I shared with my students(100+) the writings by S.Dali this morning during my Maths class. It is written direwctly out of my mouth, so to speak. This is my main concern and DISAPPOINTMENT that I m staying with our UN-educated malaysians around me. They don’t understand that their STUPID degrees/masters WILL NOT make them a better person, an intellectual being and contribute to mankind!!

Problems with today’s young graduates by S.Dali
The headline may sound like an old man bitching about how tough it was during his younger days, I hope its not. Over the last few years I have had to hire at least 10-15 new graduates every year, and then get the unit managers to train them up. In highlighting their shortcomings, I have to generalise but I am sure that’s pretty much the same conclusion throughout the country in all industries.
1) Rich parents - Parents who are rich, please note, generally your children will be assholes if you do nothing right when they were young. That’s because the over mollycoddling, pandering to their whims and fancies, have shaped their character - which is pathetic. I have a few rich kids who have OK degrees, but decided to quit of a couple of months because they wanted to do something else. When asked further, they said they wanted to go further their studies. Geez, that is only an option if your parents are well off. After the years of investment into the child, there is no inclination of the need to be independent or self sufficient. They can have the option because the parents allow them to. What a wonderful bunch of kids.
Some even have the audacity to go for a long holiday after their graduation. You try to follow your Western fellow graduates… well for one, most of them work for at least a year to save up before they embark on their travels (I don’t think we do)… and when they study, they themselves take up student loans which they will pay back when they work (which we don’t).
2) Character - Linking onto the above, the same spoilt brats generally have poor character. When I say character, I meant ability to assume responsibility, respect for corporate culture, ability to apply themselves well, work at something, ability to learn and willingness to learn, and general people skills.
3) English - Now we go to quality of graduates. Most, whether they are local or foreign graduates, cannot speak coherent English. I am appalled that the Chinese schools are now clamouring for Science and Maths to be taught in Chinese for the first 6 years of schooling. Why? English is not a glorification of western culture, it is an essential tool for business and global communications. I am not dissing Chinese, Malay or Tamil language, but if you think you can compete in an increasingly globalised world with just your mother tongue, that is misplaced arrogance of culture. Study English together with whatever other languages you want, not at the expense of English. It is also not enough to just have a working knowledge of English, you need to master it. Education gives a person choices and options, and English broadens that scope even more. Can your child go and work in the US or UK financial firms, if he/she wanted to? If they had the tool, they would be sought after if they were good.
4) Communication skills - Linked to the mastering of English, it is not enough to learn how to do power point presentations or run up figures in excel spreadsheets. A person can greatly add value when they can present them well. Oratory skills are mightily lacking in Malaysian young graduates. The art of persuasion, the ability to project professionalism, and eventually the ability to lead. Just imagine Obama without his oratory skills. I always exhort my friends with kids to forget about the ballet classes, the extra tuition classes… make sure you enroll them in the drama and speech making skills classes, there are a few around.
5) Intellectually not strong - When I come across even those who scored fantastic results or graduated from top foreign universities, I find some of them unable to hold an intellectual argument. If presented with a common question such as why are we now in this global economic crisis. Most I will hear are one or two points: easy credit, excess leveraging… and nothing else. A decent answer would have to include examining the crux factors, there are at least 5, and then ascribing proper blame proportionately. You need to examine a complex issue from a few angles. Our education system is such that there is only one answer per question in the exam papers. Hence after giving one answer, they think they have answered the whole question.
6) Bias - Some will say that local graduates are unfairly discriminated. I don’t buy that. I tend to not look at degrees as that only tells me you can read and write. What most employers are looking for is that one quality - I call it street-smartness or ability to think on his feet. Can you be taught that? I don’t know. It has to do will self assurance and inherent self confidence. These people are problem solvers, they are doers, they take the initiative, they will speak up at the right time, they get the job done by hook or crook. They rise above the crowd because they won’t be the first to say "cannot do". They are achievers when they put their minds to it. They can be persuasive and they apply themselves diligently to master any new tasks. You have that, the degree is just a visa for you to travel further in your career.
We have too many followers, not enough street smart people. I don’t think you can teach that at MBAs. But one thing for sure, you may be able to cultivate "street smartness" when they are young. Always encourage and allow your kids to join the Scouts, Drama Clubs, Leos or Interact clubs. To me, these are breeding grounds for future corporate animals. The interaction, social politics, club politics, camaraderie, application to one’s objectives are all critical to encourage one to develop and establish his own identity and personality, and in many ways help them make sense of how the world operates. Most of the street smarts I know who now do well in corporate world, also did remarkably well in those movements and clubs when they were younger.
