Darism: February 4th 2020

I lived with this principle:

Life Is All About Choices

M.PEER MOHAMED SARDHAR

Michael is the kind of guy you love to hate. He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say. When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, “If I were any better, I would be twins!”

He was a natural motivator. If an employee was having a bad day, Michael was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation.

Seeing this style really made me curious, so one day I went up to Michael and asked him, “I don’t get it! You can’t be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?”

Michael replied, “Each morning I wake up and say to myself, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a good mood or … you can choose to be in a bad mood. I choose to be in a good mood.”

Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or… I can choose to learn from it. I choose to learn from it.

Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or… I can point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life.

“Yeah, right, it’s not that easy,” I protested.

“Yes, it is,” Michael said.

“Life is all about choices. When you cut away all the junk, every situation is a choice. You choose how you react to situations. You choose how people affect your mood. You choose to be in a good mood or bad mood. The bottom line: It’s your choice how you live your life.”

I reflected on what Michael said. Soon hereafter, I left the Tower Industry to start my own business. We lost touch, but I often thought about him when I made a choice about life instead of reacting to it.

Several years later, I heard that Michael was involved in a serious accident, falling some 60 feet from a communications tower. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of intensive care, Michael was released from the hospital with rods placed in his back. I saw Michael about six months after the accident.

When I asked him how he was, he replied, “If I were any better, I’d be twins. Wanna see my scars?”

I declined to see his wounds, but I did ask him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place.

“The first thing that went through my mind was the well-being of my soon-to-be born daughter,” Michael replied.

“Then, as I lay on the ground, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or… I could choose to die. I chose to live.”

“Weren’t you scared? Did you lose consciousness?” I asked.

Michael continued, “… the paramedics were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the ER and I saw the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses, I got really scared. In their eyes, I read ‘he’s a dead man’. I knew I needed to take action.”

“What did you do?” I asked.

“Well, there was a big burly nurse shouting questions at me,” said Michael.

“She asked if I was allergic to anything.

‘Yes, I replied.’

The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, ‘Gravity’.”

Over their laughter, I told them, “I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead!”

MORAL OF THE STORY:

Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude. I learned from him that every day we have the choice to live fully. Attitude, after all, is everything. After all, today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.

LIFE IS ABOUT THE LITTLE CHOICES WE MAKE EVERY DAY !

Concepts to learn to employ in daily life:

· Get the “buy-ins” = agreement/support from your lower subordinates

· Making sure everyone is on the same page, on the same boat

· Being in control of all the information like in the palm of your hands

· Do not let things sleep. Do not let things hang. Do what is needed and necessary RIGHT NOW!

· Always manage expectations- avoid unpleasant surprises. Inform people what to expect in advance. Do not let them find out from other sources that is not from you.

· Attention to details

· Do not make e-mail wars. Verbal or in-person conversation gives opportunities to the counterparts to give reactions/feedbacks. Recap by writing what have been discussed, agreed or even agreed to disagree on. Request for addition/edits if something is misunderstood or not missing in the recaps

· Agree to disagree. Must always have a conclusion.

· Systematic records and feedbacks. Incidence report, coaching/counseling forms.

· Use 21^st Technology to make our lives easier. Do not do double job.

· Be a role model. Leadership by example

· Avoid burn out for yourself and others.

So Phare so good!

On a very fine day of May 2019, I was standing starstruk in front of The Paramount Theater in Boston, Massachusetts, United States of America. This is Phare’s Third USA Tours after “Khmer Metal” in 2015 and “Khmer Village in 2016”. The Paramount Theater stands tall and proud in the middle of the city center. Images of the now long-lost iconic arts venues in my native Cambodia in the golden years of the 50s and 60s came flashing in my vision. My wishful thinking was that we would bring them back to their glory. I stared at the entrance of this magnificent theater for a good 5 minutes.

A big poster in front of the theater reads:

ArtsEmerson

Come see

The World on stage

Artists from:

IRELAND FRANCE CAMBODIA

UK POLAND USA RUSSIA

I smiled from ear to ear to see my beloved, once one of the oldest civilizations, now-a small, war-torn, traumatized yet culturally rich nation, was standing equally on the same stage with some of the world’s most advanced nations. This is all thanks to our ancestors for leaving us with heritages, Identity and traditions of Cambodian arts and culture.

