要帮就不望，要望就别帮

2011-02-13T06:10:00.001-08:00

意识是什么呢？
～很多人喜欢希望帮了朋友之后，希望朋友会“回报“，如果你真的是这样的话，那你就活得很辛苦咯。
~ 对朋友好了之后，就等人家如何回报你，结果没有。然后就到处去唱，讲人家不会做人，跟人家讲你对他/她有多么多么的好。。千万别这么做哦，因为你若这么做，那你之前对他/她的好等于“零“了。因为你会弄到他/她的对你更加反感。

所以呢，要帮就不望，要望就别帮就是说;
～帮人是应该的，只要我们能，我们就帮，所谓"助人为快乐之本"嘛。高高兴兴的伸出援手，然后算了，帮他是因为你"要帮他"，就这么简单。

Blind spot appreciation-盲点的感激

2010-11-20T15:44:00.000-08:00

刚刚读完了一个故事：梁婆婆有两位孙子，小明和小强。梁婆婆身有重病，需要孙子的照顾。小明每天不断的很细心照顾婆婆，小强每天都只顾着玩。有一天，小强忽然跑来畏婆婆吃饭，照顾婆婆。婆婆高兴到不得了，，还到处去跟邻居讲她的小强很孝顺她等等，，，听了这故事，，你知道重点在哪里吗？
An old lady has two grand son, she is very ill and sick, she needs care from the 2s. A and B. A takes care of her everday, feeding her and care her. But B only cares about his own stuff and don bother her. One day, suddenly B came and feed her and take care of her, she very very happy and even share it to all the neibours, and say her B is very good grand son. In this story, do you know where is the MAIN POINT ?? punch line ?

Who is the one we really need to remember and appreciate?
谁才是我们真正要感激的人呢？

90% of human nature often not notice the blind spot appreciation in our life, and often we tent to hurt people around us that really care and concern about us. Of course is up to us to chose who we should really appreciate and thanking, and when stuff happening, you will turn the table and say,
90%的人往往都看不到盲点的感激，通常都呼列了真正在我们身边爱与关心我们的人。当然，我们有我们的选择，谁值得我们感激，谁不，，要不然呢，，，就会说，，

"nobody is asking you to concern and care about me, you care and love me because you wanted to do it, I'm not asking it".
“谁要你来管心，我没要你的关心，是你自愿的“

wow... isn't that sound hurt and selfish? but YAH.... you can say that cause it is true and is the fact, and when one says that, we cannot blame anyone, because we can chose not to care about him/her.
啊。。。。。那听起来很痛吧，可是这都是实时也没有错。每人叫你关心她/他啊。。。所以不要怪任何人如果真的受伤了。

So, what is the thing we accidently missed out and hurt the one who cares for us?
The answer is the daily routine of someone puts in our life. Human nature is very funny, we tent to act like nothing, when someone always do the same thing in our life, either good or bad. But most people only remembers the bad things and good things are always seems nothing happen. rite ? Know why like that? it is because.....
是什么东西我们呼列了,使到真正爱我们的人伤心呢？答案就是那些每天默默不停的都在爱与关心我们的人。人类就是那么怪，大多数的人都只记得坏事，好事当理所当然，当没事。为什么这样呢？很简单。。。

" everyone is designed and created to do GOOD, when you do BAD, the BAD is something special" . . . agree?
因为我们人是被造来做”好事“的，所以当你做”坏事“呢，”坏事“变得很特别。对不对。。。

ok, back to the story's punch line,
回到故事。。。。

As we know that "A" always takes care of his grandma, but not B. But why A is not being mentioned by the grandma in fact he is the one who really loves and cares about the grandma, whereby B never even bothers about the grandma, but just do it once or twice, and that makes the grandma so happy?

some may say, because grandma lost hope on B, but when B changes his attitude, grandma feels like she has her grand son back. So that makes her so happy, whereby the A, everyone already knows that he is a good son, so needless to tell everyone and remind everyone.

YES, IN FACT IS JUST LIKE THAT, IS THAT SIMPLE?

That is the grandma's perspective, but how does A feels when he hears it? A might think, I'm the one who really cares and loves you, but why you didn't talk about me, but B just do it once, you tell everyone, and that makes everyone thought that I'm not taking care of you.

The point here is very simply.

NO ONE TO BLAME, NO FIGHTS TO FIGHT

FOR THE GIVER: everything we do, we do it with our true heart, you feel you want to care about someone, that's your chose. Do and give it without WISHING to get any feedback and return from the one we care. That will make you live happier, otherwise you will suffer. He/She won't know what you are thinking and wishing back, don't think that someone will know what you are thinking and hoping, that is just dump and stupid. No one cares and no one knows what the hack you are wishing back from them. So, just give, and go..... give and go.... and never wish for something back.

FOR THE RECEIVER: try to find out in your life, and make it clear and KNOW, who is the one who really cares and loves us, and do it none stop, every time we needed it, and always be there for us. These are the people we normally put a side, and never mention, because they are the person who already accepted us in their life, so is mission complete. Most of us we focus on those that haven't accepted us in their life, but when one day he/she suddenly FRIEND and TALKS to you, you feel so happy that they finally ACCEPTED you,,,weeeee,,,,so you become over joy and happy, and you spread the news of how good he/she is in your life, how he/she spends time with you... and so on...