Parents nowadays have fewer children, so they can spend more resources on them. Don’t molly-coddle. Some over protective parents do not allow their kids to join any society or clubs even. They get ferried to and from school and then to and from tuition. When home, they do some homework and play computer games or do internet chats the whole time. Time to rethink our influence in our young.
TEH : This writing is taken from one of the TOP Investment Blog in Malaysia, written by someone top in his profession.
For my STUDENTS, please help to share with your friends, tell them about OUR pathetic un-educated society, and DO NOT be one of them!! You may copy and paste this into you blog, or forward through e-mails, but DO NOT start that irritating chain-mail. We have enough of STUPID ‘friends’ forwarding us many STUPID pictures/stories … enough said. Hehe.
Noon … still very much excited about my Trading Blog. hehe.
It is more on Economics, Finances and Investments. It is generally about my ADVENTURE … and if i m going to succeed in my GOAL in 4 years time is left to be seen.
Once I done well with my trading, I might only teach Maths part-time(as I still love teaching Maths) while teaching trading in a more professional and serious manner.
So, I m going to promote my Trading Blog to my students … they know me personally, so … ONE DAY, I could be their financial consultant that they could trust!! And for those who wish to learn TRADING/INVESTMENT, they are welcome to attend my ‘easy to learn’ classes. We are takliing bout EARNING HUGE money here, by yourself.
So, visit me at //cpteh.blogspot.com …. and you might be impressed! Haha
TEH
Glad that I started a new tuition class at Waikiki Tg Aru. He is paying me well. Hehe
Need to re-arrange my time for new/existing classes for Jan. Some bookings have not confiirmed. As I will be monitoring global markets, besides tuition classes, I still hv my full-time job … teaching at Sinaran.
So, I shall be busy … and migrating to a NEW blog using blogspot. I find blogspot more convinience. Hehe.
TEH
Graduation on Sat for some students — these days we have FEW graduations in our lives. Haha … talking about qualities vs quantities. Never mind … too busy to write.
I wanted to upload songs and also embed youtube but I dont know HOW with blogsome. I like blogspot much better. So, I will MIGRATE to blogspot for NEXT YEAR blog.
Yes, I m busy with my trading blog, but I still want to write in my personal blog, especially about our clowns in Parliment. We are talking about FINANCIAL CRISIS, these jokers(HIGLY PAID with a lot of $$ masuk pockets) talking about trivial race issues, YOGA(what is fatwa), and some still more interested who will sodomise who next. Laughing stocks, man. Embarassing to know SUCH a mentality in our LEADERS? Haha … some dont even know ANYTHING, except how to talk-cock. You may ask them to suck my cock!! REally frustrated to mention about these CLOWNS!! Buuu-huuu
NEGATIVE WORDS INSIDE US
If our parents can set a lifetime of programming with one wrong statement, imagine the kind of programming you are doing on a daily basis with your own internal dialogue. Here is a list of Toxic Vocabulary words.
Notice when you or other people use them.
?But: Negates any words that are stated before it.
?Try: Presupposes failure.
?If: Presupposes that you may not.
?Might: It does nothing definite. It leaves options for your listener.
?Would Have: Past tense that draws attention to things that didn’t actually happen.
?Should Have: Past tense that draws attention to things that didn’t actually happen (and implies guilt.)
?Could Have: Past tense that draws attention to things that didn’t actually happen but the person tries to take credit as if it did happen.
?Can’t/Don’t: These words force the listener to focus on exactly the opposite of what you want.
This is a classic mistake that parents and coaches make without knowing the damage of this linguistic error.
Examples:Toxic phrase: ‘Don’t drop the ball!’Likely result: Drops the ball.Better language: ‘Catch the ball!’
Toxic phrase: ‘You shouldn’t watch so much television.’Likely result: Watches more television.
Better language: ‘I read too much television makes people stupid. You might find yourself turning that TV off and picking up one of those books more often!’
Exercise: Take a moment to write down all the phrases you use on a daily basis or any Toxic self-talk that you have noticed yourself using. Write these phrases down so you will begin to catch yourself as they occur and change them

3.30pm .. time to go home. I m too busy looking into market. Wont hv time till end of the year … my thoughts could be seen at //cpteh.blogspot.com. Everything else will be pushed aside.
TEH
Morning … classes resume today. Nothing much, except they are preparing for the Graduation Day. Also, we will have the staff retreat — to smell TEA at Sabah TEA. Yes, I have been smelling TEH since I was born. Haha.
Last night I played quite badly in the 3-6-9 bowling tournament. Well, lack of match practices and missed so many simple spares. Hmm … luckily I do enough to recover the game fees.
