Teaching People to swim without being in the water! Logic?

Dale's Cone of Experience tells us that if you learn something by hearing it, you retain 20%.

If you are doing something, you retain 90%.

Today as I was swimming in the pool, I happened to see a guy sitting by the poolside teaching a student who is in the pool how to swim, how amazing is that!

As I was swimming while seeing such a scene, another issue popped up in my mind about how a 35 years old Dr. is telling a 55 years old patient how to live in a healthy way up to old age, say 75 years old. How amazing is that.

Think about it, why not ask a 75 years old folk how they live to that age?
Wouldn't that be a little more logic?

Is being "not enough time" a valid excuse???

There are so many things to be done in a day, does that mean a well planned plan is all it needs to "do all the job"?

This is one of the questions that I always ask myself... somehow the "little me" within me will tell me that, "yeah, great... although you have a nice plan.. do you have the time to commit to it?"

It astounded me when in fact, I do not have time...

However, ss that an excuse I give myself? is that a valid reason?

Well, i try not to accept this so called "mere fact"... come to think about it.. is more like that I need more "ummph", more energy, more drive to keep me moving....

And being a person of positive thinking, I think I can... and I truly believe so...
God bless me and each and everyone of you who reads this......

Happy New Year 2010!!

New Year, New Image, New Car, New House, New Girl Friend, New Style, New Wear, New Handy, New Music, New Movie.......

is everything supposed to be new??

I suggest that we should all have a "New Me" in terms of "look within" oneself rather than "look outward".....

Happy New Year and wish you all achieve your goals this year!

Home Sweet home?? An End or a Beginning??

Dear ppl..
It has been a while since I last posted the blog.. (Thanx to the China "GFW")

Finally the project in China Hefei has completed...
Surprise, surprise... I was bit "reluctant" to leave this place... (I shall post some pix in the upcoming blogs..."to show some highlights")
Then, I realised that I had the kind of same feeling when I was a student back in Bristol, UK....

Remember ppl used to tell me, it takes a while for you to get use to a new environment, and once you are acquainted & familiarised with a place, you will felt "reluctant" to leave.... I think it is happening again!!

So, after checking in my luggages, etc... I was waiting in the departure hall.
I sent the following sms to my fellow friends who I newly met during my stay in Hefei...

"Dear Fren..:)
Leaving Hefei is not the end for me but a beginning of a* new journey for me...:)
I am very glad to have met u all and went through the ups and downs together as time passed by... At least I have known u...
Stay alive lively and keep in touch, we'll see each other again...
Thank you and Goodbye!"

Come to think about it now... I should have written...
"*a beginning of ANOTHER new journey...." which is true!!

I believe "the End is the Beginning is the End"....
Life is always an ongoing process... it doesn't stop... it just keep moving!!!
And we as human, we must be able to adapt ourselves to this process and go with the flow!!

Welcome back to BLOGSPOT in KL....

I was glad to have come back to KL to start posting blog up again...
The reason that I have stopped blogging from China Hefei is that I couldn't log into blogspot......

I was later found out that it was blocked by the so-called Great Firewall (GFW) of China... great, huh??

Oh well, I supposed this country really spent quite a huge sum of money to do this "great" job....
