Hello,
Hope you had a good week.
Quite a normal week here.
Currently on a book called "Speed of Trust" by Stephen M.R. Covey. I had bought the book initially thinking it was Stephen Covey the author of the 7 Habits. Apparently this is his son who wrote this book. The father has written the foreword and son keeps referring to his dad's words once in a while. One "concept" that was new was the point about Trust being a factor of Character and Competence. I guess we normally think trust as a factor of belief, good will, honesty etc. However he goes about to a great extent explaining why competence is so important in building trust and good character alone doesn't cut it. Interesting so far.
Nandhitha's first school interview happened this week in a Catholic school. Guess she did fairly well in it mostly because of the fact that she had been to the pre-school here and she was used to playing with some of the "toys" they had given her to play. Learning a few new rhymes from her now like 5 Cheeky Monkeys swinging on the tree. :-)
Family game time has started here with a kids version of Monopoly and Go-Fish. Remember hearing about Go-Fish many years ago (was it you Sav??) and I think I didn't quite get it then. Even now had to read up the rules several times to understand. It's not that complicated. (Guess nothing is complicated once understood). Here mom and daughter have teamed up against me. Yet to figure out a strategy to beat them. Of course my winning streak has been on the higher side if it was just me against Nandhitha. ;-) (Shameless eh!!)
Have A Great Week
