  • How Does Your Vocabulary Measure Up In Today's Fast-Paced Society? - Whilst studying, my daughter attended an interview for a weekend reception position.

Next, work on your qualities as a learner: Adaptability - Learning Bahasa Malaysia implies learning the Malay and Malaysian culture which is not synonymous with monetary gain, prestige and super power. Do you have an open mind? Are you willing to show interest in the food, music and life-style of the Malaysians? can you accept them just the way they are?

  • Two Powerful Words - Copyright (c) 2006 Michael A. Verdicchio "I will." Those two words boldly declare power, determination and vigor. "I will." Those two words describe strength and decision. "I will" shouts victory loud enough to drown out the cries of difficulty. "I will" overpowers discouragement with accomplishment. "I will" is mastery over adversity. "I will" conquers complications, annihilates dilemmas, and sweeps away obstacles. Those two little words, "I will," resonate power. And the opposite, as you might well imagine, are the two words "I cannot." Those two words timidly speak of lack, indecision, and weakness. "I cannot" only sees difficulty and can never see victory. "I cannot" is discouragement with no possible accomplishment. "I cannot" is mastery over nothing but failure. "I cannot" is drowning in dilemmas and obstacles and sees no way out.
