Itful focus get fit stay be focused11/14/2023 #OwariNakiTabi #EndlessJourney #ContinuousLearning ![]() If Colonel Sanders could do it at 62, I could do it at 49! Watch this space! Let me get my sh*t together and see if this could be the start of my Suara Kami Mukarami Series and, in the future, feature other teachers or speakers and get them to conduct public lectures on topics that we take for granted, like mind mapping and how to write a communications plan. I am thinking of offering these free-to-join classes once or twice a month. It's a small step, but often, it's the small steps that lead to monumental shifts. People respond to learning new things differently, and the response that I received, be it verbal or non-verbal, is a lesson in itself.īefore the session ended, I shared with them the ‘2-Minute Technique'-a gentle nudge towards fostering a daily habit of learning and discovery in bites that are easy yet impactful. The principle of learning, in its essence, is an endless journey, one that’s punctuated with continuous exploration and curiosity. The questions fielded during the sessions sparked my brain to think and to look for ways to improve my own practice of clear communication. I really enjoyed meeting new people and sparring with them. These two free-to-join workshops proved me wrong. Secondly, my nature of wanting to have an "exam" or evaluation exercise post-workshop means I have to put in extra work, and I wasn't sure if I was up to it. Firstly, I am quite quick-tempered, so I didn't think I could handle a class without raising my voice or throwing my whiteboard marker at someone. While I have always been "teaching" at work or running trainings and workshops for clients, I have never really considered teaching as a vocation. I thought of Colonel Sanders, who founded KFC at the age of 62, as I was writing this. I gave them lots of exercises on creating prompts and refining the results of ChatGPT, and these were paired with vibrant discussions on its adaptability to our everyday tasks, particularly in the realm of financial consultancy. Today, I had the joy of spending an afternoon with the awesome team from AMS Empire led by Azlin Mohd Said, exploring the ways we can make use of AI tools like ChatGPT and QuillBot. ![]() On June 24, I hosted a workshop for the scientists from Cancer Research Malaysia on the subject of effective communications and brand raising. I read this text out to the press before launching the video. He ended this text by saying oleh kerana Hj Husin berkongsi rezeki dengan abah, maka abah dapat sambung belajar dan seterusnya menjadi cikgu dan menjaga adik-adik. This was in 2020, and inspired me to come up with #RapidKLSupportLokal and that year's Raya video berkonsepkan "kongsi rezeki". Pic: Excerpt from one of my father's last few texts, when he was still able to type. We looked at each other, and I backed out of the living room slowly, and he went back to reading the lyrics. When I was 14, I remember reading a book on the patio and running to the living room to turn off the radio because, for some reason, Bon Jovi's "Lay Your Hands on Me" was playing on full blast, only to find my father sitting beside it and reading the lyrics on the album interlay, furrowing his eyebrows because he could not understand why I was listening to this horrible noise every night on the walkman. They lived through war and poverty, from tiny transistor radios with AAA batteries to having the knowledge of the world in the palm of their hands daripada zaman dijajah hingga pertukaran Kerajaan sebanyak empat kali dalam tempoh 5 tahun daripada susah payah mengambil upah menoreh getah di tanah pajak Hj Husin untuk mendapatkan duit supaya boleh pergi ke sekolah hingga ke saat abah pandai membuat pesanan Caramel Machiatto daripada Starbucks Kampar menerusi Grab Food. That group is now gone, along with all the wisdom and experience that only they knew. I am sharing this here because, in my family, my father's generation no longer exists. ![]() Who knew that two months later, here we are again, attending Pakcik Alias' funeral this time? My sister told me that Pakcik Alias came to see Abah's grave after the burial was over. He stood beside Abah, his face in disbelief, and a few minutes later he left. I was reciting Surah Yassin, so I paused and moved out of the way. Pakcik Alias came to Abah's bedside after everyone had left. It was also raining heavily in Kg Gajah, so we decided to bring Abah home first and hold the burial the next day before Friday prayers. It was the day of the Elmina air crash, and there was a big motor vehicle accident on PLUS Highway, so both Guthrie Highway and PLUS were experiencing massive traffic congestion. It was quite late when Abah's body arrived from KL. I last saw Pakcik Alias on the night of my father's passing. ![]() With him gone, all four brothers have now passed on to the Eternal Land. Yesterday, my father's youngest sibling, Pakcik Alias, passed away.
