all family – not one I was reminded of
his story of a factory manager and
consultant and this factory manager
obviously operates a factory and one day
one of them the look down so he
called a consultant can you kind of have
a look the consultant came have a look
at the Machine and all he did was he
took out a hammer and just knocked on
the machine we recognize me the machine
is running the game the factory manager
is very impressed and saying WOW came
all the way here not and the machine is
running how much should I pay you so the
consequence a 5,000 u.s. dollar this
time the factory manager is not very
impressed
he says come all the way here and to see
5,000 years old and what you do is just
not mean leave me how you touch me
so the consultant rather and give you an
invoice 40 US dollar for knocking for
9604 knowing where to knock today your
came here you pay for tearing Italy to
the bomb organizers say that you can
track you 496 euros okay just located
all right thank you for coming I have 18
minutes to share a little bit of a
concept with you guys and if I go over
what of time I do not I want to is free
for you guys example right this is
Olivia myself I’m actually from circa
any casapierce and I come before any of
you guys have never do this on a time
and the rest of you guys are not gonna
rise here so your vision Hydra
a model the gravity of education is both
my parents actually teachers after two
siblings bhaji my eldest sister my
brother and Hamburg Andres both my
civics are academically very educated
they are happy in fact promised to
secondary school and they are also
president of associations as for myself
the best achievement have done is at the
age of 18 years all of my siblings
managed together some a state
scholarship to study abroad as you know
for my parents are teachers they don’t
really love money so I’m very happy they
hope my sitting Spanish together as a
state scholarship me not too bad I also
got a scholarship
let’s go that’s right
most are in shock at the age of 21 years
old I graduated and on my graduation day
my mother gave me a book or wished for
that and I’m sure you got another spot
before the age of 21 years old I first
started investing in properties and for
the last 16 years I’ve been buying up
properties now today I’m not going to
share with you about property investment
because that’s a very important topic
but I will show you a concept and I call
this concept three years is one cycle
you guys following me
just one cycle not imagine and I think
this sharing might relate to you because
you guys are unity students and you’re
going to come back but your needs you’re
going to copper all over clearly all
right now if you imagine you’re 25 years
old and you started working and if I
compress three years into one cycle and
say retirement age is 55 years old so
how many is that 30 right and if to
cycle trees is one that we actually turn
cyclones to go through life basically to
simplify things is actually you only
need to make ten decisions in life and
you’re halfway there
maybe the 55 is already now my surely
this will be submitted to treat mask
think big start small and run deep and
I’m going to share this time using my
own experiences that are giving
now as you can buy a share on the
perspective of a student when we go into
the workforce I will say the most about
the continents one thing that you can do
it is the books that you read and the
people you associate with will define
your journey it’s very important that
you read books and mix around with the
right people it’s okay to think big I
want to promote and advise and encourage
you to think big you do micro Samantha
we’re very proud of it alone you’re so
humble and they killed over a hundred
hundred servants is okay to think
because there is a difference between
confidence and arrogance because when I
graduated I saw that my first job and my
first job is as a salesman selling three
packets of Mary Nestor thing my no two
orders of more service jobs that’s how I
started my journey even though I start
the SS ian.selleck August regards I have
always think thinking big is not just an
action is
it is in you that you SS ahaha we can
deliver us a simulator or knuckle of
Johor appealing as a Malaysian you can
do it doesn’t mean only doing the big
things you can be the best janitor you
can be the best at noon person you can
be the best engineer in be the best
accountant so thinking big and it’s not
a bad thing to look for corporate first
now this one is the our attrition you
guys is I think in the media today they
always make entrepreneur’s very sassy if
you are entrepreneur you are successful
if you are admire who we are still in
the red when it is not very certain
so you say I’m not to promote this
concept of it’s okay to work for caprara
it’s okay to look first one to our
suspension is second it’s because
imagine when you were young say upon
three and four four four five and you’re
very Wiggly mess what do you do
Omo your parents do you send you to
tuition what you do
attrition not only you have to learn if
the people know if you pay attention
teacher come to the first meeting
turns out in looking for someone working
in profit line the company is actually
pay you 1,000 or 2,000 to make all the
Mystics
[Music]
any money is there other one thousand
eighty thousand truth you know is that a
dreamer
just think about it the company is so
stupid to piss on survey triggers we are
distressed to learn and make mistakes
ladies and gentlemen is proclaiming to
work for this
let me share a bit of my story I
something else when I saw you guys and I
worked my way up and an age of 25 years
old I think very well in my carpet and I
was supposed to be promoted to be a
manager no I met someone and that
someone gave my proposal to do a
business so thinking at 25 years one
ready that master quiet and ready to do
business
[Music]
both my parents are teachers are shown
to be right and as a teacher he spent
the last twenty thirty five years
serving the common enemy no my father’s
I actually borrowed money from my
parents to do business so I’m supporting
promoter I say no I’d want to be
promoted I’m very good I want to do
business left a job took the money I
thought I’m going to a business and
within one week I found is a scam so at
25 years old I was cheated off
I lost my job and twisted my goodness
around so in Chinese our TVB India
my friends don’t know my knees don’t
jump are the waters around 325 years old
that happens you know must be enough but
you know you have just lost what do you
do
[Applause]
so when you start something you must
finish it and I always advise whether
your student already waiting for answers
forgive and love to stick open the
breach you must learn how to bundle
which that means there’s no backup
you won’t hear move forward right when
every backup you will not do as well and
this one of my experience of my talk
offend anybody
and you say to other opportunities is a
key ingredient to success along your
journey when you work there were a lot
of offers coming along he must be very
to say no because if not everything will
show you do you become a humble and
specialist all right try it going this
also can quick as you can
forefathers okay what hunt also help no
be a specialist in foreign s Allah
because of us we like to be criticized
right so say no have to say no to
opportunities tell me have a small town
does not mean we can make it bigger I
think some of us or maybe just a few
small towns and what I liked about
people that we have you know I come from
a small town in Nevada or small town
people very simple we just do one thing
at me first one one thing one thing at a
time but men were that big cities engine
yes just more people small is the new
big thing right the grass is always
greener elsewhere admit you’re a sweet
wherever you are today I am too nervous
in 10 years you can have to reaction
even wish
either you love it or you really to love
it but see the grass is always greener
equally now the process always winter
can you make love you too greedy okay
in my work I’m a real estate agent and
my company has branches in
kk1 camera and also in kerosene occur
behind 80 of them working in my pony and
what I do is SS ahaha I’m probably the
only one in Malaysia that specializes in
breeding restoration projects to be
launched in isolation right so I managed
to create a niche to bring restoration
project now doing business between
everything and the promise and over
deliver it’s very important whatever you
do even as a student or your personal
life your professional life under
promise and over deliver an efficient
human story of what I did and then I do
that I just joined a real estate
industry and also eight months old so
Monday I went to meet a developer CEO
and I say so I would like to bring the
project and once your attendance AHA the
developer company and say okay

thank you for giving me 300 used to sell
but I’d only need 20 the CEO look at the
NZ you come all the way to bid me just
to get 20 years to sell but I will you
see among 50 to 300
I said no I’d only need 20 you look at
me and say almost each other because
every agent it comes to my room says
that they can about everything they can
do everything they can sell everything
[Applause]
we tell you and we need clear one
some of us before anywhere else in the
world know whatever this is we do a lot
people we say profits and focus on
profits but we value and what they are
equally or developers that are
approaching Peninsular Malaysia always I
