一些由衷的感言

时间是27-10-08。其实我过得有点累。在面临自己的将来，我不知所措，很犹豫，很挣扎。经过了一个又一个的挫折，我虽没有完全放弃，却不得不承认我筋疲力尽。

值得一提的是最近遇见了他们。因为这一群年轻人，我的生活多了一些比数字更有意义的东西。谢谢你们！=）是你们让我有机会做自己真正想做的东西。我其实懂得很多工作以外的事，却从来只有少许机会一展所长。常跟朋友说，其实星期一至五，我是一个活死人。周末的时候，生命注入了生气，到了周日，一切又恢复往常。所以在一个星期里，我只活两天。

对于一直以来支持我的人，认同我在做的事情的人，以及承认我另一方面成就的人，我在此由衷地感谢你们。有几个人想在这里特别感谢他们；Kah Hon, Kenneth, Teddy, 老爸，老妈, 谢谢你们没有用世俗的眼光来评论我这一生的成就。Kah Hon, thanx for telling me everytime tt u respect me for my undying passion aft 12 years (to date), though i know u are then the really successful person in terms of financial position. Kenneth, thanx for giving me pointers everytime i face a delinma whether to proceed on with anything in my line. Though we are not in the same industry, but we can still claim tt its all creative work we are doing..... Thanx to Teddy, though u always say tt im zai but i know for sure, u are actually the zai person. I know u will definitely sore high someday in the corporate world.
老爸，老妈，谢谢你们没有因为我赚的钱不多而觉得我是没用的儿子。（或许你们有那么觉得，但我还是感谢你们没有阻止我做自己想做的事。）

至于你们这一群年轻人，真的很高兴遇见你们，也其实珍惜与你们度过的时光。你们在不知不觉中其实在我的生命中有留下一些脚印，不论未来如何，我会记得你们。 =）

Wedding at Marriot Hotel - 4-Oct-08
Concept of Multi - Intelligence

Time is 6-Oct-08. Just attended Samantha's Wedding on Sat. It was a nice experience. Finally my task is done, her wedding is over, i completed the dance =D. Well, though she nv visits this blog but all the Best wishes to her in her next phase of life..... =)

Having done the dance item for her at her wedding, it somehow reminded me of the concept of Multi-intelligence, a concept learnt during NTU times from the Module OB. Came back and looked thru my txtbk regarding this concept and felt like jotting everything down in this diary.

Under the framework of MI, there are 10 types of intelligence, as opposed to the orignal intelligence of only IQ (Which consists of Logical/Mathematical Int, and Verbal/Linguistic Int) and EQ (Emotional Int).
The 10 types are as follows with specific characteristics and some examples:

1) Logical/Mathematical Int - Processes thots thru Analytical, calculations etc - Albert Einstein
2) Verbal/Linguistic Int - Processes thru Language/ Words - Consultant Tom Peters
3) Interpersonal Int - Processes thru interaction, humour etc - Entertainer/ Magician
4) Intrapersonal Int- Thinks in quiet, goal orientated, independent - Business Tycoon Howard Hughes
5) Visual/ Spatical Int - Uses mental models, thinks 3D, pictures & visualizes - Architects
6) Musical Int - Sensitivity to pitch, melody, rhythm - Composers
7) Bodily & Kinesthetic Int - Physical movement, cycle-motor, processes by motion - Michael Jordan
8) Naturalist - Needs to be with/ survive in nature - Singer John Denver
9) Existential - (Nothing to do with religion) Knows why he/she is here in this world - Civil Rights Leader Martin Luther King
10) Emotional Int - Emotionally mature, reacts to emotions of self & others - Pacifist Leader Mohandas Gandhi

And most imptly, the concept of MI acknowledges that Int is not inborn and decided at birth but can be nutured....=)

So why after Sam's Wedding i will be reminded of the MI concept? Cos at the Wedding on Sat, the guests were impressed by the dance the bride & bridegroom danced to tt they asked who choreo the dance for them... So of cos, effectively the person is me la. The interesting thing to note abt is tt On tt night, When i saw them dance, I had the sense of achievement. Being to able to convert 2 adults from non-dancers with no musicality to Dancers who can actually perform in front of a huge audience, i really had a great sense of achievement. It reminded me of things such as Job Satisfaction. In my current job, im like a zombie with no job satisfaction everyday. But then it really surprised myself tt such a short item on a wedding can give me satisfaction. Its not a concert /watsoever, but then I still had tt feeling...

Its Amazing, issit it? The job tt feeds me & my family, dun get any satisfaction, but the activity tt doesnt generate any income for me gives me the most satisfaction... Diaozz right?

Actually if the concept of MI holds for human beings, then actually though i dun haf high IQ, my other level of Int are perhaps rather high... Perhaps a person's Int or even self-worth shldnt be decided on absolute things such as IQ. This brings me further to think, in current society, ppl judge status/achievement based on Financial position, issit v superficial? Eg. Wah he v successful leh, 30 yrs old can earn his 1st $1mil etc.

Actually, there is more to e evaluation of a person's Self-worthiness, aint it?

Sometimes i cant help but think, am i living in a screwed-up world? Cant the society be more adapting to ppl from diff professions, and yet give recognition? Haizz.....