YOU ARE NOT DOING WRONG, NOT AT ALL. NOT EVEN ONE PERCENT YOU ARE DOING WRONG, YOU ARE FREE AND IS YOUR RIGHT TO SHARE WHAT IS HAPPENING IN YOUR LIFE, AND I MEAN IT.

But this is the NOT WRONG situation that we hurt those who everyday none stopping CARE and LOVED us. Give you another example, do you thank your papa mama everyday? NOOOOO.............do you thank your friend that just takes care of you for ONLY one time or two in your life? YEEESSSSSS.......... why like that? hard to explain....

hope you make your blind spot clear and make it a NOTE in your life. Appreciate those who never gives up on us, know that who is the one in our life.

" handle & know the nature of you, but not being handled by your nature "

with that, maybe we cheer up someone's life . . .by no means.

活到老，学到老。Live until old, learn until old ^^

你当人是宝,人当你是草

2010-09-22T01:15:00.000-07:00

这句话是多么的有道理, 古时代的人真的是没有乱乱说话的.

有一个故事跟你们分享,某某人有一班的朋友, 里面有男有女,他家都是要好,谈得来的朋友.一起补习,一起上学等等....

有一天,某某人看见了其中一位朋友的男朋友,既然用摩托车载着别的女孩子,还抱到紧紧的....看起来好像不像普通朋友,,,在这样的情况下,,,,因该如何呢?

某某人就很笨的赶紧告诉那位女朋友,然后那女的既然和某某人谈起了关于那个男的,还故意装成很站在某某人的那边,一起讲了少许那男的坏话.某某人笨到以为那女的会相信他所看到的情景然后会去跟那位男的问清楚...

过了几天,补习的时候,那女还是一样的跟那男的很好,抱来抱去的.大家看了都很烦,,,更糟糕的是,那女的既然不和我们讲话了,然后还跟那男的讲某某人对他的意见,弄到那男的恨死了某某人,,,,故事就这样...

这故事告诉我们呢,有些"对" 的事情呢,,,,,对有些人叻,,是"错" 的.不是没一样事情都会和我们想象的那么完美..也不是每一个朋友是朋友的.95% 的朋友都是参了就算了,其他5% 就看你的运气了,,, 看你有没有运气认识到真正的朋友咯...

往往没事情发生的时候,,你兄我弟,你姐我妹... 当事情来的时候呢,真正的样子就跑出来了.更糟的是那种会害人,伤害人和骗人的"朋友"...如果身边真的有这样的人出现,那就认命咯,,,,算你倒霉咯.最重要的是,我们不要像他们那样就好了.

小弟身边此时就有了很多"假冒伪善" 的所谓"朋友"。。不要乱乱想哦，，，如果在你心里，你真的当小弟是朋友的话，，，那就不是你咯。ok ^^

但是，真的要谢谢这样的人在我身边的出现，因为他们这样的性格和心态来对待我，我成长了。。。。谢谢。

“问题” a.k.a problemo

2010-05-21T22:57:00.000-07:00

“问题” a.k.a problemo

什么是问题？为什么问题？为何要有问题？
很多时候我们会怨卷我们的生活，会埋怨，会伤心，会低弱，会放弃我们的生活，甚至有的笨到自杀！好。。。如果你时常有这样的感觉呢，那我试一下跟你分享我个人对“问题”的看法和有所明白。Based on personal experience. Ok. :)

其实呢，当你第一天被生下来的时候呢，问题就开始来了。因为世界就是问题，人生每天都在发生和面对问题。而是不停的在有问题，对不对。。。

那为什么要有“问题”这个东西呢？好。。那我问你，，如果有一天，你想要 “ONLINE”，当你开电脑的时候，电脑没有动静，，，，，你在怎么按Power Button 都没有灯或动静。。这时候，“问题”就产生啦。。。你不知如何是好，然后你就打电话给“EAA STEVEN”叫他来你家帮你check 你的电脑。。。。叮当，，，叮当，，，他来了，你就带他去你房间，然后她就开始check 你的电脑。可是呢，当他check 你的电脑时，你不在旁边看，你却跑去泡咖啡给她喝。当你回来的时候，他把你电脑弄好了。好啦，，问题解决了。

过了两天，问题又来了。。。电脑又不能开，，，请问一下，同样的问题再发生，你会自己解决吗这一次。。？会不会？我想不会吧。。为什么呢？因为那天STEVEN帮你弄的时候你没有看，你没有学，你没有学习如何解决这个问题，你没有进步，你没有突破。你只是避免问题，不要管它，所以呢这个问题对你来讲呢，，，，，它还是永远存在的因为你本人没有自己去解决它。

好啦，讲了一个无聊的故事，希望你明白。不明白不要紧，我在解释一下“问题”吧。
“问题”的出现不是一个坏事，当然问题有分很多种，比如有一些好像“死“啊。。。bla blab la… 不讲那些，，，我要讲的是我们日常生活所面对的一些常有的大小问题。。什么问题呢，很多，凡是对你，你觉得让你不高兴，不愉快的，，那就是它了。Ok 
你面对问题是因为在那个时候的你要“成长”，“突破”，“进步”，“学习”了。不好吗？？？？？请问一下，如果你不面对问题，你如何进步呢？你如何学习成长呢？就是要因为有问题出现，你才会知道你原来有那么多东西是不懂的。对不对。。？然后你才去面对，克服它。当你成功各服了现在这个问题，以后它在来，它对你已经不再是问题了。对不对。。

