7 Tips to Overcoming Any Challenging Goal

Climbing Stairs as part of Leadership Training (Hehe no, that's not me)

If there was a challenge, and that is to climb 200 stories in an hour, would you accept it?

I was challenged, and I accepted. Not that I was confident about my fitness level, I had not been exercising for the longest time.

Somehow, I managed to convince myself that this would motivate me to actually start exercising. However, on the contradictory, nothing happened, I was 'too busy' to train. Soon after accepting the challenge, I have forgotten all about it. Even when I remembered, I had too many excuses to stop me, I just kept thinking I will prepare for the challenge tomorrow, but tomorrow never came.

Dresden

Dresden, the capital of the German federal state of Saxony used to be a beautiful historical city, however, during final months of World War 2, it suffered severe bombings leading to 75% of the city being destroyed. War destroys, I really wish for world peace and that people will stop fighting with each other. After all, with such conflicts, no one wins and we just lose touch with our history and our common humanity. 

Dresden has about ten million tourists a year, most of them from Germany. Dresden is a stop between Prague and Berlin. 

Dresden became a city in 1206 and recently celebrated its 800th birthday in 2006.

Though beautiful, most of the buildings that have been reconstructed. 

I was only in Dresden for a day trip. If you are ever there, I would highly recommend that you visit the Frauenkirche, the Church of Our Lady. The original church was completely destroyed during World War 2 and whatever you see standing now has been reconstructed.
