"i hate when knowledge gets misused and people who are taken in by perceptions and prejudice lose sight of reality.
this is the source of misunderstanding, ignorance and conflict."

fail_to_prepare_and_preparing_to_fail/helloedithere

Old Benjamin also had a collection of wise sayings up his sleeves, such as “If you fail to prepare, you are preparing to fail”. What advice can be wiser than that?

Preparation for an important task ore event—job interview, product launch, presentation, speech, stage performance—is the only way to ensure success. When you are well-prepared, you save energy and time when you’re in the midst of the task. Most important, because you are confident and sure of what you’re going to do and say, you save yourself from being a laughingstock. (Failures are usually laughingstocks.)

The period of preparation comprises three stages:

Stage 1: Research

Gather and study your material. Check the Internet for contents. Contact friends who are knowledgeable about the subject on hand. Suppose you’re going to give a short talk about a healthy lifestyle to prevent diabetes. You have to read up on diabetes and its terrible effects. You need to know whether regular physical exercise and a sensible diet actually reduce the chances of contracting diabetes. You may even have to talk to your neighbourhood doctor or call the Health Promotion Board, just to be sure.

Stage 2. Rehearse

Steve Jobs is reported to carry out rehearsal after rehearsal before he presents a new Apple product on stage. That man really puts in long hours just to make sure everything will be carried out smoothly on the big day itself.

Most of us think that our event is not that important for us to rehearse. This is wrong thinking. Any time you appear “on show”, you must appear at your optimal best. And that means rehearse and rehearse.

Stage 3: Review

Run through the future event in your head. Review and visualise all possible outcomes, especially bad outcomes, so that on the actual day, nothing bad will surprise you.

And finally.....

A recent scientific study found that women find different male faces attractive depending on where they are in their menstrual cycle.
For example, when a woman is ovulating she will prefer a man with rugged, masculine features.
However when she is menstruating, she prefers a man doused in petrol and set on fire, with scissors stuck in his eye and a cricket stump shoved up his backside.

NOW SEND THIS TO A MAN WHO NEEDS A LAUGH AND A WOMAN WITH A SENSE OF HUMOUR!!!

5-MINUTES MANAGEMENT COURSEhelloedithere

5 MINUTES MANAGEMENT COURSE
Lesson 1:

A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbour. Before she says a word, Bob says, 'I'll give
you $800 to rop that towel, ' After thinking for a moment, the
woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob After a few seconds, Bob
hands her $800 and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, 'Who was that?'

'It was Bob the next door neighbour,' she replies.
'Great,' the husband says, 'did he say anything about the $800 he owes me?'

Moral of the story:
If you share critical information pertaining to credit and risk with your shareholders, in time, you may be in a position to prevent avoidable exposure.


Lesson 2:
A priest offered a Nun a lift. She got in and crossed her legs, forcing her gown to reveal a leg. The priest nearly had an accident.
After controlling the car, he stealthily slid his hand up her leg.

The nun said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?' The priest removed his hand. But, changing gears, he let his hand slide up her leg again.

The nun once again said, 'Father, remember Psalm 129?'

The priest apologized: 'Sorry, sister, but the flesh is weak.'

Arriving at the convent, the nun sighed heavily and went on her way.
On his arrival at the church, the priest rushed to look up Psalm 129. It said, 'Go forth and seek, further up, you will find glory.'

Moral of the story:
If you are not well informed in your job, you might miss a great opportunity.

Lesson 3:
A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp. They rub it and a Genie comes out.

The Genie says, 'I'll give each of you just one wish.'

'Me first! Me first!' says the admin clerk. 'I want to be in the Bahamas, driving a speedboat, without a care in the world.'

Puff! She's gone.

'Me next! Me next!' says the sales rep. 'I want to be in Hawaii, relaxing on the beach with my personal masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and the love of my life.'

Puff! He's gone.

'OK, you're up,' the Genie says to the manager.

