Roger Federer used the “s” word and “f-you” last ight to the referee, and no one made a fuss, why not?

Why is it that female tennis players can’t lose their tempers without severe penalties but male tennis players are seen as adorable if they do (McEnroe, Federer, etc)?

rafael nadal never made mistake. other players make mistakes It’s usual why? why he returns every single shot? I think It’s because his hitting style. He put so much top spin and hit the ball high and then drops fast and high. since, He hits the ball high, less chance ball blocked by the net. am I right?

How Watching Roger Federer Made Me Recommit To “kaizen”

Now I don’t know about you but I’m a bit of a tennis fan. In fact I’d actually go so far as to call myself a bit of a tennis ‘nut’. And as I watch the 2010 Australian Open from the comfort on my lounge chair this week, I am in awe of the level of fitness, skills and focus which these athletes display.

And as I watched Roger Federer obliterate his opponent the other day – which if you didn’t already know, is the number 1 player in the world – his pursuit of excellence reminded me of a Japanese word called “Kaizen.” 

The word Kaizen, is derived from the Japanese words ‘Kai’ and ‘Zen’ where ‘kai’ means change and ‘zen’ means good. Thus ‘Kaizen‘ means to commit to “constant and never-ending improvement” … something Roger Federer would be familiar with as he strives to be the best tennis player in history. 

Now even though you may not be striving to be ‘World Number 1′, if you commit to constant and never-ending improvement in your own life, you will start to notice an improvement in your health, wealth and overall happiness..

You see change is actually a good thing. It involves a level of discomfort because you are essentially stepping out of your comfort zone into unfamiliar territory. And as most people don’t like to feel ‘uncomfortable’ – many fail to move forward because they are unwilling to go through the pain that often goes with it.

They are uncomfortable in their rut, but the pain of the process of change outweighs the discomfort of where they are now.

Tony Robbins once said, “We only learn our limits by going beyond them…Kaizen is a principle designed to encourage you to make small incremental improvements daily…and in doing so, you will be forced to find a way to go beyond your current set of self-imposed limitations”.

So if you are sick of where you are right now – in both your personal and professional life – then you must begin to make small, but achievable changes and improvements in your own life – on a daily basis, in order for you to move forward..

Committing to the process of change is as vital as committing to the change itself.

So as I watched Roger Federer serve up another first class display of tennis today, I decided it was time to recommit to the daily practice of Kaizen, in every area of my life – including:

1. My health and fitness.

2. My relationships with my family and friends.

3. And in my business, personal and professional development.

So come and join me in my commitment to “constant and never-ending improvement”.

But remember, your good health is the most valuable thing that you have.

Your relationships with the people you love, and who love you will nourish your soul.

So be relentless in your pursuit of Kaizen, and have a healthy, joyful and abundant 2010.