我们人生不可以没有问题，为什么呢？因为如果有一天，你发觉你很久没有问题，你很安全，你已经享受在你的安全区很久了，然后你就觉得很满意，很高兴。那我现在告诉你，最好不要哦，记得我听过一个专家说，

” When a person stays in his/her SAFETY ZONE for too long, which mean that particular person has stopped improving in his/her life”
seminar – Born Rich

“勿停安全区，此为阻进步“

所以，当你忽然觉得很久没有事情发生或问题出现时，你要检讨一下咯。你是否已经没有进步很久了。。其实讲到最后还是要看你如何看待问题的出现，要把事情看得乐观一点，看开一点。把问题看在负面是对你没有用的，比如说，电脑坏了你就坐在一旁哭，然后逼自己吃辣椒，用刀割手脉，，，，有用吗？如果你这样做，然后电脑会自然好起来，那我鼓励你。如果每一次有问题你就吃辣椒，割手脉，然后问题就会自然解决呢。。。。那我鼓励及同一你的做法。可是事实不是那样，事实就是，有问题就要去解决，去各服。而不是在那边要生要死的。
我们的人生，生命是你的，要懂得如何去面对。我们不可以让周围或问题来控制我们，而是我们要会如何去控制周围或问题的出现。

“ We must not be controlled by the situations and problems that are surrounding us, but in fact we should be controlling the situations and problems”

无谓的胜利

2010-04-09T17:53:00.001-07:00

我们人生当然要胜利，做每一样事情都要胜利，这是一个很好的习惯。当然人生也要有尊严，没有尊严就会被看不起或自卑。但是，如果夺取胜利在不对的方式或对象，那就危险咯。比如，当你和你所爱的人吵架，或着他/她在那边无理取闹的时候，你就要开始冷静而不是跟他/她对抗和争吵下去。为什么呢？是不是叫你怕他/她？是不是叫你认输吗？不不不。。。每当和你的爱人有“过两招”的事后，要记住，就让她阿，就让你的爱人“先”赢吧。为什么呢？很简单，就因为她是你所爱的人咯。你为什么要从你爱人那里夺取胜利呢？赢了你又得到什么呢？争吵到天翻地覆，要死要命得到这样的胜利。。。。试问一下，，，有用吗？这样的情况下，你做了许许多多的解释和讲道理，你觉得你的爱人会听进去吗？我不完全排除它的可能性，但是机会非常小。。。
好，换另一个角色。如果你的爱人发疯了，在那里和你吵，但是你不奉陪，不跟他/她吵。但是你“一定要乖乖听他/她讲”这很重要，因为当一个人有心事，不高兴，一定要让她讲出来，发泄发泄一下，要不然他/她的火是不会灭的。另一方面如果你听她讲，你才会董得如何去安慰他/她，听她讲，你才会董得如何面对以及帮助她绝决问题。你是她所谓的爱人阿，，，他/她有心事，第一个就一定是要想跟你分享，如果你是他/她的爱人，但什么是都不想和你分享，不跟你讨论，那你是多么的失败阿。。。这样的感情可能不健康咯。。要check check 一下了。好啦，想一下，为什么她要跟你讲呢？就是要找到安慰啊，和鼓励。因为你是他所爱的人，他相信你能帮助他啊。。但是如果每一次跟你讲就吵架，久了就变成大问题了。
所以呢，每当有争吵的时候，你要冷静，先让她赢，但不要笨笨的让，而是你要有所打算的。就是当他/她冷静下来了，才找机会跟他解释。当然，这就要看你的耐性咯，因为这个机会可能会拿你几天，礼拜甚至月。当然，有的人没有这个耐性那怎么办呢？很简单，为了你所爱的人儿改变，放下自己来对待你爱的人。。。记住吗，所谓的“牺牲小我，成全大我”。。就因为你放下你的自尊，放下自己，你让你们的爱情有个美好和健康的旅程，不好吗。。？我问你，，你这样做，，，你“在你的爱人面前”你失去了什么？？？没有什么，，反而你很成熟的在处理你们的感情。
好啦，说了那么多，希望你能明白我的意思。。。所谓，两颗快要爆炸的炸弹事不能在一起的，它会爆的更加厉害。。自己想一下吧。。这只是个人意见分享。。决无案射任何人，读了觉得有意思，可以试用吧，觉得无聊的，就。。。对不起咯。 

利用价值

2010-03-26T17:07:00.000-07:00

当你还有利用价值的时候,你是他/她所谓的 - "朋友". 当你已经没有利用价值了,你是他/她所谓的 - "喷友". 当你还有利用价值的时候,你是他/她所谓的 - "知己". 当你已经没有利用价值了,你是他/她所谓的 - "吃自己". 当你还有利用价值的时候,你是他/她所谓的 - "爱人". 当你已经没有利用价值了,你是他/她所谓的 - "哀人". 当你还有利用价值的时候,你是他/她所谓的 - "大人". 当你已经没有利用价值了,你是他/她所谓的 - "傻人". 当你还有利用价值的时候,你是他/她所谓的 - "老师". 当你已经没有利用价值了,你是他/她所谓的 - "老猪" 不要怪他/她,也不要恨他/她,反而要可怜他/她.因为他/她连最简单的人生道理都不懂.

