Googliness

It's been a long long while. Yup... But I never really thought of abandoning my Tart Shop.

September 21st, another childhood gathering. We were no longer as awkward as the first few times, this time, quite comfortably, even when we hung around meaninglessly waiting for movie time. Still, it's a meaningful gathering, although it's not complete, we were missing Ah Girl.


The movie we had chosen this time was "The Internship". I would give a big like for this movie. Not a professional movie reviewer, no fancy wordings for the goods and bads, I'm just an ordinary entertainment seeker. Comedy movies suit me best.


So why do I come back to my blog? Well, some feelings or thoughts just have to be recorded down or else they would be gone forever. I had some thoughts to jot down for my future reference.


2 salesmen, laid off, were looking for a job. Accidentally stumbled upon an internship opportunity in Google, they took a bold step and decided to give it a try. They had to compete with other university students to secure a full time job after the internship test. 95% of the population would be eliminated, only one team would leave the program as Google's employees at the end of the day.


Sure enough, with absolutely zero computer knowledge and comparatively aged bodies, they must have something else to keep them alive. Positive thinking is the first thing. No matter how difficult situations got, they just could stand up, not only that, but also affect the whole team, allow the members to fully open themselves. This is the power of positive mindset. Way to go Tart.


Secondly, their brotherhood. It's a movie and I'm aware of that. But I do hope this kind of brotherhood to have appeared in my life. They just knew what each other was thinking, picked each other up during down time, encouraged each other from time to time. Thumbs up.


Thirdly, the quote that came out from Billy's mouth, it roughly goes like this: What do u think people are most afraid of? Change.


Coincidence? A colleague of mine invited me to a bookfair and I found this book called "Who moved my cheese?". It's all about dealing with changes. Moral of the story - The only thing that stays constant is change. You have to adopt a right mindset in order to survive in this ever-changing world. Stubbornness just won't get you anywhere.


So Billy successfully closed a sales with this concept. Do not afraid to change. Applause to his speech.


Last but not least, my thoughts on speaking. Both of them could fare so well in the internship, and this does not solely rely on the few elements written above. They have a flair for speaking. They speak nice speeches. This is my fear. I do not speak well. I can't organize my speech and I do not have enough vocabulary to make my speech ear candy.


My resort? Reading. Hopefully reading helps me to improve my flow of speech and of course my vocabulary.


That's all for this post I guess. Quite emotionless eh? Didn't have the time to decorate my thoughts with beautiful emotional language LOL. Emotional phrases drag my articles too I believe. Till next time.
