Once, I did my regular shopping at MPH and I looked at a new arrival book that straight away caught my eyes..
THE LAST LECTURE by RANDY PAUSCH.
But at that particular time, I already bought another book, so sadly, I told myself, "Next month I'm going to buy this book!"
I just kept it to myself. The following month was my birthday, and surprisingly BFF Qdin bought me that particular book for my birthday!!! Boy, was I glad!
And ever since then, I've this dream of becoming a motivational speaker.
Last week I had that chance, when I was given the opportunity to talk about Studying in Uniten to the new students in my department.
It was funny, really. Not that I was a really good student back in my undergraduate years.
Those who knew me back then know how often I skipped class or how late I was or how sometimes I took a peek at someone's assignment. And, those moments were the moments that I was not proud of at all. Because the earth is round. Whatever you're doing to others will always come back to haunt you. And that was the main topic of my talk the other day.
But i beleive that everything happens for a reason. You must be in their shoes to really know what they're doing.
REminds me of one time at the exam hall when I was invigilating for final exam, a colleague of mine asked (in amazement), "How come you are always the one that can caught students cheating?"
Yes, beleive me or not, I caught students who cheat in exam all the time. I seriously mean, ALL THE TIME.
And how do you answer to that kind of questions?
How do you react to it? Proud? Ashamed?
I seriously don't know ;p
