Met some nice lecturers this semester, makes school life less dreary..
Met strangers on the streets that were kind to me...made me feel that I should be like them too..
Some pple/things aren't worth your time, especially when u make time for them but it isn't mutual...but be good anyway.
Some pple are just slackers, so I must learn to firmly reject their partnership..
You can easily tell if a guy is a jerk, from the way he behaves and the things he say... good riddance girl, he ain't worth your time!
Battles must be chosen, focus on the end in mind so I don't get bothered by the unnecessary stuff...
It feels good when someone remembers you....a mental note for me to acknowledge the people I see everyday...
Felt a sense of accomplishment after my tutee was able to have a great improvement in his grades...
It can be hard to feel blessed in the situation I'm in now. And the irony is, I've been planning and looking forward to it all these while.
Maybe I shouldn't think too far, but I don't want to commit into something that I would regret..
I should really make time for fun....work isn't everything...
So many disasters happening one after another, is Armageddon coming soon?

Reflections about complaining
I find it quite annoying when people complain about everything in their life. I really mean EVERYTHINNNG.
When you try and provide solutions to manage the problem, they would say, "aiyah, don't want lah, already very busy, don't want to mess up the whole thing".
Sometimes it's good to just let the steam off your chest, after that, it's remediation time. To sit on the bench and complain about the way things were, that doesn't get anything done.
Say and do something positive that will help the situation; it doesn't take any brains to complain.

What will a 21st century leader look like?
This was what my tutor shared with us. For all teachers/teacher-to-be friends:
Came across this interesting exerpt from Jim Murray, author of above book -”What will a 21st century leader look like?”
In his book he said…. In my judgement, the leader of the past was a doer. The leader of the present is a planner. And the leader of the future will be a teacher.
The job of a 21st century leader will be to develop capabilities, not necessarily to plan the organization’s strategic direction. It will be to increase the organization’s capacity to be focused, agile and resilient. It will be to create, harness and leverage intellectual capital rather than to deploy other assets.
This kind of leader doesn’t need to know everything there is to know (because that is a practical impossibility). On the contrary, these leaders will want to be surrounded by people who know a whole lot more than they do but who will trust them implicitly to weigh their competing claims and advice. It might be surprising but, in study after study about the purpose of leadership in the new millennium, getting results, i.e., making money, doesn’t even figure in the top requirements.
What does figure is getting the process right – making sure the right people are talking to one another about the right things and have the right tools to do what they decide needs doing. When that happens, good results inevitably follow. This is what focus is all about. The 21st century leader doesn’t focus on results per se. He or she focuses attention squarely on the things that produce results. There are really only two ingredients required for organizational success: leadership and culture. And, since leaders know how to build an organizational culture of respect, accountability and innovation, nothing of any great consequence can ever be achieved without leadership. Leaders do make the difference.
Today, more than ever before, we need more people who are willing to lead. I can tell you for a fact that there are positions of executive responsibility awaiting you, provided you have what it takes or are willing to learn it. You heard me correctly. I did say “willing to learn.” The ability to lead others is really a collection of skills, virtually all of which can be learned or strengthened. We are not born with leadership qualities; we acquire them through experience – through observation and listening, and through dedicated, conscientious, continuous self-evaluation and improvement.
