Advice to old self

16.11 (Friday) 11.14am at office thought about UK scholarship super concave decision

dont limit your options (dont take present as your future). bottom up
dont take rewards (not possible)
dont work too hard (junyuan worked too hard want certainty so he chose UK), dont maximise, dont optimise, (the seemable best option now (jpa overseas) turn out to be worst. The best option in long run = something secondary or seem worst now)

' the advice of "avoid losses" = more losses '. it backfired as iatrogenics. the movie of 2 dumpsters

the most-near-to-best advice is "if you are losing alot, you are on the right track now"
("deliberately and actively lose!" and "lose alot" are not good advice, he won't listen just like he won't listen to "dont take rewards". this kind of hard and fast rule are useless or in fact iatrogenics/detrimental to humans)

ultimately the advice to old self = dont take advice

________

when you dont know much, dont make decision
"just do it " is crap
too bad because you dont know much, you dont know that you dont know much

End of The Life with Phones :(

29th July 2011 Officially, I ended my career as a Marketing Executive (ME) in Teledirect Telecommerce Pte. Ltd. 3 months ago, simply surfing in Jobstreet.com, and simply clicking few jobs without studying much details (tikam only..haha) And dramatically, I got a chance for interview, and then get hired. Never thought i will work for such job in my life..sometime destiny and luck are really fishy XD Start from that moment, my hectic lifestyle started. I have to wake up at 6.30am everyday Take ride on the BEST transportation in Malaysia >>> KTM and went back home late at night.. And really live like a typical white collar, wearing formal everyday My task ? sell credit cards from Public Bank to customers through phones ! My first impression was : OMG..isit posible for customer to commit such thing through a phone call only? After a few weeks..I found the answer is, YES. Practice makes perfect. Faced lots of problems at first, some customers will hang up the ca

UKM-Law Interview

Image
Yes. Finally I’ve time to blog about this. After a week. Another important interview, after the interviews of JPA and Petronas at last year. An interview to UKM for enrollment into Bachelor of Law(LLB).Unlike the two interviews I went last time, I had done a lot of preparation and 'homework' before I go for the battle ! Because I know, this interview is important enough to determine my future, although it's just my second choice. But I really hope to get to study law. Depart early in the morning, but still almost late to there (due to critical traffic jam =S)..luckily it's 'almost' only~It is a campus located in Bangi, about 40 mins from my home. Faculty of Law - UKM My Name Tag..Lucky Number 39?=S After I had finished a simple registration procedure, we were called upon to enter a waiting room. When I just stepped into the room, a weird feeling came upon me, I felt stress and unwell...I saw lot of my competitors, all with face of confidence and intelligence. Bu

Again, the outcome was totally same as Asian Game last year..or even the Beijing Olympic three years ago. Yes, sad to hear that again. When the shuttlecock clashed with the net, the hearts of all Malaysians broke. A very few secs determined everything, he disappointed 27.5 millions of people again. However, the process was totally different. Or I've to say, it was awesome. Compared to the past few times, he changed alot. From the thorough lost in Beijing until the undifferentiated lost in London today. Not only for the technical skills, but more happy to see that he has developed a strong mentality. Agree to one of my friends, the measure of achievement is not in winning awards. Yes, the truth is, he lost. But, he lost nothing actually. The only difference between them, is only the hand-preferred. Luck and faith play an important role. Some may be frustrated. Why is the history keep repeating ? Quote from the advice I got from my friends during UPU announcement,
