Career Fair 2011

Title : MMU Career Fair 2011

Venue : MMU Grandhall

Date : 22&23 March 2011

It was really a wonderful experience to be part of working committee of MMU Career Fair 2011 :) It was fruitful when I get to approach and talk to seasoned ppl who have been ventured to working world. It was fun to work in a same team with bunch of friends and I get to know a lot of new friends as well :D It was great to be a PR for DHL during career fair where I'd learnt so much from them and gained a lot of experiences. I'd learnt how to shoulder responsibility better and talked maturely.

This year, there are 59 companies setting up their booth in career fair 2011. I always love career fair because it offers a platform where you can actually meet up face to face with your favorite company representative and you may have the aptitude to see the road way down more clearly and easily. It gives you some insight. and it gives you the ability to see further down the road.

If you look at the path you're on and you like where you're headed, you can sit back and keep doing exactly what you've been doing and enjoy the ride. But what if you see where you're going and you dont like it? The only solution is to change the destination, which means we have to jump on a whole new set of tracks.

But how to do that?

世界唯一不变的,是世界天天都在变.

你变了. 我也变了.

我们都应该原谅改变, 因为我想人都会疲倦.

昨天的讲座上, 博士说,我们不能让身边每个人都喜欢我们

可是别怕,勇往直前.

因为...this is life!

每个人都应该往自己的理想不停前进和进步,永不止步.

如果我们渐渐不再看见一样的天空

也别舍不得.

昨晚的博士让我上了一课.

昨晚的主持人也让我上了一课.

我想他是让我印象深刻的主持人之一.

昨晚梦见了一片薰衣草花海

很漂亮．

原来想通了,自然就能美梦一场:)

It doesn't take a genius to realize that in the end, all of the things we aim for are ways to increase our happiness and that happiness is our ultimate goal as living, breathing human beings. It does take a bit of a genius though to achieve a high and sustainable level of happiness :/

I'd a good conversation with my supervisor the other day and I would really wanna share with you guys. Its really interesting to talk to him. He gives me some insights with his words.

I think there are a couple of types of persons around us.

First. The party person. The person who knows how to have fun but not how to get fulfillment. They do the things they're passionate about. They typically have a lot of hobbies and they party a lot (therefore the name haha). However they often end up reflecting upon their lives and feeling unfulfilled because sth is missing.

Second, the spiritual person. This is the person who is aware of the importance of contribution and a higher purpose. But they often work themselves like a mule and forget to have some fun.

Two typical extreme types of person.

Of course there is also a third type of ppl who dont go after pleasure or fulfillment and they pretty much gave up on life.

Okayy I get a lil random right now you must be wondering. I just wanna share about that to have a contented and happy life if and only if you

• acknowledge both sides of happiness - pleasure and fulfillment
• seek to balance them out in our life

Its the mix of pleasure and fulfillment that's key. Just combine activities that give us pleasure with activities that give us fulfillment everyday :)

like-ability factor

I am always amazed by how ppl talking. I find that its always a much better mode to add value in someone's life through a conversation than just being nice to him/her. Its through the style in the conversation. I'd a short conversation with a young lecturer in my uni while I was waiting to meet up with my supervisor last afternoon. It gives me a huge impression for the lecturer just within the 5 min conversation.

I like ppl adding value in the conversation. It fits well with the personality. It shows the confidence and proficiency of language. I think he is one of the best Nanotechnology lecturer though he has never taught me before.

There are many ways to add value in a conversation. You can be the wise person who inspires others. You can be a funny person who gives a humorous spin to everything and gets everyone laughing. You can be the good person who reassures the needed persons with cheesy compliments or shallow encouragements. You can be a knowledgeable person who is always charming, well, i mean with good general knowledge but not just being a photocopy machine of text book.

the lock

There are 2 types of fear, both legitimate fear and illegitimate fear.

When a tiger comes near you, there is fear, and it is a legitimate fear. The fear of future is not legitimate. In fact it is interesting, even exciting, not to know about the future.

As children we dont have fear. Elders sow the concept of fear. Then fear becomes a part of us. A child easily falls. Then a fear is installed. Slowly as the child grows up she is afraid to fall. The body becomes rigid and resists a graceful fall.

Emotional lock? Intellectual lock?

whatever :)

as long as it allow you to grow in love, in silence and joy. We just have to learn to frame an experience in such a way that there is growth.

