Did Signature Win the 08 Britain's Got Talent?

They were good but it was a 14-year old kid that has the strength of ROCKY and determination that won the competition. His name is Geroge Sampson, and last year he didnt even make it into the semi-final of the Britain's Got Talent 07.

This year, he is back with all that mighty determination and he made it by winning the final!

Catch his performance here, if you have not seen it before.

What is Success??

What is Success actually?

How many of you know what you want when you tell others that "i want to be successful"?



Time for you to think about it...and really understand what you really want in life.

Happy 43rd National Day Singapore!



Lyrics :

Have you seen a star,
One that guides you no matter where you are?
However vast the sky may be
Or dark it seems
You can be sure, it's always there for you and me

Have you heard a song,
One that moved you, one that made you sing along?
Your dreams and hopes will all come true
If you believe that every vision begins with you.

Shine for Singapore
This is your song
Deep inside your heart where it belongs
It'll always stay, strive for your goals.
You will achieve with visions so bold.

Shine for Singapore
This is our song
Reach out for the sky, far and beyond
As one we'll stand, we're Singapore
It's here that we belong

Have you heard a song,
One that moved you, one that made you sing along?
Your dreams and hopes will all come true
If you believe that every vision begins with you.

Shine for Singapore
This is your song
Deep inside your heart where it belongs
It'll always stay, strive for your goals.
You will achieve with visions so bold.

Shine for Singapore
This is our song
Reach out for the sky, far and beyond
As one we'll stand, we're Singapore
It's here that we belong

Nowhere i'd rather be, this is home to me
This star shines strong and free

Presentation with PowerPoints

(Image by barbara_nixon)

How to Design & Deliver Your Presentations using PowerPoints That Sizzle!

I have been presenting for many years (formally and informally), and have gone into coaching for awhile. Many people ask me what is the best for of presenting to grab the audience attention and to achieve the end results that we aim for.

My answer is: " Every form of presentation has its own merits and downsides, but all can be used to achieve your final aim. The most important thing is to determine your group audience and the purpose of your presentations. For coaching sessions where i want my students to absorb faster and more effectively, i would use Flip-Charts and Whiteboards. But for generating ideas across to the audience where visuals are very important - i will use PowerPoint Presentations."

We all heard of Winston Churchill and Lincoln Abraham. Both are great Motivational Speakers and Leaders.

As speakers, both practice the three-part rule of classic rhetoric Presentation Formulae:

1. Start with an attention-grabbing introduction. I personally prefer Outrageous Openings.

2. Use the body of your speech to deliver persuasive content. Over here, this is where i show my expertise to the audience.

3. Finish on a strong note with a call to action.

Great presenters would have had to learn to think like director Steven Spielberg and John Woo. They are both masters of the big screen because they both understands how to tell a great story with pictures and dialogues.

PowerPoint does some things spectacularly well, & some things much less well. As an economical easy-to-use visual persuader, it is unequaled. The problem is, unskilled presenters use PowerPoints ability to quickly produce text slides drown many of us in a tidal wave of bullet text (perhaps with a few diagrams here and there). It seems like many educational centres and schools are using PowerPoints to teach these days and students are having many "bullet-phobia". Many have complaint of falling asleep while their teachers can reading those bullet points non-stop. This is especially true when those slides are full of words in it (just look at the image above).

PowerPoints presenters have to also cope with limitations imposed by the way our brain works. Our short-term memory can only hold a very limited amount of information at one time. The brain processes presentations through 2 channels, a visual channel and an auditory channel. Overload one or both of these channels and you have overloads. We have all witnessed the symptoms called Audience Start Suffering from Mine Eyes Glaze Over (MEGO) symdrome.

Let's be more effective and efficient in shaping mission-critical presentations for success of our students which is our future champions. They won't learn well with loads of "boring-bullets" flying towards them.

My Sunday Walk @ New Part-Connector

Last sunday i managed to wake up and do the planned sunday walk with my meow @ the new Part-Connector from Harbour Front - Mount Faber - Henderson Waves - Alexandar HortPark - Kent Ridge Canopy Walk - Reflections @ Bt Chandu

It took me half a day to complete this 9km trail/canopy walk. Weather was extremely warm that day and the piercing sun will dehydrating my body. This was not helped by the fact that we started to walk really late @ about 9.30am. Completed the walk at about 1.30pm.

Think Singapore is really good about landscaping. All the parks are well connected and each have differences in them. In this way, we are not bored as we transit from one park to another. The most spectacular one must be the Henderson Waves near to Mount Faber. The structure was awesome and very artistic. Saw lots of professional photographers doing what they love over there.

Here are some photos to share with you. Enjoy.

DARK KNIGHT

This afternoon i was at the cinema to catch the Dark Knight (after being recommended to me by my students).

I must say that this is the best action superhero film I have seen this year. Not only it has lots of exciting battle scenes, special mention must be given to the late Heath Ledger, whose acting role in the movie as the psychopath Joker, which I feel, has far surpassed batman. Not only has he showed us how a psychopath acts, every area of how a psychopath thinks and feels, he has carried it out very well. Hmm. This is not a website to review movies, so i would just say that this is one of the greatest movie this year, and it combines good cinematography, writings, plots, actions, sound effects and excellent actings. The movie shows love, humanity, good over evil & power of psychology.



Now, do you all still remember the part where batman ask his company officer to make him a new batman suit? (after he was attacked by dogs). The new suit is made of Titanium & Kevlar, as mentioned in the movie. Want to know more how Chemistry is related to DARK NIGHT'S batman suit?
