Lifted from Sandhya Aunt’s facebook status..

Good morning.. have a nice day! :)

Good morning..

Reminds me of the Dumbledore saying – ‘The biggest mistakes adults make is that they forget what it is like to be young’ ..

Have a nice day! :)

4.Problem Statement

In a recent interview conducted with Mrs. Corrine Ong, Director of the NUS Career Centre, it was revealed that NUS fresh graduates have a lower employment rate as compared to SMU fresh graduates in the banking and consulting sector. Relatively weaker oral communication skills could be a major contributing factor to this statistic. Additionally, we could also be looking at a factor that could possibly stall careers of students aspiring to build their careers in such firms.

This study aims to determine the cause of NUS students having weak oral communication skills and investigate possible curriculum changes to improve these skills in students, specifically applicable in the banking and consulting sector.

5. Purpose Statement

This proposal aims to convince the NUSEU that the current faculties’ curriculums are insufficient in equipping NUS students with the essential oral communication skills to compete in the banking and consulting sector. And that an improvement in the curriculum must be made.

Good morning.. Have a nice day!! :)

Just took a midnight walk thanks to calls from my ArtVibe team to check out their cool completed masterpiece. I was tempted not to go with FYP and work generally looming but hey.. given I wrote the line about letting ourselves being influenced first, there was no way I was saying no..

And boy, isn’t their work a master-piece?

Some Facts –
1,600 sq feet..
Handpainted largely by 5 incredible people (with help from a few others as well..)
They are hoping 2,000 NUS students will sign on this work of art..

Oh, And I think they deserve an award if they manage to pull it off and survive the week! Here’s to them.. Very proud! :D

On a side note, United beat Liverpool 2-1 today.. and Chelsea drew meaning United are now top of the table..

Trophies are only handed out in May, but we ought to celebrate small wins, right? :D

To Nishanth – for the video in the post below – Learning leadership from the naked dancing guy.

I love the part about leadership being overrated! It is true.. every one of us are leaders – atleast leaders of our own lives if not others..

To Shubhangi and Archana – Shubhangi slipped in a ‘Good job with your blog’ wall post on facebook. Nice to hear.. :) And nice of her to take the extra stuff.. :)

Incredible! :)

What is about being vulnerable that makes us step away?

Why is it so hard for us to let ourselves be influenced?

Is it so hard for us to trust another?

Is it the fear of our trust being misplaced?

Or have the demons of a past failure come to haunt us?

..

We can only influence if we can be influenced..

If we have to touch lives, we have to allow lives to touch us..

Are we putting ourselves out there enough?

Not ‘all the time‘, but ‘enough‘?
