9 Core Values/ American Idol Finals

...Lo aNd BeHoLd...


Every good officer should know the significance of the nine core values. For those who do not know, these core values serve as pillars of guidance and support to soldiers in the utmost of situations. Loyalty to country, Leadership, Discipline, Professionalism, Fighting Spirit, Ethics, Care for Soldiers, Team Excellence and Safety. To many of us these might seem like mere pieces of words and I DO Agree to that to a certain extent. These ideals are unimportant words when used on a daily routine. However, one must realise that these words manifest their true form, in the full splendor of their ultimate meaning and prowess when we need them the most. Hence, it is always crucial for a leader to reflect upon these core values when making a command decision. Am I doing the right thing? Am I thinking of the people under me? Am I going to push forward regardless of the circumstances? I personally believe, stick to the core values whenever in doubt and you will never go wrong.


AMERICAN IDOL FINALE


The moment i've been waiting for this entire year is finally here. The American Idol Finale 2008. I have never been so passionate about music my entire life. Been collating all my music scores, singing and recording more songs than ever before, practicing my saxaphone, practicing my violin, practicing my keyboard and am going to learn the guitar soon. Music has never been burning in my blood at such levels before. It has consumed my entire being and illuminated my life. On another note, I forsee that David Cook is going to win the competition as he will be able to attract a larger pool of people from the older crowd. However, David Archuleta's blusey voice is an unique force to be reckoned with. Personally, I feel that rock songs can be done with much more ease than songs that require great voice controls and ornaments. Just like songs sung by the great Mariah Carey and Luther Vandross. On the other hand, anyone can sing a rock song but few have the voice to give the angst and feeling needed to the rock song. It is, in my words, a gift to be able to do so. I guess the best man will win. Either way, both of the Davids are phenomenal. Bravo!!!


On a final note, am looking forward to work tomorrow. It just seems to get more and more exciting. If I could, i'll just camp my entire day there. Of course, I would run up and down my favourite hill once in awhile and hit the gym daily.... DANTE outing officially has 10 people now and the numbers are growing. Feel the love you'al....!!!!!