往往在我们身边会有这样的朋友出现,有时候甚至被骗,被利用,被出卖,被害.. .什么样的都有.有一些会在你的面前和你说他人的坏话,但之后他又跑去和他人说你的坏话.然后跟他人说你讲他的坏话,弄到你和他人翻了脸.然后她在那边自爽...^_^...

有的朋友呢,你会以为他和你很好,所以你就毫无犹豫的跟她说了很多你个人对某人的意见.当然每个人都有个人的意见,个人意见是不必给人交待的,但是一旦个人意见被某人知道的话,就有麻烦了.然后呢,你就和你的朋友分享,哪里知道你所谓的朋友跑去告诉某人你对某人的意见.. .完蛋啦.. .所以呢,以后还是.. .最好是谁都不要相信..不要做笨蛋的白痴..做好自己就好,其他的就不必多说了.有时候你为某人好,反回来你还会变臭人.. .算了吧.. . .

Dissatisfaction = Encouragement

2009-09-30T20:28:00.000-07:00

Sometimes in life, we face discouragement or dissatisfaction from senior, lecturer, colleagues, friends and most importantly, our BOSS. Sometimes we put a high hope on completing some task and hoping or ensured that we will get a better praise or encouragement from someone, but it turns out to be fatal. We were not praise or receiving better compliment but being discouraged and put down. That makes us really sad and discourage.

Now, in this kind of situation, we can break down to several parts in terms of understanding the problem or situation.

Unlikely and foolish act
What is actually happens?
What should you be doing then?

How should we be reacting to this situation when your lecturer, senior, boss or friend tells you that you are not doing really good enough or dissatisfy with your work?

Unlikely and foolish act

Some people tent to being influenced by this situation and act according to the feeling. They tent to give up and behave foolish such as giving up everything and show ignorance in their attitude. They think negatively and go around and talk bad things about those who rejected him/her.

Now, by doing this it doesn’t make someone become better, because the more you talk and think negatively the more you will become worse and more influence by this feeling. At the end you give up everything and keep on saying and thinking

“ WHY SHOULD I BE BETTER, NO MATTER HOW I DO, THEY WILL STILL SAY I’M BAD, BE IT LAH…… BAD THEN BAD LAH . . . WHO CARES . . .. “

Then you tent to brain washed yourself, until everything that the person does is BAD to you, then you hate that person more and more until it has no space to cure.

Why am I saying this is a false reaction, because you are a TRUE loser. Imagine, when your lecturer reject your work or disagree with your performance which mean you are a loser or failure right from the first place, rite? Then you act ignorance and act childish by giving up everything, act not naughty or “SAMSENG”. That makes you 2^nd time loser, rite? Then you fail your subject or getting low marks, 3^rd time loser. Then you at end you get poor result in your report card, 4^th time loser and at the end when you go to work, your employee rejects you because of your poor result, that makes you the 5^th and the biggest loser in your life and career.

So think for yourself, by acting foolishly, what do you gain from that? Just because your lecturer rejects you or disagrees with you few times, you behave like GANGSTER and give up everything. Now, let me tell you, NO ONE will look at the side and the REAL meaning inside you that makes you want to behave like this. NO ONE knows your actual and details of WHY YOU BECOME LIKE THIS, or GIVE UP YOUR WORK. NO……………if you think that acting like this will make people aware of you and pity you, then you are 10000000% wrong. To your personal friends, MAYBE ok, because you have more time to spend with them and share with them, maybe they’ll know the details why you behave ignorance. But to lecturer or boss, they don’t and never ever will look at that part. WHY? Here it goes…….

For professionals, when you don’t do your job means you don’t do your job. That’s it, PLEASE avoid this from happening again and do it better in the future. That’s it, nothing more. This is lecturers and bosses’ concept, unless you produce MC or a very valid reason to prove that why you cannot complete your job, then could be excused. Otherwise, you are being seen as an incapable student. So, you already being claimed as an incapable student, YET you show your lecturer that he/she is right because you give up your work and behave foolishly. So what will the lecturer think of you more? You’re childish, say you few words you act like this, give up. .

“WHEN YOU GIVE UP YOURSELF, PEOPLE GIVE UP YOU”

So please think for yourself, is it correct to act according to the feeling which is discouragement.

What is actually happens?

Nothing is happening, is just that your lecturer/boss thinks that you could do better, that’s why you are being rejected. Lecturer /boss tent to see things that you could not see, they know what you can do more and what you are able to produce. They know this is not your level and they want more from you, that’s why they reject you NOW. Wanting you to do better in your work is for your OWN GOOD, right. Think of it, why does someone want you to do better in your work? They could just ignore you and approve everything, even though they see that your work is sucks, they can just say OK to you, if that makes you happy and if that’s what you want….but is it what you want? Or you want to do better?

And think of it, why we have to show our sketches or ideas to lecturer/boss before we proceed to final? Because you want to make it better that’s why you show it to someone who knows more than you, right? If not you can just finish your work and submit, but why you feel being let down or discourage when you are being rejected? Can’t you accept critics or comment on your work? Wow,,, so HIGH level ah,,,,cannot take critics from lecturer/boss? Then you live in your own world whereby no one rejects you. Think of it . .!

