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.
” 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
“ 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” Rev Ben Yeap
“ The day when I stop improving is the day I start to walk away from the game “ Michael Jordan NBA basketball legend
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 2nd time loser, rite? Then you fail your subject or getting low marks, 3rd time loser. Then you at end you get poor result in your report card, 4th time loser and at the end when you go to work, your employee rejects you because of your poor result, that makes you the 5th 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 studentwhom 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.
"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.
