We spend so much time investing in our talks and thinking about the things we are going to say so hard; that when it gets time for us to listen to other people talk we think its a “rest break” for the mind. In otherwords; it’s called passive listening. The only way we can learn from others is if we put the same amount of energy for listening as for talking .

I read this in a book today and thought that I need to work on that myself. I tend to have selective attention sometimes. Seeking perfection to achieve excellence is what I shoot for!

My buddy Eric started up his blog recently. His site is called FluidScreen Check it out for yourself, it’s pretty cool. Well you know somebody gotta spread the word about the best blogging software out there. Wordpress!! Spread the love I say!

From losing streak to winning streak! Finally I beat the dude, and then I played 3 different guys after that win. I beat the first 6-0 - 6-1 and the second 6-1 the third 6-2, 6-1, 6-1. Yes I guess I’m playing my best tennis so far. But my knee starting to hurt.. Too much tennis.. but it’s a sign of good form. The rule of thumb is to bend your knees when your hitting a ball in tennis. Keep that in mind!

UPDATE I just beat him again today “Sunday 11th” we played 3 sets. I won the first at tie-breaker 7-6 (7-3) then lost the second 2-6 and won the third 7-5. I’m liking my game now. Never give up and keep trying that’s the lesson I’m learning from Tennis!

So I decided to take the parents to see some beautiful scenes. What a better place then Dow Garden I took lots of pictures with my camera. Have fun checking them out!

I was looking for cool places to take my parents right? So I took them to Frankenmuth. We took a ride on the boat, it was about an hour. Pretty nice and peaceful then we went to the mirror maze. Well it’s a maze of mirrors pretty slick, you feel pretty dizzy if you stay there long though. Finally we went to the Bavarian Inn restaurant and ate good chicken. I took some photos of nature and cool places.