Sometimes you could be rejected 3 to 4 times, sometimes until the lecturer/boss give up and just tells you what to do. Of course this is other topic, we’re not into this now. The point is, when lecturer/boss rejects you, is because they know you can do better than THIS, that’s it. Of course there are rare cases that CHEAP lecturer/boss tent to go against a particular student, that is personal problem and stupid lah..im not going to talk about that here.

What should you be doing then ?

Very simple, disagree it and always prove that HIS statement is wrong. Prove that you are a person who is capable and motivated, hardworking and successful.

Imagine, you want to leave this place that leaving your lecturer/boss still thinking that you are a useless person? Of course you might say, , , “ there are things that can’t be explain, let him think who I am, is his brain “ NO…no..no…..wrong wrong wrong. Never think of this if you haven’t even tried to make him wrong, without even giving you a chance to improve you already agree with HIM, then you are wrong.

It depends on WHO is putting the statement on you, YOU should know it for yourself. Who is able to guide you and teach you,, who is not able,,I believe you yourself should know. Now the biggest mistake you do is when you are letting the person whom you know can teach and guide you to think that you are useless, that’s the mistake you ever do. If you prefer to ignore it, then you are surely useless.

Never let people claim that you are useless, neither professionals nor person whom you think is useless. Imagine, if someone you think is USELESS claims that you are useless, and you never prove to him to shut his mouth up, then let me ask you, who you are then? You are a person who is CLAIMED useless by a useless person. J wow.. .

NOW, this is what you should do, when your lecturer/boss think that you are useless, then you should do it better next time, if the next time still not ok,,,then do it better again, until ONE DAY,,,they say.. you are GREAT, you prove that you can do it. GOOD. How about that statement ??? great right ? no matter who is saying, the point is, IN YOUR LIFE, we always show that we CAN. Specially to those who we KNOW we should pay our respect ON.

I know this feeling, because I faced it before, and it is really not comfortable, and it took me 1 year to prove it, until ONE day I heard “ YOU PROVED IT TO ME THAT YOU CAN “ I tell you, this feeling is really indescribable.

So remember, every time when you are rejected from your work, don’t feel discourage, just tell him in your heart, ONE DAY I WILL MAKE YOU SAY “ wow . . . you’re good “

Personal talk : to those student whom I’ve ever said “ GOOD “ or disbelieve that this work is actually produce by you…remember? Recall…recall…. If I’ve ever done this to you, then I tell you now,,,, that is the moment I feel you IMPROVED and you’ve showed to me YOU CAN. . ok.

NOTE** - be sure that everytime you know why and what's the reason the particular lecturer/boss rejects your work. THIS IS THE most important thing to know, but not being rejected without knowing why. MUST ask,,,,what happen and why he rejects it.

- There is some cheap lecturer that really does reject student without reason or maybe just because him/herself doesn't like the particular student. In that case, i can only say " ACCEPT your LIFE " . " 认命" .you are unfortunately being thought by cheap lecturer.

Hope this helps you.

Free to ask anything if you wish.

Presentation

2009-09-18T21:12:00.000-07:00

What is presentation ?

"Presentation is the practice of showing and explaining the content of a topic to an audience or learner"
by Wikipedia

Presentation is a method to transfer your ideas or concepts, or maybe things that you want to share and explain to your audience or listener. It is also a way to to make you become a more confident being to be.
As a designer, we don't only design and sell products, but we have to sell it through our skills as well as our verbal and dialog skills. Learn how to talk and sell our own product while we have chance to present our design.
How to make your product more interesting through presentation? there are few ways that we should underline it.

1.) While presenting your artwork, you are not only go for the points and explain tell why this and this,,,this is this, and that's it. if you do that, then you are making your presentation boring. One of the most important mark during presentation is your FLOW or presenting it, and that is ;

Your introduction - (short and brief ) The sample or example of the very same product that you are presenting now. Give your audience an idea and remind them of what is existing now in relating to the same product that you are about to recommend them.
Your content - idea - concept - ( explain your concepts and ideas ) Your concept and idea should something which they never thing or even thought of. Something NEW to them, and surprise them. Something logical and make sense, and they would agree.
Comparison - ( Compare your design/ideas to the existing design/ideas ) The meaning of compare here is not asking you to lowered others' product/design, but is more like giving your audience the idea or remind them of what they knwo,,,,,,is actually so shallow. Then now i show you what is REAL design, and of course that's your design that you are about to sell to him.
Conclusion - (short conclusion to give your audience an ending ) Make a conclusion the end your presentation but not just leave your audience pending and hanging. The worse situation is when you are ending it but they are still waiting for the hi peak. Never let that happen in your presentation.

Now, having said all that, of course you have to practice and have confident. YOU must do all the above with full confident and through practice. Now, why we need practice ?

Practice - it is because some of us find it difficult to explain and present in English. Specially to those chinese educated, you may be scoring an Ace in your SPM in English subject but that doesn't mean you are good in English conversation. That's one of the biggest problem to face. That's why we need to practice, PRACTICE the FLOW of the presentation.
Do not be Bombastic - Try to be yourself and speak correct English. Try to be yourself means speak and talk in your own ability in using English, do not try to SLANG or BE LIKE American to turn and twist your tongue or even create a BOMBASTIC sentences. WHY? it is because you need to FULLY focus on your presentation furthermore is in English, and that's more than enough to make your mind to control and focus on these basic things. YET you put in more worries and focus point on BOMBASTIC sentences and SLANG English speaking. Can you see? it makes you so busy in your mind while you are about to present, so,,without noticing it,, it will make you freak out and out of focus, clear your mind, black out, blank, no ideas, all the ideas gone, and even present halfway, you stop and lost of ideas and speech.
Relax - How to relax ? simple, do your practice and know what you are doing in your design. otherwise, you won't be relaxed. That's why practice and preparation is very important.