Its March. Wow.

作为一个游子, 我出门在外尽可能不让自己音讯全无. 所以不时都会给家人和我舒服的朋友捎来自己的消息. 这是一种自给自足的安全感. 尽管它有时也会对自身的存在感没有把握的表现. 有时侯我会纳闷, 自己一厢情愿的提供消息, 其实有没有人在关心呢? 哈哈! 会不会, 没有消息才能叫人更想念和珍惜?

有时候根本懒得向任何人交代我的一切, 而让人却步了, 觉得我不够成熟, 让人生气了, 觉得我不尊重. 有时侯过度透露我的一切, 而让人不安了, 觉得我是个无法给人安全感的笨蛋, 让人失望了, 觉得我还是个爱玩的小妹妹.

数天前, 我终于把最后一张试卷呈上了. 我还以为自己会有多雀跃, 但其实什么都没有. 步出考堂, 背后还传来考生们的欢呼. 他们都是用功的学生吧? 因为只有真正努力熬过来的人, 才会对一场痛苦的结束有切身的感受. 那是一种解脱的心情. 我可能没有认真投入过, 所以最后也只能在别人快乐的时候, 置身事外. 然而, 我不是对所有结束都那么无动于衷. 只是, 路走了那么远, 我知道, 面对人事物的结束, 无论有再深的感慨, 也是无常. 重点在于当下的处理方法. 是要将难过的心情表现出来? 还是藏在心底让它淡去? 如无意外, 我通常选择后者.

毕竟, 很多事情不是我说了算. 别生气了好吗? 别再学我MIA了. 希望我香港回来后, 你的气也该消了.

random update

 

its alright. reassurance is all we need sometimes

Sometimes I really think that a few words of support can make us feel much better! Well-placed words of reassurance can have a massive impact. They encourage me to get thru the though days, and help to keep me motivated when things are going well.

When we stumbled and hurt ourselves while playing as a kid, with tears and blood streaming down, it felt good to be gently told : "There..there..Everything is going to be fine." Given alongside the bandage.

Being adult, I realize the grown up reality that everything doesn't always turn out to be fine. I mean, not ironing out as planned. Thats why its even more valuable for us to be reminded that it is possible to come out the other side albeit with a few bumps and bruises.

Having someone else reassure us that we can face up to today's challenges can give us exactly the strength that's required to tackle them head on.

But, itsn't it a sign of weakness to need the reassurance of others?

ABSOLUTELY NOT!

The future is mapped out for none of us. No one can ever be totally sure how things will turn out. True, we plan, predict and make educated guesses, but there is never a money back guarantee that we will end up with the outcomes we want. It's not surprising. Therefore, that we often look to others ppl to provide us with the reassurance we lack. This background of self doubt and unforeseen circumstances can be distressing.

Surely, someone else can make us believe that tml will turn out fine, after all. Thats what we need to believe, despite what life throws at us. Both the good and the bad stuff.

Maybe you feel like this urself sometimes. I know I do.

If so, who reassures you ?

如果你看到面前的阴影，别怕，那是因为你的背后有阳光

I feel many different types of energy coming at me. Things are a bit demanding on the emotional front these days. Its like an intense and troubling time. As altruistic as that may seem from the outside, I really wish to commit to an escape plan. The wall you and I have built.

Everyday. Give. Thank.

If someone has been kind, thank him or her today.

We cant show gratitude without sharing it with someone. Its a way of sharing our joy with that person. Even as simple as burning a candle to show gratitude to God. I recalled how ppl lit the candles in the world tallest church I'd visited back in Ulm Minster last autumn. It shares the joy with everyone who sees the flame of candle. It strengthens their faith.

Each day we come across beauty in a number of shapes and forms. But we have become so accustomed to this beauty that it largely goes unappreciated. The most wasted of all days is the one without laughter. How very true. Never be too busy to laugh. Or too serious to smile. This is specially dedicated to all my fellow friends who are currently so being caught up with stresses and strains of uni life. Yea you get to see a lot of flat faces if you would stay in the MMU library for just a few moments right now. But the good thing is there are a lot of my good friends there in the library with me :)

yea we're not alone lol.

Lastly, lets put on a happy face! Sometimes we have to fake it until we make it. I'm not suggesting that we not be real or authentic, but im suggesting, sometimes, we just need to put on a happy face and keep moving forward :D
