Taking Responsibility: Take Charge

Since I came to UTAR, Its the second time I joined this softskill program. The 1st experience isn't that nice and its rude to say that the trainer couldn't success to deliver the main core message of the program to us, what I observed was, participants couldn't enjoy the talk and every each of them are doing their own stuffs, be frank, Included me ;) In other words, we are being forced to attend that talk.

Somehow, I didn't carry much of hope for today's program.However, surprisingly, it lighted up my day! The facilitator is a Malay guy named Mr.Rizal. Wearing a red Chinese traditional costume. His outlook shorten the distance between us. This is the impression of mine before the program actually begin.

Talk about this, Taking Responsibility: Take Charge is actually trying to deliver the message that every one of us should be responsible, should take charge of ourselves, our study, our family, and our world.. Its just a brief introduction of this program. Lets continue further...

Beginning of the program, we are required to take off our watches, keep it and draw out the look of our watches, whereas for those who do not owned one, were asked to draw the look of RM10~ I wear my watch all the time, we use the RM10 through out our life, but we never ever take notice of the single each part of what we used to use in daily life, We used to take things granted for, till we missed out alot of stuffs. We used to take our life granted for, being pampered and protected with the environment we used to be, hide behind the wall of protection that we have built up, till we missed a lot of opportunities that happen right in front us.. Ya, it do really happened to me, I used to think that I should have people help me all the time when I faced problems; I used to think that I should be the one who always stand a step higher than everyone around me; I used to think that my degree life is as easy,relax as foundation, but I couldn't realized that there are all the Opportunities for me to learn..how can I survive when I'm alone, How can I live when I fall down from failure...

Choice VS Chance...*Every Moment is A Choice, Every Choice is My Choice* Every Choice has its meaning, there are no right or wrong choice, We are just need to be responsible to what we have chosen.

Bangau oh bangau,
Kenapa engkau kurus?

Macam mana aku tak kurus
Ikan tak mahu timbul
Ikan tak mahu timbul.

Ikan oh ikan
Kenapa engkau tak timbul?

Macam mana aku nak timbul
Rumput panjang sangat
Rumput panjang sangat.

Rumput oh rumput
Kenapa engkau panjang?

Macam mana aku tak panjang
Kerbau tak makan aku
Kerbau tak makan aku.

Mr Rizal uses this song to deliver the message that people tends to appoint their fingers to others when they do not get what they want, this is so called-Bangau-ing! People who are like a bangau they will just know how to blame others but never aware that actually all the consequences began with their Choices! Just like me, I blamed Facebook when I can't successfully finish my own To-Do List of the Day! But who is the one who choose to play Facebook? Who is the one choose not to study? ME! MYSELF! Therefore, no blaming, Stop Bangau-ing! This is the sentence being repeated for time along the whole program section! He asked us to point out any example of luck, " Lucky draw", "Lottery", "Being survived from accidents" are all the example given by us, but all are being denied by him, There are no such thing called Luck in this world, We, ourselves decide the consequences! Again, all began with our own choices! The Chances are always there for us to make the Choice, so appreciate every chances, appreciate every choices we have made. No regret, no Bangau-ing for what You have chosen..

The most impressive part for me was, Solving Problems. Everyone of us have our own problems all the time.. I was sensitive to this part because lately I do really facing alot of problems which drives me really exhausted. Mr Rizal told us, No Problems, No Fun! Imagine our life is a flat and monotone melody, no chorus part, no climax; for sure its boring..For my own interpretation, Problems that came to me are all the pieces of notes that make up the song of my life, the song, the melody which only belongs to me. I used to cry all the times when I have Problems, I have Stress.. Tears are the only solution for me.. But in fact, every problem has a Solution. There are a lot more alternatives out there for me to choose instead of just crying. I have to make clear that, for sure I will still cry when I have problems, Its my personality, it wont just gone after I attended this talk, But at least I know besides crying, I still have other Choices to solve my Problems.

Besides, he teach us the benefit to give people feedback, Its never be an easy job to tell people the part they need to be improved, we are afraid that this feedback might blow up our relationship, but "Praise-Praise-Smash* is the strategy! praising and Praising~ Compliment cheer people up, their ears will open automatically, and now Smash them! Give them a Smash telling what they need to be improved with a good manner and pleasant way, Smash the message in, the message sure will successfully enter their brain! hhahahaa!! Funny wey~ try this way when you don't know how you should give suggestion to the people. *Ekhem, I think my BF can try this way too XD *
And one more thing, praising people is like lighting up a candle, It takes time but to blow it up is just take seconds and people tend to be more willing to use more energy, which meaning that, learn to compliment people, learn to praise people,I'm learning... =))

Lastly, he told us not to take UTAR, not to take study as a way just to achieve the stupid paper so called-Degree! He pointed out the most important point, students here always wake up early in the morning, bath change clothes then walk like a zombie attend to class, we are physically present in the lecture hall, but spiritually are not present.. He said he used to observed that pupil always rushing here and there for class but at the end of the day, they never really know what are the purpose for them to be there, the only reason is for Exam, For DEGREE! Its like me, every morning just attend the class like a Zombie @-@ Instead of being zombie, learn to change our perception, the bond between me n UTAR aren't just school and student, but a place for me to gain friends, knowledge, experience and skills.. Everything I learn from UTAR, Kampar, is going to be helpful and make me stronger in my life.

Lets say SEnyum TIGA~=DD

In a nutshell, I do really feel myself benefited alot along this program, I feel myself get motivated to change, in terms of myself and everything. Not to hide behind the protection wall, but stand up and face all the problems, and make the choice! I'm going to learn how to change the perception towards my study and my life. Changes take time, so its also a learning process for me. Sometimes, I will still feel weak and fragile, but I just gonna be stronger and stronger, till the day I graduated and leave here, I will feel really proud of myself.. Life is like the mirror of a car, front mirror is like the future of our life, its bigger, its clearer, so look forward; but we still need the small mirror help us to reflect what are there behind us, it assist us to move forward better..its just like what we experienced before that make now better.. So, what I wanna say is, I'm Gonna Believe in My Choice! UTAR, Kampar, Banking & Finance are all the choices I never thought of, But now I'm being destined to be here, they are my choices, I'm gonna be responsible and TAKE CHARGE of it!!

不舍。如释重负

分手的过程当中,对于我而言,最难受的是他和我说他觉得他做了一个很对的选择,就是分手因为他觉得轻松多了。他说他不用再烦关于我们的未来。 难受是因为一直以来我还一厢情愿的认为我们对我们的未来都很有憧憬,殊不知他却中途下车了,殊不知原来一直以来他都为我们的未来而感到很烦恼。我以为我...