The manager says, 'I want those two back in the office after lunch.'


Moral of the story:
Always let your boss have the first say.


Lesson 4:

An eagle was sitting on a tree resting, doing nothing. A small rabbit saw the eagle and asked him, 'Can I also sit like you and do nothing?' The eagle answered: ' Sure, why not.'

So, the rabbit sat on the ground below the eagle and rested.

All of a sudden, a fox appeared, jumped on the rabbt and ate it.
Moral of the story:
To be sitting and doing nothing, you must be sitting very, very high up.


Lesson 5:

A turkey was chatting with a bull. 'I would love to be able to get to the top of that tree,' sighed the turkey, 'but I haven't got the energy.'

'Well, why don't you nibble on some of my droppings?' replied the bull. 'They're packed with nutrients.'

The turkey pecked at a lump of dung, and found it actually gave him enugh strength to reach the lowest branch of the tree. The next day, after eating some more dung, he reached the second branch. Finally, after a fourth night, the turkey was proudly perched at the top of the tree.

He was promptly spotted by a farmer, who shot him out of the tree.


Moral of the story:
Bullshit might get you to the top, but it won't keep you there.

Lesson 6:

A little bird was flying north for the winter. It was so cold the bird froze and fell to the ground into a large field. While he was lying there, a cow came by and dropped some dung on him.

As the frozen bird lay there in the pile of cow dung, he began to realize how warm he was. The dung was actually thawing him out! He lay there all warm and happy, and soon began to sing for jy.

A passing cat heard the bird singing and came to investigate.
Following the sound, the cat discovered the bird under the pile of cow dung, and promptly dug him out and ate him.

Morals of the story:

(1) Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy.

(2) Not everyone who gets you out of shit is your friend.

(3) And when you're in deep shit, it's best to keep your mouth shut!

the gal was on time, but she gave a DUN care attitude, revising her school work. boi, competitive till cannot relax a while? She suddenly asked a normal questions as if rushing for time, and she is in fact all the time busy. Is the member coming?

I cannot help but said, "I will call him/her now."

Jogging Stylehelloedithere

JC means follow-what-you-do. Teacher in school say jog then jog, no mind of own. But gd in tat sense tat he/she follows thru a fixed routine, complete no link with the realistic world. No need to Think-Out-Of-The-Box.

Poly means follow with care, sometimes with fun, must be really fun. Else then dun do. But gd in tat sense he/she needs to think about socialing with the outside world. No need to care about school work as much as life is enjoyable and a much more enriching fun experience.

CONCLUSION:

JC slow jog with building stamina Train your One-sided Mind.
Poly unpredictable jog & run Train all positions.

Enterpreneurship Talk in NYP by Bernard Leonghelloedithere

The Team is Flat” in Nanyang Poly on 2nd August

All eight slides are simply summarized here:

Flatten the organization
United We Stand, Divided We Fall
Think Win-Win
Know Your Enemy
Strong Leadership
Brand, Brand and Brand
Innovation and not Imitation
Organization above self: Transition

He emphasized the four main ingredients of an enterprise: team, idea, business model and cash, and I convinced them that team is the most important among the four.

After all, without a good team, a good idea can lead to waste, and you do not have people to trust to manage the cash and also execute the business model properly. In some sense, doing a business is not about learning financials and accounting as detailed in most courses on entrepreneurship. I agree that those skills are essential, but ultimately, doing a business is about managing relationships between people, like how you interact with your investors, collaborators, partners and most importantly, customers.

crust which will wipe off easily when the oven has cooled.

Study ..helloedithere

More practice doesn't do u gd at times.

Not practicing means u will not do well at all.

So moderate practice is good Or rather understanding is CRUCIAL.

The rest is purely luck.

Life Destinedhelloedithere

I believe Everything in life is Destined and calculated for. So one day when you are on the street, walking past a granny, she may be your wife or husband. No one knows. Well, bear with it then.