Arsenal won!! Wow … MU won too. So, can Liverpool beat the BOTTOM team WHU tmr morning to go to top? They lost to BOTTOM team Spurs, remember? And of coz they cant score against Stoke or Fulham. Torres is injured again … who is going to score the goal? Gerrard? Or perhaps Reina? Hmm …
TEH
Morning … finally, all maths paper over, including SPM Add Maths. Totally no tuition for 2 weeks or so. I m redundant without my classes. Wonder what I will do if I m to retire early as I planned? Hehe …
Bowling
Last night I played three games — league, for SHADOW’s team. Just for the fun and friendship sake, I m back into the CPS league. I helped the team to win against Nora’s team. I beat Nora(2nd best female player in Sabah!!) 3-1. Hehe.
TEH
Morning … it has been a while since the last time i jot something here. Yeah, I was very busy with my trading(and writings there) … and especailly it is a school holiday, so I hv more time to READ and study/analyse the charts/graphs. Interestingly, I m thinking of making these research as my Master’s project, IF i m going to do it …
Putting that at the back of my mind, I m very disappointed with Liverpool’s performance ..,. they lost to Spurs twice!! Playing against WestBrom is not counted and if tmr they cant win, they can forget about the top two spot, yet again(before x’mas). So, no good news from Liverpool, just yet.
As for my tuitions, I m taking a break as students are having exams. I m so used to be busy with classes, and currently I m so ‘free’ that I spend my hours monitoring markets!! KLSE, STI or HSI.
Last Sat was a little interesting as I accompanied Mag to Le Meridian(yes, we hv one in KK but …. err … it looks like 3-star hotel, in the midst of markets, busy narrow Sinsuarn area … congested, dirty place) for a parenting talk organised by Mead-Johnson. My son surely enjoy it the most, and I enjoyed the view into the see … not forgetting the nice food. Hehe
At the school front, not much happening as A-level and SAM exams is still going-on. I need to complete my proposal for the new campus’s International Student Unit. I wont be in charge next year, and i do hope to pull out of Rotaract club too(like the community service part but dislike the overly socialising part). Until I decide if i m taking my Master in UMS, i shall be ‘free’ …
Bowling — I played the 9-pin tap final, but I played so badly(tho being one of the top seeds) that I m not even in top 10(of 48 bowlers). Never mind … my mind was on trading, actually. There is an up-coming 3-6-9 tournament at the end of the month and most probably I will give it a skip.

CANBERRA (Reuters) - An Australian holiday resort will hold a month-long, nude "anything goes" party to combat an expected economic downturn, media reports said on Thursday.
"Tough economic times call for stiff measures," Tony Fox, the owner of the White Cockatoo resort in Mossman, in tropical Queensland state, told the Courier-Mail newspaper.
"It will be a hedonism resort, where anything goes for a month. It doesn’t take rocket science to work out what it means," Fox said, naming March as the risque party month.
The controversial "clothes optional" resort made headlines three years ago when police were called to end partner-swapping parties after a swathe of public complaints.
"You’ve got to wonder what sort of people go and why. Where is the moral code of behavior and how do you stop jealousies and fights?" Cairns Catholic Bishop James Foley said after Fox’s announcement.
But local regional Mayor Val Schier said she was not opposed to the event as long as no laws were broken.
"People in tropical north Queensland are extraordinarily creative," Schier said. "It is tough economic times and as long as it is with consenting adults, then there is no problem."
Australia’s tourism in industry is being hit hard by global economic turmoil with official figures showing a 7.6 percent decline in overseas visitors in September.
Industry leaders expect holiday bookings may drop by up to a third in early 2009 and are planning a new international advertising campaign to coincide with the movie "Australia" starring Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman.
Fox said his resort was almost fully booked for the month-long rainforest party.

Bowling vs Trading
Have you ever been to bowling alley and play a game or two? If u never, ever wonder WHY NOT?
Have you ever been ‘trading’ and buy a stock or two? If u never, ever wonder WHY NOT?
Assuming you have(otherwise, WHY would u be reading my trading blog??!), have you ever been LUCKILY strike(all ten pins down in one throw. By the way, if u are wondering how many pins there is in a rack, it is TEN, that is why they called it 10-pin bowling)? What is your first reaction when you STRIKE? You will jump with joy(like a monkey, I would say … and disrupting me playing on the lane beside! Ha).
Assuming you have, have you ever LUCKILY bought a counter and WIN the trade? Is your re-action similar of getting a strike? Ha!
But, many more throws you dont get strikes, left a few … or many beginners will throw it into ‘longkang’. They NEVER ask WHY!! Ever wonder why they NEVER ask WHY?