Why are we scare to do something ? why scare? it is just because we don't have confident in what we are about to do or share. In terms of lost confident? lack of practice and lack of understanding on the objectives.

Here's the deal, if you don't do your practice and be lazy, then I tell you NOW. You won't overcome this problem in presentation, it will always be with you. WHY ? because you are not solving it and not willing to improve and grow. So, if you don't mind you cannot talk and present your artwork in the future, then choose your own choice. Be what you are now and that is, always no confident while standing infront to talk to many people.

YOU WANT TO BE THAT ? WHAT DO YOU THINK ? ~_-

Hope these points help you, still don't understand then we talk about it when we meet.

Jealousy

What happens when your friend suddenly not going well with you, or maybe ignore you. After sometimes, you find out from some other friends that he/she's actually jealous about you. Why? no one knows, but it's seems sudden.

If this stuff happens in your life, then I want to congratulates you first before I continue the rest. Why am I congratulating you? it is because you've done something successful in your life whereby SOMEONE could not do it or achieve. It is because you are way much better and successful then him/her, therefore she jealous you or doesn't like you anymore.

Let's think it this way, why the hell does he/she jealous you out of a sudden? why,,,,everything that happens around us, there must be a starting point or reason. rite. . . unless you are talking about CRAZY and useless people, there are the one without reason of doing something,,,, ignore them...they are not in the topic...

ok....so he/she hates you or jealous you,,,because you are better than him/her. He/She couldn't get what you have, but he/she wants it. . . therefore, she chooses to hate and jealous you,,,and that makes him/her happier... ok,,,well since you feel happier in this situation,,,then go ahead...rite.

Conclusion, this kind of friendship......who cares... it really doesn't matter either you have or do not have a relationship with this TYPE of people, cos they are boring and useless. and senseless and un-educated. The are not a professional, by rite,,,, if you see your friend is much better than you.,,,,then you should fight him,,,, or follow his/her foot step. try to be like him/her or better than him/her. But not just sit back and testify that you are a looser to him/her.

Make him jealous you in other way round, that means you are a successful ones than him/her...rite..... of cos we don't hope our friend to jealous us lah........ :)

anyway,,,,remember. When someone jealous you,,, don't forget.... remember... look around yourself and think.... and know that you have done something successful whereby someone couldn't do it.

" YOU ARE SUCCESSFUL THAN THEM, THEREFORE THEY JEALOUS YOU"

Do you worry about your Future and Career?

Do you worry about your Future and Career?

worry about the course you are studying now is useless in the future? or your
friends told you study art and design would bring you to a better and brighter
future? your cousin or uncle told you, study graphic design or interior design
(Beh tan Chiak) ? which means cannot find money? or your parent told you, you
must study this and that,,but not art and design " becos i dont like it
"

Back in 1993, i remembered when i was still in Form 3 in Sekolah Menengah
Kebangsaan Bukit Mertajam,

Penang

. that was a
time i suddenly thought of my future, cos as you know,,later form 3 or shall i
say after PMR, we are forced to select either you want to go for Sains class or
art class or account ..rite... then i thought to myself, since i love to draw
then i should go for art stream, but then later on after i finished my PMR and
got the result (though was suck)... but i still managed to join Science, becos
i was thinking science scope is bigger, and of cos ,,that doesnt do any harm either
you are taking wat during your secondary school...cos the MAIN point is,,,are
you doing your best,,, if you are doing your best,,no matter what stream you
are,,,you are SOMETHING different in there. thats wat i believe. we always do
our best...ok,,,that was the intro of my life path.

Why that, cos before that, many people told me,,, if you take Science, you need
to study double, and it's not a focus subject, unlike account or sastera or
wat, and you like art, you should go to art,,bla bla bla,,,all kinds of
opinions and ideas,,, " too much cook, spoil the soup" .. for my own
principle, i do wat i feel i want to do, no body can influence me, without
influenced by their opinion, of cos I do take people’s advice for
consideration. So without thinking further, i strait signed into science and
finished it.

But later on I think of am I going to be something like
scientist of wat, does it influence me if I am to study in a graphic college?
After thinking of so much, I still do my best in my form 4 and 5 of cos I took
extra subject in Lukisan lah…., after I got my SPM result, I came to Equator
Academy or Art.

So in 1996 April, I joined EAA, and before that, many people
told me,,,study Graphic design ahh,,,, you die la,,, no future la,,,wat wat
la,,, cannot earn money la,,one month salary not enough to buy food for your
fish la,,dog la,,,like tat…wah,,,so teruk meh… but frankly tell you, though I
heard so many negative feed back, but I still focus on wat I want to do and
study. Still focus on my GOLE, and go for it.