Life has to move on anyway. Move it.

10 Ways to Go Green and Save Greenhelloedithere

10 Ways to Go Green and Save Green

How can we live lightly on the Earth and save money at the same time? In honor of Earth Day 2006, the Worldwatch Institute teams up with the Washington, D.C. members of SustainUS, the U.S. youth network for sustainable development, to share some ideas on how to go green and save green at home and at work.

This Earth Day, it’s time to take action.
And we really mean it. Study after study has confirmed that global warming is already occurring and that it is caused primarily by human activities. The only uncertainties are how soon and in what ways it will disrupt our existence. Stronger storms? Flooded coastlines? Harsher droughts? More disease? Not to mention that our waterways, food, and air are already polluted to unsound levels in many areas, affecting our health and quality of life every day.
But there is still time to act, and our great-great-grandchildren will thank us for living more sustainably, starting now. Fortunately, many of the steps we can take can actually make our lives better as well.

Below we offer a list of 10 things you can do today that will not only reduce your ecological footprint, but also save you money and help you live a happier, healthier life. (We call this a positive feedback loop.) Start with these, and after reading our Peak Oil forum, you can work on the rest.

1.Re-route your commute. Walk or bike to work and save money on gas and parking while improving your cardiovascular health and reducing your risk of obesity. If you live far from your office, investigate the option of telecommuting. Or move closer—even if this means paying more rent, it could save you money in the long term. If your streets are not conducive to biking or walking, lobby your municipal government to increase spending on sidewalks and bike lanes. With little cost, these improvements can pay huge dividends in decreased traffic and pollution.

2.Buy used. Whether you’ve just moved to a new area or are looking to redecorate, consider a service like craigslist or FreeSharing to track down furniture, appliances, and other items, rather than buying them new. Check out garage sales and thrift stores for clothing and other everyday items. Use your creativity in gift giving, including making homemade gifts, donating to a good cause, or even regifting. (And gift green, in general.) Your purchasing habits have a real impact, for better or worse. When making new purchases, make sure you know what’s “Good Stuff” and what isn’t.

3Buy local. Shop at your local farmers’ market. Though the offerings can be more expensive, you can generally count on a higher quality product—and the entire purchase price goes directly to the farmer. Buying any goods produced locally saves energy by reducing the fossil fuels needed to transport food and other items across the country and around the globe. Start a local currency program in your town. This can ensure that money stays in your local economy, valuing local services and supporting local merchants.

4.Compost your food scraps. Composting helps reduce the amount of waste you send to the landfill, which can save you money if you live in a municipality with a “pay as you throw” system. In the process, you create free, healthy fertilizer for your garden (or your neighbor’s—or lobby for a community garden!) If you don’t have a yard or space for a compost pile, try indoor ‘vermiculture,’ or worm composting.

5.Change the thermostat setting and install energy saving devices. Setting your thermostat a few degrees lower in the winter and a few degrees higher in the summer can translate to substantial savings on your utility bills. Install low-flow showerheads and take shorter showers to save water and the energy used to heat it. Or, consider eventually installing a solar hot water heater on your property. Wash clothes in cold water whenever possible and use a drying rack or clothesline. When incandescent bulbs burn out, replace them with longer-lasting, low-energy compact fluorescent bulbs. With the money you save from making these changes, consider buying wind energy from your local utility or purchasing renewable energy offsets. Renewables offer our best hope for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, as well as a host of other pollutants. In some cases, “green energy” options can be cheaper than electricity from conventional sources!

6.Skip the bottled water at the grocery or convenience store. Filter your tap water for drinking rather than using bottled water. Not only is bottled water expensive, but it produces large amounts of container waste. Check out this recent update and life cycle analysis for the latest on bottled water trends.

7.Make your own cleaning supplies. Using simple ingredients such as baking soda, soap, and vinegar, you can make cheap, easy, and non-toxic cleaning products that really work! Save money, time, and your indoor air quality.