យើងកំពុងឈរដោយមោទនភាពនិងស្មើភាពគ្នានៅលើឆាកអន្តរជាតិ ដោយសារសិល្បៈនិងវប្បធម៌របស់យើង។

Thanks to our artists, cultural ambassadors and countless local and international partners, we are helping shape the image of our country to the outside world in a positive light.

This thought brought me to an encounter I had with a Canadian researcher that I recently met thanks to the introduction by our good friend and partner, Cambodian Living Arts. When being posed with a question: “What Cirque du Soleil means to you and other Canadians?” His eyes sparkled, he answered with a smile that: “Cirque du Soleil is our Celine Dion. They are both our Canadian pride.” Hist enthusiastic response transferred the energy to me and made me returned to him with a big smile. In the back of my head I was saying to myself: “I know that Cambodian culture and Phare artists are also my Cambodian pride, the same way he felt about Cirque du Soleil. I know that this is our competitive advantage to help us be relevant and present in global conversations.”

I then set myself on a mission to document a year in review of 2019 of Phare’s international tours to look at what Phare artists did that touched lives and hearts of hundreds of people in Cambodia and around the world. I wanted to look at where and how our cultural ambassadors are making people see us as an energetic, dynamic, youthful, peaceful and hopeful people of a nation that are reviving and revitalizing our rich cultural heritages.

In addition to more than 400 performances per year in Siem Reap’s Phare Circus iconic red bigtop and students’ performances in the school campus of Phare Ponleu Selpak in Battambang city, our artists also performed for Cambodians and audiences from around the world in private events in temples, in 5 stars hotels and at some of the most beautiful settings including, Song Saa Private Island, Sofitel Angkor Phokeethra, Phum Baitang Resort, Amansara Resort and Park Hyatt, just to name a few.

Where did Phare artists bring smiles to people’s faces this year?

We started the year with a Bang! Our newest production “White Gold” had her European Premiere with Biennale des Arts de Cirque in Marseillesin February, before continuing to FOR SUR MER – THEATRE DE FOS. We finished off the tours with TRITH SAINT LEGER. https://pharecircus.org/phare-circus-goes-to-france/

May was a busy touring month, “Sokha” went to Ansan Street Arts Festival and continued on to ASEAN Culture House in Busan and Suwon Theater Festival in The Republic of Korea.

Meanwhile “See You Yesterday” had her USA Premiere Tours in ArtsEmersons in Boston thanks to Global Arts Corps.

We are in May still, a shorter version of “Eclipse” & “Same Same But Different” performed at the Flipside festival at the Esplanade Theaters by the bay in Singapore.

It was a treat for our Aussie friends, “Eclipse” was presented in Darwin Arts Festival in Australia in August.

Our friends in Korea loved “Sokha” so much that they have invited again the performance to Gwangju Fringe Festival in October of this year.

With the success in Marseilles, “White Gold” is set to tours French National Theaters for nearly 2 months in many cities in winter next year. Watch out this space for announcements of cities and tour dates.

It has been a year full of memories and contributions by artists and partners who help make Siem Reap a destination visitors must stay longer to explore food, arts, culture, authentic experiences with our “Come for Angkor Wat but #StayLongerFor……” campaign.

Are you planning for a perfect holiday?

Come for UNESCO World Heritage for Humanity, Angkor Wat, Stay longer for Food, arts, culture and authentic Cambodian experiences.

Thanks for helping Phare inspire with amazing vibe and energy and transforming the lives of Cambodian Youth.

តើអ្នកស្គាល់ថាខ្លួនឯងជាអ្នកណាឬទេ?

តើអ្នកសប្បាយនិងរីករាយលើខ្លួនឯង និងមនុស្សជុំវិញខ្លួន ដែលអ្នករាប់អានទេ?

ជាជឿជាក់លើខ្លួនឯងគឺជាជំរើសដែលយើងអាចរើសយកវាបាន។

តើអ្នកជានរណា? អ្នកមានលក្ខណៈអ្វីខ្លះ? តើអ្នកកំពុងប្រើលក្ខណៈទាំងនោះជាប្រយោជន៍ប្រសើជូនខ្លួនអ្នកទេ?
តើអ្នកបានសាកល្បងធ្វើខ្លួនអ្នកជាសិល្បៈដ៏អស្ចារ្យមួយទេ? អ្នកគួរតែសាកល្បងមើល … វា សប្បាយណាស់ ពេលដែលយើងធ្វើវា។