When I came to 1998 July, it was my 3rd year in
EAA, and that time I was rushing my final project ade, and again I thought of,
HOW AH,,now almost finish study liao, don know can find job boh,,,, then still decide not to think too much as I
believe GOD will make a way. Then really when I started my 3rd year
first term, a lecturer came to me and asked me if I want to work part time for a graphic design agency. To me,
it was something really new and tough, cos I need to work at the same time, I
need to rush my final.. as an opportunity, I grab this chance and willing to go
for an interview, who knows, the boss strait accept me, without interview,
so I guess it was kind of lucky and also
a new task in my life.

So, I started to work part time and at the same time, im
building my skills and my knowledge on graphic design, and after sometimes, I
gain lots of knowledge during the work. And it’s the same word, I DO MY BEST
even in the job, and boss somehow noticed my ability, and asked me to come to
work with them as a full timer after I finish my study……VUALAH………here it is, I
got my job even before I was graduated.

I finished my diploma in 1999 April and strait work as a
full time graphic designer in the agency. Actually join the agency in 1998
july, I spent a year plus plus there and learnt lots of thing.

OK, after the long old story, the point is,

1.) Do
the best in any course you are studying in now, don listen to wat people say
but believe in yourself and your own ability. If you are doing your best in the
specific situation, sure you will be outstanding, and those outstanding always
would be the one with a better future and career. Imagine, if you are a boss,
will you employ a worker with full of C or D in his/her cert? NO of cos, but
you would prefer to employ a TOP student rite. So as the reality. Do your best
in where you are, that’s the most important ones.

2.) Focus
on what you are doing and be serious on it, know what you are doing everytime,
but not doing it foolishly and blindly. Without objectives and aims, then
that’s really stupid. Always ask and seek for advice and learn from seniors or
others… this is how we learn, be humble to learn, learning is not a waste,,, if
you are to learn something on THAT DAY,,,,even a worse person would make an
impact in your life on that day, you might found out you learn something from
the worse person on that day.

3.) Just
remember one thing, your career starts now, and it begins NOW, if you plan to
work hard on your 3rd year, and let it sucks for the 1st
and 2nd year, then you are GONE ! so if you have that kind of
thinking, then stop it, cos you need to work REALLY hard from now, REALLY HARD
you know. Cos all the result you get during your 1st year will be
accumulated with your 2nd and 3rd year result. So if you
got more than 70% sucks result,,then will end up getting a poor diploma.

4.) You
want to play, yes,,there is lots of time to play, is just the matter how you
manage your time.

5.) Im
not trying to scare you here, but remember, now is 2008 ,,, education is very
important, GOV sector, NO chance for you ya…., don even think about it. So wat
we do, we can only work amongst the private sector, what happen if you are
USELESS to private sector, which mean you got no where to go, then why you
waste your time 3 years here? You learn nothing yet useless to the world. Think
and plan for yourself. If you think im joking and talking nonsense, then good
luck to you.

Conclusion, no matter what course you studying now, is all
the same, you can study doctor or lawyer, what happen if you got very bad
result, the conclusion is,,,you are still useless and jobless. It’s the same as
you study art and design, if you got poor result, the same ending. So, one
thing to remember .. . . do your best in which ever area you are.
That’s the most important one. God will do his part if you have done your part .

Cannot manage your timeline? cannot focus on your work?

2009-01-15T10:22:00.001-08:00

I was having some chat with an old fren, and then we came across the topic of time management and work time line. hmm.... not bad ye...this is a common problem faced by MOST of the people i guess.. except those exceptional ones :)

Ok, the summary is, everyday or everytime we know we have work to do, and some are really important task that has to be finished earlier, some we are assigned with dateline. but either way, is the better to finish things as soon as possible but never wait till last minutes, but of cos sometimes reality might just drag you from reaching the goal fast.

What ever it is, everything comes back to your own attitude, your own disciple and self management. This is your life, if you cannot handle and control it, then no one could. think about it :)

having said that, actually it is not that hard to tackle these kind of problem if only you ALLOW yourself to handle it for yourself. and it's very simple, again! it's upon yourself, if you cannot do it, don't blame other people but look at the mirror and ask yourself. :)

1.) human nature ! majority are the same when it comes to work. specially people like US nowadays, we have full of entertainments and hi tech gadgets at home. we don have to go outside to look for fun and entertainment, but just by sitting infront of your computer, you can spend the whole day there..... am i rite :)

Just think about it, have you ever come across that everytime when you want to start to do your work, and at first you are so full of WILL and CONFIDENT that you will complete your work NOW and THEN,,,then you walk to your computer and switch on it, after you enter to windows, you see the MSN icon or some are AUTO sign in, and then " Teng Deng " your fren Nudge you or greet you " hi " ... :)

OK, now,,,, your spirit of completing your TASK begins NOW, if you reply " sorry busy " and LOG OFF, then you are able to continue with wat you first plan = Finish your project now......

ok,,,,if you reply him/her " hi,,,how are you today " then she will reply you again,,,and then ....then...then.... then thats the end of your PLAN . . why i say that,

according to survey and experience, 80% of human nature is, we tent to adapt on situation very quickly, which mean, your WILL power goes according to what you first do when your WILL is still on FIRE. Once the fire burns and you start to do your project or assignment, then you will continue to do it until after 4 or 5 hours non stop. NOW..... on the other way, if you start by CHATING or Playing GAMEs, then your WILL or FIRE will burn at the CHATING or GAME way,,,,so you will end up playing games or chating....

and this is very dangerous, you will sure CHEAT yourself by saying, i am doing work at the same time,,,,just REPLYING my fren in MSN. NO..don't think tat way, you are just cheating yourself, you are not just REPLYING but you are actually wasting your time in chatting.