But, many more trades you dont win big, lose a bit … or many beginners will throw their money into KLSE ‘hole’. They NEVER ask WHY!! Ever wonder why they NEVER ask WHY?
They look around … and they saw this youngster who know how to CURL(we called it hook) the ball into the pins(pockets, actually) … they will think, WOW he knows how to CURL the ball. That is cool … he must be very good!! Haha. So stupidly naive!
They look around … and they found this blog, who know how to write(we called it blogging) about the trades … they will think, WOW he knows how to write a trading blog. That is cool … he must be very good!! Haha. You are naive if u think so.
In their mind, they will be thinking … hey, if i know how to curl the ball like him, I could play good too. And i can impress my friends!! I will learn just that, it cant be THAT difficult.
In their mind, they will be thinking … hey, if i know how to write a trading blog like him, I could trade well too. And I can impress many around!! I will learn just that, writing only ma … won’t be THAT difficult.
So, they quietly read some bowling books or watching few bowling videos. Ah ha!! They said I just need to release my thumb at 10 o’clock and it will curl by itself!!
So, they quietly read some trading books or reading some blogs. Ah ha!! They said I just need to mention a few trading jargons and it will SEEN as impressive!!
They will go to the bowling alley, and try out the techniques. After a few frustrating throws, the ball doesnt curl, and they even hurt their fingers. Damn. Stupid book … how could they NOT telling me the TRUTH. I just want to get a strike, who cares what bowling is!! Dont tell me about pockets, pre-shots, 5-steps, where to stand, which boards to throw, bending my sliding kness(what!! Bend knee for WHAT), balancing, follow-through, breathing techniques, … to increasing the leverages, carrying, messengers, oil-conditions(short long), gutters … etc etc … STOP!!! I just want to get a STRIKE, WHY u are telling me all these!! Teach me how to CURL the ball. I know what 10 o’clock thumb release is, ok?? Without realising, frustration getting into your head, you will NEVER bowl well ….
They will go to trading ground, and try out the trading system they read. After a few frustrating trades, the trade doesnt work, and they even hurt their pockets. Damn. Stupid book … how could they NOT telling me the TRUTH. I just want to earn some money, who cares what trading is!! Dont tell me about volumes, stop-loss, averaging, doji, economics, inflations, interest rates, supply-demand, commodities prices, indicators, xxxx , etc etc. STOP!! I just want to get a WIN in my trade, WHY are you telling me all these!! Teach me how to win a TRADE, better still just tell me WHAT to BUY. I know what buying a stock is, ok? Without realising, frustration getting into your head, you will NEVER trade well ….
And they wonder WHY they never be able to beat that old-man who is playing a straight unfancy ball, using 10 pounds yet winning small tournaments, oftenly!!
And they wonder WHY they never be able to beat that un-educated old-man who is trading without any fancy softwares, using common sense yet winning in small trades, oftenly!!
TEH : I m a bowler … I used 2 yrs to decide if I m seriously taking up bowling, then I registered with a bowling club in Cheras(one-five), playing with the experienced bowlers, learning how to bowl well. I read many bowling books for 3 years … and without fail, asking coaches around and share their views. Today, I may no longer very active in competitive tournaments but with GOOD strong foundation, I could easily beat those majorities. So, personally I m applying what I hv achieved in bowling for my trading. I see the parallel.
Morning … tho i m having holiday, I do still come to school everyday. Well, i m monitoring markets!
Today will be the last paper for Maths - paper 7(statistics). Then, next week i wont be here. Will also take a break from market … totally free!! Hehe
As i hv not blog for a while(i m currently active blogging at //cpteh.blogspot.com) I hv too many things accumulated. Never mind … but I need to note that USA is having a BLACK OBAMA as their president. WOW!! In our IMMATURE Malaysia’s GOV, chinese will NEVER be allowed to have any say in determining who our PRIME MINISTER!! Look … only 191 UMNO delegates to vote for UMNO president, in which AUTOMATICALLY(NO LAW STATING THAT, IDIOTS!!) becoming our Prime Minister. Even within UMNO, president UN-OPPOSED. Have you ever wonder WHY? Haha
Ok OK …. on the better side, Ceo, VP and me(HUH?? ME??) were interviewing a young lady(ex-IS student) applying to teach LAW. My comments are confidential la … hmm …
Other than that, I m disappointed with Liverpool’s performance. Also market performance. Sigh.

Haha …
Liverpool

Remember when they beaten MU only to draw with Stoke City? Hope this time they could prove critics wrong. Liverpool do has the chance this year!! Been saying that for years??
