and inventive...together with the right motive or purpose or objective or whatever you wanna call it...now back to the purpose of my trip to Jordan...leaving my family again wasn't easy...but i have very important jobs to do...to give a 30-minute presentation about the idea of World Association of Islamic Business Schools...then to chair a meeting with Business Schools' deans/representatives from several OIC countries...and to speak about the idea at the press conference...that's the plan...so despite the jet lag, i spent several hours the night before the conference preparing my speech and organizing my mind for the important meeting...unfortunately...in fact very unfortunately...the event was poorly organized...chaotic...useless...felt really sick with the organizer who sense no feeling of guilt at all...i believe the motive/intention (nawaitu) was wrong from the beginning...hence the irresponsible/leisure attitude...what a waste...
