It all depends on how you are motivated to achieve something…

Moments of glory of our dear pilot Formula 1. For me it was so far, the Greater.
I recalled the day that deprived us of their presence among us.
All we remember to be a determined, full of tenacity, commitment and perfection in what was…
It is a nostalgia but also the conviction that his human qualities, because of the similar, it allowed a place in the podium of eternal life… a place full of light.
A source that has always been present in my life and always has been and will be for many an example of determination, courage and love for that primarily does. When writing about being a leader, on being the best, not the competitive sense what matters, or rather, that is exactly what it is compete every day with yourself, so you will always be better than yesterday.
Because this is reflected in the diving? I do not know, just pay up and with too much love and the rest will come as a result.
And always remember the old Chinese saying goes.
When things are very bad, remember that happening. But when everything happening and you are in the best moment of his life, remember that this also happening.

Love to be even better.

It is not today that I talk about always seek excellence in everything you put your hand.
Today we have a video that I find very cool about one of my biggest idols in the sport, Michael Jordan.

First Diving..

The feeling is great, I always liked that thing to mount equipment, try this, try that. That cold in the belly knowing that once the boat berth we will be in touch with a completely new world. Although it is not my first experience at sea, because since the ten-year-old practice snorkling, sport I learned from my father is that the PADI diver. But it is my first contact with scuba dive.
And it was thinking about all this and with my wife that we arrive at the place of diving in Bela Island – Brazil.
How is the basic course, we had only that meet certain series of exercises on Saturday and Sunday.
But for simpler it is, is extremely important, because we do part of the plan of career, in our minds, it was not only diving, we demand that the best of ourselves, try as much as possible put into practice what we learned in theory, in the pool and we were training there in the sea. Until because one of our goals is to be in Fernando de Noronha – Brazil, working at the end of the year, therefore we have a tremendous demand with ourselves, not to miss and if mistakes, correct.
Even though everything went well in two days, Office of Emergency controlled ascent, displacement of diver tired, simulation of lack of oxygen, everything went well.
But what I really I dedicated myself more and I have left with a very good basis has been the buoyancy.
Function which is the divisor of waters of the diving and for us a question of honour practically (hahahahaha), but rather to control treinei and buoyancy in the diving on Sunday and I and some companions were doing more tourism with one of the divemasters and I could already down close to the ground and when I wanted to climb and only with the controls of the lungs, is a unique experience, it is like flying. On that day also was glad for the fact that once I control the buoyancy, I make less effort unnecessary and thereby have more oxygen for diving.
Finally, applied everything they learned in courses at sea and just leaving me well, I felt a little people by big dive capped with the divemasters.
Some Tips.
- Beware of backpacks and electronics, all wet on the boat.
- They offer fruit, juice and water.
- Get the appointment.
- If for Island-Bela and never have gone, check the time of the ferry, it takes longer.
- If you never put the clothes of diving, try to do with a bag of supermarket involving your hands or feet, one at a time, you will see how much easier.
- Support the instructors, meet people, they are all very legal and receive everyone with open arms, much chat and exchanged experience.
- No boat there is a shower with hot water, enjoy, but do not spend much water.
Play-not very touching anything with their hands or fish, remember that at various points of diving in the world, you have to have a good buoyancy because they can not tap into absolutely nothing… the other reason is that it does not appear be very cool touch on something in the sea, leave everything where this, a not animals, only the visual short, the nature and the silence animals and careful where you step, not to break anything.
- Otherwise, it just fall into the water and enjoy the tour.
We also all control of spending at the end of week, I will move to clean and post here soon.
In the section of divelog I will be putting the technical data of the 4 dives into beautiful island.
The end of week (1 and March 2) will be back to the beautiful island to perform the advanced diving. Search and recovery, night, deep among other… going to be another great weekend.

More about Leadership

How are you?

Yesterday, Sunday, I was at home looking to buy some more books and continue to deepen my learning in the world of leadership and also of diving.
But today when came to work, I spent in front of a school, that students should have ate the eighth series and noticed a guy who works receiving the students. It’s a boy with some 40 years more or less, black, high, which is on the door of the school giving good day to students, playing with them, it is even fun, hugging and talking slang as boys.
Imagine you come to school, the 6-morning, with much sleep, knowing the various tasks that will have to do during the day… you already came to go home, but that guy was the difference, he hugging and played with everyone so that everybody smile, played with them too, was that time that normally is a bag, a little more legal… dealt all equal…
And started to think about how this was important everywhere with all people and all professions .. but, bringing it to the diving, I think that is one of the qualities of the leader, you know give to people and make it as the bad times become opportunities.
Personally, I always said that I have never seen a situation as something bad against my person, by contrast… a problem and further unresolved, it is a sign that people are coming not knowing how to resolve, which means that we have an opportunity to learn something new and put us where is this failure…
Problems are opportunities and was exactly what that guy did, he realized that all the students have arrived, bag and somehow, what used to communicate with them more as a result, it should have achieved greater attention of the board of the school , greater attention of parents who no longer took the majority of the students ate the door, but left with that face… ie… trust my dear… to build day after day…
German applicable, a circle of friendship and not because of protection between pupils themselves…
Taking advantage, saw some movies on weekends which will help people who want to understand something about leadership.

