Commencement 2010!!

His precise speech, only 15 mins, Mr Wong Ah Long to Graduation Students (to my brother not to me :P) of Commencement 2010. But actually valuable for life time.

Just rewrite for what I've learnt and my own reflections.

1) One should have mentor whom you admired, i.e. "God father". For him, Mr Obama is his god father, why? Differences in his strategy with former one, he value his skills on negotiations and people focus. That's why he is becoming Nobel Laureate even less than one year after elected as President.
The only thing need to think about is "Does Mr Obama know him?" If he want Mr Obama know him, the answer is "do social work"

I use to have at least one god father whichever organizations I have worked, I assisted them in anyway as well as learnt from them. Still missing them. But here, where is my god father?

2) His second notes was "Jump out of the box!" He was told this by his boss while he was working for big firm as higher post. Firstly, he thought he has been mistaken. After two or three times he was told this, he was explained.
"What is the difference between 'Think' and 'Jump'?"
'Think' is just only imagination and must followed by actions otherwise it can be delayed even for years.
'Jump' related to movement for now.
That's why instead of thinking only you need to jump out of the box.

My present lecturer told one of my classmate that it was time to move another organization to explore more experiences after working 4 years for existing organization. For me also, it's time to jump out of my current box. Only problem is which side of box!!!! Coming 23 Jul 10 news will be the answer for me. 

3) His third points was "Knowledge is Power", that has been know for several hundreds of years and still useful for human life.

Yes, people have their own choice for life. "Only to get fish or to know how to catch fish"  At present, I'm learning the method of fishing but I feel like instead of learning at the pond, I'm learning it on the hill :(..... where is my pond to fish with my knowledge..

Anyway, thank you Mr Wong Ah Long for enlighten me within short time. This hall is celebrating commencement for graduate students. In my mind, I am celebrating commencement for my new way of life.
