My Mission Statement =S

Today’s speaker is Mr. Eric. I miss Pei Li because, every time, she will make me more energetic during her lectures although it is early in the morning. Well, other lecturers like Mr. Eric and Mr. Kumar also have their own teaching method. However, I personally prefer Pei Li’s teaching method though. The very first sentence that Pei Li would say, “Give a high five to your friends and said you are awesome” gives me the motivation for the day. I have always loved this class among my other subjects because this lecture seems to give me a sense of relaxation, nevertheless providing me a clearer vision on myself so as to further consider my future career.

We were asked to create our own personal mission statement for the class today. There were six steps to do in order to prepare that of the mission statement. I have had three missions at this point. The first mission is I want to let peace prevail on earth with all the energy I have. The second mission is I would love to share my love with the children around the globe. And last but not least, I would like to entertain and bring joy to tourists so as to let them hold a certain degree of trust upon me. These three missions seem simple and easy but it did take me a hard time to think of them. The happiest thing is that from here I can find out the pathway that I am going to take up in establishing my future career. Thus, I would love to be a teacher or a tour guide.

As what Covey said, “I will live each day with courage and a belief in myself and others” and “I will help others as best I can and will thank those who help me along the way”. I totally agree with what he said because I think that everyone in this world is full of emotions. They can feel that those who helped them before and will feel thankful for the one who lent out their helping hand. Therefore, in order to be one person who is willing to help out without asking anything in return is not impossible. As long as we have set the mission statement and all we need to do is just follow that and follow our heart will do.

Besides talking on lecture, I also went for individual counselling. It also made me understand and make my mind think clearer on what am I going to do for my three years in order to pursue my career in future. I will continue go for the counselling not because of the bonus point but for myself to know more about my own strengths and weaknesses; hence try to change them and become a better person in life.

This week is Career Awareness Campaign week and a number of talks will be held in different places. I will take this opportunity to go for these talks to improve myself and get to know these workplaces better. Moreover, I am also going for Peer Support Group (PSG) Search-In Camp from Friday till Sunday this very week. I wish to get to know myself better and know what I want to do in order to strike my goal. Looking forward to that camp. All said, I must make sure I’ll be discipline enough in order to achieve goals through my career in the future. Keep it up, Alice! Do not get upset easily and always be optimistic because, “whenever there is a will, there is a way”.

A lecture that make me know myself better..

Today’s speaker is Mr. Kumar Mahalingam. He talks about different kind of career paths. He also introduces to us an author named Corey who discovers the six factors in career making decision. In the six factors given, I can say that throughout the activities that Mr. Kumar asked us to do make me understand myself deeper.

I find it that this lecture gives myself a vivid view on my own personality. I get motivations from the activities. I also know that what attitude should I have in order to drive to the successful goal. The abilities provided will also drive us to a successful person in my own career. We also must have interests, values and self-concept for choosing the career. These factors will drive us to the right career in future.

I’ve tried to log in into the website, O*Net, given by Mr. Kumar for more information on which career I’m suitable with. In order to get the details, I use the Holland’s R.I.A.S.E.C. that provide me three character code to search for occupation that suit my code. I get the code from the Vienna Test I did last month. My code is SCE, which stated that I could be an employment interviewer, education administrator, counsellor etc. This gives myself a much more clearer idea which career I’m most suitable to fit into.

In order to let myself get to my goal, I must start planning what should I do to let I get one step closer to my goal. I’ve started to make a timetable so that I’ll make sure my time was fully spent in useful work. I cannot waste any single minutes because this will delay my drive to successful career goal.

 

 

A special guest in my class..

Today before our class ends, there is a special guest invited by Pei Li to give speech for us. She is Ms Katherine (sorry if I had spell wrongly her name), who is now pursuing her Master in Counseling in HELP University College. She is a person with high motivation. I did learn a lot from her today. She do believed that ‘Practice Makes Perfect’, so do I. I think that everything must be practice for a few times only we will get the result we wish to get. As she’s an elephant-look man, she do not mind on her outer appearance and still willing to share her experiences on charity and life with us. I think that she is a very brave person. She manages to face lots of obstacles by herself. She’s so cool! If I was she, I do not think that I have that braveness to face the crowd, even though with an ordinary appearance. I love the song ‘My Peace’ that sang by her, it make my heart so calm and peace, my members and I even follow her to sing along. This is so cool, she’s even cooler than Malaysia Idol. She has the talent in singing and has a good voice. I feel embarrass if I were to compare with her. I myself am more fortunate than her. Therefore, I must study hard for my better future. Thanks for Pei Li for bringing her into our class.

            Every time after the class, I’ll go for the 10,24,7 rules. Tonight I do the same thing, just review what had been learned in class. In order to strive my goal, I must explore my own aptitudes and skills so that I know myself better and from there I would have set my goal clearer and be more systematic. Besides that, I also go through the 127 lists that had been accomplished by John Goddard. He is one of the famous adventures and motivational speaker. By today, he had already accomplished more than 500 lists of experiences during his lifetime. He’s so cool! He did set his goal and make his goals come true. That is the greatest part of him. He did accomplish the entire goal that he had set. Very a few of us can do so because we always take things for granted and never be self-discipline like John.

