How well do you use your brain

Ivan* was a obedient student. He wants to enter good college in order to have a better life. Due to the fact that he's chinese educated, he struggles in understanding what the lecturer is teaching. He have a wonderful memory(while I detest memorizing!!!)

Everyone have education in Malaysia. Statistics will reveal that there is ~96% of the population is literate. However, there is a catch. The gap exist in wealth and mindset.

The rich can afford to send their kids to good schools, while our quality of public schools needs to be improved. For example, one of my family member send her children to private school, while I'm in an 'inferior' public school(which doesn't and shouldn't affect my morale at all). Mindset, can help you win a championship. You need to be in "the zone".

A successful person have a good mindset. A successful person must have mentality of abundance. True, easier said than done. Personally, I hear people around me lamented that prices of goods goes up & so on & so on, while I'm still determined to thrive in hostile environment.

Some people I met feel very disappointed with the fact that they're not as good as someone else. I've learned that most important thing is that you should not compare yourselves with others and you should have your own path.

How to cross the Jordan river

Guys, as you know, I have intended to hop jobs for my parent sake. Initially, I balked at this idea, but eventually, I've realized it is my destiny to take care of them when they're old, even though in the era of gender equality.

Ok, let's not talk about this. Now, I having a problem. Chances are someone are coming in to replace me perhaps in 1 month time. If OSK did not bring me in, then I should venture in a business of my own. Sime Darby wants to exit from calibration industry, and they wants to dispose this division. I planned to 'turnover' ala Idris Jala & Carlos Ghosn style, but I need God's blessing on my side. In order to do that, I need happiness. I've realised that I need happiness. I need happiness to perform well in what I'm doing. But how am I going to be happy!?

That's why this is compared to crossing the Jordan. Like Joshua son of Nun, who conquered the valley, East of Jordan river, they need to cross the Jordan and take the city of Jericho, a walled city. Since they have no siege equipment, logically, they were crazy. But, with God's blessing, they conquered the city, that shows the power of God.

The power of baptism

I was happy with the fact that I'm baptised last year. However, I've sinned against the Lord and I get a sharp rebuke for this sin. I never felt that condemned & I just feel real bad for God. I hope no one will repeat my mistake.

2 Weeks 2 Changes

As all of you know, I'm doing internship right now in a Financial Group for 2 weeks. Lets go for 2 changes. This change will not occur in college.

First thing, I learned how to appreciate every single penny I have, as standard of living in big city is high. Thank God the place I stay has access to Monorail & etc, and coming back to Klang is a small matter.

Second thing is that I learned how to organize myself much better in terms of time management. In my workplace, my cliques are kind towards me and they're helpful. Most importantly, God has humbled my heart through workplace stress & 'shock'. I'm shocked that I can't contribute much to the team effort & I have many things to learn.

Last, but not least, I wanna be my best!!! I wanna work overseas. Afterall, most Malaysians work overseas because there's not much opportunities back home, might as well as go out by your own will.
