Momentum
March 12th, 2008 by eyupmsocietyToday, I’m going to share with you all about momentum. This is how my physic teacher starts on his momentum lesson during my secondary school years. He explained that “The effect of motion is called Momentum”. The formula for it, is p=mv, where by P is momentum, M is mass and V is the velocity.
Don’t worry everyone, I am not going to give you a physics lesson today, The Momentum I’m going to talk about is something which you have to devote a lot of time to study and apply to your life, to your job, and even to your relationship. It is something that keeps you going further and further, harder and harder than ever before without slowing down or stop. Let’s take running for an example, you are running 20km/hour when you want to increase the speed up to 80km/hour, you will have to keep the momentum to maintain that speed, that momentum to keep you at 80km/hour.
Let me share with you a story about the real meaning of momentum. In the past three years, Youth camp was organized by Swancity Toastmaster club, my hometown TM club. Now, to plan and organize this youth camp, without earning money, seeking for large and generous sponsorship, and devoting a lot of time to work it out as a successful camp required momentum, and I can assure u, it was not easy. I’ve been with the team to organize it and the organizing team had so much momentum that, year after year, youth camp came out to be such a successful youth camp despite all the hard work and obstacles we went through. And the team deserves a big round of applause because we are the man behind all this great momentum. And we still continue with this momentum to organize more successful youth camps in years to come (An incoming 2008 camp, falls on 21st March – Easter Day, 4D3N).
For a personal experience, I love the power of momentum. It feels great when you do things with great momentum. One of current my momentums is to train my golf skills into an amateur stage, so that I can go in to a 18holes golf course. I’ve devoted lots of time on my momentum for my golfing. For you it might not be golfing, but the same principle applies to all things, life, business and relationship. It’s funny when I say momentum keeps you alive, it is like your soul, without it, you are just a walking “corpse”, and people do agree with this statement.
No matter how accomplished you are, no matter how well you think you know your field, you have to maintain that momentum to remain vigilant about the details of your field. You can’t get by on experience or being smart.
No matter what you are managing, don’t assume you can glide by. We are all capable of losing our momentum and there is no reason to put your self into that position. Momentum is something you have to work at to maintain.
