Crossroads

The end of a journey is always the beginning of a new one. At some point of time, everyone will reach an intersection whereby we will each head off to our own individual paths. Although it is a short journey, this module has taught me a lot not just in how to package and present yourself but also about the bonds of friendship!

I've a friend who once told me, we should never be afraid of doing stupid things (of course to a certain extend). He said that how we are always so shy when trying to pick up a girl for instance, just to talk to a random stranger and even down to doing dares and making a fool of yourself. However, it is later in life that you remember all these foolish little things we did when we were young, have a drink and laugh over it as we remember life. It is not the 5 As you got during exams, or the awards you received that matters and I agreed with him. Till now, it is not the grades that I remember but rather how we used to do foolish pranks on our teachers, skipped lessons to have some fun and many other small things.

The same goes for this module. We should have confidence in ourselves when we speak or present. Don't be afraid to make mistakes because we learn from each one. We are not the best but neither are the others. That is what I've learn from this lesson. It is how we effectively communicate ourselves to others that matters the most. At the end of the day, I'm sure we will all remember Julian playing his jazz song for us and not how tough this module was! That is effective communication to me. Thus I end off with this quote I found.

“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.”

— John Lennon

I hope that no matter what the future holds, we will still remember this module that we took together 10 years down the road!