First Job.

Ok, you start the course, you are very happy, you are crazy to get your first job, live a scuba diver life, knowing people, places, dive on the world, nothing stop you…I will be intructor and it is my duty not discourage you and I will not do this, I will not deceive you, but, I will say to you calm and keep the focus on your studies and your training, and then do you worry about where you choose will work and live. I don´t will say to you don´t dream…Dream and dream very high…The dream will keep you in the way to success, dream with your goals and keep in your mind how you will achieve, think in ways, in obstacles, how you will win the rocks on the way and thinkin your victory…But never let it take your concentration of studies. I will tell you for a personal experience…Two weeks ago I was looking for places to work in Cairns, Australia. I found fantastics places and selected many resorts to send emails.

I sending emails to all places speaking about employment.

Spent a few days, no answer… Spent More days and I got one Answer talking no vacancy. And after a while, someone answered me saying that there was no vacancy. I was half way with the way things discredited…

Then I begin note somethings:

First:

An Instructor recon if you are instructor or not.

These people are experienced, Use terminologies that are themselves of the area in which they work, Has its ways of speak and express, it is difficult deceive anyone, even by mail.

Second:

To you be instructor, you must have a registred number by PADI.

Third and must important:

You have a dive logs, hours of work(with divemaster), you must have describe your experience to the place of job, never lie, Because it can harm your career.

Fourth:

Never try to deceive anyone, or you go to the first item.

Fifth:

With all items of this list your result is:

Anyone will answer to you, you will find that there is no work and will discourage you. You will end up losing hours of study and losing the will to study to be discouraged and lose time is a bad thing, because remember: One day without doing what is necessary means another day away from your goal

So forget that run, keep calm and focus on their study in dives and you will learn all the time.

I know all it, i decided venture to know more and more about work with dive, and i lost time selecting places, send emails and etc…

Leave this to after, keep your concentration in your preparation, the best employment is result of his preparation.

Remember, learn languages, be at least fluent in Spanish and English or the language of the place where you want to work.

Begin of the Career and Short Money…

For the cultural differences and values this text is not same of the version in portuguese.
But I tried to keep the main idea, which is to stay connected to not lose money at the time of purchase of equipment.

The great problem for all divers in the world with certainty is the high price of the equipment.
Dives, equipments, all is more expansive, if you don´t find, Will spend more money.
If an equipment is used to dive, he is more expansive than the orders, for example: We have cable protector to octopus, this protectors are more expansive because are specific to dive, if the cable protector To be replaced by protectors specific to cable P.C (they are resistent too), because they are for computers, with certainty the price is lower.

Search, search and search, the prices change place to place.
If an place the product price is X, in another place the price is Y and in another is Z, search in many places after you purchase the product. Have certainty, that it is the best price.

If you have a friend living in Europe, good for you, because many equipments produced there and the price is very different…Buy and ask him to bring to you.

Visit the Amazon. www.amazon.com.
Amazon are very famous site to buy things.
The virtual store have a different and good prices.

Thats it guys, if ou have any questions please send email for me, ok ?
Thanks, bye bye…

Pursuit of the excellence…

You all know, the instructor on the true is one leadership, this is the difference of the instructor to the people.
You cant said me, as well ? The instructor know more the people, this is a difference!
His mistake, we do not know the people and if the instructor know more the people, he do not better in nothing, he only had the opportunity learning things before.
So, i speak all to you know, dive instructors must be prepared with leaders to a make the difference. I believe that if you has not a good leader preparation, may have problems with the credibility of your team and execution of tasks.
Simple?? But we have lot to learning.
Its similar to sports, on the volleyball, we have Bernardinho (i am a fan)that led Brazil to a higher positions And still does not leave his team discourage and continue win and win, more and more. We have many good coaches in the world, but only Bernardinho has for long time the hight performance of your team, the difference ?
He prepared to be leader.

Today with student, I believe the instructors must have “felling” and know how do to the student learning more and more fast, to the execution is always better. The main is, if the instructor getting move to the student a little bit of the of the profession, this student will be motivation to go ahead, looking for a better results.

A good training is read the books whites by success people…
Because everybody have a choice, make yours.

The Books:
Transformando suór em ouro (Maybe “Turning sweat into gold” in english) Bernardinho
I cant accept not tryng – Michael Jordan
Building a life – Roberto Justus

Searching more, read and Leave their oxygen tanks full of desire, willingness and goals…