            We were asked to fill in our dream list after a few activities on and we were asked to share our list with our friends. My dream lists were quite unrealistic sometimes, but it’s good to have dreams than none. Not all of us can have our dreams come true, but I do believe that if we are well organized, all of our dreams can be come true one by one as time goes by. I like the sayings that Pei Li mentioned during the class, “to dare is to do, to fear is o fail.”. Therefore, I truly believe that if we do not take the first step, it’s very hard for us to proceed our life to the successful pathway. So, from tonight onward, I want to turn into a new leaf, make myself think of what is my dream lists and what I can be accomplish by the time being. I must being honest to myself, not only day dreaming but must do things practically. My first dream list is I wish that I can understand all the lecturer’s teaching and score well in any of the examinations. Looking forward to see my first dream comes true.

 

 

My new lifestyle is going to begin...

I am quite surprised that Pei Li did not turned up in the class today. Today is Mr. Eric who conducts the lecture. What he taught today was about “Values”. Well, it is a very common topic nowadays but not much of people will realize this and look into it seriously. I can say that even myself also did not really think deeply what values do I have in my life. This made me think of my own values in life. Sometimes, due to my values, although I think that something is not right, yet I still continue to hold on to them because of my own over-excessive vanity. Umm… This sounds very sad right? But that is what is happening in the world now. Even in cooperate companies, they themselves do not put values as their first priority because many of them think that it is not necessary to practice that. This eventually leads to all sorts of crime cases and likewise.

Too many people overvalue what they are not and undervalue what they are.

                                                                                                      ~ Malcolm S. Forbes ~

In life, people are always undervaluing themselves. They thought they are no one in this world. I do think that everyone has his or her own values. It is only whether they want to practice it or not. So, why don’t we just practice or do whatever we think which is good and correct in life. We do not need to undervalue ourselves as we all do have our own value.

After this lecture, I was so worried and anxious. Today is the day that I’ll know whether I’ll get the PTPTN loan or not. I’m so anxious about the result as this will decide my financial support in taking up this course. My heart was breathing deeply. Once I click on my ID and password, it shows that my application had been approved. This is so cool. I’m so happy because finally I got what I want. I’ve been worrying this for the past few months since I decided to start my course. I’m afraid that I’ll have to stop half way of my study due to financial problem. Yeah!! I can see the rainbow now!!

It’s Wednesday morning, after Dr Hera’s lecture, I went to the library while waiting for the time to pass. I’ve made an appointment with the counselor to analyze my Vienna Test report. The counselor that do analyze for me is Ms Chan. She is a nice person to chat. After chatting with her only did I realized that I’m having depression. Wow.. That’s amazing. This test really can test out my own personality and my trait. I always remember what Pei Li says about not to take this test’s result 100% seriously, however just make it as a reference in life. This test does make myself know myself better and I have a clearer idea on my future career. Furthermore, it also narrow down the scoop of profession I want to go into. From the analysis I got, I’m more into social interests. So I can have more ideas of where should I go after 3 years in this course. I told myself that I would take another test after two years just to have a look on my changes within these two years. By that time, I think that I can have my choices of future career in my mind and my differentiation in choosing a profession will be much more higher than now, ie. only 5% for now.

I love this phrase: ‘Whenever there is a will, there is a way.’ So, I’ll keep on practicing in order to get my dreams come true. 

Do you know?

I did another personality test in PSY110 today. Actually it’s quite true about the group I’m in. There are four big groups, ie. The Peaceful Dove, The Popular Peacock, the Perfect Owl and The Powerful Eagle. Once heard the group’s name already knew how interesting the personality test will be. Well, for those who know me, I guess you all know which group I was in. Haha.. Yes, you are right! I’m in the Popular Peacock. Since I was in primary, I’m get myself very involved in activities that held in school or outside the school. So, I guess this test really point out my real behavioral style. For those who create this test, I salute you! A human’s intelligence is really unpredictable. And for such test, they need to do research and then sum up everything till get the similarity and difference for each group. I beg you agree with what I said.

During the 2 hours in PSY110, we were given a task to draw out our dream university. From this activity, I can see that my course mates are all very creative in drawing and in words. We all are considered genius as we can finish the task, draw out those nice picture and presented it in limited time. Applause across for the Bachelor of Psychology student (a.k.a. Bpsy students). Clap.. Clap.. Clap.. You guys are really amazing!!!

Well, this is the third time I wrote on my blog and I found out that I’m getting more and more likely to love to post out something here as a remembrance of what I did for the whole course. Thanks for Pei Li for asking us to do this as part of our assignment. If it’s not part of the assignments, I’m sure that I definitely will not do it myself. I knew that I’m the lazy type. I really feel grateful for having this course and this assignment. Haha..

In the afternoon, me, Kai Jia, Wai Hin, Zack and Yee Yan (my gang) went for Vienna Test. This test is cool. There are divided three parts in this test. I have to do 440 questions in the final part. One of them did till fall asleep. Haha.. Well, although it takes me 2 hours and 30 minutes to do that but I think it’s worth to be because from this test, I’ll definitely know myself much more better. We’ll be going for counseling on our test result. I’m looking forward for the counseling, as it’ll help me to develop my personality and behaviors better.

This is the third week I start my course, so far so good. I’m sure that I did not choose the wrong course because psychology really provide me a lot of space for critical thinking and not only get spoon-feed by the teachers. This is the exact way for us to grow. We need to practice before we join the working world. I’m very sure that these are our strength in the job world in future. Many of the employment will hire a psychology-based student because we have been trained up to be independent throughout the whole course. And I think that’s why GE loved our graduates so much. Well, looking forward for the next lecture. Do not know are we going to test next week. Just wait and see.
