Salam teech and all members of counsel ABM2303B. Thank you for coming here.
First of all, about my today lesson, there are two words i can describe about our last class on Wednesday.
BIG PUSH
Why Big and Push?
Because we been trained to feel every type of main emotion out there, name it angry, sad, happy, serious, romantic, joke.
It's part of the oral communication, the main reason why employees or individual can excel well in any type of organization. It's also one of the most important criteria that employer looking for nowadays. It's BIG because it will decide our path and journey, let say if we want to to be CEO Tabung Haji or Khazanah National, one of key success to reach to top is our oral communication. Without it, you can dream it every time you want to go to sleep.
It's a BIG thing, whether you like it or not.
Second, teech PUSH all of us to discover how to show our feelings in front of audience, mainly our classmates. Angry, sad, happy, serious, romance, these type of feelings are very important in our life when we deals with people. According to teech, we need to know when the right time to express our feeling, with who, how, when and why. You will be find out that there is difference between talk to your manager and ur CEO, it's depends on characteristic individual itself. It's very important to study or know what their next reactions when ever deal anything from least important to most important matter.
In my opinion, we need to develop our characteristic, train our self, so when we go out there, in the real world, when you going to meet 1001 types of people, you know what you are going to do. This is what teech trying to do, to push us to discover, then know how to implement it. We need to PUSH our self to master our oral communication, if not, we not going to go further in any type of career, name it, manager, secretary, businessman or businesswoman, pilot, lecturer, CEO, CFO, COO.
About my personal three things that bring valuable meaning in life.
Here the list
1. My birthday card given from my dad.
2. Watch Fossil bought at London.
3. Newspaper.
I laughed to myself, why newspaper in my personal three things, and teech said to me, no wonder you don't have a girlfriend. Well, foremost, newspaper is part of my daily life. Newspaper is like a breakfast for me. I've been reading newspaper since i was small, influenced by my father that spent most of his life with newspaper, being a journo. Currently he working as Associate Editor at The Star.
My previous ambition is to be a journalist, like my father before me. Writing is one of my passion, thanks to journalist bloodline, it's make things easier than ever. But when i look at different perspective, especially for our current economy situation, being a journalist is one of the tough career especially if you stay at urban area like Petaling Jaya/Subang Jaya. I lived there, so i know things around. Everything is expensive nowadays, thanks to the weak policy management by the government. Most of the middle income group live at urban area are most affected by bad economy decision. BRIM and lot of incentives for low income group, while high income group can take care of them self but middle income suffered the most. I'm from middle income group background. I saw how my dad struggled to manage financial matter for 6 children since everything expensive nowadays. Petrol, toll fees, are one of the compulsory list when you walk out from your house to the office and when you going home. I learned that one family with income combined RM10000 live at PJ/Subang area with two young kids will be ''cukup-cukup makan'' only. I had bad experience, i went to one of the famous mamak at SS2, PJ, ordered white rice, few
kuah lauk and 5 small piece of meat cost me RM 8.90. Ais kosong RM 0.80 and 1 piece of papadom cost at RM 1 per piece.
I never imagine price at mamak can be almost same like price food or drink at kopitiam.
That is why i changed my decision from being a journalist as my ambition to businessman. But i never refuse the possibility that one day i can reverse my decision to be a journalist if our economy situation at the stable level. I also said that i can be both, as a journalist/editor and businessman at the same time.
Like adidas slogan, "Impossible is Nothing"
That's all for now. Thank you for reading my post.
