~Sixth Week of Class~

Last week there was no lesson...so I am quite excited about the lesson today because this is the class where I enjoy the most!!! However, I am quite tired today as I didn't have a good deal of sleep yesterday...I only slept for 4 hours and that really makes me feel sleepy and drowzy in the class...Frankly speaking, this is the first ever time I slept for such amount of hours and almost fell asleep in the class...I couldn't even shout out "You are awesome!!" like before in the previous lessons...Sigh~~

Well, despite the drowziness I had; I managed to keep myself focused in the class because I really love this subject, especially with Pei Li as the tutor...Time flies really fast...within a blink of an eye, it's the 6th week now and I am very sure that I'm going to miss this class alot!!! It makes me feel so relaxed and happy each time I had the lesson...Whatever I have learnt in the class will always be fresh in my mind, this one I'm 100% sure of it...

Basically, I learnt about SKILLS today...to start it off, defining skills are really not as easy as I would have thought...all the while I thought that skills are limited but I didn't know that there is such a long list of skills which I wouldn't even think of...At first I am quite curious about the topic as I really want to explore what are the undiscovered skills of mine...I would say if it's not for this class, I wouldn't even be sitting down calmly and think about the skills that I actually have...Haha~~Life resolves around skills too I guess...

I had a great time skimming through the whole notes to see what skills I really have or used...To my very surprise, I found that I have quite a lot of undiscovered skills in me...whether it's learned or natural, I still found it very amazing...Furthermore, Pei Li encouraged everyone to share with their partners beside them...It was a great experience to me as I hardly share anything with people openly...usually I only share it via internet chatting, where I feel more comfortable in doing so...but after the sharing session today, I feel a strong amount of courage slowly building up in me which enables me to share openly without any discomfort...

In addition, filling in the part "my frequently used skills" makes me realize how important is it to know our own skills...As told by Pei Li, the top 10 to 12 skills are the motivated skills where we need to utilize them in the working world in the near future...Therefore, I wrote down all the skills that I could think of at that moment...Although I didn't manage to fill up all the columns but at least I found out my top 10 skills...I am going to practice more of these skills as I'm sure these skills will bring me to a higher level and a step towards my ultimate career goal...

Besides that, Pei Li showed everyone an inspirational video clip about John Goddard, the world's greatest goals achiever...He is super ambitious as he has accomplished more than 500 goals in his list...I am not as ambitious as him but I do have my goals and dreams but my main goal is to help whoever that needs it so that they will be able to smile happily despite the strings of stressful events or periods...Half an hour before the class ends, a special guest appeared...it's Catherine!!! I've seen her before during my HMC days but I never spoken with her at all...after her inspirational and breathtaking speech, I finally understand how things can change our life greatly...to her, God is everything...I appreciate her willpower and efforts to live in this world despite her condition...I truly respect her...

"To dare is to do, to fear is to fail" - A quote that inspires me...and thus I came out with mine...

"Success awaits you for you are never too late for success"
