My thought and learning from - WIN Leadership conference

Decided to spend 1 day time to attend to this WIN conference. It's alwasy not easy to push myself to squeeze out some time from busy working schedule to attend to this conference.
Good. Since i make up my mind, just do it !
This is the 3rd time WIN conference held in M'sia site, but, this is the first time i make it a point to join.

Another reason that i am attending to this conference is to listen to our Tan Sri Rafidah Aziz - she is one of the invited speaker. I wanted to see how great or how prepare is she to come to such a big MNC for public talk :)

2 speakers that really impressed me - M'sia site GM and HR Director.
I learn some very impressive statements from them :
Ignite - your passion to your job
Inpires - other people arround you
Invest - everyday in your learning !
What a powerfull 3 "I" !!!
"My aim is to inspire everyone who had talk to me in cafe and in 1:1. Tell me or e-mail me if you do not see me do so." - What a powerful leader ! i salute you - Robin Martin.
"My grandma told me - you are special and i believe in it. If there is someone do not take you or do not want you, that is their own problem, not you !" that is the inpire words from her grandma that hold with her for so many years of success until today. - she is black and hold a high position in this big MNC - that is definitely not easy - somemore is a "SHE". - Roz Hardnel

Robin inpired by his grandma too who taught him to be very persistant in achieveing goal - never give up - nothing is impossible. At the same time, also learn to be a graceful looser - learn and stand up from failure.
That is how Robin been brought up.
Roz inpired by her grandma too. Not easy to stand up high in US for a black - but she did it and she is now one of the Director.
Moshe Wang - a women who was born during China revolution time - she is also inpired by her grandma. her Grandma's detail and strict to quality character rooted deep in her which also become her principal for life today.
Even Rifidah, she is also influence by her mum in terms of punctuality quality.

All in all, this give me a very impactful message - FAMILY is the root for my kids - there is where they start and there is where they will be shaped up.
Our family value has to be set right, role modelling is something that we can not delay. Kids is just like a big sponge, they hv unlimited capacity to absorb what they see, they hear and they feel everyday........
huh..........not easy huh ....... at least my bad bad temper need to be corrected. That is definitely a tough challenge.I started to see TY shout and having bad temper, and i strongly feel that is my responsible. He is just reflecting what i do everyday..........

All hv to start from ME - as what i share with SL as well.
We do both hold equal important responsible to set the right tone.

Another commonality among all this great leaders are thay all coming from not an easy family background. Tough, hard and need to strive through a tough journey to reach where they are today !

Again, family backgrounf shape the backbone.
Reflect it on myself, isn't me also coming along the same way ? how am i today is also how i hv been shpe up in my family bfr ?
I do really appreciate a lot how my dad and my mum shape me up. Their hardworking and persistency really solid rock ! i can't imagine how can is start a new life, in a new land, with 4 kids in age of mid 30s (without anything at that time). They are courage and definitely hardworking and tough !
In my mind, i always remember how many jobs that dad take up to keep the family running, how late that mum sitting in front of her sewing machine everyday, just to sew up our dream.
They did it ! i will say they did it ! and i also remember what mum said :" it never come into my mind bfr that all my 4 kids are now university graduates !" i can sense that how grateful is she with all the sacrifice that she and dad did for the past.
I hope 4 of us will continue to realize my mum and my dad's will by continuing respect and pay back to society......Pay back to society is also something that my dad and mum activelyn doing now ! see, how powerful is my parents ! i always respect them as they always become my mentor at any point of my life.

Our family need us and our society need us.

See, how powerful is this conference - how much i learn from there !
It definitely worth to spend a day !

Another learning is i should spend more time to learn - charge myself up - then just work, work, work.....

Keep it up !

弟弟归来

Mid Aug
弟弟从日本回来两周,家里也趁这时候好好的聚一聚。两周溜走得好快。

回温一下中餐, 槟城小食,点心,Kaya 角,我们家爱到的素食馆-众生缘,大东, 桃园。。。当然还有妈妈的饭菜香与那“家”的味道。。。

老公与我也烘了个chocolate moist cake 与老公拿手的 Tiramisu。我们家个个都爱甜点与蛋糕,人人都吃得津津有味。

值得一提的大东。。。浓浓的中秋气息。。。吊满了旧式用铁丝与玻璃纸做成的灯笼。思绪都被带回了小时候的中秋提着蜡烛灯笼的情景。 不像现代的Battery灯笼 :)

时间太短,想要一起做的事情太多。

吉祥月, 我们大大小小又到静思堂去捧爸爸的演出,看着台上的爸爸, 台下的妈妈,除了感恩还是感恩

HardRock Hotel 两日游, 小孩戏水得好尽兴 - 泳池超大,泳池water game  设备也超好玩。 TY 可是玩了水上slide 不下整百下, 不停的围攻 :)。 晚餐又到了Gurney Plaza 的炫笙, 终不负众望, 一保水准。

一起去选买月饼也给小孩买灯笼,热热闹闹的, 总是觉得很温馨。。。有商有量,有说有笑。。。回到家又选上一个晚上,一家子聚在一起吃月饼。大家心里都那么的兴奋与珍惜着每一刻, 都知道月饼并不是主角。

写着写着总觉得父母都好伟大, 好有智慧也好有福报, 可以营造出一个如此融洽的一家, 真的不容易呀!

整家人聚在一起的时间总是那么的温馨, 那么的愉快,可也是那么的快过。


又到了机场送别的一刻了,心里知道这一别可是要等到至少18个月后才会再聚了。可是,这次看着老弟与雁凌双双离去的身影, 心理并不觉得那么难受, 总觉得两人在他乡都有个伴, 也对妈妈那么的说。。。

科技缩短距离的伟大也是值得歌颂的。。。视讯连线可是太棒的发明了。。。


期待着下一个聚点。。。
