I don't read that much book during my free time, mainly cause I'm not sure if I have any 😁 and since I don't get relaxed by reading, as I have to do it for my living so much. However, every now and then I read something, during the vacations, and sometimes if I have less busy weekend. I found a really great book from our local library, it has been published only recently, and unfortunately, currently it is only in Finnish, a book called "Be Sensei of Your Own Life - The Road of Black Belt to Good Life (translated by me)".
After reading this book, I realized that my values are close to the values obeyed in karate. The book chapters were divided based on each color of the belts and they were:
- White belt - Authenticity
- Yellow belt - Respect
- Orange belt - Self image
- Green belt - Communication
- Blue belt - Balance
- Purple belt - Creativity
- Brown belt - Beauty
- Black belt - Modesty
So now I once again, understood better my behavior as a leader, supervisor and mentor, for which the student's have so often thanked me for, since I always say "Don't be afraid to fail, be afraid not to try!" And I also value a lot the thought that we all are incomplete and that the life is a journey of learning, also for me. These were the issues among many others that were dealt in the book via nice conversion of mentor and mentee. So if you agree with this ideology, I'm happy to work with you! 😎
