Charisma, drive, looks, nepotism, discipline, dedication, imagination, luck, ruthlessness, money.
Well, this was the first lesson that we learn from the Market Leader for upper intermediate business English course book in this morning lesson. Frankly speaking, I don't really know how to explain much about the "value" that I gained from this course because I know I would be ended up on the "negative side" if I ever talk about it. Perhaps what's my brother said to me was quite true about myself seems to be like a "girl" who keep talking the same thing over and over again as I am reluctant to move forward. One obvious example that you can saw was I had promised myself to quit writing this blog and I broken my own promise when I continue to write this post.
Somehow I was trying to practice self-compassion from the"Ten Deadly Habits That Drive You Away From Happiness" advice by thinking something that I am happy about. It is because no matter what other's people said to you whether it is good or not, I think that the most important is that you need to think it in a better way. For example, during the break time for the English class, I had take an initiative to go for the break with some friend instead of staying in the class room waiting the time to pass. The thing that I discover during the break time when I was with a friend who work as a financial related business in Saudi Arabia from Libya and another friend who work as a lawyer in KPMG for one of the Big Four from Brazil, they had get along very well discussing about different issues while I was just a listener in the middle of the conversation. Anyway, I had gain some useful information and liked to listen some story from people who is older than me.
In fact, I should be happy that I have this unique opportunity to get to know new people from different country. Sometime it seems to be quite useless to envy what other's people have when I didn't look closely of what I have. For example, when I envy some friend can go Scotland, Spain/Barcelona or London last time when I was in Sheffield, I seems to be get into a negative mindset last time instead of thinking in a brighter way. Furthermore, it is just about making decision because I can choose to go Scotland, Ireland, Stonehedge with Bath, Oxford, Bristol, Birmingham, Stratford Upon Avon and anyplace in London for now. However, I didn't explore much London for this past 6 weeks when I spend most of my time using the computer at the school from 4pm to 7pm. Guess this is why people say that "you won't appreciate much until you lost the moment" quotes as I am still in London while most of my friend already back to Malaysia.
Basically I shouldn't express so much of my opinion in this post because that might lead to "no good" for myself. Anyway, I had joined the Tuesday's Pub Night social program at Penderel's Oak again because this is my last week for the English course. Well, I do get to know some new friend from Italy and Japan although I do feel shy to get to know some girls. On the other hand, it might be true that it is quite hard for Asean people to come oversea to study based on our own currency exchange. For example, the average minimum salary of Malaysian is £250, Turkish is £300, Brazil is £350, Hong Kong £800, Japan is £1200, Switzerland £1400 and more. Over time, I feel that it is important to have a good charisma personality because it is easier to get other people to be interest with you. In short, it means to have the ability to get along easily or to be friendly with other people. Anyway, I seems to enjoy the beer in the pub although it is quite expensive. At last, I might agree it is more easy to socialize with foreign people by drinking beer in pub night. Overall I have enjoyed myself in drinking beer if I don't think about those "emo" stuff. Cheers~
