Doing for others 11/25/2010
I just recently found out that one of our members is unhappy with me personally so he will be leaving the ICTF. He jokingly called the ICTF of Canada, the International "Craig" Taekwon-Do Federation. He seems to feel that everything being done is by my decision and strictly for my purposes. Over the years I have been attacked by narrow minded and ignorant people on a continual basis. It simply shows the level of their character. Since if they were leading the organization they would be doing exactly what they suspect me of doing. I have found that most people who "have an issue" with someone, have that issue because they would be doing what they think the other person is doing. People who know me, know I don't often toot my own horn. But in light of this latest attack from out of no where I am going to toot. A small list of some things I have done. You decide if they were done for me or for the group at large. - obtained mats for western Canada competitions. (safety and professionalism since 2006) - acquiring mats for Ontario in March/April 2011 - obtained and maintain each year insurance for all members of the ICTF in Canada. (no small task) - applied for and was given a casino to raise funds for the group. (huge application process) - instituted a policy where by members can get free insurance. - organized and spear headed fund raising efforts for teams to travel to England and Puerto Rico. - co-ordinated fund raising efforts to send 50 members (all belt levels) to Toronto in October of 2011.($25 000) - scripted, funded, and directed the referee DVD for the ICTF to ensure consistent judging. - and many more... All the time I spent working on these projects I could have spent on my own club. I suppose some people think it is foolish to work so hard for other people. Personally I don't think so. Even when I get attacked by the uneducated I know what I have done and continue to do is right. It is the DO in Taekwon-DO. I am a martial artist, what are you? CommentsLeave a Reply |
