Donald Trump fired Carolyn. Fired!? A beutiful looking lady, a capable executive, ... and after working for 11 years, she still got fired.

For whatever reasons Trump said to others, we can only accept it, so does Carolyn. It is a hard reality that when somebody like Carolyn has done sooo well, yet got fired. The truth is: only when you make your boss happy, you have done "right" things. The rights and wrongs are all the time subjected to the emotion or feeling of people, even to a so-called true professionals like Donald Trump.

Emotion swings. So, the decision of everybody also fluctuates. That's why the world is constantly "changing". Master your emotion and be-prepared for the changing world. =P

Speaking is an Art?

Till now, I do not really understand the above statement. I only can see the effect. When same content comes out in different ways from different persons, the effect to the audiences would be different. So, what is bout Speaking?

I am certainly not qualified to give an insightful answer to the question. I could only tell what I know while hopefully you can feedback upon my opinions.

> Clear and Fluent

When we are speaking, we must structure and present our points well. People are lazy and don’t like to think much while listening. Also, speak fluently. Too much pause will drift the most patient listener away.

> Humour

The most efficient way to attract audiences is by creating laughter. A sincere laugh livens up the atmosphere and makes the chatting more interesting. Humour is an important spice that adds taste to a chat. Without it, a chat is no more than a typical lecture in NTU.

and others…

So, what is the art about speaking? …..

Sports & Interaction between People

Sports is inter-action between people. Sports must involve people and people are an important element in sports. Fun people will make the sports more interesting and livelier. One of the factors that makes football the most welcoming sports through out the globe is the number of men involved in the game. People enjoy watching individual talents, people applause for good passes, people LOVE great team. The WOW factor always arises when the team plays like an individual, when the interaction between players is so subtle that it seems like no interaction has been made.

A good sportsman is always a person who can connect well with others, though some of them do not prefer verbal communication. With the love towards the sports, he shares the passion towards people as well. A sportsman never fails to be a good friend. He may not be the most popular person amongst his friends, yet he is can be a life-long friend.

I may have given too high credits to sports-person. Yet, this is the observation and feeling that captured me through my new attempts to play sports.

2am

What could happen in guys hostel at 2am!?

On my way to toilet, I just saw a guy, disguised in facial mask, rushing towards toilet. I was like -O-M-G- , here's a new generation guy who did facial by himself! Well... I must admit I am so OUTdated by NOT doing facial...

Then, without disturbing his face-off process, I went on with my own night-shower. When done, I just walked back to room as normal. Suddenly, I heard a human voice imitating gun firing "Zh Zhe, Zh Zhe, Boooom!". Reflectively, I turned back to check out. Here's another huge guy, holding an invisble gun and reload it - "Zh Zhe, Zh Zhe..." Luckily, he was engrossed with his "short gun" and not aiming at me. Hai... I must admit I am so OLD now by NOT having the fun of playing invisible gun.

OLD and OUTdated fella at 2am - me.

P/S: The type of gun (short-gun) is deduced from the sound and his action.

Body over Mind

For times, I could stay awake till very late, just to play game. Yet, for this very time, I hardly focus on my FYP persistently. Indeed, without much excitement enjoyed, I am not able to focus on a particular work. I am so much controlled by the outer factors, rather than my own mind. I am so weak in my determination to stay focus and to get things done. I am just not a good master of my own body.

Sense of sleepiness is crawling all over me whilst I have not achieved what I would have done. This is so much a difficult time for me as I really wish that I could stay on and finish it. Yeah! Find the motivation, the passion, and the excitement. I am supposed to finish it. I am going to finish it!

If I am not going to control my body, I am going to deceive my body. Hehe... (grinning)

Belief

Fate Vs Life (2)

KaiZao Shi Fu slightly touched upon this topic in last week's talk. Being human, our heart tend to look outward. We tend to believe more upon what others say . However, for what we perceived, it all arises from how our heart perceives. In order not to worry over some "untruthful" perception, we should observe our heart well. To observe, how we perceive. To observe, how we think. To observe, how we breathe. To observe, how we live.

Erosion

Laziness has eroded me, wholly. I came across a phone dialogue where my friend spoke in such a speed that I hardly catch up what he saying. I sensed that inner stress built-up so immensely that I hardly control myself. Now, I have to admit that I have been slacking for too long till the mind and soul are not at form at all. The brain is doing its work so slowly. Also, it hardly focuses to get things done. The soul has been weakin sustaining any pressure. Laziness has caught me up in the comfort zone that is shrinking from days to days. In past few years, the brain has not been challenged in any thinking process. It wanes, in its ability and its strength. So does my soul. A self-established comfort zone has allowed the soul to get softer.

What shall I do?
