After looking at the Nurturer and the Reformer, it’s probably good to look at another type of talent, known as the Achiever.
Nurturers thrive in relationship building and Reformers have their strengths in following and achieving their life goals. The Achievers, on the other hand, have their eyes on achievements. To the Achievers, achievements are their life. Every moment [...]

During our course of studies, we have learnt many things. While it is always good to be knowledgeable, not all the things that we came across are relevant to us in our lives. And what’s interesting is that we usually forget what we have learnt once we lose touch of them. For example, how many of you are [...]

Dear class,
Through the times that I have been facilitating classes for the past semesters, I have observed the strengths of different teams from their presentation sessions and have noted the various qualities that make such teams strong. I wish to highlight the essence of these teams’ attributes through the description of a hypothetical class Team X as shown below:
When Team [...]

Unlike the Nurturers who accommodate others, the Reformers are the complete opposite.  They do not back down easily when they have made a decision, even in the face of intense opposition.  Nevertheless, Reformers will still often abide by any existing hierarchical structures.
While this may seem like a weakness (since individuals who challenge others directly usually suffer a severe backlash), this [...]

The Lake of Ceranest is a beautiful place.
And Ceranest is the quiet and remote town to the east of France. It has been said that people living in this town never grow old. Of course, this is merely a legend. But even some legends have their basis based on facts. And this is one of them. Stories on the [...]

Dear class,
I will be starting another series on this blog, and will be naming it “The Fisherman and Sam” series. While the “Talent” series provides a factual description of the various talents in us through our personalities, “The Fisherman and Sam” series will take on a narrative style in the form of a story. From the [...]

There are many movies that we watch for entertainment but there are few movies which contain moral or philosophical messages. Therefore, it is always good when a meaningful film comes along once in a while, of which “The Forbidden Kingdom” is among them.
Having watched the movie over the weekend, I will like to bring out some [...]

Dear class, 
During one of our class discussions, some of you have brought up the concept of “Show, do not tell” when it comes to the reports by the media. I figure most of us will interpret this as a neutral, factual reporting of the media and not making any aspects of the report subjective.
Along the same [...]

 
Dear class, 
We are all talents in this world. Nobody is less than that.
Knowing this is important. But what’s more important is that we are able to identify our talents and realise our true potential. There are many of us who live our entire lives without fully utilising our talents. I hope that you will be [...]

Dear class,
In the coming months, I am going to start a series of articles on the types of personalities that we possess. While each of our personalities has its pros and cons, it cannot be denied that our personalities define our talents. Through our personalities, we are able to identify our strengths and through our strengths, [...]