8.Think twice about new electronics. E-waste from discarded cell phones and computers is a growing environmental problem. Mounds of electronic refuse are being shipped abroad illegally for ‘disassembly’ by workers with little protection against the mercury and other toxic substances they contain. Keep your electronics as long as possible and dispose of them responsibly when the time comes. Buy higher-quality items and don’t give in to ‘psychological obsolescence’ marketing campaigns. Recycle your cell phone and support good causes at the same time! Ask your local government to set up a responsible recycling and hazardous waste collection event.

9.Add one meatless meal per week. While strict vegetarianism isn’t for everyone, even the most devout carnivores can cut back on meat consumption without cramping their style—and save money in the process. Industrial meat production requires huge energy inputs and creates noxious waste problems. The proliferation of factory farms is damaging the environment, and the global nature of the industry creates conditions that promote the spread of diseases such as avian flu, potentially costing society billions.

10.Use your local library and other public amenities. Borrowing from libraries, instead of buying personal books and movies, saves money and printing resources. Consider donating the money saved to your local library. Be an active civic participant and ensure that the public spaces and facilities in your town are well maintained. This will promote a healthy, sustainable community.

All rounderhelloedithere

DUN B N ALL ROUNDER;

NV COMPLETE 1 TASK AND NEVER COMPLETE 2.

FOCUS ON 1 JOB!

on the roadhelloedithere

Today was on the road, cars whizzing past, then I got an instinct to give quotes again.

Choosing a person/mate may be life-time. But choosing a job or a certificate to get the desired job is a challenge and more of an interest.

Eg. Liking a designer course because it is fun and full of life is not for a person whose life lies in the laboratory in the life sciences sector industry.

Enoughhelloedithere

Enough is Enough.

When things go wrong, it is usually one's attempt to do things that are out of the ordinary.
Eg. when a car speeds, it is hard to slow down.

Inheritancehelloedithere

Who says a child does not inherit genes from their parents?

I am a good example.

A child would always follow their parents.

What they do is what we see. Simple as that.

Like the quotes, " A chip of the old block", "Like father like son".

Think before u speakhelloedithere

My cadet's rule of life!

THINK BEFORE YOU SPEAK ! ! !

Simplest poisonhelloedithere

The simplest poison in life is actually put into food or drinks. The ancient people a centuries and beyond ago are clever enough to do that due to Revenge in their mind.

With the accompany of beautiful wives as assailants, they can actually be quite simple to help kill a man with this Double-edged sword.

Thick book, thin bookhelloedithere

Thick book (Ref book) does not mean very hard to study.

This is one thing one need to take note when going to the library to look up for refernce book. Reference book means think books in automation.

Common Testhelloedithere

Common test is only but a class test!!!

If you cannot even cope with this, then how is the exam to you?

Practice makes one Confident, not perfecthelloedithere

It is said:-

Practice makes perfect.

But I personally do not think so. Why?

Ans: Practice helps one perfect its movement, the series of steps that you would normally do when you are in your training state. So in the process, one gain Confidence.

So the thing should go this way.

Practice gives Confidence!

Men talk Gal talkhelloedithere

Men talk, Gals aside,

Gals talk, Men stay away.

Same frequency or channel then can communicate better.

WHY VEGETARIAN?helloedithere

Why Do They Choose To Be Vegetarian?

I've found that a person does not need protein from meat to be a successful athlete. In fact, my best year of track competition was the first year I ate a vegan diet. Moreover, by continuing to eat a vegetarian diet, my weight is under control, I like the way I look.

Carl Lewis

The greatest of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.

Gandhi

Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the revolution to a human diet.

Albert Einstein

Nothing's changed my life more, I feel better about myself as a person, being conscious and responsible for my actions and I lost weight and my skin cleared up and I got bright eyes and I just became stronger and healthier and happier. Can't think of anything better in the world to be but be vegan.
