[Applause]
now in aviation as a pilot it’s all
about and there’s one particular
instance when I as a pilot as well
believe that something to get pretty
anxious and that instance is just before
we take off and flying to the sky when
air traffic controllers tell us line up
and tell he was very poor at this
particular time before this line up in
weak position before
we’re at the runway we’re going to come
up we’re gonna take off pilots have done
all that checklist manager we have to
make sure the captain the copilot
cross-checked all the data they had to
talk within cabinet to make sure that
passengers have to toss their hands will
stop playing with it put in an airplane
motor worn their seat belts everything
is done it’s ready we’ve done all the
planning we’ve done all the preparation
we’ve done everything we could make sure
everything is as safe as possible we’re
not taking off yet because the edge of
the patrollers tell us just line up and
wait and I want to remember this because
it’s quite important Ellie get through
it a little bit later but first let me
tell you a story my name is Johan for
entirely
hence my initials JFK now I was born
into about a raise in Kuala Lumpur in a
place called the living flats which some
young people have no idea I was raised
by my mother the late mrs. márcia aunt
Josephine Nicholas I love what I miss
her and when I was three years old she
bought me a book this book I kept so
close to Mia
I pretty much spend my whole day with it
I was three years old it was a book of
an aeroplane and it just had pictures of
undercarriage the wing and my first
would I think was pant it probably was
wing because ever since the age of three
I wanted to fly an aeroplane but I had
three really really big challenges one
money it’s not cheap to go to Flying
School believe me now and when your
mother is working in a factory trying to
make ends meet
she’s raising one child with no top
bless her soul I couldn’t go to insane
market at a million ringgit to good fly
school right the second big challenge I
couldn’t see it father his problems are
like clothes and then if you have a
problem it feels as it is the end but
you have a challenge you accept you know
that there’s a possibility that you can
actually open up to it so the second
challenge I faced was I couldn’t do well
in school telling one back during my
time the syllabus in school was in basa
and English being my mother tongue
unattended the only subject I could
actually understand in school you
guessed it was English mathematics
bahasa physics never went through
because not much going to the class was
sweet
sadly end up in a cookie blockage like
butter
so you could tell this boy there was my
second biggest challenge the third big
challenge for me was if I don’t have the
money
maybe at the steep an airline
scholarship or become a cadet or maybe
join the air force
maybe I don’t know but being in the Air
Force or signing up to it for example
you needed perfect eyesight too early to
have 20/20 vision
I wore glasses were blind as a bat so
these are the three biggest challenges
are fixed now I told myself I said okay
with all these three challenges I still
want to be a pilot I still want to fly
an airplane I still want to be a guide
that you know Mitch still I didn’t wings
fly what I do I told myself okay I wanna
maybe find the money my stuffing
whatever I earn I’ll put half of it to a
small piggy bank
just stop any seller so I asked myself
what do I like to see I was in a small
R&B acapella group in school study
so I started my career as a singer
you may recognize some of these faces I
love them to bits within a few years
from a group singular in an acapella R&B
group I went solo and then delve into
music by becoming a songwriter music
producer at the post office was some of
the biggest local artists emulation like
she imagine you are seeing dying or
fahisha and then after that I actually
can radio I wasn’t radio on multiple
stations
I loved broadcasting I love to talk
didn’t really require any subjects in
school but I got and from radio I moved
to television and also some of the
biggest shows on Malaysian TV networks
from television I got invited to be sure
become MCS masters of ceremonies I
conducted like events I love that and
all these time was doing this part-time
I was actually secretly working with the
actual Asian dance as well as originally
head for youth metal program I developed
youth Network scene in South Asia
I developed a team community which
turned into a business and the United
Nations recognized that and gave me the
order United Nations youth ambassador
for South Asia it was fantastic I was
living the life I was I was there money
is money in the sense where I was
comfortable I had a condition that
validation I I was I was living it oh I
was there but it was not content because
it was not my dream I’m here stop so
what happened in the other 2009 after 15
years in the Edit team when I brought
class industries’ a quick I used every
single cent I have and when to watch
trailer to learn to fly happen because
in Malaysia you would require to have
this particular certificate which say
that you pass have certain credits in in
SDM which I had working English that’s
really about it
so I had to get off straight they gave
my Airline Transport pilot’s license
from Australia come back to Malaysia
convert that to a Malaysians pilot
life’s would use me that they said okay
we don’t we accept you but you have to
do the conversion cost with a malaysian
pilot fantastic we’re going to do all
the example equals all over again
I didn’t I’ve got my license and then
off boss absolutely no job so I went
back and I became as humble as I could
and I said it’s ok what could I do I
actually small airplanes actually