Talk about gamers, it's the same way. When you first come to your computer, you are still on FIRE to do your work, then you tell yourself,,, " let me relax by just playing a round of GAME" , then here goes your WILL of work,,,is on playing GAME. sometimes,,,, "YES " you really play one round and you switch to project. Believe me, your WILL is not as good as IF you start do your work from the beginning. let's you have 100% will power, after one round of game,,it will decrease to 60% or 50%,,, then this 50% to 60% will decrease very fast and then to 0%...then you end up tired and think lots of excusses to yourself by saying,,, " i still left 1 hour only, i'll do my project tomolo lah " or " you will ignore the project and go wondering around "

why like this, HUMAN nature, let's start from the beginning.
when you first came to your computer, if you strait to your project which means your brain is still fresh and you are still on FIRE, then the fire will keep on burn on the path way of completing project,,,and you won't think of game or msn... your body and mind will automatically focus on project,,and you wont feel tired,,,cos your train your mind from the beginning.

then if you play games of chatting first,,then your mind and brain is told to having fun and relax,,,cos chatting and gaming is FUN and Relax.,,so you see... you tell your brain to relax and fun at the beginning when HE is still fresh and on FIRE of waiting for you to order him wat to do,,,so since you ask HIM to play game first,,,,so very fast,,,he tells your body to relax and fun. Then you end up do project less.

Believe me, try to clock and calculate your total working hour, lets say you spend 5 hours in front of your computer with all the chatting software on, and you are chatting with fren and together you are doing work. if you can... let's calculate your total working hour, im sure you chat more than your work. let's say 3 hours chatting and 1 hour work, 1 hour browsing around internet for research and for nothing.

So, how to tackle and avoid these problems from occur? simple, like i said, strait to the point and disconnect yourself from all the Messenger or GAMEs. Sure you can complete your work well and smooth. TRY

Also, remember, of cos you are allow to play and fun, specially those who loves to play games. then set your time, when to work,,when to play game.

I told this many times to fren, and i will say again now,,,,cos is really effective, and not much people are using this method, cos they think im crazy and stupid. :) well it's ok.

The technique is,

Everyday, PUNISH yourself to do project/assignment in 2 hours times, if you can go more, then 3 or 4. When i was taking my degree course, i gave myself everyday 4 hours to do my project and assignments. During this 4 hours, im totally disconnected, but just focus on project. until i totally complete all subjects, if cannot finish but already 4 hours, i will stop. TOTALLY stop, and never think of project on that day, cos my mission is complete, and my promise to myself is complete,,,soo i enjoy the rest of my time through out the whole day. Then will do the same thing again tomolo, on SUNDAY,,,im totally OFF...no project or assignemtn in my mind,,then i can enjoy my Kuala Lumpur shopping with my good fren Syahman Othman :)

Believe me, 2 to 4 hours, FULLY focus on your project, just produce what ever you can,,,such as print outs research, reading, research, sketch, conceptual sketchs, what ever you can ..as long as it is for project use. I tell you,,,,more than enough to complete all you want for the project. yet you have a very good and complete Journal to submit. TRY...

ok... talk more later, need to go class :)

Do GOOD things,don't remember, do BAD things, remember for life !

2009-01-15T10:11:00.000-08:00

In our life, i guess each and everyone of us has gone through this concept or come across this thinking whereby we always think of, why HUMAN nature is just as boring as this. When you do good to someone, it does not count for any credits, but if you do BAD he will remember it for once. You got my point?
Sometimes we might hear it from your friends and even family members. Do 10 times good, they don't appreciate, but remember all the time the mistakes i did last time, always bring it back during quarrel. Either you come across these or not, i leave that to you.
Ok, let's share this out and you think the rest.
In human nature, NO ONE is borned to do BAD things, rite. Everyone is assigned or expected to do GOOD things. Having said that, automatically doing good things is just as normal as drinking water in our daily life. It has become nothing to human, though you are doing good things. Doing good things is not highlited in our life. Unless stuff that is really very very good, then people will remember it. But not really as remember as rememebr bad things.
Ok, since everyone is doing good, like i said is nothing to human. So ,,, if you do ONE single BAD thing then the BAD thing is highlited. Thats why everybody remembers what you've done wrong, because it has become something very diffrerent from NORMAL,,and that is doing GOOD. you get the point?
If everyone is doing BAD, then you try to do GOOD, then people will always remember your GOOD things. And the BAD things has become normal,,no one will remember it. Like some of the boss or company, they always trying to do bad things to others, and YOU try to stand up and fight for the RIGHT things, therefore you are wrong. Get the point !!
A group of people always think and plan bad things to others, for them ! doing bad things are GOOD. So if you stupidly trying to fight for the RIGHT things, therefore ,,, all of them hate you,,and you become wrong,,instead. what a shame....these people doen't know what is rite and what is wrong. :)
Sometimes is so sad to have these kind of people around us, and no matter how you try to safe and help them,,they just keep on think of nagetive stuff and think that you try to go against them, and never accept the fact. What a shame, and pitty to these kind of people too :)
So, this is my point of view to the phrase of
"Why people only remember my mistakes and never remember my GOODs "
so this is one of the point that explains the question. Is just a sharing and point of view. ok :)
cheers
