The FISH! Philosophy -- Part 2!!

Hi hi, my dear friends ... ...

It has been two weeks since I last posted the Fish! Philosophy article in my blog. So have you implemented any of the four philosophy? Or you have implemented them all? That's GREAT! It's so fantastic! Did you implement it in your working place, your school, with your family or with your friends? So how is the result? Excellent? Oh my oh my, I am so happy for you! So did you feel the impact of how such a four simple philosophy can have such a positive tremendous effect on you?

OR till now, you have did nothing after reading the article? Do you still continue the monotonous way of life, feeling so tired and just can't seem to get enough rest and play? Do you have the sense of satisfaction and achievement from your work, study and relationship with others? Are you satisfied of what you are having now or doing now? Do you want to achieve more, be happier, be more satisfied, etc?

As for me, I did implement the philosophy on one of my colleagues by 'playing' and 'making her day' (playing and making their day belongs to the Fish! Philosophy) through doing one simple action for her. That action only caused me less than five minutes but the impact on her was so great that she was so happy throughout the day and she even shared her happiness with the rest of the colleagues by showing the rest what I have done for her and thus also leading to the rest of the colleagues to be very happy and delighted too ... ... very 'contagious' effect. HeHeHe. I never expect the result is so great as I thought only my colleague will be happy but never thought that the whole department will be happy too.

So what are the three commitments of the Fish! Philosophy once you learnt about the philosophy: -

1) Find IT. This is the primary commitment to sustain the vision that you holds in the various aspects for your life. For example, your vision for your friendship is to be a good friend who can be there for your friends when they need you. Not just play and have fun.

2) Live IT. This means that you have various action plans to actually carry out the IT that you mention in Point 1. For example, you can give your friends some advice when they meet any problems. You can share with your friends what you have learnt from others so that your friends can also 'grow' intellectually, spiritually or physically. You can give them little surprises to make their day. You can be proactive in talking to them and to let them know that you are always be there for them, etc.

3) Coach IT. This means that you actually teach others what you practiced so that everybody can guide and teach one other and keep each other motivated and grow to greater heights. So you teach your friends what you learnt and practised and your friends teach their friends what you taught them and so on and so forth.

This is more of a personal example. If you apply the three commitments to the Pike Place Fish Market case, their IT under 'Point 1 - find IT' will be to be the world famous fish market that everybody knows and everybody will visit when they go to Seattle. They achieve this by implementing the four Fish! Philosophy which are Play, Make Their Day, Be There and Choose Your Attitude.
They definitely 'Live IT' by having some much fun in their work and also bringing lots of smiles and laughters to those people who are watching them playing. Why they have so much fun is because they choose their own attitude by choosing it to be very positive.
And last but not least, they 'Coach IT' by teaching their new staff how to play, make customers' days, be there for the customers and choose to have positive attitude when they are working. Because of these three commitments, they achieve what they wanted to do and not only that, they are so successful that they actually have a website and allow online ordering for customers ... ... Wow Wow ...

Here I actually attached the link to Pike Place Fish Market's website. Take your time to browse the website. The most important link you must check it out is "sights and sounds". In this link, you get to see short clips how they actually have fun at their workplace and how they make customers happy and thus making customers come back again and again.

So the question to you is, "If you have not implement the Fish! Philosophy in the various aspects of your life, are you going to do it NOW or ... ... Do you realize that you have missed out so much excitement in your life? Do it TODAY and be happy!!"

Action speaks louder than words and its only with action then you will have reaction!!!