celebrities personalities friends of
mine on the radio from television
I flew them around KL city and talked my
hours to gain the experience to just
show people around town but also getting
those flying hours and one point that I
must have on here and a half of doing
that fly I got to call from a regional
airline saying hey you’ve got some
experience come join us
I said fine thank you after two years of
an a-line I managed to join the world’s
best low-cost carrier in 2013 and today
I am the senior first officer for the
area x3 on the a330 that’s me right
right and also the second thing I’m
really working on is I’ve started a tech
startup I’m also doing business and
entrepreneurship an app which I will be
launching here is three years long
anyone in the pilot
I can I was hoping he could be maybe you
could be anything he wants and captain
the copilot the senior first officer
crucially pilot could be anything he
so out of all this right I’ve learned
some things which what for me which I
want to share with you which could
probably work for you as well and there
are 10 points which I have lived from
the day I first started singing until
this very day because I still don’t
think I’m where I am and where I want to
be I’m living my dreams yes but there’s
still a lot I can achieve is a lot more
Kevin there’s a lot who I want to do and
if you have a dream all right here’s a
little checklist for you if you want to
become pilots of your life all of a
sudden here’s in shadows the first thing
I recommend is to do is identify what
you want in life why don’t you do that
what are you creatively loving every
single day it’s number one because
you’re gonna do something for the rest
of your life better done well love doing
it right
once you’ve identified the second thing
you could is pretty much sweeter it’s to
visualize achieving your goals literally
every single day if you think about it
right you have your goals now you want
to visualize wake up you have an achieve
your dreams yeah it’s going shame about
it you think about it keep on doing
every single day and that’s what I did
three years ago I what team become
pilots my woke up thinking about it I
asked as we age a lot we are not still
doing it right visualize your the your
the only dreams third thing is to wake
up with positivity and love this part
wait here with positivity irrespective
if I wake up on the last time then the
rice and the bit of my wife kicks me on
the bitch to the front I’m the wake up
saying I’m going to have a great day I’m
going to be the best I can be and that’s
how I start my day the four thing would
be to understand the difference
interests and commit and this is
interesting because if you have a dream
and if interested in those dreams
interests I mean you will do everything
that’s convenient to achieve your dreams
that you committed to it you will do
what ever it takes that’s what I didn’t
committed I will do whatever it takes
even if you mean dumping that girl I’m
sorry but it I’m committed to it I’m so
thankful that now I don’t have to do it
anymore
as a matter of fact I popped so after
doing all right the fifth point will be
to mentally prepare to cry because yeah
three those heartbreaking things you
will cry yes
the sixth thing yes to stay away from
negativity because sometimes people have
and you sometimes people hear something
you’re trying to achieve something
alright and when you can see you doing
it they will get jealous they will get
envious remember when I was in the radio
I would have a bunch of followers and
and they will be haters for every 1000
people that I be there probably be one
or two people who just don’t like you
but they’ll be so vocal about it except
it is normal this is the negative you
want to stay away from then you will
have the sun point which is to manage
time and fiscally and effectively if you
spend most of your time on your phones
working on social media and I working on
social media you’re pretty much wasting
your time if you spend time on your
phones working to learn something new
doing some research towards your dreams
continue working more effectively right
number hang prioritize and track your
achievements so this point about
literally tracking
every week every month every year look
back at what you’ve been doing in the
past is just a few moments ago to see
there are you on track I remember when I
was in radio thinking is this where I
don’t want to go towards being a pilot I
don’t have the money yet what will be my
next step going to television which mean
even have two incomes
okay JFK go and do it and I did always
trap and check that with yourself
because if you’re on the right track
eventually propagate it quiet number
nine is the best part
every time you got all checklists like
being a pilot you’re going to be entire
checklist you’re ready you’re still not
given that final clearance to fly going
over and over those memory items those
those things you can do again the game
in your head if you have to because they
will come to come to a point you as well
being a student or again you’re working
towards your dream to achieve something
you got everything you possibly can
there will be a time when you’re not
clear as well on that runway all your
checklist complete your seat belts
fastened phones are off everybody’s
ready to go there’s silence in the air
suddenly there will be an option there
will be a command there will be
something that tells you you’ll be
cleared for takeoff you will be
successful whether it be a job offer
whether it be an opportunity love you
whatever you window that suddenly opens
you will be prepared and your success
will clear will be clear to take off into the sky
now in aviation as a pilot it’s all

instance when I as a pilot as well
