Short notes on Randy Pausch - Last Lecture : Achieving your childhood dreams

Life July 27th, 2008

This is the short note that I have taken after watching Randy Pausch - Last Lecture : Achieving Your Childhood Dreams

a) Never give up

b) How to Get People to Help you -

- You can’t get there alone, and I believe in Karma

- Tell the truth

- Be earnest

- Apologize when you screw up

- Focus on others, not yourself

c) Don’t bail; the best gold is at the bottom of barrels of crap

d) Brick walls let us show our dedication - it’s there for us to show how determination are we to get through the walls

e) Get a feedback loop, and listen to it

f) Show gratitude

g) Don’t complain, just work harder (work hard)

h) Be good at something; it makes you valuable

i) Find the best in everybody; no matter how you have to wait for them to show it

j) Be prepared : “Luck” is where preparation meets opportunity

k) It’s not about how to achieve your dreams, it’s about how you lead your life

l) If you lead your life the right way, the karma will take care by itself, dreams will come to you

Shellcard’s Services in Malaysia is the worst !

Stupid July 11th, 2008

Shellcard’s Services is the worst u can ever get. Hotline (03-74948181) can never be called through, and they don’t care to call you back as promise. They just don’t care !

So by any chance, if u can, don’t consider Shellcard, might as well tried ExxonMobil’s or other fleetcard services.

DELL APCC Penang increased staff’s meal allowance by RM2.50

Uncategorized July 7th, 2008

oi u hear me right, DELL APCC Penang increased their staff’s meal allowance by RM2.50 per month. Which means their monthly meal allowance will be increased from RM32.50 to RM35.

WTF, RM2.50 from DELL Incorporated ? RM2.50 in a month time, this is such a big insult !

Citigroup Layoffs 6500 staffs, will it move its stock’s price ?

NASDAQ/NYSE June 23rd, 2008

Citigroup (Stock Quote:C) will layoffs 6500 staffs from its investment-banking group, and those employees who were affected will be notified when they report to work on Monday (June 23, 2008).

FYI, Citigroup reported a $5.1 billion first-quarter loss. The stock price is at its lowest point, so it’s time for me to add some Citigroup’s share on top of what I already have. I know averaging down is risky … perhaps another 50 shares.

Don’t pay DUIT KOPI from now on…………..Don’t bribe Malaysia Police

Stupid June 18th, 2008

If you have ever paid or are thinking of paying ‘ Coffee Money’ when stopped for traffic or other offences, DON’T EVER do this again.

The traffic department (JPJ) has recently started a campaign to be rid of corruption. Every Officer on duty will be rewarded with RM100.00 if they report each case of bribery to the department.

This is how they do (trick you into) it. They will note down the details of your IC/MyKad, and ask you how you want to settle (’Macam mana nak selesai?’)

If you indicate yes or even offer to give them any money, they will report the incident by rejecting your ‘Kopi Money’ and get the RM100.00 instead as an incentive for their integrity and ‘Honest’ publicity.

This means that you will end up having a summon issued to you and perhaps a charge for bribery.

SO DON’T PAY DUIT KOPI AGAIN, especially if you hope to go free with a lesser amount of money compared to the fine. Even if you want to pay over
RM200, the JPJ Officers would rather have a ‘good’ name than to take your kopi money.

Just beware of their trick because the cops are now accumulating ‘cookies’ points for their promotion and pay increment - with your help if possible.

They should have done this to stop corruption long time ago… but anyway it’s better late than never, right?

SPREAD THIS MESSAGE AROUND TO EDUCATE OTHERS ON THIS NEW ANTI-RASUAH POLICY! AND DON’T YOU DARE TO CORRUPT ANY JPJ OR EVEN POLICE OFFICERS AGAIN!

*** somebody just send me an email, you may need to clarify whether the above is true or false. ***
