eh? looks like the music conked out again

hmmm xava eh? hmmm need a reason to link ya. not that you know me all that well and blah blah blah
*3 hours later*
all right. i won't be that mean =D but don't complain eh?

heeeey today was quite -.- doing math till 1:30 last night probably wasn't such a good idea, especially since quite a lot of people were "rushing" it today... by "rushing" i don't think i need to elaborate right? hmm doesn't matter. oh and Mr Teo was quite pissed today. think it was because ppl keep not doing tutorials. well occasionally i miss out a question or two and he complained about that to my dad, so i think you can understand how he feels abt the class omitting the tutorial. well i don't blame him. tutorials help aid the understanding of things.

oook, maybe i should move away from that painful topic. anyway, bah geog project due friday haven't even gotten it solid yet. so much to do in so little time. yawn. listening to some odd instrumental music now. supposed to calm you down but it's just making me sleepy >_> i guess it did what it said it would achieve though -.-

errr yeah, got more stuff to discuss heh. did anyone read saturday's "recruit"? there's a good article in there about sales marketing. gotta be aggressive, gotta have the knowledge, and most importantly, you have to appear confident.

oh yeah, there's a piece about leadership last week too. leaders come in two fruity flavours (XD) the "expansion" type and the "housekeep" type. you should always have two on the ball. one might be able to suffice you for some time but will eventually collapse in on himself. see, the expansionist type is that with new ideas bubbling in the head all the time. the ones that have great visions, the ones that are insightful. they are the ones who expand people's horizon, venture out into unknown territory, and are the one, when working in a company, will allow it to expand. "housekeepers" are masters at keeping things in order. just as when you keep increasing your office size, things get messier and messier, and things get lost. the "expansion" types rarely have both feet on the ground. they jump from one idea to another without much thought. so if you only have the "expansion" type of leader, you're going to see very fast growth, but you can't keep up with the growth. eventually you'll just buckle in on yourself. if you only have "housekeepers" though, you'll find that you're hardly going anywhere. sure everything is fine and in order, but you'll never accomplish anything BIG. you need both working together to produce miracles. so, if anyone is a boss in the future, you know who to promote =D

ah what else? hmmm how about the 80%-20% rule, also called the pareto principle. basically, 80% of the effort goes into 20% of the work. think of it this way: when you build a buildings, most of the owrk is concentrated on the foundations and perhaps the roofing. the stuff in between hardly counts at all. or since we're all doign PW now i'll use that as an example. the trouble initially was coming up with a good GPP. then the research was yadda yadda yadda then now it's report writing. GPP and report writing are the two biggest effort-takers. wouldn't you agree? comeon, even the presentation is easy, impromptu something on stage, practice a bit jiu can liao what right?

hmmm... ran outta topics already ahahah more tmr, i guess
